Chapter 1168: True or False
Vientiane Valley looks like a valley from the outside, but when you walk in, you will find a sea of clouds in front of you, with only continuous mountain peaks protruding above the sea of clouds, a fantastic scene.
The place where Zhou Wen and others were standing was the top of a mountain. As far as the eye could see, palaces appeared and disappeared in the sea of clouds, as if they were real, but also like mirages.
Three suns shine together in the sky, and seven moons are in the same sky. There are even mountains growing in the opposite direction in the sky, as if they are about to plunge into the sea of clouds from top to bottom, forming a bizarre world.
Zhou Wen turned around and looked, only to find that the valley entrance he had come from was gone.
The Dugu family's old house is extremely mysterious and unknown to outsiders. Zhou Wen doesn't know much about Wanxiang Valley either. Now that he sees such a wonder, he can't help but marvel at it.
However, Zhou Wen did not see any scene of a major battle, nor did he find any traces of fighting, which was different from what Dugu Busha said.
"The facts are clear. Now you should know who is lying, right?" The man in black said to Zhou Wen with a smile.
Dugu Busha quickly defended himself, "Zhou Wen, don't believe him. There are taboos within the Myriad Things Valley. Everything here is constantly changing, between reality and illusion. Whether it's a mountain or a palace, everything is constantly shifting between reality and illusion. Second Master and the others are trapped in the old house, which is on Wuyin Mountain. At this hour, it should still be in an ethereal state, making it impossible to enter. However, as long as you reach Wuyin Mountain, you will be able to see the ethereal Wuyin Mountain and those people."
"Since you say so, I will take Zhou Wen to Wuyin Mountain to see how long you can keep quibbling." The man in black said, turned around and flew in one direction.
Zhou Wen was about to summon a flying mount when he saw the little bird flap its wings and immediately fly up. Its body grew bigger and bigger in the air, and soon it looked like a golden cloud.
The bird chirped softly to Zhou Wen a few times, as if asking Zhou Wen to sit on its back.
Zhou Wen was delighted to see that the bird had such a transformation ability. He took Yaer and climbed onto the bird's back. Tsukuyomi and Antelope also followed.
When Dugu Busha wanted to come up, he was glared at fiercely by the bird.
Dugu Busha was not in the mood to care about these things. He summoned a flying companion pet and followed first.
After flying for a while, Dugu Busha suddenly shouted, "No, he's not heading towards Wuyin Mountain, that's over there..."
The black-clad man in front stopped, stared at Dugu Busha and sneered, "So that's how it is. You wanted to use Zhou Wen's power to rush into Senluo Palace. What a good plan."
"You are talking nonsense. The direction you are heading to is Senluo Palace. Zhou Wen, this is the way to Wuyin Mountain. You have to believe me." Dugu Busha said anxiously.
Zhou Wen looked at the two people who each insisted on their own words, and for a moment he couldn't tell who was telling the truth and who was lying.
However, Zhou Wen would rather believe that Dugu Busha was wrong, because until now, they have not seen a second person from the Dugu family. If the man in black is telling the truth, then why don't the people from the Dugu family come out to help him explain?
As long as the other members of the Dugu family come out, they will naturally be able to convince Zhou Wen. Although Zhou Wen has limited knowledge, he still knows a few important figures in the Dugu family.
"You keep saying that the Dugu family is fine, so why don't you call out the other members of the Dugu family?" Dugu Busha obviously thought of this as well.
The man in black frowned and said, "Wuyin Mountain is now in a state of emptiness. No one can come out."
"You don't want to tell Zhou Wen that you are the only one guarding the entire Wanxiang Valley today, right?" Dugu Busha said coldly.
The man in black hesitated for a moment before explaining to Zhou Wen, "Today is the day of our Dugu family's grand ceremony. Aside from me guarding the gate, everyone else is at Wuyin Mountain. If you don't believe me, just go there and you'll see."
"Didn't you say before that the Second Master was not here? Now you say they are all in Wuyin Mountain?" Dugu Busha seized the loophole in the black-clothed man's words.
"The Second Master has not returned at all, so naturally he cannot attend the grand ceremony." said the man in black.
Zhou Wen saw the two of them talking back and forth. Although what Dugu Busha said made sense, he couldn't completely believe it.
"What kind of place is Senluo Palace?" Zhou Wen couldn't decide who to listen to for a moment, so he thought for a while and said.
"Senluo Palace is the most mysterious place in Wanxiang Valley. Very terrifying dimensional creatures are suppressed inside. It is the forbidden area of my Dugu family. No one is allowed to enter it. In the past, people from my Dugu family accidentally entered it and never found them alive or dead. He lured us there because he wanted to use the power of Senluo Palace to kill us." Dugu Busha said.
Zhou Wen looked at the man in black, who said, "Senluo Palace is indeed a forbidden area for our Dugu family. Outsiders are not allowed to enter. It is extremely dangerous inside."
"If that's the case, why did you say Dugu Busha wanted to rush into Senluo Palace?" Zhou Wen asked.
The man in black replied, "Others who enter will die, but it's different if Dugu Busha goes in. If he enters, not only will he not die, but he will also gain extremely terrifying power. He must not be allowed in."
"Others will die if they go in, but I will gain terrible power if I go in. Isn't this too ridiculous?" Dugu Busha said.
"The matter is rather complicated and difficult to explain clearly at once. To put it simply, it is related to Dugu Busha's fate. If he is allowed to enter and gain the power of Senluo Palace, not only our Dugu family will suffer, I am afraid the entire federation will also be greatly affected. Therefore, we must not let him succeed." said the man in black.
Zhou Wen really couldn't tell who was telling the truth.
"Zhou Wen, he is delaying time. The Second Master and the others are trapped in Wuyin Mountain. If we go too late, I'm afraid they will really be beyond help." Dugu Busha said anxiously.
"Zhou Wen, I know you have a good relationship with the Second Master. If you are deceived by him and force your way into the Senluo Palace, my Dugu family will suffer a heavy loss. How do you expect the Second Master to cope with it?" said the man in black.
"What exactly is suppressed in the Senluo Palace? A dimensional creature? A guardian? Or something else?" Zhou Wen had no choice but to continue asking.
"I don't know. This is the secret of my Dugu family. Only the clan leaders of all generations know the truth." said the man in black.
"What you said is full of loopholes. Since only the clan leader knows the truth, how do you know that I will get huge benefits if I enter? You are clearly trying to delay time. Zhou Wen, go and save the second master and the others. It will be too late if you are late." Dugu Busha looked anxious.
