Chapter 695 We're Inside
Ye Qing'an nodded, completely agreeing with Yi Moxu's words: "Yi Yun Kui may indeed be your father, and may have once loved and doted on you. However, he has long since changed. Now, the world and the throne are what he cares about most. He now only sees you as an enemy, as a villain who covets what is his."
"What he gave you, you returned to him in full six years ago, and you owe him nothing now. As for this empire, this world, then it's up to each of you to rely on your own abilities."
Yi Moxu looked at Ye Qing'an and extended his hand to her: "Let's go to the Cloud Dreamland."
Ye Qing'an responded and raised her hand to grasp Yi Moxu's.
With a shift in light and shadow, the two appeared in the Dreamland of Clouds in the next moment.
Ye Qing'an raised her hand and drew a summoning spell. Before long, Jiu Xiao emerged from the summoning circle.
Ye Qing'an raised her eyes to look at Jiu Xiao, sizing him up from head to toe: "You look perfectly fine to me, and you can come out with just a summoning array. So how easy is it for you to enter and leave the Night Demon Clan's territory?"
Jiuxiao raised his hand and scratched his head, chuckling, "Isn't it because the Night Demon Clan needs someone to guard outside their territory and scout out the situation?"
"So, you didn't go in?"
"Ah..." Jiu Xiao's eyes darted around, and he kept explaining, "It's not because I'm a coward. It's also important to guard outside. After all, I have to be outside to see what's going on and be ready to deal with any emergencies that may happen at any time."
Ye Qing'an scoffed: "Yes, the person guarding the outside is also important. But if someone else is guarding the outside, I'll feel that they genuinely want to protect this gate. But you're different. You must just be a coward."
"..."
Enraged, Jiu Xiao snorted and ignored Ye Qing'an.
"Alright, take us there."
Jiuxiao blinked: "You're going over there?"
"Ah."
"Now?"
"Ah."
Jiuxiao blinked: "But Ghost Shadow and that Water Qilin are still in the Night Demon Clan's territory. You are human, and you have no way to hide your whereabouts. If you go there, you will inevitably alert them."
Ye Qing'an scoffed: "So what if we stir up trouble? We are indeed somewhat wary of the Night Demon Clan, but that's only because we don't know enough about them. However, even if we don't know enough about the Night Demon Clan, we are absolutely not afraid of them."
"Even if I don't know them well enough, I still know that in the face of absolute overwhelming strength, everything else is meaningless."
Jiuxiao couldn't help but blink again, his gaze falling on Yi Moxu.
"I can summon you, but what about him?"
"And where are you going? Directly to the entrance to the Night Demon Clan's illusionary realm?"
Ye Qing'an also turned to look at Yi Moxu, pondered for a moment, and then said, "I can bring one of your weapons or an object imbued with your spirit with me. Then you can use the Cloud Dream Realm to search for the location of your spirit and then teleport there."
"Hmm." Yi Moxu nodded: "Madam is indeed exceptionally intelligent."
Jiuxiao couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Ye Qing'an smiled and said, "Let's go straight to the entrance of that illusion."
Ye Qing'an pursed her lips: "It's alright to alert them. Now that Ghost Shadow and Water Qilin have entered the Night Demon Clan's territory, if we go there now, although it will alert them, it will be good to provide cover for Ghost Shadow and Water Qilin. Besides, we can exchange information in time while we are all inside."
Yi Moxu lowered his eyes: "Let Jiuxiao remain outside the illusion."
Jiuxiao's eyes widened, and he protested.
Since Ye Qing'an was going in, he naturally had to follow.
After all, one should behave well in front of their master.
Moreover, no matter how dangerous the Night Demon Clan's territory is, it is Ye Qing'an's spirit beast. If something happens to Ye Qing'an, it will not survive either.
Rather than die without knowing why, it's better to go in and struggle.
“No, I must go in with my master. I will live and die with my master, and I will never abandon him.”
Yi Moxu glanced at Jiuxiao, a hint of mockery in his eyes: "Alright then, you can come in with us."
"..."
Wait, why does he always feel like he's fallen into a trap?
Jiu Xiao hesitated for a moment, glanced at Ye Qing'an again, and then cautiously asked, "I went in with you. Who's outside the illusion..."
"Taotie."
Yi Moxu hesitated almost without the slightest hesitation.
"Taotie?" Jiuxiao blinked, and even Ye Qing'an turned her eyes.
"Hmm, Taotie."
Ye Qing'an had almost forgotten that the Taotie that had appeared in Wangjing City was the work of Yi Moxu.
"The Taotie is gluttonous and can eat anything."
"It's best to have it guard the entrance. If any Nightshade tries to escape, it will devour them whole. If we can't get out, it can eat the illusion, along with the surrounding seawater and islands."
"Madam just said something very well: in the face of absolute power, everything else is meaningless."
"Illusions are merely tools used to deceive the world. The true homeland of the Night Demon Clan is still an island. It's just that the Night Demon Clan uses illusions to make everyone believe that there is nothing there, thus concealing the island where their homeland is located."
"When the Taotie devours everything edible around it, the island will naturally reveal itself, leaving it nowhere to hide."
Ye Qing'an's fingers twitched slightly, and he nodded: "Okay, let's do it that way."
After saying that, he looked at Jiuxiao and said, "Let's go, let's set off now."
Jiuxiao clicked his tongue, agreed, and quickly disappeared from the spot.
Before long, a summoning circle appeared beside Ye Qing'an.
Yi Moxu lowered his head, took a jade pendant from his waist, and put it on Ye Qing'an's hand.
Ye Qing'an glanced down at the jade pendant, then stepped into the summoning array.
Water appeared as soon as it emerged from the summoning circle.
The sea is boundless, with surging waves and towering billows.
Jiuxiao quickly transformed back into its original form, allowing Ye Qing'an to ride on its back.
A short while later, Yi Moxu also arrived.
Jiuxiao wagged its tail: "See that? The eye of the wind ahead is actually the entrance to the illusion."
Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes: "I saw it."
Yi Moxu raised his hand and drew a summoning circle. Then, with a roar, a Taotie appeared in the air.
"Let's go, let it stay here, we're going in."
Jiuxiao responded, his gaze falling on the eye of the storm. He took a deep breath and rushed towards it.
