Chapter 989 Xiao Yu also entered the dream.
Xiao Yu immediately became alert. He knew the identity of the person as soon as he saw him. He said, "You are from the Earthly Fiend Sect, and you are also colluding with Xiao Shang. Your purpose in following us to Xichuan is to obtain the secret techniques of the Yinchuan Ancient Kingdom."
Si Ci said coldly, "It seems that Lord Xiao has done a lot of research on our identities in private. Since you know about the Earthly Fiend Sect, it means you have a connection with it. Why don't you join us and change the world together?"
Xiao Yu scoffed, "You actually believed Xiao Shang's nonsense, about rebirth techniques and the ancient Yinchuan Kingdom? Now you see, there's nothing here. He lied to all of us and almost killed us. Where is Xiao Shang now? Find him and ask him."
Si Ci hesitated for a moment. They had searched for a long time but found nothing. They had no clue where the entrance to the Ghost Realm that Xiao Shang had mentioned was.
Si Ci held a knife to Xiao Yu's neck and said, "Enough nonsense. We'll find out if it's fake once we find Empress Jiang. You come with us to find her. If we can't find her, I'll kill Minister Xiao to vent my anger."
"I don't know." Xiao Yu believed he wouldn't kill him.
Si Ci was getting anxious. "I don't believe you don't know where the entrance to the Ghost Mirror is. You guys have already discussed it. Don't think we don't know."
"It was Xiao Shang who told you! What were his intentions in tricking us all into coming here? Didn't you ever think about it? He's just a Northern Xiao Kingdom person, and he can fool you with some random words. Aren't you too stupid? Why do you believe what he says so much? Are you just too stupid?" Xiao Yu said calmly.
Si Ci naturally had no idea who else was behind Yan Dinghai.
"You're so eager to find the Ghost Realm because you want the rebirth technique. Do you really believe that such a bizarre thing exists in the world?" Xiao Yu wanted to find a breakthrough from him. It is often those who are not valued who develop an imbalance in their hearts.
Si Ci hesitated for a moment, but then plunged the knife in half a step further. "You don't believe I'll really kill you?"
Qin Yunyan was startled when she saw the newcomers. Their faces were completely covered, only their fierce eyes were visible. Fearing that Xiao Yu might anger them and be killed, she quickly said, "We were all tricked into coming to this eerie place. It really is strange, especially at night. It sounds like ghosts are crying. Listen, can you hear crying? A child's, a woman's, a man's..."
Everyone was terrified by what Qin Yunyan said, but Xiao Yu suddenly looked at her because in his dream, Baili Ayu later married a woman who looked very much like Qin Yunyan, and in the end, all the people in their country died in a natural disaster.
He wondered to himself: Could it be that Qin Yunyan also had the same dream? Was it all not a coincidence, but something that really happened while they were unconscious?
Xiao Yu didn't dare to act rashly after hearing this. He didn't know why he had such a dream. Was it because his feelings for Jiang Fenghua were too deep and his obsession too strong that he wove a dream for them in his dream? But why did Qin Yunyan also appear in his dream?
Judging from Qin Yunyan's reaction when she woke up, she probably didn't have the same dream as him; she was just trying to scare the man in black.
No one dared to linger there. The men in black complained about why they were sent here to their deaths, knowing full well that entering Xichuan meant certain death.
At that moment, they seemed to hear crying as well.
Someone said, "Did you hear that? Someone is really crying."
"It's getting dark. What if they really encounter a ghost at night?"
"Master Si, this place is too eerie, let's escape!"
"..."
Si Ci is also afraid of death. The fact that Sect Master Yan sent them instead of coming in person is clearly a way to send them to their deaths. Why is Sect Master Yan reluctant to let Yan Jue lead the charge? It's because Yan Jue is his adopted son.
The group started discussing amongst themselves, when someone began to feel a suffocating sensation, making it hard to breathe. The men in black panicked, shouting, "Run!"
The next moment, the men in black began to run wildly, but before they could get far, they fell one after another. They clutched their own necks as if under some kind of spell. Some tried to escape, but their legs were out of control, as if they were being held back by some ghost. They became short of breath and died instantly.
Si Ci was so frightened that he knelt down on the spot, "How could this be?"
Just as Si Ci was about to escape, Xiao Yu said in a deep voice, "You can't run around when you enter Xichuan, or you'll end up like them. Try it and see if you'll be the next one to die."
Seeing that Xiao Yu and the woman beside him were unharmed, Si Ci dared not make any rash moves. "This is too strange, this place is too strange."
Xiao Yu no longer felt unwell. He remembered that he felt unwell when he first arrived in Xichuan, as if he had caught a cold due to overwork. However, the two months they had been in Xichuan were during the summer, with the sun shining brightly. How could they have caught a cold?
Qin Yunyan also caught a cold at that time.
He asked Qin Yunyan, "Are you feeling better?"
Qin Yunyan thought he was concerned about her, so she quickly said, "Okay... I'm still a little dizzy, thank you for taking care of me."
Xiao Yu didn't want to talk to her at all. She probably looked better, so she had adapted to the climate of Xichuan, or perhaps she had some connection with the land of Xichuan.
He walked over to the black-clad man lying motionless in the distance and examined him. "It looks like he was poisoned... he died of suffocation."
Qin Yunyan had seen many dead people when she was demoted to slavery, so she wasn't afraid. "They were fine just now, how could they have suffocated to death? Unless there really was a ghost strangling them in the dark. I just feel that this place is eerie."
Xiao Yu's mind worked quickly. Perhaps what happened in his dream was the Yinchuan Kingdom more than a thousand years ago, where the mountains and fields were covered with corpses, hence the heavy yin energy.
Thinking of this, he instantly understood, but didn't say it aloud. He only said, "Master Feng and Miss Gongsun talked about the details to pay attention to after entering Xichuan. The air here is special and not suitable for running around like they just did. Like you and me, and how come he's alright?"
Si Ci felt a little scared after hearing this. If he hadn't calmed down, he might have died. He said, "Is there anything else I need to be careful about?"
As he spoke, he raised the knife in his hand again and pointed it at Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu sneered, "You have already become the victims of the Earthly Fiend Sect, and all your subordinates are dead. Now that you're about to kill me, shouldn't you ask for my permission first?"
Xiao Yu was no pushover either; he knocked Si Ci's knife to the ground in two swift movements. "I just don't want to add another life to the list. You'd better watch yourself!"
Si Ci was dumbfounded. He knew that Xiao Yu had just managed to take the knife and kill him. Seeing that they had left and the sky was getting dark, he had no choice but to follow behind Xiao Yu. "I'll stay with Lord Xiao so we can look after each other. My name is Si Ci, and I'm considered a leader in the Earthly Fiend Sect."
Xiao Yu ignored him and was also recalling the scene in his dream. Perhaps the answer would be in his dream.
