#The central scroll painting at the Xianbo offline store has been replaced
"You didn't know that? It's been changed for almost half a month now. It was changed to Pear Blossom from the day the Dream Realm opened."
"At the time, several of us were discussing which fellow Daoist had spent a fortune just to win a smile from a beauty?"
“If it were that person from Canglan Prefecture, it would make sense, since he owns a mine.”
"It turns out that the rich only get richer, unlike you and me who are penniless. But at least I bet on a blank canvas, so it's not a complete loss, hehehe."
Behind the water mirror, the group of people were flipping through the latest news from the Immortal Museum while whispering among themselves, "I came here to visit and learn, but why are the first and second place winners just showing off their love?"
"If you ask me, those three were truly insightful; they knew from the start that Huali was a dark horse. Hiss, don't you feel the surroundings suddenly getting colder?"
Xiwu: "..." Human joys and sorrows are not the same, but he only found them noisy.

Within the water's reflection, the deep blue starlight and the lingering warmth of the campfire gently intertwined, and just as Chen Yu's pale hand was a hair's breadth away from Hua Li—
Whoosh!
A sharp whistling sound rang out!
It wasn't an arrow or a monster attack, but a pure black mist!
The young general, who was immersed in almost pious tenderness just a moment ago, instantly became like a fully drawn bow! The moment his sharp eyes were raised, killing intent was revealed!
Shen Yu's hovering wrist flipped at an incredible angle, and the Lone Deer Sword appeared as he suddenly flicked it.
Thud—
The black mist slammed violently against the rock wall!
The rock that was hit was as if it had been corroded by strong acid, and instantly a spider web of charred cracks spread out.
Karin suddenly opened her eyes!
She deftly packed the items into her storage bag, feeling like she was about to explode!
She was counting money on a live stream in her dream when a loud noise woke her up. She thought someone was robbing her!
Shen Yu looked at the redness on the corners of the girl's sleepy eyes, and his gaze suddenly turned as sharp as a blade tempered with ice, staring intently at the direction from which the black energy was coming.
As crimson lights began to illuminate the bushes, dozens of silent, humanoid puppets slowly emerged, their empty eye sockets staring at Huali and Shen Yu.
Huali frowned slightly.
She clearly used the Breath of Earth Regeneration technique to shield herself from living beings here; if it weren't intentional, she shouldn't have been noticed.
Moreover, this puppet clearly didn't come from the secret realm; it's obvious someone is targeting them.
Huali's first thought was her ranking on the points leaderboard; the bigger the tree, the more the wind blows.
The Lone Deer Sword in Shen Yu's hand cleaved through the stagnant air like a bolt of lightning. The young man spun around, twisting his waist, and the blade precisely sliced into the weakest point of the puppet's joints, swiftly tearing it to pieces!
However, the deathly silence lasted only a moment.
Just before the puppet's broken parts were about to hit the ground, countless strange black threads suddenly appeared in its body.
The two watched helplessly as all the debris in the air was pulled back, and the broken puppets actually merged back together!
Karin flicked the fire-type card in her hand.
"Red Lotus Blaze, explode!"
If melee weapons don't work, then we'll show you something more powerful!
A massive red flame erupted from the sky, turning night into day in an instant, bursting forth with a blinding white light like the sun, and charged fiercely down towards the humanoid puppet!
At the same time, all the puppets on the ground that were still attacking stopped and suddenly looked up.
Two points of pure golden light shone from their dull eyes, which then suddenly collapsed inwards the instant the black energy surged.
Just as the golden flames were about to engulf them, the backs of all the humanoid puppets exploded!
It wasn't an explosion, it was an eruption!
Under the destructive energy of the Crimson Lotus Flowing Fire, black energy erupted instantly, filling every corner within sight in the blink of an eye.
Huali felt her body sink, and the black energy, like a living shackle, tightly bound her from all directions with terrifying binding power.
"Watch out!" Shen Yu reacted extremely quickly, transforming his sword into a halberd and slashing fiercely at the barrier that was about to take shape!
Clang—
Sparks flew everywhere!
The barrier did not shatter; instead, the immense recoil caused Shen Yu's tiger's mouth to crack open.
"The cycle of flourishing and decay, the essence!"
Hua Li quickly pulled Chen Yu over, "What's going on?"
“It’s the Spirit-Sealing Void Array.” Shen Yu’s eyes hardened. “Someone deliberately used puppets to lure us into a trap.”
*
Outside the barrier, the whispers among the crowd ceased.
On the dozen or so water mirrors within sight, almost everyone was trapped inside the formation.
Those ranked lower didn't even have time to react before being dragged away by the black mist and disappearing instantly.
Those trapped in the remaining five directions happen to be the top ten in this Dream Realm ranking.
"Someone is using the demonic beasts to set up a deadly trap." Tang Yu frowned slightly.
He slowly raised his hand, attempting to probe the scene with his divine sense using the Water Mirror Secret Technique, but his divine sense was instantly repelled as soon as it touched the image.
Tang Yu groaned, his face turning deathly pale.
The Second Elder took him and shook his head, "The Dream Realm can only accept cultivators with Golden Core cultivation, and once it is closed, no one can open it by external force."
"This person has probably planned everything out; his cunning is chilling."
*
Tang Wanwan flew out of the barrier on her sword and sped towards the other strong sects she remembered.
With Senior Brother Ziyan trapped, she alone could not possibly break through that strange barrier. She needed to gather the strength of the remaining trial participants!
Tang Wanwan bit her lip hard, forcing herself to calm down, while forming hand seals and spreading her divine sense like a spider web.
However, all that responded to her was a chilling, deathly silence.
The woodland, which should have been home to a team, was deserted, with only scattered fragments of magical artifacts corroded by the black mist.
Undeterred, Tang Wanwan turned and rushed into the valley where the battle had just taken place, but it was still deserted, with no living creatures in sight except for bloodstains.
This was the case in several places in a row.
Tang Wanwan's heart was beating faster and faster, and a chill ran from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.
She suddenly realized clearly that this vast Dream Realm was now like a giant tomb, and everyone had vanished without a trace, as if they had evaporated into thin air.
She instinctively ran back, but the instant her foot left the ground—
Buzz—
Above the Dream Realm, a giant water mirror flowing with viscous black mist appeared out of thin air.
Almost simultaneously, a powerful "suction" sensation surged forth.
The spiritual power of all the cultivators in the secret realm was being continuously drained away, just like rivers flowing into the sea.
It continuously flows into the center of the water mirror in the sky!
