Chapter 57 Seeing Through the Barrier

Ci Yuan started to be arrogant again, "I have done my best to help you chase the monster. Do you still want me to surrender the monster to you?"

I suddenly realized, "Well... you're right, but thank you very much for not only lending us the mythical beast, but also helping us chase the monster!"

Ci Yuan snorted coldly, "If it weren't for the purpose of finding out the mastermind behind the scenes and removing my poison, I wouldn't bother to care about you useless people!"

These words hurt my self-esteem, but what was even more hurtful was that I was unable to refute it!

I changed the topic, pointed at the aperture and asked Ciyuan, "Does it require strong magic to set up this kind of barrier? I think my dad can do it, so can I learn it?"

Ci Yuan's tone seemed a little surprised, "Can you see this barrier?"

"Yeah, eh... that's not right!" I suddenly realized, "I didn't seem to be able to see it when I was at the old house before, and I didn't see it in the yard just now."

Ci Yuan sat behind me and breathed into the back of my neck as he spoke, "So this is the first barrier you've seen?"

I felt a little itchy and subconsciously shrank my neck, "That's probably it. What I see now is a large aperture that envelops us!"

Ci Yuan pondered, "How can you, a mortal, see the barrier? Even your father can only set up the barrier, but cannot see the barrier itself!"

I don't know anything about these things, and I don't dare to draw any conclusions. I can only guess, "Really? Could it be because of you?"

Ci Yuan denied it categorically, "It's impossible. You are not my only sacrifice. This has never happened before!"

"Oh..." Even if I have given up on him, I still feel a little uncomfortable when I hear that he has had other women.

I took out my phone and looked at the location of Shen Qingyang and the others. We were flying fast in the air, and they still kept a distance from us while driving.

The Blazing Dog took us through the bustling urban area and headed straight to the eastern suburbs. I already knew that our destination would be in the suburbs, but it actually continued to fly forward.

I sent a voice message to Shen Qingyang, "Brother, we have arrived at the eastern suburbs, but it hasn't stopped yet. It looks like it is going to the countryside!"

Shen Qingyang quickly replied, "So far away? The banshee is hidden deep enough. It would be really hard to find it if we had to look for it on our own!"

I don’t know whether it’s because I flew too high or the place is too remote, but the mobile phone signal is very weak. “My signal is not very good, so be careful not to lose me!”

Shen Qingyang was optimistic, "It's okay. At worst, you can send us the location when you arrive. Unless it's deep in the mountains and old forests, there should be a signal!"

The signal was really too weak, so I didn't continue to reply. I put away my phone and discovered that the Blazing Dog had stopped and was standing in the air.

"What's wrong? Did you lose me?" This shouldn't be the time, because it's impossible for the painting and the banshee to hide in the void.

Ci Yuan was very confident in the Blazing Dog, "No, it's just that the evil spirit is very weak. Let him identify it carefully to make sure it is correct."

I looked down at the mountains below and said, "I don't know if cars can get in here. If they can't get in, it'll be over."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Blazing Dog set off again, but in a different direction. Originally it had been heading west, but now it was heading south.

After crossing several large mountains and scattered villages, the Blazing Dog began to fly downward, and finally landed in a small village.

The village only had a few tile-roofed houses and was not popular at all. It looked like a deserted village. The Blazing Dog turned into a teddy and walked forward.

I took out my mobile phone while following it. There was only a weak signal, and I didn't know if Shen Qingyang and the others could receive the message in time.

"Hmm..." The Blazing Dog stopped in front of a dilapidated old house, wagging its tail and barking softly at Ci Yuan.

Ci Yuan stood with his hands behind his hands and acted as a translator for me, "It says that the painting is inside, but the smell of the banshee is very weak, so it may not be inside."

Even though the banshee might not be inside, I didn’t dare to go in until he went in. “Thank you, then do we have to wait here for Grandpa and his companions to come?”

Ci Yuan asked me, "Otherwise? Will you kill demons? Or do you want me to do all the physical work for you, and you just sit back and enjoy the results?"

In fact, I just asked casually. After all, he had said before that he would only help chase monsters and would not care about catching monsters. I didn't expect him.

Ci Yuan looked around and said, "While there is nothing to do now, I will set up a barrier to prevent the banshee or ancient painting from escaping!"

"Okay, thank you!" Thinking that I could see the enchantment of the Blazing Dog before, I stared at him specifically to confirm whether I could see it again.

I thought the barrier was a very complicated thing, but it turned out that Ci Yuan just made a few seemingly simple gestures, and a halo of light enveloped it.

I was surprised at how quickly Ci Yuan set up the barrier, "Is it done so quickly?"

A gust of wind blew by, and Ci Yuan's clothes fluttered like an immortal descending into the mortal world, "Can you see it?"

I nodded and pointed at the dilapidated old house, "Well... I saw a circle of light surrounding us and the dilapidated old house."

Ci Yuan didn't speak, he just frowned and stared at me closely. His scrutinizing and probing eyes made me feel very uncomfortable, and I felt like I was looking at a prisoner.

Seeing how serious he was, I couldn't help but get nervous, "Is there something wrong with me like this? Could it be that I'm not a human being at all?"

Ci Yuan sneered lightly, "I don't know if you are Renbenjun, but you can see that the old guy from the Shen family can't see the barrier with the naked eye, so there is indeed a problem!"

I rubbed my hands nervously, "But before I sacrificed myself to you, everything was normal. My parents are both human beings. I shouldn't be some kind of monster, right?"

Ci Yuan looked solemn and looked at me with suspicion, "I can indeed give you some benefits, but I cannot give you the ability to see through the barrier!"

I don't know how to explain it either.

Ci Yuan pondered for a while and came up with a guess, "Maybe in addition to the poison, the mastermind behind the scenes also used other tricks on you!"

I felt incredible, "Ah? But doesn't this give me an advantage? What's the benefit to them? Can I help them deal with you?"

Ci Yuan's expression became more solemn, "I am just guessing. If your guess is correct, it means that the mastermind behind this is extremely powerful!"

I asked him tentatively, "How powerful is he? Can he be more powerful than you?"

Ci Yuan slowly shook his head, "I don't know this, but I know that I don't have the ability to let you see through the barrier at a glance!"

It does seem to be quite powerful, but who am I provoking and why do you always have to do tricks on me?

What if one day they turn me into a puppet and turn against the Shen family and Ci Yuan, wouldn't I become a sinner?

I was scared when I thought of this, "Please, I must find the mastermind behind this. I don't want to be controlled, let alone hurt you!"
