Chapter 23: The Castle

Bai Xue crossed Mu Yan and stood in front.

At this time, Mu Yan had put away the fire snake, and without the raging flames, the dense poisonous crocodiles were like hungry wolves swarming like smelling blood.

He stood aside and watched her do it.

Of course, he was ready, and as soon as Bai Xue was no match, he would pick it up immediately.

Bai Xue stood quietly, took out Hei Xuan, and flicked her fingers. Then, I saw a phantasm appear next to her.

Phantom, Bai Xue was cast for the first time in reality, although the phantom was still not clear, but due to the improvement of cultivation, it was no longer difficult to cast it.

Her hands were slightly raised, and her waist was slightly bent.

As the phantom played, and the song sounded, she moved.

She stood on her tiptoes and danced in the wind, which ruffled her clothes and scattered her hair.

The waist is like a willow, and the dance is like a flutter.

Her eyes were faint, like a black elf dancing in the beautiful mountains, not in a swamp infested with poisonous crocodiles.

Mu Yan's pupils widened slightly behind her, and he looked at her dancing in shock, watching those poisonous crocodiles gradually disappear one by one, and then gradually retreat.

I have never seen this method of retreating from the enemy, could it be someone from the Imperial Spirit Sect? It's not right, if the people from the Imperial Spirit Sect are not with the people of the Imperial Spirit Sect, why don't you see her with the disciples of the Imperial Spirit Sect outside.

Snow walked forward like an elf, and the poisonous crocodile retreated like a tide along the way, and the phantom followed behind her.

Mu Yan put away his initial surprise and followed her, escorting her. Either way, it's good to have more combat power.

And Bai Xue didn't stop until he felt exhausted, and by this time the poisonous crocodiles had already dispersed more than halfway.

She turned her head to look at Mu Yan, although she didn't have any expression, Mu Yan just knew what she wanted to express.

A smile crossed his eyes, and his pursed lips hooked slightly: "There are two moments." ”

Bai Xue hummed softly in her heart, of course. But on the outside, his face is indifferent, so that people can't see the expression.

In this way, Bai Xue and Mu Yan alternated and cooperated to cross this swamp. On the way, if the spiritual energy is exhausted, it will be replenished with spirit stones, and since Mu Yan is also by her side, she can't blatantly absorb the demonic energy, but fortunately, her spirit stones are extremely rich.

After a period of time, Bai Xue and Mu Yan finally walked out of this swampy land.

Bai Xue looked back at the swamp, only to find that the sky on the swamp was a light purple under the erosion of the poisonous mist, and when he came to the edge of the swamp, he could still hear the dense screams of some poisonous crocodiles.

The road that Bai Xue and Mu Yan had walked just now was just a corner of this swampy place. It's hard to imagine how a single person could pass through this area.

Especially for immortal cultivators rather than demon cultivators, in this place where there is no spiritual energy replenishment, if the spirit stones are not enough, I am afraid that they will be consumed by that huge number of poisonous crocodiles.

Bai Xue and Mu Yan hit the road again, and after leaving the swamp, they came to a dark gray wasteland.

This wasteland bears a striking resemblance to the wasteland of the Illusion, with dark brown soil and sparse dead trees surrounding it.

If anything, the land of this wasteland is covered with many huge cracks and ravines. If you look at it from the air, you will see that these ravines and cracks seem to be man-made.

And as they walked, it was like in a fantasy world, with a flock of crows hovering above their heads.

Nor did they come close, occasionally landing on dead trees in their path.

Mu Yan and Bai Xue looked solemn.

And when a blood-red river appeared in front of them, Mu Yan and Bai Xue stopped in unison and spoke in unison,

"I'm real!"

"I'm real!"

It seems that not only Bai Xue has experienced that illusion, but Mu Yan has also experienced the same illusion.

Bai Xue raised her eyebrows: "Evidence." ”

Mu Yan frowned at his sword, thought for a while, and said, "I intercepted you, after the Wanbaoxuan auction came out. ”

Bai Xue jumped out of the corner of her eyes and nodded, it seems that this Mu Yan is real.

Now that he has determined that the other party is a real person, and not an illusion, he no longer doubts it, and plans to go to the blood river to have a look.

Bai Xue and Mu Yan are not people who are afraid of things, and they are not afraid to approach because of danger.

Walking in front of the river of blood, just like in the illusion, there was a strong smell of blood type, and there was a faint desire in my heart.

Bai Xue and Mu Yan were secretly vigilant, and both of them looked at the middle of the river at the same time to see if it had also changed like a fantasy.

Sure enough, after Bai Xue and Mu Yan looked over, the blood river in the middle of the river gradually diverged, and the riverbed gradually rose.

This made Bai Xue feel weird, which gave her the illusion that she was always circulating in this world. Which is true and which is false.

However, just as Snow was confused, the riverbed was exposed to them, but this time the riverbed was no longer three treasure chests, but a gate with carved reliefs, the gate was three people wide enough to allow three people to enter at once, and behind the gate was black and I didn't know where it led.

"Presumably, this is the real entrance to the secret realm. Mu Yan looked outside the blood river and said.

There is an endless wasteland around this blood river, but there is only one portal here, and anyone would guess that this may be the real entrance to the secret realm.

Mu Yan wanted to lift his feet and walk forward, but his hand was grabbed by Bai Xue.

He felt the softness on his wrist, his fingers moved slightly, and his face was not visible: "What?"

Bai Xue grabbed him, stretched out her hand and pointed to the river next to the gate, motioning for Mu Yan to look there.

When he looked up, he saw that there was a huge whirlpool of blood on the riverbed of the gate, and he didn't notice it because his eyes were drawn to the door at first.

Bai Xue looked at the whirlpool with a solemn face and said, "Believe me, this whirlpool is the real entrance, and I'm afraid it's not a good place behind that door." ”

Mu Yan couldn't detect anything, but because of the soul sound technique, she felt pain, sadness, bitterness, sorrow, and other emotions behind that door. And in that whirlpool, I felt a thick demonic aura. If this is a cave, then the vortex is the real entrance. And everything that lies ahead is a test.

Mu Yan did not object or agree, but quietly looked at her eyes outside the veil, and finally nodded.

Bai Xue breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him nodding, which showed that Mu Yan believed her words.

She could feel that behind that door was probably a murderous place, and because she knew that Mu Yan was the reason for Luo'an, she didn't want Mu Yan to die in her heart. And seeing that Mu Yan trusted her just because of her words, she felt a strange sense of comfort in her heart.

Now that he has received Mu Yan's affirmation, without further ado, Bai Xue plans to enter that whirlpool as soon as possible. She never let go of Mu Yan's wrist, and directly pulled him to leap into the swirling blood-colored river.

As soon as they entered the blood-colored river, Bai Xue and Mu Yan felt overwhelming pressure, and the blood and water around them frantically squeezed their bodies.

The blood was as heavy as mercury and as sharp as a blade, and the support of the aura shield that blocked the body was crushed and shattered in a short time. The mercury touched his body directly, and his skin immediately seemed to be cut by countless small knives, gurgling and bleeding.

Mu Yan's eyes narrowed when he found this scene, and he used his hands to encircle Bai Xue in his arms, blocking the blood with his body.

Bai Xue was stunned by him, and then saw his exposed skin covered with blood, and his eyes were complicated.

The former little boy also knows how to protect people, and he has become a big man.

At this moment, Bai Xue finally regarded Luo'an, who was stubborn and forbearant when he was a child, and Mu Yan, who is now arrogant and ruthless, as the same person, and the prejudice against Mu Yan in her heart gradually faded.

Mu Yan gradually sank in the whirlpool blood river with Bai Xue in his arms, and as he fell deeper and deeper into the bottom of the river, the pressure became greater and greater. Bai Xue could feel the tremendous pressure on Mu Yan leaning on his arms, because the hands that were protecting her had been blurred by the flesh cut by the blood. But Mu Yan never questioned her decision from beginning to end.

She broke free slightly, wanting to tell Mu Yan with her actions that she could do it, but he was restrained with more strength.

Bai Xue had no choice but to give up this idea and try to relax her body and lean into his arms to relieve his pressure.

I don't know how long it took, as if they had reached the limit of the depths of the river, Bai Xue and Mu Yan's feet stepped on the ground for the first time, and then their bodies sank into the ground with their legs, and when they felt the oppression disappear and opened their eyes, they found that they had escaped from the river of blood.

Bai Xue immediately broke free from Mu Yan's embrace, and without a sound, took out a bottle of elixir and applied it to his wound.

Mu Yan felt the empty embrace, ignored the strange loss in his heart, and said, "It's okay, I can heal myself." With that, he tried to remove the hand she had poured medicine on his wound.

Bai Xue held him down and glanced up at him: "Save aura." ”

Mu Yan stopped talking and obediently let her fiddle.

After Mu Yan's wounds were treated, Bai Xue had time to see where they had gone.

This look is full of admiration. Even Mu Yan's eyes showed a hint of appreciation.

It was a sky full of stars, densely dotted in the dark night sky, they spread across the vast sky, and the light sprinkled the whole world. It's beautiful, it's breathtaking.

Bai Xue looked at them, and for a moment thought that he had come to the galaxy universe.

And the most striking thing is a huge medieval castle under the stars, no, I'm afraid not even those castles, it is like a colossus sitting in the middle of the whole starry sky.

After a long time, Mu Yan spoke: "Let's go over." ”

Bai Xue nodded, knowing that that this was probably the place where the owner of this demon cave was.

The ancient castle was huge, and it took Mu Yan and Bai Xue Imperial Sword to fly for a while before reaching its gates.

From a distance, it only shocked the huge grandeur of this ancient castle, but up close, it was terrifying, and Bai Xue felt like a small person standing in front of an irresistible beast. The gate towered into the sky, like the mouth of a giant beast, unusually wide and tall.

"The master's ability to reach heaven is admirable. Mu Yan looked at the gate and exclaimed.

Bai Xue nodded, walked over to the giant door, and pushed the closed door open.

The door was not as difficult as she had imagined, and with a little force, the huge door opened with a rattling sound. After opening the door, a wave of demonic energy rushed towards him like a tide.

Mu Yan frowned behind him and stepped forward: "Be careful, I'm afraid this is a demon land." He didn't think much about it when they couldn't absorb the aura outside, but now that he felt the rolling demonic energy, he realized that this place was probably not a treasure, but a demon cave.

Of course, Bai Xue knew that this was a magical land, and here she had a greater advantage than anyone else. She ignored Mu Yan and strolled into the door. Mu Yan had no choice but to follow.

When you enter the gate, it is not the magnificent hall that Bai Xue imagined, but a beautiful garden. In the center of the garden is a large ice-carved bed, and in front of the large bed is a stone platform on which a demonic zither is placed.

Suddenly, a man's voice appeared without warning, "Interesting, Demons and Immortals. ”

The sound is clear and beautiful, reverberating throughout the garden.

Mu Yan looked around vigilantly, while Bai Xue looked at the guzheng on the stone platform: "You are the instrument spirit guarding this place?"

After Bai Xue's voice fell, the demonic energy on the guzheng gradually condensed into a vague figure, "It's keen." ”

It was a little tired and said, "How many years have it been, and finally someone has come, today is a good day, and I have met a lot of people." ”

Then he said, "Now that you're here, would you like to hear me tell you a story?" ”

Mu Yan had been on guard since the figure appeared, and after hearing this, he asked, "Is it so simple?"

The vague figure seemed to glance at him and nodded.

Mu Yan didn't believe that they could enter so easily, but he couldn't see the cultivation of the blurred figure, but he could feel that the other party's cultivation was as vast as a sea of stars, and if he wanted to kill them, he was afraid that it would be enough to blow a breath. I don't think you have to go to the trouble of fooling them.

Bai Xue didn't think as much, and she could feel the deep sadness and disheartenness on that figure.

I'm afraid, he really just wanted to tell them a story, wanted to tell his story.

He raised his hand and injected a breath into Bai Xue's body, Mu Yan's eyes shrank slightly after seeing it, and he wanted to stop it but found that he couldn't move.

The figure seemed to chuckle lightly, "Don't worry, I'm just helping her improve her cultivation." ”

Sure enough, Mu Yan could feel that Bai Xue's cultivation was gradually improving, and it was not until he reached the late stage of the Spiritual Silence Period that Bai Xue opened his eyes.

The figure looked at the starry sky and sighed faintly: "Come on, use your method to enter this story." ”

Bai Xue was silent, feeling frightened and frightened in her heart, this figure directly helped her to be promoted to cultivation, and saying these words was to tell her that she had seen through the techniques and moves of her cultivation.

You know, when she reaches the later stages of the Silent Period, she will be able to feel through a person's emotions and know what is happening to that person.

And for some reason, Redscale hasn't been silent since she came here, and no matter how much she calls, she can't get a response.

Bai Xue walked to Mu Yan's side in silence and grabbed Mu Yan's hand: "Keep holding on and don't let go." ”

Mu Yan looked at Bai Xue's solemn expression, nodded and held her hand.

Bai Xue looked at the vague figure on the zither, paused slightly, and then her phantom appeared behind her, the phantom had already been completed, and the black gauze and black clothes were faint, and it was exactly the same as her deity.

The phantom of Snow closed her eyes and began to chant. Bai Xue and Mu Yan closed their eyes at the same time.

Then when you open your eyes, you will find another world.
