Before she could finish, she hung up the phone. Zhang Fei hurriedly dialed Guan Yu’s number, but no one answered.

In front of Fengming Temple, Cao Cao, Lin Yu, and Zhang Fei’s group of four looked at this temple that exuded strangeness.

"This Fengming Temple gives people an indescribable sense of weirdness," Zhao Yun said.

"What weirdness, it doesn't matter." Zhang Fei, anxious to save people, said as he walked into the temple. Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, and Huang Zhong followed closely behind. Lin Yu and Cao Cao chose not to go in.

Cao Cao asked Lin Yu: "What is the weirdness that Brother Liu spoke of?"

Seeing Lin Yu deep in thought, Cao Cao added: "This concerns the safety of our brothers."

Lin Yu explained simply: "Simply put, this is a high-level illusion. People who enter will fall into hallucinations and lose self-control."

"Is there a way to break it?" Cao Cao asked urgently.

"It can be broken, but the risk is not small." Lin Yu thought to himself, but said: "I don't have full confidence."

"I’ll go in and take a look; you wait outside." After Lin Yu finished speaking, he walked straight toward Fengming Temple.

Inside the temple, Ma Chao, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, and Zhao Yun lost their sense of direction as soon as they entered. Ma Chao, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun immediately fell into hallucinations, leaving only Huang Zhong, who maintained his state due to his large lung capacity and slow breathing rhythm. He anxiously searched for the three missing people.

As soon as Lin Yu stepped in, he was discovered by a sentry, who shouted:

"Someone else has broken in, and they aren't affected!"

Others gathered upon hearing the sound. Looking at the clothes they were wearing, they were the security team of Hedong High School. This place was actually a secret stronghold of Hedong High School, specifically set up to deal with difficult targets.

As soon as Lin Yu entered the temple, he felt a force sneak into his body with his breath, rushing straight to his brain.

Lin Yu let it be, observing the effects. Immediately, a sea of flowers appeared before his eyes, empty of people. The sea of flowers swayed gently with the wind, light red smoke filled the air, and the fragrance was intoxicating but made people confused.

Lin Yu realized that this smoke could erode the mind, causing people to lose themselves over time and become puppets.

Lin Yu frowned slightly, and with a slight exertion of his cultivation, he dispelled the invading force. His vision returned to the scene inside the temple. With every breath, the force attacked again. Lin Yu used the Great Breath-Holding Technique, preventing the external force from affecting him.

Lin Yu searched the temple and just as he reached the stairs, he met Huang Zhong coming down from above.

"Huang Zhong, just you? Where are my Third Brother and the others?" Lin Yu asked.

"I was just looking for them. The air here is not right. Because I breathe slowly, I wasn't affected. Zhang Fei and the others were not right as soon as they came in, and they got separated from me." Seeing Lin Yu, Huang Zhong hurriedly informed him of the situation.

"Good, let’s look for them together. Staying here too long is bad for the body," Lin Yu said.

"Kill!"

Several people from Hedong High School attacked with weapons. Huang Zhong quickly used his Heaven-Driving Bow to counterattack. Although he avoided the illusion, his breathing accelerated after taking action, and after knocking down three people, he himself was swaying.

Huang Zhong shook his head hard, trying to stay awake. Two security guards saw this and pointed their blades directly at Huang Zhong’s head. Lin Yu flicked two rays of white light from his fingers, knocking the two back, and immediately arrived in front of Huang Zhong.

"Use your Turtle Breathing Method, don't make any big movements, leave it to me."

Huang Zhong nodded and did as told. After the dizzy feeling subsided, he and Lin Yu searched for Zhang Fei and the others. After searching the second floor to no avail, they turned to the third floor.

"Oh no."

Lin Yu rushed to Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, and Zhao Yun. Huang Zhong also found them wandering unconsciously on the fourth-floor rooftop; one more step and they would fall off. Huang Zhong followed closely behind.

Just as the three were about to fall, Lin Yu grabbed Zhao Yun and shouted.

"Hold your breath!"

Zhao Yun stopped breathing immediately upon hearing this, thus breaking free from the illusion. Huang Zhong reached out and grabbed Ma Chao, letting him hold his breath, and Ma Chao also woke up.

"Zhang Fei!"

The four shouted, but Zhang Fei, who was ignored, disappeared from their field of vision, causing them to scream in alarm.

They saw Zhang Fei walk to the edge, but instead of moving forward, he squatted down to tie his shoelaces, then turned around and returned leisurely. Everyone was confused about whether he was really under an illusion.

Zhang Fei turned to the right side of the rooftop, and Ma Chao chased after him, shaking Zhang Fei’s shoulders.

"Old Zhang, hold your breath quickly!"

Zhang Fei seemed not to hear and continued to move forward. Ma Chao forcibly pulled Zhang Fei back and shouted repeatedly, but Zhang Fei remained indifferent. Finally, Ma Chao pinched Zhang Fei’s nose and mouth, and Zhang Fei finally woke up.

[341] Dong Zhuo attacked, framing Cao Cao and Lin Yu.

"What are you doing!" Zhang Fei roared.

"Hold your breath, the air here causes hallucinations," Ma Chao said.

After holding his breath, Zhang Fei said.

"Really hateful, always playing this trick."

"Everyone don't get separated, take turns holding your breath,"

Lin Yu suggested, "Let’s hurry and find the Second Brother."

The five were looking for Guan Yu on the fourth floor and saw the unconscious Guan Yu by the stairs leading to the sixth floor.

"Second Brother!"

Seeing Guan Yu, Zhang Fei rushed over and helped him up to check his condition.

"Kill!"

A large number of Hedong security guards came down from the sixth floor, and others from the fifth floor also swarmed over, surrounding Zhang Fei, the others, and Lin Yu.

Zhang Fei was supporting the unconscious Guan Yu, while Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, and Huang Zhong all took out their weapons, looking at the surrounding enemies with heavy expressions.

"Alright, you four just focus on protecting Guan Yu. You can't display your strength here, leave it to me to handle," Lin Yu instructed the Five Tiger Generals.

The guards here were all small fries with little combat power, or combat power barely reaching a few thousand points. Lin Yu was too lazy to deal with them one by one.

"Mind Control Technique, freeze!" Lin Yu pointed his finger, and the enemies in front froze like statues. Then he turned and pointed again, and the people behind were also fixed, signaling the Five Tiger Generals to take Guan Yu and leave.

The Five Tiger Generals stared blankly at the Hedong High School security team, who were like stone statues, their eyes turning to Lin Yu.

"Go, I didn't take action against you, did I?" Lin Yu said.

"Big Brother, this move is too cool, can you teach your little brother?" Zhang Fei said greedily.

The others also looked at Lin Yu with anticipation.

"Want to learn? Your combat power is so low, even if you learned it, you wouldn't be able to use it, it would be a waste."

Lin Yu’s words made it impossible for everyone to hide their disappointment.

"Wait until the day your combat power breaks through 24,000, then I will think about whether to teach you," Lin Yu added.

"Really? Then I will cultivate desperately when I go back," Zhang Fei said excitedly.

The others were also eager to try. Who wouldn't want to learn such a powerful move?

Outside Fengming Temple.

"It’s a blessing that you are all safe and sound," Cao Cao said, seeing the five people walking out of the temple.

"If it weren't for Big Brother’s help, I’m afraid we would have really been finished in this Fengming Temple today."

"That’s right, there was an illusion inside, and we couldn't use our full strength. With so many people from Hedong High School, they could have beaten us to death with one kick each," Ma Chao and Zhao Yun echoed.

"Hua Tuo, hurry and check on my Second Brother," Zhang Fei said after seeing Hua Tuo.

Hua Tuo put down his backpack and took out bottles of recovery water to hand to them.

"This is the 'Magic Dew' I just developed, it can quickly restore your physical strength. You can rest assured about Guan Yu."

Hua Tuo finished checking Guan Yu’s condition, "Second Brother’s internal injuries are not light, he needs good recuperation. Don't worry, I have confidence."

Learning that Guan Yu’s life was not in danger, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Cao Cao said: "The most important thing is that everyone is safe. I didn't expect Dong Zhuo to act so quickly; this time he actually wanted to eliminate us in one fell swoop."

"Such a despicable person is actually the principal, we must find him and demand an explanation," Ma Chao said indignantly.

"It’s a waste of time, we have no actual evidence. Who knows what moves he will make next? Everyone be careful, let’s go back to the Cao residence to treat Guan Yu’s injuries first," Cao Cao reminded.

"Mm." Everyone nodded and helped Guan Yu back to the Cao residence.

As the group returned to the Cao residence, they saw Li Ru and Meiniang leading the Hedong High School security team in a standoff with the Cao residence guards, both sides pointing guns at each other. Cao Cao hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

"Li Ru, what is the meaning of this? This is my home, who let you break in?"

Li Ru turned and looked at Cao Cao arrogantly, "Last night, Principal Dong Zhuo was attacked. The Principal said it was the work of you, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei, and ordered us to come and arrest you two."

"What, Dong Zhuo was ambushed, and he said it was our doing?"

"Nonsense! Last night the President and Brother Lin were with us the whole time, they didn't have time to ambush Dong Zhuo!" Zhang Fei cursed. They ambushed Guan Yu, lured everyone to Fengming Temple, and now they were framing Cao Cao and Lin Yu.

"You say we attacked Dong Zhuo, what evidence do you have? Empty words are useless," Cao Cao countered.

"Hmph, evidence naturally exists, take a look."

Li Ru brought out a tray with two pairs of black gloves on it.

"The gloves alone certainly don't prove anything, but look at this."

Li Ru took out another small bottle with the word "DNA" printed on it.

"This is the DNA reagent developed by my Hedong High School. Spray it on this, and no one can use it except the owner."

Saying this, he sprayed it a few times on the people beside him and let people try it.

"It seems they must have stolen our things while we were away and deliberately pinned the matter on us. Dong Zhuo is truly too sinister," Cao Cao said in a deep voice.
