Chapter 92 One Should Help When Seeing Injustice on One's Way

"Maybe it's the phenomenon brought about by the opening of the Land of Illusion," said Dugu Muyou. She was searching for Nangong Xun but he wasn't there, "Let's walk inside."

Dugu Muyou patted the Cloud Riding Horse, "Now go and have some fun. Remember, don't travel too far from here."

Cloud Riding Horse snorted, and a few clouds came out. It jumped on the cloud and rode it away.

"Boss, where is the Land of Illusion? Should we spread out to find it?"

Thinking of all the benefits that the Land of Illusion could bring, Xiaotong was so excited that he wanted to find it immediately. They had found out on their way that there was no trace of other cultivators coming around this bamboo forest. It would seem that the opening of the Land of Illusion was still a secret. Xiaotong thought in his mind, "It's absolutely a brilliant decision to follow Dugu Muyou. She could even know such a secret!"

Dugu Herong looked at Xiaotong listlessly and tried to calm him down.

"Don't you forget that the Land of Illusion is also extremely dangerous? Stay alert or you might die in it."

"Don't jinx it," grumbled Xiaotong.

"Keep silent. Everyone, follow me." Dugu Muyou interrupted their conversation, "This bamboo forest is safe, but we still have to be alarmed. We don't know what would happen here."

Dugu Muyou remembered the map that Nangong Xun showed her and led the others towards the mist.

This forest was full of bamboo and it hardly had any visitor. The leaves were so dense that the sky was blocked by them. Dugu Muyou and the others were floating in the air, stepping between the tip of the bamboos. They were traveling at their full speed and reached the mist within a short time.

Dugu Muyou glanced at the surroundings but what was odd was that she didn't see Nangong Xun. Shouldn't he be waiting for her? The most peculiar thing was that there were a few strands of dark light mixed with the mist, which made it creepy.

Dugu Ziteng frowned and said in an alarming voice, "I haven't seen any of the spiritual animals on the way here, and the mist is so weird. Is it always like this when the Land of Illusion shows up?"

Dugu Ying glanced at the surroundings with confusion, "I don't know because the book did not have any detailed descriptions. Maybe it was supposed to be like this."

They were talking while guarding the surroundings. Although there was nothing around them, they felt even more uncomfortable than before.

Dugu Muyou waited for a while but she still didn't see Nangong Xun.

"Blood Fox, do you have any idea where your Lord would be?"

Blood Fox tilted its head and looked confused, "Peculiar. I could not feel the existence of the Lord."

"What does that mean?" Dugu Muyou observed and asked.

"He might have entered a place that could block the connection between us." Blood Fox was serious this time, "But since he has made a deal with you, he will show up. How about we wait for a while. I do not believe anything could beat him."

Dugu Muyou nodded. They waited for another half an hour and Nangong Xun still didn't show up and the connection between him and Blood Fox was not restored either. If this was the case, Dugu Muyou had no other solution but to wait. However, the mist was getting stranger.

Dugu Qi looked worried and said to Dugu Muyou, "This mist is strange. It seems that the dark light was spreading. There were only strands of them when we first came, but now darkness has almost consumed the mist. If we stay any longer, things may get more dangerous. How about we retreat out of the mist in case bad things should happen. "

"Yes, it would be safer," agreed Dugu Xiuping.

Dugu Muyou also agreed that it was a good idea so she nodded. Just as they were about to retreat, the dark mist boiled and surrounded Dugu Muyou and the others.

If the dark mist was a sleeping monster that made them uncomfortable but was still harmless, then it was now woken by them and ready to prey on them.

Sensing the danger, they all shielded up with their spiritual qi.

The dark mist blocked their way out but made no further move. Dugu Muyou tried to confront the mist by waving the three-color ribbon, which was formed by spiritual qi. She gave a mighty wave of the ribbon and it straightened and hardened like a sword. The edges of the ribbon were now as sharp as the blade. The dark mists that touched it had vanished and there was space cut open by the ribbon!

"Rush out!" yelled Dugu Muyou after she found out that her attacks had worked.

They all activated their spiritual qi to attack the mist in the moves they were familiar with. For a while, it would seem that all colors of spiritual qi have dispersed the dark mist.

Dugu Muyou rushed at the front of the team, waving the three-color ribbon. The dark mist that touched the ribbon was immediately dispersed and therefore made a path for people to go through.

"Quick! The mist behind us is getting thicker and thicker." Dugu Ziteng shouted at the back of the team.

Dugu Muyou waved the ribbon in her hand and dispersed the dark mist in front of them. Finally, they were able to see the bamboo forest and the discomfort brought about by the mist was relieved. Just as Dugu Muyou was about to jump out of the mist, something happened. She turned around immediately and found a mysterious black hole chasing behind them.

Dugu Ziteng, at the back of the team, tried to attack the black hole but only to find that his spiritual qi was all consumed by the hole. What was worse was that he could feel a powerful suction force and was swallowed by the hole. It would seem that there was nothing he could do.

"Ziteng!"

Xiaotong yelled and tried to pull him back but was swallowed by the hole too.

Trying to disperse the black hole, Dugu Muyou waved the ribbon at it. But this time things were different. She could feel that the spiritual qi inside her body was losing and she lost control of her body. What happened then was that she went black and passed out.

Dugu Muyou thought she had traveled to another world again when she woke up.

Just now they were in a mysterious dark mist but now they were in a harmonious fairyland in fine spring days. This place was filled with birds and flowers.

"The spiritual qi is so rich in here!" Dugu Deyuan took a deep breath and signed, "But how come we all appeared in here?"

Blood Fox jumped down Dugu Muyou's shoulder and then hopped on the beautiful green lawn. It stared at the surroundings with curiosity.

Dugu Muyou pondered for a while and said, "Maybe this is the Land of Illusion and the dark mist is the entrance. Are you all fine?"

The rest of them nodded to show that they were all fine.

"We would advance very fast if we cultivate in here." Xiaotong squinted his eyes and it seemed that he was reluctant to leave.

Just as Dugu Xiuping wanted to comment on Xiaotong's words, he heard some abnormal breath sounds. Dugu Xiuping turned around and found a giant bull staring at them and the sound was exactly made by that animal. Dugu Xiuping stood stunned on the ground.

That bull-like beast was as big as four spiritual animal wagons. Its eyeball was bigger than a wooden barrel and there was silvery light glistening under its skin. It lowered its head like an angry bull and gave the ground a little tap with one back hoof. In a flash, it charged straight at them.

Its sharp giant horns were as shining as iron. It charged so fast that the air in front of its horn was split into two and began to swirl rapidly like a transparent whirlpool. Its hoofs stepped on the ground and the earth shook horribly. No one could survive from the stab of its horn.

"Why would it chase us?" Xiaotong took off running and yelled, "What did we do to it?"

"We must have disturbed it eating the grass!" Dugu Deyuan yelled while running.

Although they didn't know what kind of creature this giant bull was, its momentum intimidated them. Dugu Muyou, already at the three-color stage, felt great pressure, let alone Dugu Xiaotong and the others. The giant bull was hard to kill, and they didn't know what else was hidden in this Land of illusion, so they chose to flee instead of confronting it.

They jumped away and spread off. Although the bull was extremely fast, Dugu Muyou and the others were no worse than it. Dugu Muyou, the most powerful of all of them, floated into the air. The bull stopped when it found out that it could not catch anyone and observed them. It suddenly found Blood Fox, seemingly the smallest and weakest one in the group, and turned its head at Blood Fox and charged.

Blood Fox was frightened. Although it was once the divine animal of the Bishui Lord, it was not as mighty as before now. If it were years ago, how could Mr. Divine Fox be frightened by a bull?

"Muyou! Come and pick me up!" Blood Fox yelled while it was running from the bull.

Dugu Muyou came to Blood Fox in a flesh and grabbed it in her hand. Seeing a forest ahead of her, she flew towards it with Blood Fox in her hand. The others followed.

The bull chased them for a while. But after realizing that it could never catch them, it stopped and returned to eat its grass.

Dugu Muyou and the others rested in the forest for a short while and then they heard some terrifying hissing noise. They were stunned to the ground and then immediately spread out. The second after they escaped, there were five drops of blackberry-colored viscous liquid dropped from the sky and landed on where they stood. The plants that touched the liquid withered immediately.

Dugu Muyou stared in the direction where the liquids were from with astonishment. There lay five chubby white bugs hissing on the ground. They came straight at them in a serpentine fashion and each one of them was as big as an adult. Dugu Muyou saw that they opened their mouth and there was blackberry-colored liquid forming in their mouth. It would seem that they were ready to attack.

Dugu Muyou looked serious and the rest of them fled away very soon. They had met countless times of attack after two hours of staying in the Land of Illusion. No matter where they went, some mighty spiritual animals were attacking them. Worst of all, the spiritual animals were far more powerful than them.

The entire team was standing on a huge rock, breathing heavily. They must rest! After all these time running and avoiding the attack of spiritual animals.

"We cannot keep up like this." Dugu Ying said, breathlessly. He was tired and could not even move his fingers, "I have heard that any descendants of the Dugu family must enter the Land of Illusion under the supervision of a senior. We are not strong enough to survive in here! I think we should better leave."

"But there is no way out."

They were swallowed by the dark mist. There was no exit or entrance near that lawn and after all these times of escaping from the mighty spiritual animals, they were now completely lost.

With the support of Yuehua Diamond, Dugu Muyou looked sullen but still in good status. But the others were relatively less good. Looking around, except for Dugu Ziteng, everyone else was exhausted. Without the support of Nangong Xun, they were less likely to survive in the Land of Illusion.

"What should we do?" said Xiaotong.

All of them looked towards Dugu Muyou. They were waiting for an order.
