Chi Qingzhou raised his voice, "It's not safe here. Actor Song, walk a bit further up the mountain, then find a larger tree. Wait for me under its shade."

"What's going on?" Song Yuzhi was startled. "Mr. Chi, where are you going? I'll go with you!"

Chi Qingzhou didn't stop walking, already moving about ten meters ahead.

He turned his back to Song Yuzhi and waved his hand without answering.

Song Yuzhi's face turned pale. "Mr. Chi! Mr. Chi! Don't go, wait for me! Take me with you! Don't leave me behind!"

He shouted as he frantically ran after Chi Qingzhou.

But no matter how fast he ran, he couldn't catch up with him.

Chi Qingzhou looked like he wasn't walking quickly, but no matter how much Song Yuzhi tried, he just couldn't get any closer.

Realizing something was wrong, Song Yuzhi hesitated and stopped running, swallowing nervously. His eyes were filled with helplessness.

Chi Qingzhou continued in the direction where the Yin and grievance energy had gathered.

Xing Shuangzhan stepped out of his shadow, one hand resting on his shoulder in a protective manner.

Even though he knew Chi Qingzhou didn't need protection, Xing Shuangzhan still did it out of habit.

They walked for about ten minutes before a giant dragon's brain incense tree appeared before them.

The tree stood at least 60 meters tall, with a thick trunk and lush foliage.

Right beneath the tree, a round altar made of mountain stones was entirely shaded by its branches.

The altar had a bluish-green hue, with nine tiers stacked from the bottom up. It was intricately carved with patterns of the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, birds, and beasts.

Four channels were carved into the altar at the cardinal directions, and streams of water seemed to defy gravity, flowing from the outer altar into a central depression, where mist gently rose.

Chi Qingzhou stopped in his tracks, looking up at the altar with a dazed expression.

"Brother Su, this altar... it looks just like the one you use."

Xing Shuangzhan didn't respond, his fingers gently tracing the back of his neck, radiating a comforting energy.

Chi Qingzhou felt the familiar ghostly aura at the center of the altar, so similar to Xing Shuangzhan's, and the smile on his face slowly faded away.

He pulled out the long wooden stick he'd used earlier from the shadows and quietly asked, "This person... they're with the ones who stole your ghostly energy, right?"

The guests and crew of the "Scenery Along the Way" program were sitting around in a farmhouse courtyard, munching on snacks and chatting idly.

The director leaned against the livestream van, fanning himself with his hand, discussing with the PR team how to write the announcement about the broadcast suspension.

"How about we just say the preparation wasn't enough, and the livestream equipment malfunctioned during a special segment?"

"Do you think the viewers will buy that?"

"Well, what else can we say? With the situation like this, forget about today, we might not even get the livestream back up tomorrow."

The director thought for a moment, then nodded, asking her to draft an announcement for him to look at.

He turned to ask his longtime partner, "Has Mr. Chi not come back yet?"

The assistant director replied, "No, maybe he went up the mountain with Mr. Song."

The director clicked his tongue, not saying anything else.

Just a few minutes earlier, their phone signals had returned to normal, and they immediately called the police.

The police had quickly assessed the situation and informed them that the rescue team was on its way to Yinping Village, telling them to wait for the rescue team to arrive.

Upon hearing this, the crew decided not to return to their rooms and instead waited in the courtyard for the rescue team.

As for Chi Qingzhou and Song Yuzhi, everyone was worried about them, of course.

But the way they saw it, they, a bunch of newbies, would just be holding everyone back—no need to make things harder for Mr. Chi. With Mr. Chi around, Actor Song would be safe for sure.

They silently agreed to talk about light topics, but before long, the guy in charge of monitoring the network suddenly screamed and fell off his chair!

His face turned ashen, his whole body trembling. "N-No good... the livestream room... it turned on by itself again!!"

Everyone froze for a second at the sound. The director, who was about to help him up, stood still, his face paling as he screamed two minutes later.

"What's going on? What's going on??"

The others snapped out of it and swarmed over, asking at once, "What happened? Wasn't everything fine just now?"

The director had no clue.

He was so scared that his face turned pale.

In the end, it was Tang Qichen who reacted quickly. He grabbed his phone, found Chi Qingzhou's livestream room, and clicked in to observe carefully.

Most of the people participating in the show were just regular folks, so after watching for a bit, they couldn't figure anything out. Only Xu Xinxin struggled for a moment before suggesting that everyone should head up the mountain to find Chi Qingzhou.

She whispered, "Mr. Chi is the strongest and the one who understands these things best. There's no place safer than with him."

Zhong Lingshu immediately recalled Chi Qingzhou's earlier words about Xu Xinxin, her eyes flashing slightly as she stepped forward to support Xu Xinxin's decision.

The others weren't slow either and quickly caught on, all agreeing to head up the mountain.

Chi Qingning had wanted to mention that she was injured, but seeing that everyone had made up their minds, she didn't say anything more.

Everyone quickly began packing their things, and the viewers and fans, who hadn't realized what was going on, rushed back into the livestream room as soon as it came back online.

Despite the guests' anxiety, they had to put on a smile and interact with the viewers, who were eagerly sending greetings and comments.

Once the crew finished packing, the guests quickly came up with an excuse to play a game and rushed toward the Yuhua Mountains.

Fortunately, Yinping Village was right next to the Yuhua Mountain range, or they wouldn't have even been able to get up the mountain.

Most of the viewers hadn't noticed anything strange yet. When they saw that Chi Qingzhou and Song Yuzhi weren't with the main group, they popped into their livestream rooms for a quick look, only to get even more confused.
