There is no blue cloud under the blue sky (4)
The mural disappeared in the dust, and Li Zhaoyue rolled into another palace before the hall collapsed.
The place is brightly lit. In the center of the hall hangs a huge crystal chandelier, and below the crystal chandelier hangs an ice coffin.
Transparent ice crystals and colorful crystals mixed together have a strange beauty.
Xu Xing was still asleep. Li Zhaoyue injected spiritual power into his brow. After making sure that he was okay, he slowly walked towards the ice coffin in the center of the hall.
Whoever designed this palace must have put a lot of thought into it; the ice crystals could actually hang in the air without melting, and even tiny snowflakes drifted down from the sky. Li Zhaoyue reached out and caught a few flakes, then looked at the crystal chandelier, which still glowed with confusion.
There is no spiritual energy flowing around this lamp, and there is no light source around it. How does it glow?
She placed Xu Xing under the crystal chandelier, sat down cross-legged, took out the old compass, and injected spiritual power into it.
Spiritual power gradually flowed on the compass scale. Li Zhaoyue closed his eyes and saw the familiar tree again.
But this time, the tree had fewer branches, and she saw the thickest one at a glance.
Li Zhaoyue controlled his consciousness and headed in the direction that the tree branch pointed. The road that should have been smooth and unobstructed was suddenly blocked by a mirror.
Li Zhaoyue has been studying Feng Shui for so long, but has never encountered such a situation.
The mirror was not an ordinary obstacle. The mirror surface kept undulating, reflecting the tree branches behind her that she was walking on.
This is a dead end.
If you try to force your way through the mirror, you will not only be unable to return to your original place, but you will also get lost among the tree branches.
Feng Shui is essentially a peek into the line of destiny. While it brings huge benefits, it also hides dangers. If you get lost in this tree full of lines of destiny, you can never go back.
Li Zhaoyue was very alert and tried to go around the edge of the mirror, but unexpectedly the mirror turned with her movements and stuck her in. At this time, Li Zhaoyue was only one step away from the mirror.
A strange white line appeared between her and the mirror. Li Zhaoyue shuddered and was forcibly blasted out of her consciousness space.
That thing just now...
Her body suddenly stiffened, because on the middle finger of her right hand, there was a white line. This line stretched upwards, and at the end of the line...
Li Zhaoyue raised his head with difficulty. The white line went up all the way and fell into the ice coffin wrapped in layers of crystals.
Everything that happened was too weird. She didn't dare to act rashly. She could only tilt her neck and stare at the ice coffin motionlessly. At the same time, her back felt cold and her hands and feet felt weak.
The surroundings were very quiet and the temperature was dropping. Li Zhaoyue's eyes were sore and red, but even so, he didn't dare to relax easily.
Click——
There was a sound of something breaking, and Li Zhaoyue shuddered uncontrollably. At the same time, the snowflakes suddenly became bigger and the strong cold air blurred her vision.
It was the wind, the wind that carried snowflakes, and the sound of her clothes being blown. She struggled to open her eyes and found a crack at the bottom of the ice coffin, and a mirror facing her, reflecting her face.
Pale and stiff.
Li Zhaoyue got up from the ground in fear. The person in the mirror did not move and continued to stare at her.
That's not a mirror! It's a corpse in an ice coffin, with a face exactly like Li Zhaoyue's.
"Are you surprised?" A female voice suddenly appeared in my ears. It was the woman in the previous illusion.
Li Zhaoyue hurriedly ran to Xu Xing, carried him on his back, and ran into the darkness.
"Why are you afraid? Aren't you curious about who is in the ice coffin and why he has the same face as you?"
Li Zhaoyue pursed her lips and said nothing, just running forward. Suddenly, a light appeared in the darkness ahead. She was delighted and rolled through the door.
There was another large hall with a huge crystal chandelier and an ice coffin wrapped in crystals.
The layout is exactly the same as the palace just now.
She was still a little frightened, and even more terrified when she saw the familiar scene. Her palms, backs of her hands, and forehead were all sweaty.
"Do you know how to get out?" Li Zhaoyue asked.
The woman who had been talking just now suddenly fell silent and did not answer any questions from Li Zhaoyue.
This time she was really the only one left, and in this extremely strange underground palace, her voice was the only one left.
Li Zhaoyue gritted his teeth, thinking that Xu Xing was still in a coma and needed to go out for medical treatment in time. Thinking of the words of the little man in red, he suppressed the fear in his heart and walked towards the ice coffin tremblingly.
This time the ice coffin cracked, revealing Xu Xing's face. She was scared away again and entered an identical palace.
The person in the ice coffin this time was Xie Feng, followed by Zhu Ming, and He Shuyu...
By the end of her run, her hands and feet were cold and her whole body was numb. This was no place to leave. Li Zhaoyue was trapped in this circular palace, constantly watching the people around her die.
This must be an illusion, perhaps related to the mirror she saw on the Tree of Destiny.
She wiped away her frightened tears, pursed her lips, tremblingly took out the compass, and re-entered the space of consciousness. Sure enough, this time she found that her consciousness was covered by the mirror and she was walking non-stop on a tree branch.
Since I can't get out, the mirror can be broken, so...
Li Zhaoyue clenched her right fist and flew towards the mirror. Strangely, the mirror, which was so soft that it could suck her in, actually shattered because of her punch.
Then, the surroundings changed rapidly and she returned to the original palace.
And the person in the ice coffin turned back into her again.
Li Zhaoyue's spiritual power was originally low, and after this consumption, he lay on the ground gasping for breath.
She was lying in the ice coffin, her expression serene, her eyelids lightly closed, as if about to open them in the next moment. She stared at herself in the ice coffin quietly, revealing a bitter smile.
She had tried everything, but couldn't even get out of the underground palace.
Li Zhaoyue's eyelashes trembled, and a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.
If only she could be stronger, if only she could be stronger, she wouldn't have to hide behind her master, wouldn't have to hide behind Xie Feng, and wouldn't have to use the talisman paper prepared for her by Zhu Ming when danger came. If the talisman paper was lost, she would be powerless to fight back.
"I heard your call." A strange voice suddenly sounded in my ears.
Her half-open eyes suddenly widened and she looked at the woman in the ice coffin in shock.
"Li Zhaoyue, I finally see you."
As the sigh fell, the woman in the ice coffin suddenly opened her eyes, and a strange light flashed in her white pupils. Ice and snow suddenly fell, disturbing her vision. The woman was wearing a white dress, and her long sash was blown by the wind and hit Li Zhaoyue's face.
Before she passed out, she vaguely saw Xu Xing, who had been unconscious beside her, stand up. The green hem of his clothes and the white belt were intertwined, as if they had existed in her memory for a long time.

On the other side of the underground palace, there were many people tied up with ropes in the hall. He Shuyu leaned against the wall with his eyes closed to rest.
"I didn't expect that the mastermind behind this is your Lou family. What's going on? Have you been the overlord of Cangyun City for too long and your ambition has expanded. Do you want to wipe out other immortal sects in one fell swoop?" Zheng Hai was tied in the air and cursed at the Lou family disciples who were coming and going below.
And right below Zheng Hai, Yu Zhi had a pale face and was obviously mentally ill. He kept repeating the word "retribution".
"Could you please stop talking nonsense? It makes me upset just listening to you." Seeing that the Lou family disciples ignored him, Zheng Hai shifted his target of attack and cursed Yu Zhi.
Yu Zhi seemed to hear nothing and continued muttering to himself. Zheng Hai was annoyed to death and turned his attention to He Shuyu who was resting with his eyes closed.
"Why are you so leisurely, Senior Sister He? Have you thought of a way to get out?" His tone was sarcastic and his voice was loud, attracting the attention of some of the Lou family disciples.
He Shuyu opened one eye, looked at Zheng Hai without any emotion, and sneered, "Why? Do you think I'm so powerful that I can escape in front of so many Lou family disciples?"
"Or do you want to divert attention and have already thought of a way to escape?"
After hearing this, the Lou family disciples looked at Zheng Hai with unfriendly eyes.
Zheng Hai was a bit of a bully, so he shut up tactfully and glared at He Shuyu several times. He Shuyu pretended that he didn't exist and closed his eyes again.
After a while, there was a creaking sound from the door of the hall, and dust slowly flew from the ground into the air. The door opened, and a masked woman in white walked in, followed by several disciples of the Lou family. Those disciples supported a man in a wheelchair and walked slowly over.
"Master." The woman saluted the man in the wheelchair.
"How are the preparations going? The time the immortal said is almost here." Lou Ze asked.
The woman pointed at the people inside and said, "Everything is ready. The fates of these disciples are very compatible with the ancient formation. We can begin shortly."
Lou Ze nodded, and the two cloudy eyes on his young face turned around and finally fell on He Shuyu who was standing beside him.
"I've seen that child. When Dao Yan was still conscious, Floating Island once held a Daoist conference. This child was very talented, but it's a pity that he died here today."
They were standing not far from He Shuyu, so she could hear it, but she remained silent, pretending not to hear anything. However, Zheng Hai had been frightened so much, and after hearing Lou Ze's words, he couldn't help but get anxious.
"What did you mean by 'die here'? Are you going to kill us all? You are the head of the Lou family. The gods have given you the duty to protect the Floating Island. How could you kill innocent people like us just for your own selfish desires?"
Zheng Hai was hung in the center of the hall. His voice spread from the center throughout the hall. The disciples and civilians who were huddled together looked over. This made him more confident and he couldn't help but look directly at Lou Ze.
Zheng Hai was used to being arrogant in Yiziyuan. At this time, he had not yet put himself in the right position. He still thought that he had the privileges given by his family and dared to question Lou Ze.
He Shuyu shook his head, cursed him as an idiot in his heart, and decided to move to a position farther away from him.
Facing his question, Lou Ze gave a strange laugh and looked at Zheng Hai with a very gentle look. "This young disciple does have some truth in what he said. As the head of the Lou family, who guards the outermost barrier of the Floating Island and possesses the power bestowed by God, how could he do such a heinous thing?"
He seemed to be asking himself, or asking himself a question.
Zheng Hai thought he could really awaken Lou Ze's conscience with his mouth, and was very proud of it. Before he could say anything else, the chain tied to his body tightened instantly. In just a moment, his whole body turned blue and purple, like a corpse.
Lou Ze was just sitting in a wheelchair and didn't even move, but Zheng Hai almost died. The remaining disciples in the hall were all trembling with fear.
"You, the aristocratic families, live in the innermost layer of the floating island, enjoying our protection and not having to worry every day. What qualifications do you have to say such things?"
