Chapter 470: Chapter 49 Trapped [Ask for Monthly Tickets!] _1

Blood moon, eerie spectacle, bones gloomy.

In the dream world of the Nightmare Demon King, the former dynasty’s army encircled the White Bone Palace, resisting the chaos and evil brought by the Blood Moon with raging evil spirits.

After seeing off Chu Liang and his party, the old Prime Minister quietly sat cross-legged at the entrance of the White Bone Palace, as if waiting for something.

After a long while, a figure fell from the distant sky.

A woman dressed in a colourful satin robe with a slender figure and fair skin, a pair of enchanting fox-like eyes, does not reveal any flirtation. Because those eyes emanate deep dignity and vicissitudes, those who meet her gaze often can only avoid it, dare not harbor any fantasies.

She lightly walked towards the White Bone Palace. The soldiers of the former dynasty in the middle turned their spears to intercept her, but anyone who looked at her immediately fell to the ground in dismay.

The thudding sounds merged into one continuous sound, by the time she reached the front of the Palace, a large number of former dynasty soldiers had already fallen behind her.

She didn’t even turn her gaze around.

"I respected your loyalty and believed your words, but you deceived me," said Cai Yi, looking at the old Prime Minister and speaking in a light voice.

The former Prime Minister fearlessly met her gaze, and smilingly said, "I am loyal to my old country and also to the Human Clan. To think that I would assist the demonic clan was wishful thinking on your part."

"Then you have utterly ruined the hope of restoration," she said.

"If all our descendants are to kneel under the rule of the demonic clan, what use is the resurrection of the Divine State or the Restoration?" The old Prime Minister shook his head: "How would you beastly creatures understand this?"

Cai Yi fell silent for a moment, then said, "I do admire this kind of... morality of the human clan. This kind of spiritual power is intangible and invisible, yet it is the key to distinguishing the Human Clan from the other clans. The reason why the Human Clan has always been able to rule the Nine States Land is because there are too many people like you."

After a pause, she continued, "I offer you the last chance, as long as you are willing to be used by me, I promise you can establish your nation. Even when the demonic race returns to Nine States, you will have your independent territory. You should know your current situation, once the Nightmare Demon King wakes up, the dream world shatters, you will immediately turn back into ignorant ghosts... If the people of the Yu Dynasty arrive, they will immediately destroy you. It can be said that except for me, currently no one can save you."

"It seems you still don’t understand," the old Prime Minister merely shook his head again, and then closed his eyes.

The expression on his face simply conveyed one sentence, kill or flay, it’s up to you.

Cai Yi sighed, not saying anything more. With a leap, ripples appeared in the air, and her figure had already disappeared into them.

The barriers within this dream world were unbreakable for Chu Liang and the others, and they had to find the connecting portal to enter and leave. But for her, a giant demon whose cultivation may not be inferior to the creator of the dream world, it was easy to go in and out.

As for the remnants of the former dynasty, she was reluctant to take action to kill them, nor did she need to do it herself.

Just as she said before, if her mission to awake the Nightmare Demon King is successful, the dream world will shatter, and these people will immediately turn into lone wild ghosts; even if she fails, it will definitely attract the attention of the Yu Dynasty, by then these remnants of the former dynasty will only face the most brutal purge.

Nevertheless, under such circumstances, the old Prime Minister still does not want to work for her, which is indeed somewhat beyond her expectations.

The Human Clan is always like this.

She didn’t experience the great war of gods and demons herself, but when faced with a being similar to a God of ninth realm, the Human Clan was unyielding in their resistance and finally did create the miracle of God slaying.

Cai Yi believes this is the power of civilization, so she learns human civilization in the Far West Land, but how long would it take for the demonic clan to become like this?

She doesn’t know.

...

"Qing Yuan..."

"Lianhua..."

In the main hall, Gu Qingyuan and Ji Lianhua embraced each other, weeping. Their reunion after a separation of thirty years is moving.

"Lianhua, you finally arrived," Gu Qingyuan held Ji Lianhua’s hand, "It has been a tough journey for you, hasn’t it?"

"I came too late," Ji Lianhua shook her head forcefully, looking affectionately at her lover, "Pitying you, alone and solitary, pitying you, alone in the empty mountains, waiting for me for a full thirty years..."

Watching their sentimental interaction, the others didn’t know what to say. Fortunately, after the emotional exchange, Gu Qingyuan’s gaze looked back at everyone.

"Lianhua, time is running out," he said solemnly, "You must escape from here and seek reinforcements."

"Right!" Ji Lianhua responded, "We’ll leave together!"

"I..." Gu Qingyuan suddenly hesitated, "I cannot leave..."

"What did you say?" Ji Lianhua’s eyes narrowed.

Hearing him say this, everyone around them immediately turned serious.

"As you might have noticed, I am but a primordial spirit now..." Gu Qingyuan said, "My physical body is underneath this main hall, suppressing the Nightmare Demon King."

"Ah?" Ji Lianhua did indeed feel something was wrong, but she hadn’t had the chance to ask. As the primordial spirit of a great seventh realm cultivator was complete, there didn’t seem to be any obvious differences, and the others naturally didn’t notice either.

"In those days, I obtained a old map, wishing to enter the Zhennan Region’s Mountain to find the treasure of the Supreme Ancient Dream Immortal and seek an opportunity to break through to Heaven’s Gate." Gu Qingyuan began, "But upon entering this secret realm, I discovered something was amiss."

"I wasn’t the first to arrive here. Before me, the Nightmare Demon King and the former dynasty’s young emperor had already delved into the layers of dreams. I only entered the dream of this young emperor. When I arrived, the Nightmare Demon King’s inner self in the dream was about to awaken."

Upon hearing this, everyone understood what Cai Yi had been seeking.

In some dreams, dreamers experience everything from a third-person perspective, not involving themselves in anything. But in some, there exists a dream-self who seems to live through the happenings. When this dream-self’s consciousness faces a strong shock, it may awaken from the dream.

For beings of the level of the Dream Fairy Immortal or Nightmare Demon King, whether they wish to leave their dream-self is entirely up to them.

The Nightmare Demon King clearly did so, preparing for his future awakening.

After three thousand years, its dream-self gradually matured, ready to awaken itself.

Lucky for it, some parasites had come into its dream at that moment - an army led by the prime minister of the former dynasty.

The Nightmare Demon King’s dream-self was not as powerful as its real body, it only had cultivation of the Seventh Realm in the dream, so the forces were evenly matched.

"At that time, I happened to encounter the old prime minister fighting with the Nightmare Demon King’s dream-self. I immediately rushed to help, tying up the Nightmare Demon King’s dream-self with my bare hands in a rush. The old prime minister helped me to seal me along with the consciousness of the Nightmare Demon King, barring the evil demon from waking up for a while." Gu Qingyuan said, "With the help of the old prime minister, my primordial spirit survived here and found the dream technique inheritance of the Dream Fairy Immortal."

At this point, he gave a bitter smile.

"Ironically, all I wanted in my life was to reach the Seventh Realm, and then go to the Ji family to formally marry you." Gu Qingyuan sighed, "But after I broke through the Seventh Realm, I couldn’t find you either. I’ve been waiting here for many years, and finally found someone who could deliver a message for me."

Chu Liang felt slightly embarrassed.

If he had earlier thought of the possibility that Second Lady Gu was Ji Lianhua, perhaps everyone could have arrived earlier, giving them a step ahead of the Demon Queen.

But after hearing these accounts, he also understood why the former dynasty’s old prime minister outright refused to help Cai Yi awaken the Nightmare Demon King.

It turns out that the Nightmare Demon King’s dream-self was sealed by his own hands.

Even if he helped to awaken the Nightmare Demon King, there would be no benefits for him. Rather than betray the Human Clan again, it would be better to stand firm.

Of course, this is just some malicious speculation.

Regardless, he is worthy of admiration.

"The most important thing right now is for you to leave here." Gu Qingyuan continued, "This issue is of great significance, as long as we can find the holder of Tianyuan to take action, the crisis will resolve itself."

"Yes, you have to leave soon." Ji Lianhua also said, then looked at Gu Qingyuan, "I won’t go, I’ll stay here with you."

"Lianhua..." Gu Qingyuan wanted to persuade her again.

Chu Liang immediately sensed a slight danger. This wouldn’t be the start of a tug of war, would it?

Luckily, Yan Qihu waved his large sleeves, "It’s not about whether you want to go or not now, but whether we can go or not. Let’s go and see if we can break through that barrier first! If we can’t, everyone is going to die!"

His booming voice immediately broke the gloomy atmosphere between the two, pulling everyone back into reality.

The group didn’t waste any more words, and immediately flew to the edge of the Dream Abyss.

Above the abyss was a thick, cocoon-like barrier, like white threads intertwined extremely densely, covering all the places one could see, wrapping the entire Dream Abyss.

This white cocoon not only blocked the physical body, it also blocked any spiritual transfer. Any form of divine skills could not pass through, including Shrinkage.

"Mr. Wei and I have been studying this for most of the day." Gu Qingyuan said, "With our combined efforts, we have been unable to break it."

Before the others arrived, he and Wei Lang had already attempted several times to open this cocoon and send out a message. The magic of the divine skills is profound but insufficient for this challenge.

If one wants to open this cocoon with the cultivation of the Seventh Realm, I’m afraid only a sword cultivator like Daoist Yan would do.

"Let me try." Yan Qihu toughened up, circulated his energy, gathered all his strength, and punched upwards!

Boom-

The white cocoon was woven out of some unknown substance, being incredibly tough and viscous. Yan Qihu’s punch, which could shatter mountains, merely created a slight bounce upon it.

Furthermore, countless white threads extended out instantly, intending to bind Yan Qihu to the cocoon barrier!

Fortunately, his agility enabled him to dodge quickly. The countless white threads extended for more than ten feet, floated in the air for a while, then returned to the cocoon.

Not only did his punch fail to work, but it seemed to have awakened a sleeping snake. The loud boom echoed through the mountaintop, with echoes lingering.

Suddenly, a serene laughter drifted from the distance.

"You want to leave?" It was a soft woman’s voice, "As long as you tell me where the Nightmare Demon King is, I’ll let you go..."
