The Xiaoyao Array left by the Thousand Illusion True Person.

"Good, then what we should refer to is not the Yongquan Array, but the Xiaoyao Array!" The two arrays on the ground returned to thirty-six numbers, and Bai Ziqi added a tree seed to the Xiaoyao Array again, "It should be—at this position!"

"..." What kind of twists and turns is this? Everyone felt their brains buzzing with pain.

It's too torturous. To break the array set by He Xiao, you actually have to jump out of the array itself and find the hidden answer in the ancient array of the Thousand Illusion True Person! This question is out of bounds, only Bai Envoy can solve it.

The attendant had doubts: "Envoy, could the Gathering Spirit Great Array on White Hair Mountain also be a bait set by He Xiao?"

"That's impossible, how old is he?" Speaking of this, Bai Ziqi suddenly stopped.

Yes, He Xiao looks like he is in his early twenties, with clear and energetic eyes, not like someone who is old. However, what if his mental experience and ability are indeed inconsistent with his appearance?

There have been so many secret methods in the world, such as some ancient immortals who used the technique of "seizing the house"; there are also monsters in the present world whose faces remain young, isn't Qingyang a living example? Causing chaos in the Heavenly Palace, building his own power and promoting it to most of the Glittering Gold Plain, turning into the Great Emperor of the Nine Netherworlds, pushing the internal chaos of the Yao nation—

Being able to accomplish one of these things is a great talent, and you can brag about it for a lifetime.

What if all these things were done by one person?

Even if He Xiao relied on the Lingshan behind him to accomplish these things, describing him as stunningly talented is not enough.

Such great ability and great luck are truly not inferior to the founding ancestor of the Mou nation.

Is he an old monster who has practiced for thousands of years, wearing a young man's face? Thinking this way, it seems to make sense.

Bai Ziqi temporarily drove away these distracting thoughts and focused on the present.

Following the clues next, it would be much simpler.

According to the position deduced by Bai Ziqi, everyone set off from the Apricot Forest Terrace, walked forty steps to the east, and found an abandoned stable behind the dense forest.

I don't know which owner of the Yongquan Shanzhuang left this, and He Xiao didn't go to renovate it, just left it alone.

He is the villa owner. If he doesn't order demolition, others won't move it. The Yongquan Shanzhuang is too big and has been built for a long time, and there are countless abandoned buildings. It is a waste of time to dismantle them one by one.

This stable covers an area about the size of three or four small huts, and its dilapidated feeling almost blends into the surrounding scenery.

Is it the "one" that disappeared in the Yongquan Array? "It should be here." Bai Ziqi led everyone to turn around the perimeter, and just as he was about to walk into the stable, his footsteps suddenly stopped. He made a gesture to Bai Seventeen, his voice extremely low: "Trapping Red Array."

He wanted to see how He Xiao planned to pit him.

Bai Seventeen understood, his face stern, and called four or five White Guards, stuffing a copper rune into each of their hands, and gave two sentences of instructions in a low voice.

The White Guards dispersed to various places around the stable.

Only then did Bai Ziqi walk into the stable, seeing only messy debris inside, such as rusty pitchforks, fragments of various shapes of wood, and several broken coarse pottery jars in the corner.

Of course, there was also a blue stone trough for drinking horses.

Someone came, and two mice crawled out from under the trough, squeaking and scolding while fleeing.

Bai Ziqi looked around: "Hidden in the dense forest, there are actually no weeds on the ground?"

With his mention, everyone's eyes fell to the ground, and they immediately saw something wrong:

The stable was almost blocked by the surrounding trees, and it couldn't get much sunlight during the day, so why didn't grass grow or mushrooms grow on the ground?

Bai Ziqi's eyes soon fell on the blue stone trough: "Move it away."

In an abandoned stable, normal people wouldn't have the idea of moving the horse trough.

Everyone went to move it, but this thing was heavy and firmly refused to leave the ground.

Two of Bai Ziqi's guards had amazing strength and pushed it hard at the same time—

With two muffled sounds, as if there was the sound of mechanical pressing, the horse trough slid away, and a large hole appeared on the ground! The other two were caught off guard and fell directly.

Thump, thump, both fell to the ground.

Listening to the sound, the hole is not deep.

The two took out fluorescent spores at the bottom of the hole to light it up. Bai Ziqi looked down, the hole was only eight or nine feet deep, but it was very wide! The voices of the two came from below, and they explored while reporting: "Envoy, this cavity might be naturally formed, and later widened and reinforced!"

Bai Ziqi observed the mechanism behind the stone trough in the stable: "The stone tracks are covered with moss, this secret room has existed for a long time, not dug by He Xiao. Hmm, it might be one of the previous owners of this villa."

The two guards on the side of the rock wall continued: "There are some materials placed by the rock wall, they have long been moldy and rotten, there is a foul smell... so smelly. Oh, there is a tunnel here! The second half seems to be newly dug, ah! —"

The two suddenly screamed.

Bai Ziqi thought they were in danger and was planning to send more people to support, but the two immediately screamed:

"So big, such a big fish!"

"No, no, such a big fish head!"

The fluorescent spores in their hands happened to shake and see a huge dead fish eye!

This eye reflected the fluorescent light and stared at them fixedly!

The two were scared and pulled out their swords, and then found that there was a dead fish lying on the ground in front of them.

No, it was actually half a fish, because the fish body only had the small front half, which was also the most frightening front half.

But just this half, it almost blocked the tunnel.

"Fish?" Bai Ziqi's heart moved, could it be?

"What color, what appearance?"

"Dark red, with spots. The mouth is so big, it can fit several people!" The guard said while covering his nose, because the tunnel was filled with the stench of fish corpse.

"It's Cao Wendao's demon puppet." This appearance is consistent with the missing fish corpse by Peach Creek. Bai Ziqi murmured, "He specifically dragged Cao Wendao's demon puppet under the stable?"

Now everyone knows that "he" refers to He Xiao.

This person is deep in his calculations, what is the purpose of hiding the fish corpse? At this time, the strong fishy stench also overflowed from the tunnel entrance, spreading from the stable to the outside.

The guard in the secret passage added: "This fish corpse, vomit, the second half of the fish corpse is gone, only a big fish head and a small front body!"

Bai Ziqi jumped into the hole, wanting to observe with his own eyes.

When he broke the array and deduced the location of the Thousand Illusion True Person's cave, he was indeed overjoyed; but after being blown by the night wind, he calmed down and felt a little unhappy.

He thought he had perfectly cracked He Xiao's array, but in fact, that was just a ring left by others intentionally.

Just tonight in the Yongquan Shanzhuang, He Xiao and he had a remote confrontation!

Bai Ziqi didn't feel he won, only that he didn't lose.
