Ye Han's eyes snapped open, ripples of golden light erupted, and he drove a vicious punch straight at the strange man's head...
Thud!! A muffled blast rang out!
Ye Han's punch blasted the blue-white-skinned stranger apart, turning him into a great cloud of gray light and vapor that vanished without a trace!
What was going on?
Where was Teacher Lan Qing?
Ye Han suddenly realized he was no longer in the Mountain Ravine, but in an open valley. Both Teacher Lan Qing and the member of the Immortal-Thief Outsider Race had disappeared.
That Immortal-Thief Outsider Race member said I'd fallen into three layers of illusion? Could I have fallen into a formation?
With that thought, Ye Han formed hand seals in rapid succession, circulating the Divine Communion Formula, Puppet God Technique, and Mind-Clearing Art. Rings of divine sense spirit light suddenly pulsed around him, shielding his body and mind...
But!
His surroundings remained unchanged. Ye Han found himself in a vast basin, surrounded by cliffs tens of thousands of feet high, with enormous caves set into them.
Inside those caves stood enormous stone coffins.
What was going on?
Ye Han's expression grew grave. He had already used three divine sense secret methods. By rights, however powerful an illusory realm might be, he should have detected some hint of it.
Yet now he was alone. Teacher Lan Qing and the Immortal-Thief Outsider Race member were both gone.
Before Ye Han could work out just what was happening before him-
Suddenly.
Rumble!!! A rolling roar came from the caves. The stone coffins, covered in dust and moss, began to shift and open...
Crack! With a dull snap, the lid of one stone coffin opened. A monstrous blue-white hand, covered in scales and white hair, with long, sharp nails, gripped the coffin's edge...
