Help, I’m Being Forced to Marry a Frail and Sickly Immortal Doctor! 58p1

Chapter 58: The Vast Sea That Once Was p1

“If even I forget, who else can…”

At this moment, the Mirage Sea Realm was in a state of chaos.

After devouring Ning Ruoque and Yan Lingge, the black shadow disappeared in an instant.

Yin Buran caught Ning Ruoque’s storage bag and was stunned for a moment.

However, countless voids suddenly appeared, and a sea-tide-like mist surged from the “horizon” of the Mirage Sea Realm, engulfing everything in its path.

The land under Yin Buran’s feet trembled continuously, and intricate and obscure formation patterns lit up.

Only then did she realize that this was actually one of the formation eyes that controlled the Mirage Sea Realm.

Then, her body became light, and she fell into the darkness amidst the shouts of Chu Xuan and Si Mingyue.

The whistling wind brushed past her cheeks, making her subconsciously close her eyes.

The originally empty world was now transformed into countless colors and twisted into all sorts of scenes.

Yin Buran slowly opened her eyes when she heard the familiar sound of a sword’s hum.

This time, without Ning Ruoque to lead her, she even stumbled when she landed.

She saw a deep red and thick layer of clouds piled up on the horizon, and the stench of demon blood filled every breath.

There were rubble and white bones everywhere, and the withered yellow grass was still stained with dark brown blood.

Such a dull color tone would make one feel depressed with just one more look.

This was the ancient battlefield.

To be precise, it was the ancient battlefield that Yin Buran had buried deep in her memory and did not want to recall the most.

The wind of the wasteland blew towards Yin Buran, lifting her robes and long hair.

She walked forward a few steps, her skirt brushing past the messy rocks and withered grass, stained with varying shades of red.

Further on, there was no life at all. Only a few sword marks, hundreds of zhangs long, had cut the land into pieces.

An extremely terrifying aura still lingered on the sword marks, as if one would be torn apart just by getting close.

A hundred years ago, the Demon God had led the entire demon race to invade the human world and the cultivation world.

When the major immortal sects were unable to spare any effort, the Sword Venerable, in order to quell the Demon God’s chaos, had come alone to the front line between the cultivation world and the demon race, which was the deepest part of the ancient battlefield.

The next day, the tide of demonic beasts retreated, and the Immortal Alliance announced to the entire cultivation world that the Sword Venerable’s soul lamp had been extinguished.

This meant that Ning Ruoque had already fallen.

But Yin Buran did not believe it.

She ignored the persuasion of the Medicine King and Qin Jiangli and came here to search for three days and three nights, enduring the fierce wind and the thick demonic aura, but she could not even find Ning Ruoque’s bones.

Her eyes were filled with red. She knelt on the blood-soaked land, only feeling dizzy.

The scope of this battle was too large, and the people from the immortal sects had come here to investigate several rounds.

Yin Buran had searched for a long time, but still found nothing.

Because her hands were clenched too tightly, her nails had cut a bloody wound in her palm. But she was like a person who could not feel pain, staring blankly at everything before her.

The sound of the sword’s hum was endless, making the demons of the four directions not dare to cross this boundary.

But the person holding the sword would never come back.

From then on, Yin Buran never went to the ancient battlefield again.

Now, revisiting the old place, she almost immediately saw the “Ning Ruoque” lying in a deep pit.

That person was soaked in a pool of blood, her originally clear eyes a patch of gloom. A huge wound was also on her chest, and she was on the verge of death.

Even though her body was so broken, “Ning Ruoque” still instinctively murmured, “Ranran…”

Yin Buran’s gaze paused for a moment, and in a flash, it moved away from “Ning Ruoque.”

Her expression was indifferent, and her eyelashes trembled, but a teardrop rolled down from her eye and disappeared into her collar.

When she looked up again, only anger remained in her eyes.

She raised her hand and summoned her zither. The strings trembled, emitting a clear and pleasant sound.

The world was suddenly clean, and then the scene before her actually had a tendency to collapse.

A black shadow came out from nowhere and pounced on Yin Buran.

The latter did not dodge or evade, and even took a step forward. “Life and death separation? Unrequited love? Which illusion do you think can trap me?”

The zither music sounded again. It was clearly just an ordinary heart-calming song, but at this moment, it was filled with a thick killing intent.

“Get lost!”

An invisible wave of air spread out, and at the same time as it scattered the black shadow, it also shattered the illusion before her.

Yin Buran stepped into the void of darkness without any hesitation. She knew what she had to do.

She was going to find Ning Ruoque.

The surrounding scene changed abruptly. In the blink of an eye, Yin Buran had returned to the small island from before.

Unlike before entering the illusionary realm, at this moment, the Mirage Sea Realm was filled with overlapping illusions and distorted light spots, making one feel nauseous.

If the Mirage Sea Realm was a tightly constructed artifact, then this artifact was now in overdrive, indiscriminately dragging everyone into the illusionary realm.

As far as the eye could see were people standing in a daze, having lost their minds.

And the formation under Yin Buran’s feet was still absorbing spiritual energy without restraint. If this continued, it would collapse sooner or later.

At that time, the people who were still trapped in the illusionary realm would most likely have their spiritual souls severely damaged.

Yin Buran swept her gaze across the crowd and walked straight towards Si Mingyue.

The dignified Palace Master of Heavenly Eon Palace was now squatting on the ground, playing with copper coins. Her purple pupils were covered with a thin layer of mist, like a frosted glass in winter.

She pouted, looking as if she were about to cry. “Fate cannot be changed. What’s the point of divining the result…”

After her cultivation was suppressed, she could not resist the power of the Mirage Sea Realm, and even she had fallen into the illusionary realm.

Yin Buran’s face was dark. She flicked her finger and hit Si Mingyue’s forehead hard.

“Wake up. Help me divine where Ning Ruoque is.”

The latter’s eyes instantly regained their clarity.

“Eh?” She tilted her head in a daze.

Yin Buran was not polite at all. She raised her hand and was about to flick a second time when Si Mingyue had already come to her senses and hurriedly covered her forehead.

“Wait… wait a minute, I’m already awake!”

She quickly came to the same conclusion as Yin Buran—

They must stop the Mirage Sea Realm from operating as soon as possible!

She closed her eyes and formed a seal. “Ning Ruoque, seems to be at the core of the Mirage Sea Realm…”

Yin Buran nodded slightly, and the paulownia wood zither played. A wave of spiritual energy that could clear one’s mind and refresh one’s spirit rippled with the zither music.

Many people were affected by this and were already trying to struggle awake.

Yin Buran herself was not good at breaking formations and could only use this method to wake everyone up.

So Si Mingyue walked towards Chu Xuan, who was not far away.

Then she heard Chu Xuan say in a low voice, “As expected of me, to be able to create such a genius artifact.”

Si Mingyue: “…”

Just as she was wondering why this person was not yet awake, she watched as a strange black shadow rose from behind Chu Xuan.

The black shadow transformed into the phantom of a fox, and its nine fluffy tails swayed coquettishly, as if greeting her.

Si Mingyue’s expression changed, and some not-so-pleasant memories came to her mind.

It was actually a nine-tailed fox!

This kind of monster was best at creating illusions, and then devouring a person’s spiritual soul when they were gradually lost.

Not only that, the nine-tailed fox itself was an extremely intelligent monster, and its ability to confuse people’s minds was one in a million.

Every time a nine-tailed fox appeared in the world, it would bring about a great disaster.

The last time Si Mingyue had seen a nine-tailed fox was when she was fighting alongside her companions on the ancient battlefield.

That nine-tailed fox was extremely powerful, and its strength was not inferior to any of them. It had even almost made them stay there.

No wonder the cultivators who had failed the trial before had lost their spiritual souls. It was probably this fox’s doing.

Si Mingyue did not dare to be careless and summoned a string of silver bells and threw them over.

As soon as the bells rang, the nine-tailed fox separated from Chu Xuan’s body, leaped into the air, and smiled at Si Mingyue.

Its mouth was naturally curled up, and its smile was exceptionally teasing.

Countless tails fell from behind it, swept past Si Mingyue, and all rushed towards Yin Buran.

Yin Buran frowned slightly, slapped out a talisman to block, and the paulownia wood zither had to stop playing and turn to defense.

But as soon as the zither music stopped, the people who had already woken up actually did not last for a few breaths before they were once again dragged into the illusionary realm.

They were all cultivators with shallow experience, and their spiritual souls were far from as condensed as Yin Buran’s. They could not resist the double erosion of the Mirage Sea Realm and the nine-tailed fox at all.

The bells chased after the fox, and could temporarily fix its figure or disturb its direction.

But after a while, the fox would break free.

It didn’t care about this restriction at all and instead jumped around leisurely in the air.

When Si Mingyue was about to chant a spell, it would come up and swipe at her face, forcing her to stop.

It was as if it had anticipated that they were short of manpower and their cultivation was suppressed, so it deliberately teased them slowly like this.

Her peripheral vision caught a glimpse of Yin Buran trapped in the siege of the fox tails, unable to get out. Si Mingyue was extremely anxious.

She did not think and picked up her staff and hit Chu Xuan with it, hitting Chu Xuan’s back squarely, making a muffled sound.

“Chu Xuan, Chu Xuan! Stop forging your iron! Come and help! I can’t hold on anymore!”

Heaven knows, she was not good at frontal combat at all.

Seeing that the fox’s phantom was about to rush to her, she could only use her staff to madly hit Chu Xuan’s head while shouting, “Help! Ahhhhh—”

A smiling fox face flashed by. Si Mingyue was so scared that she closed her eyes, trying to take out a talisman from her pocket to fix it.

But with a forceful wave of her hand, only a ball of ice water fell from the air, not even a single fox hair was wet.

Si Mingyue was greatly shocked.

Wrong… one!

This was a little thing that Chu Xuan had given her to play tricks on people!

The fox let out a mocking cry, “Hee hee hee hee—”

Before it could finish laughing, a giant axe fell from the sky, carrying a fierce and domineering fire spiritual energy.

The fox’s fur stood on end, and it urgently jumped out a section, but a piece of its black shadow was still cut off.

It arched its back warily, no longer as at ease as before.

Chu Xuan touched her head and let out a light hiss. “Fortune-teller, can’t you use your iron rod to hit the monster and use a spirit talisman to call me?”

After just experiencing a “thrilling and exciting” chaotic battle, Si Mingyue’s ornaments were a mess, and even the hood of her cloak had slipped off halfway.

She looked at Chu Xuan pitifully. “I forgot.”

Chu Xuan sighed, picked up the giant axe, and rushed forward, leaving only one sentence, “Go and help Yin Buran.”

She was responsible for stopping the nine-tailed fox, while Si Mingyue turned her head and ran towards Yin Buran.

She simply tore off the troublesome cloak and veil, and an obscure and difficult-to-understand incantation was recited from her mouth. The staff hit the ground heavily—

The phantom of a starry sky appeared behind Yin Buran. The next second, the sun and moon were reversed, and all the fox tails were fixed in place, and even the nine-tailed fox phantom’s figure was also stagnant.

Yin Buran seized the time to calm her breathing.

The zither music sounded once again. This time, the range of influence was even greater than before, and the lotus flowers condensed from spiritual energy continued to bloom, covering a large area of land in no time.

Those with high cultivation were the first to wake up. After figuring out the situation, they hurriedly woke up more people.

However, the Mirage Sea Realm had not stopped operating, and Yin Buran’s spell could not stop either.

Chu Xuan was fighting fiercely with the furious nine-tailed fox.

At this time, the nine-tailed fox phantom had expanded more than ten times, and every time its nine tails swung, it could create a deep pit on the ground.

Chu Xuan couldn’t help but curse in her heart. This fox’s cultivation must have surpassed the Spirit Refinement realm. How on earth did it get in!

More and more cultivators joined the battle. The spiritual light of countless spells exploded in the air, and the earth and stones shattered.

Qingtong had just woken up. After seeing the scene before her clearly, she was so scared that she grabbed Yin Buran’s sleeve. “Little Senior Sister!”

She had been in several chaotic battles, so she was not afraid of monsters.

She was afraid that with such a large-scale spell, Yin Buran’s body would not be able to hold on.
