Chapter 296 - Lost In Dream (2/2)

Xiao Chen pushed aside the fruit Zhiluan handed him, got up and staggered outside. When he came out, he felt that sunshine was slightly dazzling. Water mist rose in the distant pool, above which there was a brilliant rainbow, and several butterflies were dancing around the rainbow.

“That’s not a dream… it’s not a dream… I’m going to ask him again!”

Zhiluan came after him and said, “One moment you say it’s a dream, the next you say it’s not. And who are you going to ask?”

“Leave me alone!” Xiao Chen pushed him aside, and ran towards the valley.

Zhiluan followed him and shouted, “Hey! If you’re going to die, at least bring me out first!”

An hour later, the man and the cat came again to the valley where they were at yesterday. Zhiluan shook with fear and said, “Don’t go any further, boy, otherwise we’ll really die…”

When they were 500 meters away from the entrance of the cave, Xiao Chen stopped and dared not get closer, because he felt that he had attracted the puppet’s attention again. If he got closer, he would surely be attacked by the puppet again.

This time he talked with the man by using his Divine Sense. The puppet could not sense his Divine Sense, but he could see everything in the cave.

“Who the hell are you? Did you talk to me last night?” He transmitted his Divine Sense into the ice.

However, no matter how he much he tried, the man never showed any fluctuation of Divine Sense; he was just like a man who had been dead for thousands of years.

“Who are you? Who the hell are you? Why? Why?” Xiao Chen’s mood was out of control now.

Suddenly, he saw the sarcophagus moving. He immediately retracted his Divine Sense and flew about hundreds of meters backwards, while holding on to Zhiluan. The puppet was too powerful for him to take any risks. Moreover, he could not get any answer.

In this way, they returned to flower valley. All day long, he was restless and unable to meditate. “Who on earth is the man? Why did he seal himself in the ice here? Was everything just a dream?”

Since joining Violet Manor, he had experienced many sorts of happenings, such as the great devil Gu Feng running out of the tomb of Xiao Family, the site of Mystic Cyan Sect in a wilderness in the East Continent, the resurgent Patriarch of Skygale Sect, the ancient scroll and the skeleton of the Immortal King found in Xianyong Sect, the ancient Divine Corpse mentioned by the Corpse Refinery Sect, and the man sealed in ice.

Xiao Chen became more and more confused. All this seemed to have nothing to do with his master, but led him to an unknown direction, time and again. Thinking of this, Xiao Chen felt upset and tousled his hair.

Zhiluan came over, and said seriously to Xiao Chen. He was seldom serious like this. “Boy, I don’t know why you’re upset, but the Immortal’s Sword Assembly will be held in half a month, and the Devil Aura is getting worse over there in the Burg of the Feral Phoenix. Aren’t you going to think about how to get out of here?”

Xiao Chen forced a powerless smile on his face. In his mind, the Devil Aura, all beings of the world, and the Immortal’s Sword Assembly, were not as important as finding his master. Last night in his dream, he heard that his master had died. Even though he was in a dream at that time, he still felt desperate.

Zhiluan sat down and said, “Take a break alone. I’ll go and see how we can get out. We are both missing. That little girl must be worried…” Then he got up and set off in the distance.

Xiao Chen suddenly sobered up. There were so many people around him, who cared about him, such as Xian’er, Mu Xue, Senior Sister Luo, Brother Yifeng, and his parents. But every time when he heard something about his master, he was always ill at ease, and forgot about the people around him.

“It’s dangerous here. Don’t run about!”

Zhiluan patted himself on his chest, and said with a smile on his face, “Don’t worry. My power has been restored. It will be all right!” Then he spread his wings and flew over to the other side of the flower valley.

Xiao Chen sighed. He sat down by the pool and meditated for a moment. “The Devil Aura in the Burg of the Feral Phoenix is getting worse. It may be related to all beings of the world. Didn’t Master teach me many times that cultivators should attach most importance to all beings of the world?”

“When the situation becomes critical, I should not keep out of the affair. And I’m afraid there will be a hard battle waiting for me at the Immortal’s Sword Assembly. At this time, I should calm down and practice more. I can always find master one day.”

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen sat cross-legged and began to absorb the spiritual Qi around him. In this place, the spiritual Qi was very abundant. For the cultivators today, it might only speed up their entrance to realms. But for him who had mastered the Mystic Cyan Cultivation Method and owned twelve Spiritual Meridiana, he would improve himself at a tremendous pace if he cultivated here.

At sunset, Zhiluan flew back in a hurry and anxiously said, “Boy! I saw over there…”

Xiao Chen opened his eyes and asked, “Speak slowly, what did you see?”

“I saw… saw…” Zhiluan was so out of breath that he could not speak for a moment.
