Immortal Road.

Chapter 268: Evil Spirits
At the same time, auroras appeared all over the sea.

There were constant voices of doubt, and many monks who were trying to go to the forbidden area on the cliff did not understand what had just happened.

Why did it suddenly fall into darkness and the Aurora Sea lose its light?

Now that it has been restored, the prisms are all white and no longer project various scene clips, causing many monks who are looking for spiritual objects and trying hard to remember the terrain to curse.

Anyone who is peeking halfway will be furious if interrupted.

"Damn it! I just saw the Yunling Green Ivy, but before I could take a closer look, the mirror went out!"

"What happened? I almost found the Luyu stalactite, why did the mirror image disappear?"

"How hateful! I haven't even had time to finish drawing the map of the Demon Cave, and I've given up halfway. I'm so angry!"

"What a pity! I was just one step away from seeing the Deer Demon King enter the treasure cave, but the scene disappeared."

……

Fairy Yueshang stood quietly in front of an aurora mirror that was about ten feet wide and as high as the horizon, muttering to herself as if she was thinking about something.

“Just now, was it that person who took action?”

"He is indeed still alive. It seems that Master's inference is correct. However, the forbidden area of ​​the cliff is so large. Where should I go to find him?"

"I don't know if that kid from Bailu Academy has thought about it. I must meet that person before him."

……

Zhong Shenxiu and Young Master Jiuyou were also wandering around in the prism world at this time.

The two hit it off immediately when they met in Jiangning City and agreed to travel together.

Along the way, relying on their own strengths, they worked together to cross the Star-Swallowing Mountains and plunged into the Aurora Sea.

They also saw the strange phenomenon just now, and after being at a loss, they immediately calmed down.

The young master Jiuyou was confused and wanted to ask the Star Lord Youying, but he did not have much star power, and it was not easy for him to summon troublemakers at will. How could the big boss be ordered around by a young man like him?

What's more, Zhong Shenxiu was also next to him, so it was not convenient for him to reveal his cards.

"Brother Zhong, you see the Aurora Sea fell into darkness just now, could it be that there is some strange change in the world?"

As the immortal genius of Bailu Academy, Zhong Shenxiu must be a man of great talent and profound knowledge.

He stroked his chin and thought hard for a while, his tone uncertain.

"To be able to extinguish this vast sea of ​​aurora in an instant, I think it is because the mother of the earth's magnetic field was stirred up, causing chaos, which is the only way to achieve this phenomenon."

"But the Aurora Sea has now returned to its original state and has not disappeared. This means that just now all the light was focused away, causing us to not be able to see the Aurora. In fact, it still exists around us."

"All the light rays are gathered in an instant. Could this be due to the gravity of the stars in the sky?"

The young master Jiuyou had some understanding of star power, and he had learned a lot from the star lord Youying, so he shook his head after hearing this.

"It's unlikely. Our world is in the lower realm, and the stars in the outer world are in the upper realm. They can't exert much influence on the lower realm from such a distance."

"Unless it is an event expressly permitted by the Heavenly Court, such as the July Fire Festival, it is absolutely impossible to produce a phenomenon of this scale. Moreover, it is too far away to absorb all the light here in an instant. The consumption of star power is too terrifying."

Zhong Shenxiu was a little surprised. He turned to look at Young Master Jiuyou with an inexplicable expression on his face.

"Brother Wuyazi seems to be quite familiar with the way of the stars? I remember that the Taoist Golden Drum Cave lineage doesn't focus on star power, right?"

The young master of Jiuyou was shocked. He didn't expect that Zhong Shenxiu had prepared lessons for the Jingudong lineage. He was afraid that he would be exposed, so he hurried to explain.

"Brother Zhong, please don't misunderstand. The star power is an opportunity I gained from traveling to other places. It has nothing to do with my master's lineage."

Zhong Shenxiu is a man of great intelligence. Not only is he not easy to fool, but he can also draw inferences from one example.

"As for the inheritance of star power, as far as I know, in the area of ​​Lu, Chu, and Jin, it seems that only one True Lord Yuxing has been heard of in the past ten thousand years."

"Could it be that Brother Wuyazi has obtained the inheritance of True Lord Yuxing?"

Young Master Jiuyou's heart was beating wildly, thinking that this immortal genius from Bailu Academy was too cunning. How could he make such a connection with what I just mentioned casually?
"Brother Zhong, you are joking. Master Yuxing is such a legendary figure. It is said that he is a peerless genius who can compete with great masters in the Nascent Soul stage. If I could inherit his legacy, maybe walking in the Aurora Sea would be like walking in my back garden. Why would it be so difficult like it is now?"

Zhong Shenxiu nodded and couldn't help bending over and coughing for a while. Tuberculosis made him feel uncomfortable from time to time.

But there was still a smile on his face, which made Young Master Jiuyou feel uneasy.

"Why is he looking at me like that? Did he notice something?"

"He is a Confucian monk, could he have ideas about True Lord Yuxing's secret treasure?"

"That's not right. This matter is clearly within the realm of magic, so not many people should know about it."

"I shouldn't have been with him earlier, it's bad luck"

Young Master Jiuyou is full of suspicion.

Zhong Shenxiu was also muttering in his heart.

"This Wuyazi said that he is a casual cultivator, but he has inherited the Taoist and star power. With my great energy, I can sense a faint trace of demonic energy flashing by. I'm afraid he is really not an unknown person."

"As for the secret treasure of Master Yuxing, I have had an idea for a long time. This boy may know some inside information. I can find an opportunity to follow him in the future and wait for the opportunity to come."

"However, for this trip to the forbidden area on the cliff, we should first complete the tasks assigned by the elders of the academy. The secret treasure of Yuxing will probably not be opened for decades, so there is no rush now."

"As for the incident in the Aurora Sea this time, apart from that great figure, I can't think of anyone else who could have such magical power."

"I think Sailor Moon can guess it too. I can't fall behind her. I have to find her first!"

"There is also the Luyu stalactite, I must get it too!"

……

This young genius of the immortal way had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but on the surface he was still polite and cordial with Young Master Jiuyou. The two of them traveled together in the prism world and headed towards the interior of the forbidden area on the cliff.

The Aurora Sea is extremely vast. Although there are quite a few people on this trip, they are basically scattered everywhere, so it is generally difficult to meet each other.

Lin Shan and the other three discussed as they walked, each of them feeling very anxious.

"Could the sudden change in the world just now be related to the man in the fishing hat we took a look at?"

"How is that possible? There are other people in the Aurora Sea. Maybe someone else triggered something, which caused a brief window of lightlessness in the Aurora. It has nothing to do with us!"

"Eh? Now that you put it that way, it seems to make sense?"

"That's natural. Don't you think about how the forbidden area of ​​the cliff was formed? It is the remains left after the fierce battle of the invasion of evil demons from outer space in ancient times. The Aurora Sea might be the overwhelming formation left by the powerful people in this world back then. How could there be no backup plan?"

"I see. It seems we thought too much."

During the discussion, several people forced themselves to find an excuse, and after comforting each other, they managed to calm down.

After all, the scene just now was too scary.

Lin Shan also felt that the man in the fishing hat was extraordinary. The look he gave them in the mirror seemed to have traveled through infinite space. The pressure in his eyes directly affected reality. It was simply outrageous to the extreme. He didn't want to expose himself in front of such a strong man from the bottom of his heart.

He was so panicked that he just hoped that no one noticed him. Then, because there was no image projected in the prism, it became like looking in a mirror.

Their passing figures appear in the mirror from time to time, giving people the feeling of walking in a maze.

This walk took several more hours. I felt like a headless fly, wandering around in the maze and shuttling back and forth along the mirrored corridor.

Lin Shan discovered through the virtual star disk that they walked and walked, went around a big circle and came back!

"No! We can't go on like this!"

He was just about to warn the three brothers around him when he suddenly saw the reflection of the four of them in the mirror on the left, and one of them was not alive!
"who are you?"

Lin Shan was horrified!

Turning around and looking at the "Master of Xuchan Cave", he in the mirror turned into a hazy black shadow, or a ball of sticky black mist, and did not look like a normal person at all.

The "Xu Chan Cave Master" stared with his eyes wide open and replied in confusion: "What are you talking about, kid?"

Lin Shan pointed at the Aurora mirror on the left. The ancestor of the Yang family and the great elder of the Zhenyue Sect looked over and were all horrified. They jumped away in unison and pointed at the red-haired old man and questioned him.

"Who are you? Where is the master of Xuchan Cave?"

Everyone was shocked. How come after walking around for a while, the Lord of Xuchan Cave was replaced without anyone noticing?

However, this "Xu Chan Cave Master" was unaware of this and looked at the three people with a blank face. He was also somewhat puzzled by his own shadow in the mirror.

"My reflection, why did it become like this?"

The three of them were all very skilled and courageous. They surrounded the beast in a triangle, blocking all its escape routes, and vowed to find out what was causing the trouble.

Especially the great elder of Zhenyue Sect, the shock and anger in his eyes could be imagined. The Lord of Xuchan Cave had been his old friend for hundreds of years, and he disappeared without him knowing anything, and instead, such a thing sneaked in!

"It is rumored that there are still evil demons from outer space in the forbidden area of ​​the cliff. Looking at his appearance, could it be that he has been possessed by the evil demons from outer space?"

"Impossible. The master of Xuchan Cave is in the late Jindan stage. What kind of evil demon can possess the body of a late Jindan cultivator without making any sound?"

"What is the black shadow reflected in the mirror? How about we capture it first?"

The atmosphere was a little subtle. The three of them exchanged glances frequently, discussing whether to take action.

At this time, Master Xuchan of the Xuchan Cave was sweating profusely. He wanted to explain himself but couldn't express himself clearly. But when he looked into the mirror, he suddenly found another unusual place.

".Uh.No!"

Not only did he see himself in the mirror on the left, he also saw the projection of the mirror on the right!

Mirror within mirror!
He turned around immediately and found that the picture in the mirror on the right was completely different.

The one who turned into the shadow of the Grand Elder of Zhenyue Sect was a blurry black shadow, while the other three were all normal human beings.

Lin Shan's heart skipped a beat again, and he quickly moved away from the Grand Elder of the Zhenyue Sect next to him. The Yang Family's ancestor also hesitated for a moment, then walked over and stood with Lin Shan, looking at the two of them with a serious expression.

The Great Elder of Zhenyue Sect was confused. He looked at the mirrors on both sides, spread his hands and couldn't help asking:
"What's going on?"

The master of Xuchan Cave breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he was not the only one with problems.

"I think something happened to the Aurora Mirror. The four of us have always been inseparable. How could someone be swapped out?"

"Brother Yang, Master Lin, there's no need to make a fuss!"

The master of Xuchan Cave walked forward with a smile, his fiery red hair fluttering.

At this time, the man in the mirror also began to move. Countless black tentacles appeared on the head of the black shadow, and his face opened into a huge arc, as if he was going to swallow Lin Shan in one bite!
"stop!"

Lin Shan took a few steps back suddenly. He suddenly realized that something was wrong with the Lord of Xuchan Cave compared to before he came in.

"Where's your headband? I remember you had a headband on your head before you came in. Why is it gone now?"

The master of Xuchan Cave was slightly stunned and touched his forehead.

"Hmm, I almost forgot about this. It seems I didn't follow closely enough before."

"???"

"I didn't expect that such a perfect disguise would go wrong in the details. This is really not right."

"???"

Under Lin Shan's incredulous gaze, the whole body of "Xuchan Cave Master" flowed like water, his whole body became distorted, and his tone was even more sharp and harsh.

"Boy, isn't it good to be a confused ghost? Why do you have to die so clearly?"

At some point, the Grand Elder of the Zhenyue Sect also started laughing strangely, his whole body twisting and turning, and he didn't touch the ground when he walked, but floated up instead.

"Why bother with all that? This guy is probably the weakest among the four of us. Just swallow him!"

"We have been secretly observing for a whole day, and now we can finally have a taste of the food."

"How can I deal with you properly? Hmm..."

"It's been a while since I've eaten fresh humans. The last time I remember was... it seemed like..."

The "Grand Elder of the Zhenyue Sect" seemed to have a very bad memory. He suddenly got stuck while speaking, and stood there with his hands covering his head, starting to think.

"Master Xuchan Cave" snorted in dissatisfaction, seeming to be very contemptuous of another of his kind.

"Have you forgotten yesterday? We just killed a whole boatload of people, except for the leader, Master Ningfa, who escaped!"

"Oh, yes, yes! Look at my memory!"

The "Grand Elder of the Zhenyue Sect" licked his lips, twisted left and right, his eyes wandering, his eyeballs rolling, as if he was recalling the delicious taste.

Lin Shan's heart tightened. How could he not know about Master Ningfa?
A few days ago in the Star-Swallowing Mountains, when he was forcing his way across the Purple Forest Swamp, Master Ningfa of Xuanwu Village flew past him with an entire ship and more than a hundred disciples. The ancestor of the Yang family even introduced them to him one by one!

Master Ning Fa is a Jindan-stage immortal, but he couldn't even protect the lives of his disciples and could only flee alone? !
"What on earth is this thing? Why does it feel like an evil spirit that specializes in sucking human blood?"

Lin Shan quickly filtered the information about extraterritorial demons, extraterrestrial evil demons, ghosts, evil spirits, and evil spirits in his mind, and then locked onto the evil spirits.

"Humph! Just two evil spirits who used the Prism Maze to replace our two missing friends, do you really think we are easy to bully?"

The Yang family ancestor's domineering voice sounded beside Lin Shan at this time, giving people a convincing sense of security.

Lin Shan's spirits lifted. The ancestor of the Yang family was always so calm and gave people a very reliable feeling. He was indeed his natural ally.

They are just two evil spirits. It’s two against two between me and the ancestor of Yang family. I really don’t think they will be weak!

As for where the real master of Xuchan Cave and the great elder of Zhenyue Sect have gone, it is not the time to think about this yet.

The ancestor of the Yang family gave him a reassuring look, indicating that he didn't need to be afraid. If the enemy comes, we will fight him. If the water comes, we will block it with earth. No matter what kind of evil spirit it is, he can just fight it out.

Lin Shan slowly drew out his magic weapon and began to look around, preparing for the upcoming battle.

However, when he glanced at the mirror behind him, he suddenly found
The projection of the Yang family ancestor in the mirror was actually a ball of black mist!
In an instant, cold sweat dripped from his cheeks.
