Clearly, they were very close to their goal, almost within reach with just a few strides. However, both Ye Feng and Lan Yuanfeng suddenly stopped moving forward, their eyes filled with a scene that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, leaving them bewildered.
Even more astonishing was that the visions they saw were different. Lan Yuanfeng saw his own kin, the people from Blue Stream Villa, who inexplicably seemed to come back to life and approached him with beaming smiles.
This scene, if it had even the slightest tremor or haze, could be defined as a dream—unreal! Yet those approaching him, their clothing and expressions, especially the brightness in their eyes and the warmth of their breath, were so vividly real that they could not be replicated.
Lan Yuanfeng felt a lump in his throat, a choking sensation! Just moments ago he had seen them all dead, and now they appeared before him as if alive again. It was beyond mere excitement; it was an overwhelming joy!
His personal aspiration for strength had not yet reached the point of absolute coldness. These relatives were precisely the ones he still cared about in this world. He saw the butler and his daughter, whom he regarded as his own daughter, Tiantian.
Tiantian's smile was still as sweet as ever, her steps light and graceful as she approached. Lan Yuanfeng knew this was a dream, but he did not want to wake up. He thought that perhaps before he obtained ancient treasures and became a true unparalleled powerhouse, he could indulge in this dream for a while longer.
So he smiled and embraced each of his relatives one by one, feeling their real warmth and the essence of their breaths, an infinite sense of joy swelling within him!
At that moment, Ye Feng was experiencing an equally unimaginable scene. What he saw was not the people from Blue Stream Villa but rather some individuals he deeply cared about.
In the Northern Jin Kingdom, known as the Cursed Land on the Eastern Continent, where he had lived for over ten years before fleeing due to the impending disaster caused by the Demon Realm Shura King breaking free from its seal in three years. He had left his family behind, but many people who could not leave with him still remained there.
These were individuals he held deep regrets for in his heart. At this moment, they appeared before him: Zhao Wan'er, the princess of Northern Jin Kingdom and the elder sister of his puppet brother. To eliminate her uncle Prince Ning, she had resorted to using her beauty to forge connections with potential heirs from various families.
Ye Feng's cousin had once been Zhao Wan'er's suitor but was quickly eliminated by Ye Feng himself. Ultimately, this seemingly frivolous woman with a heart as strong and pure as a lotus fell in love with him! She still had so much left unsaid to Ye Feng before they parted ways.
Ye Feng also had countless feelings he wanted to share with her. He knew it was impossible to see Zhao Wan'er here; this woman approaching him was also an illusion. Yet for some reason, he did not want to wake up so soon when Zhao Wan'er leaped into his arms!
Soft and fragrant in his embrace, Wan'er was still as delicate as ever and stunningly beautiful. This completely disarmed Ye Feng's defenses. He gazed tenderly at the beauty in his arms, gently stroking her hair and bringing it close to his nose—every action radiated tenderness!
Zhao Wan'er smiled sweetly like a blooming flower and said, "You scoundrel! You heartlessly abandoned me; now you realize you need me?"
Ye Feng's face flushed as he hurriedly explained, "Didn't I say? I'm busy with the family relocation. I told you to take care of yourself, and I will definitely come to find you!"
Zhao Wan'er, hearing this explanation, was unconvinced. After a moment of hesitation, she revealed a charming yet embarrassed expression and said, "I don't believe you! You're just interested in other girls and don't want me anymore! If you have the ability, push me away right now! Go on!"
The real sensation of their bodies brushing against each other even caused Ye Feng to have a physiological reaction! Deep down, he felt that this must be a dream, and he wanted to escape from this dream quickly. However, in reality, he found himself unable to muster the strength to push this woman away!
He missed Zhao Wan'er so much; he didn't want to push her away just because he had finally seen her! That would be too heartless, wouldn't it? Besides, this was merely a dream. Once he woke up, she would naturally disappear. So why should he be so cruel in the dream?
"Fool, I will never push you away again. I won't let you leave me!" Ye Feng held her tightly, inhaling her incredibly fragrant scent, not wanting to let go for even a moment!
Zhao Wan'er was pounding on his back with all her might while repeatedly saying, "I don't want this! Let go of me! Let go of me! You need to let go of me!"
But her little fists were too weak; hitting Ye Feng's back felt like tickling him. The words she spoke sounded more like a playful complaint! Hearing this made Ye Feng's heart swell with tenderness; how could he possibly let her go? He softly replied, "Don't make trouble. I promise you, I will never let you suffer!"
"Really? Don't lie to me; you've already lied to me once..." Zhao Wan'er's punches suddenly stopped and turned into affectionate teasing as she drew cute circles on Ye Feng's back. Yet her words were filled with unshed tears!
Ye Feng felt a pang of heartache. He truly believed that not bringing Zhao Wan'er along when relocating the family was a grave mistake. However, it seemed that there was still time for regret; the beauty was right in front of him, and he still had a chance.
"Fool, I really won't lie to you this time!"
Zhao Wan'er seemed unsatisfied with just that and insisted that he swear an oath! With no other choice, Ye Feng reluctantly vowed, "If I ever abandon Zhao Wan'er again, may I die a terrible death!"
With those words, Zhao Wan'er stopped her antics. However, Ye Feng felt a chill on his back as he sensed the warmth in his embrace slowly fading away, accompanied by a sharp pain surging through his body!
Yet having just sworn not to let Zhao Wan'er go, he endured the pain and asked, "Wan'er, what are you doing?" He began to feel an inexplicable fear—he didn't know exactly what he was afraid of. Was it the fear of the dream disappearing?
Fortunately, Zhao Wan'er's beautiful voice was still there as she cheerfully replied, "I'm making sure we stay together forever!"
Ye Feng felt a moment of relaxation, but still sensed something was off. He intended to turn Zhao Wan'er's face, which was pressed against his shoulder, to take a look, but found that the beauty was holding onto him tightly. He couldn't muster the strength to pry her off, and the pain in his back was growing more intense! He couldn't help but furrow his brow and asked again:
"Wan'er, what exactly are you doing behind me?" His tone was somewhat impatient.
This time, he heard a chilling voice: "I told you! We will be together forever!" The echo was piercing! Ye Feng fully awakened, realizing that this was not Zhao Wan's voice and feeling a sticky dampness behind him! He immediately exerted force and pushed Zhao Wan'er away!
Before he could even assess the situation behind him, he was startled by the pale face of the 'Zhao Wan'er' in front of him! This was no beauty at all; it was a skeleton! Terrifyingly, this skeleton was still muttering, "If you don't stay with me, you will die a terrible death!"
"You must keep your promise! Stay with me forever!" The grinding sound of the skeleton's teeth was so unpleasant it sent chills down his spine! Ye Feng fought to suppress his panic and took several steps back before finally mustering the courage to look behind him—he gasped in horror!
A large wound had opened on his back! In the deeper parts of the wound, he could faintly see bone! The sticky dampness was indeed his own flesh being sliced open by sharp bone blades! Ye Feng was furious! Now he understood why there were danger markers on the map in his mind!
He also realized that the maze was merely an appetizer compared to this dreamlike killing nightmare, which was the real deal! He glanced at Lan Yuanfeng and found that the situation for him was even more terrifying! He was surrounded by a group of skeletons, almost completely obscured from view!
All that could be seen was a pool of blood on the ground! Feeling a surge of panic, Ye Feng shouted desperately, "Stop dreaming! Wake up! They are just illusions! They will take your life!"
His shout echoed powerfully throughout the area, and the echo seemed endless. Fortunately, Lan Yuanfeng appeared not to have been devoured by those skeletons yet! He suddenly returned to reality and unleashed his Late Stage of the Gale Martial Realm cultivation; those skeletons clinging to him were instantly scattered!
At that moment, Lan Yuanfeng came into full view for Ye Feng, but he had become a bloody mess—there wasn't a single intact piece of skin on him, and he looked like he might collapse at any moment!
Ye Feng cursed under his breath and disregarded his back injury! The Golden Dragon Sword unsheathed! With one strike, he unleashed all his power!
"Light Sword Shadow! Kill them for me!" Countless sword lights crisscrossed through the air! In an instant, they slaughtered a large number of visible skeletons! The disassembled skeletons fell to the ground and were quickly 'swallowed' into the earth! Ye Feng finally understood why he hadn't seen this group of skeletons before!
Lan Yuanfeng also survived the ordeal. Although covered in blood, he fought fiercely! After all, he was still at the Late Stage of the Gale Martial Realm, and with his skills, he quickly joined forces with Ye Chen's sword light to clear out all the monsters in the area!
Finally, after confirming there were no visible dangers, Ye Feng felt a sense of relief and sat down on the ground, still shaken by the earlier dream! Lan Yuanfeng approached, his face smeared with blood, revealing his pale and weakened state.
"I never expected such a terrifying dream to be hidden away!" he said, trembling slightly and feeling a bit angry. It was truly admirable how resilient this guy was!
Ye Feng couldn't help but shake his head as he looked at the dimly glowing area behind them, not daring to approach it just yet. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Let's clean ourselves up first. How are you feeling? Are you okay?"
Only then did Lan Yuanfeng take the time to check his injuries. He discovered that except for his face, his skin was mostly bitten and torn by those Skeletons. Fortunately, these were just superficial wounds; he had lost too much blood and said hoarsely, "If we go through that again, I might not make it. But right now, I'm okay!"
Ye Feng couldn't help but laugh at that remark. However, realizing it wasn't the right time for humor, he noticed Lan Yuanfeng rolling his eyes but saying nothing. Soon after, they began to bandage each other's wounds. Luckily, before coming here, they had prepared for potential injuries and had packed gauze and some simple medicinal alcohol into the Heaven and Earth Four Element Cauldron!
Without worrying about showing off their supplies, they quickly treated their injuries and finally sighed in relief. They exchanged glances towards the glowing spot behind them; for a moment, neither of them wanted to speak!
It felt as if that place was on the other side of the Bridge of Helplessness. At this moment, Lan Yuanfeng resembled a pharaoh, wrapped in bandages from head to toe. To be honest, his injuries were not as severe as Ye Feng's. After a brief moment of hesitation, he gritted his teeth and took a step forward!
Having paid such a price for the potential treasures that might exist there, retreating at the last moment was simply not in Lan Yuanfeng's character!
