Chapter 574: Mirror World

However, the Taibao Order of the Thirteen Taibao is now in Chen Yu's hands, so he cannot help but believe it.

After all, he knows that for this item, if the person is there, the order is there, and if the person dies, the order is lost; could it be that everything Chen Yu said is true?

For the next period of time, Ye Qinglong was very silent; he had been shocked by Chen Yu.

In his eyes, those high and mighty experts of the Martial Ancestor Realm were not worth mentioning in front of Chen Yu, which gave him a great sense of frustration.

"Where is your sister?" Putting down the map, Chen Yu looked around and suddenly realized.

"Miss Ye went to the woods over there to use the restroom; she just went over," a bodyguard replied.

Ye Qingning had indeed just gone over; she might have walked a bit far, as she was a girl, and in front of a large group of men, physiological matters were somewhat embarrassing.

However, Chen Yu frowned; this place had turned completely dark, and the surroundings were eerie, so it was definitely not a good thing for her to go into the jungle alone.

Just at this moment, a cry of alarm came from the woods; although this cry was soft and quickly muffled, Chen Yu still heard it.

He stood up abruptly: "Someone is calling for help."

"No, why didn't I hear anything?" Ye Qinglong looked at Chen Yu with a puzzled face; he turned his head and asked the bodyguards: "Did you hear anything?"

"We didn't hear anything, Mr. Chen?" Several bodyguards stood up in confusion.

If one person hadn't heard it, it might be that Chen Yu really heard a sound, but since everyone hadn't heard it, there was only one possibility: Chen Yu was having auditory hallucinations.

But they did not know that Chen Yu now possessed the first level of the Great Profound Sacred Clarity Scripture, and his hearing and vision were far more sensitive than those of ordinary people.

"No, you stay where you are and don't move; I'll go take a look." Chen Yu grabbed a flashlight and stood up.

"Mr. Chen, take this for self-defense." A bodyguard took out a gun for Chen Yu.

Chen Yu took the gun and slipped into the woods on the side.

In the darkness, Ye Qingning was walking forward in confusion.

After she finished her physiological business, she originally wanted to get up and go back, but her vision suddenly went completely black.

The flashlight in her hand only illuminated a small area, and it was as if a layer of black fog was shrouding her vision, making it impossible for her to see the things in front of her at all.

Her satellite phone had actually lost its signal, and she opened her mouth to call out, but she couldn't see anyone.

So she could only grope her way forward, trying to walk out of this darkness.

Suddenly, a road emerged before her eyes; this road was wide and bright, and without thinking much, she followed this road forward.

Unfortunately, she did not know that the true face of this seemingly bright and wide road was one of deathly silence.

Suddenly, the road ended; she stopped abruptly, and when she looked back, she saw that the previously wide and bright road had disappeared.

Replacing it was a dark and deathly silent path, the road piled high with blackened human skeletons, and countless ghost fires flickered upon the bones.

The world before her was pitch black, as if it were a world without color.

But immediately after, a bewitching flower suddenly emerged from the ground.

This flower was brightly colored and incomparably bewitching, and as this flower emerged, more flowers sprouted from the ground.

The bewitching flowers were growing out of those human skeletons, and the flowers were huge; their vivid colors gave one a feeling of dread.

Suddenly, she felt a chill on both ankles; a pair of pale, cold hands grabbed her feet, and then a huge force dragged her backward.

Ye Qingning opened her mouth to scream, but a hand tightly covered her mouth and violently dragged her backward.

Behind her was a small stream, and with a splash, she fell into the water.

Struggling desperately in the water, she inadvertently opened her eyes and saw unknown glowing objects in the water.

And at the bottom of this small stream, there were piles of white bones; it was unknown how long these bones had been soaked in the water, but the clothing on some of them had not yet rotted away.

These clothes were, shockingly, the uniforms of Fusang officers from the time of the invasion of China.

At the same time, the things that had dragged her into the water appeared; their bodies were translucent, they had no pupils, and their pale faces were expressionless as they drifted in the water like ghosts.

Ye Qingning's emotions surged all at once; fear, panic, and the suffocation of being in the water made her nearly faint.

Just at this moment, a warm and powerful hand suddenly appeared and pulled her out of the water.

The ghosts drifting in the water let out silent roars; they surged out of the water in anger, as if they wanted to tear the person who had saved Ye Qingning into pieces.

The one who saved Ye Qingning was naturally Chen Yu; seeing the several transparent shadows surging from the water, he frowned, grabbed with his right hand, and held Lichen in his hand.

Immediately following, a flash of sword radiance erupted, and a crisscrossing wave of Sword Qi whistled upward; the sharp sword radiance shone out like a scorching sun.

Those several translucent ghosts shrieked; they were swept by the sword radiance, a wisp of blue smoke rose from their bodies, and they vanished instantly.

"Chen Yu..." Ye Qingning gripped Chen Yu's hand tightly; she was still shaken, gasping for breath.

The scene from just a moment ago floated in her heart like a nightmare; at the moment she entered the water, she felt as if she were almost dead.

"Are you alright?" Chen Yu helped her sit down.

"I, I'm fine." Ye Qingning steadied herself: "Just now... what were those things?"

"Nothing, just some lonely ghosts and wild spirits." Chen Yu gathered some branches and lit a fire.

With the addition of the firelight, Ye Qingning finally felt a trace of warmth.

She looked out, and the large patch of bewitching flowers from before was now black in color, with some even oozing bright blood.

And beneath the flowers were countless decayed skeletons; Ye Qingning then saw clearly that the clothing on these skeletons was likewise the old-style uniforms of Fusang officers.

"These are Fusang people, officers from the time of the invasion of China who accidentally stumbled in here and all died here; the things that dragged you into the water just now were the wandering souls they turned into," Chen Yu said.

"What is this place?" Ye Qingning looked around in shock and suspicion.

"A forest, or rather, another dimensional space," Chen Yu said with a furrowed brow: "This place is an ordinary primeval forest during the day, but at night, it is another world, known as the Mirror World."

"This place connects to the heavens above and the Youming below; those flowers are the legendary Other Shore Flowers, and the road from just now was a path leading to the Yellow Springs Road," Chen Yu said: "These Fusang officers also accidentally stumbled in here before, which is why they all lost their lives here."

"Then how can we leave?" Ye Qingning shrank back, leaning against Chen Yu involuntarily.

Among the third generation of the Ye Clan, her abilities were indeed strong, and she was decisive in her dealings, even more courageous than those men.
