Max-Level Metaphysician: A Debt Repayment Journey-Chapter 1334: Under Surveillance

Xia Xin: "..."

Well, it seems like...

At that time, he only thought it was Xun Tianhai and didn’t have time to think about these things.

"Moreover, you saw all of that. We were just coming over and saw you dive into the water yourself, holding your own head underwater," Jiangli’s words poured a bucket of cold water on Xia Xin.

Xia Xin had to wake up, but was still a bit confused, "But... I did see it with my own eyes..."

Qing Yue said, speechless, "We already said it’s an illusion."

Xia Xin: "..." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Jiangli said, "Qing Yue is correct. It should have been an illusion, and this illusion knew that you knew Xun Tianhai and deliberately used Xun Tianhai to bait you."

Xia Xin: "..."

Fu Shiyan added, "I think this illusion not only knew Xia Xin knew Xun Tianhai but also knew Xia Xin trusts you."

Jiangli pointed at himself, "Me?"

Fu Shiyan nodded, "If someone wanted to bait Xia Xin, it would be more suitable to use you. Most people would know that using you, Xia Xin would be more likely to fall for it. But someone who truly understands would know, Xia Xin definitely wouldn’t believe you would end up in such a situation. Using you wouldn’t catch Xia Xin."

And Fu Shiyan and Qing Yue both followed Jiangli.

Beside Jiangli, the two of them couldn’t have encountered such things.

So, they didn’t use either of them to bait Xia Xin.

They used someone not around, uncontactable, whose safety was unknown, Xun Tianhai.

Moreover...

Not long ago, Jiangli just mentioned to Xia Xin feeling a slight Yin Energy and was a bit worried about Bai Changfeng and Xun Tianhai’s whereabouts.

Then this happened...

It’s like there’s always an eye here, watching their every move, reacting to them accordingly.

Qing Yue supported his chin, "Third brother makes a good point, but if that’s the case, it means we’ve been monitored ever since we came in?"

Jiangli slightly narrowed his eyes, "That’s very likely. Dangshan has always been a dangerous place, where Xuanmen can’t control. Dangshan also has its own barrier, so it’s normal to detect outsiders."

"Then, does that mean every move we make now, even just a conversation, the evil spirits here will know?" Xia Xin paused, "Then aren’t we like turtles in a jar?"

Jiangli glanced at him, "If you want to be a tortoise, don’t drag me into it."

Xia Xin choked, "... I didn’t mean that..."

"However, now that we’ve all encountered such situations, I’m afraid Xun Tianhai and Bai Changfeng might have encountered similar situations," Qing Yue continued the topic, "I wonder how things are on their side."

Jiangli whispered, "It’s not looking good."

Fu Shiyan looked at Jiangli.

Xia Xin’s face twitched, "Could it be, Director Xun and the others really are in trouble?"

Jiangli: "Hard to say."

"So what do we do now?" Xia Xin wiped the remaining water stains from his face, feeling a bit panicked.

Jiangli looked ahead, "Now we can only hurry and resolve the issues in this dangerous place. Since there are certainly many evil spirits inside, we should handle those things first."

Xia Xin, upon hearing this, remembered something, "Ancestor, you mentioned before that this place had tens of thousands of deaths... If, if all those things turned into evil spirits, then, then do we have to fight tens of thousands?"

Qing Yue explained, "Not all of them will become evil spirits. If there is a large group turning into evil spirits, there will usually be a leader-like figure, similar to a Ghost King. Once you deal with that thing, the other evil spirits will be powerless."
