Venerable White and Su Clan's Shiliu split up to search for the core of the [Illusory Reality]. Before splitting up, Venerable White gave Song Shuhang and Shiliu a 'thousand-mile sound-transmitting talisman' so that they could contact each other easily. In this space that was suspected to be a fragment of the Ancient Heavenly City, cell phones couldn't be used.
In addition, Song Shuhang and Shiliu had 'disposable flying swords' with them. If they were in danger, they could activate them to protect themselves or to escape.
Venerable White was nearby, so he was safe.
Venerable White and Shiliu left, but Song Shuhang stayed by the dried up lake. He stretched his hand out of his size-reducing purse and took out an item — a scouting-type puppet.
At that time, he asked Beihe Sanren to repair this puppet. He wanted to use it to take his place and act out the scene of Senior Brother Gao Sheng torturing Ling Ye with Venerable White. But later, for some unknown reason, the one who acted out the scene with Venerable White was his real body, while the scouting-type puppet stayed below the stage, quietly acting like a pretty boy.
Song Shuhang thought back to it and felt that he had been possessed at that time.
After taking out the scouting-type puppet, Song Shuhang made a hand seal and poured his True Qi into the puppet. In the blink of an eye, the puppet transformed into Song Shuhang's appearance.
Song Shuhang nodded in satisfaction. He controlled the scouting-type puppet and let it take his place to investigate the world of the [Illusory Reality].
As for his real body, he stayed by the dried up Jade Lake.
In front of him, there were female guards of the Jade Lake in full armor. They were staring at him, not moving an inch.
Speaking of which … at first, Venerable White wanted to capture one of the female guards of the Jade Lake and study them.
But later, Venerable White changed his mind and wanted to move the entire fragment of the Ancient Heavenly City. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Venerable White temporarily let these b * tches off. After all, if he destroyed the female guard, he might trigger the self-defense mechanism of the Illusory Corporeal and cause unnecessary trouble.
These female guards of the Jade Lake had dodged a bullet. Venerable White rarely gave up on things he was interested in.
…
…
Song Shuhang and the female guard of the Jade Lake continued staring at each other.
Shuhang asked again, "Excuse me, is this the Ancient Heavenly Court?"
The female guard of the Jade Lake fell silent.
Song Shuhang asked again, "Is the master of the Jade Pool still alive?" — — Is the master of the Jade Pool the legendary Queen Mother of the West?
The female guard of the Jade Lake remained silent like a statue.
Song Shuhang asked, "Have you been living here since the era of the ancient Heavenly Court?"
The female guardian of the Jade Lake still didn't react.
No matter what Song Shuhang asked or said, they wouldn't react.
But … as long as Song Shuhang took a step forward, the silver-armored female guard would point the sword in her hand at Song Shuhang, assuming the posture of 'drawing the sword'.
Then, when Song Shuhang retracted his foot, the silver-armored female guard would return to the posture of 'defending'.
Song Shuhang tried this several times, and the silver-armored female guard would always have the same reaction. When he raised his foot, the female guard would draw the sword; when he retracted his foot, the female guard would return to the posture of 'defending'.
"They're just like NPCs in games."
These female guards of the Jade Lake … Do they still have intelligence? Or have they really become NPCs?
But didn't they recognize my identity as the 'Master of the Divine Beast Department' at the beginning? Could it be that they recognized my identity before because of the fixed movements of NPCs in games?
Song Shuhang looked down at the Swordsman Wooden Ox's glove of passion on his hand and wondered if he should try to use the appraisal technique on these female guards of the Jade Lake.
Although they were quite old, Song Shuhang's understanding of the 'secret appraisal technique' was getting deeper and deeper. He estimated that even if he were to appraise these female guards, he would have to pay a price that his body could bear.
However, if he wanted to use the secret appraisal technique, he would have to get close to these female guards.
If he got close to the female guards, they would attack him.
"I don't know where to start," Song Shuhang said in a low voice.
After thinking for a moment, he stood up and walked around the shore of the Jade Lake, trying to see if there was any other way to enter the Jade Lake.
When he started to walk, the silver-armored female guard and the other female guards also started to move. They stepped out of the mud and followed Song Shuhang closely.
Wherever Song Shuhang went, they followed him.
…
…
Song Shuhang continued walking along the shore. As he walked and walked, the connection between him and the 'scouting puppet' was suddenly cut off!
Earlier, the puppet had been scouting nearby. Then, the puppet discovered a valley and entered it.
As soon as it entered, the connection between Song Shuhang and it was cut off.
There was something wrong with that valley. Song Shuhang immediately took out the 'thousand mile sound transmitter' talisman and contacted Senior White and Shiliu Su.
Just as Song Shuhang activated the talisman, the connection between him and the 'scouting puppet' was suddenly reestablished.
The scouting puppet had been thrown out of the valley. At this time, the puppet had been cut into five pieces. Miserable!
This scouting puppet was a relatively cheap magical treasure. It had a bad habit, and that was that it would share everything it experienced with its master. Everything it saw, everything it heard, everything it felt … as well as the intense pain.
"Ah ~" Song Shuhang let out a blood-curdling scream.
He personally experienced the pain of the puppet being cut into five pieces. This wasn't something a human could endure.
The pain of being dismembered came too suddenly. Song Shuhang, who was in intense pain, slipped and fell to the ground. His body rolled a few times … and just like that, he rolled into the territory of the Jade Lake.
Not good!
Song Shuhang looked at the group of female guards of the Jade Lake out of the corner of his eye.
Sure enough, when he rolled into the dried-up Jade Lake, the female guards instantly exploded and attacked him.
The silver-armored female guard was the fastest. As she charged forward, a dazzling white light burst forth from her body. In the next moment, a pure white flame ignited on her body, and as if she had teleported, she appeared next to Song Shuhang.
Sword light danced in the air, and over a hundred sword lights instantly slashed toward Song Shuhang.
But right at this time … a transparent barrier lit up on Song Shuhang's body, firmly wrapping him inside. It was the powerful barrier that the seniors of the Nine Provinces Number One Group used to play dead while filming the movie.
Song Shuhang had two of them, and Fairy Lychee had given them to him as a meeting gift. But now, he had used both of them.
"Ding, ding, ding, ding!"
The silver-armored female guard's sword continuously slashed at the barrier. Sparks flew everywhere, but they couldn't break through the barrier.
Inside the barrier, Song Shuhang secretly heaved a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Lady Onion. You saved my life once again. "
At the crucial moment, Lady Onion activated another talisman, saving Song Shuhang's life.
"You've been really unlucky recently," Lady Onion mocked.
"I know … the area between my eyebrows has turned black recently." Song Shuhang clenched his teeth and endured the pain. Then, he stopped rolling and quickly crawled back to the shore of the Jade Lake.
"Ding, ding, ding ~"
Behind him, the swords of the female guards continuously slashed at his barrier.
Even the powerful barrier he used to play dead started to crack.
The offensive strength of the female guards of the Jade Lake was around the Fifth Stage Realm. However, the weapons in their hands weren't ordinary. Moreover, their attack speed was too fast, and there were many of them.
Therefore, the powerful barrier he used to play dead was about to break down.
… …
… …
Three breaths later.
Song Shuhang smoothly crawled back to the shore of the Jade Lake, gasping for breath. There were six sword wounds on his body, so deep that his bones could be seen.
His body tempering technique and protective daoist robe didn't have much effect in the face of attacks of the Fifth Stage Realm. Moreover, there were six cuts on his daoist robe.
Had he been a step late, he would have been strangled to death by the swords of those female guards.
Luckily, the female guards of the Jade Lake stopped attacking after returning to the shore, resuming their 'defensive' state.
Once again, the two sides were staring at each other.
Song Shuhang took out a healing elixir and applied it externally. Then, he activated the 'healing spell' on the bronze ring to heal his wounds.
"Grandmaster of the Divine Beast Department, don't challenge our bottom line again. If you do this again, we won't spare your life, "the silver-armored female guard raised her head and said in a deep voice.
Judging from her tone, it seemed that they had been lenient in the previous wave of attacks.
"Sure enough, you are not inflexible NPCs." Song Shuhang laughed out loud.
After saying that, another question occurred to Song Shuhang.
He could understand what the silver-armored female guard said. She didn't speak in the ancient language, but the official language of modern Huaxia. When he heard what the female guard said for the first time, he didn't think of this problem for a moment.
So, the 'official language' he heard was converted by these female guards through some kind of 'translation' spell?
Or, did these 'female guards' communicate with the outside world? At least, they knew about the outside world through some means?
"Grandmaster of the Divine Beast Department, leave this place. This is not a place you should set foot in. "The silver-armored female guard said again.
Song Shuhang laughed and sat cross-legged on the shore. Of course, to prevent himself from rolling down again, he moved back a bit.
At the same time, he said to the talisman, "Senior White, Shiliu. I found a suspicious valley just now. My current position is still on the edge of the dried up Jade Lake. "
"Are you okay? I heard your scream just now." Shiliu Su was worried.
Song Shuhang said, "There was an accident, but it's not dangerous."
"Wait, I'll go back immediately." Venerable White said.
After ending the communication, Song Shuhang looked at the female guard under him and said, "Ahem, do you know that the Great Ming Dynasty has fallen?"
The silver-armored female guard was speechless.
"What I mean is, do you know that the ancient Heavenly City has fallen?" Song Shuhang said. "The Heavenly City has already fallen, so what's the point of you guarding the Jade Lake?"

Elder Lushan Street of the Limitless Demon Sect had a dark expression on his face as he stood up.
