105: Chapter 105 Accidentally Entering the Thousand Illusions Secret Realm

The Fire Flame Python twisted its body, and a crimson light flared brightly.

As the light faded, the giant python was no longer there.

In its place appeared a middle-aged man wearing a crimson robe, with a sinister expression and vertical slit pupils.

The Fire Flame Python had transformed into human form!

After all, in its Yao Beast form, its massive size made it inconvenient to move.

After transforming into a human, its body was smaller, which was advantageous for traveling.

The middle-aged man snorted coldly, his figure turning into a scorching red light, and he chased after the locked-on direction at a speed far faster than before!

Nearly a hundred miles away, Lu Jiajing stumbled out from the silver light of a teleportation along with Ye Xiaoyao.

Her face was slightly pale; using high-grade Talismans consecutively and pushing her escape technique to the limit had consumed a significant amount of her energy.

Not daring to stop, she immediately took two high-grade Speed Talismans from her Storage Pouch and slapped them onto her body.

Channeling all her spiritual power, she carried Ye Xiaoyao and flew rapidly toward a deep, secluded-looking valley ahead.

Ye Xiaoyao was still in a semi-conscious state, feeling only that his body was light and airy.

He was leaning against an exceptionally soft and voluptuous bosom that carried a sweet fragrance, with the sound of whistling wind in his ears.

While flying with all her might, Lu Jiajing looked down at Ye Xiaoyao's handsome face in her arms, his eyes tightly closed and brows slightly furrowed.

She sighed softly, her tone filled with lingering fear and a hint of playful reproach:

"Young Gentleman, oh Young Gentleman... tell me... why did you have to go and pick that Spiritual Plant guarded by a Rank 4 Yao Beast?

Do you know how dangerous that was?

If I hadn't happened to be following you... your little life would have ended right there today..."

She naturally had selfish motives for saving Ye Xiaoyao.

The essence of pure yang from his Pure Yang Sacred Body was crucial for her Nascent Soul Formation.

However, at that critical moment, she had rushed out almost instinctively.

Thinking about it now, she still felt a lingering fear.

Facing a Nascent Soul Stage Yao Beast, even one that had just broken through, she had absolutely no chance of winning and could only rely on surprise and precious life-saving Talismans to escape.

While flying, her powerful Divine Sense keenly sensed that the scorching and terrifying aura behind her was rapidly approaching!

"Like a persistent ghost!"

Lu Jiajing's pretty face turned cold, and she bit her lip, once again desperately channeling her spiritual power, increasing her speed by another notch.

The valley ahead was in sight; on one side was a steep cliff, and on the other was an ancient forest so dense it was almost eerie.

Right in the middle of that dense forest, there seemed to be a naturally formed narrow crevice, only wide enough for one person to pass through, and it was dark and deep inside.

Lu Jiajing's Divine Sense swept over, and there seemed to be no Yao Beast aura in the dense forest.

Without time to think, she carried Ye Xiaoyao and shot straight into it like a yellow bolt of lightning.

Just as they charged into that crevice—a massive and irresistible suction force suddenly came from it!

"What?!"

Lu Jiajing exclaimed, feeling the world spinning; the scene before her eyes changed instantly, as if passing through an invisible water membrane.

The next moment, her feet touched the ground.

The surroundings were no longer the valley and dense forest, but a strange, hazy-lit world.

Beneath her feet was soft, shimmering, strange soil, and in the distance were low hills.

The air was filled with pure and rich Spiritual Qi, mixed with a hint of an ancient and vicissitudinous aura.

"Is this... a Secret Realm?"

Lu Jiajing understood in an instant.

They had been randomly sucked into a Secret Realm space!

She hurriedly checked herself and Ye Xiaoyao; apart from a huge consumption of spiritual power, there were no other injuries, so she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

At the same time, she also sensed that when she and Ye Xiaoyao entered the Secret Realm, they seemed to have been guided by some rule.

They were currently in an independent Lesser Grotto-Heaven, where her Divine Sense could not reach very far, and she could no longer feel the aura from the outside world.

About a quarter of an hour later, outside the crevice in the dense forest, a crimson figure flashed, and the Fire Flame Python, in human form, appeared there.

It keenly sensed that the auras of those two Human Race Cultivators had stopped abruptly here.

"Hmph, hiding in the Thousand Illusions Secret Realm, are they?"

The Fire Flame Python's eyes were cold.

Having lived for hundreds to thousands of years, it naturally had some understanding of the well-known Secret Realms in the inner circle of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range.

The entrance to this Thousand Illusions Secret Realm was elusive, and the interior was composed of countless independent yet potentially interconnected Lesser Grotto-Heavens, which was quite strange.

"Perfect. Since I have just transformed, I will go in and take a look; perhaps I can find some spiritual items that will help stabilize my Realm."

A flash of murderous intent appeared in its eyes.

"If I am lucky and run into those two ignorant juniors inside... I will kill them both!"

It no longer hesitated, its figure moved, and it too plunged into the crevice and disappeared.

Several more hours passed.

Two graceful figures, one black and one white, landed one after another near the entrance of this Secret Realm, looking slightly disheveled.

They were precisely Ji Chanxi and the White-robed Female Sword Immortal Pei Yuhan, who had been following the trail based on their sensing.

Ji Chanxi furrowed her beautiful brows, constantly sensing Ye Xiaoyao's position, and finally pointed to this area: "His aura... it suddenly disappeared here; it's very blurry."

Pei Yuhan scanned the surroundings, spreading out her Divine Sense, but found nothing unusual.

Her tone remained as cold and impatient as ever: "Are you sure?"

"Of course I'm sure!" Ji Chanxi retorted unhappily, feeling confused herself.

Pei Yuhan said nothing more, searching carefully, and finally her gaze landed on that inconspicuous crevice in the middle of the dense forest.

She flew closer and tried to probe with her Divine Sense, but found it was like a clay ox entering the sea, blocked by an invisible barrier.

"This... seems to be a Secret Realm entrance," she mused.

Ji Chanxi also flew over, reached the same conclusion after trying, and her heart sank abruptly.

A Secret Realm often meant Opportunity, but it was also accompanied by unknown dangers.

"Husband... did he go in?"

Worry instantly overwhelmed all other emotions.

She bit her red lips, looked at the deep, dark entrance, and said to herself: "I must go in."

Pei Yuhan looked at the entrance, hesitating.

She naturally knew that Secret Realms were dangerous.

But... that Rake who had taken her virginity might be inside.

She had been chasing for so long; should she just give up now?

And this black-dressed Yin Yang Sect Saintess was also going in...

Various complex emotions were intertwined.

Finally, she took a deep breath and said indifferently: "I will go too."

Ji Chanxi heard this and immediately looked at her vigilantly, her tone displeased: "What are you going in for? Do you still want to kill my husband?"

When Ji Chanxi initially tacitly allowed Pei Yuhan to join in the search for Ye Xiaoyao, she still harbored annoyance toward him.

But now that she speculated Ye Xiaoyao might have entered the Secret Realm, that anger born from his flirting with other female cultivators had long since dissipated, and she suddenly became clear-headed.

The white-robed woman before her was actually here to take Ye Xiaoyao's life.

Therefore, when the other party also expressed the desire to enter the Secret Realm, Ji Chanxi said those words, intending to warn her not to pester him anymore, and certainly not to hunt down Ye Xiaoyao.

Pei Yuhan glanced at her, a curve at the corner of her mouth that was hard to tell if it was self-deprecating or stubborn: "Kill him? Now... that's not necessarily the case.

Besides, this Secret Realm isn't yours; if you can enter, why can't I?

I just... want to find him and ask him clearly."

Ji Chanxi glared at her with her beautiful eyes, but being concerned about Ye Xiaoyao's safety, she did not want to delay any longer, leaving behind one sentence: "Suit yourself! But you are not allowed to attack him again!"

After saying this, her figure flashed, and she charged into the crevice.

Pei Yuhan watched her back, hummed softly, and without hesitation, followed her in.

The same feeling of the world spinning came, their eyes blurred, and they were sucked into the Secret Realm.

And just as the rules of the Thousand Illusions Secret Realm dictated, since they entered at the same time, they were assigned to the same independent Lesser Grotto-Heaven.

Thus, the three groups—Ye Xiaoyao and Lu Jiajing, the Fire Flame Python, and Ji Chanxi and Pei Yuhan—successively stepped into the Thousand Illusions Secret Realm, each randomly teleported into one of the hundreds of Lesser Grotto-Heavens inside the Secret Realm that were isolated from each other but potentially connected through specific methods.
