Junghwan said slowly, "Jiji showed me."

Lisa lowered her head, seeing Jiji raise its mechanical hand, a display on its palm. This had been specially installed by Lisa, and you could see the group of people leaving on the screen, being led by Donghyuk, as well as Jeno, who kept turning to look back at Lisa who was drawing.

Hearing Junghwan's words, Jiji glared with its mechanical eyes. "Don't call me Jiji, call me Master System."

Junghwan: "Understood, Jiji."

At this time, a middle-aged man holding a basket of vegetables saw them, and greeted, "Good morning, Miss Lalisa, Junghwan, Master Jiji. Miss Lalisa, Manager Liu is looking everywhere for you."

Jiji: "... !" I said don't call me Jiji!

Jiji, who had been happily playing with Junghwan suddenly stopped, turning to Lisa and said, "Beauty Lisa, someone has touched your formation."

Lisa packed away her drawing things, and got up to head into the village. "Don't bother, let's go find Manager Liu."

At the same time, Donghyuk had already reached the coordinates that he had received from Hoseok. However, all he could see were trees in the deep mountain, and no sight of a single person.

"It should be here, according to this. Why is there no fluctuation of chi or anything?" He fiddled with the compass again, walking a circle, but there weren't any clues to be found.

"Could it be that there's an array?" Jeno said. "San Tong, you've researched this matter, go and see if there's anything that's unusual around here!"

San Tong stared at the vast mountain forest ahead of them. After a long while, he reached out to pick up a stone from the ground, and threw it in a direction. The stone disappeared out of thin air, and his expression was surprised. "There's an array here, for sure. But there's no trace of it at all, and I've never seen this happen before!"

In regards to formations masters in the ancient martial arts world, the Baili family would definitely take the top spot. However, no matter how formidable they were, their formations still had traces that could be spotted, which can be seen through fluctuations of energies. He had never seen this kind of formation, where no fluctuation could be felt nor seen, as though it had been completely hidden!

If it was any other time, he would be enthusiastic and spend a lot of time studying it, however he had to resist the urge due to the situation on hand.

"I'll ask Young Master Hanbin about it." San Tong said, picking up his communicator to contact said person.

Hanbin was a recognized formation genius in the ancient martial arts world, and San Tong admired him greatly.

Donghyuk saw San Tong's solemn state, and knew that things weren't that simple. Their small team had been established for so many years, and this was the first time he had seen such a look on San Tong's face.

Hanbin's voice came through soon enough, and San Tong briefed him on the happenings.

"This formation composes of nine different formations linked together in a chain, each of them connected to the next one." Hanbin's voice was grave. "I've read about it before in an ancient text, regarding how to hide all traces of a formation. This method is recorded in the ancient texts, and I'm guessing it's a formation left behind by an ancient warrior. Don't do anything rash, San Tong. Wait for me to come!"

Donghyuk looked at the disappearing trees in front of them, and he muttered under his breath, "... too late."

They had already fallen into the trap.
