“The formation which has trapped me here is called the Death Formation. 99 enemies of mine have sacrificed their lives to set up this formation. So of course, their descendants won’t know.” The little creature’s words shocked Hua Qiyue and Yun Shimo to the core.

99 enemies sacrificing their lives?

While this little creature had seemed so harmless, its abilities were really mind-boggling.

“Sir, are you that powerful evil beast from over 10,000 years ago?” The corner of Hua Qiyue’s lips twitched. They had unintentionally barged into this cave and experienced such an odd thing!

“Ho, young girl, how audacious you are! How dare you call me a evil beast! The most powerful evil beasts are in the Magic Beasts Forest. After killing me, the Tribe of Evil has reproduced rapidly. All the treasures in the Tianyuan Continent have been seized by them. It’s over 10,000 years. I wonder how Tianyuan Continent is right now.”

The little creature narrowed its eyes as it expressed its yearning.

It had been trapped for too long. It longed to go outside and breathe the fresh air.

“I do not wish to offend you, sir. But Tianyuan Continent is doing well. There are 36 states and the continent is at peace, although there are constant skirmishes.” Hua Qiyue said quietly. Her mind however was turning quickly. She must find a way to escape quickly.

That huge boulder just now could not be removed by the two of them. Even another Hua Qiyue would make no difference.

“Oh? It looks like the Tribe of Evil doesn’t mind humans in the Tianyuan Continent. But… their world is already very big and rich. Ho, let’s stop chatting. Let’s begin!”

The little creature gave no further indication and disappeared at once.

Hua Qiyue tensed up. She saw the cave before them light up. It was like another world— a huge expanse of desolate steppes. One could not see even a house or the horizon’s end.

The sky was gloomy. The wind whistled, rolling up Hua Qiyue’s sleeves. Her hair fluttered madly, like black snakes dancing and gyrating. Now, Hua Qiyue really believed that she had been transported to another world. Or was it an imaginary scene?

Yun Shimo surveyed the surroundings and said in a deep voice. “It’s an imaginary scene!”

“How do you know that?”

Hua Qiyue asked, unwilling to accept his supposition. She really could not tell whether this was all an illusion or another world. Everything here looked very, very real. It could not be false!

Yun Shimo squatted down, stretching out his hand to grab a wild flower at his feet. His hand passed through that flower. He could not grasp it.

Hua Qiyue instantly became speechless. So it’s true… that little creature was over 10,000 years old. It must have great abilities. Yet why was this illusion it created so… unrealistic?

Hua Qiyue kicked the grass on the ground brutally. The grass shook a bit and grew again! They started to entangle themselves around Hua Qiyue’s legs.

What powerful grass!

The corner of Hua Qiyue’s mouth twitched. That flower which Yun Shimo had tried to grab had expanded to ten times its original size. It was trying ferociously to devour Yun Shimo!

Yun Shimo gave a cold snort. He waved his long sleeve and a powerful spiritual energy hurled toward the wild flower. Chkk-chkk-chkk! The flower was pierced by waves of spiritual energy and instantly wilted.

Hua Qiyue had also dealt with the grass around her legs. Now, they discovered that the sky was dark-red. She remembered at once her first time in the Mysterious World, when she met Tianpi.

Nearly the same scenario.

Was… the world Tianpi inhabited also an imaginary scene?

“Hua Qiyue, why are you in a daze? Dodge, quick!” She heard an angry bellow. Hua Qiyue came to herself and discovered the sky madly raining red arrows, the arrowheads glinting with strange red light. It made them shiver with fear!

There were too many red arrows. Yun Shimo was brandishing his long sleeves, his inky-dark hair fluttering, his handsome face severe. Countless red arrows had been deviated by him to the ground. But they turned into beams of red light, hurtling savagely toward Hua Qiyue.

Hua Qiyue executed her Mourning Steps, her dancing figure swift and bizarre. The dense shower of red lights and arrows could not touch her body.

But if this continued on, they would exhaust all their spiritual energy and anima energy. If the shower of red arrows still went on like a running piece of machinery, they would surely die!

They had to find a way to resolve this strange phenomenon!

Hua Qiyue thought to herself. As she dealt with the red attack, she pondered over how to resolve it.

Although Yun Shimo did not know Mourning Steps, he still danced around, flapping his long sleeves. His figure was like a graceful stream of flowing water. They were unhurried and perfectly executed.

He too thought about the same problem. Surely, they could not continue in this way.

“The 10,000-year-old spirit animal is indeed powerful. It has set up these traps and mechanisms. It only needs anima energy to operate them… no need for real objects at all! Nobody in Tianyuan Continent could contend with it!” Yun Shimo said quietly. He shut his handsome, slanted eyes and drew all the surrounding anima energy into his body!

The silvery-white anima energy gushed madly into Yun Shimo’s body!

Hua Qiyue noticed the scene and gazed at him with skewed eyes. The man beside her shut his handsome eyes. But his movements were still nimble. None of the red arrows could touch his robe sleeves!

Such perfection, such grace like flowing water… Hua Qiyue had to gasp quietly. Prince Nan was Prince Nan. Tianpi was right. He was both very mysterious and very powerful.

His true strength must have surpassed what was on the surface, by far. In other words, Yun Shimo had been hiding his true power.

“Kill… the Flash Array!” Yun Shimo suddenly opened his profoundly deep eyes. But those inky-black eyes had a streak of blue light in them. Two streaks of blue lightning streamed out!

The blue lightnings bolted out and soared into the sky! The higher they went, the larger they became. In an instant, winds were whirling and whistling. The winds around the blue columns of light swirled into a whirlpool, rapidly drawing the surrounding red arrows and lights into its center!

The arrows attacking Hua Qiyue had been sucked in by Yun Shimo’s blue light columns. Hua Qiyue was now idle. She stared in great astonishment at the two massive pillars of blue light. They were still expanding…

What a powerful move!

It had warded off the attacks of that mysterious, 10,000-year-old presence.

Yun Shimo looked calmly at the light columns, all stained with blue. His thin lips parted slightly. “Explode!”

The two blue light columns instantly exploded. But it had only happened in the sky. The dark-red sky had exploded into a faint red, amid twirling wind! All the red arrows and lights had been consumed by the blue lights and had vanished!

Before her eyes were madly flowing red clouds. Even Hua Qiyue’s small face was red from the reflected light. Yun Shimo was standing underneath the clouds. She cast him a glance with bated breath…

The red clouds were overturning and churning. The man— handsome, dashing, indifferent and calm like an immortal— had his inky-dark hair flapping about a handsome countenance. Those lovely brows, attractive eyes, alluring lips, icy face…

He was like the supreme lord of the immortals in charge of the heavens and the earth. His lordly demeanor made her breathless. His coldness and reserved arrogance made his handsome face even more transcendental. Such extraordinary looks and bearing. How could anyone not fall for him?

Hua Qiyue felt her heart thump wildly. She experienced an anxiety and a loss of self control that she had never undergone before. While she started, a fiery air hurtled wildly toward her. She lost her balance and was knocked carelessly to the ground.

What had happened?

Hua Qiyue was angry and embarrassed. She was a Qi Artist at the lower levels of the Dragon Diagram Realm. How could she be thrown off-balance by the impact of an explosion?

Hua Qiyue had not climbed up when a figure landed ethereally before her, lightning fast. He stretched out his arm and lifted her up. “Are you alright?”

Hua Qiyue looked into his profoundly deep pupils. She lost herself. She was in his warm embrace. The eighth month was really very hot, but now she felt so comfortable, because… Yun Shimo’s embrace carried a faint medicinal scent.

Refreshing and pleasant.

Yun Shimo’s embrace?

Hua Qiyue started and shivered. She finally woke up.

She pushed Yun Shimo away forcefully and got up with a blushing face. “I didn’t ask you to embrace me. Men and women should keep a distance!”

Mockery flit across Yun Shimo’s curving lips and his eyes. “You didn’t react for such a long time. I thought you have gone cuckoo.”

“You are the cuckoo head! Yun Shimo, don’t look for an excuse when you have taken advantage of me!” Hua Qiyue showed a cold face. She did not know why she would lose control every time she met him. She would blabber nonsense and lose her former cool.

Maybe they were a feuding couple. Otherwise, why did she want to tear down his cold mask and look inside to know who he was?

In any case, Hua Qiyue still maintained a certain vigilance against him. After those bizarre weepings from that tower, she had felt that this Prince Nan was a hypocrite— putting on a human face to disguise his wicked, devilish heart!

Were the weepings those of a woman’s?

Was Yun Shimo… a pervert with a special fetish for women?

Hua Qiyue felt that she was really smart to have thought all these. Right now, Yun Shimo was staring at her contemptuously.

“You? Take advantage of you? Hua Qiyue, how can I fall for your flat-as-a-board figure? I’d rather take advantage of myself!” Yun Shimo’s icy snicker made Hua Qiyue shiver!

He, he, he… actually said that she was as flat as a board? Hua Qiyue was about to rebut in rage when she remembered his words…

He would rather touch himself than touch her?

Hua Qiyue could not help but fling her head back, casting away all those unhealthy thoughts.

Yun Shimo retracted his gaze and the sky had turned blue.

“Congratulations, you two have passed the first stage. There are two more. I hope you two can last. You must know that I’ve waited for 10,000 years… 10,000 years!” The voice of the little creature reverberated in the air. Hua Qiyue frowned in despair.

When its voice faded, a series of explosions resounded everywhere. Hua Qiyue became alert. Yun Shimo drew closer to her, in case she could not defend herself.

Yun Shimo was a bit upset. Why should he care about this woman’s life or death?

Four walls rose up from their surroundings. The light began to dim. Two of them raised their heads and saw a huge rock descending from the sky, landing with a loud thud upon the four walls, forming a stone house.

In other words, these five rocks had trapped Hua Qiyue and Yun Shimo inside.

A man and a woman stared helplessly and angrily at their surroundings. These five huge rocks were not ordinary. They were much harder to break through than those mechanisms in the first stage!

Hua Qiyue and Yun Shimo had both struck the huge boulder at the cave opening, but could not move it. And now, five more… What generosity!
