Xie Ziyou hadn’t thought that his sudden move would have such a miraculous effect.

The effect was no less than shouting “Teacher is here” in the ear of a student who was dozing off in class, or saying “Boss is behind you” to a worker who was sneaking around at work. Xie Ziyou saw Xie Heng’s body tremble and his figure become blurry. It was as if he was about to leave the world of consciousness and wake up in reality. He couldn’t help but grind his teeth.

This kid was peeping in the dark.

Knowing the truth but still committing the crime, he had a trick in his heart!

At the end of the long corridor, seeing that the two of them were about to leave, the phantom didn’t give up and said again, “Thank you … …”

“Thank you Ziyou for dragging you into the blacklist!” Xie Ziyou snatched the conversation and shouted in Xie Heng’s ear, “Xie Ziyou has decided to eat the braised pork ribs. He wants to steam and cook the sword ribs!”

Xie Heng’s eyelashes trembled and panic appeared in his empty eyes.

The night wind was slightly cold and brushed past the youth’s face, awakening him a little. Xie Heng subconsciously murmured, “You You, I didn’t do it on purpose. Listen to my explanation … …”

The phantom spoke again, “He — —”

Xie Ziyou immediately interrupted, “He won’t listen, he won’t listen, he won’t listen! Xie Ziyou flew into a rage, Xie Ziyou is righteous, you still don’t wake up? If you don’t wake up, your wife … … Pei, your husband is gone! ”

The phantom, “… …”

Xie Ziyou felt that he had finally discovered the key to breaking the dream.

What was the phantom, what was the most frightening thing, no matter how many tricks he used, no matter how many words he used, wasn’t it still a competition of who had the loudest voice?

He had spent a hundred years with Guan Heng and his understanding of his lover’s character far surpassed the phantom. At this moment, with just a few words, he had poked at Xie Heng’s sore spot and was about to wake him up from the shock.

The phantom finally broke the arrogant expression that he had always maintained. The seven colored light was like clusters of burning fire, darting up his clothes and face. His delicate facial features were like ink that had been soaked in water, the outline of his face glowed with bright colors.

“Do you really think you can leave?” He said harshly, “Stay!”

Just as he finished speaking, several thin ribbons swept through the air. Under the candlelight, they were dazzling like silk.

On the ribbons, there were beautiful ripples, layers upon layers of ripples. Some glided in the air, while some slithered along the ground. Wherever they passed, the vermilion beams became blurry, the bluestone melted, the white curtains turned into drifting snow.

The white candles wept and were extinguished one after another.

The dream was collapsing.

That phantom wanted to drag them down with it!

The rainbow light closed in, and in the blink of an eye, it was within reach. Xie Ziyou’s heart instantly panicked. He turned his head to glance at Xie Heng’s jade-like face and saw that the person’s expression was hazy, as if he was about to wake up.

Xie Ziyou grabbed the back of the youth’s clothes, his toes tapped repeatedly and he retreated in a flash.

The ribbons were as fast as lightning and caught up to the two’s footsteps in an instant. The tip of the ribbons rose high like a viper and pounced — — —

“Peng!”

An ear-piercing sound of friction exploded in his ears. The ribbons collided with the invisible barrier, and their forward momentum was instantly halted.

“Don’t be afraid, You You,” the system said loudly in his mind, “It can drag on for a while, quickly take the protagonist away.”

Xie Ziyou was pleasantly surprised: “Thank you, you’re the most reliable!”

“Don’t be in a hurry to thank me, this was exchanged with your points. One point per second is used, so hurry up.”

Xie Ziyou’s face suddenly darkened. He staggered and almost tripped over the bluestone.

The sound of the ribbons twitching behind him became louder and louder, and the edge of the dream gradually faded.

The thick mist merged with the thick mist, and from the depths of the white light, seven colored vines silently extended out. White flowers bloomed from the two indigo leaves, white smoke was dense, and the space was filled with a sweet fragrance.

However, the world of the dream was expanding.

In a quick glance, Xie Ziyou saw towering mountains with beautiful peaks in the distance. A few meters away, it was as if they had been cut by a blade, forcefully turning into a vast and deep sea. It was vast and boundless, and under the starry sky, there were pale white waves.

The yellow villages on the sea were reflected, and smoke was rising in spirals. Under the waves, there was a scarlet color of blood, and there were tens of thousands of corpses piled up high, forming a small hill. Their purple skin was swollen from the seawater, and their faces were swollen and hard to recognize.

Xie Ziyou suddenly understood.

That was the dream of others.

In order to trap them, the nameless flower had transferred the energy of other dream realms, and even the entire mystic realm. The force that was chasing after them had become stronger than ever, but it also meant that if they could break it in one fell swoop, they could save everyone at the same time.

Let’s fight!

Xie Ziyou gritted his teeth and ran, his mind working rapidly.

What was the point of breaking the trap? These ribbons, this river …

Should I steam it dry?

No, no. Xie Ziyou’s fingertips gripped his sleeves tightly, thinking that this was too difficult. The River Styx had many branches, and its source was naturally endless. With his limited points, if he wanted to steam the river dry, it would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, overestimating himself.

But to deal with a river, what else could he do?

Stop the flow?

Xie Ziyou frowned and glanced behind him. From the corner of his eyes, he saw the little white flowers blooming on the rainbow-colored vines, and he was stunned.

No, that’s not right.

It’s not the river’s problem, it’s those little flowers!

Even though they had transformed into a rainbow-colored luster, based on what the System said, it could be seen that it was only those nameless white flowers that had lured everyone into the illusion.

Thinking about it carefully, they had fallen asleep because they had smelled the sweet fragrance.

What the flowers were most afraid of was naturally fire.

Conjuring an incantation to summon fire was Pei Yunyin’s ability. Xie Ziyou was so focused on his swordsmanship that he had not added any Magic Skill Points.

But the current him was different from a few hours ago. The System returned, and the exchange list was unlocked. As long as he had enough points, he could even exchange for Samadhi True Fire from the Master God!

“System,” Xie Ziyou yelled loudly, “Pour oil, ignite!”

“Roger that!” the System said cheerfully.

In the next moment, a raging inferno rose from the ground, covering the sky and the earth as it swept forth.

The red tongue leaped about in a dazzling light, like a giant phoenix spreading its wings and raising its neck to let out a clear cry. Its two upside-down wings were covered with heavenly flames and meteors, and wherever it passed by, a sea of fire flowed.

The unbridled ribbons and vines finally showed signs of retreating. The tongues of flame crackled, rolling up the white flowers and licking the tender white petals. Wisps of black smoke were emitted, and the smell of burnt flesh was pungent, dispersing the sweet fragrance in the air.

Light and shadow flashed, and a scarlet glow covered the sky. Xie Ziyou could vaguely hear someone cursing anxiously or crying out in pain. The vines twisted into a strange shape, and a gray mist surged out from within, transforming into ferocious faces.

All of them were engulfed by the raging flames and turned into ashes.

Sunlight shone down from the horizon, breaking through the mist and awakening the gloomy and gloomy Dream World.

Xie Ziyou only felt his body lighten, and when he regained his senses, he was once again standing on the flourishing grassland. Only the pungent smell of burnt flesh wafted through the air — the flames burned through the Dream World and connected with reality, burning the white flowers on the ground to ashes. However, they still refused to give up, and quietly spread in their direction.

The flames produced by the Master God, which could cause the nameless flowers to retreat in panic, were naturally extraordinary.

They could ignite the branches of the flowers, burn the grass, burn the strange trees, and even tear apart space.

Black smoke rose, and the space showed signs of instability. The wind howled like weeping, and black and white cracks appeared out of thin air, revealing an abyss-like pitch-black and terrifying void. The ground beneath their feet was undulating and collapsing, as if they were about to fall.

The System shouted at Xie Ziyou, “Run!”

Xie Ziyou’s eyes were red from the smoke. He carried Xie Heng on his back and dashed all the way. He had to think of a way to escape, and at this point, he had already used up all his profound energy and was exhausted.

The System was helpless and let out a long sigh.

A fluorescent light appeared beside Xie Ziyou, as if it had focused all the sunlight in the entire space into a single point. The light spread out, and the halo swayed. It was so sharp that it was difficult to look directly at it.

Then, a tiny crack appeared in the center of the light, and it slowly expanded, revealing a void that was like chaos. It was shrouded in thick fog, and it was blurry.

Xie Ziyou’s eyes flashed with pleasant surprise, but the System spoke first, “Space passage, one point, one second to open.”

Xie Ziyou, “…”

He gritted his teeth angrily, and chewed up the “thank you” and swallowed it.

The light was resplendent, the color of the sunlight that symbolized hope. However, Xie Ziyou could not be happy. The brighter the light, the more painful his heart became. He could almost see the points that he had painstakingly accumulated converging into a small river, flowing away, never to return.

Xie Heng still did not wake up.

Xie Ziyou used all his strength to carry the youth’s waist, and pushed him into the crack.

The space passage could send Xie Heng to a certain location within a radius of ten kilometers. Although it was randomly distributed, it could ensure that he landed safely and would not be taken away while unconscious.

After sending Xie Heng off, Xie Ziyou wanted to step into the passage together, but his toes stepped on the dust and sand. He glanced at the group of people who had fainted on the ground, and his footsteps suddenly stopped.

Every second was worth points.

He did not have that many points, and the time was short. The space passage was in danger.

Xie Ziyou fiercely licked his back teeth, turned around, and charged towards the group of people on the grass.

The two youths following Xie Heng were saved — — Xie Ziyou did not know who these two people were, but perhaps one of them was his brother-in-law or brother-in-law. As a family, they could not afford to be at odds with each other because of this matter.

Zhao Ruhao … … Sigh, save him. Xie Ziyou used all his strength to drag the youth by his shoulders, sweat dripping down his forehead. He thought to himself that this was a life after all.

Even though this life was very annoying.

Xu Wan ‘er was saved.

Xie Ziyou’s footsteps became heavier. As the flames approached, a white light flashed in front of his eyes. He could only try his best to raise his head, not letting the sweat fall into his eyes. While gritting his teeth, he thought to himself that he could not leave Xu Wan ‘er alone in the secret realm just because she was close to Xie Heng.

It seemed like he was targeting her, afraid that she would snatch Xie Heng away.

He pushed the girl into the crack. The space of the secret realm was already extremely unstable. Sinister fissures interweaved and collided, creating a terrifying whirlpool in the air.

The halo of light in front of Xie Ziyou also violently fluctuated. The halo around it dimmed, and the crack closed at a speed visible to the naked eye. The system shouted anxiously in his mind, “You You, hurry!”

Xie Ziyou closed his eyes, steeled his heart, and leaped up!

It was as if he had been sucked into a pump, or as if he had been crushed into a ball and stuffed into a washing machine. The tunnel that was on the verge of collapse was tossed around, and Xie Ziyou was shaken until his vision went black.

What was even more terrifying was that behind him, the tunnel was breaking and collapsing, turning into thousands of fragments that were sucked into the void.

“Just a few more seconds!” Xie Ziyou shouted anxiously in his mind, “Stop after I’m safely out of here. It’s only a matter of one or two seconds. Don’t save your points now!”

The system was also extremely desperate. It said helplessly, “But You You, not a single point … is left.”

Xie Ziyou, “!!!”

He was drifting in the turbulent void. The hurricane roared and roared furiously, wanting to tear him to shreds.

Xie Ziyou, on the other hand, had no time to pay attention to it. His eyes were lifeless as he said in a daze, “My points … are all gone?”

The system nodded solemnly.

Xie Ziyou felt a throbbing pain in his chest, and his vision went black.

His emotions were surging, and his qi and blood were in turmoil. The unique Primal Chaos profound energy in the void surged towards him, entering his meridians through every pore of his body, and converging on his dantian.

The sound of glass shattering resounded in Xie Ziyou’s ears. It was as if there was some kind of barrier in his body that had been pierced through with a “pop”.
