Chapter 288 Like Reality, Like Illusion
Chapter 288 Like Reality, Like Illusion
in the wind and snow, chen mu led the charge, mounted on his horse.
with each stride covering seven or eight meters, he sprinted down twin peaks mountain at extreme speed.
as he passed by the entrance of a dojo cave, chen mu glanced inside with his peripheral vision.
suddenly, he discovered seven or eight disciples from the lower courtyard, all in various short garments, standing right at the doorway.
their eyes were pale white, staring at him indifferently with their ghastly eyes.
chen mu felt the hair on his head nearly stand on end.
he urged on his divine steps thousand miles, fleeing as if flying!
the six siblings of wu mountain did not utter a word, exerting all their strength to follow chen mu's pace, running headlong.
by the time they reached the last layer, chen mu didn't even take the mountain path; he led the six siblings to jump straight down from the seven or eight-meter-high trail, just like dumplings.
boom!
the rolling white snow was overturned by the landing force of the several people.
without waiting for it to disperse, it was once again broken through by the seven people, carrying them straight toward the scripture transmission institute.
...
"director fu zi!" just as he leapt into the scripture cave, chen mu shouted loudly.
however, the aloof figure that usually sat behind the counter was nowhere to be seen.
the entire scripture cave was eerily quiet. only the sound of chen mu's voice, reflecting off the cave walls, faintly echoed back to his ears.
"i'll go in and look!" ai ji lifted his foot to walk further inside.
but he was grabbed by chen mu.
a black crescent blade suddenly appeared five meters in front of them.
boom!
a fistful of white snow burst open suddenly.
woo-ah...
accompanied by a miserable scream, the exploded snowflakes slowly dissipated in midair like fireworks.
only a barely perceivable black powder was left sprinkled on the ground.
chen mu's heart sank suddenly.
director song was missing, and director fu zi was nowhere to be seen.
the last person with the condense aperture cultivation, minor director liang, was also missing.
and this unknown threat seemed to loom nearby.
"leave the mountain!"
they must leave peng yue mountain as soon as possible!
...
not long after chen mu left,
a series of gentle footsteps suddenly started in the quiet scripture cave.
a black boot stepped out from the shadow of a corridor and onto the black dust.
"seems someone was calling me?" fu zi looked towards the cave entrance with a puzzled expression.
to the south of peng yue mountain, as far as the eye could see, everything was covered in thick snow, a vast expanse of whiteness.
"the snow has finally stopped," fu zi remarked with his hands behind his back.
"having been in the lower courtyard of tongtian river for dozens of years, i've hardly ever seen it snow."
"well, now i've had enough all at once," fu zi thought with glee.
whether it was an illusion or not, he always felt that under the dim yellow sky, the snow carried a slight dull blue hue.
he glanced at the flickering glowing algae lamps of cold moon workshop down below.
fu zi could almost immediately imagine the scene of many disciples from the lower courtyard gathering in the pub, listening to storytellers and chatting away, a bustling scene.
"alas... the bustle is for others,"
"only the tranquility of the scripture cave belongs to me," fu zi shook his head slightly, a satisfied smile crossing his face, then he turned and walked back into the scripture cave.
the faint sounds of wind and snow started to envelope the entrance of the cave lightly, masking all other noises.
and unknown to them, the patch of black ash on the ground also disappeared without a trace.
...
"three yin slaying demon!"
accompanied by a chilling low growl,
ai ji and xu rao appeared behind the group with faces full of disbelief.
"impossible!" ai ji bellowed.
xu rao cursed in local dialects that chen mu didn't understand, then raised his hand and waved it towards the boundary monument.
"three yin slaying demon!"
bang!
the two-meter-tall boundary monument was instantly shattered.
"have you heard of it?" lu ku looked at wu ruo.
"the folk tale about ghost hitting the wall?" wu ruo frowned.
"or some kind of large forbidden law." lu ku pondered deeply, "but peng yue mountain definitely doesn't have any forbidden laws."
"are we still befuddled, never having woken up?" not help but bloken up he looked to chen mu.
just now in the training hall, it was chen mu who had slain the invisible monster and awakened them.
was that fake?
but chen mu's eyes suddenly brightened.
this wasn't an infinite space, nor a crack in time-space.
they might have just been misled in their minds and senses!
even if the real person from the white tower could transform into a black dragon and ride the clouds and mists, he still left traces and could not travel through space.
how could there be a demon more formidable than the white tower's true person in the wilds of peng yue mountain?!
"seven souls return to origin!"
hum!
ai ji, who had been pacing back and forth agitatedly, suddenly slumped to the ground.
chen mu's eyes were wide open, intensely observing the surroundings.
"it's not enough!"
with a thought, he connected once more to a star within the mist.
xu rao immediately followed ai ji's lead, falling to the ground with a thud.
a faint ripple of water flashed by the corner of chen mu's eyes.
"still not enough!"
the next moment, shi xian also slumped to the ground.
hum!
the scene in front of him was flickering as if a video was buffering in a bad internet connection, with the blizzard unexpectedly causing stuttering and flickers?!
"ha!"
yu lin's body suddenly shook, and he kneeled on the ground weakly.
chen mu felt his spirit stronger than ever before.
his eyes even began to flicker with a faint silver glow.
pfft!
the blizzard abruptly stopped, and where chen mu gazed, it was like watching a movie screen being ignited, the invisible flames burning the screen and obliterating the images.
the blizzard was gone, the howling wind was gone, and the brightly-lit cold moon lodge turned dim.
the entire peng yue mountain was covered with white snow as usual, quiet up and down the mountain, as if no living thing existed.
lu ku hesitantly spoke, "mr. gongsun?"
"tell me, is it still snowing above us?" chen mu asked, not directly answering.
"yes!" lu ku's expression shifted, respectfully responding.
what an amazing exotic force!
"follow me, and no matter what you see, don't pay any attention to it!"
"yes!" lu ku's face immediately lit up with joy.
...
a quarter of an hour later.
chen mu looked at the familiar log cabin in front of him with relief.
"is it still snowing above?" chen mu asked lu ku behind him.
"no more!" lu ku, drenched in sweat, had his eyes filled with joy.
chen mu let out a sigh of relief.
finally... finally managed to get down the mountain!
