Chapter 561: The Desert Trembled (1/2)

Lan sat on the sand as he looked at the silent surroundings. He could feel the strange fluctuations of his emotions, but he was not close to losing sanity like Xue Wei and the ghosts they had encountered previously had done.

Was the ability to keep sane due to his strength, or were there some hidden causes behind the changes that had occurred within this area?

Xue Wei was not acting as the ghosts. He was not violent or eager to fight; however, he had been blinded by the temptations of something unknown, which made him lose all sanity.

Such manipulation of feelings made Lan uncomfortable, as even he was unable to counter them. There had been no fluctuations within the heaven or earth energy, nor had the soul energy been stirred, causing him to find no clue behind the strange phenomenon.

He was not even capable of bringing Xue Wei elsewhere, as he did not know where to go. He could only hope that the brief break would clear up the younger man's thoughts.

There were no changes in the surroundings, no matter how much time passed. Lan could do nothing but sit and observe the unconscious Xue Wei while waiting for him to slowly wake up.

Even before Xue Wei opened his eyes, he felt as if something was pulling him in a special direction. The urge to grow wings and fly there was impossible to ignore, but his mind was much clearer than before.

His eyes opened, and he noticed that Lan was seated by his side, slowly unraveling his seal. His hands dug into the sand as he tried to stand up again.

The sand slowly slipped through his fingers as he put his weight on his arms and slowly stood up. The strange feeling of urgency made his mind feel as if there was a buzzing fly constantly causing him to lose his focus.

Lan felt his movements right away, and noticed that his expression was ugly, but he was still sane. ”How are you?”

Xue Wei considered the question seriously before he shook his head and said, ”I feel pretty horrible. However, I can still withstand the strange manipulation. Let us make our way towards the source of this strange influence and see what might be the cause.”

Lan nodded his head as he looked around. It did not matter much to him which way they went as everything seemed the same here, but he was still alert and kept an eye on Xue Wei's expressions.

Every time he was about to lose his sanity, he would be knocked out, and by the time he woke up, his mind would have cleared, and they could continue.

Time went by, and the frequency of the times he needed to be beaten by Lan also became less and less, until they eventually reached an area where Xue Wei's mind completely sobered up.

Even the strange feeling of urgency slowly calmed down as if he had reached his destination.
