Chapter 467: Chapter 46: Truly a man of character [Seeking monthly pass!]_1

"What the heck--"

Ji Lingyu frowned, her golden eyes brimming with tears, looking like a pear blossom in the rain. She hadn’t experienced such humiliation in her entire life.

She was just greeting someone, and suddenly, she was hit by a brick without any explanation.

She reached up to touch the back of her head, wincing at the intense pain she felt at the lightest touch, she asked, "Is my head swollen?"

Tang Shi glimpsed at it, seeing a clear, frightful bulge, she cracked a smile and said softly, "Just a little bit."

"Really?" Ji Lingyu was somewhat doubtful, it felt so big when she touched it...

"I apologize, Miss Ji." Chu Liang rubbed his hands together on the side, chuckling, "It’s just that we have encountered too many Nightmare Beasts disguised as familiar beings, so I instinctively acted."

"Couldn’t you check first?" Ji Lingyu said indignantly.

"Didn’t we just check..." Chu Liang nodded, "Now we know it’s really you."

After hitting her with the Demon Revealing Treasure Brick, he saw Ji Lingyu faint instead of her brain emitting black smoke, he knew something was wrong. He quickly woke her up, and that’s how they ended up in their current situation.

"Although being cautious here is not a bad thing, you moved a little too fast..." Ji Lingyu muttered.

"It’s just that my hand is faster." Chu Liang laughed modestly.

"Am I praising you?!" Ji Lingyu stamped her foot in exasperation.

Seeing this, Chu Liang quickly changed the subject and asked, "Did Miss Ji wander into this layer all alone?"

"No." Upon hearing his question, Ji Lingyu answered, "I teamed up with Sect Master Yan and Thirteenth Aunt. Just now we ran into that group of soldiers from the former dynasty, they seemed to have recovered their peak strength, becoming incredibly strong. Sect Master Yan clashed with the former dynasty’s Prime Minister and was slightly injured. Thanks to Thirteenth Aunt, we managed to escape. I have excellent vision, so I wanted to get a better look from higher ground."

Were those soldiers from the former dynasty searching for them?

"Then we should hurry and join up with them," Chu Liang suggested.

The three of them descended the mountain together. Halfway down, they saw three figures approaching. It was Yan Qihu, Second Lady Gu, and her attendant Cha Bu.

They were probably worried that Ji Lingyu had been gone for a while and hadn’t returned, thinking she might be in danger, which was why they came after her.

Yan Qihu showed no signs of injury, so he should be fine. On the contrary, the attendant, Cha Bu, looked pale, almost drained of color.

They seemed surprised to see Chu Liang and Tang Shi.

"We’ve been looking for you for a while. Where did you go?"

Once they settled down at the foot of the mountain, Yan Qihu asked first.

"It’s a long story." Chu Liang responded, "There are several layers to this dreamscape. We landed in the dreamscape of the layer below and it took some effort to get here."

"Several layers of the dreamscape?" Yan Qihu was taken aback on hearing this.

It seemed they still hadn’t gotten this information.

Second Lady Gu, however, with a discerning gaze, voiced her thoughts, "Gu Qingyuan mentioned in his message that he was parasitizing the dreamscape of the little emperor from the former dynasty to cultivate the Dao. Could that be another layer of the dream?"

"That should be the case." Chu Liang immediately confirmed his guess, "The bottommost layer is the dreamscape of the Supreme Ancient Dream Immortal, then the Nightmare Demon King parasitized it and created its own dream... which should be where we are now. And the little emperor from the former dynasty parasitized the Nightmare Demon King’s dream, he too must have created his own dream..."

The first time he crossed the Dream Abyss, he should have encountered the topmost dreamscape created by the little emperor, where there were mountains, rivers, palaces, and Gu Qingyuan.

However, this time, for some unknown reason, the Dream Abyss changed, and all the dreamscapes were disrupted, which was why everyone was scattered across different dreamscapes after being swallowed up.

This anomaly... must be related to the woman named Cai Yi, right?

With limited information available, Chu Liang couldn’t guess her intentions. But at least now he could be sure, if they wanted to get out, they had to ascend one layer.

"We must find the body of the former dynasty’s little emperor." He declared decisively.

"That group of soldiers from the former dynasty is quite a problem," Yan Qihu frowned.

Chu Liang also quickly understood their situation.

Yan Qihu, Ji Lingyu, Second Lady Gu, and Cha Bu had all been scattered in the dream of the Nightmare Demon King. Thanks to Yan Qihu, who relied on his Seventh Realm martial arts cultivation to dominate this place, they quickly found each other.

But because he was too arrogant, they encountered that group of soldiers from the former dynasty. He fought against the former Prime Minister at his peak and suffered a minor setback before they escaped.

The Blood Moon shone in the sky here, and normal people would quickly fall into madness.

Thankfully, they had Cha Bu there.

He had a mystical bloodline – if he cut his finger and smeared the divine blood between his eyes, he could see through the nightmare and not be controlled by the Blood Moon. However, as this has been going on for so long, and it was all up to Cha Bu to endure it, it was somewhat insufficient.

This was why Chu Liang had earlier observed Cha Bu with a bloodless face.

"Brother Cha Bu, you’ve been working hard." Chu Liang couldn’t help saying.

This brother from the Western Regions might be skinny, but he was a real man. He said, tilting his head back, "It’s okay. Let me rest for a bit, then I will take care of you two."

A glance from Chu Liang revealed multiple cuts on his hands...

"There’s no need. We have some previously acquired Sacred Talisman Jade Slips that can protect us for a while," Chu Liang said. "Besides, I also have some elixirs here that can stabilize one’s spirit. I’m not sure if they’re effective here, but you can give them a try."

With that, he brought out several small blue elixirs and distributed them among the group.

After taking the elixirs and a brief moment of meditation, they all nodded in agreement: "This elixir really works, the whispering sound from the Blood Moon has faded a lot!"

As long as it works.

That gave Chu Liang peace of mind.

He turned to Cha Bu, who just shook his head: "I don’t need it."

"It’s not an elixir." Chu Liang promptly passed a glass of water over, "Drink some brown sugar water, it will help replenishing."

"Heh, Heh." Yan Qihu laughed, "You’re really prepared. How do you have something like this?"

Chu Liang looked at him and smiled without responding.

Second Lady Gu chuckled: "Sect Master Yan, you must be unmarried, right?"

"Yes, I haven’t." Yan Qihu blinked, puzzled: "How do you know?"

Everyone looked at him, smiling without responding.

...

After a short rest, everyone embarked on their journey again.

To reach the previous layer of the dream, they need to find the body of the little emperor of the former dynasty, which means they have to deal with the soldiers of the former dynasty.

According to Yan Qihu, the former dynasty’s Prime Minister practiced Divine Skills which were extremely difficult to deal with. However, in terms of combat power, he is not that strong.

The reason he is hard to conquer is the thousands of soldiers who form a formidable battle formation with immense killing intent. Under the command of the former Prime Minister, they could kill gods and demons on sight.

"If we cannot defeat them with strength, can we win by strategy?" Chu Liang mused. He looked at everyone: "Miss Ji’s Xuanyuan Pupil is as good as thousand miles gaze, and Second Lady Gu can hide her tracks. Can we confirm the whereabouts of the body of the little emperor first, and then try to sneak in secretly?"

"This plan could work." Second Lady Gu agreed and nodded: "As long as I know where the person is, I can come and go freely."

"I’ll give it a try..." Ji Lingyu also agreed.

Having said that, she stood on top of a high point again, her eyes shining brightly, and started to look into the distance.

She murmured: "I saw them stop in front of a White Bone Palace. That should be their base! I can’t see any further inside..."

"Then let’s check it out." Yan Qihu immediately rose to his feet.

They followed Ji Lingyu’s guidance, and after a short walk, arrived behind another mountain and looked into the distance.

In the middle of a wide open plain, there was a beast skull as big as a mountain. They had turned this skull into a palace-like dwelling.

Thousands of soldiers from the former dynasty stood in perfect formation around the palace.

They could see they were not alive, every one of them preserved the state at the time of their death. Including the former dynasty’s Prime Minister in the front, who had two large holes in his chest.

He must have been killed by an arrow through the heart.

The arrow that could kill such a powerful person would not be shot by an ordinary person.

However, they look very different from the ghost state they were in before, they appear intelligent and their cultivation is intact, clearly much stronger.

The former dynasty’s Prime Minister dismounted from the carriage, flew in the air, and said loudly to everyone: "Soldiers, there is an anomaly in heaven and earth! Please be patient, the day of restoration is not far!"

"Restoration! Restoration!" The soldiers echoed in unison.

Chu Liang couldn’t help but feel amazed. They had real faith.

Instead of thinking about filling the holes in their chest first, they are still thinking about restoration?

The former dynasty has been gone for hundreds of years.

Soon after, the former dynasty’s Prime Minister turned and entered the White Bone Palace.

Seeing this, Second Lady Gu quietly rose and said, "I am going to take a look."

"Be careful." Everyone cautioned.

Second Lady Gu smiled faintly, her figure blurred and she disappeared from everyone’s sight. The next moment, even her breath disappeared.

Having seen Ji Lingfeng hide before, his presence always remained, but Second Lady Gu’s technique was clearly on a higher level. No wonder she was so confident, being able to come and go freely anywhere wasn’t ordinary concealment, this was clearly turning into emptiness!

Looking at the way her cultivation has been increasing, the extraordinary abilities of the Xuanyuan Pupil can be developed gradually, and the upper limit is very high.

"What an amazing technique." Yan Qihu couldn’t help but exclaim.

"Of course." Cha Bu replied, "If our boss wasn’t distracted by that man, she might already be a mighty Seventh Realm cultivator."

"Indeed, it’s a pity." Yan Qihu said, "She sacrificed half of her life for a little love, that’s really..."

"Watch your words." Angrily Second Lady Gu’s voice came from the void, "I haven’t left yet!"

Yan Qihu, without changing his expression, immediately changed his words, "She is indeed a sentimental person."
