Master fell into evil? I took the blame for the heroine

After hearing the answer from the Floating Fairy, Luo He's doubts were slightly relieved, but he still did not completely let down his guard against the two maids.

He took a deep breath and slowly withdrew his gaze, trying his best to avoid eye contact with the maid.

"Very good." Another maid nodded, seeming to be very satisfied with Luo He's performance, and then said softly: "In that case, we can take you in."

They put away the gourds in their hands and watched the floating fairy take Luo He and Yu Chuchu into Guanxiang Pavilion.

As the door slowly opened, a faint fragrance came to my ears, like some kind of psychedelic spice, making my consciousness become a little hazy.

The floating fairy walked lightly, as if she was in complete control of the atmosphere of Guanxiang Pavilion. The two maids stood outside the door, watching them leave with a thoughtful look in their eyes.

"go in."

The floating fairy's voice was still cold, as if she had expected all this: "Guanxiang Pavilion is not just an ordinary place. Remember, you must be careful in everything you do."

Luo He and Yu Chuchu looked at each other, then followed the floating fairy in.

The door of Guanxiang Pavilion slowly closed, and with a slight vibration, the atmosphere around it also quietly changed.

The fragrance in the air became stronger and stronger, almost suffocating. Under the cover of this fragrance, Luo He became more and more nervous. He knew that he had stepped into an unknown and dangerous place.

But under the guidance of the floating fairy, he still had to move forward, because this time, he and Yu Chuchu had been involved in this complicated conspiracy.

Chapter 196: Infinite Tsukuyomi?

The door of Guanxiang Pavilion slowly closed behind him, making a dull roar, as if announcing that everything in the outside world was completely isolated from this place.

Luo He and Yu Chuchu followed the floating fairy's steps forward. The light around them gradually dimmed, as if they had entered a deep fog.

The air was filled with a complex fragrance, initially just a faint floral scent, but the further you went in, the stronger the fragrance became, mixed with a strange taste of bitterness and sweetness.

Luo He took a deep breath and felt as if his chest had been gently patted, his mind slightly shaken. He frowned, and his internal energy circulated slightly, trying to resist this strange influence.

"This aroma is unusual."

Luo He whispered to Yu Chuchu, a hint of caution in his eyes.

Yu Chuchu also felt it. She raised her hand to cover her mouth and nose and nodded slightly: "Hmm... It seems to disturb people's minds. Husband, we have to be careful."

The floating fairy was obviously already aware of the environment here. Her steps were light and steady, and the aura from her body exuded a subtle pressure, as if isolating the fragrance around her.

The floating fairies in the Nascent Soul stage have a strong ability to isolate fragrance.

Without turning back, she simply said, "The fragrance of Guanxiang Pavilion is not only meant to confuse intruders, but also a test. Only those who can withstand this fragrance can truly gain a foothold here."

Hearing this, Luo He secretly circulated the Dao Qi within his body, eliminating the aroma that was gradually invading his consciousness. As they continued to move forward, the scene before them gradually became clearer.

The decoration inside Guanxiang Pavilion is extremely luxurious. The hall is dotted with countless lamps inlaid with spirit stones, emitting a soft light and illuminating the surroundings.

Exquisite scroll paintings were hung on the walls, depicting fairies and demons in various postures. Their gazes moved slightly as the crowd moved, as if they were living things, revealing an enchanting beauty.

The ground was covered with thick animal skin carpet, and you could feel the soft elasticity with every step you took.

There are several huge incense burners in the center of the hall, with purple-black spices burning in them. The curling smoke swirls in the air, forming faint runes.

These runes sometimes gather together and sometimes disperse, as if conveying some kind of information.

"This place is so... luxurious..."

There was a hint of timidity in Yu Chuchu's voice.

Her eyes wandered around, and although she tried to stay as close to Luo He as possible, the fragrance obviously had a greater impact on her than Luo He. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and her eyes became a little blurry.

Seeing this, Luo He reached out and gently held her wrist, transmitting a trace of Taoist energy to help her calm her mind.

Yu Chuchu suddenly felt a cool force flowing into her body, and her consciousness, which had been disturbed by the fragrance, gradually returned to clarity.

"Husband..." she murmured softly, her eyes full of dependence.

"Don't think about anything else, just focus on your breathing."

Luo He warned softly, his eyes fixed on the front. He knew that this place was not just for displaying luxury; the strange aura and decorations all hinted at danger.

At this moment, a low laugh came from the depths of the hall. The sound seemed to come from all directions, carrying an oppressive feeling that could not be ignored.

"Floating Fairy, I didn't expect you to come in person."

Along with the sound, a tall man slowly walked out from the shadows.

He was dressed in a black robe embroidered with intricate golden patterns that faintly emanated a spiritual aura. His face was handsome yet aloof, with a hint of amusement in his eyes, as if he was quite surprised by the arrival of the floating fairy.

The floating fairy stopped and looked at the man expressionlessly, her tone indifferent: "I came here today for an important matter. I hope you won't ask too many questions."

The man chuckled when he heard this, but his eyes fell on Luo He and Yu Chuchu.

His eyes swept across the two of them like a knife, especially lingering on Luo He for a longer time, as if he was examining his prey.

"Are these two your subordinates?"

The corners of the man's mouth rose slightly, revealing a meaningful smile: "Especially this one... is quite interesting."

Luo He felt the man's gaze and became even more alert.

He could sense that the aura of the person before him was extremely strong, and his strength was probably far beyond the Golden Core Stage. Despite this, he remained calm, nodding slightly in response, but did not speak.

The floating fairy took a step forward, slightly blocking Luo He, and said coldly: "They are my people, and have nothing to do with you. If you want to make an unnecessary move, I will not show mercy."

The man was slightly startled when he heard this, then burst into laughter, but a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.

He shrugged, took a step back, and said with a hint of joking: "Okay, okay... Since you are the fairy's guest, I naturally dare not act rashly. Please feel free to do as you please."

The floating fairy glanced at him coldly, then continued to lead Luo He and Yu Chuchu deeper into the hall.

Luo He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but his vigilance did not decrease. He knew that the danger of Guanxiang Pavilion had just begun.

Yu Chuchu grabbed Luo He's arm and whispered, "Husband, the people here are so strange... I'm a little scared."

Luo He patted the back of her hand gently and comforted her softly, "Don't worry, I'm here."

The floating fairy looked back at them, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes, but she didn't say much, just continued walking forward.

Luo He knew that they would face an even greater test next, and the true secret of Guanxiang Pavilion was probably far more complicated and dangerous than what they saw before them.

The three of them continued to go deeper along the corridor in the center of the hall. The fragrance around them became stronger and stronger, gradually becoming sticky, as if turning into an invisible restraint.

Luo He felt that the fragrance seemed to be searching for some kind of gap, trying to penetrate his body. He secretly circulated his Dao Qi to protect his mind and repel the invading force.

Yu Chuchu was obviously not as steady as Luo He. Her breathing became rapid, the blush on her face became more obvious, and she even snuggled up to Luo He gently, trying to find some sense of security from him.

The floating fairy noticed this, stopped, and glanced at her calmly: "Control yourself. The fragrance of Guanxiang Pavilion can explore the desires deep in your heart. If you are affected too deeply, it may lead to unexpected consequences."

Yu Chuchu was awakened a little by this cold reminder. She pursed her lips and nodded vigorously, but still stood up with some difficulty.

Seeing this, Luo He put his hand on her back and slowly passed a stream of cool Taoist energy into her. Only then did Yu Chuchu calm down a little and looked at Luo He with gratitude.

"Husband, I'm fine." She whispered, with a hint of stubbornness in her tone.

Luo He nodded without saying anything, but adjusted his pace slightly and kept her by his side.

He glanced around and discovered some strange runes on the walls on both sides of the corridor. Those runes flowed like living things, sometimes gathering together, sometimes dispersing, and emitting a strange glow.

Are these runes emitting demonic energy?

Luo He speculated secretly. His gaze fixed on a certain rune, and he felt a faint sense of a captivating power, as if trying to peek into his heart. Luo He quickly withdrew his gaze, holding his breath and concentrating, maintaining a calm mind.

The floating fairy seemed to notice his reaction and said calmly, "These runes are part of the Guanxiang Pavilion, used to screen the willpower of those entering. Don't look at them too much, just stay focused."

Luo He nodded and turned his attention back to the front.

At this time, a tall archway finally appeared at the end of the corridor.

The archway is surrounded by intricate patterns, inlaid with many crystal spirit stones. Those spirit stones emit a soft light, forming a strange echo with the runes on the wall.

The floating fairy walked to the archway, raised her hand and knocked lightly three times.

The archway made a low humming sound, then slowly opened, and an even stronger aroma wafted into the air, mixed with a slightly sweet smell that made one hold their breath involuntarily.

Luo He subconsciously frowned, while Yu Chuchu subconsciously tightened her grip on his arm. The Floating Fairy turned to look at them and said calmly, "This is the core area of ​​Guanxiang Pavilion. You need to be more cautious in everything that happens next."

Luo He and Yu Chuchu looked at each other, nodded at the same time, and followed the floating fairy into the archway.

After entering the core area, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed.

The space here is more open than the hall, but the atmosphere is extremely weird.

In the center is a huge circular square, the ground is paved with transparent colored glaze. Beneath the colored glaze seems to be sealed some kind of surging purple-black mist, and vague figures can be seen twisting in it.

There are dozens of incense burners scattered around the square, each of which is exquisitely shaped. The smoke drifting from above condenses into the shapes of various strange beasts, floating in the air vaguely.

"The fragrance here can affect mental strength."

Luo He followed the Floating Fairy and Yu Chuchu through a long corridor filled with thick purple smoke and into the depths of Guanxiang Pavilion. The atmosphere here was even more eerie, with dim lights dotted with flickering spirit lanterns. The lights had a strange purple hue, constantly casting illusory images.

There was an undeniable sense of oppression in the air, as if countless pairs of eyes were secretly watching their every move.

The floating fairy walked calmly, neither fast nor slow, as if she didn't care about anything around her.

Luo He and Yu Chuchu followed closely behind, but always remained highly alert.

He was full of questions, but he knew it was unwise to ask them rashly in this environment.

It wasn't until they reached a relatively empty space and the fragrance around them had thinned out a bit that Luo He carefully spoke to the floating fairy using telepathy: "Sister Youyou, what exactly are we here for? Can you tell us now?"

The floating fairy did not respond immediately, but looked around calmly, as if to confirm that there was no potential danger.

After a moment, her eyes flickered slightly, and she said in a serious tone, "Since you asked, I won't hide it from you. Our current location is only the outer area of ​​Guanxiang Pavilion. Next, we need to go deep into the true core to enter the 'Yin Yang Spiritual Realm'."

Luo He frowned slightly, puzzled: "Yin Yang Spiritual Realm? Isn't it opened during the birthday party outside?"

A cold light flashed in the eyes of the floating fairy, and she continued to transmit, "Five days later, the Venerable Nan Tian will open the Yin-Yang Spiritual Realm to all attendees at the birthday banquet. Ostensibly, this is to allow everyone to enter the spiritual realm to seek opportunities and obtain cultivation resources, but in reality—"

She paused and added coldly, "This is just a huge conspiracy."

"Conspiracy?" Luo He's heart skipped a beat, and his expression turned serious. He subconsciously glanced at Yu Chuchu, who also showed the same confused expression.

The floating fairy continued, "The Yin-Yang Spiritual Realm outside appears to be an illusion for treasure hunting, but in reality it is an elaborate trap. Any cultivator who enters will be trapped in a false illusion, unable to distinguish between truth and falsehood."

"And these illusions are not ordinary beings. Instead, they use secret methods to gradually extract the cultivator's soul power and life force, eventually becoming 'nutrients'."

Luo He heard this, his expression becoming even uglier: "Become nutrients? Supplying whom?"

"Reverend Nan Tian."

Fairy Fuyou said coldly, "His true purpose is to use this birthday banquet to harness the power of the numerous cultivators to aid his own breakthrough to the Divine Transformation Stage. The Yin-Yang Spiritual Realm itself is hidden deep within Guanxiang Pavilion, and the so-called birthday banquet in five days is just a cover. In reality, the banquet attendees will be led into a false spiritual realm, while Venerable Nantian will use these nutrients to achieve his own breakthrough in the real Yin-Yang Spiritual Realm."

After hearing this, Luo He felt a chill down his spine.

Although he had long heard of the cruelty of the world of immortal cultivation, this conspiracy still shocked and angered him. He couldn't help but ask, "So, are we here to stop this?"

The floating fairy nodded, her eyes sharp as a knife. "Indeed. We must find the core of the Yin-Yang Spiritual Realm before it fully activates, and then destroy its core through the method of breaking the realm. Otherwise, if the Southern Sky Master's plan succeeds, everyone will become his victim."

A thought flashed through Luo He's mind quickly. All this was very similar to some legendary magic.

Isn't this Infinite Tsukuyomi?

Chapter 197: Guess what this room is for us?

Upon learning of the floating fairy's plan, Luo He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Sister Youyou is really good at playing Mission Impossible.

"Any more doubts?"

"No, just be careful and don't reveal your identity, okay?"

"Ah."

The floating fairy nodded and led Luo He and Yu Chuchu deeper into Guanxiang Pavilion. Her steps were calm, yet there was a hint of oppression.

Her figure looked particularly cool and elegant under the dark purple light, while Luo He and Yu Chuchu followed closely behind her, their hearts full of vigilance and uneasiness.

Deep in Guanxiang Pavilion, the air became heavier and the fragrance was so strong that it was almost suffocating.

Every step seemed to be walking between dreams and reality. The light flickered and the walls were covered with illegible runes, emitting a faint red light.

This place is completely different from the space outside, as if entering a strange area full of temptation and danger.

As they walked, the three of them finally arrived at a spacious hall.

A strange aroma filled the hall, and the curved light in the air made the entire space seem to be constantly changing.

There was a group of people of all kinds sitting in the hall, some standing and some sitting, each gathered together in different postures.

Some wore gorgeous golden robes, with a hint of arrogance in their eyes; some wore strange armor, exuding a violent aura; and some simply wore white gauze, with an elusive smile on their faces.
