Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Of course, Ye's mother's words were transmitted telepathically, and they did not diminish Ye Chen's momentum.

Ye Chen waved his hand and replied telepathically, "Don't worry, Mom and Dad, I don't even consider a mere Spirit Master a threat."

"Moreover, we cannot ignore such an unstable factor. It is my job responsibility to resolve it without delay."

Seeing that Ye Chen had said that, Ye's mother didn't say anything more, but she was still a little worried.

Ye's father comforted him, saying, "Xiao Chen knows what he's doing. There's no use worrying about it. Just watch TV and don't upset Xiao Chen."

The waiting process is always agonizing, at least for Liu Jingxuan and his group.

But they were trapped inside the room and couldn't escape.

Waiting might save you from death, but running will surely mean death.

Twenty minutes later, Ye Chen raised an eyebrow and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Oh wow, it's here!

Of course, it was just a small ghost that came, and Ye Chen pretended not to see it.

They were probably here to gather intelligence.

Ye Chen immediately used an Illusionary God Technique on the little ghost.

Illusionary God Technique is essentially a mental illusion. Although ghosts are not physical entities, they are essentially the same.

The Illusionary God Technique can still work on it.

In the little ghost's view, only Liu Jingxuan and a group of men in black were watching a replay of the Spring Festival Gala in the room.

They both appeared relaxed, showing no signs of anything amiss.

Since the other side sent a small ghost to scout ahead, it proves that they are also a cautious person.

If the other party knew that Ye Chen and his group were here, they might become suspicious and dare not show themselves easily.

After probing for more than ten seconds, the little ghost floated away.

Following the direction the ghost had gone, Ye Chen used his spiritual sense to pinpoint its location.

The other person was a middle-aged man wearing a hooded black robe with some intricate patterns.

It's all very mysterious; judging from the outfit alone, it's a bit unconventional.

After receiving the message from the spirit servant, he strode towards the residential area.

Ye Chen smiled slightly. You'd say the other party is cautious and low-key, but they do seem quite cautious and even know how to probe the way.

But with that outfit, the person getting turned around 200% of the time; on average, each person would turn their head twice.

This has absolutely nothing to do with being low-key.

During the Lunar New Year, if you wear all red, people might not even give you a second glance, but you insist on wearing a black robe.

Are you trying to look cool and stylish like young people who cosplay?

Ye Chen glanced at Liu Jingxuan and the others, then took out a handful of gold needles and sealed their acupoints.

"Don't move! These are soul-sealing needles. If you struggle, they'll pierce deeper. Don't blame me if you get hurt!"

Ye Chen warned the group, then went directly to the lobby on the first floor to prepare to welcome the spirit master who had traveled a long way to take his life.

Chicken Bro had already fled with his gang, so there was no one else on the first floor.

A moment later, the man in black robes arrived at the door. He didn't ring the doorbell, but instead jumped in.

As expected, the strong never follow the usual path; even scaling walls is done with such ease.

The man in black robes strode into the living room, only to be slightly taken aback when he saw someone sitting on the sofa leisurely drinking tea.

The man in black immediately frowned. Why hadn't his spirit servant detected this person?

Wait a minute, hmm, this person looks familiar. Have I seen him somewhere before?

Holy crap, isn't that Ye Chen?!

What is he doing here? No, if he's here, why didn't Liu Jingxuan say anything?

Why did Liu Jingxuan and the others lie to him?

Upon recognizing Ye Chen, the man in black robes immediately had a bad feeling and hurriedly began to retreat.

This is the instantaneous reaction of a cultivator.

This reaction was incredibly fast, taking only a breath or two.

It's clear that Old Deng is indeed very cautious.

The first thing someone does when they realize something is wrong is to retreat; that's a sign of a seasoned veteran.

It is no accident that I have survived to this day.

"Since you're already here, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Ye Chen's voice reached his mind, which struck the black-robed man like a thunderbolt, and he turned and ran.

He was convinced that he had been ambushed.

"Damn it!" the man in black cursed.

"boom--"

Whether out of panic or mental confusion, the man in black robes crashed headfirst into the courtyard wall.

He actually put on a show of incredible skill with his own head.

He smashed through the entire courtyard wall, and blood gushed from his forehead.

The man in black robes stumbled and collapsed against the courtyard wall with a thud...

Ye Chen shook his head and cursed, "Damn, what kind of quality is this wall? It collapsed with just one hit. And you're really tough as nails. I'm telling you, you'll have to pay for it!"

The man in black robes struggled to his feet, his face covered in dust and dirt, and he was momentarily dazed.

Such a sudden, unexpected attack is certainly enough to leave someone completely bewildered.

It's fortunate that he's a Foundation Establishment expert with a strong physique; if he were an ordinary person, he probably would have fainted by now.

The man in black shook his head, not caring about the blood splattering everywhere.

He quickly glanced around, identified a direction, and dashed off again.

My desire to escape this place has reached its peak. There's a problem here, a huge problem!

We must hurry and get going; everything else is secondary.

"boom--"

However, before the man in black had gone far, he smashed down another section of the wall...

Upon seeing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but gasp, unable to bear to look directly at it, utterly unable to bear to look directly at it.

This is probably what it means to be desperate and take any path.

Even if a master doesn't follow the usual path, they don't need to smash down someone's courtyard wall, do they? Why do they have to go against someone's courtyard wall?

This time, the man in black robes was clearly not as nimble as the first one, and he lingered on the ground for several seconds.

He was probably questioning the meaning of life at that moment.

You can clearly see a road, but why do you keep running into a wall?

Once is one thing, but twice is strange!

Have we been trapped in an illusion?

A thought flashed through the black-robed man's mind, leaving him bewildered and uncertain.

After recovering, the man in black robes struggled to his feet and did not run around aimlessly again.

Instead, he immediately summoned a spirit servant and used the spirit servant's vision to clear a path.

"Hmph, you think a mere illusion array can trap me? Naïve!"

The man in black robes, with his "prominent features" and blood-covered face, let out a ferocious snort.

"It really is an illusion array. What looks like a wall is actually the real exit. Watch me break through!"

From the servant's perspective, this is the direction of the courtyard gate!

At this moment, he believed in his servant's perspective!

The man in black robes smirked, closed his eyes, and charged toward the remaining section of the courtyard wall!

Without the slightest hesitation!

"boom--"

The man in black robes, with his eyes closed, smashed down the remaining section of the courtyard wall...

Ye Chen rubbed his forehead: "Tsk tsk tsk, holy crap, amazing, they didn't even utter a sound!"

The man in black robes remained silent, knocking himself unconscious.

Surprisingly, the Illusionary Divine Spell can also be applied to spirit servants.

Who told you not to believe in yourself...?

Knowing it's a wall, yet still running into it without hesitation, who's to blame?

The man in black robes never actually fought Ye Chen; he only ever tried to escape.

However, his escape ultimately failed, and he crashed into three walls, dramatically knocking himself unconscious.

The black-robed man's spirit servants instinctively stood guard beside him, keeping watch over their surroundings.
