As the brilliant light moved, Zhao Qi's figure suddenly paused, and then disappeared.

Outside the gate, the sea of ​​clouds remains.

There was no one outside. Zhao Qi, who had walked out earlier, had gone to an unknown place. The faces of the people present were very ugly, especially the guard Hao Ming. His cultivation was the weakest among the people present, and his strength was not as good as the puppet who had gone out to explore the way before. If there was an accident, he would definitely be the first person to die.

The only thing he relies on is his identity as the guardian of the Immortal Court.

But Hao Ming himself knew best how much water there was in his identity as a guard. If he really had a background in the Immortal Court, he would not have been assigned to Zhuxie Island to be a guard in name only.

"Over here."

Chen Luo sensed Zhao Qi's position and turned to walk towards the center of the market. He was the one who saw the test process most clearly. Zhao Qi's mind was still on him, so it was hard for him not to understand.

This so-called market town exit became an illusion since the arrival of the "disaster energy".

The spatial structure of the entire market town was modified by a higher level of power. What looked like an exit was actually a dead end. According to Chen Luo's calculations, this involved the power of the third level of the immortal soul, 'Minghui'. Only a great immortal could force his way out. Although he understood the logic, he was still half a step behind.

Just one step away, a world away.

The further you go on the path of immortality, the bigger the gap becomes.

At the Qi Refining Stage, cultivators with strong Qi Refining Perfection can fight against Foundation Establishment cultivators. If they cooperate with superior spiritual talismans and magical instruments, it is not impossible to kill enemies of higher levels. However, at the Golden Core Stage, cultivators with Foundation Establishment Perfection can only escape. At the Nascent Soul and Spiritualization Stages, this gap will be further magnified.

In the True Immortal Realm, the gap between the second realm and the third realm is so great that it is beyond everyone's comprehension. This is also the reason why Chen Luo did not find the black figure to curse him before.

If you can't win, you can't win. Going back will only lead to your death.

The accumulation of years is enough to smooth out all the gaps. Compared with these old monsters in the True Immortal Realm, Chen Luo has only practiced for a thousand years. Most of the immortal cultivators with the same lifespan are still in the Jindan Realm, and a few geniuses are taking risks for the opportunity to condense the infant. Those who can transform into gods are all monsters. For them, the True Immortal is another level of life, belonging to the existence of ancient books and legends. With his talent and hard work, Chen Luo broke the common sense of the immortal world and reached the second level of the True Immortal in a thousand years. However, after this step, the enemies he met were all old monsters of the first level. Any of these people would be legends in the lower world.

You can imagine how terrifying the disaster was that caused all these people to escape.

"Master, I am Ah Fu."

As the group just passed through the alley, they saw Ah Fu, dressed in a gray butler's uniform, running past them. One of the poisonous insects that had lured him in front of them had already died, and the remaining one's aura had begun to dissipate.

"There's only one Death Substitute left. It won't last much longer."

The head of the Wu family had a gloomy expression on his face, and Hao Ming and the other two beside him also sensed something was wrong.

They thought the two people who came over were their saviors, but now it seems that they are in trouble too. None of them saw the thing that just ran over, but they vaguely heard the sound.

Chen Luo walked in front.

The fully-activated external brain observed all changes around it, and the 'Frost Descent' magic worked silently, helping him dissipate most of the heat.

"Master, can you open the restrictions on Zhuxie Island? Running like this is too slow."

Hao Ming couldn't help but say something.

If it weren't for the restriction of the no-fly zone, he would have escaped into the sky and fled on a flying boat long ago. He wouldn't be running on the ground like he is now.

"The ban has already been opened."

The head of the Wu family glanced at the man and replied calmly.

Since the Wu family was robbed, he has never repaired the restrictions outside. What is now trapping Zhuxie Island is the power of the top-grade immortal artifact "Wangsheng River", which is now mixed with calamity energy. Even if he wants to open it, he is powerless.

"Inside."

Chen Luo, who was at the front, suddenly stopped. Several people looked over and found that they had gone around in a circle and returned to the gate of the Wu family.

Compared to the way it looked when I left, the Wu family's house now looked like it had been soaked in water. The door was covered with moss, and the sides were covered with plants that looked like black hair. Even through the door, one could smell the foul odor coming from inside. It was the black mud that had accumulated at the bottom of the quagmire.

Squeak

As if sensing the presence of several people, the tightly closed door opened by itself.

"I didn't open the door."

Sensing everyone's gaze, Patriarch Wu shook his head and said.

If he hadn't just left here not long ago, he would have thought he was in the wrong place. The gate of the Wu family in front of him was no longer the same as before. The restrictions set up when he left had lost their effect at this moment, and mottled marks covered the entire wall. Zhang Yunwei, wearing a red wedding gown, stood facing the gate, with the same fake smile on her face as before.

"If you change your mind, you can always come back to me."

Zhang Yunwei had a smile on her face and spoke softly. If you didn't look at the black water spreading under her feet, she would look like a wife waiting for her husband to return.

"Young Madam?"

Hao Ming had been to the Wu family several times, so he naturally knew about this legitimate daughter of the imperial Zhang family.

When the Wu family and the Zhang family got married, it had a great impact, and the Immortal Court had sent people to come. As the guardian of Zhuxie Island, Hao Ming was naturally invited. It was a pity that he could only sit at the last seat at that time, and he didn't say a word to the newlyweds the whole time.

"She is not some young lady."

Li Hongxiu and Yang Ding both showed fear on their faces. When they were at the Wu family before, they had witnessed the horror of this young lady with their own eyes.

"It turned out to be Guard Hao."

Hearing the voice, Zhang Yunwei turned her head and looked at Li Hongxiu and others beside her.

At the first sight, a chill ran down everyone's spine. Although this 'young lady' had a smile on her face, she looked cold and stiff, like a dead body.

"Are you here for tea, sir? Please come in quickly."

Zhang Yunwei, dressed in a wedding gown, walked through the black water all the way to the gate.

The black water beneath my feet kept fluctuating, and through the dark water lines, I could vaguely see human faces floating up in it.

After breaking through the restriction set by the head of the Wu family in the backyard, more water from the "River of Rebirth" spread over. The crazy brain that Chen Luo had poured into Wu Ling's body had no effect on it at this time. It was like a deadly poison, which would not have any effect on the body after being diluted to a certain degree.

"That's not necessary."

Hao Ming also felt something was wrong, replied awkwardly, and then stopped talking.

Chen Luo ignored the woman, he was searching for Zhao Qi's whereabouts. He could feel that Zhao Qi was inside the Wu family, but he couldn't sense the exact location. There were too many things hidden in the water of the "River of Rebirth". He used his immortal sense to sense that the inner courtyard of the Wu family was densely packed with "people" everywhere.

"What now?"

The head of the Wu family was a little undecided. He could sense that the two death-replacement Gu he had thrown out had lost contact, and he thought they had been killed by "Afu". The inner courtyard of the Wu family was now out of control, and the tributary of the "Wangsheng River" flooded the entire courtyard. If you enter the door, you will definitely be contaminated by the river water.

"Master, can you tell us what's going on inside? Why did the young lady come to the front yard?"

Li Hongxiu couldn't help but ask.

He and Yang Ding had left early because they were afraid that the situation at the Wu family would get out of control. Now they had come back after a detour. It seemed that the situation was more complicated than before they left. If they went in without knowing what was going on, they would most likely die in there.

"The real trouble is not the young lady, but the Dan Demon Qi." Guard Hao Ming emphasized. He suspected that these people in front of him were all laymen and had no idea of ​​the horror of Dan Demon Qi.

"The most important thing is, shouldn't we find a way to leave this damn place first?"

Yang Ding felt that the guard had a poor sense of danger. There were dangers everywhere on Zhuxie Island, and Danmo Qi was just one of them. They were all life-threatening dangers, and it was obviously a fool's behavior to only worry about one of them. The best way was to escape from here, only in this way could one survive.

"The laws of Fangshi have been changed. How can we leave?"

Li Hongxiu listened to the two people's nonsense and felt more and more that she shouldn't act with these two idiots. Isn't the most important issue at the moment to find a way to survive first?

"As long as it's the 'Dharma', there will be traces to follow. If you find the clues, you can leave!"

"alright!"

The head of the Wu family interrupted the argument of several people. Each of these people had his own ideas and considered the problem based on his own cognition. He didn't know how many calculations were added in his heart. He didn't want to intrigue with these people now. The most urgent thing was to find the door first.

Chen Luo ignored this group of people. All of his external brains were turned on, with each brain responsible for an area. He was searching for Zhao Qi's location like looking for a needle in a haystack.

After a moment, a brain finally sensed Zhao Qi's location.

'Side courtyard, wing room.'

After determining the location, Chen Luo immediately stepped in. The power of the immortal spirit spread like clothes, wrapping his entire body.

tread!

The feet stepped on the black water, making a slight sound, and circles of black muddy water rippled out. The exquisite jade road turned into a black river, and pale faces flowed under the water. Wooden eyes saluted in unison, looking at the group of people stepping on the water. Coming from an unknown area, flowing to an even farther unknown area.

Here, it's just a tributary.

"I knew you would come in."

Zhang Yunwei chuckled, and then her body seemed to melt and slowly sank into the black water below her feet. She disappeared without a trace.

No one spoke.

Even Hao Ming noticed the problem. In addition to the Danmo Qi that he was worried about, the Wu family's inner courtyard seemed to be quite dangerous, and this young lady was one of the sources. (End of this chapter)
