I swept the Phoenix with the Onmyoji Shikigami

This is a dark forest shrouded in thick night, and every inch of the air seems to be filled with uneasiness and depression.

What appeared before his eyes was a dark forest tightly embraced by the deep night.

The surrounding trees were thick and twisted, their branches and leaves intertwined like a group of sleeping ancient beasts.

A faint green light flickered in the darkness, as if spying on every living being that stepped into this forbidden area.

The moonlight was thin, with only a few rays penetrating the dense treetops, casting silvery and cold spots of light.

It adds a bit of mystery and uneasiness to this secluded place.

The air was filled with an ancient and damp smell, a mixture of earth, leaves, and some unknown creature.

This breath seems to penetrate into people's bones, making people feel a chill involuntarily.

Every tree around looks like an old man who has experienced many vicissitudes of life, and the trunks are covered with traces of time.

The branches and leaves are intertwined, like an intricate maze, tightly surrounding the stars.

In this environment where it was so quiet that one could almost hear the heartbeat, Xinghan could clearly feel the prying eyes coming from all directions.

The twisted shadows of the trees swayed in the dim light, as if giant sleeping beasts were slowly waking up.

Their branches and leaves rustle gently, making a rustling sound, like a low whisper, telling the secrets and horrors of this forest.

And Xinghan seems to be their next target.

What permeated the surroundings was not only an ominous atmosphere, but also an indescribable loneliness and fear.

The twisted shadows of the trees swayed in the breeze, but there was no sound.

It was so quiet that the only thing I could hear was my own rapid breathing and heartbeat.

It was as if the entire forest was holding its breath, waiting for some impending disaster.

Xinghan felt mixed emotions, as he knew very well that the road ahead to find Yaoqin was full of thorns and dangers.

Every step you take could lead you into an abyss from which there is no return.

But the desire for the unknown and the obsession with Yaoqin burned in his chest like a raging fire that could not be extinguished.

"But!" Xinghan clenched his fists, his nails digging deeply into his palms.

He clenched his teeth, his eyes flashing with determination and resoluteness.

"I can't retreat! Yaoqin, that is my original bond with this world, the source of my strength, and the extension of my soul. How can I give up so easily?"

An even darker thought quietly grew in his mind, entwining his heart like a poisonous snake.

If he doesn't go after Yaoqin, he might have to pay an unbearable price.

The thought gave him the chills, but it also strengthened his resolve.

Just as Xinghan was thinking about a lot of things, a sudden huge force suddenly attacked him from behind. He was caught off guard and felt that his body was like a fallen leaf blown by the wind. He rushed forward involuntarily and went deep into the heart of the forest. However, at this moment, the spiritual power in Xinghan's body seemed to be activated by this external force, surging and almost breaking through his body.

He quickly mobilized his spiritual power, and with the help of this power, he jumped up lightly, and miraculously stabilized his body and returned to his previous position. At this moment, Xinghan's heart was filled with unprecedented ambition and lofty sentiments.

"Okay!" He shouted, and kicked the ground with his legs. This time, he took the initiative to take the step, no longer forced by external forces. "I, Xinghan, am a member of the fairy world, so I must have the courage to cut through the thorns and move forward! Yaoqin, here I come!"

As the words fell, Xinghan's figure turned into a stream of light, and he resolutely stepped into the dark forest full of unknowns and dangers.

Before his toes touched the ground, a burst of steel-like plant leaves suddenly emerged from the ground. "Not good!"

While shouting, Xinghan took off into the air at an extremely fast speed.

At the decisive moment, Xinghan took a deep breath and waved his hands gently.

In an instant, a warm and bright light burst out from his body, like the dawn breaking through the darkness, enveloping him completely.

Xinghan's feet seemed to be gently lifted up by invisible wings, and he soared into the air gracefully and firmly, avoiding the attack of the leaves.

"Someone!" Xinghan thought, is the perception of this leaf so strong? Perhaps someone is controlling it.

In an instant, night suddenly fell, and the cold wind blew across the stars without any warning. He needed to tread carefully.

Under the vast night sky, Xinghan is like a ranger in a star cloak, traveling through the strange realm where the universe and the forest are intertwined.

He maintained the stability of his spiritual power and made his body alert enough, "Damn, if I wasn't curious, would I not have to enter this damn place?!"

Xinghan thought, it’s true that curiosity kills the cat.

However, it would be fine if he was really like Xingzhi, a person without desires and like an immortal.

After all, such people have often transcended worldly troubles and desires, and what they pursue may be a higher spiritual realm or inner peace and tranquility.

However, in reality, it is difficult for most people to reach this level.

What's more, he is just an ordinary person, just like millions of mortals in this world, with his own joys, sorrows, anger, and happiness, seven emotions and six desires, as well as various shortcomings and deficiencies.

What could be wrong for him to do such a thing?

Thinking of this, Xinghan felt that his confidence had returned.

No matter whether it works or not, just do it!

His eyes were as sharp as the brightest stars in the night sky.

Shining with wisdom and calmness, he was always alert to all movements around him.

"You came……"

"Hey, you're finally here..."

"It is you……"

“Xinghan…”

"Han..."

Deep whispers gradually came from the night sky, as if they were having an intimate chat with Xinghan.

There were also the sounds of men and women laughing, and some of them had voices exactly like Xinghan's:

"Mad, I'm curious!"

"Oh, please don't come in."

“Well, I still have to believe in myself.”

"Whether it works or not, I have to move forward..."

The voices of men and women intertwined, making it impossible to distinguish them.

Xinghan felt creepy listening to these sounds and looking at the unidentified light bodies floating in the air.

"Who is it?" Xinghan muttered to himself. He wanted to yell, but was afraid of angering this mysterious existence.

Wait and see.

Those light bodies appeared out of nowhere, as if they were born in the air. At first they were like fireflies, and then they grew bigger and brighter, jumping and playing in the darkness, but they also carried a crisis that could not be ignored.

Xinghan traveled for a while, and Yaoqin's light kept flickering in front of his eyes. He succeeded in getting it several times, but it flew away at the critical moment...
