Gongsun Fengying and the others quickly started searching around.
However, they were like headless flies, unable to find even a trace of Ye Guichen or even a shadow of Fan Chang’an.
One of the young Taoists finally spoke up, "There must be sothing wrong here. I’ll call back and ask Junior Master Zhang."
As he spoke, he took out his phone and dialed Zhang Chongchen’s number.
After briefly explaining the situation at the scene, Zhang Chongchen imdiately identified the anomaly: "If it is as you’ve described, you probably encountered a master. The other party has set up an illusion there, likely a kind of witchcraft, commonly known as a ghost wall."
The true aning of a ghost wall is not the presence of ghosts, but rather accidentally inhaling so kind of insect, which causes hallucinations and entering an illusory realm.
"Ah? What should we do?" The young Taoist’s face changed slightly.
If it is as Zhang Chongchen says, they might have inhaled a small amount of the bugs too. If they recklessly enter the pre-arranged illusion, they might not even know how they died.
In this situation, it seems that the illusion was closed by the opposing party to trap Ye Guichen.
Zhang Chongchen contemplated and said, "Don’t rashly search for Brother Ye anymore. In such a situation, it’s difficult to break the illusion from outside. If the other party doesn’t let you in, you probably won’t find them easily. However, rushing in now would make it difficult to rescue Brother Ye, so just wait and see for now."
Upon hearing Zhang Chongchen’s words, Gongsun Fengying looked resentful.
She finally realized that even though she was a martial arts prodigy, she was nothing against people with supernatural skills.
She felt a sense of defeat for no reason.
According to Zhang Chongchen, even if they found Ye Guichen, they probably couldn’t help.
"Then let’s wait here for now!"
Gongsun Fengying sat back in the car, feeling depressed.
anwhile, Ye Guichen looked at the empty alley with a playful smile on his lips: "Heh, with your limited skills, you still want to stop ?"
With that, Ye Guichen concentrated his mystical energy on his eyes and fiercely punched a wall beside him.
Bang!
As the wall collapsed, the scenery in front of him changed rapidly as if watching a movie.
Before long, the alley appeared unchanged, but two figures erged not far away.
They were none other than Yan Chou and Wu Yan.
Beyond those two, more than ten ters away, was a bald man.
The bald man was wielding a Hunyuan Iron Rod, seemingly hitting sothing, sweating profusely, but each swing was only hitting the air.
"With such skills, you still think you can trap ? Aren’t you overestimating yourselves?"
While speaking, Ye Guichen had already charged forward.
Yan Chou and Wu Yan’s expressions changed drastically.
They didn’t expect Ye Guichen to be unfazed by the illusion and had to do their utmost to respond.
Yan Chou swung his broadsword, slashing down towards Ye Guichen’s head again.
Wu Yan took a small sword from his sleeve and thrust it towards Ye Guichen, coordinating with Yan Chou.
Ye Guichen ignored them completely, not even dodging, drew the Golden Snake Dagger, and with a swing, once again severed Yan Chou’s broadsword.
The broadsword was left with only the hilt, frightening Yan Chou into repeatedly retreating.
Wu Yan’s Soft Sword was also cut.
However, Ye Guichen did not stop there. He maneuvered quickly to Wu Yan, swiftly slicing off both of his ears.
"Without ears, let’s see how you disguise yourself in the future!"
Amid screams, Wu Yan shrieked, "Don’t you care about the lives of Fan Zhidong and his son? They are in our hands. If you dare to kill us, they’ll die too!"
Yan Chou did not expect that, even the two of them together were no match for Ye Guichen, shouting, "That’s right, if you kill us, they’ll die too!"
Ye Guichen completely ignored them, the Golden Snake Dagger twirled swiftly, and in the blink of an eye, he severed the tendons of Yan Chou and Wu Yan’s arms.
He then put away the Golden Snake Dagger and grabbed their collars with both hands: "With you two as hostages, do you think I’m afraid that your people won’t release them?"
The two were in such pain that they grimaced and were completely intimidated by Ye Guichen’s thods, seeing the blood on their wrists.
"Lead the way!" Ye Guichen ordered shortly, without further ado.
At this mont, the bald man seed to have also regained his senses and quickly turned to look at Ye Guichen.
The next second, his bald head was filled with ecstatic joy: "Captain Ye!"
Hearing the man call out his na, Ye Guichen was also sowhat surprised, raising his head to look at the man’s face.
One glance and he couldn’t help being shocked.
The bald man was actually Luo Huasheng, the secular disciple he had t at the last martial arts competition.
However, judging by Luo Huasheng’s current appearance, it seems he has officially beco a Buddhist disciple.
"Luo Huasheng, what are you doing here?" Ye Guichen asked.
Luo Huasheng was overjoyed, quickly approaching Ye Guichen, glanced at Yan Chou and Wu Yan, and embarrassedly said, "Captain Ye, after the last martial arts competition, I officially joined the Buddhism. Recently I heard that there were so wicked people causing trouble in this area, so my master sent to investigate. Today I happened to be wandering around nearby and saw so shady people entering this alley, and unexpectedly got trapped inside."
While speaking, he glared angrily at Yan Chou and snorted hard: "It’s this guy, he’s emitting a sinister aura."
"Sinister aura?" Ye Guichen said oddly, "You can sll good and evil?"
Luo Huasheng scratched his bald head, shyly said, "Our Buddhism has a technique called the Great Imasurable Skill; anyway, whether it’s good or evil, I can pretty much tell. Besides, this guy has definitely practiced sorcery."
He grabbed Yan Chou’s collar and lifted him into the air: "Speak! Who are you!"
Yan Chou, with his hands crippled, was already pale and lost, he laughed involuntarily seeing Luo Huasheng acting foolishly, "Ha, who am I? I’m from the Witch God Sect. So what, baldy, dare you kill ? If you do, the Witch God Sect will tear you to pieces!"
"Witch God Sect?" Luo Huasheng frowned tightly, evidently having heard of the Witch God Sect.
Ye Guichen, however, wasn’t interested in wasting words with the two of them, he said, "Take to find Fan Zhidong and his son."
Wu Yan sneered, "Are you sure?"
"Cut the nonsense!" Ye Guichen grabbed Wu Yan’s shoulder, giving it a gentle squeeze that crushed it.
Wu Yan shrieked, turning even paler.
Ye Guichen threatened, "Did you set up a broken array here to trap and kill ? Heh, hurry up, otherwise I don’t mind killing you all one by one. I have no care for your damn Witch God Sect."
Wu Yan, seeing that Ye Guichen didn’t seem to be joking, exchanged glances with Yan Chou and slowly lowered his head.
"Go forward ten steps, then back seven steps, move forward three steps again, there’s a door on the right, push it open and you’ll be there," Wu Yan instructed.
Ye Guichen didn’t doubt much, followed Wu Yan’s directions, and the right side, originally a wall, suddenly mysteriously appeared as a door.
Ye Guichen was surprised.
It seems that they had set up complex layers of formations here; if it was just an illusion, it definitely wasn’t sothing that could be arranged in a short ti.
Luo Huasheng, although perplexed, followed with Yan Chou, was also amazed to see the door appear on the right side after following Wu Yan’s instructions.
He hurriedly caught up with Ye Guichen.
