A young man in a purple robe was holding a wooden flute with both hands and playing it softly. However, the strange thing was that no matter how hard the young man played, the wooden flute did not make any sound. Or perhaps, the sound it made could not be heard by humans?
"You are?"
Ye Fanchen, who was put down on the ground by a group of black beetles, looked at the young man who was playing the wooden flute in a daze.
The young man was startled. He slowly put down the wooden flute in his hand and said expressionlessly, "You can call me Master Gu. You can call me 'hey' or 'you' or something like that."
Master Gu twirled the wooden flute in his hand and put it back on his waist. His movements were smooth and without any hesitation.
Ye Fanchen narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the young man who called himself 'Master Gu'. He could not figure out his background.
"I have no grudge against you. I just have a score to settle with that old bastard Tong Xin."
Master Gu lifted the hem of his purple robe and sat cross-legged on the ground. He said in a deep voice, "Tong Xin will be here soon. You will distract me if you stay here. Let's go."
"Oh —"
Ye Fanchen pondered for a moment. He turned around and walked in the direction he came from. However, his angle was slightly off. Obviously, he did not intend to go back the way he came.
Master Gu twitched the corner of his mouth slightly. He raised his right hand at Ye Fanchen's back and said in a deep voice, "Wait!"
"What's the matter?" Ye Fanchen slowly turned his head, "I can't beat Tong Xin. I won't bother you. I'll take my leave first! Goodbye! "
Hearing Ye Fan Chen's straightforward words, the Gu Master almost spat out a mouthful of blood!
"This is for you!"
Master Gu suddenly took out a gray stone from his bosom and said in a low voice, "I may not be able to keep Tong Xin here. If he can go back, he will definitely find trouble with you. When that time comes, grind this gray stone into powder and scatter it on the ground. Naturally, divine soldiers will descend from the sky!"
With that, Master Gu threw the grey stone to Ye Fanchen and said in a low voice, "A swordsman can live without anything but a sword. I have prepared a sword to replace Qian Xuan under your bed in your room. The name of the sword is Qian Yu!"
Ye Fanchen frowned slightly, but still reached out to catch the stone that Master Gu threw over.
He didn't want to ask why Master Gu helped him, and he didn't want to know if Master Gu and Tong Xin really had a grudge against each other. Now that the situation was favorable, he should quit while he was ahead!
He had lived for a long time and was naturally different from those hotheads who had just entered the Jianghu. He wouldn't want to get to the bottom of everything.
In any case, a person who simply had a grudge against Tong Xin definitely wouldn't know him in such detail. He even knew the name of his sword and was able to prepare a sword that could replace Qian Xuan before Tong Xin made his move.
Behind all of this, there was clearly an invisible hand controlling all of this.
"Mm."
Ye Fanchen nodded gently and walked in the direction of the Imperial City without looking back.
The scenery behind him was crazily crumbling and breaking into pieces and disappearing without a trace. The speed of the crumbling was extremely fast, and it caught up with Ye Fanchen in an instant!
When Ye Fanchen's foot landed, the yellow mud that should have felt thick suddenly gave off a soft feeling!
Ye Fanchen looked down and saw a circle of ripples spreading out from under his feet. The rocks and earth along the way had all turned into barren gray water!
"This is … a dream!?"
Ye Fanchen was shocked. He suddenly understood why he felt a familiar yet strange feeling!
All of this had happened a long time ago. Furthermore, there were many things that defied common sense in the dream. For example, he had been stabbed countless times by the police in the administrative bureau, and those black beetles had pierced into his flesh. From start to end, he didn't feel a trace of pain!
How could a person who was dreaming feel pain?
Thinking of this, Ye Fanchen suddenly felt his sea of vital energy gradually filling up. His cultivation level entered the early stage of the Chaotic Realm, and large amounts of memories flooded into his mind.
This dream was over. Everything was collapsing. If Ye Fanchen still couldn't find the exit when this dream completely collapsed, then he would be trapped in this gray and hazy dream world forever!
Because the exit of the dream world was also a part of this dream world! It, too, could collapse!
"The exit of the dream world … the exit of the dream world …"
Ye Fanchen began to rapidly search his mind, constantly searching for the place that defied common sense in this dream world!
Imperial Street!
This dream world started at Imperial Street, so the exit must be in Imperial Street!
Ye Fanchen was overjoyed. The spiritual energy in his body quickly exploded, and a gust of wind blew past his ears. He rushed towards the direction of the Imperial City!
Tong Xin's men surrounded Imperial Street and closed all the shops, but … they wouldn't give Tong Xin face!
After connecting all the clues together, Ye Fanchen quickly connected the dots to the exit of this dream world. His speed increased exponentially, even exceeding the speed at which the dream world was collapsing!
This time, the person who pulled him into the dream world didn't seem to want to trap him in the dream world!
Compared to trapping him, the person who pulled him into the dream world seemed to want him to experience what happened in the past again!
"Could it be that he wants me to notice something?" Ye Fanchen stroked his chin, "Even if I notice it, what can I do?"
To be able to pull someone into the dream world, this kind of ability was unheard of in the current world. Perhaps only in an even more ancient era, when the ten great demon kings ruled this world, there was a strong person who could control the power of dreams!
One of the ten great demon kings, Dream Awakening Demon King — Die Sheng!
But the era of the ten great demon kings had already passed. The Dream Awakening Demon King of the past was now a character in the legends of the wilderness. How could he appear here?
"Could it be that the person who pulled me into the dream wants me to be careful of Master Gu? Or maybe Tong Xin is back? "
With a stomach full of questions, Ye Fanchen reached out and pushed open the door. A blinding white light suddenly swept out from behind the door, directly enveloping Ye Fanchen!
In a daze, Ye Fanchen felt his vision darken, and his entire body was exhausted.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't seem to open his tightly shut eyes. After struggling for a while, Ye Fanchen only felt a wave of dizziness.
