Chapter 1016: Chapter 46 Mysterious Existence Chapter 1016: Chapter 46 Mysterious Existence This, this can’t be!

Wang Ba’s gaze traveled over the dense old trees, branches, and leaves, watching that silhouetted figure through the gaps with disbelief.

Missing for decades with no trace to be found, and those who came searching could never locate him, yet now he appeared mysteriously in the heart of Musen Island.

The ‘giggling’ sound was flowing melodiously from his mouth, with a tone that rose and fell dramatically, while he wore a long shirt free of any dust in front of a somewhat coarse table, on which a judge’s gavel lay.

Over thirty years had passed, yet it was just like the scene from decades past when he narrated stories at the teahouse in Xuanwu Market.

However, this scene, deep in the silent and dark forest, involuntarily gave one a chilling sensation along the spine.

“Bai Xiaoyun is actually here… So does that mean, the cultivators who disappeared before, were all captured by the mysterious entity within this Musen Island?”

“But what would this mysterious entity want with them?”

Wang Ba was puzzled but did not rashly charge forward.

...

He carefully listened to the continuous ‘giggling’ sound coming from Bai Xiaoyun’s mouth.

Even though not a single word was comprehensible, his mind began to flood with a stream of obscure and enchanting images.

The Blood Energy within his flesh began to surge uncontrollably.

Yet it seemed that the sound had triggered something.

Sparks of electricity suddenly leaped within Wang Ba’s body.

‘Crackle and snap!’

Wang Ba’s mind cleared instantly, and the enchanting images in his head were purged.

The turmoil of Blood Energy inside him also quieted down immediately.

But the sound became particularly piercing in the somewhat still silence of the surroundings.

Wang Ba felt a chill in his heart.

Despite his Spiritual Sense not being able to extend far, he immediately pushed it to its limit.

The Mother Qi of Dharmas within him was ready to strike.

What surprised him was,

that Bai Xiaoyun’s ‘giggling’ sound was still echoing at a steady pace through the silent forest.

As if completely oblivious to the noise he had made.

The surroundings were eerily quiet.

Wang Ba couldn’t help but look towards Bai Xiaoyun again.

He saw the other still standing behind the table, his robe pristine, eyes bright and spirited, as if interacting through his gaze with an audience before him.

But when Wang Ba looked around, there was no audience to be found.

Only a damp ground littered with decaying leaves and, farther away, a few sparsely spaced old trees with human-face-like knots, listening quietly to Bai Xiaoyun’s strange utterances.

This made Wang Ba frown unconsciously.

At this moment, how could he not realize that Bai Xiaoyun, just like Yang Gongyi before, had been bewitched by the mysterious presence.

“Such a powerful bewitching technique.”

He felt a slight shiver in his heart.

This capability to bewitch others was not unfamiliar to him; it almost instantly reminded him of the Power of the Yin God within himself.

But he had not felt the aura of the Power of the Yin God on Yang Gongyi.

He then remembered the mysterious vertical pupils he had faintly seen when he himself was under a spell in the sky above Musen Island.

That bewitching power seemed different from the Power of the Yin God.

“What in the world is it?

It can drive two of my uncles to lose control and also capture Bai Xiaoyun and bring him here…”

Wang Ba thought rapidly within his heart.

Without hesitation, he carefully shifted his gaze, looking around him.

Soon his eyes fixed:

“Liu Lan?!”

His Spiritual Sense could not spread far, so he had to change his viewing angle just to barely make out the other person.

At this moment, Liu Lan was still dressed in the robe of a Myriad Phenomena Sect Disciple, sitting cross-legged not far from Bai Xiaoyun.

His eyes were lightly closed.

Seemingly in the midst of cultivation.

With each breath, two white Qi dragons emerged from his nostrils, then surged up towards a small bead above his head.

As the white Qi dragons emerged,

His formerly plump and rosy cheeks visibly sunk in, leaving nothing but skin over bone…

Soon, no more white Qi dragons came out of Liu Lan’s nostrils.

He opened his eyes slightly, then took out an unnamed spirit item from his Storage Treasure to begin refining it bit by bit.

As the spirit item was refined, the haggardness of his face gradually improved.

But he didn’t stop there, taking out another spirit item and beginning the refinement process anew, and then white Qi dragons emerged once again from his nostrils…

The whole process was incredibly mechanical and repetitive, yet what sent shivers down Wang Ba’s spine was the look of delight on Liu Lan’s face.

“Another one… So the missing people were indeed all taken here!”

“But what exactly is that white Qi dragon?”

Wang Ba looked solemn, filled with doubts.

Carefully pressing down on the leaves, he shifted his viewpoint again.

But this time, he saw no one else, only that the forest around the clearing had formed a huge gap where no trees stood, opening towards an even more distant place.

Wang Ba hesitated slightly.

He then glanced around, touched a damp stone, and with a bit of effort, flicked it so it landed right before Liu Lan.

However, Liu Lan seemed completely oblivious to the stone’s appearance.

He continued to sit cross-legged on the ground, earnestly cultivating.

Wang Ba’s brow slowly relaxed.

After thinking for a moment, he gently stretched open the Spirit Beast Bag in his hand, and an alert-looking Spiritual Ghost Eel reminiscent of a short snake swam out from within.

But as soon as it emerged, it became restless, swimming back and forth among the fallen leaves.

It seemed to sense some kind of danger.
