I followed the stairs to the fourth floor. The whole corridor was pitch black and there was no trace of the stars at all. "Stars, stars." I whispered a few words, but received no response.

To be honest, what happened just now made me feel inexplicably afraid of this place. But even so, I still gritted the bullet and checked every room, especially when it came to the 12th door, I was really careful, for fear of encountering the situation just now. Fortunately, no strange phenomena occurred, but I didn't find the stars either. "I clearly looked at the fourth floor." I muttered to myself, "How come there was no trace left."

I didn't give up, and I re-checked every corner along the corridor, fearing that I had missed any important clues just now. When I walked to the 7th room, I found that there were many white footprints scattered on the ground. Judging from the size and shape of these footprints, they should belong to the same person, and the toes of these footprints are facing the inside, which means that the person is always spinning around in the same place.

I walked forward two more rooms, and suddenly my feet slipped, and it felt like I had kicked something. At the same time, a crisp metal sound rang out in the corridor. I used a flashlight to light it, and it turned out to be a red diamond metal object. This thing looks so familiar, a bit like a compass. Compass? No, isn't this thing the pointer on the Star Compass? Thinking of this, I quickly searched around, and found a broken compass not far away. White footprints and broken compass. Could it be that Xingchen... No, and Li Yu, I accelerated my pace and rushed to the second floor.

As soon as I arrived at the second floor, I smelled a strong smell of blood. "Li Yu, Xingchen, where are you?" At this time, I had lost my calmness. I ran and shouted their names loudly. But except for a pool of blood in the middle of the corridor, there were no other traces. Calm, calm, be sure to be calm. They are all people who have experienced many battles. How could they be broken here? I must have missed some clues. I kept reminding myself, but it didn't work at all. Fear, worry, regret occupied my body at once.

"Woooo~" At this moment, the resentful and miserable voice sounded again, "You not only killed my child, but also killed your own friends. You are a bad person, you are a bad person."

"I'm not, I'm not, it's you who killed them, it's you!" I was like crazy, and kept sacrificing the Five Thunder Spells and thunder in my palms around. The whole house was filled with dull thunder. After venting, I collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, and tears dripped down my cheeks like broken beads.

"Hehehehe. You are destined to be against the lonely star of Tiansha. You are destined to live without a companion and be lonely for a lifetime. Why not just follow me now so as not to harm others again." Suddenly, a black figure appeared in the corridor.

"Who are you?" I stood up with a tremor. "Where are Xingchen and Li Yu now?"

"They are waiting for you in the underworld." Before he finished speaking, a withered hand grabbed my "Tianling Cave".

I was unexpectedly surprised by the opponent's speed. I quickly dodged to the side and avoided the grab. At the same time, I reached into my backpack, but after touching it for a long time, I had nothing. It was broken. On a whim, I used up all the talismans.

Seeing that I hadn't taken out anything for a long time, the black shadow guessed the truth. After a strange laugh, he jumped over. He grabbed one, two, three... In an instant, the black shadow covered my whole body like a python, covering my entire body under his attack. He heard a "tearing" sound, and he grabbed my right arm, and five bloody wounds suddenly appeared.

"What a delicious blood, I haven't tasted it for a long time." Black shadow licked the blood on his hands and said.

"Damn it." I covered my wounds and thought secretly, "It seems that I have encountered a tough guy. The hero is not suffering from the loss." Thinking of this, I jumped and hit the "Xinyu point" in the other party's chest. When the black shadow saw that I still dared to go forward, I smiled and raised my fist to hit my palm. My move was just a feint, and with the force of his attack, my body rushed back a few meters and turned to run towards the stairwell. Strangely, the black shadow did not chase after me. Just when I was glad that I escaped, I suddenly felt something was caught under my feet. I looked down and saw that there were many vines on the ground in the corridor at some point, and my feet were entangled with these vines.

"Hehe..., see where you escape?" As he spoke, the black shadow had already come to me. "What a good tonic. After eating the souls of you practitioners, I can live for a few more years."

"Who are you?"

"It's okay to tell you, I'm the one who once wanted to take your soul."

"Is it your sister who kidnapped Li Yu?"

"That's right, but these are nothing more important. Death!" The black shadow grabbed my "Tianling Cave" again.

It seems that I really have to explain it here this time, but unfortunately I have not fulfilled my long-cherished wish and found my biological parents. I closed my eyes and waited for the moment when death came. At this moment, I felt some abnormal movements appearing on my "Tianling Acupoint", as if a powerful force gushed out. At the same time, I heard the black shadow making a miserable scream.

I opened my eyes and saw the black shadow holding his right hand and wailing constantly.

"I didn't expect that you, you actually have..." The black shadow stared at me in horror, "It seems that your life should not be lost." After saying that, he disappeared like a ghost. The corridor returned to peace, as if nothing had happened.

"Yifan, Yifan, wake up, wake up."

It was the voice of Xingchen and Li Yu. Where were they? I sat up in a panic and saw Xingchen and Li Yu sitting around me.

"Are you okay?" I asked hurriedly.

"We're fine, it's you. Do you know that you didn't breathe just now, but we were scared to death." Li Yu said nervously.

"What the hell happened?" I looked at them both with a blank look on my face.

"I'll explain it." Xingchen said, "After the three of us separated, Li Yu and I searched every corner of the second and fourth floors, and did not find any sign of Li Yu's sister. Just when I was wondering if my judgment was wrong, I suddenly heard you calling me and Li Yu's name. I thought you had discovered something, so I ran down to meet you immediately. I happened to meet Li Yu at the entrance of the stairs, and he also heard your shouts. But when we arrived at the third floor, we found that you were lying in the corridor, with your lips dry and your eyes closed, and it seemed that you were still muttering something in your mouth, but the sound was too small, and neither of us could hear it clearly. Later, your breathing became weaker and weaker, and even stopped breathing for a while. Yifan, what happened just now?"

After listening to Xingchen's words, I didn't recover for a long time. Such a thing happened. Am I in the illusion from beginning to end?

"Yifan, Yifan, what happened just now?" Xingchen was stunned when he thought something was wrong with me, so he asked anxiously.

I told them about my experience just now. Xingchen and Li Yu were even more surprised to speak after hearing this.

"Since so many accidents have happened, we should withdraw first and talk about it after we have figured out the whole story." Xingchen suggested.

Li Yu and I looked at each other, then nodded.

At 5 o'clock in the morning, we returned to Li Yu's home. All three of us were exhausted physically and mentally, and my heart rate was even more fragile. However, we had no time to rest. After some trouble last night, we might have been alarmed. Therefore, we had to re-examine the entire process of action, hoping to get some inspiration from it. So we repeated our experiences again, especially me, each detail was explained very carefully, for fear of missing some key links.

Although it was three people discussing, they actually rely mainly on Xingchen. After all, Li Yu and I have far less knowledge than him. Xingchen repeatedly pondered the actions of last night in his mind, especially the strange things I encountered.

"If what we expected was good, we were trapped in each other's trap from the beginning."

"Snare? What trap?" I asked in confusion.

"Actually, Li Yu's sister is in that office building, but we didn't find it."

"It's impossible. Haven't we carefully checked every room in that building? We didn't even see my sister's shadow." Li Yu also didn't understand Xingchen's statement very well.

"Yes, I really didn't see your sister." Xingchen glanced at us and said seriously, "That's because we entered a illusion when we entered the office building. In other words, everything we saw was fake."

"Illusion? What do you mean is that we are all covered by 'ghosts'?" I asked.

"No. If it is a 'ghost covering', Li Yu will ignore it for now. How could you and my cultivation level not be able to see it? What I mean is that someone has set up a powerful formation in that building."

"What formation?" Li Yu and I asked at the same time.

"Seven Emotions Soul Sneak Formation!"

"Seven Emotions Soul Sneak Array?" We both looked at the stars in confusion.

"This seven-emotion soul-sneering array is a formation passed down from ancient times." Xingchen explained, "All ordinary people have seven emotions: joy, anger, sorrow, joy, sorrow, fear, shock, and seven emotions. However, each person shows different aspects, and this formation takes advantage of our psychological and emotional weaknesses. However, this formation is very insidious. Before setting up the formation, you need to absorb the souls of people who are easy to be happy, good at anger, more sorrow, joy, love and sorrow, fear, and often startled. In the eight trigrams, the souls of people who are often shocked.

The position is placed in the formation, leaving only the Shengmen, and the person who set up the formation is stationed by the person who set up the formation. Once someone breaks into the formation, the person who set up the formation can use these seven emotions to repeatedly test until he finds out the psychological defense line of the person who enters the formation. Once the flaw is found, he will use illusions to confuse the person who enters the formation. Once the person who enters the formation is trapped in the illusion, he will be unable to control his body and will be able to finally be able to capture his soul by the person who set up the formation. Everything Yifan said just now is the manifestation of entering the Seven Emotions Soul Sneak Array."

"Is there a way to break the formation?" I asked hurriedly.
