Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

A chilling, eerie sound came from the darkness.

"Damn it...that bastard!!"

After the raging fire engulfed the entire bamboo forest, it began to spread to the surrounding buildings...

The fire serpent seemed to have a life of its own, constantly exploring and igniting flames, as if searching for Gui Naifen and Huo Huo's whereabouts.

"Damn it, stop burning it!! Stop burning it!!"

A sharp, strange sound reached Yan Huan's ears.

But he remained deaf to their pleas and continued walking forward on his own.

Wherever he went, everything around him turned into a sea of ​​fire.

"Are you deaf?!"

"Stop...stop it!!"

As the sounds around her grew clearer, Yan Huan stopped in front of a courtyard.

The courtyard gate was wide open and looked somewhat dilapidated. Flames climbed onto the broken walls, making the strange noises even more ferocious.

"Aaaaaahh ...

"Come on in if you dare! Let's have a proper fight! Come on! Come on, if you dare!!"

"..."

Yan Huan's gaze was deep as she looked around in the firelight. Finally, her eyes fell on the huge bronze mirror, as tall as a person, in the distance.

Immediately, he bent down and picked up a pebble.

He threw it suddenly.

"--Bang!!"

The bronze mirror is broken.

Chapter 458 She chickened out

A spatial distortion occurred.

Yan Huan found herself seemingly transported to another world.

"So this really is the entrance..."

The surrounding firelight had disappeared, and the courtyard had changed drastically.

If the courtyard where Yan Huan was originally located was just a small thatched hut, then he is now in a town.

As for how he knew how big it was...

"Damn it, how could you climb the wall! Nobody here ever does that!!"

Ignoring the eerie voice's angry rebuke, Yan Huan had already climbed to the corner of the wall and looked around.

Here, walls connect everything, and each area is connected by archways, some closed and some open.

If a normal person were to be trapped in this space, their cognitive abilities would be significantly impaired, just like they are now.

For most people standing here, it's like being in a dream; they often lack wisdom, for example... thinking about climbing the wall.

"It seems they've gotten lost in this maze."

Even though Yan Huan is standing on the wall now, her view isn't much better, as a thick fog obscures a large portion of her vision.

As he pondered, the chilling voice became clear again.

"Hahahaha……"

"But you still came in."

Clusters of green will-o'-the-wisps appeared beside Yan Huan.

“I heard the leaves whispering in Suiyuan Garden, the water weeping; they told me that a powerful body was approaching…”

"They say that person carries the aura of someone who fought Huanlong!"

"Hehe, as expected, you are the one who... drove away Huanlong!"

Now that they've entered this world, the mysterious voice has changed from a hazy one to a somewhat lewd-sounding female voice.

It has a kind of feel to it, like an old witch from a fairy tale who does bad things.

"Why aren't you running yet?" Yan stared silently ahead of him, not even glancing at the will-o'-the-wisp beside him.

"run……?"

"Hey hey hey hey!"

The will-o'-the-wisp seemed to have heard something funny, and it began to slowly rotate around Yan Huan's body, as if it were dancing.

"Indeed... this body... it really is! Just feeling your presence makes me tremble with pleasure!"

"But your soul, your consciousness, is not as strong as this physical body..."

"How about I try you? Just one bite, just a tiny bite, I can't wait to taste you!"

Hearing the buzzing sound in her ears, Yan Huan couldn't help but laugh:

"So, you can't willingly crawl into my body, right?"

"Just like now, you couldn't actively pull me into this world; I came in on my own."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Suiyang suddenly fell silent.

The lush green flames also paused.

"You...you actually discovered this? That shouldn't be the case. Why haven't you shown any signs of mental decline?"

"Logically, everyone who enters here should be as vulnerable as if they were in a dream..."

"So, do you have something to say?" Yan Huan asked impatiently.

"I was looking for them. They're here, aren't they? Did you bring them in?"

Faced with his question, the green flame sighed:

"Hehe... You really do know them. That's right, I'm the one who brought them here."

"But I didn't have any strange ideas. I just thought that there's strength in numbers, so I tried to bring people in, find the exit of this illusion, and let me out as well."

"I am very weak now and have very limited influence. I fled to this illusion of 'Flame of Anger' in order to escape the pursuit of the judges of the Ten Kings."

"Hehe, now that you're in, you won't be able to find the others without my help!"

"To find your two friends, I'll have to..."

"That's not necessary."

boom--! !

The entire wall shattered under the heavy blow of Yan Huan's large iron hammer.

Will-o'-the-wisp stared blankly at the scene, somewhat dazed.

Hastily said:

"No, you...you want to destroy this place?!"

"if not."

Without saying a word, Yan picked up the sledgehammer and continued trying to smash the wall.

He had just stood on the wall and roughly estimated the area of ​​this space. In fact, it was not very large, not even a quarter of the size of a cave.

It is precisely because of the obstruction of these walls that those trapped here feel a sense of spaciousness.

He prefers simple methods to solving puzzles.

"Can't……!"

"Since your two companions have entered the illusion of wrath, they must be extremely vulnerable mentally!"

The will-o'-the-wisp suddenly revealed its true form, which turned out to be a somewhat comical-looking eyeball:

"I am Fuyan, one of the myriad years of sunshine in this Suiyuan Garden!"

"I'll guide you to your companions. I've been hiding here for a very, very long time, and I know this place like the back of my hand!"

"..."

Yan Huan gave Fu Yan a disdainful look:

"You're afraid I'll destroy this place and then you'll have nowhere to hide, right?"

"What else?!" The wisps of smoke swirled wildly in the air.

"I never expected that you actually have the ability to influence this illusion..."

"I can help you, but you have to help me too!"

"But I don't want to help you."

Yan gave him a look of disgust:

"You look awful, and your voice sounds like some kind of doll with black ribbons wrapped around its face. You're really repulsive..."

"And your appearance is exactly what makes you look like you're going to cause trouble."

"..."

When Yan Huan revealed the truth in one sentence, Fu Yan was completely dumbfounded.

You may have ulterior motives, but can someone really deduce that just from your voice? Is your voice really that deceitful?

"Brother, I'm begging you, please?!"

Fu Yan floated up to Yan Huan and earnestly pleaded:

"You have to believe me. Even if you tear this place down, you might not actually be able to escape. And even if you do manage to get out, your companions might not be able to!"
