Chapter 651: The Sudden Appearance of a Shadow
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lin Yuerou wondered what exactly was being tested in the fifth layer.
She was completely at a loss regarding this matter. Could it be that she would be eternally trapped in this black space, constantly watching the abyss?
The more Lin Yuerou thought about it, the more panicked she became. She promptly sat down, trying to calm her heart down. By then, she had been influenced by the darkness and had even began to despair.
Darkness could easily devour people’s willpower, which was the true core behind the mythical realm’s existence!
While thinking about this, Lin Yuerou tried to calm her heart. She meditated and took a few deep breaths. She didn’t believe that she would be unable to overcome her frightened state. No matter what, she had to leave the despair behind.
But the effects of calming her heart weren’t very good because when she closed her eyes, she seemed to hear words which caused her focus to break. She couldn’t even tell whether what she heard was real or an illusion, even if it did lean toward sounding real.
“Ha ha ha ha... Lin Yuerou, you don’t need to continue laboring under a delusion. You believe that Li Yunmu has taken a fancy to you? He was only giving face to Ling Shuang by giving you the position of city lord out of pity.
“Lin Yuerou, you were formerly the lord of Heavenly Cloud City, but now you work under someone. Do you want to live like that your whole life?
“Lin Yuerou, he had only let you manage Lucky Wind City for the time being, but you think that you have truly become the city lord. Wait until Li Yunmu returns, then you will be nothing!”
Lin Yuerou’s forehead was constantly perspiring. She was constantly shaking her head in an attempt to drive out the voices from her head. But they were becoming increasingly sharper, and their words fiercer and fiercer.
Lin Yuerou covered her ears, feeling completely crippled inside. Even the energy in her body had gone berserk, injuring her.
“Pu!”
Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Lin Yuerou began to gasp for air with large mouthfuls. The mythical realm had swayed her heart, which made it truly terrifying.
The darkness could even reach the depths of her heart, thoroughly digging out all the doubts there.
“Lin Yuerou, if you want to truly become Lucky Wind City’s City Lord, you have to get rid of Li Yunmu!
“Yes! Get rid of him! Then henceforth, Lucky Wind City will be yours!
“Lin Yuerou, what are you still hesitating for? Don’t you see? Li Yunmu is in front of you, why aren’t you hurrying to draw your sword to kill him? Don’t tell me you don’t want to be Lucky Wind City’s city lord?
The voices continued to echo in Lin Yuerou’s ears, persuading her. But she remained motionless, not allowing herself to be influenced by their extreme suggestions!
While the voices continuously echoed in her ears, she noticed that the figure standing in front of her was somewhat familiar.
It was Li Yunmu!
He was hugging Ling Shuang. Instead of being cold and detached like always, she was like a dainty and delicate girl nestling against his chest.
“Lin Yuerou, if you want to want to take Li Yunmu from me, you must be dreaming! We only used you, allowing you to manage Lucky Wind City because there was no alternative. You mustn’t think that you have truly become the city lord of Lucky Wind City.”
Lin Yuerou was constantly shaking her head.
Moments later, Lin Yunmu looked at her with a slight smile. He waved at her and said, “Come here! Lin Yuerou! I willingly handed over Lucky Wind City to you, but you didn’t know about my intentions? Come here! We will manage Lucky Wind City together.”
“Lin Yuerou, do we have to settle this between us?”
An extremely familiar figure appeared in front of Li Yunmu. Although that silhouette was very vague, Lin Yuerou found it extremely familiar.
She took a deep breath and suddenly opened her eyes fiercely. Apart from darkness, there was only more darkness in her vision. But a silhouette in the distance gave her a huge fright.
“Who!” she shouted out hoarsely.
How could seeing a silhouette in the darkness not make Lin Yuerou nervous? She didn’t know whether that figure was a friend or a foe. She felt like she was in a dream and somewhat regretted entering the mythical realm. If she couldn’t clear the fifth layer, she would be trapped in it for all eternity.
No, this was what she had wanted!
She collected her courage and rushed after the human silhouette.
“You don’t need to mystify yourself here! I am not afraid of you! Who exactly are you? Show yourself to me!”
Lin Yuerou kept provoking the figure, wanting to force it to face her. She had a feeling that the person was smiling sinisterly at her.
In the darkness, she finally saw a glimmer of brightness. By relying on it, she was finally able to see the true appearance of the human figure.
It was Li Yunmu!
Lin Yuerou was faintly startled. The fifth layer’s guardian was surprisingly Li Yunmu!
It wasn’t possible!
Lin Yuerou felt that she was seeing wrong and even rubbed her eyes. She then looked at the human figure again, but she wasn’t mistaken, the person was truly Li Yunmu!
He... Shouldn’t he be in the Origin World? How could he suddenly appear in the mythical realm? Could it be have been arranged by the Illusion God? But how would he even know what Li Yunmu looked like to make him appear here?
It was impossible!
The Illusion God definitely didn’t possess that sort of strength. She couldn’t imagine any way in which he might have turned Li Yunmu into a servant of the mythical realm.
“This is certainly an imitation! Are you Li Yunmu or not?” Lin Yuerou indignantly demanded of the sinisterly smiling Li Yunmu.
He smiled slightly and said, “Lin Yuerou, long time no see. I have returned! Come, follow me!”
Li Yunmu waved his hand, which startled Lin Yuerou. Was he Li Yunmu or not? His last gesture made her feel as if he was real.
Lin Yuerou closed her eyes, then swiftly opened them again. In that time, Li Yunmu, who had standing before her, had rushed to attack her. His appearance had caused her to lose her vigilance.
When the fake Li Yunmu grabbed Lin Yuerou’s hand, who knew that a hint of ruthlessness would appear on his face. He was surprisingly ready to kill Lin Yuerou.
“Ha ha ha ha... You, die for me!”
Suddenly, a hint of cunning appeared in Li Yunmu’s eyes, as if his plan had been accomplished successfully. Following this, he transformed into a shadow which slightly resembled Li Yunmu’s shadows.
Lin Yuerou was startled. The shadow of ‘Li Yunmu’ suddenly punched her stomach and sent her away. His strength was more formidable than she could have ever imagined.
