1203 Returning to the past(Chapter preview)

She saw a dumb looking thing that resembled a dog and felt helpless.

It was obviously a Devil's Blood that could surround one from all directions, but it actually ended up like this. She didn't even know if she would be unable to undo its seal, so she didn't hold any hopes of this.

She would just treat it as if she were really raising a dog.

Although this dog, when it smiled with its teeth wide, its sharp canines showed clearly that it wasn't a dog.

She flew off into the direction that the Devil's Blood pointed her in, and bumped into a lot of faults and gaps in space. If it were not because Sima You Yue and Halcyon led the way, they would probably have landed in disaster.

As they got closer to the center, it got more dangerous and so they slowed down much more. After walking for a few months, they finally arrived at the heart of the battlefield back then.

"We're finally here." Sima Liu Feng sighed. He suddenly felt a burst of energy pull him to the side.

"Careful!" Di Zhe happened to be standing beside him and saw that he was falling to the side, so he pulled him back by reflex.

Sima Liu Feng was pulled over and was only a small distance away from the gap in space. It was only then the sucking energy disappeared.

"Uncle Liu Feng, are you alright?" Sima You Yue looked at Sima liu Feng worriedly.

His arm was already bleeding and his sleeves were in tatters. His flesh was exposed and you could see bone.

"No problem." Sima Liu Feng took out a pill and ate it before changing his outerwear. "Thank you for just now."

"Merely a reflex. I never thought of saving you." Di Zhe said icily.

"The outcome is the same, so I still offer my thanks." Sima Liu Feng said.

"There was obviously no gap in space earlier on, but one suddenly appeared. This proves that there is a lot of movement in the space here." Sima You Yue.

"Can you handle it on your own?" Di Zhe was rather uncertain. However, he knew that the space here was getting increasingly complicated. If they went inside, they would only drag her down.

Although they were powerful, it was useless in a place like this.

In this place, they had to know how to avoid this kind of spatial issues. Power was but a fart!

After all, they had no sensitivity towards space to speak of. They couldn't find it in them to say that they could go together.

"You can place us into your little realm" Sima Liu Feng said, "If anything happens, we'll still be able to come lend a hand."

They were too worried to let her go on her own.

Sima You Yue knew that this was the best compromise as she nodded her head, saying, "Alright. But I don't know how much time I will have to take. If it take a little long, it might delay your chances of finding a fortuitous encounter…"

"We came here to collect ghosts." Di Zhe said, "No matter how long you take, it will not impact us."

"Same for us." Sima Liu Feng said, "Those fortuitous encounters or whatnot are not as important as your safety."

Sima You Yue pursed her lips, saying, "Alright. I will do my best to complete it."

"Be careful."

"I will."

She took out her little door and opened the door to the little realm. She placed them inside then called out Halcyon. The both of them walked to the centre together.

With everyone else gone, they sped up quite a bit and quickly reached the heart of the area.

You couldn't tell what the heart of the area used to be like in the past. However, it was now a flat piece of land. It stretched as far as the eye could see. Not a single blade of grass grew on the black ashen land, and remnants of the aura from the old battle lingered.

"The space here is a lot more stable." Halcyon said as he sensed the surroundings.

"Maybe it gets more stable as we get closer to the centre." Sima You Yue said. It was like her past earthquakes. The epicentre of the earthquake was actually a lot more stable than the peripheries. "However, this feels a bit sinister. The temperature has dropped quite a bit."

"It should be that the death aura is rather heavy." Halcyon said, "There are no ghosts here."

Sima You Yue nodded. She didn't find it strange.

"I guessed it when I saw Devil's Blood." She patted Devil's Blood, who was in her embrace, "If I want to nurture it, it should need a lot of dark aura. It wouldn't be too possible for the ghosts to want to survive."

"This truly does seem unexpected." Halcyon said, "Who knew that, after going through so much, there actually isn't anything here."

Sima You Yue actually guessed it a long time ago. However, she was still a little disappointed at the outcome.

"Let's see if there's anything we can scavenge."

If she were to return like this empty handed, it would be such a waste.

The outcome of this was too dissatisfactory. She walked one round and actually found quite a bit of treasure. However, they were all useless. These spirit tools had long since lost their spirit energy after all this time.

Halcyon had lost quite a bit of his energy, so she let him go back to rest. Right now, she was searching the ruins with her little black dog.

"Wu wu-" Little Black Dog ran about on his own before crying out. It sounded like he was calling Sima You Yue over.

Sima You Yue walked over and saw Little Black Dog digging on the ground with his two paws. With the way it looked, it really didn't appear much different from an actual dog.

Sima You Yue saw the way he was acting and felt a few black lines down the side of her forehead. This guy… he was just this close to barking like a dog, alright?

"Did you see anything good?" She squatted down and looked where he ran.

"Wu wu-"

Little Black dug a few more times, and a few spirit stones were dug out from the pit.

"What are these?" Sima You Yue picked up those spirit stones. She held them up to the sunlight to take a look, and every single one of them were sparkling and pure. It even seemed like a crystal on the inside.

"Wu wu-"

Little Black placed two paws on Sima You Yue before opening its bloody mouth to take a bite.

"Ss-"

Sima You Yue felt a pain shoot through her arm, and was going to ask it why it did that when her environment suddenly changed and it gave her a huge fright.

You could actually see some hints of green in the initially pitch-black ground, but it was surrounded by flames. Piles of corpses surrounded her, some of which were burning still, and crackling sounds were heard all around her.

"Ah- Kill-"

Ear-splitting cries pulled her out of her stupor and she raised her head. She found herself in the middle of a battle with many people fighting around her.

Humans, ghosts and devils, there was one from every race. Every type of spirit beast, dark beast and devil beast was present. Ghost clansmen killed ghost clansmen, devils fought with humans, you kill me and I'll kill her, the entire battlefield was in absolute chaos.

Sima You Yue remained where she was. She saw others charging towards her and she subconsciously tried to dodge. However, the other party was too quick. She had just released her spirit energy but that person had already charged through her body.

No pain.

She stood where she was, stunned. A few others ran through her, but she didn't feel a thing.

She tried to shoot out a bolt of spirit energy and it attacked towards a devil beast not too far from where she was. That spirit energy went through it as well and disappeared, but that devil beast still remained perfectly fine as it battled another dark beast.
