Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 529 Jewelry (Part 5)

He rushed towards Xiao Zhong, who was lying on the ground unable to move, and punched him in the head.

Xiao Zhong could only manage a few bitter laughs before closing his eyes in despair. He never dreamed that what seemed like an ordinary trip to a secret realm would turn into his death.

Just as Xiao Zhong closed his eyes and awaited death, he suddenly felt someone pat him on the shoulder.

"Senior Brother Xiao, it's alright now."

Xiao Zhong slowly opened his eyes, only to see Han Yi.

"I'm not dead...?!" He was actually a little confused and didn't understand the situation.

Han Yi smiled and said, "Fortunately, Senior Brother sent for help in time. I'm not far from you, so it's not too late." Xiao Zhong looked at the Western Region man lying not far away, with a huge gash in his chest, bleeding profusely, and lifeless.

It was only then that I realized what had happened.

"Junior Brother Han, you...you..." He stared in disbelief, clearly extremely surprised.

"Oh, this guy isn't very vigilant. I just ambushed him from behind, and he didn't even notice," Han Yi said casually.

"..."

Xiao Zhong was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

He was Han Yi's senior brother, the head of the Nine-Bend Academy, and the nominal captain. Now, he was being saved by a junior brother whom he believed needed his help…

Not far away, on a protruding rock, shrouded in white mist, a petite woman lay tightly on the platform, trying her best not to make a sound.

With just a slight hesitation, she stood guard on the sidelines, and the result was quite different the moment she turned her head.

too fast.

It happened so fast that she didn't even have time to react before it was all over.

She could only watch helplessly as her companion had his chest smashed open with a single punch, his neck casually grabbed, and he was tossed aside like trash.

This man…

"Are you afraid?"

Suddenly, a sharp female voice rang out softly beside her.

Even though there was only one person on the platform and the woman's lips didn't move, her voice still rang out, carrying a slightly eerie, demonic quality.

"I...I'm not scared, I'm just a little sad..." the woman tried her best to explain. "Sad? What's there to be sad about? Even if he's your cousin, it's just a title in name only." The voice was completely different from the woman's.

"You must remember that in the Su Mu family, only the two of us are the true heirs. Everyone else is just a stepping stone."

Even if he doesn't die, we'll kill him with our own hands someday, severing the shackles of family ties...

The voice was calm, but the meaning behind the words was extremely vicious.

"But..." the woman wanted to argue.

"Shut up!" The voice suddenly became louder. "Stupid little sister, hurry down there and get that thing! I can feel it, it's down there!"

This is a godsend! Although we don't know why the secret realm's grand formation suddenly failed, if we don't go down now, it will be too late!

Helpless, Su Muwan had no choice but to get up and slowly approach the mist below.

"Senior brother, are you saying that this man has a companion, and that she is a woman?"

"Indeed, that woman's martial arts skills are higher than this man's, especially her movement techniques, which are particularly unpredictable."

Xiao Zhong recounted his experience with lingering fear.

After taking the healing pills, his health improved significantly, and he regained most of his fighting strength.

"Everything was fine until then; I was harvesting herbs. Suddenly, the earth shook, this canyon appeared, and then these two foreign men and women showed up..."

"I see..." Han Yi said thoughtfully.

Judging from Xiao Zhong's words, the canyon seemed to have been formed around the time he opened the cauldron lid in the inner layer of the secret realm.

So, it turns out that his suggestion to split the team caused problems with the formation, ultimately resulting in Xiao Zhong suffering the consequences. In the end, it really was his fault?

"?"

Suddenly, his ears twitched, and he looked toward the canyon wall on one side.

The area was shrouded in white fog, making it impossible to see anything.

"What's wrong, junior brother?" Xiao Zhong asked, puzzled.

"Senior brother, wait for me a moment, I'll be right back." Han Yi didn't wait for his reply before quickly getting up and rushing off in one direction.

Before long, he arrived at the end of the canyon.

There is a huge gap in the rock wall here, from which countless white mists slowly seep out.

The most important point is not that; the key point is that a courtyard has appeared next to the gap.

The courtyard was small, square, and looked somewhat dilapidated, but the couplets on the gate and the "福" (good fortune) character pasted on the door...

No matter how you look at it, it's really quite strange. Yes, Han Yi felt something was extremely wrong.

If the most terrifying thing is playing on your phone in class, only to turn around and find the teacher watching you from the back door for ages.

The weird thing is that you're playing on your phone in class, and when you turn around, you find all your classmates staring at you with blank expressions.

No matter how you look at it, the sudden appearance of a room that looks like it's inhabited in this secret realm is truly bizarre.

Han Yi frowned and walked to the door.

A creak.

With a gentle push, the door, which wasn't locked, opened.

I stepped over the threshold and went inside.

The first thing Han Yi saw was a huge full-length mirror.

The mirror is taller than a person, with an oval frame on the outside and a tall bronze mirror inside. The frame is made of fine sandalwood and is engraved with many delicate and intricate patterns.

The mirror faces the main entrance, so it's the first thing he sees when he comes in.

However, the mirror seemed to have been uncleaned for too long, and from a distance, one could not see any person's image in it.

Han Yi walked closer and found that there was no white mist in the courtyard. It was as if some mysterious force was preventing the white mist from entering the courtyard.

As he got closer to the mirror, he finally saw his reflection.

However, Han Yi's face was clearly expressionless.

He suddenly smiled in the mirror, revealing his chilling white teeth.

Han Yi was about to take a closer look when his smile vanished instantly, as if it had just been his imagination.

"Hmm... this mirror is probably a bit worn out from being around for so long..."

He continued walking around the mirror and into it. No sooner had Han Yi left than his image reappeared in the mirror, this time with a terrifying, grotesque face that looked completely different from the same person.

Han Yi seemed to notice something, and slightly turned his head, causing the reflection in the mirror to suddenly disappear again.

Behind the mirror is a small courtyard with a dead tree in it.

A long rope was hanging precariously from the tree.

There were specks of blood on the rope, and a circle at the end.

It looks like someone hanged themselves here.

Strangely, even though there wasn't a breath of wind in the yard, the long rope hanging from the tree was still swaying back and forth.

Han Yi paused, his gaze shifting in that direction.

*Smack!*

As if a pause button had been pressed, the rope immediately stopped moving when he looked over.
