Chapter 91 The Demon Clan Appears_2
Lu Yi looked at Jiang Fan with some surprise. Truly befitting of Brother Jiang, even other cultivators at the peak of the Foundation Establishment were nearly fully succumbed to the illusions, yet he, merely at the Foundation Establishment Third Layer, was almost on par with Han Yu and Yun Xi.
Lu Yi took a deep breath, spiritual power surged from his brow, and he shouted, "Awake!"
His voice resonated like the striking of evening drums and morning bells, his spiritual power vibrating in tandem with his spiritual power, shaking the consciousness of the other disciples. Instantly, a group of cultivators jerked awake, showing signs of regaining alertness.
Yun Xi was the first to wake up. She opened her pure eyes, looked around cautiously, and upon seeing Lu Yi, she breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Lu Yi, was it you who woke me up? You've saved me once again."
Lu Yi smiled, "It was but a trifle, Taoist Yun Xi need not mind it. Besides, even without me, you probably wouldn't have been lost in it."
Yun Xi shook her head seriously, "My grandmother always taught me to reciprocate kindness."
Seeing Yun Xi's serious expression, Lu Yi smiled helplessly, "Taoist Yun Xi doesn't have to be so concerned."
Yun Xi still shook her head, she pondered for a moment, then said, "People often say that one should commit themself in return for a life-saving grace. How about I become your Taoist couple? Although we don't have feelings for each other, I think you're quite good."
Lu Yi: "???"
He froze, his expression stiff. Was this really happening?
"Cough cough!"
Just then, a cough sounded. Lu Yi turned his head and saw that Han Yu had also woken up.
His face, as beautiful as that of a woman, was as serene as ever, "Did I wake up too early?"
Lu Yi shook his head seriously, "No, you woke up just in time."
Otherwise, he didn't know how to respond to Yun Xi's words. This woman's thought process was quite preposterous.
Han Yu chuckled softly, looking at Lu Yi, "I am a man, so I won't promise myself to you in return. But for this life-saving grace, if you need anything in the future, just come to me."
Lu Yi: "..."
So they were still stuck on this topic of committing oneself as recompense?
Lu Yi laughed helplessly, "Fellow Taoist Han Yu is too courteous, it was just a small effort on my part."
Han Yu shook his head calmly, without further ado.
Not long after, Jiang Fan came to his senses, which surprised Yun Xi and Han Yu as they looked at him.
A cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Third Layer was able to regain consciousness so quickly, which surprised them both greatly.
Jiang Fan tucked away the white bottle, exhaled a breath of stale air, looked at Lu Yi and smiled, "Thanks to you, Junior Brother Lu."
Lu Yi smiled, "Brother Jiang doesn't need to be polite."
Jiang Fan nodded, no longer saying much. Lu Yi had helped him too much already; this time was no different.
As more and more cultivators woke up, they all had looks of fear on their faces.
"Was that just now the Blood Slaughter Illusion Realm? Such a realistic illusion, I really felt as if I'd become one of those cultivators!"
"Thanks to Taoist Lu Yi, otherwise, we might have been trapped in the illusion to die within it."
One after another, the cultivators expressed their gratitude to Lu Yi.
After a while, all the cultivators were completely awake, and Lu Yi also let out a sigh of relief.
He was currently on a task, after all. It would be best if no one died, to bring all these people out alive so that his reward would be the greatest.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Before long, everyone had recovered most of their spiritual energy.
Lu Yi then stood up and said, "We've rested enough, let's move on."
Han Yu and Yun Xi stood up as well, and the others followed suit.
The group left the valley and continued their journey towards the North to the Escape Land.
It wasn't until they left the valley that Lu Yi noticed the surroundings were enveloped by a pale red fog, reducing visibility significantly.
This pale red fog also contained killing intent which had persisted from the Ancient Era, occasionally dragging people into the Blood Slaughter Illusion Realm, making it extremely perilous.
Fortunately, the Taoist Spirit Energy Vortex inside Lu Yi was exceptionally powerful. Each time he was about to be drawn into an illusion, he would immediately awaken himself and then wake the others, preventing them from falling prey to the illusions.
Even so, everyone was still prone to spiritual exhaustion.
However, fortunately, as the frightening aura in the core area had faded, Exotic Beasts were no longer raging, and the number of Fierce Beasts around was much less than before, making encounters with such beasts less frequent during their journey.
For the group, this meant relatively increased safety.
However, for Lu Yi, it was not such good news. With fewer Strange Beasts, his task rewards diminished.
Fortunately, the amount of Myriad Spirit Dew he had collected was plentiful enough for him to cultivate for quite a while.
Moving through the red fog, even Lu Yi could easily get mentally fatigued, as they could not cover much distance in a day and had to find a place to rest.
It took them three full days to arrive at the North of the East Forest Ruins.
They reached a desolate burnt land area.
The energy of blood and slaughter in this area was even more potent than other regions, although not as strong as the core area, it was still terrifying.
Upon entering this region, even Lu Yi had to proceed with utmost caution because he sensed the presence of many powerful Golden Core Strange Beasts and, in the distance, could sense the breath of Nascent Soul Beasts.
Everyone moved forward in silence.
"This is just our bad luck; usually, in the outskirts, we'd only encounter the weaker Golden Core Realm Strange Beasts at most."
"Exactly, and now even Nascent Soul Strange Beasts are appearing around the outer regions."
Many murmured complaints in hushed tones, their expressions showing extreme fatigue.
Days of continuous travel, together with the sporadic plunges into illusions, experiencing the ancient battles, left them mentally exhausted.
What do you think?
