When Hua Ruxue and Su Yi and their party returned along the same road, Lin Xi and the others had already returned to the meeting place.

"How's it going?" Su Yi asked Lin Xi and the others, watching the corners of Lin Xi's lips rise, there must be good news.

Lin Xi held a bloodstained wooden card and storage bag in both hands, and said, "Living up to the trust of the two captains, I found this in the corner at the end."

Su Yi took the identity card in Lin Xi's hand, and the two broken pieces were combined into one, forming the word "Chu Tang".

When Su Yi saw this name, he was stunned for a moment, Hua Ruxue noticed Su Yi's abnormality, and leaned over to check the wooden card.

I saw the word "Chu Tang" engraved on it.

Chu Tang. Hua Ruxue silently recited this name in her heart, and she couldn't help but be a little surprised in her heart, the fifth underworld master was called Chu Tang.

The two looked at each other, and then shook their heads, there are so many people with the same name and surname in the world, they must just happen to be the same.

The underworld has disappeared, and now the world does not allow people to become ghosts after death, how can the underworld reappear in the human world?

Su Yi opened the storage bag, which contained mountains of spirit stones and two medium-grade tenth-order magic weapons, as well as four ninth-rank array plates, more than ten eighth-rank array plates, and a number of Shujian exercises.

These are enough to prove Chu Tang's identity, which is the grandson of that senior. Ordinary people are extremely poor and can't have a nine-rank array plate in their lifetime, but there are nine in this storage bag.

"Are there any other traces of this wooden plaque other than this storage bag?" Hua Ruxue asked, Chu Tang was injured by a hundred-step snake, and there must have been a large amount of blood near the wooden card.

It is very difficult to make life cards and soul cards for the villagers in the situation of Yanmiao Village, and in recent years, only the villagers and the child have been here in the underground palace, so there may only be this wooden card.

The seniors only told them the information that the child's surname was Chu, and they must have recognized it, and there was only a wooden plaque surnamed Chu in the underground palace.

Coupled with the contents of the storage bag as evidence, Chu Tang's identity is not a problem.

But Hua Ruxue couldn't help but confirm with Lin Xi.

"There's a lot of blood near the wooden plaque." Lin Xi said, "If the captain is suspicious, why don't you look at the image left on the identity card?"

When Hua Ruxue heard this, she realized that she had just become so uncalm because of a name.

Su Yi pinched it and unfolded the image recorded on the identity card.

In the picture, the seventeen-year-old boy has his eyes closed tightly, his face is as pale as paper, his lips are black, and he is curled up in a corner in pain, and the bite marks left by the hundred-step snake on his calf are clearly visible.

The image remained in this way until it disappeared.

"This kid is only seventeen years old." Ning Shuyan clenched the umbrella in her hand, feeling a little sorry for this young man named Chu Tang, but after thinking about it, she said, "How innocent are those villagers in Yanmiao Village?"

"The villagers of Smoke Village?" Lin Feng and the others looked at each other, and Lin Feng asked puzzledly, "I just wanted to ask, who is Chu Tang?" I remember that we went into the village together, and then the village chief arranged for us to live. Why did we wake up and lie outside the village? The village is empty?"

Hua Ruxue took the wooden card and storage bag from Su Yi's hand, she stared at the two things in her hand and fell into deep thought, and didn't pay attention to Lin Feng's question, she only felt that her head was a little confused, as if she had missed some key news.

She lowered her eyes and began to think carefully about all the events that had happened in the Misty Village.

Su Yi seemed to feel her thoughts, and took the initiative to explain to Lin Feng and the others, "Yanmiao Village has now become a deserted village."

"Deserted village? What deserted village? And what about the villagers and the village chief we saw when we came?" Lin Feng asked.

"Let's talk as we go."

Su Yi briefly recounted what happened after they entered Yanmiao Village.

Hua Ruxue listened carefully, and then recounted the process of entering and exiting Yanmiao Village according to Su Yi's retelling.

As soon as everyone entered the Smoke Village, they entered the illusion of the Smoke Village woven by the Water Moon Mirror, and the time in the illusion stayed on the day of Chu Tang's death.

Immediately afterwards, she, Su Yi, and the snake vulture went to the village separately to inquire about the news, the snake vulture was imprisoned, and the seniors guided them through the mouth of the snake vulture

They went to find the truth about Chu Tang's death.

The three of them walked into the ancestral hall under the guidance of the village chief, and Lin Feng and the six of them were sent out of the Water Moon Mirror at the same time.

In the ancestral hall, they learned about the village chronicles of Yanmiao Village, and according to the records of the village chronicles, it can be determined that the time when the predecessors brought Chu Tang into the village was 80,000 years of the immortal calendar, that is, fourteen years ago.

Ten years later, when the seniors completed the dual formations of the Soul Separation Array and the Gathering Yin Array, the seniors and the village chief arranged for the enemy attack and imprisoned Yan Chenrui and the others in the Lingyin Underground Palace to give birth to the Lingyin Grass.

When the seniors ascended, they handed Chu Tang over to the care of the village chief. In the next few years, under the guidance of the village chief, villagers continued to discover the secrets of the Lingyin Underground Palace, and the villagers who knew the secrets eventually became the nourishment of the Lingyin grass.

It wasn't until a year ago that Yuyan discovered the secret of the Lingyin Underground Palace, and secretly plotted to bring Chu Tang and the Hundred Steps Snake into the Lingyin Underground Palace, causing Chu Tang to die of snake venom.

After Chu Tang's death, the seniors who had already ascended got the news and weaved an illusion with a water moon mirror, pulling the remaining people in Yanmiao Village into the illusion in order to find the truth about Chu Tang's death.

However, Yuyan left Yanmiao Village on the night of Chu Tang's death, so she, the real murderer, did not enter the illusion realm, causing the seniors to delay in finding the truth about Chu Tang's death.

"Do seniors really want to know the truth about Chu Tang's death?" Hua Ruxue asked suddenly.

The sound of flowers like snow echoed in the dungeon, Su Yi shook his head, the senior's approach was different, and he couldn't be sure what the senior's true thoughts were.

"Why do you ask? From the very beginning, that senior used Ah Jiu to guide us to find the truth about Chu Tang's death. If the seniors didn't care about Chu Tang, they wouldn't have refined the Immortal Pill for him and left behind many treasures, let alone harmed so many people by creating illusions through their divine sense after ascending. It's terrible that the seniors cared about it." Ning Shuyan said.

It was really terrible, he had harmed so many people for his own selfishness, and in the end, he failed to save Chu Tang's life.

Hua Ruxue looked at the nine people behind her, judging from their age and experience, Feng Helan and Lin Xi were none other than the group.

She asked the two, "Brother Feng, Brother Lin Xi, you two are well-informed, do you think something is wrong?"

Feng Helan didn't seem to expect that she would be asked, so she was stunned for a moment, and then said:

"If that senior doesn't want to mention Chu Tang's name, it will only increase sadness, but it will also be said in the past. It's just that the senior used Miss Ning's contract beast as a hostage, which seems to be a little unreasonable."

Originally, Hua Ruxue had been thinking about finding the truth about the child's death, and she didn't care about it after picking the Lingyin grass.

But now that I think about it, it's really wrong.

If the village chief wants the snake vulture to stay because he is afraid that he will die once the illusion of the misty village is destroyed, what about the seniors?

The divine consciousness of the predecessors is attached to the Water Moon Mirror, and an illusion created by the Water Moon Mirror is destroyed when it is destroyed, he has already killed the village chief once, will he care about killing the second time?

But the seniors left an insignificant snake vulture as a snake, and the relationship between the demon clan and people was in dire straits, so the seniors were so sure that they would not leave the snake vulture?

Even if he left any person, it was more than a snake vulture and a demon clan, which made her believe that he cared about Chu Tang even more.

"That senior killed all the villagers of Yanmiao Village, will he really let us go?" Lin Xi thought for a moment and asked softly.

Yes, the seniors killed so many people, why would they let them go?

Before she learned the true face of her predecessors who had slaughtered the entire Yanmiao Village, she had naively thought that even if she didn't find the truth about Chu Tang's death, she could get out as long as she tried her best.

No, no, Hua Ruxue suddenly realized the problem, even after she knew the true face of her seniors, she still believed in her heart that "the seniors would let them go".

The reason why she has this realization is because her predecessors left only snake vultures in the illusion!

She would even take it as a mercy for her predecessors to leave the snake vulture!

Hua Ruxue clenched the wooden card in her hand, she was careless before, and she had to come up with a way to deal with it as soon as possible.

"Do you want to fight?" Ning Shuyan reached out and grabbed the saber at her waist, her eyes were firm, "Even if I can't beat it, I have to ask that senior, have you ever regretted it?"

Lin Feng silently moved away from Ning Shuyan, and approached Hua Ruxue in fear, "It's just that we want to fight, we haven't seen that senior with our own eyes, but it is also the divine consciousness left by the ascended immortal, and there is the Water Moon Mirror, if we are all trapped in the illusion by him, won't we become lambs to be slaughtered?"

Haven't seen your predecessors in person? Trapped in a fantasy? A lamb to the slaughter?

Lin Feng's voice was like an alarm bell, echoing in Hua Ruxue's mind. She stared at the marker on the stone wall, then followed the marker's prompts, and silently turned and walked to the next passage.

At this moment, Su Yi suddenly turned to look at Feng Helan and the others who were standing behind him, and seemed to realize that something was wrong.

The two remained silent, pretending to be casual and continuing to follow the marker.

Hua Ruxue raised her hand gently, and Su Yi tacitly handed over her wrist.

"We've just walked this road." The flowers were like snowy roads, and she kept her eyes on the markings when she came, so she didn't remember the way until she saw the repeated markings, and she realized that she was lost.

"I remember all the marks here, no new additions, just repetitions."

"At the speed of coming, we have reached the fourth level at this time, and if no one changes the mark, the road to the fourth level is gone, and this is an illusion." Su Yi felt her worry and self-blame, and comforted, "Let's figure out a way together."

When exactly did danger below them? She hadn't noticed anything unusual before.

Hua Ruxue once again recalled what happened in the Water Moon Mirror, and this time she found out what the problem was, "Since Lin Feng and the six people were sent out of the Water Moon Mirror, everything has been developing in the wrong direction."

In the ancestral hall, she didn't realize that the three of them were in the illusion of the Water Moon Mirror, so she tricked the village chief that she and Ning Shuyan were the apprentices of that senior, and they also passed through the Mystery Array.

Knowing that the Mystery Array had not yet been opened, and knowing that she and Ning Shuyan were not senior apprentices, the village chief also proposed a way to identify their identities - taking out the Soul Separation Array and the Yin Gathering Array.

It's like knowing their intentions in advance and deliberately guiding them.

When she learned of the existence of these two formations, her first reaction was that there was Lingyin Grass here! At that moment, she got the news she wanted, and her emotions were in a state of extreme excitement.

Immediately afterward, she made a judgment based on the situation at the time.

Because she didn't perceive the aura of the village chief, and the village chief easily dodged Ning Shuyan's attack, judging from these two points, the village chief is very powerful, and if she faces it head-on, she may not be an opponent.

Then, from a series of mismatched performances of the village chief, it was judged that the village chief was given some kind of ban, and it was judged that someone could easily kill him.

When she asked the village chief, "What year, month, and day is it?" The village chief's stiffness, as if he would be killed in the next second, made her even more convinced that the senior could easily erase the village chief.

Based on these three judgments, she didn't want to deal with the village chief and the senior from the bottom of her heart.

Those two people have subtly become existences that can absolutely overwhelm her, and they have become existences that she subconsciously does not want to be regarded as hostile.

So much so that when she learned that the senior had left only the snake vulture, she mistakenly thought that it was a good disappearance, a message that could be reconciled.

She even just wanted to hurry up and finish the things that the senior had explained, and then finish taking the Lingyin Grass and leaving Yanmiao Village.

She didn't even notice that the real crisis was around her.

"From the time the village chief said about the Soul Separation Array and the Yin Gathering Array, that senior had already relied on the phantom conjured by the Water Moon Mirror to disguise himself as one of the six people." Su Yi said slowly, and he gradually understood what had happened.

From the moment Lin Feng and the six people were sent out of the illusion realm, that senior began to lay out.

First, he used the Soul Separation Array and the Yin Gathering Array as a guide to tell the three of them that they had the Spirit Yin Grass they wanted. In order to get the news related to the Lingyin Grass, they will definitely cheer up their spirits and help that senior.

And then the seniors left the snake vultures just to create a false impression for them, even if they left, the seniors would not harm them.

In this way, they

In a relatively relaxed and harmonious atmosphere, you will complete the things assigned by your predecessors as quickly as possible.

That senior was reluctant to tell them Chu Tang's name, maybe there was Feng Helan who didn't want to mention the sad things, but the most fundamental reason was that there was no need to tell them. Z.br>

The seniors themselves are among them!

The divine consciousness of the predecessors relied on the water moon mirror to disguise as one of the six, and when the six people found the ancestral hall, it was already completely dark, and night was the best disguise.

Hua Ruxue turned around, and her sharp gaze quickly swept over Lin Feng, Feng Helan, Lin Xi, He Yuan, Lin Tian, and Huang San.

Among the six people, she was most familiar with Lin Feng, Feng Helan and Lin Xi, and now she could only be sure that there was no problem with the three of them.

However, she soon locked on her target.

Hua Ruxue said: "After all, the predecessors only have one divine consciousness in the human world, even if it is realistically transformed by the Water Moon Mirror, it is only a phantom."

"Now that we are in the illusion of the Water Moon Mirror, if we want to successfully escape, we need to find something that overlaps with reality." Su Yi raised the night pearl in his hand and illuminated the surroundings brighter.

It is worthy of the illusion made of the water moon mirror, that is, a shadow and the dust mixed in the wind are so realistic.

Ning Shuyan, who had been holding the umbrella on the other side, suddenly moved the umbrella in her hand slightly, she looked up at the top of her head, and said with a little joy, "Great, there are no things falling on the top of your head!" Finally, I don't have to use an umbrella anymore."

Lin Feng, who had been following behind Hua Ruxue, looked around carefully and whispered, "Do you think that we have been on the fifth floor for a long time?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone stopped in place.

In the dark spiritual yin underground palace, there was silence, and the faint light emitted by the night pearl stretched everyone's shadows.

In the shadow-covered area, black shadows tore through the ground and slowly crawled out like demons from hell.
