Chapter 66 Dream Sensing Forest

After a while, the pillar of fog formed by the black fog shook slightly and collapsed onto the bottom of the abyss.

The fog in the abyss began to boil like water.

Through the black fog, a muffled roar came from afar, as if it was struggling hysterically.

Before Pei Ling could listen carefully, Ouyang Xianxing grabbed his arm and shouted, “Let’s

go!”

The next moment, she grabbed Pei Ling and jumped into the abyss. Fang Ji and Xue Ying followed closely behind and jumped.

It was as if a handful of stones had been thrown into the water. A small vortex appeared in the gradually surging black fog.

A few torn pieces of talisman paper in the vortex spun with the fog and the flickering lights on the papers were soon engulfed in the black fog.

Meanwhile, in the inner sect, where the Clear River Faction was.

In the secret room, Miao Chengyang sensed something and stood up. He pushed the door open and walked out.

SO

On the table outside, a talisman was burning. A line of words quickly appeared on the originally empty paper. “Zheng Jingshan wants to obtain the Cold Marrow Fire for Pei Ling. Ouyang Xianxing is leading a team. They have entered the Gu Abyss.”

“Cold Marrow Fire?” Miao Chengyang frowned slightly and muttered to himself, “The Cold Marrow Fire that the Middle Five Factions fought over?”

Many people in the inner sect knew about the Cold Marrow Fire. It was a spiritual fire of heaven and earth that was born by chance after the cold air underground condensed to a certain extent. In the eyes of most people, its value was higher than pill refinement.

After all, alchemy required talent, but which cultivator would refuse to build a stronger foundation?

With the appearance of the Cold Marrow Fire, the inner sect fought openly and covertly. In the end, one of the branch masters from the Middle Five Factions won and gave it to his

family.

Zheng Jingshan had given up on this dispute from the start. After all, the branch did not have an alchemist, and Zheng Jingshan did not have any relatives to take care of.

Now he had offended the Middle Five Factions because of Pei Ling?

This stunned Miao Chengyang, who was bent on revenge.

After pondering for a moment, he called his subordinate over. “How’s the Upper Three Factions lately? Have you paid attention to the matter of the Cold Marrow Fire?”

The subordinate shook his head and said, “The senior brothers and sisters of the Upper Three Factions have been doing fine recently.”

Miao Chengyang asked worriedly, “Has Zheng Jingshan gone to them for help recently?”

Seeing that his subordinate was still shaking his head, he pondered for a while.

Core disciple Li is in seclusion, and the Upper Three factions are not showing any signs of interfering… In other words, is Zheng Jingshan the one who made the decision to offend the Middle Five factions by competing for the Cold Marrow Fire?

But what is he after?

Of course, it could also be a trap.

However, the possibility of this is very low because Zheng Jingshan does not know that I have someone by my side.

Miao Chengyang was hesitating when someone came to report, “Branch Head, Zheng Jingshan is here. He wants to challenge you.”

“Huh?” Miao Chengyang was stunned. His mind raced and he suddenly sneered. “Tell him that I’ve cultivated to a critical juncture. I’ll spare his life today and make him scram! When I come out of seclusion, I’ll definitely raze his small courtyard!”

With that, he instructed his subordinate, “I’ll go to the abyss to see if I can take Pei Ling’s head to pay my respects to Cheng’an. Stay here. If I don’t return in half a day, tell the Zhou family the whole story and ask them to tell core disciple Zhou.”

While Miao Chengyang was making a move, Pei Ling was struggling on the verge of death.

Cold.

It is too f*cking cold!

This was the feeling Pei Ling had after entering the black fog. He could not help but recall the first time he saw Jiao Ni and Wu Liu. At that time, black fog was also rising from the Dark Bone Phantom Boat, and the fog was gathering like a pillar… Presumably, Fairy Li was related to this abyss.

However, the black fog around the Dark Bone Phantom Boat only appeared for a short moment before it left Pei Ling and Pei Hongnian in a sorry state.

The abyss seemed to have no bottom. Pei Ling did not know how long he had been falling for. He only felt that his entire body was about to freeze. It was only when Ouyang Xianxing sensed that something was wrong and sent some spiritual energy to protect his heart that he did not lose consciousness completely.

A moment later, on the verge of death, he saw a faint fluorescent light on the waists of Ouyang Xianxing and the other two. Then a suction force came from a place not far away that seemed to be an abyss. It sucked the four of them in.

“Senior Sister.” Pei Ling got up from the ground in a daze. He saw Fang Ji looking at him with undisguised disdain. Fang Ji asked Ouyang Xianxing, “Who will be carrying this burden later? Otherwise, he will definitely not survive the Dream Sensing Forest ahead.” Ouyang Xianxing frowned. According to her original plan, it was safer to let Fang Ji, who was a medicine and poison cultivator, take Pei Ling along

But with Fang Ji’s attitude now…

Her cultivation level was the highest and she was his senior sister, so Fang Ji did not dare to disobey her orders. However, she had just beaten Fang Ji up in the ghost’s stomach. If she continued to suppress him, what if Fang Jiyang disobeyed her… After thinking for a moment, Ouyang Xianxing said, “Junior Brother Pei, you’ll follow Xue Ying later.”

Pei Ling lowered his head. “Yes.” He quickly looked around. This seemed to be a karst cave in the middle of the mountain.

There were strange rocks all around, and the ground was uneven. There were countless stalactites hanging like sharp swords above their heads. Perhaps because of the black fog, this place was very cold, and there were traces of frost on the rocks. However, there were actually some unknown small animals living here. They were very fast, and from time to time, they would leap past like ghosts.

Seeing this, Pei Ling sighed inwardly. If he had known that this trip would be so dangerous, he would not have listened to Zheng Jingshan and cultivated quickly!

At this point, he could only brace himself and cup his fists at Xue Ying. “Senior Brother Xue, please take care of me later.”

Xue Ying looked honest and quiet. He only nodded slightly.

So Ouyang Xianxing took the lead, Xue Ying covering the rear, and Fang Ji and Pei Ling stayed in the middle. The four of them walked deeper into the karst cave. With the protection of three Foundation Establishment cultivators, including Ouyang Xianxing, who was at the mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment realm, the journey was very smooth. Occasionally, there would be some hiccups that would be eliminated before Pei Ling could realize it.

After walking for a while, Ouyang Xianxing suddenly stopped and said solemnly, “The Dream Sensing Forest is ahead. Be careful!”

“Junior Brother Pei, the Dream Sensing Forest can make cultivators hallucinate and lose themselves in it.” Xue Ying, who had been silent, said softly to Pei Ling, “You must remember that no matter what you see, ignore it. You must not leave the team!”

As he spoke, he took out a wooden stick from somewhere and gestured for him to grab it. “You must hold on to this wooden stick tightly until we get out of the Dream Sensing Forest.”

Pei Ling did not need him to repeat himself. He immediately held the end of the wooden stick tightly and said solemnly, “Senior Brother, don’t worry. I won’t let go.”

Not long after, he saw countless blood-colored vines hanging from the top of the cave not far away. They were coiled like dragons and seemed to stretch endlessly, like a blood-colored waterfall. It was a spectacular sight.

However, on a closer look, those vines did not seem to be corporeal. Instead, they were like phantoms that were suffused with a hazy halo.

Pei Ling glanced quickly and felt a little dizzy. He did not dare to look again and quickly lowered his head. He was shocked. The wooden stick he was holding had become a young girl’s soft hand. He was stunned and instinctively looked up from her slender and fair palm. It was a delicate, beautiful face. It was Fairy Li!
