An Wang glanced at me, "I believe in Mr. Li! Let's go!"

An Wang originally wanted to invite me to share his royal carriage, but I declined his good intentions and proceeded along the direction of the Dragon Vein.

On the way, I transmitted my voice to Ye Yang, "What do you think of the situation now?"

Ye Yang shook his head slightly, "I'm thinking about the past. It seems like I've walked this road before."

"But, I can't remember if it was Ye Yang or Ye Qianyang who walked this road."

I said in a deep voice, "Do you think this Xianyang River could be something Jiu Guan Daoren left for himself?" (Nine Coffin Taoist)

"Zhu Xiaoyu said that Jiu Guan Daoren himself wants to become a Greed Wolf Divine General."

"Since he's a Divine General, he should have troops under his command, right? Aren't the countless ghosts in the Xianyang River his troops?"

Ye Yang retorted, "Didn't Ye Qianyang also have the Coffin Gate?"

"The troops under the command of the Broken Army Ghost King and the Seven Kill Ghost Marshal number in the millions. They can bring an army to Jiu Guan Daoren at any time. That reason doesn't hold up."

I pondered, "Then what exactly is the purpose of the Xianyang River's existence?"

The secret of the Xianyang River seemed to be right in front of my eyes, but I couldn't quite grasp the key.

Six Doors

Dragon Vein

Forbidden Ground

Shi Fei Daoren (Right and Wrong Taoist)

Zhu Xiaoyu

Shui Linglong

An Wang

The appearance of everyone seemed logical, yet coincidental.

No!

This is a coincidence deliberately arranged by someone.

This scheme is aimed at Ye Yang.

From the moment we set out to find clues to the Land of Exile, coincidences have been occurring one after another.

Especially after I met Shi Fei Daoren, the feeling that someone was orchestrating things behind the scenes became even more obvious.

After I met Shi Fei Daoren, I nearly disrupted his plan several times.

The other party seemed to improvise, forcibly steering me back on course.

So, after I met Shi Fei Daoren, some parts of this adventure seemed unnaturally stiff.

The schemer's ambition is far greater than I imagined.

I have to break out of my original thinking to unravel this scheme.

I didn't speak along the way, but I was repeatedly deducing the entire Xianyang River journey from beginning to end!

Finally, I focused my attention on Bei Yan Jing Yun (North Goose Startle Cloud).

He is the real executor of this grand scheme.

Only by meeting Bei Yan Jing Yun can I unravel all the mysteries.

While I was pondering, I heard An Wang say, "Mr. Li, Wuxian Town is just ahead."

I looked in the direction An Wang was pointing, and what I saw was a small town of modest size, with a trench a dozen meters wide close to its outer edge.

This trench should be what was dug out when the Dragon Neck was severed.

Beyond the town, I could vaguely see a city built of red earth, half-hidden in the mist.

What's strange is that the Xianyang River and the Prison Camp weren't underground, but built in a semi-open-air location. Over at the earthen city, I could already see sunlight.

Looking at it this way, Blackwater Fortress and the Prison Camp each strangled the two ends of the underground Dragon Vein.

An Wang said, "Mr. Li, this Wuxian Town only allows ghosts and gods to leave, not to enter. Neither I nor the Water God dare to set foot in Wuxian Town. You'll have to go in by yourselves."

"If you solve the problem of Wuxian Town, send a signal to this king. This king will immediately lead his personal guards through Wuxian Town and accompany you to attack the Xianyang River."

"Attack?" I couldn't help but look at An Wang. "Do we need to attack the city to enter the Prison Camp?"

An Wang said, "Of course. There are garrison troops in the Prison Camp. If you want to enter the city, you must fight your way in."

I asked doubtfully, "You dare to attack the Prison Camp, but you don't dare to enter Wuxian Town?"

"That's right!" An Wang nodded. "In this king's opinion, Wuxian Town is even more terrifying than the Prison Camp."

"Don't ask this king why he's afraid of Wuxian Town. All this king can tell you is that in Wuxian Town, I feel a shudder from the bottom of my heart, a fear that cannot be described."

An Wang said, "Mr. Li, please take care!"

"Thanks!" As I stepped towards the trench, a scroll of unfolded white paper suddenly appeared on the other side.

The white paper was like a welcoming red carpet, stretching from the opposite side of the trench all the way to my feet. When I looked down, the word "Please" had already appeared on the white paper.

I just took a tentative step when I heard Wang Xiao Huan say, "Don't step on it. That's the Life-Taker's treasure, the 'Jue Ming Juan' (Life Severing Scroll)."

I turned my head and said, "What do you mean?"

Wang Xiao Huan said, "Legend has it that the Fate Masters have five great treasures: the Fate-Determining Plate, the Life-Severing Scroll, and the Fate-Severing Technique."

"The Life-Severing Scroll is just a blank sheet of paper. As long as you touch it, it will automatically write out your fate."

"Black characters write your past, and red characters write your future."

"When the red characters write out how you will die, you won't be able to escape. Within an hour, you will definitely die in a certain place according to the description on that paper."

"Unless you are a Celestial Fate Master yourself, you won't be able to change the words on the Life-Severing Scroll."

While I was hesitating, I saw sheets of white paper unfolding from the opposite side of the trench, instantly sealing off the entire trench.

Black earth and white paper, two ordinary things linked together, gave people an unusually eerie feeling.
