Chapter 98
Inside the Tianwen Sect, Gu Liuxian watched Ye Piaoling enter a cave. Pointing at the Spirit Mirror, he asked, “What cave is that? Why have I never seen it before?”
One elder said, “Sect Leader, there are countless caves, large and small, inside the Hundred Demon Mountain Secret Realm. It’s normal that you haven’t seen every one of them.”
Gu Liuxian still felt uneasy. He wanted to follow and check, but the observation array could only stream up to the cave entrance. It could not advance even a single step farther!
Before long, a thick, roiling cloud of sinister mist suddenly poured out from the cave. The eerie fog spread at terrifying speed, and in mere moments, it had enveloped the entire secret realm!
In the Observation Spirit Mirror, nothing could be seen at all.
The elders’ expressions changed. “What is going on?”
Gu Liuxian shot to his feet. “This is bad! That mist isn’t right. Hurry, follow me to the secret realm!”
The elders also realized how serious the situation was and immediately followed Gu Liuxian, riding the wind out.
By the time they arrived at the Hundred Demon Mountain Secret Realm, the fog had already dispersed. Everything inside the secret realm was as calm as usual.
But the disciples undergoing the trial had all vanished without a trace!
Lu Yin’s eyes shook. “It’s the Time-Space Technique! They were all taken away by that mist!”
An elder immediately asked, “Taken where?”
Lu Yin’s voice trembled slightly. “Another world…”
…
At the same time.
The mist around Ye Piaoling slowly dispersed, and her pupils suddenly contracted.
The scene before her looked as if she had stepped straight into a horror movie!
Beneath the dark night sky, the surroundings were filled with dead, twisted trees. An icy, deep-blue aura of death drifted through the forest. Not far away, several disciples were running around in panic, every one of them looking completely dumbfounded.
A moment ago, it had still been broad daylight under a clear sky. After one burst of thick fog, it had actually turned into the dead of night?
And judging by the scenery around them, this was definitely no longer the secret realm they had just been in!
Just then, the Black-robed Figure’s voice rang out from the sky, broadcasting like the loudspeaker at an amusement park:
“Welcome to the most wonderful continent in the Three Realms-the Eternal Life Origin Realm!”
“I hope you all have a happy and delightful time here and enjoy a magical day!”
Ye Piaoling listened with black lines practically forming across her face. “…”
So this was the so-called gift from the Black-robed Figure?
Enough already.
But from the sound of it, they had actually been transported to another continent called the Eternal Life Origin Realm!
She had never heard of this world before. This dump looked like the apocalypse, and they still dared call it the most wonderful place in the Three Realms?
She glanced around. That mysterious Black-robed Figure was already nowhere to be seen.
Not far away, one disciple was trembling in terror. He had never expected the trial to include such a horrifying segment. In a shaking voice, he said, “I concede! I want to go back!”
With that, he tore open his Life-saving Talisman without the slightest hesitation.
The Life-saving Talisman fell to the ground, but the array did not activate. He remained right where he was.
The disciple was scared stupid. “How can this be? Didn’t they say that if we tore the Life-saving Talisman, we’d be transported back to the Tianwen Sect?”
“That was inside the secret realm,” Ye Piaoling said as she walked over. “But right now, it seems we are no longer in the secret realm. We may not even be on the Glazed Continent anymore, so the Life-saving Talisman won’t work either.”
The disciple’s face went deathly pale. “Then where are we?”
Ye Piaoling pointed at the sky. “The broadcast just said it. The Eternal Life Origin Realm.”
“What Origin Realm? I don’t even know where this is! I want to go back!”
The disciple’s mental state completely collapsed. Clutching his head, he sprinted wildly into the dense forest.
Before long, a scream of utter terror rang out from the darkness.
A moment later, there was no sound at all.
The disciples nearby went pale with shock.
-Holy crap! Someone really just got killed?
The horror shot through the roof in an instant. No one dared move another inch.
Two panicked figures came running toward them. It was Xiao Mei and Ye Xiangxiang.
Xiao Mei had ordered Ye Xiangxiang to look for food, but when Ye Xiangxiang failed to return after a long time, Xiao Mei had no choice but to leave Xiao Chengxu behind and go search for her. Who would have thought that the moment she found Ye Xiangxiang, the mist would drag them both to this godforsaken place?
The instant Xiao Mei saw Ye Piaoling, she shouted, “Ye Piaoling, is this your doing?”
Ye Piaoling could not even be bothered to answer her.
How did she even ask a question that brainless?
Ye Piaoling frowned and looked around, searching for Hua Wuhuang and Liang Ye.
All of a sudden, several withered vines burst from the ground without warning and wrapped around her body like lightning.
They came too fast. It was already too late to dodge. In the blink of an eye, the withered vines coiled around her again and again like venomous snakes…
Ye Piaoling’s heart jolted. As expected of a Wonderful Journey. It really was fucking wonderful!
When the surrounding disciples saw this, they were so frightened that they fled in all directions.
Xiao Mei froze for a moment, then delight flashed across her face.
-So this really wasn’t Ye Piaoling’s doing. And now Ye Piaoling had been caught by the ghost vines. She was going to die here!
Before Xiao Mei could finish being pleased, another withered vine burst from the ground and trapped her in place as well.
Xiao Mei’s face drained of color.
It turned out that she and Ye Piaoling had been standing right at the foot of a ghost tree.
Ye Piaoling glanced at her. Xiao Mei’s nerve was truly something else. She had just watched someone get entangled by ghost vines, and instead of running for her life, she had stayed there gloating…
The withered vines around her tightened more and more. Ye Piaoling circulated her spiritual power to resist, but all she could do was hold them off enough to keep from being strangled to death. Breaking free was impossible.
Not far away, Ye Xiangxiang was already frozen with terror.
Xiao Mei roared at her, “What are you standing there for? Hurry up and save me! Cut these damned vines apart!”
Ye Xiangxiang was used to obeying Xiao Mei in everything. Forcing down her fear, she drew her sword and edged closer, trembling.
Ye Piaoling suddenly sensed something. Her gaze shifted to the other side.
Ye Xiangxiang followed her line of sight, and her legs immediately began to shake.
In the pitch-black forest, a large group of zombies was strolling along at an unhurried pace, as if they were taking a relaxing walk through the woods for exercise, swaying as they headed this way.
Xiao Mei’s pupils constricted. She shouted, “Save me! Hurry!”
After saying that, she shot Ye Piaoling a glance, and a trace of satisfaction appeared on her face again.
-That horde of zombies was almost here. Ye Piaoling was trapped in this place. She was dead for sure!
As long as Ye Xiangxiang cut through the ghost vine in a moment, Xiao Mei would immediately shove Ye Xiangxiang toward the zombies. With those two sisters holding back the horde, she would definitely be able to escape…
Ye Xiangxiang’s legs knocked together. Trembling, she raised her sword.
But her gaze fell on Ye Piaoling again.
Ye Piaoling was trapped by the ghost vines too…
Ye Piaoling looked at Ye Xiangxiang and suddenly smiled. “You know who you should save.”
Ye Xiangxiang shuddered, her raised sword shaking.
She had never imagined she would face a choice like this. The zombie army was right in front of them. Between Xiao Mei and Ye Piaoling, she could only choose to save one!
Xiao Mei’s expression changed. She shrieked, “What is there to hesitate about? Of course you should save me! I’m the one on your team!!”
