"You should have a way to solve this, right?"

Seeing that Lu Ziyuan was neither angry nor anxious, Master Wen was very satisfied: "It seems you listened to what I said and your mind is very stable. Do you have any of Zhong Muyu's personal belongings?"

If we're talking about personal items, all that's left now is that diamond necklace.

Lu Ziyuan took out the diamond necklace: "Is this okay?"

Master Wen took it and glanced at it: "It's fine. This thing was taken away with her, so it's even more useful."

After saying that, he handed the necklace back to Lu Ziyuan: "Take it, close your eyes, and calm your mind..."

After Lu Ziyuan did as instructed, he felt as if he were traveling through those memories, which were fleeting yet very clear. He didn't know what kind of magic the Divine Master had used, but he felt as if he were traveling through those memories.

Suddenly, Lu Ziyuan shouted, "Found it!"

"Then, open your eyes."

As soon as Lu Ziyuan opened his eyes, he saw that the necklace on his hand was emitting several rays of light, which were connected to some of the crystals.

Master Wen raised his hand and gathered the crystals he had found. They gradually coalesced, their light growing brighter and brighter until the other crystals dimmed. A large crystal, like a mirror, appeared before them.

The crystal reflected their broken appearance. When Master Wen placed his hand on it, the smooth surface of the crystal spread out like ripples on water.

"I see."

"What?"

“I already know how she was captured. We should be able to find her if we go in from here.”

"Let's get there quickly!"

"Wait, wait, wait."

Master Wen stopped the anxious Lu Ziyuan and handed him a woven red rope.

"What's the use of this?"

“Once we enter this place, we'll be in someone else's territory. To prevent us from getting separated, wear this red string on your wrist so I can find you as soon as possible. Otherwise, getting lost in a dream is no different from being dead.”

After hearing this, Lu Ziyuan carefully tied the red rope around his wrist before the two of them entered the crystal.

A flash of white light, and a completely different world appeared before me.

Lu Ziyuan looked around at this bizarre world. It looked like an ordinary forest, but it was filled with misty fog. The sky was also filled with distorted gray clouds that emitted a gray-blue light. The overall environment was very quiet and oppressive.

Is this the kind of place where Zhong Muyu is kept?

At this moment, Lu Ziyuan discovered that Wen Shenshi, who had always been by his side, was gone.

He shook the red rope, but it didn't change at all.

Now that things have come to this, there's nothing to do but move forward. Lu Ziyuan is focused on rescuing Zhong Muyu and isn't afraid.

The surroundings were eerily quiet. Lu Ziyuan walked for a long time, but he couldn't reach the end of the road. He suspected that there might be some kind of illusion here, but he couldn't figure out the key to it.

Just then, the sound of fighting broke through the air. Looking in the direction of the sound, a broken section of tree trunk flew towards him!

Lu Ziyuan dodged aside, and then heard Wen Shenshi's voice from the surroundings: "Watch your surroundings!"

Several sharpened wooden sticks flew out of nowhere, aiming straight for Lu Ziyuan. Lu Ziyuan dodged and parried with his sword, but his clothes were still torn.

"What happened?"

Lu Ziyuan looked around and heard the voice of the Divine Master again: "She has discovered us. You deal with her for now, I will be there soon. Remember not to wander around, lest she separate us again."

Lu Ziyuan carefully analyzed the current situation. At this time, it would be the same no matter where he went, as the other party seemed to be able to launch any attack against him from anywhere in the area.

Lu Ziyuan then focused on dealing with the attacks. After a while, the attacks turned into a group of men in black who appeared out of nowhere. They were very fast and seemed to never stop.

Even if Lu Ziyuan hits them, they just turn into smoke and disappear, then reappear, making them impossible to kill.

Sweat dripped from his face, turning into wisps of green smoke and disappearing. Lu Ziyuan was panting, but dared not stop. The attacks from this dream were endless, and it would be very easy for an ordinary person to die inside.

He had been injured many times, but he still persevered through sheer willpower and instinct.

Just as the group of men in black attacked him again, a white light suddenly appeared in the distance, and all the men in black disappeared in the light.

Lu Ziyuan, leaning on his sword, saw Master Wen flying over from the other side of the light.

"You've persevered long enough; your willpower is truly remarkable."

"This is nothing compared to rescuing Zhong Muyu."

Lu Ziyuan hastily wiped away his sweat, and after catching his breath, he saw a woman wearing a long robe and a hood following closely behind him.

Master Wen looked at her and said, "You should give up. As I predicted, Zhong Muyu isn't so easy to deal with either, is she? You've already spent a lot of effort maintaining the dream that's trapping her, so you can't deal with us now."

"You think I can't handle you, you mere juniors?"

"Not only have you become stronger over the years, but the Spirit Clan has also changed a lot. Underestimating your enemy will lead to a terrible death."

Wen Shenshi spoke casually, but the killing intent in his eyes was genuine.

"boast."

Not knowing how Master Wen had dealt with her before, the Shadow Witch was furious at the moment, wishing she could kill them all.

The two were on high alert, not daring to be careless in the slightest. Wen Shenshi blocked the attacks flying from all directions, and Lu Ziyuan took the opportunity to get close to Ying Wu and engage her in battle. Although it was their first time meeting, the two cooperated surprisingly well.

At this moment, Master Wen's voice quietly reached his ears: "She is mentally unstable. This is a good opportunity. I will break this dream in a moment. You go and save her. I can handle the rest."

Lu Ziyuan silently agreed. After a few rounds, when the Shadow Witch blocked Lu Ziyuan's attack, Wen Shenshi took the opportunity to open a gap. Seeing this, Lu Ziyuan stepped on a tree trunk and flew over with the help of it.

Shadow Witch sneered: "You're actually sending an ordinary person alone? Aren't you afraid he'll die over there?"

"I believe in his abilities, and I also believe in Zhong Muyu's abilities. However, I didn't come here just to help him; otherwise, I wouldn't have separated from him on the way here and deliberately provoked you."

“You still haven’t given up after all these years. The old ones die and the young ones come looking for you again.”

"You know perfectly well what you've done. The Spirit Clan has no reason to let you go. Besides, not all the elders are dead. If Mr. Dongshan heard you say that, he would be very angry, you know?"

Mentioning this Mr. Dongshan, Yingwu subconsciously felt a chill in her heart. As the strongest member of the Spirit Clan back then, she might have been killed by him if it weren't for the help of the Xirong people.

However, Shadow Witch wasn't stupid: "If he shows up, it means the Spirit Clan is planning to officially appear. Dongshan Yi wouldn't be so foolish as to disregard the safety of the Spirit Clan just to capture me."

"That's hard to say. Since you care about this, why don't you go and ask him yourself?"

Master Wen narrowed his eyes, like a cunning fox. In an instant, the scene in the dream changed again. Amidst the transformation of white mist, it resembled a giant net covering heaven and earth.

"Now, this is my dream."
