The Elixir is for You, The Poison is for Me

#797 - Mystic Turbulence

Just as the weasel doctor was about to have his neck snapped,

a small red sword suddenly slashed at the back of his neck.

The other weasel doctor had never seen such a scene and immediately sat down on the ground, terrified.

However, the next moment, his companion, who was about to breathe his last, fell from the sky again, and the small sword, after slashing the giant hand that was strangling his companion, looked as if it was about to chop off his companion's head, but suddenly stopped, hovering in mid-air.

The switch between motion and stillness was extremely fast.

The other weasel doctor only felt a chill on the back of his neck before his breathing returned to normal.

Supervisor Huang revealed a hint of approval in his eyes and said to Lu Jing beside him, "Not bad, I didn't expect your flying sword to have reached this level, reaching the late stage of agility. Although it can't break all spells with one sword, it's clear that you've touched some of the basics."

As Supervisor Huang spoke, he took out a talisman, quickly walked to Jiang Yuenu, and stuck it on her chest.

The ferocious look on Jiang Yuenu's face eased slightly, and after a moment, she finally spoke, saying in a hoarse voice, "Is this... is this not my illusion?"

"No, you've already left the secret realm and returned to the Star Observation Tower," Supervisor Huang said in a deep voice.

"We escaped? We really escaped?" Jiang Yuenu said with a look of joy, and hurriedly said, "Where is Inspector Li Xin? I was able to survive entirely thanks to Inspector Li Xin's desperate rescue."

"Inspector Li is lying on the bed next to you. His condition is not bad, but he's just too tired. I didn't wake him up and plan to let him sleep for a day or two first."

Supervisor Huang didn't tell Jiang Yuenu the truth about Li Xin, because it would be too cruel for Jiang Yuenu.

After all, she only had one incense stick's worth of life left, and Supervisor Huang couldn't bear to strike her again.

After a pause, Supervisor Huang asked, "What exactly happened in the secret realm? Why did you and Li Xin say that this was all Supervisor Guo's conspiracy when you first came back?"

Jiang Yuenu didn't answer this question immediately, but first looked at her waist, then reached out and touched the bulging flesh, and then asked, "How long do I have left to live?"

"One incense stick," Supervisor Huang didn't hide this time, "Although there's still Inspector Li who can be asked, I want to hear your answer first, so we can corroborate each other, after all, the things you said before were too... unbelievable."

Unexpectedly, there wasn't much grief on Jiang Yuenu's face, she just nodded, and then said something shocking, "This trip to the secret realm was a complete trap."

"In the early stages, our progress was relatively smooth. We didn't encounter too many enemies along the way. At that time, I thought it was because the map provided by Mr. Ji was working. We didn't pay too much of a price to delve deep into the center of the secret realm."

"What kind of place is that?" Supervisor Huang asked.

This was the first time in a thousand years that someone had truly reached the center of the secret realm.

Before this, all the understanding that cultivators had of that place was only based on their own imagination and speculation.

"I can't describe the specific appearance of that place, but there's no doubt that it's full of secret power," Jiang Yuenu said, "Those secret powers are so dense that they're almost tangible. When you're in it, you don't even need to concentrate, as long as you cultivate a little, your cultivation will increase crazily. Because we experienced several battles along the way, after reaching the center of the secret realm, we first meditated and circulated our energy to replenish our secret power."

"Then we started to set up the formation according to the previous plan... to break open the cage."

"Did you succeed?"

"We succeeded."

Jiang Yuenu's words made everyone's heart sink.

Supervisor Huang pressed, "Did you really open a gap in that prison cage?"

"Yes," Jiang Yuenu said, "Actually, before we started, someone raised questions, because the center of the secret realm was too quiet, so quiet that it was a bit abnormal."

"But Supervisor Guo told us that this was because the dragon was gathering its life force, which was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us."

"Since he had already spoken, the rest of us didn't say anything else and started to set up the formation step by step. And at the moment the great formation was completed, countless secret puppets suddenly涌out from around us, quickly surrounding us."

"Someone questioned what Supervisor Guo was trying to do, but Supervisor Guo didn't say a word, just used his magic to escape outwards, as if he wanted to escape alone."

"Seeing this, we also desperately killed our way outwards, but we were one step late. At this time, those secret puppets had completely surrounded us."

They were all monsters born from the purest secret power, naturally immune to most spells, and could absorb secret power to repair their bodies. We quickly fell into a bitter battle.

"We could only fight and retreat, and the strange thing was that they clearly had the strength to defeat us in one fell swoop, but they were not in a hurry. We retreated for about one-fifth of the distance, but we were unlucky enough to encounter a chaotic flow of secret power."

Speaking of the chaotic flow of secret power, a look of horror appeared in Jiang Yuenu's eyes.

Because this was the most terrifying thing in the secret realm, a disaster for all cultivators.

In the chaotic flow of secret power, no one knows how the secret power will be arranged and combined. Most of the time, such combinations are meaningless.

But once certain specific combinations are formed, corresponding spells will be generated.

Imagine a fireball spell forming less than a foot from your cheek, which is definitely not something you want to encounter, but this is still good in the chaotic flow of secret power.

Known spells mean that cultivators can still find ways to deal with them. The most terrifying thing is those unheard-of spells that are born in the chaotic flow of secret power.

For example, the constantly wriggling muscles under Jiang Yuenu's body, and the hardening of Li Xin's body, which simply cannot be broken.

Supervisor Huang's eyes flickered slightly, "Do you think those secret puppets were consciously driving you into the chaotic flow of secret power?"

"I don't know," Jiang Yuenu shook her head, "They shouldn't have souls and consciousness, and they wouldn't think, they would only instinctively attack those who absorb secret power from the secret realm, but the group of secret puppets we encountered were indeed... advancing and retreating in an orderly manner, and the timing of their appearance was too coincidental."
