I am Master Maoshan

Liu Jun didn't have time to think about it, he immediately took out a golden pen and rushed forward, as if he was going to use the formation to try to see if he could stabilize the barrier.

As he painted frantically, he looked at the barrier that was getting out of control with a determined look. His forehead was already covered with sweat, but his hands were still as steady as a rock, and his brushstrokes were firm and powerful.

"Hurry up, faster!" Liu Jun screamed in his heart, as if this would bring him more strength. His heart was filled with tension and fear, but he forced himself to stay calm, because only by staying calm could he find a way to solve the problem.

Countless arrays flashed through his mind, and every brain cell tried to find a way to stabilize the barrier. His mind was running at a rapid speed, like a high-speed computer, constantly looking for the best solution.

Tushan Susu's figure flashed through his mind, and he knew that if he really couldn't control himself, Tushan Susu would come to clean up the mess for him. But he also knew that if she didn't come in time, she might come to pick up his belongings.

This thought made his heart tighten. He knew that he couldn't fail like this, he couldn't just die here. His eyes flashed with determination, and his hand moved quickly on the ground, as if he was racing against time.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still, and every minute and every second stretched into an unbearable weight in Liu Jun's heart. He stared closely at the intricate array in front of him, as well as the barrier that was temporarily as stable as Mount Tai, as if his entire world had shrunk into this small space. He refused to relax his eyes, fearing that any mistake would cause his previous efforts to fail.

When the formation finally took shape under his control, and when the barrier stabilized its fluctuations under his power, Liu Jun seemed to hear the sound of his tense heartstrings breaking. He took a deep breath, trying to expel the fatigue that almost tore him apart. The weight of his body seemed to be lost in an instant, and he sat powerlessly on the wet ground. The coldness around him penetrated his skin through the fabric of his clothes, but he had no time to care.

At this moment, a faint sound came from the corner, breaking the hard-earned tranquility. Liu Jun's eyes quickly turned to the source of the sound, and his face turned pale in an instant.

The woman in black who was kicked away by him and was lying on the ground like a dead person was now slowly crawling up from the ground, like a ghost that had escaped from the brink of death.

Liu Jun's heartbeat accelerated at this moment, and his palms tightly grasped the ground, his fingertips turning white due to nervousness. He knew that this barrier had just stabilized, and if the woman in black did something crazy again, he might not be able to solve it, and then they would both be finished, and even half of the Fallen Forest would be buried with her.

Without time to think, Liu Jun almost subconsciously took out a brick from the storage space and threw it at his head without hesitation. This action was skillful and quick, and it was obvious that this guy had practiced it countless times, but he didn't know where he practiced it.

The brick drew a simple arc in the air, and then hit the head of the woman in black at an alarming speed. There was a deafening "bang" sound, which was particularly harsh in this quiet space. The moment the brick touched the woman in black, Liu Jun's heart was lifted up, and his eyes were fixed on the woman in black, waiting for the result.

The woman in black had just gotten up from the ground, and before she could stand firmly, she was hit by a brick. She staggered and her body was about to fall.

She followed the direction of the brick and looked at Liu Jun, her face full of confusion and puzzlement. Her lips slightly opened, as if she wanted to say something, but before she could say anything, she fainted again.

Seeing this, Liu Jun's mouth twitched. A terrible question came to his mind. Although he had reacted like this because of the black-clad woman's crazy behavior before, it could be said that there was a reason for it. But the black-clad woman might not know this. Looking at her puzzled expression, she obviously didn't understand why she was hit by the brick.

Liu Jun felt a little uneasy. He was not completely unaware of the harm his behavior might cause to the woman in black. But the scene at that time was too scary, and the woman's behavior forced him to take precautions. He could only hope that the woman in black could understand that this was not his intention.

After resting for a while, Liu Jun stood up and walked over, looking at the woman in black, with mixed emotions in his heart. He didn't know how he should face this situation, how to explain it to the woman in black. He could only wait, wait for the woman in black to wake up again, wait for her to understand all this.

Fortunately, the woman in black was not a delicate and weak woman. After being unconscious for an hour, she finally woke up again.

The woman in black slowly opened her eyes, and then saw Liu Jun with a smile on his face. She was confused for a few seconds, as if she remembered that Liu Jun had hit her with a brick. She jumped back several steps and immediately entered a combat state, looking at Liu Jun vigilantly, even with her three iconic fox tails showing.

"Well, misunderstanding," Liu Jun smiled awkwardly.

The woman in black didn't say anything, but still looked at Liu Jun vigilantly, her eyes slightly narrowed, as if looking for Liu Jun's weakness.

"Well, I really need to explain to you. I don't know what happened to you just now. It was as if you were possessed by a demon. You kept trying to open the barrier, but the barrier retaliated and almost killed us on the spot. I had no choice but to knock you out. But just as I stabilized the barrier, you woke up again. I was afraid that you would continue to make trouble, so, well, you know," Liu Jun explained hurriedly.

"Are you saying that I was possessed by a demon just now?" The black-clothed woman's eyes flashed with doubt and vigilance. Her fox tail swayed slightly behind her, making her look both alert and uneasy.

She tried to recall the previous scene, but her thoughts were like overturned peas, messy and chaotic.

Liu Jun looked at the woman in black and felt helpless. He knew that he had to explain everything as soon as possible, otherwise, if the misunderstanding continued and they started fighting, the barrier would become unstable again and things would get serious.

"I really didn't lie to you. Calm down and think carefully about whether you couldn't control yourself just now." Liu Jun's tone was full of sincerity. He hoped that the woman in black could believe him.

The eyes of the woman in black flickered slightly. She looked at Liu Jun, trying to find a flaw in his eyes, but she was disappointed. There was only sincerity and worry in Liu Jun's eyes.

She took a deep breath and finally slowly relaxed her body, but her eyes were still full of vigilance.

"Okay, I believe you. But in the future, please don't attack me easily." The woman in black said coldly, her voice full of alienation and indifference.

Liu Jun looked at the woman in black, feeling a little bitter. He knew that this misunderstanding might become a barrier between them, and the relationship that had finally eased had reached a freezing point again.

The woman in black was full of contradictions and pain. She knew that she had believed in Liu Jun. Although she could not recall her experience after she became possessed by the devil, she clearly remembered that before she lost control, when she looked through the barrier at the old ancestor's tail, the tail seemed to have turned into her mother. This tail became her concern, and she could not extricate herself from it.

In her eyes, this barrier became a prison cell that imprisoned her mother, which made her feel extremely painful. The reason why she lost control was because of her deep longing and desire for her mother. She wanted to rescue her mother, which was the strongest wish in her heart. However, after she lost control, her memory became blurred until she woke up and was hit by Liu Jun with a brick.

"Can this barrier be opened without causing counterattack?" asked the woman in black, her eyes full of anticipation and worry.

"Yes, but it will take time." Liu Jun replied. He had just completed a series of complicated operations. He had mastered the counter-restrictions of this barrier and found a way to open it.

After hearing this, the woman in black nodded and decided to step aside to give Liu Jun enough space and time to complete this difficult task. She learned her lesson and stopped looking at the tail in the barrier. She was afraid that she would be trapped by the illusion again, lose control again, and fall into painful memories again.

She stood quietly in the corner, watching Liu Jun's busy figure, her heart was full of expectations. She expected Liu Jun to successfully open the barrier and take out the tenth tail of the old ancestor.

Liu Jun swallowed a few pills to restore his physical and spiritual strength, and felt the energy in his body surge up again. He took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and came to the front of the barrier again. He took out the golden pen from his arms. The pen looked ordinary, but it emitted a faint light, as if it contained some mysterious power.

Liu Jun stretched out his hands and began to write and draw on the ground. The moment the tip of the pen touched the ground, the ground seemed to become soft, and the ink seemed to blend into the earth. He painted faster and faster, and his strokes were as smooth as flowing water. Strange runes flowed out from the tip of the pen and swirled around the barrier.

After a while, the light on the barrier flashed by, and then the entire barrier slowly disappeared, revealing a tail inside. The tail was a translucent white, with a slight golden glow at the end, looking extremely tempting.

Before Liu Jun reached out to take it, the tail suddenly moved, rushing towards the stone door like a snake, as if trying to escape from this enclosed space. Liu Jun's expression changed, he knew that the tail had its own consciousness, sensed the breath of the outside world, and wanted to escape.

At this moment, a two-meter-long talisman suddenly appeared at the stone gate, densely engraved with various complex runes. Those runes exuded strong spiritual power, illuminating the entire space.

"Ah!" A shrill scream came from the tail, echoing in the silent space, making people terrified.

Liu Jun and the woman in black were stunned by this sudden change. They looked at each other and saw fear and disbelief in each other's eyes. (End of this chapter)
