As Chen Changan drew upon the power of the Wisdom Law, Mu Yunyao and Xue Kui noticed the surrounding City changing as well.
The City hadn't vanished completely. It was just that many of the buildings they'd seen before had disappeared.
Places like gambling dens and brothels—things that shouldn't have existed in the first place—had all vanished.
Their presence had likely been due to the city reading some of the memories in Chen Changan and the others' minds, causing those places to appear before their eyes.
"This place is such a wreck."
The City had become utterly dilapidated. It looked like the remnants left behind after a great battle.
"What's that?"
Suddenly, Mu Yunyao noticed a shadow flicker past. Xue Kui had noticed it too.
The other party had been so fast that they hadn't gotten a clear look.
But the shadow's appearance made it clear to the two women that this place wasn't without danger.
Just then, Chen Changan opened his eyes. He glanced at the two of them and said, "Truth and falsehood, reality and illusion."
"This fragrance must be something that can penetrate the soul and affect it."
"But it won't be easy for it to fool me completely, so it can only use a mixture of truth and falsehood to deal with me."
"The city gate we saw disappear just now, and the city walls rising up—they must both have been illusions."
At Chen Changan's words, Mu Yunyao and Xue Kui nodded. Then they said, "We noticed a shadow appear just now, but it moved too fast, so we..."
"There it is again!"
Before Mu Yunyao could finish speaking, the shadow appeared once more. This time, though, there wasn't just one. There was... a whole group!
Countless shadows now surrounded Chen Changan and the two women.
