Yu Ci corrected his statement and said to Lu Ya, "Let's visit from the main entrance."

While speaking, he took the female cultivator around half of the courtyard from the side and walked all the way to the main entrance.

There is also no courtyard wall here, only a circle of fences that are half a person tall. They are weaved through green and yellow branches, leaves and vines, which look quite wild, while the outer door is open.

No light source was seen here, but there was inexplicably abundant light, as if the sky was hanging down, which was in sharp contrast with the turbid fog surging outside the courtyard.

In fact, with the height of the fence, Yu Ci could fully see the layout of the courtyard inside. The front yard was a very neat and elegant three thatched cottage.

Each house is built with grass and branches. Some flowers and trees are planted in the yard. At first glance, it looks neat, but after a few more glances, a clear and elegant atmosphere comes to your face, like a place where a mountain and a wild scholar lives, making people feel a little more anticipated by the taste of the owner of the courtyard.

But now things have changed.

Yu Ci and Lu Ya entered the courtyard one after another. Fortunately, Lu Ya, who had already realized it, shook her mind in front of this familiar scenery and actually spoke:

"Madam, she should have left..."

“So what?”

"I……"

In fact, Lu Ya herself didn't know what she wanted to say, so she opened her mouth, but in the end she was silent. At this moment, Yu Ci signaled her to look forward, and Lu Ya's eyes raised, and she was suffocated.

From here, look at the direction of the main hall. The door is also open, and this book is nothing, but at this moment, there is a dry palm holding the door frame. With a little force, a figure appears. However, most of them are hidden in the shadows in the hall, with only eyes, and two clusters of light illuminated.

Lu Ya's heart twitched suddenly, and the strange aura coming from the opposite side gathered with her already unstable mentality, violently bombarding her heart and making her mind lose her mind. In a while, the shadows in the corner of her eyes shook and Jiuyan rushed over silently.

At this moment, she saw the monk, who had always been famous for refining spices, a layer of gray fog bloomed outside her body, and a blood-red aperture under her feet, flipped and sucked. It was from there that two equally blood-red lightnings exploded.

Then she saw that the palm of the hand that was holding on the door frame was separated, as if the owner of the hand fell backwards, surprisingly without any sound or any shock, like an unreal nightmare.

Jiuyan did not move anymore, and he stopped at the door, his eyes casting towards the shadow behind the door.

Looking at his back, Lu Ya was stunned for a while, and finally felt her mood slightly calmer. She gritted her teeth and mustered up the courage to move forward.

It just so happened that Jiuyan also asked her to come up: "Do you recognize these two people?"

Lu Ya went to Jiuyan and looked into the hall.

It turned out that there were more than one figure in the hall, and there were only two corpses, both in skirts and buns, lying horizontally on the ground. At first, she thought it was caused by Yu Ci's killer, but soon she realized that she was paying attention to the exposed skin of the two corpses. Sure enough, she saw that there was already dry, covered with bones, and there was no luster of life. It should be a mummy formed by a special situation.

"I've been dead for at least a few months... I'm still able to move because of this!"

Hearing Jiuyan's gesture, Lu Ya looked down and saw a shadow inexplicably between the shadows under the two of them. The shape was curling like smoke. When she looked back, she saw nothing corresponding. Obviously, this was not a reflection, but something strange.

However, this thing was being held in a bloody turbid flow under Yu Ci's feet and struggled to get out.

Lu Ya was guessing what method this was, but he heard the one whisper: "Shadow Puppet..."

Lu Ya was excited: "Liu Guan!"

"It looks right. Please confirm the identities of these two people."

This was Jiuyan's second order. Lu Ya didn't want to listen to it again for the third time. She squatted down and turned over a prone mummy. She looked at its dry and deformed face for a long time. After a few breaths, she had already recovered her identities through the skull and facial muscles:

"It is the wife's sweeping maid, and it is also the monitor..."

"Yeah?"

Just looking at the outfits of the two, Yu Ci knew with her knees that this would never be Mrs. Huang Quan, but Liu Guan's arrival still surprised people.

The shadows like smoke on the ground are indeed the breath of Liu Guan.

Calculate the time. Perhaps when Lu Chen was besieged by the six earthly immortals, he found this place and killed two maids, but obviously nothing was found, otherwise he would not have left behind a shadow puppet - Yu Ci had seen this thing when he was in the Cliff City. At that time, he was not sure what it was, and it was later that the truth was slowly spliced ​​out.

Although the images are different and the effects are different, at least the shadow puppet was never attached to the dead body back then. Yu Ci took the initiative to block its information transmission with the three-way energy, so as not to expose his own situation. The shadow puppet seemed to have no such function, but he must always be careful.

When Lu Ya identified the identities of two mummies, Yu Ci was also observing the situation in the hall. Although it was several months apart, how good is Liu Guan’s cultivation? Without deliberately concealing it, all the traces he left in the courtyard can be found by searching carefully.

Yu Ci could feel that in the front yard, Liu Guan's breath was almost gone, and in the foyer, there was a sudden explosion in the growth.

Perhaps, when he first stepped into the courtyard, Liu Guan was very cautious, but later he discovered something and suddenly exerted force, and his movement trajectory...

Yu Ci slowly walked into the main hall, swept the furnishings in the hall, and did not stop for too long, so she continued to go in. The remaining traces of Liu Guan's breath were almost a straight line, heading straight from the hall, then passing through the corridor and reaching the middle of the courtyard.

It should be the owner's residence.

Yu Ci signaled Lu Ya to follow and go in step by step. Although Liu Guan's breath remains clear, you can feel that it is relatively stable during this period, and there is no sign of fighting with powerful enemies. In addition to killing two maids who are sweeping and surveillance, they should be following them all the way.

How big is the courtyard?

The whole process should have lasted for less than a breath, and the object Liu Guan was following should not be blocked here. As for whether to escape completely or be forced into the Nether Lake to fight to the death, Yu Ci could not know.

The only thing Yu Ci can confirm is that Liu Guan should have rushed all the way and never looked back.

His mind moved slightly, and the power of the Blood Prison Thunder Pool immediately crushed the remains of the Shadow Puppet, and no information would be leaked out. Of course, whether the Shadow Puppet and Liu Guan had some kind of solid connection, and whether they would react because of the sudden isolation of the contact was not something he could control.

Anyway, his time has become precious now.
