You Tell Me, Can I See You or Not!

Chu Xinghe swore to the heavens that he really didn't do anything this time... He just wanted to have a big "Gong Xi Fa Cai" (Wishing you prosperity) chorus with his junior brothers and sisters.

After all, my junior brothers and sisters came all this way and got nothing in return. If I don't learn a song to take back with me, won't I feel bad for them?

I just wanted to have a big chorus in this boring and dull ruin. What did I do to deserve this?

But we just got to the part where they say "If you don't like it, please leave"... and then suddenly this gray, hazy barrier appears in front of us?!

Where's this supposedly godforsaken place?

Chu Xinghe quickly saw what was happening behind the barrier.

It was a village... a village shrouded in a dark mist, appearing and disappearing in the distance.

The village looked lifeless, filled with an eerie silence.

As Chu Xinghe slowly approached, he began to pray in his heart, "Please, stop messing around... City of Dark Moon is supposed to be the center, what is this village?"

Don't just randomly present me with a village full of rare treasures, okay?

Just as Chu Xinghe was praying to the heavens that nothing unexpected would happen, a dark mist suddenly drifted out from the village. The mist was very fast and reached the head of the junior brother in the front almost instantly.

The mist lunged at his junior brother like a shark that had spotted blood.

"Retreat!" Chu Xinghe roared, a white light flashed on his arm, Evil Repeller appeared in mid-air.

The token-like Evil Repeller arrived beside the junior brother in the blink of an eye. In an instant, the Evil- Evil Repeller Staff shone with Evil Repeller light, and the seemingly malevolent black mist shattered on the spot under its illumination.

But this black mist shattered, and the other black mists, as if enraged, surged out and enveloped everyone.

As Chu Xinghe watched the black mist rushing towards him, he directed the Evil Repeller to block it while simultaneously pulling out the Flute of Space and Time with immense joy.

The moment I emerged from the maze, I was already thinking, how the hell am I going to find a suitable excuse to shatter the Flute of Space and Time and leave?

After all, isn't it a bit unreasonable to simply crush the Flute of Space and Time and leave when there's absolutely no danger?

On the way to City of Dark Moon, Chu Xinghe was practically cursing...

What kind of garbage ruins are these? If you were even slightly dangerous, I would have used the Flute of Space and Time spot. What does it mean that you're completely safe?

But now, God has finally opened his eyes...

This black mist looks really menacing, doesn't it? For the safety of my junior brothers and sisters, I simply crushed the Flute of Space and Time and left. Isn't that perfectly reasonable?

What are you waiting for?

Without the slightest hesitation, Chu Xinghe used the Evil Repeller- Repelling Sword to protect everyone, and the next second he crushed the Flute of Space and Time!

"Buzz..." A burst of white light erupted from the Flute of Space and Time, instantly enveloping everyone within it.

The teleportation beam shot into the sky. This time, without the protection of the Nine Stars Concentric Grand Formation, nothing could stop the teleportation.

The teleportation was activated very quickly...

In a flash of white light, Chu Xinghe felt his body twist and contort, and the next second...

The surrounding scenery... seems unchanged?

A village is still a village... a barrier is still a barrier... black mist... and still black mist?

What the hell is this? Is it teleportation again?

What kind of rubbish is this Flute of Space and Time? Was this thing designed to rip me off from the very day it was created?

But Chu Xinghe quickly realized that this wasn't a teleportation to the same spot, because... why did that area in the distance look so familiar?

How could it not look familiar? Isn't that where we were just standing? Look, that black mist is still drifting and drifting over there...

And right now, where are we all... inside the barrier?

So... the Flute of Space and Time teleported successfully, but the landing point was a bit out of place... We teleported directly from outside the barrier to inside it?

So we're currently in a village?

Not only was Chu Xinghe numb, but his junior brothers and sisters were numb too...

Senior Brother Xinghe... can you explain our current situation?

Forget about the junior disciples, even the black mist paused for a few seconds, completely caught off guard... What was the meaning of this reverse teleportation?

Chu Xinghe quickly realized that it wasn't the Flute of Space and Time that was malfunctioning; it was the village itself that was the problem...

I could clearly see the teleportation trajectory. The Flute of Space and Time was supposed to take everyone away, but at the moment the teleportation started, an inexplicable force changed the trajectory, which is why we inexplicably ended up in this village.

"Evil Repeller! Go!" Chu Xinghe didn't care about anything else. He swung Evil Repeller in his hand and blasted it towards the barrier. Since the Flute of Space and Time couldn't take everyone away, he would blast open the barrier and get out first.

However, when the Evil Repeller struck the barrier, something unbelievable happened to Chu Xinghe.

It's clear that this barrier isn't something normal. Evil Repeller, but Evil Repeller it can restrain the barrier, it can't shake it at all.

It's like the idea that water can extinguish fire, but what if it's a drop of water against a sea of fire?

The power of this barrier was too great, and his cultivation level was too low, Evil Repeller couldn't unleash its full potential and was unable to break the barrier at all.

The surrounding black mist also reacted at this moment, transforming into thousands upon thousands of tentacles that frantically pounced on everyone from all directions.

Ignoring the need to further shake the black mist, Chu Xinghe summoned the Evil Repeller to appear above everyone's heads. The Evil Repeller light shone forth, instantly blocking all the black mist from entering.

"Squeeze the Flute of Space and Time!" Chu Xinghe roared at the crowd, and in an instant, streaks of white light flashed continuously.

But soon, something unbelievable happened: all the white light dissipated upon contact with the black mist, Flute of Space and Time was unable to break through the black mist's blockade.

The junior brothers and sisters, who were not very worldly-wise, were now completely panicked.

"What's the panic! This black mist can't penetrate the Evil Repeller Blockade at all; we're safe."

As Chu Xinghe spoke, the surrounding panic subsided considerably. Chu Xinghe looked utterly helpless. "If I'd known this would happen at the ruins, I would have definitely taken Ma Liang and the others with me..."

Although they were extremely skilled at backstabbing, unsurprisingly, these junior brothers and sisters weren't very good at it, but these surprises kept coming one after another.

Fortunately Evil Repeller were powerful enough, and the divine light could continuously block all the black mist that wanted to attack, so everyone was safe for the time being.

Chu Xinghe looked at the village behind him. This village, filled with deathly aura, was like a monstrous beast ready to devour anyone. But there was nothing he could do; there was nowhere else to go but this village.

After resting for a few minutes and waiting for everyone to calm down, Chu Xinghe led the team towards the village.

Soon, everyone arrived at the village entrance. The black fog grew thicker and thicker, enveloping the entire village. At the edge of the fog, it seemed as if some terrifying creature might jump out at any moment.

"Flying Locust!" The sword light flashed, and the Flying Locust split into sword shadows. In an instant, a Light-Severing Formation that floated in the air took shape, protecting everyone in the array. At the same time, the Suspended Shears Sword Wings were activated to protect themselves close to their bodies.

But just as Chu Xinghe's formation was taking shape, something happened that made Chu Xinghe's scalp tingle.

The newly formed Light-Severing Formation suddenly began to operate automatically...

This was a sign of an enemy, but the problem was... Chu Xinghe carefully looked around, but there was no sign of any enemy at all.

Is this some kind of ghost? But that's even more strange; the Evil Repeller is still radiating divine light from it! A ghost of ordinary level couldn't possibly escape its grasp Evil Repeller, right?

What? There's an Emperor-level ghost here?

Chu Xinghe once again activated the Evil Repeller- Repelling Divine Light, wanting to see if there was really something hidden inside. But before Chu Xinghe could make a move, an almost imperceptible fluctuation suddenly appeared on his neck.

It was a knife... an invisible knife... The knife instantly sliced through the skin of Chu Xinghe's neck, but just as it was about to cut open Chu Xinghe's throat, countless sword beams burst forth from Chu Xinghe's body.

Suspended Shears Sword Wings!

A terrifying sword wing burst forth, directly deflecting the invisible blade away, but even so, Chu Xinghe was covered in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, he had concealed the Suspended Shears Sword Wings on his body, otherwise this strike might have taken his life.

As the sword wings flapped, it clashed with the unseen blade many times in the air, but apart from the sensation of the collisions, it couldn't see any human shadow at all.

I had heard the Grand Elder say that there were some people in this world who could use invisibility to ambush and assassinate, but who had ever heard of someone using invisibility to stand face-to-face with me and not be detected?

What the hell is this thing?

Without giving a second thought, Chu Xinghe held nothing back!

Thunder Shadow! White Rainbow! Appear!

All the divine swords in the Haotian Sword Casket flew out, Chu Xinghe unleashed his full power.

But just as the White Rainbow flew out, a scene that left Chu Xinghe completely dumbfounded appeared.

As the White Rainbow flew out, a faint light wave, visible only to itself, rippled outwards. As the light wave swept across, a phantom appeared all around, gradually revealing its form beneath the light wave.

It was a person completely shrouded in darkness, and this person was standing less than half a meter away from me, almost face to face!

And the knife he was holding... it was clearly the same one that had almost killed him just now.

Chu Xinghe stared at the person in utter bewilderment, utterly Dharma Aspect this person could remain undetected despite being so close to him!

However, while Chu Xinghe was bewildered, the other party was even more bewildered.

When Chu Xinghe first looked at him, he didn't think anything of it, but when Chu Xinghe looked him up and down, he was stunned.

"You... can you see me?"

"Slap..." Chu Xinghe answered his question with a resounding slap.

Do you think I can even see you? You've got your face practically shoved in my face!

As Chu Xinghe slapped the man across the face, sending him flying, his Suspended Shears Sword Wings transformed into countless sword shadows that swept directly towards him. In an instant, countless sword shadows pierced through his body, and the man was riddled with holes by Chu Xinghe's Suspended Shears Sword Wings while still in mid-air.

Just as Chu Xinghe breathed a sigh of relief, the guy who had been riddled with stabs rolled on the ground and actually stood up again?

What the hell is this monster? How come it's still alive?

Before Chu Xinghe could figure it out, the man riddled with stabs shouted, "He can see me... He can see me! Hahaha... He can see me!"

As he shouted, countless figures converged on this side from all directions.

Chu Xinghe was completely dumbfounded... Wait... what on earth is this thing?

And... is this how you guys always call for backup?
