In a corner of the hall, Cawara was curled up on top of a vase. The vase was black and covered with talismans. However, there were cracks on it.
Cawara was one of the most trusted subordinates of the City Governor, Jiulu Douji. He was one of the most powerful cultivators under the Four Heavenly Kings.
When the Four Heavenly Kings had matters to attend to and were not in the vicinity of the City Governor's Mansion, Cawara would stand guard.
When Pei Zi Yun teleported over, Cawara immediately transformed back to his original form and hid in a vase in a remote corner to avoid being killed.
Cawara was a spirit, which was why he could ignore physical bodies and hide in small objects. However, it was also because of this that the light from before had caused him even more damage.
However, in the blink of an eye, Cawara felt the aura of fear disappear. He did not dare to move. After waiting for a while and sensing no movement, he was sure that the terrifying enemy had left.
Cawara carefully passed through the wall, wanting to see if Hayakawa Naomi had been taken away. This was because it was his duty to protect Hayakawa Naomi.
"Eh, so there's another one hiding?" In the hall, Pei Zi Yun narrowed his eyes and laughed coldly. There was more than one spirit that had descended just now. More than ten spirits immediately turned to ash.
"No, why haven't you left yet?" After passing through the wall and seeing Pei Zi Yun, Cawara was shocked. His spirit body dimmed slightly.
Pei Zi Yun, who had regained some of his energy, was checking on Hayakawa Naomi's condition. He laughed, "Why not?"
As he spoke, he swung his wooden blade.
Seeing this, Cawara did not hesitate and immediately pounced on the wall, preparing to escape. However, just as he entered the wall, a faint light pounced on Cawara's body.
"Ah!!" Cawara let out a shrill cry as his entire spirit body started to burn. Originally, he would have been burnt to ashes. However, he was inside the castle, and was protected by the castle.
Cawara, who was half buried in the wall, was being repaired by a steady stream of black aura. However, he was still burning with white light as he let out a loud scream. It was a very strange scene.
However, Pei Zi Yun did not care.
Cawara, who was unable to die, cried out, "No, if you kill us, you will die too!"
"Even if we dissipate, you won't be able to escape. The person you want to save will become a real mermaid!"
"Three days. She only has three days to completely transform into a mermaid!"
"Ah!" Cahara let out a miserable laugh from within the flames. "I curse you to have your soul descend into hell!"
Pei Zi Yun laughed coldly, completely unaffected by these words. He stood up and waved his hand, causing the wailing Caobara to disintegrate into nothingness. All that was left was a black pearl that fell to the ground.
Pei Zi Yun took the pearl and placed it in his pocket. He then walked over to Hayakawa Naomi and observed her closely.
"It's getting more and more beautiful."
Naomi Hayakawa was getting more and more beautiful. Even Pei Zi Yun was attracted to her.
However, Hayakawa Naomi's body had undergone great changes. Her skin was covered with fish scales, and her legs had turned into a fishtail. All of this seemed to add to her charm.
Pei Zi Yun lowered his gaze, deep in thought. Although Hayakawa Naomi had left the pool, there were still traces of energy that were connected to her.
"It's this world that's forcing her to change!" Pei Zi Yun came to this conclusion as he stretched out his hand and tapped her forehead.
"Pu!" The entire mermaid trembled.
"Naomi, Naomi, become one with me!" A strong seductive voice rang out in Hayakawa Naomi's heart. Hayakawa Naomi felt like she was about to become one with the owner of the voice, but for some reason, she managed to hold on.
After some time, and not knowing how long, Hayakawa Naomi felt like she could not hold on any longer. Just as she was about to relax, a warm current flowed into Hayakawa Naomi's body. All of a sudden, the voice that had been lingering in her ears faded and disappeared.
Naomi Hayakawa opened her eyes and looked at Pei Zi Yun.
"Ah, department head, you're here. How rude of me to let you see me in such a pathetic state!" Hayakawa Naomi said as she relaxed. Her body trembled and she fainted again.
After resisting for so long, she was too tired, too tired.
Pei Zi Yun saw that Hayakawa Naomi had fainted once again. He looked at her closely and frowned, "She's alright now. She's just resting, but we can't completely stop her from seeping in."
"Does that mean we have to leave this world as soon as possible?" Pei Zi Yun did not choose to put her down. Instead, he picked her up and with a twist of his body, he pounced forward.
When he entered the city earlier, he chose to be more cautious. Now that he had regained his strength, he had nothing to fear.
Pei Zi Yun first reached the top floor of Heavensguard Pavilion. He stood at the highest point and looked down at the land around him. He looked at the thick fog around him and thought to himself.
'The enchantment has regained its strength. I can feel that this is a piece of land that has been cut off by the enchantment, forming a closed circle.'
'Hence, no matter where I go, I'll always return to where I started.'
'This enchantment is fused with the ground, and is extremely difficult to break through. Luckily, when I came here, I'd already killed more than half of the zombies and demons. Hence, I've unintentionally destroyed several nodes.' Pei Zi Yun turned around and walked down to the main hall. He held a pen in his hand and started drawing a map.
'Oh! This location, no, it's this node. No, it's still a few degrees away from it! 'Pei Zi Yun continued to calculate and pointed at a spot.
Following this, Pei Zi Yun carried Hayakawa Naomi back to where he came from. He saw Kuroda Mayumi. She was still at the same spot and had not moved a single step. Pei Zi Yun waved his hand and said, "Mayumi, follow me!"
Kuroda Mayumi followed behind Pei Zi Yun and arrived at a tower. Along the way, Kuroda Mayumi remained silent. Only when they were about to leave did she ask, "So, we're all dead?"
Kuroda Mayumi's eyes dimmed. "All that we've done, whether it was to save ourselves or the village, was all for naught?"
Kuroda Mayumi's face was filled with bitterness.
"No, of course not!" Pei Zi Yun smiled. "In my eyes, you're all alive."
"Do you still remember that I once asked you what it means to be alive?"
"Ah!" Kuroda Mayumi was a little confused as she opened her eyes wide.
"From what I see, to be alive," Pei Zi Yun's expression was gentle as he said, "is to have a clear mind and a healthy body."
"Only those who have lost their minds and their bodies are slowly rotting are considered dead."
"If you're confused, please remember what I said today."
Pei Zi Yun repeated himself once again. He wasn't trying to console her, but rather, he was speaking from the bottom of his heart. He then looked around and said, "That's why I don't think that saving myself and the village is useless."
"However, since you and I are friends, I'll give you a gift. After all, if I were to simply say it, it would be too much of a waste." As he said this, Pei Zi Yun tapped Kuroda Mayumi's forehead.
"Boom!" She seemed to hear a loud sound as the entire world collapsed. However, when she calmed herself down, nothing seemed to have changed. Only a pearl appeared between her brows.
"Are we all alive?" Kuroda Mayumi asked herself.
Scenes of joy, pain, sorrow, and joy flashed before her eyes. Many faces flashed past. There was a child named Mayumi, her beloved Tatsuya, her parents, the warrior, and the faces of many villagers!
Yes, we are all alive. We farm, we live, we quarrel, we struggle, we resist, all of these exist clearly.
Kuroda Mayumi's heart was no longer confused. She prostrated herself on the ground and said, "Hi, warrior, I understand!"
"It's good that you understand. Next, we have to deal with the last hidden danger." Pei Zi Yun's expression gradually turned cold. "Kuroda Dushi, how long are you going to run away?"
As soon as he said this, a group of people appeared in the distance. In front of them were farmers with farming tools and sickles. Behind them were warriors in armor, and then the mayor.
"Evil spirits, evil spirits!" The farmers shouted angrily as they waved their pitchforks and rushed forward. These were the townspeople who had gathered together when they heard that someone was invading.
"My enemy is another's hero."
Of course, they could belittle the other party as villains who had wounds on their heads and feet. However, in reality, there would always be people who were loyal and had been blessed by the mayor.
To the villagers, the mayor didn't do much. However, to the townspeople, the mayor was a benevolent and wise master.
For the mayor, they were willing to fight.
"Did they hear that I saved the village, so they sent the townspeople to expel and attack me?" Pei Zi Yun laughed. He turned around and rushed forward. With a flash of his blade, three farmers in front of him were cut in half at the waist. Fresh blood spurted from their mouths.
"Ah!" Reality proved that the farmers had not gone through military training and were not strictly organized. He only managed to cut down a few of them. The rest of them were instantly dominated by fear. Their loyalty to the mayor immediately disappeared. They screamed and retreated.
"Kill!" The rest of the warriors charged forward.
Pei Zi Yun's wooden blade flashed. With a slanted slash, a ray of light flashed. Before a warrior could react, his head had already flown up into the sky. Fresh blood spurted from his mouth.
Following that, Pei Zi Yun's figure flashed as he rushed forward. Blood splattered everywhere. In the blink of an eye, three corpses were lying on the ground.
Kuroha Douzhi shouted out loud as he pulled out his long blade and slashed downwards. As he slashed downwards, it felt as though a huge pressure was pressing down on Kuroha Douzhi. However, Pei Zi Yun only laughed coldly as he raised his blade and slashed downwards. A "pu" sound could be heard as Kuroha Douzhi groaned in pain. His blade was split into two halves, and a thick black mist sprayed out from it.
Following that, Pei Zi Yun swung his blade towards the sky. "Wind and Thunder Slash – Break!"
Right at this moment, the entire city, as well as the dark and gloomy mountain forest, rang out with the same miserable howl. This howl was almost synchronized. At the same time, countless specks of light exploded, and the fog that had been shrouding the area quickly retreated, revealing the fishing village.
"I've returned to Sea Order Village?"
Pei Zi Yun looked at the village in front of him. Looking at the modern buildings not too far away, Pei Zi Yun's expression was solemn. The scene in front of him was strange. There was not a single person in the entire fishing village. Even with his current senses, he could not sense anyone nearby.
"Eh, something's wrong. This isn't normal!" Pei Zi Yun frowned. Could it be that she had failed? He stood still, deep in thought.
"No, it's indeed a different world. Naomi's breathing has stabilized, and she has not degenerated."
Before this, Hayakawa Naomi's body had been degenerating. The scales on her body had increased. Initially, there were scales on her chest, but now they had spread to her neck.
But now that Pei Zi Yun looked at her, there were no scales on her neck. This meant that Hayakawa Naomi was no longer under the influence of that world.
Since this was the case, it meant that they had indeed arrived at Sea Order Village. Pei Zi Yun thought to himself. All of a sudden, he looked in a direction and frowned. "Something's not right. There's killing intent.
