Once he confirmed that everyone was on the Sun and Moon Shuttle, Xie Qianjue immediately activated its protective shield.

However, even the barrier of the Sun and Moon Shuttle could not withstand the raging torrent.

The group groped their way inside the Sun and Moon Shuttle to avoid being scattered.

With the doors and windows sealed, even if the Sun and Moon Shuttle struggles to keep up, the people will not be thrown outside.

The group leaned against the wall of the Sun and Moon Shuttle room with difficulty.

At this moment, Yun Yici spoke up: "Is this the light of Shenwu? Could it be that Dizhao and Linyu are still outside?"

While focusing on controlling the Sun and Moon Shuttle, Xie Qianjue replied, "I saw the light on the Demon Tower flash ten times earlier."

"That's exactly the number of all of us."

Wu Wang said in anguish, "It's over. They said Shen Wu's divine power wasn't enough, but I think it's more than enough."

"That kid Rinyu probably misjudged the situation the first time, otherwise why would he have included us in his calculations?"

Yun Yici said, "So we also boarded the ship to Chaomu Township?"

Wu Wang saw no joy; what he feared was not the homeland he longed for, but how to return.

Yun Yici also thought of this.

There's no turning back now; we can only take it one step at a time.

Shen Huaichuan said, "Once we come to a stop, we must immediately find Di Zhao and Lin Yu."

"Find out exactly what Lin Yu needs to leave Chaomu Township."

"Also, never get separated. Even if you are separated, you must never leave Zhujian and Wuwang's side."

Shen Huaichuan's attitude was cautious, and even Yun Yici looked over.

She said, "What do you mean?"

Shen Huaichuan nodded: "It's just as you think."

"A race destined to live only a day and die at night desires the lifespan of other races the most."

There is another way to escape one's fate: abandon one's dying body and possess another's body!

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

Unlike their undeserved misfortune, they were now like a piece of delicious meat being sent into a cage that locked up starving prisoners.

Wu Wang was stunned. Then, recalling the gazes of those villagers from his hometown back then, he belatedly broke out in a cold sweat.

Yun Yici thought for a moment, then took out the concealment talisman drawn by Yue Niang from her storage bag and distributed it to everyone.

When they set off, Yue Niang stayed in the sect but drew many talismans for Yun Yici to take with her.

"I don't know the cultivation level of the demon cultivators in Chaomu Village, but these talismans should be useful."

Everyone carefully put away the talismans.

After traveling for a long time, the shuttle finally came to a safe stop.

Yun Yici released her divine sense to confirm that there was no danger outside before she and the others walked out of the sealed room.

As soon as they stepped out of the room, everyone was stunned by the magnificent, golden, and colorful cloud city before them.

"Weren't we in the endless sea? How did we end up in the clouds?"

"Could it be that Chaomu Township is just ahead?"

"If we go there so rashly, we'll be recognized as outsiders immediately."

Wu Wang suddenly said, "Wait a minute."

He hesitated for a moment, then took out a few dark bird feathers from his sleeve and handed them to everyone.

Yun Yici and the others were shocked.

Wu Wang blushed under the stare and explained, "I didn't just pluck the hair."

“When my other heads were cut off, Sui Ge was standing nearby, and he secretly put them away.”

“When I passed through Ximing City last time, I got them all back, then buried their bodies, only taking a few head feathers as a memento.”

"You are wearing the feathers of the Nine Phoenixes, which may help you conceal your presence."

With Chaomu Township fast approaching, the group no longer declined, thanked Wuwang, and accepted the nine-phoenix feathers close to their bodies.

As the Sun and Moon Shuttle drew closer, Zhu Jian said, "Why don't I go ahead and scout things out first to see what's going on?"

Yun Yici: "Alright."

Zhu Jian leaped off the Sun and Moon Shuttle, his crimson figure disappearing like a nimble snake amidst the golden clouds in an instant.

After a while, the communication talisman in Yun Yici's sleeve vibrated.

After the call connected, Zhujian's voice came from the other end: "You can come directly. This city, well, how should I put it, is very strange."

"There was no one watching over them; they all did as they pleased, regardless of others."

"They didn't even glance at me when I came in, but just to be on the safe side, let's put away the Sun and Moon Shuttle. I'll meet you outside the city."

With such a large shuttle approaching, it's hard not to notice it.

Upon receiving the news, Xie Qianjue put away the Sun and Moon Shuttle and flew to the outside of the city to meet Zhujian before entering the city again.

As Zhujian said, the entire city was very loosely managed and had no guards.

The villagers, whose lives are fleeting and whose lives end in the morning, hurry through the city.

Their attention was entirely focused on themselves and the road beneath their feet; no one had time to pay attention to these outsiders.

However, the buildings in the city were exquisite and varied. Rong Xuan looked around and whispered, "These are all magical artifacts that can be stored away."

"However, it doesn't look like the weapon-refining school I'm familiar with in my domain."

Wu Wang was also taken aback: "There weren't this many houses when I came here before."

Yun Yici said, "This is not a house for living in."

Upon closer inspection, everyone saw that the signboard of the nearest city building read "Gambling House".

Outside the gambling den, a humanoid figure dressed as a waiter kept repeating, "Do you want to experience the ultimate thrill of life? Live without regrets, enjoy yourself now!"

Xie Qianjue, who had the most say in the matter, was speechless: "If I only had one day to live, I wouldn't waste my time in the gambling den."

But the villagers next to the waiter, some with flushed faces as if they were drunk, and others howling and wailing because they had lost so badly.

However, no matter what expressions the people who came out had, they would only vent for a short while before hurrying to the next location.

Further ahead, there are restaurants and other common shops, all staffed by the same waiters.

Rong Xuan also realized what was going on: "These are the lowest-level human puppets."

Aside from the relatively popular gambling dens, Yun Yici noticed that most people from Chaomu Township would head straight for buildings whose purpose was unclear from the outside after leaving the gambling dens.

And once they leave, they never come out again.

Therefore, the number of villagers in the city is visibly decreasing.

"Senior Brother Rong, can you tell what these magical artifacts are for?"

After examining it closely, Rong Xuan confirmed, "It is a magical artifact."

They had experienced the so-called magical artifacts many times during their youth when they underwent trials in the sect.

Once inside, one will encounter various unreal illusions as a test.

Yun Yici gasped: "I have an idea."

"Could these magical artifacts have been deliberately placed here?"

Shen Huaichuan: "That's definitely a smart person."

In the limited lifespan of the other person, sell a false yet fulfilling life experience, let them indulge in it, and believe that this is the life they want.

Only when one is about to die will one suddenly realize that a day of life has quietly come to an end.

Yun Yici calmly said, "Let's meet up with Di Zhaolinyu and the others first, and then we'll leave this place after we've helped them find what they need."

Xie Qianjue analyzed, "They were caught up in that torrent before us; they should be ahead of us."

The good news is that the people of Chaomu Village in the city were attracted by the magical artifact, and so many of them gathered together, along with the bright red robes of the Emperor.

They should be able to find each other soon.

However, after circling around the city, they still couldn't find Di Zhao and Lin Yu.

Wu Wang worriedly said, "I used to stay in Chaomu Village because I could travel between the two worlds. Could Lin Yu's method have sent them to another place?"

Just as Yun Yici was about to speak, a weak female voice suddenly came to her ear: "I know where they are."

Yes, it was in my ears, not in my mind.

Although the sound was faint, Shen Huaichuan and the others all looked over at the same time.

Yun Yici released her divine sense and discovered a tiny speck of "dust" stuck to a strand of hair hanging down behind her ear.

She immediately brushed the speck of dust off with her fingertips.

Even finer dust particles than fingerprints, when scanned with divine sense, began to take on a human form.

The sound that Yun Yici could hear just now was the sound that the other party shouted with all their might.

"Dust" said, "Are you looking for a person in red and a person in black?"

"They went to Chaomu Village with the Grand Elder."

Yun Yici realized what she meant and asked her, "Are you a demon cultivator from Chaomu Township? And isn't this Chaomu Township?"

"Dust" said helplessly, "This is the original form of my race. When I take human form, I will only have one day left to live."

“My name is Shi Xiao. This is not Chaomu Township, but the City of Bliss, the final resting place of my people, although I do not approve of it.”

"You can walk on, and I'll explain it to you slowly."

"Rest assured, we had no power before we took human form. If you wanted to kill me, it would only take you a flick of your finger."

Wu Wang immediately asked, "You are so young, why were the Imperial Decree and Lin Yu taken away by your clan's Great Elder? And what's the deal with the magical artifacts in this city?"

Shi Xiao said, "As you can see, our race is different from ordinary demons. Our original demon form is even more fragile than that of ordinary beasts."

"After taking human form, we can only live for one day, so our clan lives in Chaomu Village and never interacts with other clans."

"The person you are looking for left with our Grand Elder on his own initiative."

Shen Huaichuan said, "It seems that the Emperor's decree and Lin Yu are unaware of our arrival."

This explains why the Emperor's decree and Lin Yu didn't wait for them but instead went with the small Chaomu Clan.

Yun Yici said, "Since we're already here, let's go and see the real Chaomu Village."

The mysterious Chaomu Township is not even accurately recorded in books.

Even Wuwang, who had been to this place, thought that the City of Bliss was the Land of Dawn and Dusk, and did not know the true face of the Dawn and Dusk tribe.

Xie Qianjue thought of something very important: "They are so small that even if they were a group of people gathered together, they wouldn't be that big."

"We can't get into Chaomu Village, can we?"

Shi Xiao's fingertips twitched: "Come with me."
