"ah!"
Ye Lingyu screamed in surprise. The bronze mirror with a corner missing that she held in her arms to wipe suddenly suddenly became dark. There are different colored lines in this black color, just like the changes that occur in metal after being burned at high temperatures - before it melts.
Ling Huan didn't notice anything with his right hand, but his left hand felt a faint warmth. But instead of melting, it cracked. Ling Huan almost let go, but was afraid of breaking it. She had no choice but to throw it gently on the table in front of her, and the wood and metal made a clanging sound. At the same time, she heard Xie Zhe's exclamation outside the house.
Ling Huan hurriedly ran out, Wenying and Han Zhang were here, and they looked up at the sky with Xie Zhe. The color of the sky made Ling Hu feel dizzy. Isn't this the same color that appeared on the mirror just now? She took a few steps back in fear. Seeing her coming, Han Chang immediately asked her:
"Where's the mirror?!"
"In, in the house!"
Han Chang rushed back, followed closely by Wenying. When Han Chang saw what was on the table, his heart dropped. This thing can no longer be called a mirror, but can only be called a copper sheet. It no longer reflects light, and strange colors cling to it. Moreover, there are many unnatural cracks on it, which are still spreading and becoming more and more dense. Han Chang stretched out his hand and tried to supply his spiritual power to the mirror. But the crack continued to expand, and Wenying also helped. The two auras of red and blue were intertwined with each other, and Ling Yu couldn't tell whether this action was effective. The increase in cracks appears to have slowed, but that could also be an illusion.
"Look at the sky outside the house!" Han Chang said.
Ling Huan ran out quickly. She saw that there was almost no change in the sky, or in other words, no good changes. The cracks are still spreading, and are more obvious on the larger "curtain", especially quickly. Xie Zhe drew out the Wind and Cloud Slash and said to Ling Huan who came over:
"It's beyond repair. Let them give up...and then fight."
When Xie Zhe said these words himself, Ling Huan's heart sank. She knew what this meant, that the day had finally come. Several people were not unprepared for this. Lian Xiao also clearly told them that he might not be able to escape. But when he said this, he was so relaxed, and he didn't think it was a life and death matter at all. It was as if he deliberately made them think that Yun Waijing's disappearance from the world was no big deal. At that time, Wenying blamed him for being too pessimistic and speaking harshly. They knew that Xiao had been with her for a long time, but she was actually so scared and reluctant to let go.
But Ling Huan also remembered how indifferent Uoyuki-kun was who was listening at that time, as if Akatsuki's death really didn't matter.
She was scared.
She should do something, but all she could do was follow the orders of her friends. When she told Han Shan the news, the other party was not too surprised and quickly gave up on trying to remedy the situation. Only Wenying was unwilling to do so. She stared at the mirror and tried in vain to transfer her spiritual power. This was unnecessary consumption, but Han Chang did not stop it.
"Utsuki-kun and Takimiao are walking nearby, but they will definitely pay attention to this place and will definitely come back."
"They shouldn't come back." Xie Zhe frowned and looked around warily. "Let them escape, and we will break it off. At least it can be delayed for a while. But they... want to really solve the problem."
"Because that is the mission of the Six Paths of Impermanence..."
What a cruel mission. No matter how much you sigh, nothing will change.
"The barrier will gradually disintegrate and collapse. This is a slow process, and the illusion will be connected to the real world unknowingly." Xie Zhe said, "Kong Lingbei has been gone for a few days, and we cannot fully rely on him to come back today. ...Let Wenying take Ling Huan to find Lord Uoyue and the others, and join them. We stay here to stop the evil spirits...We must let Wenying leave."
Of course Han Chang knew his intention. There was no time for her to "see things and think about people". The top priority was to deal with the problem according to the previous plan. In fact, this change happened suddenly and was more violent than the worst possibility they imagined - of course, the Yunwai Mirror was completely destroyed. It’s not that I was unprepared, but when this actually happened, it felt unreal.
Of course, Wenying felt a lot of reluctance to give up - but she still knew her responsibility. She gave up staying in the hut, and pulled Ling Yu away under Han Shang's persuasion. Her pace was so fast that Ling Huan could hardly catch up. There was a disgusting smell around, which greatly affected Wenying's judgment of Uzuki-kun's location. The smell was like rusty metal, but it wasn't just the smell of rust, it had a complex, stomach-churning component. But if this smell completely dissipates, the present world may be directly adjacent to this place.
"Where is it!" she whined, "Where is it?!"
Ling Huan was a little worried. Wenying looked a little irrational, but she was still trying her best to restrain herself. Of course she knew why, and she didn't feel any better than Wenying. She still had some illusions about Akatsuki's survival. After all, as a human, she had never seen a real "corpse". However, she was more worried about whether her concern was... not pure.
Xiao promised her that he would try to help her find the whereabouts of her sister. When his body and mirror were both here, he failed to find Yin Quan's will. When she first said this, Ling Huan was so scared that she almost fainted, but Xiao quickly told her that this did not mean that her sister was no longer alive. If she died, he would be aware of it - but since one day, she suddenly disappeared. Yes, there is no "death" that actually happens. In other words, her identity is "hidden".
"Achieving this... is actually not difficult. She is probably hiding in my 'blind spot'."
At that time, Akatsuki pointed to the side of her masked eye and said.
"Then is she in danger?!"
"She may have been protected." Xiao looked apologetic, "I can't stare at someone all the time, so I probably missed something. I'm sorry."
"No, it doesn't matter," Ling Huan pretended to be fine at that time, "When Lord Maoyue recovers and Master Lintian finds a way to break the curse, I can, I can..."
How long will it take? No one said that. However, Master Lintian promised that they would not need to stay here for too long. Anyway, at least there is some news about Yin Hu, right? Xiao said that the last time he noticed her was in the south. Although it was very general, Ling Hu still grasped this clue tightly.
If Xiao disappears, or at least loses the function of "knowing", the whereabouts of Yin Quan...
Don't even think about it. She told herself - don't think about it. For Wenying, she is also facing the pain of losing her best friend for many years, and she should not compare it with other things. They were both equal in pain, and they both had the right to grieve, but now was not the time. Ling Yu struggled to follow Wenying's footsteps, running under the dark and distorted night sky.
"What a...such a familiar face."
When he said this, Han Chang probably meant it with a bit of ridicule. Fei stood opposite them, showing a somewhat evil smile. Next to her is Yin Guihong. He didn't have much expression, but his appearance said a lot.
"His purpose is indeed——" As he said that, Han Shang's eyes moved towards his knife. "Jin Mieya...has the aura of Akatsuki."
Revenge must be avenged.
"Where is he?" Xie Zhe asked.
"On the edge of a nearby town. But that's a pointless question."
"The collusion of evil spirits, I really don't know whether to say it is unexpected or it is reasonable."
"Maybe both. But please don't classify us into the same type of people - we just happen to have similar goals."
"She must be looking at Chi Zhenzhu." Xie Zhe said to Han Zhang.
"I know. She must not be allowed to get close to Lord Maoyue, let alone..." Han Zhang frowned, "They also have the aura of the third evil angel on their bodies - Tao Zhu. If she is not here, she must have separated from the two of them. Let’s go find Mr. Uoyue.”
Wenying and Lingyu may be in danger. Thinking of this, Xie Zhe couldn't help but tighten his grip on the sword.
"Hey, it sounds like you are not going to let me go." Li suddenly slapped Yin Guihong on the back, "Can I ask this little brother to fight for me? I really have something urgent to call Qinghe. Broken Flower, please be generous."
Yin Guihong glared at her. He said calmly: "If this group of people won't let you go, I can go find Lord Uoyue for you. I also need to see the real effectiveness of this magic circle that absorbs spiritual power."
"You won't keep it for yourself, right?" Fei said, pinching his throat.
"If you don't believe me, go alone." Yin Guihong pointed the knife at Xie Che, "As long as you have the ability to get rid of them or defeat them."
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh”
Pi shouted in disgust. As soon as she raised her hand, the straw man's shikigami emerged like a tide. It was just a matter of a moment that Xie Zhe and Han Zhang exchanged glances. Next, their reactions matched the enemy's actions in a tacit understanding - Xie Zhe's sword connected with Yin Guihong's sword accurately, and the sound of the collision was so harsh that it made one's hair stand on end. While Han Chang drew his sword, he cut off the two straw men who were the first to attack. Sure enough, Yin Guihong's next move was to move towards the place where Wenying and Ling Hu left. He didn't bother too much and walked over quickly. Xie Zhe followed closely, trying to delay him.
"Hey, are you a fox demon?" Qi stared at him, "Why do monsters want to be on the same side as humans? I've wanted to ask for a long time."
"Don't change the subject. I'd also like to ask if you were once human, right?"
"Then we are considered the same kind of people. Could you please be kind and give way? Do you have to live and die? Ah, I also know that I, who have only met you a few times, may not have much weight compared to those who have been with you day and night. . But think about it, we monsters have a very long lifespan. We still have many... opportunities to get to know each other, don't we? Compared to mere humans?"
"You forget your roots," the spiritual power was concentrated on Han Shan's fingertips, "No. Because you will die here."
A ball of hot spiritual power hit in front of Li, and she jumped back, dodging the attack with some difficulty. But she had a tough mouth after all. After the gravel splashed, she mocked in an arrogant tone:
"Where are you going to hit?"
"Right here."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li found that the straw men on both sides of him had collapsed softly. Their interiors were burned by high temperatures, and dots of red fire appeared. Although there was no open flame, she was already aware of what had happened - the splashing gravel was embedded in her shikigami, and was burned from the inside by the residual high temperature. Han Zhang used Fox Fire to control the release of "fire".
"...You have to force me to take action, right?"
Qi clenched his fists, but made no move. But Han Chang's ears were keenly aware that something was approaching from a distance. No, it's a group of... The boundary of the barrier is very thin, they slowly cross over, and then slowly approach.
He could clearly see the outline of the group of "things" - were they people?
wrong.
Is it...a puppet?
