I hesitated, slowly walking towards him. When facing him directly, I realized his outline was familiar, yet I couldn’t recall where I’d seen him before. Seeing his unfocused eyes, I was more certain he was blind. My heart softened: “Well… I was originally following someone, but they suddenly disappeared, so…”
My throat choked because an invisible hand was already gripping my neck.
Looking at the man, who hadn’t moved, his lips curved into a strange arc: “You think by hiding your immortal energy, I wouldn’t know you’re an immortal?”
I stared at him in shock. Even Qing Yuan and Mu Yin couldn’t recognize me in mortal form, yet he knew. Seeing his face full of cold indifference, I suddenly remembered – I’ve seen this person before!
Mu Chuan!
When he killed me back then, it was like crushing an ant. Now, it was the same. If his hand’s force increased slightly, my neck would likely be twisted off.
Following the path into the pear garden, I tried to escape, but the road seemed endless. The pear trees grew taller, and whether looking up or ahead, there was only an endless long road that made one’s heart sink into an abyss and the mind dizzy. I bit my teeth, and the spell to clear obstacles was completely useless.
“Xushu, Xushu.”
The distant, ethereal voice came through the clouds. I looked up, but saw only a hazy sky. Flying towards the heavens, I couldn’t penetrate the dark clouds, no matter how far I flew, the voice remained unreachable.
Awakening from this exhausting dream, I let out a long sigh.
This was not the first time I’d had such a dream. Could it be that I, as a divine lord, had the ability to foresee that I would encounter a group of women who would mistake me for Xushu?
As I moved, the wound on my chest split open again, causing me to inhale sharply. A warm breath swept beside me, and I immediately had a bad feeling. Looking over, I saw Mu Chuan sleeping nearby. I silently held back a mouthful of blood, inching closer to the cold wall, shaking my head and preparing to go outside. Mu Chuan immediately moved his eyes, startling me into pulling back and pressing against the wall again.
