Old Four rubbed his head and said, "Is there really an expert coming after us? But what could they be using to track us?"
Old Five glanced at his hair and said, "It must be your hair! You're always shedding, losing dozens of strands a day. It's definitely your hair that has fallen into the incense burner."
"Since it's an expert, let's get out of here quickly. There's no need to lose our lives over a job," Old Five immediately added.
"Scared of what? There are two of us, why should we be afraid of him? And this kid can use hair strands to track people; if we run back to the Sect and he finds us, revealing our Sect's location—whose responsibility will it be to bear such a big consequence?"
Old Four looked at Old Five with disdain and instructed, "Throw those two women out by the door and set up a Bewitching Soul Formation. If that kid dares to come in, we'll kill him on the spot."
Upon hearing Old Four's words, both women became terrified. They pleaded desperately, "Masters, we're just prostitutes trying to make some money, please don't kill us!"
Old Five chuckled and said, "Relax, we definitely won't kill you. But if you want to live, you can only hope that the person coming from the outside shows mercy."
With that, he stripped the powerless women naked and threw them at the doorway, making them stand on either side. Then he stuck a Yellow Talisman on each of their foreheads and said coldly, "Stand properly for me. As soon as you see the person coming, immediately enchant him. Whoever doesn't put in the effort, watch out, I might just kill you!"
As he spoke, he also took out a dagger and waved it in front of the two women. The sunlight shining on the dagger reflected a light that made the women unable to open their eyes.
The two women exchanged a glance, neither daring to make a sound. They were called to provide services, but had not expected to encounter such a situation.
"Stop messing around, set up the Formation!" Old Four snorted coldly. Old Five immediately went inside, taking out a pile of items to set up the Formation.
As he arranged the Formation, Old Four said, "We'll set up a Ghost Hitting the Wall outside first, let that kid go around in circles for a bit. Then we'll set up the Bewitching Soul Formation, so he can see these two women. We don't expect him to fall for it; we only need to strike in the instant his mind wavers, and we can take him down!"
"Old Four, what if the other party is really powerful? I think it would be better to lure him back to the Sect and let others help deal with him," Old Five said, worried.
"Why are you such a coward?"
Old Four said with frustration, "How many capable people can there be in this big city? Those Feng Shui Masters and the like, aren't they mostly frauds? Unlike us, who have been cultivated by our Sect for so many years, with genuine knowledge and skills?
"Even without using a Formation, we can fight and kill an expert at the Peak of mastery. Plus, with these Formations, even someone at the Great Perfection Mastery Level would die on the spot. What the hell are you still afraid of? If it really comes down to it, we'll just use our Gu Insects. Are we still afraid we can't take down a kid?"
Old Five gave a sheepish smile, thinking he might be worrying too much. He then started setting up the Formation in earnest.
Soon, the Formation was arranged, and the two men retreated into the room to quietly wait for their visitor.
Xu Hao, following the direction provided by the hair strands, quickly arrived outside the villa.
Noticing the pervasive Evil Qi around the villa, Xu Hao immediately understood that the people here had definitely set up a Formation. However, Xu Hao was not afraid.
When Xu Hao walked into the courtyard of the villa, he quickly realized something was amiss.
He had walked at least several dozen meters, yet he hadn't reached the opposite side, nor had he encountered anyone. The villa's door looked like a distant mountain, visible but unreachable! ThisisasamplefromMyVirtualLibraryEmpire.Readthereston*.
But that was impossible. No villa could be that large.
Therefore, Xu Hao quickly realized that he had encountered a Formation—"Ghost Hitting the Wall."
Ghost Hitting the Wall, as the name suggests, is as if there is a sealed circular wall, and you keep going around in circles, never finding the exit. Many people believe this to be the work of Ghosts, hence the name.
But Xu Hao knew that this was a Formation set up by someone practicing Xuan Techniques. If one didn't know how to break the Formation, they would be trapped and die in it.
Furthermore, the most formidable aspect of Ghost Hitting the Wall is that the Formation can redirect forces, taking the attacks from within the Formation and dispersing them elsewhere, making it difficult to break. Unless your power is immensely strong, capable of overwhelming everything else, you could only become a lamb to the slaughter, like fish on the chopping board.
Ghost Hitting the Wall is a well-known Formation in folklore and is quite difficult to set up. Anyone capable of setting up such a Formation must have already achieved a fair level of cultivation.
Inside the house, Old Four and Old Five watched Xu Hao seemingly go around in circles on the spot. The two naked women watched too, but they didn't dare to make any noise, afraid of alerting Xu Hao and displeasing the two Olds.
"This kid probably doesn't have much skill, huh? He can't even break this Ghost Hitting the Wall; he still dares to ?" Old Five said.
