Xuanxia

Chapter 416 Inception
After the illusion was broken, both of them breathed a sigh of relief, but Qiu Chan refused to tell what she had seen in the illusion.

"Why do you keep asking me questions?"

She snorted, "You won't tell me either?"

"You wouldn't understand even if I told you." Fu Qingzhou curled his lips.

"How do you know I don't understand if you don't tell me?" Qiu Chan retorted.

But no matter what, after breaking the illusion, the next two things to do are naturally - to investigate whether Wen Qingru is really related to Huixin, and to catch Wen Qingru and her so-called uncle.

"Strange, we've been here for so long, but they didn't notice anything at all?" Qiu Chan frowned as she looked at the rooms with lights on.

Fu Qingzhou shook his head: "They are not practitioners, so it is normal that they can't detect us... But just in case, it is best to make sure they won't interfere with our work and knock them out."

With their level of cultivation, they could naturally hear how many people were in the yard and what the current situation was.

In the south wing, the person who should be asleep is Wen Qingru. Her breathing is even and calm, so she must have fallen asleep, but for some reason the light was still on while she was sleeping.

Wen Kui lived in the east wing. He didn't sleep, but there were noises in the room from time to time, and it sounded like someone was pacing back and forth in the room.

Apart from this, there is no one else.

"Let's split up."

Qiu Chan nodded: "I will knock Wen Qingru unconscious, and you go and deal with Wen Kui."

The two men quietly approached the room where their respective targets were. Fu Qingzhou leaned close to the window and mobilized his five senses to sense the situation of the people in the room.

With this feeling, a strange meaning came to my mind.

He did this purely out of caution - although the other party was not a cultivator, since there was a Buddhist illusion array in this courtyard, there was no guarantee that there might not be other things.

But when he sensed it, he found that what he could sense by the window was exactly the same as what he had sensed from several feet away just now?
"How is this going?"

Fu Qingzhou frowned: "Old man, are there formations in these rooms as well?"

The jade token trembled slightly, but there was no response.

Fu Qingzhou was shocked.

He suddenly felt a sense of warning and looked fiercely in the direction of Qiu Chan.

Qiu Chan pushed the door open a crack, then nimbly entered the room where Wen Qingru was... The next moment, the lights in the room went out and the door closed again!
Fu Qingzhou's pupils shrank.

At the same time, a calm and peaceful voice sounded in his ears.

"Master Fu, since you are here, why don't you come in?"

The moment the sound rang out, the window next to him suddenly exploded, and an arm shining with golden light stretched out violently and grabbed his throat!

The moment Fu Qingzhou saw Qiu Chan disappear, his alertness reached the extreme. When the voice rang in his ears, he retreated with all his strength based on instinct without any thought!

Thanks to this, the hand that came at him so fast failed to grab him, but its fingertips just brushed against the skin on his neck.

In the blink of an eye, Fu Qingzhou retreated several feet away, leaving a few faint blood marks on his neck.

He slowly drew out the Cloud-Splitting Sword and narrowed his eyes.

The hand by the window did not retract, but gently grabbed the edge of the broken window frame and pushed it out.

With just this push, the brick wall was pushed open like a curtain, and the bricks were wrinkled together. The originally intact window wall was easily pushed open to form a "door".

Standing behind the "door" was a handsome young monk with lowered eyebrows and a smile on his lips.

Fu Qingzhou's pupils shrank: "Hui Xin!"

"It's the little monk."

Hui Xin smiled slightly and clasped her hands together: "Donor Fu, long time no see."

This was a powerful person in the Cave Heaven Realm. Fu Qingzhou didn't even have the intention to fight against him. He just looked towards the house where Qiu Chan had just disappeared.

The room was still dark and there was no movement.

He no longer hesitated, and without even looking at Huixin, he flashed and ran towards the south wing where Qiu Chan was!
But no matter how fast he is, he can never be faster than Huixin.

Fu Qingzhou had just dodged a few feet away when a despairing sense of oppression rose from behind him. Huixin's hand, which was shining with golden light, pressed on his shoulder.

Fu Qingzhou gritted his teeth and subconsciously drew out the Wave-Cutting Knife from his waist. On this Wave-Cutting Knife, there was still the mark left by Jiang Baichuan.

The mark was enough to protect him in times of crisis. He had used it once when facing Huo Yaer, cooperating with Jiang Baichuan to deliver an extremely powerful sword. Now he still had two chances.

Now facing Huixin, he decided to use it again!
But... just as Fu Qingzhou's hand grasped the handle of the Gelang Knife, a bolt of lightning suddenly flashed through his mind.

Huixin, you shouldn’t be here.

In the past few days, Si Yu approached Wen Qingru many times and entered this courtyard. Under Wen Qingru's guidance, he drank tea and chatted in the courtyard, and even went to the warehouse to see rouge and powder, but did not see Huixin.

In that situation, even if Si Yu was a naive "spy", she would not show any hostility... Even if Wen Qingru suspected her, the courtyard was blessed by the illusion, and Si Yu was just an ordinary fifth-level warrior, so Hui Xin would not come in person.

In addition, their action tonight was a completely temporary decision... It can be said that no one except Fu Qingzhou and the female disciples of Ziqi Xianfeng Temple would know about the whole thing.

Therefore, there was no way the news would leak to Huixin.

On the contrary, as soon as Huixin appeared, the first thing she said was "Donor Fu", as if she had been waiting for him for a long time.

More importantly, although it didn't take long for Qiu Chanluo and I to enter the courtyard and break the illusion, it was not short either. If Hui Xin really wanted to take action, that would be the best time. Why wait until now?

Since Huixin shouldn't be here...

Then there is only one answer.

The illusion has not yet been broken.

The wisdom in front of you is fake.

All the inferences and thoughts flashed through his mind.

The action of drawing the sword and the thought of counterattacking were all suppressed by Fu Qingzhou in an instant.

He stopped, turned around, stared with wide eyes at Huixin who was reaching out to him, without moving.

The oppressive feeling of mountains and seas, the fear of unknown life and death...

Fu Qingzhou forced himself to overcome these emotions and let Huixin's hand fall.

As soon as the golden hand touched him, it dissipated like smoke...and along with it, the smiling Huixin also dissipated.

"call……"

Fu Qingzhou breathed a sigh of relief.

Bet right.

This was also his subconscious projection... Although he had suspected Zi Fei, when he knew that there was a Buddhist illusion array in the courtyard, he was certain that Wen Qingru was related to Jinchan Temple. Therefore, he subconsciously felt that she was related to Hui Xin.

Therefore, he was always worried that Huixin would discover that he had broken into the courtyard.

That's why the illusion array evolved into Hui Xin... If Fu Qingzhou really resisted at this time, it would be hard to say what he was fighting against. Perhaps in the end he would be killed by his own sword!
Just when he calmed down a little, the voice of the smoker suddenly rang in his mind!

"Damn it, you finally broke out? Hurry up, that little girl Qiuchan can't take it anymore!"

"I'm going to prevent the formation from contacting the outside world, so go help your little lover!"

Fu Qingzhou was shocked.

The next moment, he saw Qiu Chan not far away.

She had unknowingly drawn the soft sword from her waist and was waving it violently towards the empty surroundings. She also took out talisman paper from time to time and waved it around at will.

She looked extremely nervous and anxious, as if she was facing a large group of powerful enemies.

The soft sword and the talisman would hurt herself from time to time as she wielded them crazily. There were already many bloodstains on her body. If she continued like this, she would kill herself sooner or later.

"Qiu Chan!"

Fu Qingzhou shouted, "Stop now!"

After saying that, he strode towards Qiu Chan and was about to control her.

But this shout attracted Qiu Chan's attention... She turned her head and looked at him, her eyes full of hatred and murderous intent!
"Give me back my sister's life!"

She gritted her teeth and yelled, swung the soft sword in her hand, and bit towards Fu Qingzhou's throat like a poisonous snake!
