Then, Mu Anxiao turned to Gu Xiao and asked, "Why didn't you just now?"
"I thought I misheard."
"You..."
"Alright, maybe they smelled the immortal aura, and that's why they ran away."
Feng Qishi said this, but a bad premonition arose in his heart, because he knew that those monsters were afraid of no one except the demon lord.
Yet, in this place, they hadn't appeared, which made him concerned.
But to avoid causing Mu Anxiao fear, he didn't say anything more.
However, Feng Qishi wasn't aware that Mu Anxiao had also seen through it.
"I don't think so," she shook her head slightly.
Feng Qishi asked, "Why do you say that?"
"Because," Mu Anxiao glanced at the red lanterns hanging above, "these lanterns are not colored with ordinary pigment but blood red. Do you know what that signifies?" She turned to Feng Qishi.
Feng Qishi asked, "Signifies what?"
Mu Anxiao narrowed her eyes, "It signifies that these lanterns are dyed with demon blood."
"Why isn't it human blood?" Gu Xiao asked.
Mu Anxiao, "Because no human will ever come here, only demons."
"....." Feng Qishi.
Gu Xiao looked terrified, "They don't eat demon souls, do they?"
"They do," Mu Anxiao uttered the word with certainty, and then conjured a silver rope, "Shen Xian wants us to die."
Listening to Mu Anxiao's analysis, Feng Qishi looked at her with newfound admiration.
"You've figured it out," he said deliberately.
Mu Anxiao nodded, "Yes, Piao should be here."
"Why do you say that?"
"Because they are afraid of demons. I think he must be helping us from the shadows."
At this moment, Mu Anxiao couldn't think of anything else because she knew those monsters feared demons. If there were no demons around, they would never have peace.
"It's not him."
"Then who?" Mu Anxiao was curious.
Feng Qishi, "The soul sword that pierced your body yesterday, do you still remember it?"
Soul sword, how could Mu Anxiao forget? But, in her understanding, the soul sword was an object of the underworld, and it seemed to have nothing to do with demons.
Why was Feng Qishi saying this? She was very concerned!
"I remember, what's wrong?" she asked.
"That is from the demon realm. With it in hand, I don't think they would dare to approach."
"You have it?"
"Yes, but it's inconvenient for me to give it to you."
"To me?"
"He chose you," Feng Qishi said seriously.
Mu Anxiao knew her own capabilities. Yesterday, she was merely an immortal with six layers of spiritual energy. For the soul sword to choose her, she couldn't comprehend it at all!
What's more, that thing was an item from the demon realm. Thinking about it this way, it was even more impossible.
Thinking thus, she shook her head, "Impossible."
"I also think it's impossible, but the fact is, it is."
"I don't believe it."
"You..."
Listening to their back-and-forth conversation, Gu Xiao felt a sense of unease, "You two, stop talking about the soul sword for now. It seems that demon lord wants to trap us here and watch us die."
At the same time, Feng Qishi and Mu Anxiao fell silent. After exchanging a glance, Mu Anxiao said, "I know."
"You know what?" Feng Qishi asked.
Mu Anxiao, "This cave has a weakness. Its weakness is the lanterns. As long as these lanterns are destroyed, we can find Shen Xian."
"You figured that out too quickly!"
"....." Mu Anxiao had been observing since the moment they entered.
Therefore, considering what Wu Huishing and Feng Qishi had said, she concluded that this was also an illusion.
The weakness of that illusion was the lanterns.
"You work too, don't be lazy," Mu Anxiao glanced at Gu Xiao.
Gu Xiao, wanting to save his own life, responded with determination, "Okay!"
Feng Qishi had been expecting Mu Anxiao to be afraid, but seeing her like this, he felt relieved, "Then let's begin!"
"Okay."
After Mu Anxiao responded, Feng Qishi conjured his long sword, and they split up to destroy the lanterns.
A few minutes later...
The three of them landed together, then stood back to back, looking up at the intact lanterns with knitted brows.
Mu Anxiao asked, "Strange? Why didn't it work?"
"No need to be surprised, one of them is the weakness," Feng Qishi gripped the sword hilt.
One of them.
They couldn't even count the number of lanterns here, and the cave itself was peculiar. At a glance, they couldn't see an end to it. This would be exhausting to search for.
Thinking this, Mu Anxiao became indignant, "Shen Xian is truly insidious."
"He is indeed insidious," Gu Xiao agreed.
Ever since being injured by Shen Xian, Feng Qishi had felt a strange sensation.
Now, looking at everything before him, he felt both familiar and unfamiliar.
Gazing at the lanterns, a woman suddenly appeared in his vision. The woman's face was blurry, and he couldn't see her clearly, which made him concerned.
"Who is she?" he mumbled, his heart beginning to feel constricted.
Upon hearing this, Mu Anxiao turned to Feng Qishi and asked, "What's wrong?"
"....." Feng Qishi's hand holding the sword trembled twice before the sword fell to the ground.
Hearing the clanging sound of the long sword hitting the ground, Mu Anxiao suddenly sensed something was amiss.
Following a gust of wind, she glanced at Gu Xiao, who was still observing their surroundings, then quickly stepped forward to circle in front of Feng Qishi, asking, "What's wrong?" She reached out and patted Feng Qishi's shoulder.
Feng Qishi narrowed his eyes and looked coldly at Mu Anxiao, asking, "Who are you?"
Mu Anxiao, seeing Feng Qishi's sudden descent into madness, began to feel nervous, "I'm Mu Anxiao. Who am I? Shen Fengzi, what's wrong with you?"
"Mu Anxiao, who is that?"
"Hey? You don't recognize me?"
At this critical juncture, encountering such a situation, Mu Anxiao felt overwhelmed!
Then, she reached out and grabbed Feng Qishi's arm, asking, "Do you know what your name is?"
"Me?" Feng Qishi uttered the word and, without thinking, asked, "Who am I?"
"You are Shen Fengzi, Feng Qishi."
Feng Qishi said coldly, "I am not Feng Qishi, I am Shen Yan."
As expected, his mind was in disarray.
Mu Anxiao felt exasperated by this.
The next second, she took a deep breath and patiently said, "Your past life was Shen Yan, your later life is Feng Qishi. You are Feng Qishi now."
Zhang Yan had once said that if an immortal were to be guided by memories in the demon realm, they must not follow them. They must firmly tell the immortal their identity, thereby taking control of the guidance and awakening them.
Initially, Mu Anxiao thought she would never encounter such a situation and was very confident, thinking, "I will never encounter such a thing!"
Who knew... she was wrong! She had encountered such a thing after all!
"You are Feng Qishi, Feng Qishi," Mu Anxiao said firmly.
