Earlier, the array he set up in the earth building was too advanced. After all, this was a temporary base for them, and their own people needed to get in and out, which allowed the "fake person" to sneak in.

This time, the array he set up was very simple: not allowing entrance from outside or exit from inside.

The fake person didn't have much offensive capability and couldn't break the array unless the Old Transgender came personally.

But then again, if the Old Transgender really wanted to kill them at all costs, nowhere would be safe for the two of them to hide now.

Upon arriving at the construction site, Li Zhiyuan instructed Ran Dacheng to drive the tractor away some distance and wait, not to get close.

Ran Dacheng didn't understand but complied nonetheless.

After examining the surroundings, Li Zhiyuan found that, as Xue Liangliang had previously said, there were indeed traces of rituals left in many corners, there were even three small altars, along with various talisman papers and idols, resembling a divine conference.

However, their efforts were misplaced.

Li Zhiyuan looked towards the high scaffolding, the other end of which was connected to the western slope.

The third disciple from Miao Village was believed to have fallen off the scaffolding in drunkenness at night.

In fact, they hadn't looked in the wrong place.

When Li Zhiyuan started to pinpoint with his Compass, he found the position of gathering evil wasn't under the construction site, nor at the bottom of the river in front, but on that western slope.

Upon further examination after pinpointing, it could be found that an area on that side of the slope had a different color from the surroundings, likely re-filled and covered later.

The bait was in there.

It was indeed a large undertaking, with principles akin to offending a house-building master who then places a dead cat in the beam's layer for you.

Li Zhiyuan pointed to the location:

"Run Sheng, go and smash that open!"

"Okay!"

Run Sheng, holding a Yellow River Shovel, didn't take the scaffolding but ran to the opposite end, climbing along the steep slope.

"Lin Shuyou, get down there to prepare for support."

"Understood!"

Lin Shuyou also came to the bottom of the slope, ready to start divination.

Li Zhiyuan took out a piece of Array Diagram from his bag and handed it to Tan Wenbin: "Tan Wenbin, set up the array."

"At your command!"

Tan Wenbin took the diagram, glanced at it: a simple binding array, easy to understand and set up, was basic operation for the subcontractors below them.

He and Yin Meng briefly distributed tasks, then began to insert the array flags.

Xue Liangliang originally held a dagger in his hand, a gift from Tan Wenbin at the start, the same model as that at the sides of other team members' boots.

However, after gesturing a few times with the dagger, Xue Liangliang felt it difficult to gain sufficient sense of security with just that.

So he simply put the dagger away, picked up two steel rods from the ground, held one in each hand, and stood in front of Li Zhiyuan as protection.

Effectiveness aside, at least his intention was clear.

By now, Run Sheng had reached the area, standing on a rocky protrusion, he started smashing with the Yellow River Shovel.

The newly customized Yellow River Shovel for Run Sheng not only became bigger and heavier but more solid and durable.

With each blow, his clothes would puff up accordingly.

Debris continuously rolled down, hitting him, yet he ignored it, just continued digging vigorously.

As he smashed and smashed, large-scale cracks appeared; this area wasn't solid but hollow.

Run Sheng inserted the shovel's edge, shifting from chiseling to prying.

Once, twice, thrice... a "crash" sound was heard; large stones and dust rose, revealing a cave in the rock wall with a stone coffin at the entrance.

The stone coffin trembled, fell downwards, directly crashing toward Run Sheng below.

Run Sheng bent his body backward, kicked hard against the wall, sending himself flying backward.

Below, Lin Shuyou immediately started the divination.

In fact, since the stone coffin appeared, the aura of Evil erupted, and he had already sensed it.

His vertical pupils opened, and the White Crane Child descended.

The first thing the child did was to spread his arms, quickly retreating, receiving Run Sheng in midair, and continued retreating to dissipate the force.

In the past, the child only had eyes for the stone coffin, never considering saving teammates.

Even if he had to save them, he'd stand foolishly, directly catching them without caring if the divination child's arms might fracture because of that.

The current child... was very considerate.

The stone coffin continued sliding along the rock wall, gaining speed, plunging straight into the valley bottom, hitting the water surface.

"Bang!"

The water area in contact with the stone coffin began to blacken, immediately releasing black mist.

Along with continuous crisp sounds, something seemed to be ready to burst out from the coffin.

By now, Tan Wenbin and Yin Meng had already set up the array, watching that stone coffin.

Li Zhiyuan's voice came: "It's already out from the bottom of the coffin, be careful!"

A shadow formed beside Yin Meng, a pair of arms reached out from the shadow.

Yin Meng raised the Demon Exorcism Whip, positioned horizontally by his side, blocked the arms, then attempted to bind them by wrapping.

However, a stronger force surged from those hands, forcing Yin Meng to abandon his whip and retreat quickly.

"Ah!"

A roar came from within the shadow, then it charged forward ferociously.

Above this small area of the construction site, dark clouds began to gather.

Tan Wenbin stepped forward, shielding Yin Meng behind him, while raising his right arm, holding a crossbow with two Evil-breaking Talismans.

"Whoosh!"

He pulled the trigger, firing a crossbow arrow that hit the shadow.

In an instant, a noise like firecrackers during the New Year erupted.

Though the destructive power was limited, at least it dispersed the shadow, revealing its true form.

It was a woman adorned with pearls and gems, dressed in golden garments, wearing a jeweled crown, with heavy silver ornaments on her hands, neck, and ears.
