Quickly, Ciel was able to see into the room which was surprisingly lavishly made where the walls were gold while the bed was created from rare, priceless silk.
A young man was lying on the bed, and he was not asleep. He was reading a book on cultivation, showing that he was a very diligent type of young man.
He had long black hair, a face that could probably be described as beautiful, deep black eyes, and a mysterious spiritual aura that occasionally emanated from his body even though he seemed to have problems in cultivation.
Ciel observed his rather thin figure, and he was quickly attracted to a golden ring on his finger.
It was a Storage Ring, yet just by looking at it Ciel could feel the aura of the various rare treasures within.
‘Wait, don’t tell me?’ Ciel was surprised as he felt three auras that he thought had a connection to his Holy Spirit Flame.
The problem was that the three auras gave a stronger impression, there was even one that made him worried.
Growing more curious, Ciel finally peered into the ring.
A moment after that, he wanted to take a deep breath but held it back because he didn’t want his change of expression to be seen by Madam Zhou and Madam Maya.
‘This is crazy, how does he have those three things at once?’ Ciel wondered in surprise.
After that, he looked at Madam Zhou and Madam Maya including Mu Yueli.
“Let’s go in now,” he said to them.
Hearing his words, Mu Yueli finally dared to approach.
“We haven’t examined the cave thoroughly,” she said.
“No need, it’s safe,” Ciel replied.
Not waiting for Mu Yueli to speak again, he took a step towards the cave so that the others would have no other choice but to follow him.
With a few steps, he managed to land right in front of the mouth of the cave.
“Are we just going to enter like this, Prince?” asked Madam Maya as she landed beside him.
She showed a strange expression because it seemed like they had come to knock on the door of someone else’s house.
“There’s no need for anything complicated,” Ciel replied calmly.
At the same time, the Night Lion, the old man was stunned until his mouth opened.
Hastily, he went to the mouth of the cave. He felt Madam Maya’s aura, but also felt two other very strong auras, something that worried him.
When he arrived there, he immediately opened his mouth.
“You?” He pointed his hand at Madam Maya.
His body trembled very quickly.
How could he not now understand that Madam Maya had betrayed him. She had actually brought someone else to his hiding place.
What frustrated him was the fact that one of them was the Ice Prince. The latter was even accompanied by an expert from the Ice Palace.
When it came to the Ice Palace, he couldn’t deny that he was very worried.
“You’re just an old man with such cultivation, but dare to hide here, die…” Mu Yueli suddenly made a move right away. She lunged towards him with an ice sword in her hand.
Her eyes were cold, emitting a strong killing intent. One could not help but tremble just by feeling that aura.
Perhaps the woman wanted to calm her chaotic mood by fighting.
“Girl, don’t be arrogant!” The Night Lion was also not an old man who was easily underestimated.
When Mu Yueli approached, he took out a long staff that had the tip of a lion’s head.
He pointed the lion’s head at Mu Yueli, and suddenly, darkness with stars in it gushed out, moving towards Mu Yueli.
It was unknown what technique it was, but Mu Yueli looked very alert.
She slashed her sword forward several times, creating countless sharp icicles and was definitely extremely cold, freezing the air around them.
“That’s useless,” the old man said suddenly.
His words made Ciel wonder about his abilities.
He observed with the Eyes of Heaven, and found that it was indeed a terrifying technique, filled with mystery.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The stars in the darkness crashed into all of Mu Yueli’s ice, pushing them back.
However, Mu Yueli suddenly advanced forward. Her body emitted an extremely powerful cold aura, increasing at an unimaginable speed that made the old man become wary.
The aura turned blue over time, enveloping her body.
Although it didn’t form something like armor, it somehow seemed more terrifying.
It seemed to be some kind of special mode that increased Mu Yueli’s strength.
“She’s so strong,” said Madam Zhou, suddenly showing an amazed expression.
She clearly wasn’t talking about the cultivation base, but combat power.
Whoosh!
Mu Yueli who arrived in front of the darkness entered it, and instantly split it into two.
“You?” The old man was dumbfounded then took a hasty step back.
He seemed to want to enter the cave, who knows what he was planning, but he clearly realized that Mu Yueli was stronger than him.
However, before he could enter the cave, a female figure wearing a black dress suddenly appeared behind him, and pointed a black ice spear at his back.
He was unaware of the woman’s existence until the spearhead pierced his skin.
His eyes were wide open as he looked back, but in this kind of situation there was no way he could have done anything.
Shua!
The ice spear pierced through his chest and shattered his heart causing his mouth to spit out blood.
At the same time, Mu Yueli arrived in front of him, she directly stabbed her sword into his neck.
“Noooo, young master, use that…” He shouted before dying.
His shout was so loud that Elliot could hear it clearly.
He was in shock and his skin became very pale from panic.
Hastily, he looked out through the formation, and what he found made him immediately show a desperate expression. How could he not be desperate when his strongest protector was killed.
Without the old man, he would only be accompanied by the unreliable Hegemons to take care of big things.
Of course, for him now saving himself was still more important. 𝓞𝓋ℯ𝓵xt.𝗇𝓔t
In his hand, something suddenly came out, a black sphere with the sky and stars inside.
“Night World, active,” he said.
Right after he said that, a dark light radiated out of the cave for a split second before disappearing.
“What is this?” Ciel was dumbfounded as he found he was in a different place.
Looking around, he felt like he was in the infinite sky.
There was no one around him. No, there was one person in a place quite far away, Mu Yueli.
The woman stood looking up at the sky, knitting her brows.
Ciel quickly approached her and asked, “Yueli, what’s going on?”
Hearing Ciel’s voice calling her name, Mu Yueli trembled in surprise.
She then looked at him and replied, “We’re in serious trouble now!”
“What do you mean?”
“It’s one of the Ancient Night Race’s supreme techniques, called the Night World, an illusion technique capable of drawing reality into illusion. This world is an illusion, but our bodies are real bodies. This illusion can be considered non-existent. If we can get out, we will get out one second right after we enter this illusion, but if we don’t make it out, we will die in the end. This is a very dangerous technique, and is probably released by a very powerful god, who is then incorporated into an formation. Perhaps the Protection Formations in your body can’t protect you either. As far as I know, even when this technique is released by an enemy equal to you, you have an 80 percent chance of dying, and for this one, there’s probably no chance of us surviving.”
When saying all that, Mu Yueli’s expression became quite gloomy.
She wasn’t the kind that would panic when facing death, but it was clear she was having trouble accepting that she would die in this place.
“Wait, why are there only us here? Where are the others?” Ciel asked, he also didn’t look panicked at all as he had absolute faith in the power of his Eyes of Heaven.
Given that this was an illusion, its weakness must be hidden all around, and as long as it was destroyed, the illusion would be destroyed.
He began to activate the power of his eyes, keeping an eye on the surrounding area.
Only, Mu Yueli suddenly blushed after she heard his question, which was puzzling.
Of course, there was a reason why Mu Yueli blushed.
This was because according to the information she knew, inside this illusion, when two people thought of each other very strongly, they would appear in the same place.
This meant that Ciel was thinking about her quite a lot, and she happened to be doing the same – she was thinking about Ciel too much.
For this matter, Mu Yueli vowed not to say it.
She pretended to look around and said, “although it’s difficult, we’d better try to find a way to get out of here!”
When in a desperate situation and looking for a way out, Mu Yueli was still surprisingly calm. She has such a great mentality that nothing can shake her heart except romance.
Little did she know that the current Ciel had actually discovered the weakness of that illusion.
