Chapter 37: An Ominous Feeling (1/2)
The herbs where Xiao Wei destroyed were magically restored, completely spotless.
A solemn expression appeared on Yang Wei's face as he walked forward to investigate some clues.
Kneeling down slightly to touch the herbs, Yang Wei was able to tell that the herbs are real and not some illusion.
'If this isn't another mist of hallucination then there must be some formation happening in this area right now.'
Yang Wei said inwardly as he tried to look for an exit this time. There should be some teleportation runes around here since it was the only possible method to enter here.
Activating his spiritual sense, Yang Wei was determined to use every ounce of his true qi to find a clue.
Spending the next few hours, Yang Wei sighs as nothing seems out of the ordinary.
Rubbing his forehead lightly, Yang Wei decided to pick up every herb in this garden.
'If Senior Ling still doesn't appear when I'm blatantly robbing his herbs then it means one thing only. Senior Ling was never a real person and we have been talking to an illusion.'
An ominous feeling occurred in Yang Wei if this statement was true. That is because it would mean they have never disabled the mist of hallucination.
Yang Wei quickly plucks every herb into the spatial ring that Elder Jing uses. Only the ground and soil could be seen now when Yang Wei leaped into the air to view.
”I really hate this feeling I'm getting,” Yang Wei smiled bitterly in his sharp thinking.
Sometimes Yang Wei just wished to be incorrect in his judgment and was simply being paranoid.
”Xiao Wei, scan the area for me and keep destroying the soil. I want to see if there is something underground.” Yang Wei ordered since his cultivation base was limited to remain airborne.
Thus, he could only start finding some sort of symbols underground as he waited for Elder Jing to wake up.
Yang Wei did not laze around as Xiao Wei began his work. He was busy recalling his encounter with Old Ling.
Suddenly, like a bolt of thunder hit his mind, Yang Wei became ashen and pale.
Back when Yang Wei said he broke the mist of hallucination, that was when Old Ling appeared behind Elder Jing.
'C-Could this be… a scheme from the mist to deceive our mindset?'
With a pale expression, Yang Wei hurriedly retreats back to the hut that resides Elder Jing.
Yang Wei became dumbfounded when the hut was no longer there.
”ELDER JING”
Yang Wei screamed in panic and used his spiritual sense to look for her. However, there was zero sign of people anywhere in this garden.
Sweats started trickling down his forehead as he felt a chill running through his body on this ominous feeling.
