Heavenly Official Sends Evil

Chapter 897 The Long Corridor
11:01 AM, second floor of the exhibition hall.

Wu Xian led six new brides straight to the Su residence.

The treasures of the Ye family have been obtained, while the ominous divination slip of the Su family can lead people into an illusion. If one can survive the illusion on their own, their ability to worship the gods will gain a new characteristic.

This feature can be inherited after the time is reset, so it should definitely not be missed.

Wu Xian stood in the Su residence and studied the divination slips for a moment before being disappointed to find that none of them—he, Yang Lin, or Wang Wei—had drawn empty slips.

This means that there are actually only seven types of illusions in the Su family mansion, and only seven traits can be bestowed, with no way to obtain traits repeatedly.

Therefore, there was no need for Wu Xian and the other two to enter the Su residence.

Wu Xian left the remaining four people with a choice.

Alternatively, you can follow Wu Xian to explore other residences. The dangers are unknown, but with Wu Xian by your side, you won't have to bear the greatest pressure.

Alternatively, one could enter the Su Mansion and face the single-person illusion alone, risking their life. However, if they survived, they could not only strengthen their ability to worship gods but also receive some spiritual training.

The pros and cons have been explained, and the fate of the newlyweds is now up to them to choose.

Shi Yan, Hao Ze, and Sun Shoubai chose to enter the Su residence to confront the illusion, while female tourist Xie Yulan believed it would be safer to stay with Wu Xian and the others.

Therefore, after giving a few instructions, Wu Xian left with Yang Lin and the other two, and the two groups began their respective adventures in the left area on the second floor.

……

crunch...

The door to the Xiao residence opened, and Wu Xian poked his head into the courtyard.

On the left side of the second floor, there are two unexplored mansions: the Lin Mansion and the Xiao Mansion. Wu Xian of the Lin Mansion obtained some information through Li Xiaohu's death, while the Xiao Mansion remains completely mysterious.

After hesitating for a couple of seconds, Wu Xian decided to test the waters at the Xiao residence first.

After the gate opened, the first thing you saw was not a spacious courtyard, but a narrow corridor.

The corridor is one meter wide and two meters high, with a ceiling, and is at least ten meters long. There are no windows, and there are lamps at the end of the corridor. There seems to be something written next to the lamps. At first glance, it feels like walking in a rectangular box, giving people a cramped and oppressive feeling. People with claustrophobia may have an attack instantly.

"Be careful, this kind of place might be hiding a trap."

Wu Xian drew his Burning Dream Dagger and walked cautiously at the front. The three newcomers followed behind him, imitating him. The four of them moved forward stealthily, their breathing audible in the corridor.

When they finally reached the end of the corridor, they saw a line of blood-written words next to a lamp. The words were twisted and trembling, clearly indicating that the person who wrote them was terrified.

Xie Yulan read aloud in a trembling voice:
"Go back quickly, don't go any further."

This line of text indicates that something terrifying exists ahead, making everyone's already tense nerves even more strained.

Wu Xian tested the area several times to make sure there was no danger after the corner before turning the corner in the corridor. But to his surprise, there was another, even longer corridor after the turn!

They walked nervously to the end of the second corridor and found another line of words on the wall near the lamps:

"How dare you come here? Are you courting death? That thing cannot be defeated!"

As Xie Yulan chanted, the three men felt increasingly burdened, and even Wu Xian felt a little uneasy.

Or should we go and take a look at the Lin residence first?
The four turned the corner again, and ahead was another corridor, with a lamp still shining at the end of the corridor.

Wu Xian's lips twitched: "Ah, this..."

The same trick might make people nervous once or twice, but if it happens too often, it becomes really frustrating.

"This corridor is quite long," Yang Lin said, wiping the sweat from his hands on his trousers as he held a shovel. Wang Wei's eyes darted around, a fierce glint flashing in them; he seemed to smell a bluff.

The four of them reached the end of the third corridor without incident. A message was still written on the wall, and Xie Yulan's voice, which had been trembling, no longer read it aloud:
"Go back now and you can still save your lives. Take another step forward and even a god can't save you!"

Wang Wei took a step forward like a big cat, but nothing happened.

Even Xie Yulan couldn't help but laugh.

The fourth corridor.

"It's too late now. You'll regret it, you'll regret not heeding my advice."

The fifth corridor.

"Stop walking! If you don't run now, it'll be too late!"

The four of them walked through one corridor after another with expressionless faces. Even Wu Xian did not expect that these corridors, which could be used to make a big fuss, were actually not dangerous at all. Along the way, they had to outwit and outmaneuver the air many times.

After walking through the sixth corridor, the four finally saw a different view.

This was a spacious courtyard... no, it couldn't be called a courtyard, but rather a ruin. The houses and walls that should have been there had all collapsed, leaving only the outermost courtyard wall.

In the center of the ruins, a figure was kneeling.

The figure was dressed in tattered white clothes, thin and hunched over, with long hair hanging down. One hand was outstretched, supporting a stone, and a red rectangular box was chained to its back.

Wu Xian's eyes lit up when he saw the box.

Wang Wei licked his lips: "That red box must contain something good, right? Could it be one of the seven treasures you mentioned?"

Upon hearing that it might be a treasure, Yang Lin and Xie Yulan both widened their eyes.

They had all heard Wu Xian talk about treasures and knew that treasures greatly enhanced the ability to worship gods, and that obtaining treasures would greatly increase their chances of survival.

After thinking for a moment, Xie Yulan clapped her hands:

"I understand. This thin, weak evil spirit is the one guarding the treasure. However, it is weak, so it built a long corridor and left those threatening words to prevent people from entering the Xiao mansion, thus keeping the treasure in its own hands."

Her words were echoed by Yang Lin and Wang Wei.

Wu Xian felt that the corridors in front might have been deliberately arranged to lower their guard.

Regardless, only by killing this evil spirit could they obtain the treasure. Therefore, Wu Xian and the three newcomers devised a simple action plan.

Judging from its size, this evil spirit is likely an agile type.

Wu Xianxian used the "Hundred-Pace Piercing Spell" to shoot its head from the corridor. This shot would most likely not kill it, but it would attract its attention.

Yang Lin then used the decapitation spell the moment its attention was drawn. Once the decapitation spell hit, its head was severed, and the rest would be easy.

The playing cards in Wu Xian's hand ignited, and a red wooden longbow appeared in his hand.

This thing clearly has a physical form, so how can it be considered a spell?

But when he thought of the fire-making spell and the insect-eating spell he had used before, Wu Xian felt that it was normal for the spells to have a physical form.

After drawing the bowstring taut, Wu Xian released his fingers.

Whoosh!
The arrow with the fine steel arrowhead flew at incredible speed straight toward the thin, malevolent head.

Then, the arrow was caught by a withered hand!
