Chapter 271: You Are Cheng Yu? (1/2)
While Cheng Yu managed to open up the hidden chamber, all the strange phenomenons happening within the forest had disappeared.
“What’s going on? Why has the scenery changed?” A lot of them who had charged into the forest were all confused by the strange phenomenon. No matter how they walked, they would still find themselves returning to their original locations. What was more hideous was that every time, they would find themselves stuck in the opposite position. Even worse, they would occasionally bump into demonic beasts that had their torso and physique reversed. And they had been sneaked attack by these strange demonic beasts several times. A lot of groups that had casually charged into the forest suffered from tragic losses so much that some groups had even been extinguished. Just when the majority of them had given up hope, the world before them started to turn fuzzy. In an instant, the scenery before them took a 360 degree turn. The symbols they carved had all returned to normal.
“We’re saved! Everything has returned to normal!” Some of them who were fighting the demonic beasts realized that its torso and physique had returned to normal.
“What exactly is going on? Why did everything return to normal?” In the depths of the forest, Ning Yan, Wu Ming and Ling Hai were battling one of the weird demonic beasts. When they realized the demonic beast had returned to normal, the trio were baffled.
“Who cares! Kill it first,” Ning Yan was also puzzled, but the demonic beast before them had already charged over. Where would she have the time to contemplate such stuff?
“Red Moon Meteor Fire!” Wu Ming reacted. With a leap up to the sky, he shouted. The Red-Sun Sword in his hand shot out as numerous blazing sword reflections fell down, resembling numerous falling meteors. The demonic beast got injured as it howled in pain.
“Falling Meteor!” Ling Hai responded as he flew towards it like a shooting star and sliced towards the demonic beast’s head.
“What exactly is going on here? A moment ago, everything was reversed. I’m truly confused. Are we are still in the ‘reverse world’ or in the ‘normal world’?” After finishing the battle, Wu Ming sized up his surrounding before analyzing.
“We should be in the normal world. I believe that the whole forest was covered in a formation. Now that someone deciphered the formation, the whole area had returned to normal,” Ning Yan speculated. Along the way, they had entered into the ‘reverse world’ numerous times. But every time they had eliminated the demonic beast, the current district they were at would return to normal. But now, before the demonic beast died, the district they were at had returned to normal. This meant that there was a bigger controller controlling everything behind the scenes. Therefore, the only speculation she could come up with was that there was a bigger formation behind the whole forest.
“Formation? En. The possibility is very high. If the whole forest was covered in a formation, then the situations we faced in the forest seem to be explainable. However, with such a big formation, how many resources were needed to fully implement it?” Ling Hai voiced out his astonishment.
“We just need to follow our original plan and continue walking forward. If there no more emergence of the ‘reverse world,’ that means that everything has returned to normal,” After all, what they had all said was just speculation. If it was like what Ling Hai had said, to have placed a formation on the whole forest, how high was that person’s cultivation?

When Cheng Yu, Tian Xing and Tian Xue returned to the palace hall, the stone door at the top gradually closed. And within the palace hall, only a single stone door was left open. This stone door was linked to the main palace hall.
“Senior Brother! Look! We can get out of here!” Seeing the passage that lead them back to the main palace hall, Tian Xing voiced out his excitement. Even the unhappiness he had when his portion of spiritual stones was taken away was all forgotten.
“I’m not blind. I can see it myself,” Cheng Yu replied ill-manneredly.
“Senior Brother, you aren’t being serious, right? You see, my portion of spiritual stones…” Tian Xing came to Cheng Yu, giggling.
“Who says I’m joking with you? In any case, I already seized your portion. If you have the ability, go ask your Senior Sister to split half of hers with you,” Cheng Yu ignored Tian Xing as he walked towards the main hall happily.
“Senior Sister, my spiritual stones…” Without a choice, Tian Xing could only go towards Tian Xue and beg.
“Your portion of spiritual stones is with him. If you want it, go ask from him!” Tian Xing had just opened his mouth and was already cut off by Tian Xue. She didn’t even give Tian Xing an opportunity to speak.
“You…good! What a good illicit couple. Adulterers!” Tian Xing couldn’t get back his portion of spiritual stones. He stood at a corner and muttered.
“What did you say?” Tian Xue’s face turned icy as she turned around and looked at Tian Xing.
“Ah? I said nothing?” Tian Xing was startled as he voiced out innocently.
“Continue speaking rubbish and I will tear your mouth apart!” Tian Xue spoke ruthlessly. The moment Tian Xue turned back, Tian Xing mimicked a comical face behind her. But when Tian Xue turned back around, Tian Xing quickly kept his expression away. He lifted up his head, looking at the top of the main hall, as if nothing had happened.
“Alright. Take it,” Seeing how pitiful Tian Xing was, Cheng Yu no longer played with him. He tossed a storage pouch to Tian Xing.
“Wa! Senior Brother, you are the best, not like someone else. I recommend you that you must never marry her!” Tian Xing took the storage pouch and scanned inside. When he saw piles after piles of spiritual stones in it, he immediately got excited.
“Ah!” But the moment Tian Xing spoke finish, a miserable scream was heard.
“What did you say? Who is that someone?” Tian Xue pinched Tian Xing’s ears, gnashing her teeth as she spoke.
