Oh my god, this is a bolt from the blue! A true heiress of metaphysics!

"Xia Xia!"

"Xia Xia——"

"Xia Xia."

......

One shout after another reached Shi Xiaxia's ears.

Shi Xiaxia suddenly opened her eyes and found herself in the sect of her original world.

"How is this going?"

Before Xiaxia could even ask herself a question, a person dressed in sect uniform and covered in blood suddenly crawled over from a distance and grabbed her ankle.

"Senior Sister Xiaxia..."

The man spoke with difficulty as he coughed up blood, his voice filled with despair and sorrow.

"Senior Sister Xiaxia, why did you leave so suddenly? Without you, the sect is completely unable to resist the ghost cultivators! They killed us all, and the sect was wiped out!"

"Senior Sister Xiaxia!"

His other hands gripped Shi Xiaxia tightly, his fingers digging deep into her skin as if he wanted to tear her apart.

"Why did you disappear?! Why didn't you show up in time to protect us?!"

"Xiaxia! Shi Xiaxia!"

More and more people rushed forward, grabbing Shi Xiaxia's clothes, arms, and even hair with all their might.

Their eyes were filled with resentment and anger as they shouted, "It's all because of you! It's all your fault! If it weren't for you, how could we have died here?!"

Shi Xiaxia stared blankly at the crazy people in front of her, her heart filled with doubt and shock.

She didn't understand what had happened to the sect, nor did she know why everyone hated her so much.

She tried hard to break free from the constraints of the crowd, but found herself powerless.

"What are you talking about?!"

Shi Xiaxia was moved by the tragic scene of everyone and the sect, and her voice was trembling with tears.

Shi Xiaxia's tears slid down her cheeks: "What happened to the sect?! What happened to you all?! Everything was fine before I left?!"

Just then, an old man with a white beard stepped out from the crowd.

He walked steadily, his gaze sharp as a hawk fixed on Shi Xiaxia, step by step, until he stood before her.

However, he was also covered in blood and had countless wounds on his body, as if he had fought to the death with many people.

"You are not Shi Xiaxia!"

The old man's voice was deep and powerful, ringing in Shi Xiaxia's ears like a booming bell: "Who exactly are you?! And how did you take over Shi Xiaxia's body?!"

"Master...I..."

Shi Xiaxia stared wide-eyed at the old man with a look of terror on her face.

She wanted to explain something, but her throat felt blocked, and she couldn't make a sound.

How come she... isn't Shi Xiaxia anymore?!

She always...

Before Shi Xiaxia could explain, Qiao Zihao suddenly appeared from somewhere.

His face was filled with terror and anger as he pointed at Shi Xiaxia and shouted, "You're not Shi Xiaxia! Who are you?!"

I don't like you! I like Shi Xiaxia! Give me back my Xiaxia!

Upon hearing this, Shi Xiaxia's heart sank. She stared wide-eyed at Qiao Zihao in disbelief.

At this moment, Shi Fanghai also walked over. He frowned and questioned Shi Xiaxia with a serious expression: "Who are you?! Where did you take my daughter?! Did you kill my daughter?!"

Immediately afterwards, Shi Fuxi also appeared in front of Shi Xiaxia, his face also full of doubt and worry.

He asked anxiously, "What did you do to my sister?! Give my sister back right now!"

Faced with the questions from these familiar people, Shi Xiaxia felt her mind was in complete chaos.

She tried to explain, but found herself at a loss for words.

What exactly is going on?

"I..." Shi Xiaxia opened her mouth, wanting to explain.

Just then, Shi Xiaxia suddenly realized that something was wrong.

She muttered to herself, "No!"

As Shi Xiaxia closed her eyes and began to silently recite the meditation mantra, everything around her became blurry.

When she opened her eyes again, the scene before her had completely disappeared.

"A nightmare?" Shi Xiaxia muttered to herself.

Those who cultivate the Tao do not usually dream.

She took a deep breath, trying to banish the horrific scene from her mind, and then closed her eyes again.

When she opened her eyes again, the top of the tent came into view.

At this moment, Cheng Yajun was lying next to Shi Xiaxia, constantly groaning in pain.

"Nightmare..."

Shi Xiaxia's eyes darkened, and she took out a talisman from her pocket, activated it with her spiritual power, and then circled it around Cheng Yajun's head.

Then Cheng Yajun's previously distorted expression gradually returned to calm, and she then fell into a deep sleep again.

After completing this series of actions, before Shi Xiaxia could even think about the reasons behind them, she suddenly heard screams of pain from others.

First came Su Zhizhi's terrified scream: "Bear! Don't chase me... Ah! Don't eat me—"

Immediately afterward, Hanayo screamed hysterically, "No... I don't want it! It's fake! Fake, fake, fake, ah—"

Before long, Zhao Wu and Song Yifeng also started shouting loudly, but they still couldn't hear Zhu Xing's voice.

Shi Xiaxia thought to herself, it seems that Zhu Xing has also successfully resolved this nightmare.

Shi Xiaxia listened quietly to the screams of the people around her, her thoughts gradually becoming heavy.

The harmless black bear, the nightmares of the sleeping people, and everything happening before their eyes all seemed to match what Rat Baby had said; the mountain god was indeed preventing them from getting closer.

Shi Xiaxia didn't know what the mountain god wanted to do, so she didn't make any rash moves and could only lie quietly in the tent, listening carefully to the sounds outside.

The surroundings were unusually quiet; even the faintest sound could be clearly heard.

At this moment, Liu Shang lowered his voice and asked, "Hey! Tour guide, what exactly is going on?!"

Mouse waved his hand dismissively and said, "It's just a nightmare! It won't hurt anyone, don't worry about it. They'll wake up in a bit."

As soon as Shubao finished speaking, Huaye suddenly let out a terrified scream, followed by a series of chaotic footsteps, which sounded like someone running out of the tent in a panic.

Shi Xiaxia peeked out through the gaps in the tent and saw Hua Ye looking around in terror.

She felt a little more at ease when she saw Shu Bao and Liu Shang leaning against the trees.

Hana took a deep breath, but her voice still trembled slightly: "Oh no... I'm sorry, I just had a nightmare..."
