Ge Hongjie was stunned for a moment, but his expression immediately became determined. He reached out to take out the Awakening Incense, but it was empty. Not only was there no awakening incense, but even the long sword in his hand had disappeared.

Ge Hongjie was a little confused. He looked around and saw that he was starving. His clothes were ragged, and his stomach was in pain. He had lost all his strength and wanted to lie on the ground and wait for death.

“Brother Ge, what should I do? I can’t live anymore. I don’t want to die!” Zhang Fangqiong’s voice sounded in Ge Hongjie’s ears. Ge Hongjie turned his head and saw that Zhang Fangqiong had already become so thin from hunger.

“This is fake, fake, break!”

Ge Hongjie’s confused eyes suddenly turned sharp. With a loud shout, his core soul energy surged, and everything in front of him shattered.

It was still the same courtyard, but the surroundings had become dark as if there was a black curtain covering the courtyard. A faint voice echoed in his ears, but when he listened carefully, there was nothing.

“Senior Brother Ge, what’s wrong?” Mu Langtao looked at Ge Hongjie in confusion.

“I’m fine. I was confused by the evil just now, so…”

“Bang!”

Ge Hongjie suddenly slapped Mu Langtao’s shoulder and sent him flying. Mu Langtao laughed out loud while he was still in the air, his face full of madness.

Ge Hongjie frowned and clutched his abdomen, which was badly mutilated. Mu Langtao had stabbed him in the abdomen.

“Senior Brother Ge, what’s wrong?” Zhang Fangqiong looked at Ge Hongjie in confusion. Ge Hongjie couldn’t help but take a step back. His eyes were sometimes clear and sometimes confused.

Zhang Fangqiong looked around warily. Just now, Ge Hongjie and the other two had disappeared. At this moment, she was the only one left in the courtyard.

“Senior Sister Zhang, Senior Sister Zhang, where are you?” Mu Langtao’s voice sounded, but he was nowhere to be seen. It was as if he had come from a very distant place.

Zhang Fangqiong hesitated for a moment and didn’t move. This strange thing came too suddenly, so no one could react. Moreover, it was extremely powerful. Even she could not see through the surrounding illusion.

“Senior Sister Zhang, is that you?”

Chen Fei’s voice suddenly sounded in Zhang Fangqiong’s ear. Zhang Fangqiong was shocked and moved her feet. She held her sword and looked at Chen Fei with vigilance in her eyes.

“Senior Sister Zhang, it’s me.” Chen Fei held an awakening incense in his hand and looked around vigilantly.

“Junior Brother Chen, when we first met two years ago, what was the first thing we said?” Zhang Fangqiong looked at Chen Fei and said in a serious voice.

“Two years ago? Senior Sister Zhang, didn’t we just meet a few days ago?” Chen Fei’s expression was a little puzzled.

“That’s right. Come over.”

Zhang Fangqiong heaved a sigh of relief and asked Chen Fei to come over. Chen Fei nodded and carefully moved to Zhang Fangqiong’s side, his eyes constantly looking around.

“Senior Sister Zhang, what should we do now?” Chen Fei asked in a low voice.

“This is very strange. If senior brother Ge and the others haven’t found us yet, we can only take the risk and light the red candle,” Zhang Fangqiong replied.

It was very dangerous to light a red candle in the Strange Wind Realm, but if it was just a flash, it was barely acceptable. Otherwise, if he continued to wait like this, the outcome would be even worse.

“Senior Sister Zhang, do you have any red candles on you?”

Chen Fei’s hand gently touched Zhang Fangqiong’s body and actually began to grope around.

Zhang Fangqiong was startled, and her face turned red. She wanted to push Chen Fei away, but her body actually began to become weak, and her body involuntarily wanted to fall toward Chen Fei.

“No!

Zhang Fangqiong opened her eyes and slapped Chen Fei’s head. However, she realized that Chen Fei was already naked and was looking at her affectionately.

Zhang Fangqiong’s palm froze for a moment. A wave of lust filled her mind without any reason.

“Die!

Zhang Fangqiong roared angrily. Her figure flashed, and she slammed a palm on Chen Fei’s forehead. The next moment, the surroundings shattered. Zhang Fangqiong was still standing alone in the courtyard. There was nothing around her.

“Senior Sister Zhang, Senior Sister Zhang, is that you?” Chen Fei’s voice was faintly heard. In the fog, Chen Fei held an awakening incense and slowly walked over.

Zhang Fangqiong gripped the long sword in her hand tightly. Her eyes were filled with confusion. Was it real or fake this time?

As darkness descended, Chen Fei heard Ge Hongjie’s shout and took two steps back. His expression changed slightly. In Chen Fei’s perception, the three people behind him had long disappeared, but Ge Hongjie and the other two were still there.

“Junior Brother Chen, come here quickly!”

Ge Hongjie said in a low voice, his expression somewhat anxious.

“Junior Brother Chen, as we said before, each of us will guard one direction.” Zhang Fangqiong urged.

Chen Fei didn’t say anything. He quickly circulated the Tranquil Origin Technique. The originally smooth scene around him suddenly paused slightly and became unreal.

“As expected!”

The jade pendant in Chen Fei’s bosom trembled slightly, and the speed at which the Tranquil Origin Technique was circulating increased abruptly. The surrounding illusion shattered.

Looking around again, Chen Fei had already appeared in the house in the courtyard. At this moment, he was walking toward the corner of the wall without feeling anything. There was a sword placed horizontally there. If he continued walking like this, the sword would directly stab into Chen Fei’s eyes.

Chen Fei took out the awakening incense and lit it up. Just as he was about to look for the others, his footsteps stopped.

“No, this is still an illusion!”

With the support of the jade pendant, the surrounding environment gave Chen Fei a feeling of unreality. This fake reality was very subtle. If it was just the Tranquil Origin Technique, it was likely that he would not be able to find any clues.

Chen Fei held the long sword in his hand, and the mental strength in his mind suddenly surged. In the next moment, he stabbed out with the long sword.

It was as if the jade pendant had been inserted into a piece of sluggish leather. The jade pendant shone brightly. In an instant, Chen Fei seemed to have broken through a wall. The surroundings shattered, and Chen Fei appeared in the courtyard.

Chen Fei looked around warily, but he still didn’t see Ge Hongjie and the other two.

“Kill them!

A muffled shout sounded. Chen Fei’s heart skipped a beat. His figure flashed, and he rushed into the house. He found Mu Langtao crazily wielding the sword in his hand. His expression was a little crazy. His ears and eyes were covered in blood.

Chen Fei quickly took out the awakening incense, and a faint fragrance spread out. Mu Langtao’s expression gradually became calm. He opened his eyes and looked around in confusion. When he saw Chen Fei, he raised his sword, his face full of distrust.

“Are you human or evil!” Mu Langtao shouted in a low voice.

Chen Fei raised the awakening incense in his hand, but Mu Langtao was still vigilant and didn’t believe Chen Fei.

Chen Fei was speechless. He must have encountered a lot of things in the illusion just now. However, thinking about this two-layered illusion, if he did not break through the second layer in time, the illusion would continue to stack. Ordinary people really could not withstand it.

Chen Fei didn’t force Mu Langtao. When he heard the commotion outside, his body flashed and broke through the wall of the house. He saw Zhang Fangqiong and Ge Hongjie fighting fiercely inside the house.

Sword light flashed, and the house was already in a mess.

Chen Fei didn’t dare to delay. He threw the awakening incense out and stuck it between the two of them.

The fragrance spread very quickly. In just a moment, the two of them slowly stopped and opened their eyes.

Looking around, he noticed that Chen Fei and the others were all watching warily.

“Two layers of illusion. Senior Brother Ge, Senior Sister Zhang, you can take out your awakening incense and light it up,” Chen Fei whispered.

“No need.”

Ge Hongjie shook his head. After exiting the illusion, he could still tell the difference between the made-up world and the real world with the help of his core soul energy. It was only in the illusion that one would be confused.

However, it had to be said that this strange beast was indeed very powerful. If not for Chen Fei, they would have almost been wiped out.

Zhang Fangqiong glanced at Chen Fei and seemed to have thought of something. Her face suddenly turned red, and she quickly lowered her head.

“Senior Sister Zhang, are you alright?” Mu Langtao saw the look on Zhang Qiong’s face and asked with concern.

“Get lost!” Zhang Fangqiong shouted at Mu Langtao angrily.

“Senior Sister Zhang, the me you saw in the illusion isn’t the real me.” Mu Langtao was stunned and quickly defended himself.

Zhang Fangqiong rolled her eyes and didn’t want to bother with this silly boy.

“Boom!

With a loud bang, the four of them looked at each other and rushed out. They found that there were still people fighting under the black curtain. Looking closely, it was Lu Haiyan and the others.

However, compared to Ge Hongjie and the others who were slightly injured, Lu Haiyan’s team was almost all lying in a pool of blood. Only Lu Haiyan was still fighting with another person.

“Why are they here?” Mu Langtao was puzzled.

“What else could it be? It’s just that he’s following us. His tracking ability is quite strong.”

Zhang Fangqiong snorted coldly. Anyone who was followed like this would probably feel unhappy. However, they didn’t expect that Lu Haiyan and the others would be dragged into the illusion.

“I still have to thank them for sharing the power of evil.”

“That evil should have possessed someone now.” Ge Hongjie shook his head.”

“What about now?” Mu Langtao asked.

“Force that evil out. Otherwise, it will be even more troublesome.”

Ge Hongjie said, lit a stick of incense, and threw it to the side of Lu Haiyan.

Lu Haiyan and the other man paused, and a black shadow suddenly appeared above Lu Haiyan’s head. His scarlet eyes looked around, and they were filled with coldness.

Those who looked into his eyes felt that they were hearing things. At the same time, illusions began to appear in front of their eyes. The entire world began to become unreal.

“Whoosh!

An arrow pierced into the evil shadow’s head and pulled it out of Lu Haiyan’s body.

Lu Haiyan’s body shivered, and he collapsed to the ground. His energy and blood were both damaged, and his organs were injured.

“Hiss!

The evil howled crazily, but what welcomed it was countless arrows that stabbed it into the ground one by one.

Compared to the terror of being dragged into the illusion just now, this evil’s main body was unusually weak, and it did not have the speed of teleportation that could not be dodged just now.

Chen Fei suspected that the evil creatures did not rely on their own speed to move in this Strange Wind Realm. Instead, they jumped between the various nodes of the Strange Wind Realm, which was why even those in the Visceral Tempering Realm could not escape.

Ge Hongjie and the other two arrived in front of the shadow in a flash. Three blades stabbed into the shadow’s body, and its blood and energy were like fire. The shadow trembled and turned into smoke before disappearing..
