Chapter 884: Chapter 431: Water Moon You Tan, The Third Dream

The capital, inside the underground palace.

Ye Zhuchan sat silently at the center of the altar, her hands resting on her knees, forming an odd Dharma Seal, while strands of blue-white mystical light intertwined and coiled around her like spiritual snakes.

Beside her, a Nine-tailed Fox lazily lay, its fluffy tails scattered casually on the ground.

It squinted its eyes, seemingly in a drowsy state.

Suddenly, Ye Zhuchan’s tightly clasped jade fingers flicked open, making a slight "pop" sound.

The surrounding light snapped and dissipated into invisibility.

Ye Zhuchan abruptly opened her eyes.

"What happened?"

The Nine-tailed Demon Fox, startled by the sudden disturbance, quickly asked.

Ye Zhuchan frowned: "It’s strange, I can’t sense Jiang’s Water Moon Dream Mirror."

"Could it be that the dream mirror test has started?"

The Nine-tailed Demon Fox said.

Ye Zhuchan shook her delicate head: "It shouldn’t be so soon, besides, Qingchen hasn’t fully succumbed to evil."

Ye Zhuchan extended her slender fingers, starting to calculate gently. Moments later, her pretty face changed dramatically: "No, it seems the test has indeed begun."

Ye Zhuchan stood up and said: "Merge your demonic power with me, I’m going to meet someone."

The Nine-tailed Demon Fox said: "Don’t be tense, maybe that Demon Venerable is up to something, communicating with Jiang. You should try sensing again later."

"Quickly!"

Ye Zhuchan felt an ominous premonition in her heart, glaring at the Nine-tailed Demon Fox.

The Nine-tailed Demon Fox muttered discontentedly and then gently raised its nine luxurious tails, which transformed into a brilliant white light and integrated into Ye Zhuchan’s body.

The next moment, Ye Zhuchan appeared at the edge of Huailan Lake.

Outside the lake, monks from Wuchan Temple were arduously repairing the golden Buddha, attempting to re-suppress the Nine-tailed Demon Fox and Ye Zhuchan beneath the lake.

Seeing Ye Zhuchan appear, everyone was taken aback, eyes widened, then the monks clasped their hands together and bowed to Ye Zhuchan: "Traveler, farewell."

Ye Zhuchan ignored them and directly headed towards King Zhen’s Mansion.

Inside King Zhen’s Mansion.

Zhuge Xuanji, known as the world’s greatest fortune teller, was holding a greasy drumstick, devouring it.

Completely lacking the divine and sage-like demeanor he usually had when divining.

Opposite, Yeying looked full of worry, holding her fragrant cheeks powerlessly, her eyes filled with anxiety.

Suddenly, a fragrant breeze wafted by.

A woman appeared in front of the table.

Quick-reacting Yeying instinctively drew her sword, but after she saw the woman’s face, she stood stunned, full of disbelief: "Ph...Phoenix!?"

In the Sky Shadow Organization, no one knew each other’s real identities; beyond interests, there was no friendship.

Even between her and Phoenix.

Back then, Phoenix made a deal with her, asking her to go to Anhe Village to save a young man named Jiang Shouzhong.

Afterward, news of Phoenix’s death spread.

Later, through the "Water Moon Dream Mirror," she finally understood that Phoenix was Ye, also known as Ye Zhuchan to Jiang Shouzhong.

However, now, this woman who should have died in Anhe Village appeared here, causing Yeying to be shocked.

Before Yeying could recover, Zhuge Xuanji’s body traced a clumsy arc through the air, then heavily crashed into the wall.

His neck seemed to be tightly clutched by an invisible hand.

Yeying’s face changed, she instinctively swung a palm towards the mysterious woman, only to discover her body was immobile.

The next second, she kneeled on the ground with a thud.

She bit her silver teeth, using all her strength to raise her head, staring fiercely at Ye Zhuchan before her, loudly questioning: "Phoenix, what are you doing!?"

"The third test of the Water Moon Dream Mirror isn’t due yet, why did the test suddenly begin?"

Ye Zhuchan said nothing extraneous, stared directly at Zhuge Xuanji, her beautiful eyes radiating killing intent, "Say, is it you secretly playing tricks?!"

Zhuge Xuanji’s face flushed red, he was gasping for air.

Waving the drumstick in his hand, he pointed to the compass on the table, mumbling.

Seeing this, Yeying’s expression instantly grew tense.

After all, she knew the Water Moon Dream Mirror was with Jiang Shouzhong.

Ye Zhuchan flicked her sleeve, Zhuge Xuanji fell to the ground with a "thud", coughing violently.

As he coughed, Zhuge Xuanji said:

"You have quite the foul temper, woman. If something happened to Jiang, what’s it got to do with me, I..."

Seeing the sharp look in the woman’s eyes, Zhuge Xuanji’s words of complaint that were about to come out were forcibly swallowed back.

He climbed clumsily from the ground using both hands and feet, snatched the compass from the table and said: "Wait a bit, let me calculate what’s going on."

Saying this, his mouth, still stained with chicken drumstick grease, opened.

Three "pop, pop, pop" sounds, and three greasy copper coins with a suspicious gleam were spat onto the compass.

Then, Zhuge Xuanji tightly gripped the compass with both hands, shaking it vigorously, looking like a charlatan swindling on the street.

Pa!

Zhuge Xuanji slammed the compass onto the table.

He carefully nudged the three copper coins, eyes glued to their arrangement, muttering under his breath.

Moments later, Zhuge Xuanji took a sharp breath, looked up at Ye Zhuchan and solemnly said: "You were right, the third test really has started."

"What test?" Ye Zhuchan asked.

Zhuge Xuanji stroked his grease-laden beard, pointing to the copper coins on the compass, and softly chanted: "Seeking traces of immortality in a mysterious realm, a whiff of incense turns into a maze."

"You Tan..."

Ye Zhuchan’s pupils constricted, her red lips uttered two words.

Zhuge Xuanji nodded: "Indeed, it’s her."

Ye Zhuchan stared at him with suspicion: "Why is it You Tan? Normally, the next dream mirror test should be the Shura I arranged."
