Chapter 593 Nightmare
"Wen Nian, watch out!"
Several silver needles pierced the demon beast's vital points in an instant. The three-headed monkey demon, who was preparing to launch a sneak attack, immediately foamed at the mouth and fell off Fu Wennian's back three inches away. It twitched twice and then stopped breathing.
Luo Qing'an rushed over, pulled Fu Wennian to her side, and reached out to touch his forehead.
Fu Wennian was stunned for a moment, and only when he felt the warmth of her palm did he come back to his senses.
"What's wrong with you? How can you be so absent-minded at a time like this?" Luo Qing'an was angry, her eyes almost spitting fire.
If she hadn't acted in time, he would have been injured.
Fu Wennian's eyes were filled with deep weariness. He pressed his temples, forcibly suppressing the inexplicable unease in his heart, and comforted her, "I'm sorry, I was distracted and made you worry about me."
The anger in Luo Qing'an's eyes faltered. Far from being comforted, she actually felt a sense of fear.
"Wen Nian, have you been having that nightmare these past few days?"
Fu Wennian paused for a moment, then pursed his lips, neither saying yes nor no.
He knew he couldn't hide it from her, especially since she was a highly skilled doctor. She could tell whether he was tired, worried, or restless just by examining his spiritual veins.
Cultivators don't dream frequently; dreams are a form of warning, a hint from the heavens to all living beings. His recurring nightmares likely indicate that nothing good is about to happen.
He wasn't afraid of anything else. Zhenfeng had his senior brother, junior sister, and junior brother, and his senior brother had gone to pick up his fourth junior brother. The Fu family had many outstanding descendants, so even without him, nothing serious would happen.
He didn't know what to do with Qingqing.
Luo Qing'an saw the hesitation in his eyes, and the panic in her heart instantly intensified. She couldn't help but cup his face in her hands, demanding confirmation: "You said that after this competition is over, we will go home and hold the marriage ceremony. You won't lie to me, right?"
Fu Wennian moved his lips, a hint of vulnerability and helplessness showing in his eyes.
From childhood to adulthood, many people praised him for being mature and composed, and for having the demeanor of a young master from a first-class family. Only in front of her could he relax like a real child, playing and laughing with her, joining the sect together, and dreaming about all the wonderful things to come.
They were childhood sweethearts, inseparable since they were little, and grew up together.
From the moment he first saw her next door, she was a part of his future, and as time went by, she became clearer and clearer.
How much he longed for the moment when he and she would engrave their names on the Stone of Three Lives and witness the end of time together... He had been thinking about it for so many years, and finally, the time had come when their hearts were truly in love!
His thin, chapped lips parted slightly as he gently pressed down on her shoulders. Several times, he couldn't make a sound, but looking into her hopeful eyes, he mustered the courage to say resolutely, "Yes, Qingqing, we will go home. I will give you the grandest marriage ceremony. We will always be together. I will never lie to you."
Fu Wennian had thought about it. The cycle of heaven and the cause and effect are fixed, but what's wrong with overturning all of this for Qingqing? Even if there are insurmountable dangers, he will try his best to live and stay with her.
He wouldn't lie to her.
But when he suddenly lost his senses and was taken to Qimingzhai by an unknown force, and used his body to crash into the barrier at the entrance to the outer realm, he realized with despair that the power of Heaven was beyond human control.
He is so insignificant.
They couldn't even take back their own bodies or stop the evil consequences of their fate from continuing.
Spiritual energy surged wildly through his body, while a chilling, bone-deep cold churned from his sea of consciousness, gradually filling his entire vision. The thing was enveloped in large clumps of black energy, firmly residing within his sea of consciousness; even without getting close, he could feel its immense power and terror.
It was chilling and terrifying.
When did such a thing appear in his sea of consciousness? Why had he never noticed it before? Why was it controlling his body to destroy the barrier of the outer realm?
What lies beyond the Outer Realm?
The God-Demon Sealing Array, the God-Demon Sealing Array... is that what it's for?
It was a demon! It was the demons who attacked him, without firing a single shot, allowing this direct disciple of the Tianqian Sect's Array Peak to easily destroy the barrier without anyone being on guard.
He was a pawn they had chosen, but were destined to be discarded.
"boom--!"
His body slammed hard against the entrance barrier of the Outer Realm. Fortunately, all the bones in his body shattered in an instant. He was in so much pain that he couldn't breathe, but his body was like a puppet suspended by strings, as if he couldn't feel the damage to his body at all. He once again unleashed all his spiritual power and crashed into the barrier.
There was another loud noise.
He suddenly knelt down and coughed up large amounts of blood.
His vision blurred, alternating between black and white. His controlled mind was momentarily disconnected due to the intense physical pain and the black energy in his sea of consciousness.
Fu Wennian dared not hesitate for a moment. Ten high-level spirit talismans transformed into a spirit-locking array, suppressing him firmly within the array. He coughed up blood, using all his strength to suppress the icy aura within his sea of consciousness, but despair slowly surfaced in his eyes.
If he truly cannot control his body, in order to prevent the demons from succeeding and to prevent the sect from being hindered, he will definitely be determined to die and end his own life, never again breaking the seal of the entrance to the Outer Realm.
But then he would really have to break his promise to Qingqing.
He couldn't even say goodbye to her...
An uncontrollable pain shot through his heart, and this momentary agony was captured by the black energy within his consciousness, which swiftly regained control of him.
The talisman was instantly torn apart by a power containing both spiritual and demonic energy. This time, "he" had black, empty eyes, and his hands began to form hand seals uncontrollably.
Bright spiritual light and complex runes gradually formed a powerful magic array in front of him. The light shone on his bloodless face, revealing his unparalleled talent in array formations.
Fu Wennian never imagined that one day his once-proud talent would become an accomplice to evil, dragging him step by step into an abyss from which there was no return.
He never imagined that his tireless efforts to cultivate day and night, just to replace Zhenfeng and his master in repairing the great formation, would become a sharp blade, cruelly leading him to the other side of the righteous path and turning him into an enemy of his former fellow disciples.
"stop……"
His eyes were red as he spoke with difficulty.
Even if the barrier doesn't shatter after this attack, it will be severely damaged. At that time, the demons will be able to easily enter the outer realm and destroy the sealing array between gods and demons. He cannot, he cannot be a sinner of the sect! His master sacrificed himself for the world, how can he become an accomplice of the demons?
No! No!
Seeing that the formation was about to be completed, Fu Wennian had no other choice. His breath hitched, and his eyes flashed with a resolute light. The spiritual energy in his dantian seemed to sense its master's decision and began to stir restlessly.
