mostly came into contact with villagers from the mountains and common folk. These people were very good at boasting and exaggerated stories about Old Madam Ma to an unbelievable extent. When I heard i...The shadow's movements faltered, seemingly frustrated. Its intimidation and deception tactics had failed. It shifted its tone, saying, "...I didn't expect you to be so clear-headed. It seems this layer of reflection has no effect on you..."

This level

How many more layers are there

"You better not make any rash moves. I'm not new to dealing with the Underworld, these scares wouldn't faze me if they could. " I narrowed my eyes and pointed my sword at the shadowy figure.

"How do I get out of this illusion Speak quickly!"

The shadow chuckled and said, "Some people are born with exceptional spiritual awareness. Old Wangye would have these individuals come to the Nan Ke Dream Mirror for a test. Those who can pass safely would be considered by Old Wangye for a gift of longevity, allowing them to cultivate further in the human world and spread righteousness..."

You're pulling my leg!

That sounds plausible, but I absolutely don't believe Old Wang has the time for this.

Master Yuanhui, the venerable and reclusive teacher, had chosen a stone hut disguised as a thatched cottage as his place of retreat.

The walls, ceiling, and floor of the stone house were all carved with scriptures. Inside, a circle of shelves was placed against the wall, on which sat hundreds of small wooden Buddha statues carved with scriptures.

And Master Huiqing said that under his master's meditation cushion was a secret chamber, inside of which was a mirror-image room. It should be the place where the previous generations of masters had passed through after their soul journeyed here and then imitated this place in the mortal world.

That master lived to be over a hundred years old and was considered a living god by people at the time.

It seems that Old Master Wang really added blessings and longevity to him.

However, Huiqing also said that his master was often troubled by evil thoughts in his heart and had to stay away from others, often locking himself up.

This is the aftereffect. Perhaps Old Master Wang's motivation for adding Fushou was to have these spirited people cultivate more and improve their cultivation level, so that the little demon consumed vitality would be of higher "quality"

Are you kidding me What about upholding righteousness

It's a joke for those who take crooked paths to talk about upholding righteousness.

This black shadow before us, where is there a trace of righteousness

"How many layers are there here" I raised my hand, using the blade of Zi Xiao Ruyi to point at the shadow's face.

The shadowy figure was still the battered Situ Lin, looking at him made me furious. This fellow wanted to swallow those two little ancestors whole! Luckily, Tanlang risked his life to fish them out. Otherwise, who knows what might have happened

“Three layers…” The shadow didn’t hesitate, its figure fading and scattering into a cloud of black mist.

"Three rooms... take your time and look around..."

What's he doing Is he trying to escape!

"Don't go!" I panicked, slashing down with my sword!

With a sharp crack, a cloud of bone fragments erupted from the shadow's body, scattering gray-white dust everywhere. I quickly covered my nose and mouth and backed away.

“You’re really violent.” The shadow's voice actually carried a hint of grievance, “After going through three rooms, you can pass through Bai Gu Lane and leave…”

White Bone Alley... the name itself doesn't sound like a good place.

As the mist cleared, I found myself standing at a crossroads of small stones hidden amongst lush bamboo.

It is within reason for Jiang Qiyun to be absent.

I guess I've gotten myself into something.

Three rooms, first left then right and finally the middle one. I decided on the order and pushed open the door to the leftmost room.

Inside was completely empty, with nothing at all, not even a hint of anything unusual.

It was a deathly still and silent empty house.

What's going on Has the environment here broken down

Just now's shock and fear, wasn't it the first "nightmare" that disturbed my mind

Sistr Lim is indeed a nightmare of mine.

At the beginning, he was a charming young master from a prominent family, which made me rethink what "prominent family" really meant in this circle. But later I realized that his existence, and his entire family, were part of a scheme.

What else might be in the other rooms My other “nightmares”

I hesitated and walked towards the opposite cabin. There was no sound inside. The moment I pushed open the door, I saw a warm light.

White, so many whites...

A white body writhed and entangled, men and women, laughter filled the air.

This is... a live version of... infantry!!!

I instinctively reached out to pull the door shut, but a hand stopped me. The owner of the hand smiled and said, "Don't leave so soon."

I looked at the man behind the door. He had a handsome face and leaned against the door frame, naked as the day he was born.

"This is a test, don't you want to stay" he said to me in a teasing tone.

Experiment

"...How do you test it" I blurted out.

This man smiled ambiguously, his voice a low murmur as he said, "Come in... I'll make you scream with pleasure..."

Ugh... Is this flirting and an invitation

This is too difficult for me, it's just too obscene! Just looking at it would get me punished by Jiang Qiyun. I'm an idiot to even consider going in there.

After I shook my head and backed away, he poked his head out and laughed, “Fear, curiosity, lust for beauty—these are the very nature of humankind. Why be afraid”

What scares me is the Emperor.

Even if you are demons and monsters, I'd still get a beating if I looked at you a few more times—just watching the introductory videos given by my brother is like that, let alone seeing the uncensored version in person.

"Humans without love or desire, they will age gradually, oh… just like this—"

This young man suddenly transformed from a handsome young man into the shriveled face of an ancient corpse. A small snake crawled out of his empty, dark eye sockets.

Ugh… Really disgusting.

"If you don't come in, you'll become like this too." He raised his withered finger and pointed it at my face.

Wait, what! I instinctively reached up to touch my face, but the skin on my hand vanished quickly, leaving behind only dry, cracked skin stretched over bone.

"Hehe… So-called yin and yang harmony, but it is the truth of nourishment~~"

I have some sympathy for the former masters like Huiming. For a young monk to go through such an ordeal, I estimate he would carry the demons and regrets with him for life.

This scrawny handsome man reached out to grab me, I raised my Zi Xiao Ruyi and slashed down hard.

He's become such a monster that it saves me the trouble of having pity on him. I wouldn't hesitate to strike him down.

The Thunder God is the deity of celestial disasters, wielder of worldly powers, and the great divinity who governs life and death. The divine artifacts in his Jade Palace are more than capable of dealing with these demons that beguile the hearts of mortals.

This sword strike of mine didn't just cleave the withered pretty boy in front of me in half, the purple electrical energy directly chopped another man who was getting it on inside the house into pieces. The set for this adult film exploded.

These demons and monsters can only deceive people, take advantage of people's fear and weakness, and greed to tempt and manipulate them, or even harm human life.

At this moment, everything was chaotic. Those white bodies became twisted and grotesque, each one baring its teeth and claws as they burst through the windows, surrounding me.

Like a pack of weak and greedy hyenas, ready to swarm and tear me apart.

Indeed, indulging in debauchery harms both the body and the spirit. Look at these monsters, each one a sickly, ghostly figure... They still want to harm me

Okay, since you're so insistent.

Then you'll just have to taste my "great sword"!
