"Not good."
At the entrance of the forbidden ground, the old general who had been sunbathing and dozing off all day sighed.
The mirage water screen suddenly became like a pool of stagnant water. It no longer showed any scenes.
Of course, he knew that the mirage water screen was like this because at least half of the mirage pearls placed in the forbidden ground of Fallen Moon had been damaged.
The mirage water screen and the mirage pearls were a set of strange illusory formations.
As long as more than half of the mirage pearls were damaged, this illusory formation would naturally lose its effect.
Losing its effect meant that the other mirage pearls could not establish a connection with the mirage water screen.
It also meant that Li Yuchan, who had stepped into the forbidden ground, could not casually communicate with him through the mirage pearls.
"That's strange."
The old general looked to the east and murmured, "Recently, our relationship with the Scarlet Sun Empire has been pretty good. Zhou Cangmin is busy breaking through, and the Radiance Empire's army is approaching. How can the Scarlet Sun Empire have the spare energy to interfere with our forbidden ground trial? "
The timing of this trial had always been calculated.
The Silver Moon Empire's greatest enemy was in a terrible state. The State Preceptor Zhou Cangmin was still in seclusion. No matter how one looked at it, they should not have chosen to make a big fuss at this stage.
However, the last message the old general received from Li Yuchan had confirmed a fact.
— There were indeed outsiders who had infiltrated the forbidden ground.
The old general was not in a hurry earlier because the mirage water screen was still working. He wanted to see through the water screen to see who the intruder was.
Then, he would decide if he should personally enter the forbidden ground.
Now, the mirage water screen could no longer reflect the forbidden ground. He had lost contact with Li Yuchan. He had to be careful.
"Li Xi."
He sat up from the recliner and called softly.
A heavily armored guard ran over from afar. He knelt on one knee and shouted with his head down, "Li Xi, heed my orders!"
"Inform His Majesty that outsiders have infiltrated the forbidden ground." The old general sighed and said with an ashamed expression, "Who are they? What are their realms? How many of them? How did they infiltrate? I know nothing."
Li Xi looked up and said in shock, "This?"
"Cut the crap. Go back and report to His Majesty." The old general flew into a rage out of humiliation.
"Understood."
… …
Li Yuchan wandered alone in the silver-white wilderness.
"Whoosh! Hu hu! "
Invisible gusts of wind howled like ghosts and howled like wolves, covering an area of three miles around her.
Wherever the strong winds passed, long and thin marks appeared on the hard ground.
It was as if a sharp blade had slashed across.
If Li Yu were here, he would know that his aunt's soul blades had spontaneously formed a storm and wreaked havoc in all directions.
Her Soul Blades would not harm cultivators who had not reached the Subtle realm, as long as she intentionally suppressed them.
If a person with refined spiritual sense happened to be nearby, they would be instantly sensed and attacked by many soul blades.
"Who is it?"
Li Yuchan's mood turned gloomier and more irritable.
The volcano in her heart was on the verge of erupting.
Along the way, all the mirage pearls she saw exploded into dust. She couldn't even contact the mirage water curtain.
Knowing the mysteries of the Mirage Water Curtain and the Mirage Pearls, she certainly knew that more than half of the Mirage Pearls in the forbidden area had been destroyed by the invaders.
She found even more corpses of trial takers, including the teams from the cities and the members of the five major clans.
She had a feeling that the outsiders who had infiltrated the forbidden area had learned of her existence. That was why they had quickly destroyed the remaining Mirage Pearls and blinded her and the people outside.
The intruders were either deliberately hiding from her or deliberately misleading her so that she could not find the truth.
The feeling of not knowing who the enemy was, of being secretly schemed against, and of not being able to meet the other party for a long time, and of not even knowing where the surviving trial takers were, made her very frustrated.
She quickly realized that she had probably run into an expert.
"This trial ground is only a small part of the forbidden area of Fallen Moon. I don't believe that I can't find you!"
Gusts of wind howled even more violently.
The range of her Soul Blades instantly increased by three times!
In that area, as long as there were signs of life or souls, as long as they existed, she would immediately sense them.
… …
"Yan Lu!"
Yuan Ting raised his head. When he discovered that the missing person was actually a trial taker from the Yan Clan, he secretly let out a sigh of relief.
Li Yu had been gone for a day and a night.
During this time, other teams had been found by Li Yu one after another, and had been invited to join him.
Han Hui and Wu Ji from Cold Moon City had also arrived half a day ago after meeting Li Yu.
The fact that even Yan Lu and the other members of the Yan Clan had chosen to follow Li Yu's advice was enough to prove how terrifying the situation was.
Face grim, Yan Lu remained silent the entire way to the bottom of the pit.
Yu Yuan, Zhao Yafu, Yuan Ting, and the others all leaned against the cold, stone wall at the bottom of the pit. After Yan Lu and his clansmen had all come down, he realized why Yan Lu's expression was so grim.
Three people were missing from Yan Lu's side.
The members of the five major clans usually dared to split up and move around, relying on their profound strength.
The three Yan Clan members who were missing from Yan Lu's side must have been killed, just like the missing members of the Su Clan and the Li Clan.
"We met Li Yu. Li Yu said that we were unlucky this time. "After a moment of silence, Yan Lu suddenly turned to look at Su Yan.
In his eyes, among the people at the bottom of the pit, only Su Yan was qualified to talk to him as an equal.
Although he knew that Yu Yuan was strange and mysterious, Yu Yuan's realm was low and the Yu Clan was too weak. He didn't think that Yu Yuan could fight against him like Su Yan.
"Could it be the Scarlet Sun Empire's infiltrators?"
He frowned deeply. Knowing the inside story, he said again, "The Scarlet Sun Empire should be busy with their own affairs. Why would they have the energy to mess around with us? Aren't they afraid that we will work together with the Hui Yao Empire? "
"The battles between the Scarlet Sun Empire and the Hui Yao Empire are usually short," Su Yan said. "In the long history of the Scarlet Sun Empire, because our territories are too close, we are their longest and biggest enemy."
Yan Lu snorted. "I think they are crazy! Zhou Cangmin is still in seclusion. Without the Imperial Preceptor presiding over the situation, don't you know what kind of price they will have to pay for provoking our two great empires? "
"If the Scarlet Sun Empire received Zhou Cangmin's promise to break through in a short period of time, do you think they would be afraid?" Su Yan asked.
"Break through in a short period of time? From the Middle Soul Traversing Realm to the Late Soul Traversing Realm? "Yan Lu's expression changed, and he suddenly became silent.
"Zhou Cangmin …"
When this name was mentioned, the so-called proud sons of heaven of the Silver Moon Empire all had bitter faces.
Just his name alone was like a towering mountain, pressuring everyone until they felt incomparably uncomfortable.
It seemed that the Imperial Preceptor of the Scarlet Sun Empire was really a demon in the Silver Moon Empire. No matter if it was the older generation or the younger generation, they could not avoid it.
"Li Yu once said that in this life, he will definitely kill Zhou Cangmin." Zhao Yafu said softly.
Yu Yuan was about to answer when his mind suddenly surged.
For some unknown reason, the sword rays imprinted on the bones of his arms became incomparably hot.
His two arms, in an instant, seemed to have become red hot iron.
It was only because he was wearing clothes that ordinary people could not see.
He did not say a word. He closed his eyes and focused his mind. With his Heavenly Soul that was gradually gaining intelligence, he tried to sense the emotions that were revealed in the sword rays.
In the past few days, he would often take out the white paper fan and use the four black words on it to continue condensing his Heavenly Soul.
He had a faint feeling that the cleansing of his Heavenly Soul might be more useful than the strengthening of his physique during this period.
The Heavenly Soul could comprehend the sorrowful concept of the white paper fan and could also capture the fluctuations of thought that came from the sword rays.
"Run!"
"Leave this place and don't gather with the main group."
"Leave this place and go deep into the forbidden area that has not been opened."
"If you don't leave, you will die."
"Run! Run far away! "
"…"
He was able to decipher pieces of fragmented messages from the numerous sword lights that were floating in the air.
When the burning sensation faded, he could no longer sense any abnormal movements from the sword rays.
However, the messages that he had obtained had already caused his entire body to turn cold, causing him to be unable to cultivate calmly.
