“Luo Die? Luo Die?”

Xiao Chen walked in the depths of the thick fog. Just now, Luo Die was still beside him. In the blink of an eye, he had already disappeared. He shouted several times in succession, but there was no response from the other party.

“It’s an illusion …”

At this moment, he realized something. Although this illusion was an illusion, it was like a real world. If he died inside, he would really die.

For some reason, a shallow fear gradually spread from his heart to his entire body.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the thick fog did not dissipate. There seemed to be no end in front of him. Xiao Chen condensed his divine sense and walked forward. For some reason, he felt more and more familiar with it.

Finally, the dense fog in front of him gradually dispersed, and what entered his eyes was the scene that he had once been incomparably familiar with.

Xiao Chen’s heart trembled. He stood there blankly and stared at the candlelight in the room. He looked at the white hair on both sides of Ah Niang’s temples and the young man himself. He had just fought with Prince Zhao’s grandson …

“Fighting with someone again.”

“No, I accidentally fell into a ditch while chasing wild boars.”

“Dinner, I’ll go to the town to deliver some work tomorrow. You get up early and deliver a piece of cloth to Second Uncle Shen of South Village.”

“Oh, well-behaved, and you don’t do anything, why did you suddenly send something?”

“Little Jing and you are about the same age. I’m not going to make a fuss. Will you two get married in another three or two years?”

“Pfft! Niang, I’m still a child. Isn’t it too early?”

“It’s still early. How old is Erniu next door? She’s married now. What about you? You run up and down the mountain all day, or fight with people. If you continue like this, which girl will fall in love with you in the future? I’ll take out my savings from all these years and settle down in the city so that you can get married.”

“I’m not going.”

“Why don’t you go!”

“If I don’t go, then I won’t go. I won’t get married.”

“Then what do you want to do?”

“I want to cultivate! When I learn Xuanqing Sect’s spell, I will beat that Prince Sun Zhao to the ground and find his teeth. He won’t be able to get up!”

…

“Ah Niang …”

As the cold wind blew by, Xiao Chen’s eyes were already a little wet. He looked at the familiar scene in the hut, but only the afterimage of his hand reached out …

No matter how cold and heartless his temperament had become these past few years, this was the only place where he felt warmth, the only place where his heart would not be tainted by turbid light.

However, at this moment, his heart was empty.

Taking a deep breath, he closed his eyes and didn’t want to look anymore. He knew that this was the illusion of a heart demon. If he stayed in front of him, he wouldn’t be able to leave.

After an unknown amount of time, a trace of blood suddenly permeated through the cold wind, causing his entire body to tremble. No, no, although this place was an illusion, everything was real. No … no!

“Ah Niang!”

Xiao Chen suddenly woke up and forcefully opened his eyes. However, the scene in front of him was filled with corpses and collapsed houses …

“No … no! No! Niang … Niang!”

At this moment, Xiao Chen felt as if his heart had been heavily stabbed by someone. Was it still too late for him to watch helplessly this time? Is it still too late …

“Who is it!”

Suddenly, a figure flashed past from afar. Xiao Chen’s aura was certain. In an instant, he chased after him. The night was boundless. That person climbed over mountains as if he was walking on flat ground. His speed was really fast to the limit.

Xiao Chen’s heart skipped a beat, and his eyes widened. In an instant, he pushed his speed to its limit. Just as he was about to catch up with that person, a strong wind blew over, as if it was tearing him apart.

“You can’t leave!”

Xiao Chen wasn’t afraid of the fierce winds. He instantly circulated the Nine Yin Nine Yang Profound Technique. He desperately circulated the remnant of the Heavenly Book and controlled life and death in an instant. At this moment, his cultivation had almost reached an unprecedented peak. He grabbed the person in front of him.

However, the person in front only lightly twisted his wrist and a finger force came at him. With a “bang”, he actually spat out blood from his mouth and flew backwards.

“No … I want to see who you are, I want to see who you are!”

Xiao Chen’s eyes were bloodshot. At this moment, he seemed to have gone mad. He recklessly circulated his True Essence again. He even chased after the man at the expense of his Life Essence. He forcefully grabbed the man. With a “chi” sound, he only pulled off the corner of the man’s clothes.

However, at this moment, he felt a burst of heart-wrenching pain. What kind of boundless pain was this? It was as if he had fallen into an abyss of cold despair.

“Master …”

Xiao Chen stared blankly at the person in front of him. Why was it Master? Why does Master actually have demonic energy? Master is a heaven-shaking Venerable Yao Guang, a fairy Miao Yin who is respected by the people of the world. Why … why does she have such a heavy devil qi on her body at this moment!

“Chen’er …”

“No … no! You’re not Master, you’re not Master, you’re the devil in your heart! Ah!”

Xiao Chen’s eyes were about to crack as a dagger suddenly appeared in his hand. It stabbed at the person in front of him. With a “chi” sound, blood splashed everywhere and the dagger pierced through the person in front of him in the abdomen.

“Uh … Chen’er …”

“Master … I killed Master. Why, isn’t Master the most important person? Why would I kill Master … No, no!”

Xiao Chen raised his hand and looked at his blood-stained hands. They were exactly the same as those in the dream world. The dreadful dream world when he was a child, it turned out that his hands were stained with blood. He had personally killed Master!

“Master … no, no!”

…

“Senior Brother? Senior Brother? Are you having another nightmare?”

The scene in front of him gradually became blurry and clear. Xiao Chen opened his eyes. It was no longer the ghostly mountain range in front of him, but an exquisite room. The person standing in front of him was his junior sister, whom he had not seen for a long time. She was still like a sixteen-year-old girl, dressed in feathers and fluttering like a little fairy who didn’t eat fireworks in the world.

“Junior Sister? This is … Purple Night Peak?”

Xiao Chen sat up from his bed. What was going on? Why did he return to Purple Night Peak? Everything in front of him was real, it was impossible for it to be fake. Why … Could it be that he had a very long nightmare?

“Senior Brother? What’s wrong with you?”

Nichang came to him and waved his hand in front of him. He frowned and whispered to himself, “Looks like your injuries haven’t fully healed yet. Two years ago, on the summit of Mount Qiong in Dongjie, you and Martial Uncle Ling Yin were plotted by the Diabolism monsters. Those Diabolism monsters are truly despicable …”

“Two years ago, at the top of Mount Qiong …”

Xiao Chen rubbed his forehead. He remembered that he and his master had been trapped at the top of Mount Qiong the other day. Xie Tianluo, Yu Qianji, and the others wanted an ancient book from the Xuanqing Sect …

“Hehe, looking at your stupid appearance, you must not remember anything, right?” Nichang smiled and looked at him.

“What?”

Xiao Chen looked at her. At this moment, he felt a little dizzy. It seemed that there were indeed some things that he could not remember.

“Humph! I knew you wouldn’t remember!”

Nichang pouted at him with a look of resentment in his eyes. Seeing that he was stupid and still couldn’t remember, he said angrily, “Think about it again. What did you ask me yesterday?”

“I…”

Xiao Chen scratched his head, but he still couldn’t remember why his memory was blurry.

Nichang bit his lips and looked at him lightly. He lowered his head, as if two sunsets were rising on his face. He whispered, “You asked me, did I like you? Don’t you remember so quickly?”

“Ah! I remember …”

“You … Hmph!”

Nichang raised his head and glared at him. He tilted his head as if he was angry. Xiao Chen scratched his head and smiled foolishly, “Then Junior Sister … do you like me?”

“You …”

Nichang blushed. He lowered his head and didn’t say anything. Finally, he was in a dilemma for a long time. He raised his head and lightly leaned forward, closing his eyes.

At this moment, Xiao Chen felt as if his entire body had suffered an electric shock. He felt as if his junior sister’s sweet aura was about to melt into his nose. In the end, the tip of his tongue touched a trace of sweetness. The two of them trembled and separated like lightning.

“Senior Brother hates it!”

Nichang blushed and flew out of the door. Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment. He hurriedly got up and chased after him. Outside, he saw a splendid scene with petals dancing in the air. It was like a dream …

Xiao Chen took a deep breath. It turned out that this world was so beautiful, but why … Why was his heart so empty, as if he had lost something?

“Senior Brother! You’re dumbfounded again …”

“Ah? I … didn’t.”

Xiao Chen smiled gently. He held her hand and came to a cliff. Looking at the petals flying in the air, Nichang suddenly smiled and said, “Winter is coming. It’s going to snow in Purple Night Peak again …”

“Yes …”

Looking at the petals flying in front of him, Xiao Chen smiled and said, “There are five flowers of plants in this world, and six snowflakes alone. Therefore, the snowflakes have another name, called … Uh!”

“Senior Brother! What’s wrong with you?”

“It’s fine … I didn’t know why, but my head suddenly hurt a little.”

Xiao Chen rubbed his forehead. Wei Yang … Why were these two words so familiar? Why … Weiyang … Weiyang!

At this moment, he finally remembered everything. This was the illusion of the twelve-fingered Heart Demon! Although this world was not fake, it was not his original world! His original world had never been able to return! He had long since been unable to return!

“Senior Brother! Where are you going!”

“Wei Yang, wait for me, wait for me, I will definitely come back to save you!”

“Senior Brother! Don’t go! Then there’s the Immortal Burying Cliff ahead. It’s so dangerous there. Come back quickly!”

“Wei Yang … wait for me!”

When he arrived at the Immortal Burial Cliff, Xiao Chen closed his eyes and jumped down the bottomless cliff. In an instant, Nichang flew over and saw that he had disappeared from the cliff. Tears gradually gathered in his eyes, “Why … why did you come back? Why can you come back again even though everything is fine, but you still can’t forget that witch …”

…

The surroundings became clear. The thick fog dispersed, and Xiao Chen left the illusion and returned to the real world.

“Luo Die!”

Luo Die squatted in a bush, her entire body trembling, as if she was extremely frightened. Xiao Chen quickly walked over and didn’t respond to a few shouts. Finally, he extended his two fingers into her divine sea with a divine sense. After a long time, he finally woke her up.

“Ah!”

Luo Die woke up and felt as if she was in a nightmare. Her entire body trembled uncontrollably. After a long time, it slowly stabilized. Xiao Chen asked with a frown, “Where are the others?”

“No … I don’t know.”

Luo Die shook her head. At this moment, her entire body was drenched in cold sweat. Her exquisite and delicate body seemed to be faintly visible. She was shocked. She hurriedly covered her chest with her hand and said, “That was the Heart Demon Illusion just now. Once she entered, as long as she was most afraid in the depths of her heart, something would often appear …”

“The thing I’m most afraid of …”

Xiao Chen’s brows furrowed as he recalled the scene in the illusion. Why did he see Master in Ning Village? Why did Master look like he had entered a demon? Why did he personally kill Master …

His entire body trembled. At this moment, it was as if he had fallen into an icy cold pond. It turned out that the thing he feared the most in the depths of his heart was not seeing Wei Yang helpless, but that he wanted to personally kill Master one day …
