Chapter 91 The Abnormal Phenomenon

Nangong Xun said the words unexpectedly and suddenly, but Dugu Muyou thought he must have his reasons, so she asked, "Where to go?"

Nangong Xun didn't reply. With a wave of spiritual qi suddenly, a picture appeared in front of him from the void. There were mountains and waters on it, as well as small and large cities.

Nangong Xun pointed to a city in the center and said, "We are here now." His finger moved from the city gate to the north. It raked across the giant mountains, small cities, and several villages and finally stopped in a bamboo forest.

The bamboo forest that Nangong Xun pointed to was in the hills, surrounded by towering peaks. This mountains area was a remote place with almost no people on the Jinnan mainland. Even cultivators rarely got there. The deeper people went into the hills, the denser the distribution of spiritual animals inside. Even the cultivators would probably lose their lives if they hastily rushed into the place.

Nangong Xun pointed at the bamboo forest, and it immediately got enlarged in the picture.

"Why do you want to go there?" Dugu Muyou asked.

"My men found an abnormal phenomenon here. The state of spiritual qi is bizarre. You see, all the spiritual animals here were gone."

Dugu Muyou looked at the bamboo forest carefully. As Nangong Xun said, there was indeed no spiritual animal in sight. However, comparing to this bamboo forest, Dugu Muyou was more interested in the magic weapon of Nangong Xun, from which they could even directly see the local situation.

"What's wrong here?" As soon as Dugu Muyou asked, she found something abnormal. She saw a sizeable abrupt clearing in this dense bamboo forest. The surrounding bamboos grew luxuriantly, but this place was bare and had nothing but a misty fog.

"What is this?"

"It's the Land of Illusion. It would appear once every three hundred years in the past. Although the place it appeared was uncertain, it was always within the scope of Jinnan. But it stopped being opened for some unknown reasons, and the people of the Lingyuan Continent have gradually forgotten it. Now the Land of Illusion appeared again. Set off to go there immediately. The Land of Illusion much likely has something needed by Blood Fox, and it will also be of great benefit to your cultivation. The Land of Illusion will not be closed for ten days once it opened. You can get twice the result with half the effort while doing cultivation inside."

Dugu Muyou looked thoughtful, "I want to take a few people with me."

Nangong Xun didn't say anything to her words but said, "I will go first. Hurry up."

"You'll go there too?"

Nangong Xun faintly glanced at Dugu Muyou, "Since the Land of Illusion has so many benefits, there must be fierce spiritual animals. Do you think you can handle them with your current level?"

After Nangong Xun finished speaking, he disappeared on the spot. Blood Fox had already rushed to Dugu Muyou's shoulders vigorously. After a month of effort to lose weight, Blood Fox had returned to its original size under the close supervision of Dugu Muyou.

"So, you are not angry with me now, huh?" Dugu Muyou asked slyly.

She had forced Blood Fox to lose weight and strictly prohibited it from eating chicken. Although Blood Fox exerted all the methods, no one in Youshui Garden was willing to find chicken for it, so it vented all its anger for being unable to eat meat on Dugu Muyou. It was a pity that Blood Fox had lost its position and influence, and no matter how high and mighty it had been, it was only a sick fox now. It had no way to deal with Dugu Muyou, so it could only express its anger by ignoring her. It even did not look at Dugu Muyou until just now.

"I am a flexible fairy fox, so I won't bother to be angry with a stupid woman like you." Blood Fox raised its head and said disdainfully.

"If it hadn't been for me, you would still have been so fat that your Lord would punish you hard on seeing you."

All of a sudden, Blood Fox's small body trembled violently. As if having thought of something, it stretched out its paws and hugged around Dugu Muyou's neck, still trembling.

Dugu Muyou turned her head and glanced at it, strangely asking, "Have you done similar things and been taught a lesson by Nangong Xun before?"

Blood Fox got stunned for a while, and then immediately, it protested loudly, "How is it possible? I am such a wise fairy fox, and how would others teach me a lesson?"

"Yeah, others would not teach you a lesson, but is your Lord the same as others?"

While speaking, Dugu Muyou walked to the hall in Youshui Garden. She ordered the maid to call Dugu Ziteng and others to go here. Soon, Dugu Ziteng and Dugu Xiaotong and the other ones all came over.

With a happy expression, they entered the hall while chatting.

Xiaotong was the liveliest one. As soon as he came in, he rushed to Dugu Muyou like a monkey. His eyes looked glowing, and he said, "Boss, do you have tasks to hand over to us? I have been cultivating for so many days that I am going to be depressed. Well, I like cultivation, of course. Thanks to your pills, we can make such a big improvement."

"What is your level now?"

Xiaotong immediately summoned a ball of spiritual qi, which was bronze and kept spinning in the air. He delivered the bronze ball to Dugu Muyou as if presenting a treasure, "I just advanced two days ago and reached the bronze stage of Heaven rank."

The bronze ball was beating up and down, with its light flickering, and it got close and rubbed against Dugu Muyou's cheek.

Dugu Muyou smiled and poked it with her finger. Suddenly, a paw stretched out from her side and slapped the bronze ball away. Blood Fox gave Xiaotong an unpleased look, its eyes full of warning.

Xiaotong was stunned and unconsciously shrank, feeling chilly inexplicably.

"Good job. How about you?"

The remaining few people smiled and glanced at each other, and they showed their level one after another.

Dugu Ziteng had the highest level and had reached the silver stage of Heaven rank. The others' original level had been like Xiaotong's. Naturally, they had all advanced to the bronze stage now.

Dugu Muyou was satisfied with the result. They were different from her. Without the Yuehua Diamond helping in their cultivation and the core cultivation method of the Dugu Family, they were naturally inferior to her in terms of progress.

Dugu Xiuping had thought that their cultivation speed was already fast, but he didn't see Dugu Muyou showed any surprised air. He couldn't help feeling a little strange and asking, "Boss, what level have you reached?"

The others all looked at Dugu Muyou, obviously all interested in her answer. Dugu Muyou had been the first to become a Heaven rank cultivator, and Dugu Ziteng followed her. Now that Dugu Ziteng was at the silver stage, they guessed that Dugu Muyou should have reached the silver stage, too.

Dugu Muyou had become accustomed to others' gaze. With a move of her finger, a ribbon composed of three colored lights appeared. This colored light ribbon wrapped around her fingertip as if she had put a ring on her finger.

The group of people stared dumbfounded at the colored light ribbon around Dugu Muyou's finger, and no one spoke for a while.

Xiaotong rubbed his eyes, suspecting that his eyes had deceived him. He leaned forward unconsciously to see clearly, but suddenly, he caught the threatening gaze of Blood Fox, and then he immediately jumped back a few steps.

Although Xiaotong was frightened by Blood Fox, the astonishment in his heart did not diminish. He cried out strangely, "Boss, your cultivation speed is so, so amazing!"

Dugu Ziteng was in a complicated mood. He had been diligent in cultivation without being slack for any moment these days, so he finally reached the silver stage. But all his efforts had no advantage when compared to Dugu Muyou. She had already left him far behind.

Dugu Muyou fiddled with the light ribbon of three colors around her finger at will, not paying attention to their gazes. She said casually, "I have something to tell you this time. We'll set off and go to the Land of Illusion now."

"The Land of Illusion?"

Being attracted by what Dugu Muyou said, Dugu Ziteng immediately put away the thought in his mind.

"You'll know when you get there."

"Is it the Land of Illusion?" Dugu Xiuping asked hesitantly. Seeing everyone looking over, he continued to speak, "I have read a book mentioning it in the family's library. It is said that the Land of Illusion is a mysterious territory that appears once in more than three hundred years. It is full of treasures, precious herbs, and advanced spiritual animals. The speed of cultivation in it can be much faster than that of outside. It has many benefits, but it is also accompanied with danger."

Dugu Ziteng pondered, "Since it has so many benefits, why haven't we heard of it before?"

"It is because the Land of Illusion hasn't been opened for many years." Dugu Muyou stopped their conversation, "We are going to set off soon. Go and pack things right away."

"I have nothing to pack up."

Dugu Qi said, and the others nodded, following her.

"Okay, let's go. I have already prepared the spiritual animal wagon."

They went out of the gate and indeed saw a spiritual animal wagon waiting there.

This spiritual animal wagon was bought in advance by Dugu Muyou, and naturally, it was the private property of Youshui Garden. There was only one spiritual animal to pull the wagon, but it was a Cloud Riding Horse, which was the fastest and had the best stamina among the spiritual animals for pulling wagons. Of course, this spiritual animal was costly, and hence Dugu Muyou spent a lot of money at the auction to buy it. Although the wagon looked ordinary without any fancy decorations, it was made of sturdy wood, waterproof and fireproof.

"Wow! I can finally get in the spiritual animal wagon. I have wanted to try it since a long time ago." Xiaotong said exaggeratedly, drooling at the spiritual animal wagon.

Dugu Ying slapped Dugu Xiaotong on the back of his head, "Get in quickly."

All of them got in the wagon. Dugu Deyuan sat in front to be the coachman. As he shook the rein in his hands, the Cloud Riding Horse sprayed out a few small white clouds from its nose and stepped forward after growling. With a big white cloud rising up at its feet, its vast body flew up effortlessly, pulling the entire wagon into the sky.

Below the spiritual animal wagon, a man raised his head and shouted, "Miss Muyou! Master orders you to meet him."

Dugu Muyou glanced down and said to Deyuan, "Forget it. Let's go."

The Cloud Riding Horse gave a low growl, and the spiritual animal wagon galloped and disappeared into the clouds in the blink of an eye. At the entrance of Youshui Garden, the man who had shouted looked anxious. After staying for a while, he ran towards the Dugu Zhong's court.

The spiritual animal wagon galloped among the clouds. Xiaotong excitedly stretched his head out of the wagon, tilting his face up to feel the oncoming vapor, "Ah, it's so comfortable."

Although the group of people could float in the air, it was limited in height, and they could not go everywhere at will. It was the first time that they galloped through the clouds like this. Besides Xiaotong, the others also looked excited.

Blood Fox snorted, "Hayseed!"

Xiaotong retracted his head embarrassedly, having no idea how he had offended the fox.

The spiritual animal wagon swiftly flew over the mountains and cities, unimpeded all the way. Half a day later, the spiritual animal wagon glided down from the clouds and landed in a dense bamboo forest in the hills. The Cloud Riding Horse kept kicking with its four feet on the ground and seemed that it hadn't gotten satisfied yet. Dugu Muyou touched its head to comfort it.

"Is it here?" Dugu Ying glanced around, frowning, "What happened to the spiritual qi here? It makes me feel uncomfortable."
