Without a doubt, they were among the first demonic cultivators to separate their divine souls and enter the inner realm of the mirror.
Why haven't they come out yet?
"We can't get out."
Chu Hongluan smiled coldly, "The Mirror Spirit has violated its own rules to release us, and is already very weak. I'm afraid it won't be able to maintain the operation of that world. It can only stop time and turn the living beings back into nutrients little by little."
"Then what about this mirror?"
A female cultivator from the Jade Maiden Sect asked timidly.
After a moment's thought, Chu Hongluan waved her hand, and the Samsara Mirror disappeared on the spot, entering her spatial bracelet.
"It's mine."
"......"
"What, it's all thanks to me that you all managed to get out safely this time. You have a problem with taking some spoils of war?"
No, no.
Although everyone has now regained their memories, in the Mirror Realm, Chu Hongluan's meticulous mind, volatile temper, and tendency to resort to violence at the slightest provocation still left them with a considerable psychological deterrent.
Besides, now is not the time to dwell on this. Many of their fellow disciples were killed by demonic cultivators in the Mirror Realm, leaving only their cold, lifeless corpses.
Each of the elders collected the remains of their disciples, placed them in a mustard seed bag, and their faces were filled with sorrow.
Even before entering the cave, they were mentally prepared for the possibility of sacrifice, but they certainly wouldn't die from the demonic cultivators' schemes.
"I have a question."
The one who spoke was Feng Sili, the chief disciple of Penglai, who had been relatively unknown lately.
"explain."
"Elder Chu used all sorts of schemes to get those demonic cultivators to ultimately join you in threatening the Mirror Spirit?"
He was unaware that Chu Hongluan had previously engaged in various underhanded tactics, eventually becoming the leader of the demonic cultivators. Chu Hongluan was too lazy to explain from beginning to end, only saying, "It was just a small misleading thing, making them think that destroying the world would wipe us all out."
"Elder Chu is indeed a man of extraordinary wisdom."
"That's natural."
Chu Hongluan showed no modesty whatsoever. As she spoke, she looked down at the half of the jade pendant at her waist, which was burning hot.
Looking again at Liu Jinghong's waist, it was completely empty.
Liu Jinghong was also surprised. Then, following the guidance of the jade pendant, the two of them focused their attention on Mo Yu's hand.
"I just found it, and I'm returning it to its rightful owner."
Moyudao.
A flash of murderous intent crossed Liu Jinghong's eyes.
He recalled that when he entered the mirror earlier, Mo Yu brushed past him and even bumped into him.
So they were after his jade pendant!
Liu Jinghong took the jade pendant and hung it back on her waist.
"Since Young Master Mo has retrieved the jade pendant for me, then I will give Young Master Mo a piece of advice: it is best not to covet what does not belong to you, otherwise you will bring trouble upon yourself and eventually burn yourself."
Mo Yu's face paled, and after a long pause, he murmured, "How will you know if something belongs to you if you don't try?"
Liu Jinghong's eyes grew increasingly cold.
"Next time, I'll make you pay the price. Those who do many evil deeds will surely perish. You'd better watch yourself."
After uttering this statement, which was almost a declaration of war, Liu Jinghong ignored him and turned back to Chu Hongluan's side.
Looking at the jade pendants on their waists, Chu Hongluan finally understood the operating rules of the Mirror Realm.
No wonder, no wonder half of the jade pendant was in Mo Yu's hands in the content woven by the Mirror Spirit!
The Mirror World is like a large-scale murder mystery game, where each person is assigned a role and a script is written based on their truest inner thoughts.
For example, she's lustful—well, she didn't even know she was so lustful before she entered the Mirror Realm, thankfully she restrained herself.
Just like Liu Jinghong's unruly and ruthless nature.
Just like Kotinghe's lousy behavior of carrying a knife and wanting to fight anyone he sees.
Magical artifacts and weapons that have been bound to their owners by blood will have replicas created in the Mirror Realm that conform to the rules of the world. For example, this pair of mandarin duck pendants, her cursed sun, and... Liu Jinghong's fan.
Chu Hongluan's gaze unconsciously lingered on the fan he was gently waving in his hand.
So this fan was always that kind of deadly weapon...?
The reason I've never seen him use it is... because I'm afraid she'll think he's cruel and thus develop a dislike for him.
Nonsense.
Liu Jinghong also noticed Chu Hongluan's gaze, and her hand immediately froze.
She finally remembered that when she was in the Mirror World, she had completely exposed the dark side of herself that she had been trying so hard to hide in front of her.
Do you know how to use a knife?
"?"
Liu Jinghong was taken aback.
Will it?
"Slightly familiar with it."
Chu Hongluan tossed Eri into his arms and spread her hands, saying, "Let me borrow the Jade Bone Fan."
"Okay, sure."
Liu Jinghong was completely bewildered.
Chu Hongluan took the fan, skillfully played with it between her fingers, and then, imitating him, unfolded it with a snap and leisurely swayed it in front of her chest.
Compared to Liu Jinghong, she possessed an even more enviable air of carefree elegance.
She stood where the Mirror of Reincarnation originally stood, looked back, and found a point of light.
"Do you see that point of light?"
Chu Hongluan called everyone over: "That should be the real entrance to the next level. If none of you elders have anything else to do, you can take your disciples and go straight in."
Demonic cultivators are not to be feared, but there is a demon in the Tribulation Transcending stage among them. Only the elder of the Blade Sect can stay and fight him, and this battle will be a matter of life and death.
Moreover, for the others, staying behind would be tantamount to suicide.
However, there was still a long way to go inside the cave. They couldn't abandon their strongest forces at the entrance to the second level, otherwise they would be in a difficult situation if they encountered danger again.
Therefore, the best approach right now is to just go ahead and acquire the inheritance first.
"Where is Elder Chu?" Elder Daozong asked noncommittally.
"I will stay and meet with these demonic cultivators for a while."
"Elder Chu is very righteous." The elder of the Sword Sect glanced at his only descendant and thought to himself, "It's true that fools are lucky. He entered the Mirror Realm and immediately latched onto a powerful figure. Otherwise, with his brain, he would probably have died a thousand times over in there."
"You! You stay and follow Elder Chu! Gain more experience!"
"Okay!" Ke Tinghe readily agreed.
Chu Hongluan smiled enigmatically: "Didn't you just say you didn't want to go?"
Ke Tinghe patted his chest vigorously, full of pride: "No, to be precise, it's that I don't want to deliver the vegetables by myself, but now that I'm with the two of you, I feel much more confident."
Seeing that his silly boy got along quite well with them, the elder of the Sword Sect entrusted him to Chu Hongluan with peace of mind. He then stroked his mustache contentedly and led the others to the next level.
Chu Hongluan stopped paying attention to them and focused her gaze back on the battlefield, squinting as she searched back and forth in the Xuan Tian firelight, accurately locking onto Lan Xiao's location.
"I've found you."
