Cang Yun stuffed a large number of talismans into Su Murong's hands and severely injured him. Su Murong could not hold on any longer and fell to the ground with a loud bang. His eyes were filled with confusion and sorrow."Fifth Junior Brother, why are you doing this?”
Cang Yun looked at Su Murong's left hand that was like a black ghost claw and said coldly, Because you're not my Eldest Senior Brother."
"Is it because of my left hand?" Su Murong asked with a sad smile.”
Cang Yun nodded silently. Su Murong laughed at himself."Fifth Junior Brother, do you know why my left hand has become like this?”
Cang Yun shook his head. Su Murong sighed and said,"Do you think it's that easy for me to escape from the Illusory Formation? I ate the food the demon gave me and only noticed the abnormality when the ghost power entered my body. Previously, I used sword qi to suppress the ghost power. Now that my physical strength and magic power are insufficient, I can no longer suppress the ghost power in my body. That's why my left hand has become like a ghost claw.”
Cang Yun's expression changed and he muttered,"But Eldest Senior Brother's words won't let me face the enemy no matter what, even if it's just to stall the enemy."”
"Fifth Junior Brother, why would I want you to face it? "However, I've been corroded by the ghost power and can't explain it to you. I'm afraid that the demons will hear me. As long as they only defend and don't attack, when the time comes, I won't be able to suppress the ghost power anymore. We'll definitely die at the hands of the demons. Besides, I believe in your strength." Su Murong smiled as he looked at Cang Yun. His eyes were filled with sorrow and forgiveness.
Cang Yun felt like he was struck by lightning as he muttered,"So that's how it is, so that's how it is. I actually killed Eldest Senior Brother with my own hands."”Unable to hold it in for a moment, she could no longer stand still. She pounced towards Su Murong, who was lying on the ground on the verge of death, sobbing non-stop. "Fifth Junior Brother, how could Senior Brother blame you?" Su Murong raised his hand with difficulty.”As he spoke, he wanted to stroke Cang Yun's back. He did not manage to touch it, and Cang Yun disappeared. Su Murong saw that his chest was densely covered with Fire Talismans and Thunder Talismans.
"Junior Brother, what are you doing?" Su Murong was shocked.”
Cang Yun, who had already retreated a few meters, did not answer. He directly chanted "Fire" and "Thunder".
Boom! Crack!
"You're too cruel!"
Su Murong was severely injured once again. He was on his last breath and did not even have the strength to speak.
Cang Yun touched the sweat on his forehead and said,"Sometimes my brain short-circuits, but it's not that I don't have a brain." How can you learn Eldest Senior Brother's expression?”
Su Murong, who was completely black, slowly turned into stone, cracked, and finally turned into ashes. With a gust of wind, he disappeared from the world.
"If you hadn't transformed into Eldest Senior Brother, I wouldn't even be bothered to talk to you."”Looking around, the scenery didn't change. He knew that he was still trapped in the illusion formation. He couldn't go back to the Clear Sword Monastery, so Cang Yun had no idea how to break this illusion formation.
The surrounding scenery was exactly the same as the real Clear Sword Mountain. Cang Yun could only walk down the mountain aimlessly.
"Can we really walk to Yunlai Town? Is there anyone in town?" Cang Yun suddenly had such an idea and walked faster and faster, wanting to confirm this groundless idea. Even Cang Yun himself knew that this idea was ridiculous, but it was better than not having any grass.
They arrived at Old Xu's tea stall again.
The signboard was still there, the table was still there, and it was covered in dust. It was very desolate, and the sun was about to set. The earth was dark, and Cang Yun was panicking. He looked at the lonely signboard of the tea stall, which looked like the ghost claw of the fake Su Murong before he died. He did not want to stay any longer and quickened his pace in the direction of Yunlai Town.
After walking for a while, Cang Yun once again passed by the forest where Zhu Hao appeared. Looking at the dark forest, he had an impulse: Was there anyone in Lingshou Village? What would happen if I walked into King Wude's mausoleum again? This impulse was extremely intense. Cang Yun could not suppress it and walked into the forest.
There was no light in the deep forest, no birds or beasts, no light, and no cold wind. At first, Cang Yun walked slowly to prevent any demons from hiding behind the trees. However, he gradually couldn't stand the pressure of the environment and walked faster and faster. In the end, he started to run wildly. The scenery along the way rapidly retreated. After running for nearly two hours, Cang Yun once again stood at the entrance of Lingshou Village.
Silence, deathly silence.
There was no longer a glimmer of light in the village. There was no sound. There were no dark clouds in the sky, but no starlight.
A shrill scream pierced through the night sky. Cang Yun quivered. When he heard the shrill scream, he did not feel fear, but ecstasy. Finally, there was someone alive.
Cang Yun flew to the place where the sound came from, but there was nothing there. There was no human figure or ghost shadow.
Cang Yun looked up to the sky and roared,"Heaven, give me a ghost."”
There was no response from the heavens.
Another scream sounded. Cang Yun was shocked and ran over at an even faster speed, but there was still nothing. Miserable screams could be heard from the village from time to time. Cang Yun ran a few times but could not find anyone, so he stopped chasing.
"Where? Where is it?" Cang Yun began to frantically push open the doors of the villagers, but there was nothing.
He walked to the last house in the village, but he did not see anyone. Moreover, the furniture in the villager's house was dilapidated, and it looked like it had been there for decades. Cang Yun walked out of the last house dejectedly. He turned around and saw the cave entrance on the hillside not far away. It was like a devil's cave.
"Whether he's dead or alive, I don't care. Go in!”Cang Yun made up his mind, he didn't care about life or death, he wanted to escape this strange situation. Fortunately, although the villagers were no longer around, the things were still there. Cang Yun collected some tattered clothes and wrapped them tightly around a wooden stick. He found some oil and soaked the clothes in it for a while before making a simple torch. He lit it and rushed into the cave.
Following the route of the ghost chase in the cave, Cang Yun returned to the big pit from before. He found that the rope ladder was still there. Cang Yun couldn't care less and climbed down the rope ladder. He entered the hole at the bottom of the pit and jumped down, stepping onto the walls of the Mausoleum of Wude again.
"I'm back here again." Cang Yun released a Fire God Talisman, illuminating the interior of the mausoleum. It was still the same as when they first came in.
"I wonder if that hole is still there?”Cang Yun looked for the hole along the wall, and sure enough, the hole was still there. Without thinking, Cang Yun jumped down the hole and ran down the stairs. Soon, the stone beast-head door appeared in front of Cang Yun again.
Cang Yun panted heavily as he stared at the stone beast head. Recalling the power of the lightning on the beast head, he knew that even if he consumed the Jade Origin Dew, he would not be able to withstand the power of the lightning. Cang Yun thought back to the time when they had charged through the door. The beast head had already said that it wanted to leave. It was very likely that it no longer had the ability to release lightning. He made up his mind and charged!
Cang Yun closed his eyes and sped up, wanting to rush through the door.
As soon as he reached the door, the stone beast's voice came from the air,"Those who trespass into the royal tomb will be killed without mercy."
Cang Yun suddenly opened his eyes, and his pupils shot out a dozen lightning bolts flying towards him. His eyes were filled with despair. At this moment, even if he wanted to consume the Jade Origin Dew, there was not enough time.
Boom ~ Thunder struck the clouds
Cang Yun suddenly opened his eyes and found himself covered in cold sweat. He was sitting on the square with a green stone tablet behind him. It was the square where he had cultivated with his fellow disciples. Cang Yun's heart was still pounding. Was it just a dream? Not an illusion formation? Cang Yun heaved a sigh of relief. He looked around and saw no sign of Su Murong and the others.
"This, this!" Cang Yun was even more shocked."Senior Brother, Senior Sister, Junior Sister, where are you?”The echo echoed, but there was no reply.
Was it just a dream? Was it an illusion array now? Or was it a dream?
Cang Yun's senses could no longer help him distinguish everything.
Cang Yun tried his best to calm his mind and adapt his eyes to the dark environment. He walked not far ahead and saw that there was still an entrance to the tunnel not far ahead. There was not only one entrance, but a row of entrances. The middle entrance was the largest. Cang Yun no longer had the concept of danger in his heart. He only wanted to move forward. Any place was fine, as long as it was not where he was now.
Walking into the entrance of the tunnel with slow steps, what greeted him was endless darkness. Cang Yun didn't light up the place and continued to advance in the darkness. Fortunately, there were no obstacles in front of him, and the tunnel was straight. Cang Yun was not injured even when he walked in the dark. After walking for an unknown amount of time, they reached the end of the tunnel. Light pierced into the tunnel.
Cang Yun almost cried tears of joy. A force appeared in the depths of his exhausted body, urging Cang Yun to run.
The light blinded Cang Yun for a moment, but when he regained his vision, the scene in front of him made him collapse.
The corpses of Su Murong and the others were nailed to six large wooden pillars. The corpse hung high in the air with its limbs hanging down. There was only a huge black iron nail that had pierced through the chest of the corpse and nailed it firmly onto the wooden pillar. Fresh blood flowed down the wooden pillar and had long solidified. The six corpses were lifeless. Their hair was disheveled, and their faces were filled with horror.
Sad? Fear? You don't believe me? Shock? No words were enough to describe Cang Yun's current feelings.
Slowly kneeling on the ground, Cang Yun finally couldn't hold it in any longer. He sobbed softly, his hands firmly gripping the ground. Blood flowed out, but Cang Yun couldn't feel any pain. After a moment of silence, Cang Yun let out a long howl towards the sky, as if he wanted to express all his emotions.
With a long roar, the entire world shattered like a mirror and sank. Only a piece of green stone under Cang Yun's feet remained. What replaced the ground was rolling white lava. The brick ceiling above his head shattered and rose up, replaced by an endless red sky. Cang Yun smelled the pungent smell of sulfur in the lava and felt the extreme heat. He couldn't help but ask himself, was this still a dream? Or an illusion formation? The high-temperature threads were real. There was no doubt that he would instantly turn into ashes if he entered the lava.
Was death a release? For the ten-year-old Cang Yun, he couldn't think of a better way.
Jump, jump and you'll be free. Cang Yun didn't know if the voice came from the depths of his heart or from the void. He was already unable to distinguish. This voice was imbued with magic. Cang Yun slowly stood up, his eyes glazed over as he was about to step into the lava.
A crisp sound of a bell rang out from the sky. It sounded like the sound of a red hairpin on a woman's head colliding. Cang Yun's eyes instantly regained clarity and stopped in his tracks. The surroundings were still filled with lava and high temperatures, but Cang Yun no longer had the urge to jump down.
"Junior Brother, wake up!" Su Murong's voice came from the void.
Cang Yun excitedly looked up at the sky. It was still a crimson red sky.
"Eldest Senior Brother!" Cang Yun shouted.
A clear light slowly penetrated the red sky and slowly tore it apart. Cang Yun only felt that the scenery in front of him was getting clearer and clearer. In his hazy eyes, he finally saw Su Murong covering his forehead with sword qi, as well as the slightly nervous gaze of his eldest senior brother and the concerned faces of his fellow disciples.
She finally woke up from her dream.
Or was it another dream?
