On this side, Zhou Yuyan met Yu Wan. On the other side, Mu Ting, who had disappeared with Zhou Yuyan, met Shadow Thirteen.
The unconscious Little Junior Brother Zhou Jin was tied to Shadow Thirteenâs back. The moment he saw Zhou Jin, Mu Tingâs expression finally relaxed. However, he was not in a hurry to acknowledge the two of them. Instead, he said warilv. âSt0D.â
âWhat?â Shadow Thirteen asked indifferently.
Mu Ting reached out. âGive me your hand.â
Shadow Thirteen looked at him strangely and handed him his wrist. Mu Ting placed his fingertip on Shadow Thirteenâs pulse.
âYou know how to take a pulse? Iâm not sick.â Shadow Thirteen retracted his hand coldly.
âI just want to confirm if youâre really Shadow Thirteen or if itâs an illusion created by this fog.â After Mu Ting finished speaking, he saw that Shadow Thirteen did not show much surprise and laughed self-deprecatingly. âIt seems that you can also tell that somethingâs wrong here.â
Shadow Thirteen said indifferently, âWhy? Only you sorcerers can tell that this is an illusion. Canât us sacrificial soldiers tell?â
âThatâs not what I meant.â Mu Ting denied it, but he could not help but be surprised by Shadow Thirteen. Sacrificial soldiers walked the pugilistic world with martial arts, but martial arts were almost not worth mentioning in the face of such a powerful illusion. Therefore, he did not expect Shadow Thirteen to understand the profundity.
This also made Mu Ting even more certain that they were not simple.
Shadow Thirteen did not have the time to argue with Mu Ting. He carefully sized up the surrounding environment. Even if it was foggy, as long as he walked in a certain direction, he would definitely be able to reach the end.
Mu Ting followed Shadow Thirteen and looked at his little junior brother on Shadow Thirteenâs back. âWhy donât you give him to me? You focus on scouting the way.â
âThereâs no need. Take care of yourself,â Shadow Thirteen said expressionlessly.
Mu Ting had hit a nail and his expression was a little ugly. At this moment, the fog dissipated. A forest suddenly appeared in front of them, and a group of ferocious beasts rushed towards them.
Mu Ting frowned and said seriously, âDonât be afraid, itâs an illusion!â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Shadow Thirteen pulled out his sword and cut off the poisonous snake that had fallen from his head. Blood splashed all over Mu Tingâs face.
Mu Ting was stunned.
Shadow Thirteen mocked, âIs this also an illusion?â
Mu Ting touched the snake blood on his face and widened his eyes in disbelief. The illusion here could actually change with the danger in the forest? He was a Black-grade Sorcerer, but his eyesight was actually inferior to a sacrificial soldier.
Shadow Thirteen was a half-sacrificial soldier who had crawled out of a pile of corpses. Although he didnât know any illusions, he had an instinctive sense of danger. When the group of ferocious beasts rushed towards him, he closed his eyes and his surroundings fell silent. Only the rustling sound of crawling came from above his head, making him shiver.
Shadow Thirteen put away his sword. âThis snake is real, and this forest is very likely real. Letâs walk over first.â
Mu Ting clenched his fists and followed with a complicated expression.
Not long after Yu Wan and Zhou Yuyan left the âsmall tea shedâ, they also entered a forest. Zhou Yuyan looked at the towering tree above her head and tugged at Yu Wanâs sleeve. âDo you think⦠these are illusions?â
âCanât you tell?â Yu Wan pushed aside a flower bush in front of her.
Zhou Yuyan followed quickly, one hand tugging at Yu Wanâs sleeve. âIâm not a sorcerer. How can I tell?â
Yu Wan smiled and said, âYour father taught such a powerful disciple. Youâre the daughter of the sect master, but you didnât inherit any of his abilities. How sad.
âI donât want to be a sorcerer!â Zhou Yuyan snorted.
âOh?â Yu Wan replied casually.
Zhou Yuyan sighed. âI heard from my father that powerful sorcerers can spy on the Heavenly Dao, but they often donât have a good ending. Have you never heard of the five harms and three flaws?â
Yu Wan was focused on finding her way and ignored her. When Zhou Yuyan saw that she did not refute, she thought that she had heard her. She counted with her fingers and explained to Yu Wan in detail, ââWifeless, Widow,
Orphaned, Lonely, and Handicappedâ. These are five harms. The three flaws are âmoney, life, and powerâ. The Heavenly Dao has its own rules. If you spy on the Heavenly Dao and leak the heavenly secrets, you will suffer the wrath of the heavens!â
Yu Wan nodded. âThen has anyone from your sect been punished by the heavens?â
âHow can those little sorcerers do that?â Zhou Yuyan curled her lips and looked at the forest. âAlthough the illusion just now was very powerful, itâs not a sorcery that can suffer the wrath of the heavens. Of course, itâs different if weâre killed.â
âHow is it different?â Yu Wan asked..
