As soon as Zhu Feng thought of this, the scenery in front of her changed abruptly. Her expression changed slightly as she realized that they were not returning to the inner layer, but to the depths of the Void!
What made her even more vigilant was, what exactly was it that caused their senses to be distorted?
At this time, Mei Shang also realized that something was wrong. He thought for a moment and said with a solemn expression, "Fellow Zhu, I'm afraid we've encountered an Evil God's confusion."
As early as Tianxia's first encounter with the Evil God of the Void, he discovered that the Evil God had the ability to confuse people's senses. This was also the reason why the Evil God was difficult to deal with. If one's mind was not firm and was slightly distracted, it would be easy to be confused. However, generally speaking, because Xuan Zun was strong in all aspects, even if one fell into a trap, the Evil God would usually be the one to die in the end.
However, the situation this time was different. They could not tell when they had fallen into the confusion, which showed that the Evil God they encountered this time was different from the ones they had encountered in the past.
Zhu Feng said, "Immediately turn the ship around and return …"
However, she stopped when she reached this point. She suddenly realized that the barrier had appeared silently, and it did not mean that she would be able to break through it just because she recognized its existence. She thought that she had seen the truth, but this perception might have been partially distorted. Before she was completely sure, she absolutely could not act rashly.
She immediately took out a long incense from her sleeve. This was the "Tranquil Incense" that she brought from Shouzheng Palace. It could eliminate doubts and thoughts, and was used to prevent confusion.
After she lit the incense, she slightly channeled her power and immediately felt a cooling sensation between her eyebrows. Her consciousness also cleared up. She immediately called a female disciple and said, "Send the message just now to Xuanting again."
The female disciple responded with an "Oh", but stood still in a daze.
Zhu Feng knew that something was wrong. She looked outside and found that all the disciples were standing there in a daze, like puppets.
She frowned. She knew that these disciples were still lost in the confusion because of their weak cultivation. Even the Tranquil Incense would not be of much use.
If they were forcefully awakened, it might cause damage to their minds and souls. Although she did not value these disciples, she did not want to harm their lives. Thus, she lightly flicked her sleeve, causing them to fall unconscious one by one.
She raised her head and said, "Mei Shouzheng, although I've already ordered my disciple to send a message to Xuanting to inform them of our return, I don't know if Xuntian Dao Zhang will be able to break through the barrier and spread the news."
Mei Shang thought for a moment and said, "Zhu Shouzheng made an agreement with the outer layer on the sixth day?"
Zhu Feng said, "Yes."
When they came out this time, they attached great importance to their own safety, so naturally they would not be separated from Xuanting for a long time. They had already made an agreement with the Outer Guards; if they did not get involved for six days, then they must have encountered a difficult situation.
Mei Shang said, "It's definitely not appropriate to go out now. If the Evil God outside can immediately take the two of us down, then he doesn't need to use these tricks, nor does he need to divert my senses. As long as this magic tool outside is not broken, we won't panic, and he won't be able to do anything to us. I think there's no harm in us staying here and waiting for reinforcements. "
Zhu Feng said, "If the previous message is useless, and Xuanting realizes that something is wrong and then comes here, it will take eight to nine days at the earliest, and perhaps more than ten days at the latest. In that case, if we choose to stay here, then we might have to stay here for about half a month."
Mei Shang said, "How many Tranquil Incense do you have left?"
Zhu Feng said, "I only brought three, and one can last for three days." Under normal circumstances, three Tranquil Incense would be more than enough, but now it was not certain.
Mei Shang said, "We can only try our best to hold on. We can't panic ourselves first."
Zhu Feng nodded gently.
At this moment, Mei Shang suddenly sensed something. He looked outside, and Zhu Feng did the same. They saw a boundless black curtain shrouding them from the outside. The originally visible stars in the sky seemed to be covered by it, and they dimmed one by one.
However, under the spread of the Tranquil Incense, because they drove away part of the fog, they were able to see the most real side. They discovered that it was not a black curtain, but an incomparably huge and deep mouth.
At this very moment, this magic boat was plunging into the mouth, and the nearby stars all dimmed and were quickly swallowed into the mouth.
Zhu Feng and Mei Shang had attained Dao before Tianxia came to this world, and they were both Xuan Zun who had experienced many things. When they suddenly saw this dangerous scene, although their hearts trembled, they did not really panic.
The two of them looked at each other and immediately made hand seals, stopping the magic boat from plunging into the depths.
This was also the best choice at this moment.
Originally, the flying boat was still moving forward, but when it stopped, they immediately felt a powerful dragging force.
Suddenly being attacked by an external force, the two of them calmed down instead, because they had finally entered the path they were familiar with.
Mei Shang reacted quickly. He took out a copper seal from his sleeve and threw it down. Immediately, a mass of golden light spread out from under the two of them, instantly stopping the magic boat.
Zhu Feng was also someone with battle experience. At this moment, she did not make a move, but waited at the side, ready to respond at any time if she saw anything wrong.
However, after that, the force did not increase because of this, and no other changes occurred. The situation was in a deadlock.
However, the two of them felt that something was wrong. They turned to look at it at the same time and found that the first incense was about to burn out.
The two of them were shocked because this Tranquil Incense could burn for three days under normal circumstances, but they clearly felt that not much time had passed.
Zhu Feng checked again and said with certainty, "It's impossible for the Evil God to make me misjudge my own senses. The Tranquil Incense must've been disturbed by too many external forces, so it burned out so quickly."
Mei Shang nodded. He was more willing to believe this. If even their inner senses were affected, then they did not need to resist at all and could just wait to admit defeat. He said, "Like I said before, we can't panic."
In the time it took to say these two sentences, the incense had gradually reached its end. At the moment when it was about to burn out, Zhu Feng waved her sleeve and immediately replaced it with a new Tranquil Incense.
However, this one did not last for long. It felt like only a short while had passed, and only a short piece was left.
After a while, Zhu Feng took out a third Tranquil Incense and replaced it, saying, "This is the third one. If this incense is lost, then we can only rely on ourselves."
Mei Shang was silent.
Zhu Feng, on the other hand, sat down and calmed her heart.
She did not know why, but she suddenly remembered the time when her teacher taught her.
At that time, she was still a seven or eight year old girl. One day, she was called by her teacher to test her temperament. At that time, she also sat like this. Her teacher told her not to move even if the house collapsed.
She obediently agreed, and there were a few other little girls with her.
However, who knew that after her teacher left, the whole house would suddenly shake, and then the roof would collapse. She was very scared, but she listened to her teacher and did not run. However, some of the little girls stood up and ran out. Some were so frightened that they cried, and some were buried under the rubble. Fortunately, she was not injured.
When she came back to her senses, her teacher was standing in front of her again.
She asked her teacher, "Which choice is right?" Her teacher said that no choice was right. No matter what choice she made, it was fine as long as she felt that it was reasonable. The most taboo on the path of cultivation was to have uncertain thoughts. Before seeing the result, she must not be swayed.
Later on, she also asked, "Are those little girls who were knocked down really dead?" However, her teacher did not answer.
Later on, as her cultivation grew, she suddenly realized that there was no such thing as those little girls. Those people were actually her, and they were all the choices she had made in the depths of her heart.
She opened her eyes. Unknowingly, the third cigarette had burned out.
She said, "Mei Shouzheng …"
Her voice echoed in the empty flying boat, and it spread out into the distance. However, there was no response.
She turned her head to look. Unknowingly, Mei Shang, who should have been sitting there, had disappeared.
She looked outside, and her phoenix eyes focused. She saw countless slippery limbs with eyes wrapped around the flying boat, and slowly tightened the boat.
She did not panic in the slightest. She took out a secretly refined incense pill from her sleeve and gently rubbed it with her finger. As the powder floated up, a light fragrance wafted out. There was also a gentle mist that scattered outwards like the cool moonlight. Those slippery limbs were contaminated by the powder and turned into grayish-white brittle rocks. Piece by piece, they loosened and fell off, turning into scattered gravel.
However, more limbs climbed up. They came from the deep and dark void, as if they were endless.
Zhu Feng sat upright on the praying mat. She raised her finger and made a hand seal. After a moment, a bright light like the cold moon bloomed behind her, supporting the entire flying boat.
Those limbs retreated one after another, but after a while, thick and viscous black liquid spread out again. This deep darkness seemed to want to push people into the deepest and most profound dream.
The vast stars in the void disappeared without a trace. Everything was dark. The cold moon behind Zhu Feng was the only light in the dark night. However, at this moment, this light was gradually contaminated. Its color became darker and darker, and it was forced to shrink.
Just as the darkness was about to drown everything, suddenly, a ray of light as clear as water shone. It instantly tore apart the curtain of darkness, and it gradually retreated to the sides.
Zhu Feng looked up and saw a delicate and pretty Daoist who was shrouded in clear light appearing in the sky. Around him were wisps of bright light.
She recognized him, and her heart relaxed. She bowed and said, "Zhengqing Daoist greets you."
It was unknown when Mei Shang had appeared in her senses. She said in surprise, "Senior Martial Brother? Why are you here? "
Zhengqing Daoist looked down and said, "Junior Brother, Mei Shouzheng, follow me."
