The full moon hung high. There was no wind on Mingling Island, no chirping insects—only utter silence.
At the edge of the Flying Island, a streak of golden light cut through the sky and landed, revealing Chen Mu.
He reached slightly beyond the island's edge and soon touched an invisible barrier.
"Five Directions Banner."
Chen Mu frowned and raised a foot, intending to force his way through, but suddenly stopped.
"Does Jiang Daojun know about the changes on the island?"
After thinking briefly, his expression turned grave.
"All the Dao Soldiers have fallen into the Mili Dreamscape, yet Jiang Daojun has shown no reaction."
"Either he has also been caught in it, or... or he knows perfectly well and is deliberately standing by!"
If it was the former, then Chen Mu only needed to break through the barrier and leave quickly.
But if it was the latter...
"He wants to use the Mili Dreamscape to seal off news of Mingling Island's Spirit Eye!"
"If I force my way through the Five Directions Banner barrier, I'll definitely alert him."
"If he discovers that I not only broke free of the dreamscape but also intend to flee Mingling Island..."
Chen Mu's scalp prickled.
Jiang Daojun had cultivated the Heavenly Demon True Form and was comparable to a Primordial Spirit Qi Refining cultivator. He was an entire major realm above Chen Mu—practically a different species on a different level.
A casual strike from him could cost Chen Mu his life!
But if he did not leave...
He thought of the giant silkworm cocoons in the camp, then of the corpses of Qi Refining cultivators transformed into Mingling Demons.
Chen Mu's eyes hardened.
Leave!
He had to leave!
Staying meant death. Taking the risk and breaking out was his only chance at survival!
