Chapter 169 The Bloody Past Was Torn Apart by Himself
"Chen Yu!"
"Young Master!!"
As Huali walked, she called out to Chenyu as if calling for his soul. The grass blades, warm with the summer sun, brushed against her calves, and a wild vitality seemed to burst forth.
She didn't know how long she had been walking when suddenly, a slight commotion caught her attention.
She looked in the direction of the sound and realized that she seemed to have wandered into a corner of her sea of consciousness.
The grass circled in front of them looked exceptionally soft, and several snow-white ferrets were chasing and playing, making cheerful calls.
While it was inconvenient for Ao Bai to enter Shen Yu's sea of consciousness, it didn't prevent him from communicating with Hua Li in her mind: "Why is this young master engaging in racial discrimination?"
Ao Bai looked through his rosewood eyes at the fiery red fox cubs on the grass, then at the little wolf cubs with eyes like obsidian, and scoffed, "With so many small animals in my sea of consciousness, why do you have a problem with cute kittens?"
Huali ignored it and squatted down to carefully stroke the little wolf's head.
The little creature was startled at first, but then, sensing her pure kindness, it curiously rubbed its wet nose against her fingertip.
Hua Li's smile deepened. "Little one, do you know where the master of your sea of consciousness is?"
It was just a casual question, but the little wolf paused and suddenly looked up at the distance.
Immediately, an extremely faint aura, completely out of place with the tranquil grassland, silently surged forth.
Huali, who was very experienced in treating vomiting blood, immediately smelled the rusty, sweet-smelling odor in the air.
Following the wolf's gaze, Huali's eyes pierced through the layers of green waves, shooting straight into the shadowy area deep within her sea of consciousness.
She seemed to sense something, stood up, and walked quickly over.
Just as Huali was about to step inside, an invisible yet resilient barrier suddenly appeared!
It felt as if countless tiny thorns were piercing her fingers; it didn't hurt, but it carried a clear warning.
Huali, defiant and refusing to believe in superstition, reached out again.
"Rosewood!"
Suddenly, an anxious voice from behind overwhelmed the sound of wind in his mind.
Shen Yu stood a few steps away on the green grass, his dark outfit making him look as tall and straight as a pine tree. To the girl, his amber eyes held extremely complex emotions.
Hua Li's eyes lit up, and she was about to wave at him when Shen Yu strode over.
The boy's voice was no longer as clear and cold as before, but carried a forced, suppressed hoarseness. "You can't go in directly here." He paused. "The water mirror outside extracts spiritual energy. If it's ordinary emotional energy, it's just scratching the surface."
"Only the purest and most intense power of passion can unleash its full potential."
"Wait a minute, I have a question!" The usually quiet Ao Bai suddenly sprang to life. "So what does this have to do with entering the sea of consciousness?"
Hua Li quickly explained in her mind, "The water mirror in the sky above absorbs Chen Yu's spiritual power through the Spirit-Suppressing Void Array. Stopping the emotional fluctuations will only treat the symptoms, not the root cause."
"Instead of being so passive, why not unleash a spiritual force stronger than spiritual power, use cards as a bridge to form new power to break the void-binding array and seek a new life?"
"Love and Soul?" Ao Bai's eyes widened instantly, and he spoke in a trembling voice, "So...you want to have a never-ending romance with the young master here?"
It was so startled that its ears popped out like airplane ears. "What, you think you're done after leaving the secret realm?"
Huali rolled her eyes. "Emotions! Emotions! Including all seven emotions and six desires!"
"To give an example, if you have a sea of consciousness, there must be countless banknotes and spirit stones there, right?"
Ao Bai's attention immediately shifted, and he chuckled, "You understand me."
"Now, if I want to amplify your anger, all I need to do is enter your sea of consciousness and steal all your spirit stones, leave not a single banknote, and even take the box containing the money..."
"Stop, stop, stop! Don't say anymore!" Aobai Erkang cried out, "It hurts, it hurts so much..."
Before entering the sea of consciousness, Huali and Shen Yu had tacitly thought of this point.
In Hua Li's eyes, Shen Yu had achieved fame at a young age, had living parents, and was wealthy and powerful. Ninety percent of the things that could stir up such strong emotions in him were probably related to his expedition.
She was all ready to witness the glorious moment when Shen Yu led his troops to a great victory, but the young master in front of her was clearly acting strangely.
While Hua Li was deep in thought, Shen Yu, who was beside her, had already quickly composed himself.
The usually sharp-tongued young general was uncharacteristically speechless. "This forbidden area holds the most...unbearable memories of my past. The scenes inside are...terrible."
"I don't want you to be caught off guard... and have your heart broken by it."
"Unbearable?" Hua Li's eyes widened in surprise. This word was clearly beyond her expectations, but the subtle tenderness in Shen Yu's words warmed her heart. "Don't worry, young master, I'm very strong!"
Shen Yu nodded and raised his pale wrist. Hua Li didn't hesitate for a moment and grabbed his hand.
The two of them simultaneously lifted their feet and stepped towards the forbidden area of the sea of consciousness.
The next second, thick, foul air rushed in, and the nauseating smell of blood and the stench of ruptured internal organs instantly choked Karin's breath.
The sky was dark red, and the cracked earth beneath our feet was soaked in blackish-red filthy blood.
"Aaaaah—!!" A piercing scream suddenly shattered the surrounding silence.
Although Shen Yu had given her a heads-up beforehand, Hua Li still couldn't help but gasp when she actually saw the scene before her.
Not far away, a small illusory lynx was being trampled in blood, its gruesome abdominal wound gushing out scarlet liquid.
It was struggling desperately, but its slender neck was being crushed and ground down by a hoof covered in cold, black iron.
"Ho...ho..." Each sound of bones shattering was accompanied by a sob as it shattered to its extreme.
The lynx's small body convulsed violently, its obsidian eyes filled with the agony of impending death and endless fear.
On the other side, a young man wearing tattered leather armor and with a rather thin build was being held down on the ground by two guards who were also wearing heavy black iron armor.
His face was forced to press against the blood-stained mud, and he kept letting out desperate and angry roars like a trapped beast!
Huali's pupils contracted slightly, and suddenly the words the puppeteer had spoken when he tried to provoke Shen Yu echoed in her mind.
Is this Shen Yu and his spirit pet?
"Snow Shadow——"
"Let him go! You beasts! Let him go!" The boy's amber pupils turned crimson, and tears mixed with blood streamed down his face.
He struggled desperately like a mad wolf cub, but he couldn't shake the mountain-like oppressive force at all.
The next second, the cavalryman in the shadows suddenly moved.
The iron hoof that was pressing down on Xueying's belly did not loosen its grip, but instead ground down even harder!
With a sudden, piercing, and unnatural scream from the cub, the cavalryman's massive hand gripped the blood-stained fur.
Sizzle—
"No--"
The terrifying sound of flesh being forcibly torn apart mingled with the boy's bloodshot screams at the same time!
As large chunks of fur were torn from its shoulders and back, Snow Shadow could no longer utter a sound. Its small body convulsed violently, and the wounds gushed forth, instantly staining large swaths of land red.
"Let it go!! Please, please let it go!!!"
The boy's voice was a mournful cry, as if his soul was being torn apart. As arrogant as he was, he could only break down and beg for mercy in vain.
But this is only the beginning.
