Chapter 696 Arrival at the Nightshade Clan's Territory
The storm on the sea was very strong. As Jiuxiao rushed towards the eye of the storm, Ye Qing'an couldn't help but raise her hand to shield her eyes. Once inside the eye of the storm, she could hardly see anything at all.
Soon, however, tiny specks of light appeared before their eyes.
Ye Qing'an raised her hand that was covering her eyes and looked ahead.
Just moments ago, outside the illusion, it was still daytime, but once we passed through it, it was as if it had suddenly turned into night, with everything pitch black except for a few faint lights.
It looks like a light.
Ye Qing'an raised her head and looked up at the sky.
"It's not that it's dark, it's the trees."
Yi Moxu's voice rang out, and Ye Qing'an nodded gently; she had noticed it too.
It wasn't dark; it was just obscured by the branches of the trees.
These trees were ones that Ye Qing'an couldn't name, and she didn't know how many years they had been growing; they were very tall.
But looking down, all you can see are bare trunks and branches; not a single leaf is in sight.
But at the very top, the branches spread out, their leaves lush, like a large umbrella spread out.
Many vines still hung on the branches, connecting all the trees together. The branches and leaves of the vines intertwined, making the branches and leaves of the trees even denser and more impenetrable.
It blocked out the sky and the sun, allowing not a single ray of light to penetrate.
At first glance, it looks like it's in the dark.
Ye Qing'an squinted and looked around: "This place seems to be a little different from the illusion Liu Enze created before."
"It's possible that Liu Enze made some changes in the illusion. It's also possible that the island is larger than we imagined, and what we saw in the illusion was just the tip of the iceberg."
"Of course, there is another possibility: that the place we are entering now is just an illusion woven for us by the Nightshade Clan."
Ye Qing'an nodded, her expression unchanged, and gently patted Jiu Xiao: "Go, find water."
Jiuxiao responded, transformed back into its original form, and vanished without a trace in an instant.
Ye Qing'an followed Yi Moxu. Ye Qing'an raised her hand and formed a ball of spiritual energy in the void. The ball of spiritual energy glowed and illuminated the area in front of them.
Before me was a bluestone path that stretched into the distance, its destination unknown.
Ye Qing'an turned to look at Yi Moxu: "Are you going?"
"Let's go." Yi Moxu replied, raising his hand. Suddenly, countless tiny, dandelion-like fluffy balls appeared in his hand, and then, like dandelions, they scattered in all directions.
Ye Qing'an thought for a moment, then raised her hand and formed a barrier to ensure that she was not affected by the surrounding illusions and could still use her spiritual power.
Ye Qing'an faintly heard the cawing of crows, raised her eyebrows slightly, and only glanced at Yi Moxu.
Although it was only a glance, the two of them saw something unspoken in each other's eyes.
For now, we will not contact the Water Kirin and the Ghost Shadow. If this is an illusion, their every move within it will likely not escape the eyes of the illusion weaver.
It's best not to expose the Water Kirin and Ghost Shadow; being cautious is always a good thing.
Yi Moxu reached out her hand to Ye Qing'an.
Ye Qing'an's gaze lingered on Yi Moxu's hand for a moment before she let go of her own hand.
"You mentioned before that you fell into the illusions of the Nightshade Clan several times. How did you escape those illusions?"
Ye Qing'an's lips curled into a smile: "Kill."
"Kill everyone you see in the illusion, the Night Demons, even the birds and fish, everything that has a name, and you'll be able to get out."
Yi Moxu nodded: "Very good. Anyway, the Night Demon Clan is ambitious and has been plotting for hundreds of years. They have only caused these troubles in the last few decades. If they are left alive, they will become a disaster sooner or later. It is better to kill them all."
"Hmm." Ye Qing'an smiled and said, "Your Excellency is absolutely right. Let's do it that way."
The two hit it off immediately and then suddenly leaped up. Ye Qing'an pulled out a whip and swung it quickly in his hand. Then, the whip suddenly grew longer and lashed out at the branches, leaves and vines above their heads.
Suddenly, a hole appeared between the leaves and vines, and light shone down.
Ye Qing'an and Yi Moxu leaped up together and stood atop the tree.
Once you come out of there, the view before you is suddenly open and bright.
Ye Qing'an could see clearly that the place in front of him was indeed an island. Because of the trees and branches, the entire island was surrounded by vines and branches, like a green sphere.
Outside was the sea, the water was very blue, the sky was also very blue, and the weather was sunny and calm, with no trace of the storm they had seen earlier.
Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes, her brows furrowing slightly involuntarily.
If it were just an island like this, and these branches and vines were so easy to deal with, she could easily destroy them all with her spiritual power.
If we destroy all these branches and vines, then everything and everything on this island will be within our view.
But is it really that simple?
If it were that simple, then the Night Demon Clan wouldn't have been able to stay here so silently for so many years, right?
Ye Qing'an pursed her lips, but regardless of whether it would succeed or not, it was worth a try.
As Ye Qing'an pondered this, she quickly gathered a ball of spiritual energy in her hand.
Upon seeing Ye Qing'an's actions, Yi Moxu knew what Ye Qing'an wanted to do. Immediately, a dragon's roar rang out; it was Yi Moxu's fire dragon.
A massive blizzard swept in, freezing the snow and ice together in the storm, leaving a trail of destructive force in its wake.
The fire dragon was also swept into the blizzard, but the fire did not go out. Instead, it burned brighter and brighter with the help of the storm.
A blizzard took shape and slowly moved into the distance, sweeping many vines into the storm, their branches and leaves swaying endlessly in the tempest.
More and more vines were getting entangled in the blizzard, and Ye Qing'an frowned, vaguely sensing that something was wrong.
not good.
The moment the thought crossed Ye Qing'an's mind, she saw the vines, as if they had their own consciousness, swaying in the storm before rapidly sweeping towards them.
Ye Qing'an's eyes widened, and she and Yi Moxu quickly dodged away.
“These vines…”
Yi Moxu pursed his lips: "It's not an ordinary vine."
"If they didn't become spirits on their own, then they are being controlled by humans."
As soon as Yi Moxu finished speaking, he saw the vines suddenly break up the blizzard, and then stretch out their branches and leaves, quickly sweeping towards Ye Qing'an.
