Counterattack

"What?"

Everyone else was stunned.

"Shanhe, are you saying that you can't deal with the other party's divination with your power?" The gray-robed man, who had recovered quite a bit, stood up, his tone very solemn.

"I'm afraid so. The moment I realized it, I thought our position had been locked onto by the other side. I just tried to counter with the compass, but..." She gripped the compass, its needle spinning wildly, her eyes clearly conveying the situation to the others.

There was no room for retaliation.

In terms of divination combat, the enemy is far stronger.

"Run away."

They didn't have much time to react; the people immediately left the room, preparing to get away from the scene.

On Vier's side, the direction and position of the Pendulum also changed slightly.

"Did they sense my divination? Interesting."

As an ascendant, my rank gives me a suppressive effect over ordinary, Hidden One. If the other party is not Transcendent with powerful anti-divination abilities, or simply an ordinary person, it would be quite difficult for them to detect me.

She raised the coin with her other hand and tossed it into the air.

Before the coin landed, Vier closed her eyes and silently said, "If it lands heads, it means the other side has discovered my location."

I opened my eyes, and the coin had fallen onto the table.

It's the opposite.

But in the next instant, the coin bounced and flipped over automatically to reveal the proof.

"Very good, the other side has the ability to deal with divination."

Vier took a deep breath.

She was going to make some arrangements to prevent the fortune teller from the other side.

In fact, if one encounters Transcendent with the same primary essence, one will be unable to respond to their divination.

To put it simply, if two Weaver try to divine each other's fates, the result will be that they are both seen through by the other, or they will both suffer losses.

Conversely, to withstand a Weaver's direct detection and conceal oneself, one needs an ability to resist such attacks.

Of course, the Weaver possesses a slight ability to counter divination, but this ability is not strong enough to be a primary or secondary counter, but it can still easily withstand the power of ordinary Hidden One.

After all, she is a Transcendent.

Several people rushed out of the house.

"Shanhe, aren't you going to retaliate?" the short man couldn't help but ask as they walked down the street.

"I want to too."

The mountains and rivers were actually in a state of panic.

Only by confronting the situation head-on can one truly understand the terror posed by the other party.

That was a divination method far beyond his own.

She held the compass in one hand and took out a coin with the other, tossing it into the air.

"The front side represents that I am being told a fortune."

Landing is the opposite.

"Are you alright?" The short man's eyes lit up.

Who knew that Shanhe would take out four coins at this moment. "Front side, which means that you are being divined."

After landing, two were head-down and two were tail-up.

"What does this mean?" the gray-robed man couldn't help but ask.

"It means that all my divination power has been suppressed and is completely useless. Don't you understand? Divination has become like flipping a coin. If you believe the result, you've already lost."

The gray-robed man. "..."

Ye Qian No. 2 accompanied Lin Qingyan back to the hot pot restaurant.

"Are you alright, Ye Qian?" Seeing the girl's weak appearance, she felt really sorry for her.

Even setting aside his past relationship with her, he still evokes pity.

"Lin Qingyan, don't tell anyone about what happened today." Ye Qian said softly, pressing on the other's shoulder as she panted. "The Hidden World is far more terrifying than you can imagine. It's a cruel world. The best way is to pretend it doesn't exist and live your own life. If... you're an ordinary person, at least you're less likely to get entangled with them."

"Ye Qian, could it be that you are... someone from that circle?"

"Mm." Ye Qian nodded.

"You didn't become a woman because you were exposed to that kind of thing, did you?"

Ye Qian: "..."

After a moment of silence, Ye Qian rolled her eyes. "No, my situation is rather special. As for the Personality Cult, I'll help you clean up the mess. Of course, if I ultimately fail, I might not be able to guarantee your safety."

"Failure? Wait, you're not thinking of going to find them yourself, are you? Don't do that..." She regretted it so much she wanted to cry, "There's no need for me to do this..."

"Hmph, I'm not that kind. Anyway... just focus on doing your own thing." Ye Qian didn't bother explaining anything to her and walked straight to the hot pot table. "Don't forget to pay."

The two returned to their classmates one after the other.

She ate and drank normally, but Lin Qingyan became even more absent-minded.

At 8 p. m., after saying goodbye, Lin Qingyan caught up with Ye Qian, who was about to take a ride home.

"Ye Qian, I..."

"What?" Ye Qian turned around.

"Are you really not... alright?"

Seeing the girl's conflicted expression, Ye Qian sighed, "Sister, strictly speaking, your situation is more dangerous than mine. On the contrary, I will be fine."

After becoming Weaver, Ye Qian already knew one thing.

That is... divination has specific internal requirements.

It requires prior knowledge of the other party's situation in order to divinate more facts based on that information.

The less complete the known information, the more difficult it is to obtain the target information through divination.

The Black-Robed Man had only met him once, and the two hadn't even exchanged any words. He knew nothing about the man except his appearance and clothes, so it would be very difficult for him to find him based on this limited information.

As for himself, he already knew that the other party came from the Personality Cult, knew about the existence of that book, and had heard about the relationship between him and Lin Qingyan. In addition, there was the difference in their cultivation levels, which is why his methods were so easy to achieve.

This is also why Ye Qian judged that the Insect Blood Society's methods were highly sophisticated.

Because at that time they directly Dream Entry their own dream.

Ye Qian deduced that the other party had taken advantage of the location.

Whoever is near the battlefield, enter their dream. In fact, the Insect Blood Society did not know that Ye Qian was the one targeting them, so they asked by entering Dream Entry.

Chapter 92 Counterattack

"I've pinpointed their location, but these people are very wary."

Looking at the direction indicated by the Pendulum, and after using divination a few more times, Vier roughly understood the situation on the other side.

"Let 'Dream Entry."

With limited information, she could only enter the dream of one person, and that person... was the gray-robed man she had encountered before.

Snap!

In an instant, among the group of people walking briskly on the road, the only one wearing a gray robe suddenly stopped and fell to the ground.

"What happened?"

The short man following behind immediately helped him up.

The woman... that is, Shanhe, changed her expression slightly and turned around to say, "He was dragged into a dream."

"What? How is that possible?"

Everyone present looked horrified.

They made many preparations before entering Lin Qingyan's dream, which enabled them to pull her into the dream when she was completely off guard.

The gray-robed man, aside from possessing considerable strength and the tools for Dream Entry, was still moving rapidly and was in a very conscious state.

"To instantly pull someone into a dream? It seems... the other side has made their move."

At that moment, the gray-robed man who was running suddenly changed his expression, sensing something amiss.

"What happened?" Shanhe asked, turning around.

The gray-robed man didn't speak. He reached out, pinched his nose, and took a deep breath.

"I can't breathe."

This is a method for interpreting dreams.

In dreams, if a person pinches their nose, they can still breathe. If they can't breathe, it basically means it's reality.

But...

For that brief moment before, he felt a trace of Dream Entry.

Looking at his teammates who were questioning him, the gray-robed man fell into a state of doubt.

Yes, he suspected he had been pulled into a dream, but everything around him was exactly the same as reality, so much so that he couldn't feel that he was dreaming.

But he believed his suspicions were not unfounded.

The only possibility is that someone tried to pull me into Dream Entry, but failed.

"It must have failed." He breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at his tense teammates. "It's okay, someone just tried to pull me into Dream Entry, but it probably failed."

"Phew, that scared me to death." Shanhe patted his chest. "Let's run, don't waste time."

"Um."

Nodding, the group continued on their way.

But after running for a while, he suddenly stopped.

Something's not right.

There's a problem.

People in dreams are often unaware that they are dreaming. Therefore, if a Hidden One actively drags an ordinary person into a dream, the person being dragged in is very likely unable to remain conscious.

But the man in the gray robe was no ordinary man.

He had studied dreams for a long time and possessed related extraordinary items, giving him a thorough understanding of dreams. Through long-term training and the blessing of hidden powers, he could quickly become aware of his situation whenever Dream Entry.

That's why he knew his previous fleeting feelings were unreasonable.

"Am I just imagining things... or have I already fallen into a dream?"

He began to doubt everything around him and felt a chill run down his spine.

Even if it's fake, everything feels so real that it's hard for him to believe it.

Ignoring his teammates' expressions, this guy started frantically observing the people on the roadside, and he became nervous.

"This is most likely a dream!"

Almost immediately after he shouted, all the passersby in the distance disappeared.

The entire scene fell into complete silence, with only a few teammates standing there blankly.

"That's interesting. Your intuition is very sharp."

A strange laugh came from afar.

He quickly looked over and saw a girl with long white hair standing there.

The other person had an impeccable appearance, standing against the tranquil city backdrop with a faint smile on their face.
