Chapter 204 Ye Li Takes on a New Identity
Feng Jingxuan was speaking to a dark, round plate as he walked toward the red jar containing Ye Li's soul.
At the same time, an invisible figure was approaching from behind him.
Just as Feng Jingxuan was about to pick up the red jar on the ground, a deadly attack was immediately aimed at him.
Caught off guard, Feng Jingxuan barely managed to avoid a fatal blow, but was still severely injured.
He coughed up blood, but disregarded his injuries and immediately turned his head to look, shouting, "Who! Who is it!"
His response was an attack even more ferocious than before.
Feng Jingxuan's cultivation was one realm higher than Ye Li's, but he was seriously injured and Ye Li took the initiative. In addition, he could not see Ye Li, so he was in a very passive position.
Before long, they were beaten and forced to dodge.
To avoid being ambushed, he leaned against the wall and tried to negotiate with Ye Li.
"Ye Li? Is that you? You didn't enter the formation?"
“Let me tell you, even if you didn’t enter the formation, you still can’t get out of Twilight Cloud Island. Don’t you want to know what we’re doing? Come out, and I’ll tell you what’s here.”
As he spoke, he secretly took the black disc he had just put into his storage pouch, intending to tip him off.
With a loud bang.
Ye Li knocked the black plate off with her sword.
Taking advantage of his momentary daze, she struck him hard in his vital spot with a palm strike.
"I can stay here, but you must die."
Feng Jingxuan's body stiffened, his eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe he was going to die like this.
The moment Feng Jingxuan fell to the ground, the previously quiet red-patterned array was activated once again.
Ye Li was surprised for a moment, then realized what was happening.
This formation absorbs all souls; it seems that Feng Jingxuan's soul has also been absorbed.
It's likely that when Feng Jingxuan set the trap, he never imagined that he would end up walking right into it himself.
Feng Jingxuan was not a soul cultivator, so he naturally had no power to retaliate. Before an incense stick could burn, the red jar underneath began to shake.
Ye Li reacted quickly and immediately put the lid back on.
She shook it out of curiosity, and a terrified scream immediately came from inside.
"Where am I?!"
"Let me out!"
She was about to destroy it when she realized that Feng Jingxuan must know a lot, so she might as well keep him for now.
So she placed a restriction on the pottery jar and stuffed it into a storage bag.
Just before she was about to leave, she looked at Feng Jingxuan's corpse and stopped in her tracks.
Feng Jingxuan was clearly more trusted by the masked man than Huang Guangsu and Ying'er, so could she...?
Suddenly, Ye Li had a bold idea.
-
As dawn broke.
Just as Mu Xi was gazing longingly down into the tree hole, a flash of white light suddenly appeared.
Then, Feng Jingxuan emerged from the tree hole carrying Jiang Li.
Mu Xi stared wide-eyed at Jiang Li, who was lifeless and bound by vines.
She immediately went over to him, "Wake up, wake up."
Feng Jingxuan comforted her, "Don't worry, she's fine."
But her words startled Mu Xi, who took several steps back. "Sect Leader Feng, you, how did you turn into a woman?"
Oh no, I forgot she and Feng Jingxuan are not the same gender.
Just as she was thinking about how to explain this complicated situation to Mu Xi, the earth suddenly began to shake violently without warning, making a dull "rumbling" sound, as if something was awakening.
The sky suddenly darkened, and the darkness spread like a surging tide at an extremely fast speed, instantly extinguishing any life in its path.
The once lush green grass turned yellow and withered in the blink of an eye, losing all its luster.
And those docile magical beasts, under this eerie dim light, turned into bare white bones, revealing their ferocious true nature.
Mu Xi was so shocked she couldn't speak, "This..."
Ye Li grabbed Mu Xi and pulled her away, shouting, "Get on the ship quickly!"
The moment they reached the edge of the rocky hill, darkness descended once more like a surging wave, swiftly sealing the valley shut, like a giant black cage.
A suffocating aura of death, almost tangible, descended from all directions.
As darkness drew closer, Ye Li noticed something wriggling within it.
First, fingers emerged from the shadows, and then a huge head slowly appeared. It had no facial features, only a chaotic darkness, yet it gave the impression that a pair of malevolent eyes were hidden within, coldly watching everything.
Mu Xi was completely terrified and stammered, "What...what is this..."
Ye Li didn't know either. Looking at the shadowy figure that almost covered half the mountain, she felt that it was some kind of evil spirit from hell that had wandered into the human world.
"How could something like this exist on Twilight Cloud Island?"
Xie Sixing chuckled softly, "The world is full of wonders, little Taoist priest. But if you're scared, you can call my name to bolster your courage."
The enormous head turned left and right as if searching for something. Suddenly, it turned towards the unconscious disciples and slowly moved toward them.
It doesn't walk on two legs, but slides towards them on the rocky hills, like a shadow puppet.
Seeing it getting closer and closer to the disciples, Ye Li wanted to stop it. She tapped her toes, gathered spiritual power on the sword, and thrust it down fiercely.
There was a loud "clang".
Ye Li's sword stopped on the ground, but the next second, it seemed to fall into an endless black hole and be swallowed up.
She quickly retreated, but it was too late.
Above the shadow, she was completely unable to use her spiritual power. Just as she was about to fall into the shadow and be swallowed up, she subconsciously shouted.
"Thank you, Sixing!"
The falling body was suddenly lifted up.
Ye Li floated in mid-air, and with a flick of his wrist, the once arrogant black shadow instantly twitched.
Before long, the dark shadow grew larger again, as if it had been provoked, and the earth began to tremble once more.
Xie Sixing exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, this is so difficult!"
The two were connected by their five senses, and Ye Li also witnessed this scene.
"No, it's getting bigger and bigger."
Xie Sixing suddenly clapped his hands and exclaimed excitedly, "I've got it!"
A strange light flashed in his eyes, and he said in a light voice, "I'll just flip the island over."
Ye Li's eyes widened. "Turn...over?"
She thought Xie Sixing was joking until he slowly raised his hands.
As he moved, Twilight Cloud Island, which had been submerged in the water, began to emit a low rumble. The edge of the island gradually rose above the water, and the seawater seemed to be lifted up by an invisible giant hand, forming huge curtains of water.
The sea surface is swirling with eddies caused by the rising of islands, and the depths are unfathomable.
Xie Sixing flipped his hands over.
In an instant, the world changed color.
The island spun, and the seawater surged wildly as the island turned, creating giant waves tens of meters high. Lightning rolled in the clouds, as if the heavens and earth were trembling at this action.
"boom--!"
The island crashed back into the water, creating towering waves that shook the earth.
Seeing this, Ye Li was speechless.
She finally understood that Xie Sixing's power was far beyond her imagination.
As the tide receded, Ye Li discovered that the island had transformed into something entirely different.
It was exactly the same island she saw in her illusion.
Thinking of those upside-down trees, she belatedly realized that this was exactly what Twilight Cloud Island originally looked like!
So everything she saw earlier was real...
Could it be real that Xie Sixing called her name in the illusion?
The area marked with the moon on her arm began to heat up, and fragments flashed before Ye Li's eyes.
The image shows her, and... Xie Sixing...
