Although the little apprentice sister is weak, she can fight

"Tsk..."

Li Yue held the steel whip in his hand and looked at the house in front of him that had been blown into pieces. He couldn't help but waved the dust in front of him.

"Senior sister!"

"Hmm?" She felt someone coming over and was alert for a while, but then relaxed when she realized it was someone she knew.

"Here!" she waved.

Shen Qiao rushed over and saw the mess.

Li Yue brushed aside the messy hair on her head and couldn't help asking, "Why are you here? Didn't you go to Huanshan with Zhang Zhi?"

"We were coming back from there, I passed by here, and then I encountered the open entrance." Shen Qiao explained.

"Hello." Lou Zhiyu nodded when she saw Li Yue.

"This is Lou Zhiyu from Wanyuan Valley." Shen Qiao introduced her and then looked at Lou Qingyue. "This is my senior sister, Li Yue."

"Hey? I've seen you before." Li Yue suddenly said, "Before I came here, I met someone who looked similar to you, but we only had a quick glance and didn't say hello. Do you still remember him?"

Lou Zhiyu thought about it and shook her head. "I entered here at the beginning. The person that Fellow Daoist Li saw...I'm afraid it's not the real person."

Could everyone in Fallen Shadow Manor be imitated? Where did those "food-lures" learn this trick?

Li Yue seemed to realize this as well. After a brief thought, she shifted the topic back to the present. "So, from what you're saying, you found it from another dimension?"

The two nodded and recounted their experiences during the "daytime" meeting.

"My progress here is not very smooth." Li Yue shook a long glass bottle in his hand that was similar to Shen Qiao's, except that the content of this bottle was black.

"Actually, the situation here is similar to what you said. I've also been looking for a house."

At this point, Li Yue suddenly seemed to remember something and asked something off topic, "By the way, are there any other people over there besides you two?"

"We're sure there's no one else there." Lou Zhiyu answered confidently, "We looked around and didn't encounter anyone else."

Li Yue frowned, scratched his hair and tutted softly, "That's strange."

"A tall and strong sword cultivator was also teleported here before. Oh, Junior Sister also knows him. He's called Zhang Qiuming."

"I was searching for the door from house to house, and I ran into him just as I was leaving a two-story building. We just recognized each other, and before I could say a word to him, he suddenly disappeared."

Li Yue shrugged. "Perhaps there's a third dimension here, but I haven't found any actual evidence of its existence. It's too dark here, and it doesn't seem to be pure darkness. Even my fire can't illuminate many places clearly. And... I always feel like there's something following me here, and I've almost fallen into their trap several times."

bang-

As he spoke, a wooden board fell from the bombed house, revealing a dilapidated hut that looked just like the one in the "daytime" space.

"I can't open it." Li Yue added silently.

"As you can see, even direct bombing won't open it. So, how did you get here?"

Can't open it?

Shen Qiao and Lou Zhiyu looked at each other, and Shen Qiao suddenly remembered that it was Lou Zhiyu who opened the door just now.

"Maybe... it's because Fellow Daoist Lou fell into the trap of that shadow?" she guessed.

"This is easy." Lou Zhiyu said, and walked forward.

"I'll try opening the door...!"

Shen Qiao and Li Yue saw that the girl who was walking peacefully had suddenly disappeared. They were so shocked that they hurried over to check, "Fellow Daoist Lou?!"

"I'm fine." The voice sounded like a gasp of pain.

Soon, a slender hand stretched out from the wreckage, followed by a clean white face covered with dust.

"Sorry, it was too dark and I didn't see the hole on the ground." As she said that, Lou Zhiyu climbed out of the pit with the help of the two people.

Li Yue, who was furious, immediately said with embarrassment: "This... I'm sorry, I couldn't control myself just now."

Lou Zhiyu patted the hem of her clothes, and her white clothes with gold-edged cloud patterns were completely stained black.

Unable to clean it up, she seemed to give up struggling and said, "It's okay, I'll go open the door."

After saying this, the girl walked carefully over the ruins, raised her hand, placed it on the door panel and pushed it gently.

"opened."

"Wow..." Li Yue sighed.

Shen Qiao poked his head out of the doorway and said, "That's the same place we just came from."

After saying that, she turned her head back to look at the two of them and smiled, "Actually... I have an idea. Do you want to hear it?"

Lou Zhiyu didn't understand what Shen Qiao meant, but Li Yue looked at her smile and guessed that she must have some tricks up her sleeve.

"Tell me about it." Li Yue continued.

"It's too dark here for us to move around, so it's hard to find out why Zhang Qiuming disappeared."

Shen Qiao pointed to the sky and said, "I just looked and saw that there is no 'sun' here like there is during the day. So I wanted to try and see if I could 'pick' it down since it's all from the secret realm."

"...It sounds very interesting." Lou Zhiyu couldn't help but speak.

Li Yue was lost in thought, thinking that since there was no other solution for now, "Then... let's give it a try?"

The three of them hit it off immediately, jumped out of the door and returned to the "daytime" side together, then began to look for the wooden door that could connect the two spaces.

As the saying goes, the first time is strange, the second time is familiar. Since there were three of us looking for it this time, we quickly found the door in a shop.

Lou Zhiyu went to open the door, while Shen Qiao and Li Yue tried to take the glowing beads in the sky.

"Po Jun, upon hearing my command, all gods and ghosts will quickly reveal themselves—Ji Meng, summon him!"

Shen Qiao immediately called for reinforcements. The rain god with a dragon head and a human body spread his wings and flew up. In just an instant, he knocked the beads in the sky down.

As the bead fell, the surrounding light dimmed instantly. Li Yue jumped up and caught the bead that had shrunk to the size of a fist. Shen Qiao just sent the god away.

The three of them followed through the door and went to the "night" side before it got completely dark.

After the bead appeared, the originally dark road was completely illuminated, and as the light shone, a rustling sound receded.

Sure enough, there was something following me in the darkness.

"Look there!" Lou Zhiyu had been paying attention to the situation on the ground. Now that she had made a discovery, she immediately reminded him.

It was a window set on the ground and it was already open.

There are doors and windows. Is this because the whole room is split up to serve as a space passage?

Shen Qiao couldn't help but want to complain.
