The difficult problem had been easily solved by the Little Mouse. Fang Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Even now, he still didn't know what race the Little Mouse was.
Back then, he had just casually bought it. He really hadn't expected to find such a treasure.
Now, Fang Chen had discovered many of the Little Mouse's abilities. The first was that it could eat. No matter what it was, it could swallow it.
The second was that its teeth were unimaginably hard. Even if it was a meteorite, it could easily bite through it.
The third was that its cultivation speed was like a rocket. It was something Fang Chen couldn't compare to.
Furthermore, ever since it had obtained the Scarlet Cloud Beast King's inheritance, the Little Mouse had changed a lot. Fang Chen was even thinking that once he left the Divine Illusion Space, he would definitely have to properly understand the Little Mouse.
After the little mouse finished swallowing the pure aura of the Yellow Springs Sect, with a swoosh, it jumped onto Xia Houwu's face. With a poof, it farted.
Not bad, you didn't see wrong. It was just a fart.
After the Little Mouse finished farting, it mischievously jumped back onto Fang Chen's shoulder. What made Fang Chen even more shocked was that the Little Mouse's fart had actually caused the unconscious Fang Chen to wake up.
Cough cough
Xiahou Wu, who still hadn't opened his eyes, suddenly coughed several times. Then he opened his eyes, his hands constantly fanning in front of his head.
"What is that smell? It stinks," muttered Xiahou Wu.
Fang Chen's eyes widened. Looking at Xiahou Wu, he laughed heartily.
Suddenly, Xiahou Wu turned to look at Fang Chen. His eyes were filled with a bloodthirsty light. The instant he saw Fang Chen, Xiahou Wu felt an urge to kill him. But he forcibly suppressed it.
"Xiahou Wu, are you alright?" Fang Chen saw that something was wrong with Xiahou Wu and asked.
"Fang Chen!"
Xiahou Wu's voice was hoarse as he looked at Fang Chen. His body was emitting a wild killing intent.
"Why are you here?"
"I heard that there was a mysterious valley here, so I came to take a look. I didn't expect you to be in an illusion, so I came in," Fang Chen said.
Hearing this, Xia Houwu sank into silence. After a long while, Xia Houwu stared at Fang Chen and said, "Fang Chen, thank you."
Xiahou Wu knew that Fang Chen had come in because he saw that he was inside the illusory array. He was very moved in his heart.
"Xia Houwu, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that something was wrong with Xia Houwu, Fang Chen asked.
Xia Houwu shook his head and said, "Fang Chen, you should not have come here. I'm afraid that I will not be able to control the evil Qi in my body and will attack you."
Hearing Xia Houwu's words, Fang Chen was even more puzzled. "After you fell off the cliff, what did you experience?"
Hearing this, Xia Houwu looked at Fang Chen with some confusion.
"That day, I just happened to be passing by. But I was a bit late. By the time I saw you, you had already been forced down the cliff by Greed and Huo Xie." Fang Chen explained.
Xia Houwu nodded, sinking into his memories.
"I originally thought that after falling off the cliff, I would definitely die. But what I didn't expect was that not only did I not die, I even accidentally absorbed the Blood Essence of a Protector of the Yellow Spring Sect." Xia Houwu slowly said.
"The Blood Essence of a Protector of the Yellow Spring Sect?!"
Fang Chen involuntarily cried out. A Protector of the Yellow Spring Sect was a True Condensation expert at his peak. His Blood Essence was definitely incomparably domineering.
"That's right, the Blood Essence of a Protector of the Yellow Spring Sect is extremely domineering. After I absorbed it, I felt like I couldn't control myself. My body was filled with endless killing intent. Finally, I was inadvertently disturbed by the Blood Essence of a Protector of the Yellow Spring Sect, causing me to randomly attack others.
"However, because of this, I was able to safely leave the cliff. Under the guidance of the Blood Essence of a Protector of the Yellow Spring Sect, I came here and entered the illusion array. After I entered the illusion array, I was completely blinded by the Blood Essence and lost myself. At that time, there was only one thought in my mind, and that was to kill all the cultivators who tried to break the illusion array."
Fang Chen finally understood the twists and turns of Xia Houwu's story.
Looking at the grave and stern Xia Houwu, Fang Chen didn't dare to imagine just how much pain Xia Houwu had to endure.
"Fang Chen, thank you."
Xia Houwu nodded to Fang Chen. His voice was hoarse as he said, "I know. You helped me absorb the Blood Essence of a Protector in my Qi Sea. Because of this, I was able to completely awaken."
"Xia Houwu, there's no need for this between us," said Fang Chen.
"However, although the protector's blood essence in my qi sea has been refined by you, the killing intent within the protector's blood essence has already seeped into my blood. The current me is filled with ruthlessness. My head is filled with killing intent. Sometimes, I am simply unable to control it," said Xiahou Wu.
Fang Chen nodded. He understood Xia Houwu's current situation very well. If Xia Houwu's mind wasn't firm enough, he would definitely once more be blinded by the Yellow Spring Sect's aura. At that time, he would truly become a killing machine.
"Xia Houwu, you have to hold on," said Fang Chen.
"Take me away from here!" A sinister expression suddenly appeared on Xia Houwu's face as he crazily shouted.
"Xia Houwu, what's wrong?" Fang Chen hastily asked upon seeing this.
"Under this illusion array, there is a remnant of the Yellow Spring Sect. He is struggling at death's door to heal himself. As long as I am in this illusion array, I will be able to sense his aura. After a long time, I will lose my mind." Xiahou Wu said each word with great difficulty.
Fang Chen sensed Xia Houwu's pain and immediately said, "You and I will work together to break the foundation of this illusion formation. Then we'll leave this place."
As soon as Fang Chen said this, the Little Mouse understood tacitly. It madly ran, bringing Xia Houwu and Fang Chen to find the foundation of the formation.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh
With Fang Chen and Xia Houwu working together, destroying the foundation of the formation was far too easy.
In just three minutes, they had destroyed five foundations. "Continue," said Fang Chen.
The Little Mouse was extremely familiar with illusion formations. It didn't take long for them to find all the foundations. At this time, Xia Houwu was already on the verge of going crazy. He did his best to hold onto his last bit of reason as he worked together with Fang Chen to destroy the foundation of the formation.
BOOM!
When the final foundation was destroyed by the two of them, the dusky aura in the valley completely dissipated. In the center of the illusion formation, a small altar appeared.
This altar was the control center of the illusion formation.
"AHH!"
The current Xia Houwu seemed to have gone crazy. The closer he got to the control center, the more he couldn't bear it.
"Fang Chen!" shouted Xia Houwu.
Fang Chen saw this and said, "Xia Houwu, don't get close."
Xia Houwu shook his head. "When we destroy the control center, the surviving member of the Yellow Spring Sect will definitely appear. The two of us will work together to deal with him."
Xia Houwu's expression was sinister as he did his best to hold onto his last bit of reason. Fang Chen nodded and quickly appeared in front of the control center.
In an instant, a dense aura of the Yellow Spring Sect wrapped around Fang Chen.
"Hmph, you want to confuse me?"
Fang Chen coldly snorted and the Hidden Star Sword fiercely danced. At the same time, Xia Houwu also exploded with an extremely powerful attack.
RUMBLE!
With a fierce explosion, the small altar was instantly destroyed by the two of them.
The instant the altar was destroyed, an illusory figure appeared in front of the two of them.
"Damned human, you dare disturb my recuperation?"
Fang Chen narrowed his eyes and stared at this Yellow Spring Sect survivor. He didn't say anything.
"Brat, as my servant, you actually dare to collude with a human!" Seeing Xia Houwu, the Yellow Spring Sect survivor's expression changed.
"He's my good friend," said Fang Chen gravely.
AHH!
When this illusory figure saw Xia Houwu, the latter let out a miserable shriek. Within his blood, a murderous aura was unceasingly surging.
"Fang Chen, hurry and attack!"
Xia Houwu was afraid he wouldn't be able to endure. Once he lost his reason, he wouldn't even recognize Fang Chen. At that time, he would definitely be at the mercy of the Yellow Spring Sect survivor.
"Seventh level of the Water and Fire Sword Art."
The seventh level of the Water and Fire Sword Art was instantly unleashed. Boundless sword intent enveloped the illusory figure.
"Damned human!"
Kacha!
When Fang Chen's Hidden Star Sword struck the illusory figure, the illusory figure instantly dissipated.
"Yes, an illusion."
When Fang Chen saw this, his expression changed slightly.
"He's underground and is heavily injured. This is a chance!" Xia Houwu shouted crazily.
Fang Chen nodded. He held the Hidden Star Sword in his hand and suddenly slashed at the ground. Suddenly, a sword light flashed and a crack appeared on the ground.
Fang Chen didn't hesitate to enter the crack.
