Book of Disaster

Right on the pavilion in the middle of the lake, there was a plaque with the words "Penglai" written on it in a flourish of dragons and phoenixes.

Penglai Pavilion!

It is said that the late emperor once came here with his beloved concubine to go boating on the lake. The emperor was so pleased that he specially wrote a word and named it "Penglai".

Even after decades, those two characters are still vigorous and powerful, exuding a majestic and majestic royal aura.

At this moment, around the Penglai Pavilion, there are jade curtains hanging down, swaying gently, making clear and moving melodies like pearls and jade, soothing people's hearts.

And this jade curtain seemed to contain some special magical power. Even with Bai Qi's current cultivation and mental strength, he was unable to see through the scene behind the jade curtain.

"Bai Qi, you are finally here."

At this moment, a cold voice suddenly came into my ears.

Bai Qi's heart moved, but he saw a middle-aged scholar appeared in front of the East Lake. The man wore a jade hat, a long gown, and held a folding fan. He looked elegant and had an extraordinary temperament.

However, those eyes were like ten thousand year old ice, cold and indifferent, without any emotion, and keeping people away from them.

And at the moment that person appeared, the Shura Holy Land around Bai Qi shook unconsciously, as if it sensed some kind of danger and reacted instinctively.

"A powerful martial saint!"

Bai Qi frowned slightly and immediately paid more attention to this person.

After beheading the God General Pojun, Bai Qi's cultivation level increased greatly. Now, the only ones who could make him feel pressured were those high-level Martial Saints, or even the peak Martial Saints.

Obviously, this middle-aged scholar was one of them.

"Please come in. My master has been waiting for a long time."

The middle-aged scholar said coldly.

Although he said please, there was no sign of invitation on his face or with his hands.

After saying this, the middle-aged scholar turned around and walked slowly along the corridor by the lake towards the Penglai Pavilion in the center of the lake. He looked extremely cold and arrogant.

"This guy, does he think I'm doomed? He's too lazy to even be polite?"

Bai Qi said secretly in his heart.

But he did not say much. Instead, he followed the middle-aged scholar step by step, all the way to the Penglai Pavilion in the middle of the lake.

The corridor is long and straight, more than 1,300 meters long.

With the cultivation level of the middle-aged scholar and Bai Qi, this distance could be reached in an instant, but the two of them moved forward slowly and leisurely.

The sky was gloomy and the lake was calm. The two men said nothing along the way. The whole world was eerily silent.

The closer he got, the more Bai Qi felt that the front was extremely dangerous, as if what was in front of him was not a pavilion in the middle of the lake, but a ferocious beast from ancient times with its mouth wide open, ready to devour someone.

"Bang bang bang!"

Unconsciously, Bai Qi's heartbeat became faster and faster.

"You're scared."

The middle-aged scholar suddenly spoke, with a rare hint of sarcasm in his voice.

Before Bai Qi could answer, fog came from all around, and the middle-aged scholar in front of him suddenly disappeared with the fog. Bai Qi only felt the scenery around him change, and he suddenly appeared in another space.

The corridor disappeared, and the surrounding lake also disappeared. Only the Penglai Pavilion in front still stood there, becoming the only existence between heaven and earth.

The sky and the earth were hazy, as if in a fantasy, with only the crisp sound of jade curtains colliding echoing faintly.

"This is... the spiritual realm?!"

Bai Qi's heart trembled, and he subconsciously recalled the scene when he first met Li Yuxuan in Jinshui Lane.

At the beginning, I just looked at Li Yuxuan and was pulled into the spiritual realm by the other party. I was almost forced to self-destruct. Thinking back now, I still feel scared.

But soon, Bai Qi noticed something unusual and shook his head.

"No, this is not a spiritual realm. It should be an ability similar to a dimensional battlefield or an alternate dimension."

Bai Qi said secretly.

On that day, his mental power was only about 1500, far less than Li Yuxuan. Now his mental power has greatly increased, and he has the Ring of Truth with him. Although he is still not as good as Li Yuxuan, he has noticed some things that he had not noticed before.

Although this space is weird, time and space are both fluid, and it is definitely not a spiritual realm.

However, Bai Qi smiled coldly and quickly came to his senses.

Then, looking at the Penglai Pavilion in front of him, Bai Qi took the initiative to speak, his voice not concealing his sarcasm:

"Li Yuxuan, I've already come here as promised, why did you go to the trouble of pulling me into this space?"

"Or is it that you, the Grand Prince's Protector, are not confident in your own abilities and are afraid that I will run away?"

hum!

As soon as the voice fell, the world suddenly became quiet. You could hear a pin drop, and even the faint sound of the jade curtain disappeared.

The atmosphere was horribly depressing.

"Sharp teeth and sharp mouths."

After a long time, a stern voice came from Penglai Pavilion.

The next moment, the sound of jade chimes and bells rang out, and the jade curtain automatically opened, revealing a door.

Li Yuxuan's figure appeared in the portal. He was wearing armor and a cold, emotionless black iron mask on his face. He looked like a demon god walking out of the underworld. He was sitting in the Penglai Pavilion with a sword in his hand. Through the open portal, he was looking at Bai Qi coldly.

The two looked at each other, and time seemed to stop at that moment.

Although he had been mentally prepared, when they actually met, Bai Qi still felt that this destined villain was far more powerful than he had imagined.

With just one glance, Bai Qi immediately felt endless pressure piling up, pressing down on him like mountains.

But what made Bai Qi feel the most chilling was the eyes revealed under Li Yuxuan's black iron mask.

What kind of eyes are those!

Profound!

icy!

Like a bottomless black hole.

With just one glance, Bai Qi's mind and soul were involuntarily sucked into it, and his consciousness began to dissipate rapidly.

Despite having the Ring of Truth!

Although compared with before, his mental strength has become more than a little stronger.

But the end result remains the same.

The power gap between the two sides is not enough to be counted!

But soon, Bai Qi reacted and felt a chill in his heart.

"What a powerful mental force! I almost fell into his trap again."

Bai Qi was very apprehensive.

His mental strength was so high that it was simply astonishing in the eyes of other warriors.

But in front of Li Yuxuan, he is nothing.

The gap in mental strength between the two is too great.

Moreover, Li Yuxuan's eyes seemed to have some special magic. You couldn't look directly at them, otherwise your mind and soul would be attracted immediately, which was extremely terrifying.

If he had not been equipped with the Ring of Truth and his mental power had not increased greatly, he would have been controlled by Li Yuxuan by now.

"As expected of you, you are the child of destiny. You were able to break free from my control so quickly. You have improved compared to before..."

Li Yuxuan said calmly, without any emotion in his voice.
