"Something's wrong, run!" Ouyang Zixin originally intended to carefully retreat with Nameless, worried that Yun Tianmo might suddenly wake up and find them watching, leading to trouble for them. However, she noticed that Yun Tianmo not only showed no signs of waking but instead raised both hands in a posture ready to attack.
Nameless was also startled; this wasn't right. How could such a small illusion affect Cloud Young Master for so long? Although he was puzzled, he didn't dare to hesitate and quickly followed Ouyang Zixin as they flew backward.
Their speed was quite fast, but it couldn't match Yun Tianmo's even greater speed. Just as he raised his hands, two streams of black Mysterious Energy had already formed and shot toward them with a whoosh. The accuracy was as if he had aimed countless times, but both Ouyang Zixin and Nameless knew that was impossible since Yun Tianmo should still be trapped in the illusion. How could he possibly aim at them?
Unless—
"He sees us as enemies?!" Ouyang Zixin cursed her luck inwardly, wishing she hadn't decided to watch.
"Master, I will take you through space." Nameless became serious; this was no joke. If allies started fighting each other, even minor injuries would be trivial compared to the potential chaos that could ensue. He didn't understand the complexities of relationships, but seeing how Cloud Young Master treated his master made him believe that Yun Tianmo cared for her. Therefore, he certainly didn't want his master to get hurt by him.
Ouyang Zixin nodded, indicating she was ready. She had witnessed Yun Tianmo's attack speed before. Even if she exerted all her strength, it would be difficult to evade, so having Nameless's spatial traversal at this moment was incredibly helpful. To protect herself from injury during the transition, Ouyang Zixin surrounded her body with a layer of Mysterious Energy, creating a simple protective shield.
Just as Yun Tianmo's two streams of Mysterious Energy approached, Nameless swiftly took Ouyang Zixin and vanished from their original spot. The overwhelming Black Qi slammed into the ground, creating two deep craters. When Ouyang Zixin reappeared, she found herself several yards away and gasped in shock. If those craters had landed on her, even doubling her height wouldn't have been enough to withstand the impact.
"What do we do now?" The open space within the Underground Palace was limited. Although there were some obstacles for them to hide behind, she wondered what treasures might still be hidden among the stone statues and platforms. It would be a pity to destroy them just like that. Ouyang Zixin began to feel conflicted, her small face scrunching up like a stale bun.
Thud.
"Master, listen," Nameless spoke while keeping an eye on Yun Tianmo's movements. If he attacked again in their direction, he needed to react immediately.
Ouyang Zixin turned her head and looked again; it was the same place where the sound of a thud had come from earlier, prompting her and Nameless to investigate. This was when Yun Tianmo inexplicably fell into the illusion. At this moment, another sound echoed—could it be some kind of mystery?
Ouyang Zixin confirmed that the sound was merely an echo. There was no change for now, so she hurriedly glanced at Yun Tianmo, hoping he could break free from the illusion. Unfortunately, it was clear that Yun Tianmo did not hear her silent plea; he continued to wander around in the illusion, seemingly unaware of what he was seeing.
Whoosh—
This time, the cold wind was even chillier, sweeping across the ground and causing Yun Tianmo's clothing to flutter. He looked down and saw the ominous wind again. Earlier, he had spotted something resembling a vortex, which prompted him to attack without hesitation. However, he hit nothing and instead attracted an even colder gust of wind.
It was because the wind had come so suddenly that he lost sight of Ouyang Zixin and fell into the illusion. Now that he knew it was an illusion, he still couldn't find the Illusionary Eye, which left Yun Tianmo feeling somewhat disheartened.
Thud—
Hmm?
This time, Yun Tianmo heard a sound other than the wind. Based on his hearing and sight, it seemed to come from the Southwest of the Underground Palace. Recalling his earlier aerial view, the Southwest should have been a Water Pavilion scene, albeit made entirely of stone, as the water had long since dried up. So how did this sound resembling water droplets falling into a Deep Pool come about?
"Look, he's turned around," Ouyang Zixin said excitedly, noticing that Yun Tianmo was looking in the direction from which the sound had come. Did this mean he was about to break free from the illusion? Did it imply that he wouldn't attack randomly anymore?
Nameless wasn't as optimistic as Ouyang Zixin. They had only paid attention to that direction because they heard a sound, but Yun Tianmo was trapped in an illusion; logically speaking, he shouldn't be able to hear any external sounds. Otherwise, if someone shouted a few words, wouldn't those caught in an illusion immediately realize their situation?
Before Nameless could voice his thoughts, he saw Yun Tianmo actually walking toward the Southwest. Could it be true what Ouyang Zixin suggested? Could he really hear something and turned back to look?
"Let's go check it out too," Ouyang Zixin said with renewed courage, no longer afraid that Yun Tianmo would attack her again as she moved closer to see what was happening.
After hearing the sound, Yun Tianmo decided to take a look. Since he could hear it even in the illusion, perhaps it would lead to a breakthrough. As he walked, he pondered why such an obvious illusion was so difficult to break through. It seemed that there was no presence of the Illusionary Eye at all, so what could the opportunity be?
Was it the ominous wind? Or perhaps...
Ouyang Zixin.
The image of the incredibly enchanting Ouyang Zixin was still etched in his mind. If it weren't for her fierce expression while devouring souls, he might have appreciated that side of her. Compared to the usual Ouyang Zixin, they truly had their own merits.
"Tsk tsk, look at him, he's actually smiling so wickedly," Ouyang Zixin remarked beside Yun Tianmo, unable to help but tease Nameless about his expression.
Wicked? Nameless thought to himself as he glanced over. Was this really wicked? That smile clearly resembled... how should he describe it? The smile of a hunter who was certain of capturing its prey? Yes, that was it.
Seeing that Nameless didn't respond, Ouyang Zixin found it boring and decided to wait and see what Yun Tianmo would do next.
Yun Tianmo walked straight ahead, nearing the edge of the dry Deep Pool without any intention of stopping. Ouyang Zixin watched anxiously, fearing that he might not see it within the illusion and think it was solid ground. If he fell without any precautions, he would either die or end up severely injured.
"Hey, don't go any further," Ouyang Zixin quickly stepped in front of Yun Tianmo and the Deep Pool, trying to stop him. However, she could only watch helplessly as Yun Tianmo passed right through her body and continued toward the Deep Pool... (To be continued.)
