Silence permeated the still sea.

Shi Yan spoke first!

"No, this situation is far too dangerous! You were only able to escape the illusion created by the inner demon because the inner demon underestimated your abilities."

If I had another chance, I might not have been so lucky!

As soon as Shi Yan finished speaking, Ao Huang nodded in deep agreement.

Xue Shu, who was standing next to him, nodded in agreement.

After all, they now knew that the inner demon was waiting for them with ill intentions. If Chen Tianwen still disregarded his personal safety and moved forward under such circumstances, they would have no face to face him.

Although Chen Tianwen didn't know what these people were thinking, he still had a general idea.

Although he was deeply moved, his inner demons had already challenged him, and this matter had to be resolved today.

He didn't understand much about inner demons before, but now he knows exactly how they bewitch people!

Just like him, his heart is usually calm and undisturbed.

But only he knew that without the existence of the Great Dao of Simplicity, he would never have been able to kill Xu Xinrou, his father would have lost his life, and his sister would have lost her support.

I will also grow old slowly, and eventually lose my life in despair.

This is the thing I fear most in my life, and it's also the emotion that stirs the most within me.

If I was in this situation, then Yan, Ao Huang, and Xue Shu were probably in similar circumstances.

Shi Yan's brows were furrowed, probably because he was facing a difficult decision.

Ao Huang had a smug smile on his face, probably experiencing some unattainable realm.

Xue Shu's face was covered in tears. The most difficult thing she had ever encountered in her life was the Ancient Serpent King's illness.

In short, the most lethal move of the inner demon is to create a realistic illusion that you can never escape.

Or, to put it another way, it means directly obtaining something you can never have in the illusion, thus becoming a puppet of your inner demons.

Secondly, Chen Tianwen asked himself if he had any particularly good ideas! This trick wasn't very effective against him.

The other move, however, was a little tricky for him.

Chen Tianwen is now reviewing his actions from just now.

But he had entered this illusion by accident; with the Heart-Piercing Sword in hand, he shouldn't have made such a fatal mistake. Fortunately, the inner demon, like him, had also made a fatal error!

However, at this moment, Chen Tianwen also secretly warned himself that he could never be too careless again.

This time, both sides were careless and escaped disaster. If they make the same mistake again, there will be no second chance to make amends!

"You don't need to say more. We just didn't know that the lair of the inner demon was here!"

He struck first against us; caught off guard, it was inevitable that we would suffer losses!

Chen Tianwen firmly demanded that the three of them stay where they were.

For no other reason than that if these three were to fall under the influence of the inner demon while I was killing it, and cause trouble, I couldn't just stand by and watch them die! Nor could I just watch the inner demon go unpunished!

So for everyone's sake, let's just stay where we are!

When Shi Yan heard that Chen Tianwen had made his decision, he sighed inwardly.

To be honest, he knew very well why Chen Tianwen felt this way. Ao Huang was a simple-minded dragon, and Xue Shu next to him was a love-struck snake.

Getting the two of them to understand the meaning behind Chen Tian's question is more difficult than simply turning Ao Huang into a smart person.

So, Ao Huang, who was standing nearby, shouted, "I can't abandon my master!"

My master only has me as his dragon!

He immediately ushered Ao Huang aside and saw Chen Tianwen off as he left!

"You, Shi Yan, are you so-called Crown Prince? Do you think you're so precious?"

"Let me tell you, in my eyes, you're not even worth a finger of my master!"

Ao Huang was furious. Was there no justice left in this world?!

Not only am I far behind my master, but I can't even keep up with this wicked pretty boy in front of me?

If it weren't for this sharp-tongued pretty boy stopping me, I would have followed my master long ago. Now, my master is gone, and I have no choice but to stay with this pretty boy.

"That's your master, and also my second brother! If you think that way, then so be it!"

Shi Yan replied coldly.

It has to be said that Shi Yan's words are truly venomous; Ao Huang is far from being his match.

These words were enough to infuriate Ao Huang!

Seeing Ao Huang's face turn completely red, Xue Shu gently tugged at his sleeve.

"Brother Ao Huang! Let's stand over there! The water's cold here!"

"I am going over there, but you begged me to!"

Ao Huang arrogantly raised his head and walked away! He didn't even bother to stay in this lousy place, especially the lousy place where Yan was.

Xue Shu followed closely behind Ao Huang; she had already noticed that Ao Huang was unhappy!

Even if the person in front of her is a good man, she will not stand next to Shi Yan. She has Ao Huang, which is enough for her!

Shi Yan shook his head speechlessly, casually took out a talisman, and hid himself in the silent seawater.

Chen Tianwen was already quite far away from them.

Throughout the journey, the Heart-Piercing Sword remained hovering around Chen Tianwen.

The constant release of oppressive power along the way made the inner demon following behind him grit its teeth in hatred.
