Terrifying Dreamland
This scene appeared too suddenly. Even Chu Xingyun himself found it hard to recover from the shock.
He stared at the direction where the black smoke disappeared. Without saying a word, he rushed out at full speed. A storm of sword aura bloomed, lingering around his body. Everywhere he passed, it turned into a mess.
"Wait for me!" Qian Yuxin shouted. Without hesitation, she rode her sword and quickly followed Chu Xingyun's footsteps.
Suddenly, an extremely strange scene appeared in the secret realm.
At the front, a black smoke shrouded the Spirit Awakening Grass, crazily rushing forward. Behind it, Chu Xingyun and Qian Yuxin were chasing one after the other. They had no intention of stopping.
After about fifteen minutes, Chu Xingyun and Qian Yuxin, who were chasing the black smoke, finally left the dense forest. They looked around and saw an incomparably magnificent palace.
This palace occupied a large area. There were nine towering stone pillars. On the stone pillars, there were mountains, rivers, birds and beasts carved on them. They were obscure and mysterious, emitting bursts of ancient charm that made people want to bow down and worship them.
Whoosh!
The black smoke suddenly sped up. The moment it entered the palace, it turned into nothingness. Along with the Spirit Awakening Grass, it disappeared without a trace. It was as if it had never existed.
"Why aren't you chasing?" Seeing that Chu Xingyun had stopped, Qian Yuxin also slowed down her footsteps.
Chu Xingyun pointed forward and said, "There's someone."
"Someone?"
Qian Yuxin was stunned. He looked ahead and saw that there was a long bridge outside the huge palace. On the long bridge, there was a thin figure who was slowly crossing the bridge.
When she saw the figure's face, Qian Yuxin suddenly exclaimed, "Old Gu!"
Her pupils shrank as she shouted a few more times. However, Old Gu did not seem to hear her. He continued to walk forward slowly, as if he was going to enter the palace.
"It seems a little strange." Qian Yuxin and Chu Xingyun came to the front of the long bridge. There were a few ancient characters engraved on the bridge, but they could no longer be seen clearly. Under the bridge, there was a strange black river. It was quiet and serene, presenting a deathly stillness.
The spiritual energy that Qian Yuxin emitted was immediately swallowed by the black river water and disappeared without a trace.
"There is a restriction placed on the bridge. It's impossible to investigate. The people on the bridge are also shrouded by this restriction. They can't feel our existence." Qian Yuxin glanced at Chu Xingyun and asked, "Do you have a way to break it?"
Chu Xingyun's eyes flashed with a thoughtful light. He was about to speak.
Suddenly, a thick black smoke gushed out from the river under the bridge and spread out. It was like a pitch-black monster that was about to devour Chu Xingyun and Qian Yuxin in an instant.
"Break for me!" Chu Xingyun condensed his Spiritual Power, and the Ten Thousand Beast Fire roared out from his palm. When the scorching flame touched the black smoke, it instantly burned it into nothingness. It disappeared into thin air, and not a trace of it remained.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
However, just as the black smoke dissipated, another one enveloped over, and the momentum was even more chaotic.
Chu Xingyun blasted out his palm again. The flame burned and broke it easily. There was no difficulty at all. However, the more it was so, the more he felt strange.
Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out from the black smoke. The moment Chu Xingyun heard it, his whole body trembled.
He fixed his eyes and found that he was no longer on the long bridge, but in a courtyard. Here, the door was made of firewood, and the fence was sparse. The whole courtyard was covered with weeds, which made it look somewhat desolate.
"Chu Xingyun, from now on, you and I are no longer friends!"
The familiar voice rang out again. In front of Chu Xingyun, Shui Liu Xiang stood there, holding a shiny dagger in her hand. Her eyes were filled with rage, and her body was emitting a dense killing intent.
"A complete piece of trash dares to have designs on my Shui Family. You really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth!" Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter. They were all from the Shui Family, and all of them had sinister smiles on their faces.
Chu Xingyun clenched his fists and looked around. He muttered, "It's actually an illusion."
"Could it be that you've become a lunatic because of the blow? You actually said that this is an illusion. You're really making me laugh!" Shui Qianyue stood beside Shui Liu Xiang and sneered, "Sister Liuxiang, let's kill this piece of trash immediately and clear the name of our Shui Family."
"Alright!" Shui Liu Xiang turned around and raised her dagger, thrusting it towards Chu Xingyun's heart. At the same time, she said in a sinister voice, "Chu Xingyun, how can a piece of trash like you be worthy of me? Go to hell!"
Swoosh!
The dagger emitted a cold light, causing the surrounding air to turn cold. However, Chu Xingyun had no intention of dodging. He just looked at the dagger as it pierced towards his heart. His eyes were as calm as still water, without the slightest ripple.
Puchi!
Shui Liu Xiang pierced the dagger into Chu Xingyun's heart. Hot blood spurted out and stained Chu Xingyun's face. There was still the warm blood and the smell of blood.
When the surrounding crowd saw this scene, they all took half a step back and started cursing. Their voices were so loud that it was like a whirlpool, causing people to be completely lost in it.
Chu Xingyun felt a sharp pain in his body. Beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, but he still opened his eyes wide and shone brightly. "What a realistic illusion. It actually simulated all senses. Even a person with a rock-solid willpower would be confused. Unfortunately, this level of illusion is far from enough to stump me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Xingyun's eyes shone brightly. Behind him, the spiritual sword broke through the air and cut everything in front of him. Shui Liu Xiang, the courtyard, Shui Qianyue, everything disappeared.
Chu Xingyun suddenly opened his eyes, only to find that his feet were already on the long bridge.
A wisp of black smoke enveloped his body. It followed the momentum and was about to invade his eyes and enter his mind.
"Burn!" Chu Xingyun shouted in a low voice. The Ten Thousand Beast Fire immediately burned the black smoke. Suddenly, Qian Yuxin and Elder Gu, who were walking on the long bridge, became limp and fell heavily on the bridge.
"What's going on?" Qian Yuxin woke up and looked around blankly.
"The black smoke from before seemed to contain some sort of illusion. As long as the black smoke touched the body or breathed in the slightest, you would fall into an illusion. Once you lose consciousness in the illusion, you would completely sink into it and be unable to wake up." Chu Xingyun gently flicked his finger and burned away the last strand of black smoke.
Qian Yuxin felt a lingering fear after hearing this. She touched her forehead with lingering fear.
Just now, she fell into the illusion and was almost pierced between her eyebrows.
