The two were not biological siblings, but they had been dependent on each other since childhood and lived in the outer city of Qin Guang. Chen Jing looked up at the sky, still unable to accept it in his heart. In his mind, Qianluo Mountain, Xiu Chunwan was so clear, and there was Ye Qingxue. Her lightning-like movements and figure, were they all just an illusion?

  Chen Jing asked if killing that Li San Gongzi would be serious, but he found out that here, as long as you go to the city master's place to confess your crime, you will be sentenced according to the severity of the case.

  Youyou wanted Chen Jing to go to the city master's place, but Chen Jing was unwilling to go. Youyou then said that if he didn't go, the Li family would not let him off easily. Chen Jing smiled and did not respond, only looking at Youyou.

  Chen Jing looked carefully, listened carefully. Feeling everything in this world, in his heart it was already unclear whether this world was real or not, perhaps it was just a dream of Nanke. It's just unknown now whether it's a dream or everything outside is a dream.

  Ever since he woke up in the illusory world of butterflies, he had a kind of illusion that the world he was in was an illusion, or that everything he saw had a sense of unreality. All things and creatures, still here today, changed tomorrow.

  "Boom... Bang..."

  This was a thunderclap that shocked Chen Jing out of his dazed state.

  "This is Shizi's Ninth Heavenly Thunder." As soon as Chen Jing heard this voice, he immediately stood up, his heart surging.

  "It's a demon from outside the domain!" Yu Yu stood up and looked towards the distant inner city.

  "What's this 'Domain Outside Heavenly Demon'? What Domain Outside Heavenly Demon?" Chen Jing asked in confusion.

  After Chen Jing didn't leave again, Youyou seemed to have forgotten everything before. She explained: "Yesterday, a group of demonic creatures from outside the domain suddenly invaded the City Lord's Manor and were blocked by the City Lord's guards."

  "What did those demons look like?" Chen Jing asked quickly.

  "You're right, Chen Jing. The Domain of the Outer Heavens' Demons are indeed just that - they don't have a fixed appearance."

  Suddenly, a voice came from the void, like a bell or a drum.

  "The Devil King is invading, the city lord's guard is summoning." Yu Yu looked towards the distant place where the sound came from. Then turned around and said to Chen Jing: "Brother, you go, kill the Devil King for the city lord, if you achieve merit, there will be a reward, your crime will also be gone."

  Chen Jing was somewhat incredulous, but he didn't say anything. What he wanted to do most now was to go and see if those heavenly demons were Ye Qingxue and the others. He revealed a smile that even he himself didn't know what it meant, and immediately flew off in the direction of the tolling bell. From far away, he could still hear Youyou shouting: "Brother, you must come back safely, don't forget what you promised me!"

  Chen Jingrun didn't know what he had said, or if someone who looked exactly like him had said something. In the direction where the bell and drum sounds came from, lightning was falling from the sky, one bolt after another, rapid and dense.

  Before long, a city appeared before Chen Jing's eyes. The city was exactly the same as what he had seen from outside, still with cracks all over it, but without that feeling of being on the verge of collapse at any moment. There was no one guarding the city gate, and the tall, thick black gate was open, with people constantly pouring in from the gate. However, these people were no longer those black-armored figures without bodies, each looking just like ordinary humans.

  As soon as they entered the city, they found that the houses inside were lined up in rows, just like a big city in the mortal world. At this time, every household was tightly closed, but on the main street, there were many people holding weapons rushing towards one direction. Chen Jing followed them all the way, and halfway through, the sky suddenly rippled with waves, and then he saw that many people had suddenly appeared out of thin air. Those people were all the gods who had come with Chen Jing along this road. He couldn't help but think: "Fortunately, they are all still here, they are real, so everything that happened to me is fake."

  Just as they appeared, countless people in the city flew up into the sky. At this time, Chen Jingcai discovered that these people in the city actually knew some magic spells, with varying levels of proficiency and a wide range of strange and wondrous techniques.

  In the sky, Cheng Huang and his thousand-strong army of Yin soldiers appeared, pressing forward in a straight line. Chen Jing naturally wouldn't go to block them, nor would he go to meet up with them. Instead, he rushed towards the place where the bell drum sounds were coming from on the ground.

  "These devils from outside the domain have come again, although the city master is not here, we must eliminate them."

  Chen Jing heard the words of the extraterrestrial demon again, and he couldn't help but think: "If he is an extraterrestrial demon, then what am I? I also came from outside, how did I become like the people in the city?" He thought about the blood on his body that had turned black, feeling a bit uncomfortable. He looked up to see that it was already chaotic, with people flying around like moths startled by a flame.

  Chen Jing just took a glance and continued to rush quickly in the direction of the tolling bell, if viewed from the sky, the people in the city were like ants in disarray.

  He ran through the streets, heading straight for the city center. At his speed, it took him a considerable amount of time to arrive at the city center. Before him stood a magnificent and grand mansion situated on a platform, with a square in front of it. The square was packed with people, who were apparently all like Chen Jing, rushing over upon hearing the bell tolling. As he appeared, some people merely glanced at him before looking away.

  Chen Jing didn't look at them much, but just raised his head and looked up at the sky.

  Jiang Liu Yun, Ye Qing Xue, and a young noble in brocade clothes holding a long sword, along with several Taoist priests, were surrounded by many people. Chen Jing took one look and knew that the people on the square couldn't stop them.

  They arrived a little earlier than Chen Jing, and it just so happened that they appeared here at the right time. However, according to Youyou's words, they had already appeared during his unconsciousness.

  Bolts of lightning suddenly appeared, pouring out from the void, falling down and striking people in the square. The electric sparks ignited a sea of flames, dyeing everything in a vast expanse, and people on the square fell down piece by piece.

  The young master in brocade clothes wielded his sword with a dazzling display of light, and wherever the light reached, there was no opponent who could withstand it for even a moment. Chen Jing's eyes narrowed slightly. This person's swordsmanship was so extraordinary that it far exceeded his expectations. Each sword strike was like a snowflake gently floating around him, and every person who approached was pierced through the throat by the sword tip.

  The river flows and the clouds are always half asleep, but his eyes have already opened. The top of his head is still shrouded in red clouds, with blue pearls floating on the surface. However, Chen Jingming can clearly feel that the blue pearl and the red cloud seem to be merging together. This feeling is completely different from when he saw him three years ago at Xiuchun Bay, where the blue pearl and the red cloud were distinct and separate.

  "It turned out he had been cultivating Qingzhu all along." Chen Jing's heart flashed with understanding.

  Just then, from behind, a batch of dark soldiers came with Cheng Yaojin, and the people in the sky could not withstand them.

  "Don't let them enter the city's main mansion, set up an ambush!" A man wearing black armor shouted in front of the mansion gate.

  As the sound fell, the people on the square all moved. Chen Jingding calmed down and looked over, only to see that they were all holding strange talismans, although many were different, but their bodies all emitted the same dead energy.

  The divine technique responded to his heart and emerged, but nothing could be seen, only a breath of air overflowing, soon to become one piece. All people slowly disappeared. Just as the formation was about to take shape, Jiang Liuyun, Ye Qingshuang, and Jin Fu Gongzi simultaneously made their move.

  Sword, lightning, and green jade burst forth with dazzling light. Chen Jing's eyes used the Gazing Deity Technique to look at it, but in the instant that the green jade shone brightly, he only saw circles of colorful light, and nothing else could be seen. Hurriedly avoiding it, closing his eyes, yet still there were circles of colorful light flashing before his eyes. Looking elsewhere, surprisingly everything was unclear, still entwined with the five-colored lights, and in his mind there was a dizzying feeling.

  Chen Jing was shocked, his spiritual power stirred, and he took a deep breath to calm himself. The colorful lights in front of his eyes dispersed, and when his vision cleared, he saw that the square was littered with corpses. Most people's bodies were severed from their heads, and Chen Jing keenly sensed that the sword energy in the air was still extremely strong. It could be imagined that when the young master in brocade killed these people, his sword energy must have been overwhelming, every sword strike taking a soul.

  There is no one in the sky, the official gate is wide open, and it is clear that they have all entered the city master's mansion.

  Chen Jing didn't hesitate and immediately ran towards the majestic and stern castle. As soon as he entered, his surroundings changed again, giving him a feeling of entering another world. Inside the gate was a courtyard with a wall in the middle, its surface made of dark green stone, on which was written a line of words: "Those who enter this door will forever fall into the abyss of hell." The font had a manic air to it, as if it were written in human blood. On the mottled stone surface was carved a figure with a red body and black skin, stepping on a dragon, with black hair like a demon, opening its bloody mouth wide and roaring towards the sky, amidst dark clouds that formed a shape like a pot, it was unclear whether it was spitting out or sucking in.

  "Swallowing the sky and spitting out the earth!" As soon as Chen Jing saw this painting, he thought of these words. The majestic momentum that seemed to swallow the sky and spit out the earth almost pierced through the wall. Chen Jing only took a glance, his heart racing, and hastily looked away, thinking about the legends between heaven and earth, but couldn't recall which ancient god had such an image.

  After turning over the stone wall, what comes into view is the main hall of the mansion. The gate is extremely high and it's unknown what material was used to build it, as it's not wood but also not a stone door. There are no carvings or patterns, simple and unadorned, giving people a heavy feeling at first glance.

  The door was already open on one side, and looking inside, all that could be seen was darkness. It was impossible to see far ahead, just like an ordinary person walking on a moonless night. Those people had already gone in, and their presence still lingered here. The sound of voices came from outside the mansion, Chen Jing didn't stay any longer, taking one step forward, his entire body was instantly swallowed up by the darkness without leaving any trace.

  In the darkness, divine sense can only spread out one zhang far, and nothing can be seen or felt beyond one zhang. Upon entering, I see there are tables and chairs, arranged in two neat rows, which somewhat resembles a mortal's imperial court.

  He went further in and found two directions to turn into the back hall, Chen Jing didn't know which way Ye Qingxue had gone, so he could only try his luck and head to the right. After turning into the back hall, it was a deep and quiet passageway, with rooms on both sides of the passageway. At the door of each room lay two black armored guards. Each room's door was open, but inside was pitch black, he couldn't see clearly at a glance, nor did he enter, continuing to walk forward. However, after not walking far, a three-pronged road appeared, with three directions: front, left, and right, and he didn't know which way to go.

  He looked down at the ground in the morning, and saw a field of corpses. The wounds were all sealed with one sword. The sharpness of the sword was something Chen Jing had never seen before. He didn't turn around, but went straight forward. After walking for not too long, suddenly, there came the sound of someone rummaging through boxes in a room.
