"Let's gather together and follow this group of people." Jian Xing instructed in a low voice. The others understood and nodded. That demon definitely had a purpose for controlling this group of people. If they followed them, they would definitely be able to find it.
Fatty didn't stop them either. He just followed them from a distance.
They followed the crowd for a long time. Suddenly, in the white fog in front of them, spots of light appeared, and there were faint sounds of people. Everyone was stunned. They quickened their steps and walked forward. They realized that it was actually the city gate of Quhang City in front of them. They had clearly followed the crowd all the way out of the city. Why did they turn back?
And right now, inside Quhang City, it wasn't dead silent like when they left the city. Instead, it was brightly lit and noisy, as if it was a festival. From time to time, children carrying lanterns ran across the streets, playing and playing. This situation was strange no matter how one looked at it.
"What's going on?" The disciples were confused.
"Brother." Zhi Lin subconsciously grabbed Jian Xing's hand.
Jian Xing frowned. After a while, he said, "Let's go in and see what's going on."
The remaining three looked at each other and nodded. Then, they all walked into the city.
But Mushroom shook her head and refused to go. She said, "I don't like this place. It's very strange. Can we not go in?"
They turned back to look at her. They hesitated again. But if they didn't go into the city, they wouldn't know what was going on.
"Sister Mushroom, don't be afraid." Zhi Lin took a step forward. With an amiable look on her face, she advised softly, "Why don't you hold my hand? We will protect you." With that said, she even smiled at her with a gentle look on her face. But she clearly looked older than Mushroom, but she called her sister. It felt strange.
Mushroom had a good impression of Zhi Lin. She looked at her, hesitated for a while, but still held her hand and followed them in.
Fatty frowned. Something flashed across his eyes. Demons were always more sensitive than humans. Unfortunately … He sighed and could only follow them in.
The city was even more lively. The streets were brightly lit. Rows of lanterns were hung. Both sides of the road were filled with all kinds of stalls, selling their wares with all their might. It looked like an ordinary night market.
The more they looked, the stranger they felt. But they couldn't tell what was going on. After thinking for a moment, he turned around and asked the person beside him.
"Big Brother, did something big happen today? Why is the city so lively? "
The man looked up at him and said, "You must be from out of town. Our city has a night market every month. It has always been like this."
"I see." The disciple's eyes darkened and he continued to ask, "Has anything strange happened in the city recently?"
"Strange? What strange thing! "The man was stunned, and glared at him with some dissatisfaction." Our Quhang City is peaceful. Don't talk nonsense. Go, go, don't disturb my business. "
The disciple could only retreat awkwardly. Everyone else's expressions became a little more serious. Everyone in the city was clearly distressed during the day. Everyone in the city knew about the inexplicable lethargy, but why did this person seem to be completely unaware of it?
"Brother, where did Master and the others go?" Zhi Lin suddenly pointed to the front of the street and said, "When we left the city previously, he and Sister Shen … Master Shen were clearly here. I remember this street!"
Everyone looked around and realized that this was indeed the street they left the city on. But Lonemoon, who was originally nervously guarding Shen Ying, was now nowhere to be seen. But they had only left the city for a quarter of an hour.
"Could it be that they returned to the inn first?"
Jian Xing's expression darkened. "Let's go back to the inn and ask."
So the group quickened their steps and returned to the inn earlier. But the strange thing was that the innkeeper didn't seem to recognize them. He thought that they were here to stay, and that Lonemoon and Shen Ying weren't in the inn.
The more they thought about it, the stranger they felt. They all looked at Jian Xing who had the highest cultivation. "Uncle-Master Jian Xing, what should we do?" He was Lonemoon's disciple, the same generation as Fatty, so everyone called him Uncle-Master.
"Let's split up first and ask around. We'll decide after we figure out the situation." Jian Xing suggested. "Four hours later, we'll meet here again."
The few of them nodded and dispersed in all directions. Even Mushroom was pulled out by Zhi Lin. Fatty didn't go out to ask around. Instead, he sat down in the inn and waited for them to return. Four hours later, they returned to the inn, but their expressions were not very good.
"I went to ask around. The people in the city seem to have forgotten that they were unconscious."
"It's the same here. I even specially went to the few families that I asked around in the day. They even chased me out."
"These people seem to be completely different people in the day and at night."
"Could it be … this is just an illusion?! These people are all fake? "
The few of them paled. If this was an illusion, then how powerful must the other party be to be able to replicate an entire city?
"No!" Jian Xing shook his head. "They are indeed all people. They don't look like they were created by spells."
Everyone was silent. They had no clue at all. Although they were unwilling, they could only turn to look at Fatty beside them.
"Exalted Master …" Jian Xing cupped his fists and said, "Please give us some pointers."
Fatty smiled. Seeing that they were indeed stuck in a bottleneck, he reminded them, "This is indeed not an illusion, but a dream!"
"Dream?!" Everyone was shocked and looked at each other.
"Do you still remember what was written on that piece of paper asking for help?" Fatty glanced at them before continuing. "It said that at night, everyone will fall into a nightmare and only wake up in the morning. The place we are in now is their dream. Someone has taken control of their consciousness and entered the same dream. "
The few of them were stunned. No wonder those people completely forgot what happened in the day. They also forgot that they would fall asleep at night. After all, it was a dream. When they first saw the white fog, they were probably already pulled into the dream.
"But, didn't they say it was a nightmare?" Zhi Lin asked doubtfully. "I see that everyone is quite happy. It doesn't look like a nightmare?"
The other disciples thought so too.
Fatty smiled and said, "Very soon, it won't be."
"What?" The few of them were stunned. Before they understood what he meant, they suddenly heard a scream. The streets suddenly became chaotic. People kept screaming. A group of people ran past them with panicked expressions. All of them ran back in a panic.
"What's going on?" They stood up directly.
The next moment, they suddenly heard a loud roar.
Roar …
