Wayfarer-Chapter 337: The Red Moon Illusory Realm

Within the illusory realm, Xiao Nanfeng and Cui Haitang both stopped short after having fought each other for some time. The red clouds in the sky suddenly vanished, along with the countless lengths of red rope.

The paper figure was taken aback. With a gesture, it sent all the paper snakes slithering toward Xiao Nanfeng.

When they approached Xiao Nanfeng, however, they passed straight through his body without touching him. Xiao Nanfeng seemed to have turned ethereal—and then he slowly vanished from sight.

Not only had Xiao Nanfeng vanished, so too did Cui Haitang. It seemed as though they had never been in the illusory realm at all.

The paper snakes searched all over to no avail. Even the paper figure stepped forward and looked around in surprise, but neither cultivator could be seen.

"Red moon? Cursed," the paper figure said stiffly.

It reached out and tore apart the illusory realm.

Xiao Nanfeng felt as though he had been transported to a realm bathed in red light. There was nothing else that he could see, and even Cui Haitang had vanished.

"What's going on? Is this an illusory realm?" Xiao Nanfeng wondered.

Just then, a humanoid creature emerged from the red light, its body full of red fur. It gave off sinister cursed spiritual power. It roared and pounced at Xiao Nanfeng, its red fur exploding into beams of light. A furry paw slapped at Xiao Nanfeng, imbued with the power of a windstorm.

"What's this?!" Xiao Nanfeng exclaimed.

Xiao Nanfeng retaliated with a punch. A flaming burst of wind formed at the point of impact as Xiao Nanfeng was sent flying by the heavy blow.

"This monster's even stronger than Cui Haitang!" Xiao Nanfeng exclaimed.

The red-furred lifeform seemed to lock in on him and began to attack him repeatedly. After an indeterminate amount of time, as his spiritual power drained without regenerating, he ended up on the losing end. Then, two more red-furred lifeforms appeared from the red light, blocking his way.

"There's no end to this!" Xiao Nanfeng exclaimed.

Just then, a figure descended from the heavens, another red moon glowing to his back. "Thrust!"

Three of the lifeforms were sent careening into the red light, where they vanished from sight.

"Master? What are you doing here?!" Xiao Nanfeng exclaimed.

The newcomer was none other than Ku Jiang.

"How did you enter this place, Nanfeng?" Ku Jiang exclaimed.

"Where are we? I was fighting against Cui Haitang. Our red moons activated simultaneously as we fought, and I suddenly arrived at this place."

"So that's what happened. Your cultivation is improving at an astounding pace. Have you already reached Yin Body?"

"Master, where are we?"

"This is the red moon illusory realm, established by the forefather of the Taiqing Immortal Sect in his prime. Only those who have cultivated the Taiqing red moon can access it and send their opponents to it. This place is particularly mysterious, and I've only been able to cultivate by the outer extremities of the region."

"The red moon that we cultivate is the key to entering this realm?" Xiao Nanfeng asked.

"More or less. It's particularly dangerous here, however, and red-furred lifeforms roam the area."

"Master, in that case, what were you doing here?"

"I was attempting to intuit a few concepts in the realm when I suddenly sensed your presence and came over to have a look."

"What an incredible illusory realm. It can even allow cultivators far apart in reality to meet each other in the illusion."

"All those who have cultivated the Taiqing red moon can enter this realm, but you shouldn't stay long. It's far too dangerous."

"Master, how are your wounds?"

"Han Bingdie and I have recovered, and we'll be heading out of secluded cultivation soon enough."

"Thank goodness!" Xiao Nanfeng nodded fervently. "Master, I'm about to wage war against Nalan Qiankun. I hope you'll support me."

Xiao Nanfeng explained what had recently occurred to Ku Jiang.

Ku Jiang narrowed his eyes. "Nalan Qiankun's growing even more intolerable."

Just then, the sound of vigorous fighting could be heard from deep within the illusory realm.

"Is it Cui Haitang?" Xiao Nanfeng murmured.

Xiao Nanfeng and Ku Jiang walked toward the source of the sound, only to see countless red-furred lifeforms being sent deep into the midst of the red light, where they vanished from sight.

Two figures stood there: Cui Haitang and Nalan Qiankun. Nalan Qiankun stood protectively before Cui Haitang; it was he who had sent the red-furred lifeforms away.

"Husband, it's him!" Cui Haitang shouted upon seeing Xiao Nanfeng.

Nalan Qiankun turned toward Xiao Nanfeng, while Ku Jiang looked over at him.

"You're here too, Senior Brother Ku?" Nalan Qiankun asked, smiling.

"Nalan Qiankun? Are you intending to write to the sect master, inviting him to judge Xiao Nanfeng while you subvert the truth?" Ku Jiang demanded.

Nalan Qiankun stilled for a moment before he smiled again. "Xiao Nanfeng must have misunderstood something. Senior Brother, how could you trust such rumors?"

The red moon to the back of Nalan Qiankun's head suddenly glowed with blinding light.

"Nalan Qiankun, do you really intend to betray the sect?" Ku Jiang continued, frowning deeply.

"Senior Brother, what could you be talking about? I've always respected you. You've performed an exhaustive analysis of the Taiqing red moon, and I'd love to get a few pointers from you while we're here." Nalan Qiankun smiled.

"Nanfeng, return and wait for me!" Ku Jiang, sensing something amiss, hurriedly pushed Xiao Nanfeng out of the realm.

Xiao Nanfeng felt his surroundings whirl around him as he returned to the mouth of the volcano, back in reality.

"Be careful, Master!" Xiao Nanfeng whispered in worry.

He could sense that his master and Nalan Qiankun were about to have a dangerous all-out fight, but he wouldn't be able to interfere. All he could do was pray for his master.

Lava bubbled at the mouth of the volcano, but Ye Dafu and the others were already gone. He hurriedly flew out

only to see Ye Dafu falling from the skies, just having survived his tribulation. Ye Sanshui caught him. Ye Dafu's lackeys were flying over with Ye Shuangcheng's corpse as they glanced worriedly at Ye Dafu.

Xiao Nanfeng glanced all around him, intending to identify where Cui Haitang and the paper figure were located. He firmly believed that they had to be nearby.

Just then, however, multiple bursts of multicolored light shot toward them from the sea in the distance.

"What a pity," Xiao Nanfeng sighed.

He had no choice but to give up on his plan. He soared into the sky and flew over to Ye Sanshui and the others.

"King Xiao!" Ye Dafu's lackeys shouted.

"Are you alright, King Xiao?" Ye Sanshui exclaimed.

"Cui Haitang stalled me. We can't stay here any longer. Let's go!"

"Understood!" everyone shouted.

Xiao Nanfeng and his group of cultivators left in haste.

The Immortals in the distance found Xiao Nanfeng's group, but they didn't give chase. Rather, they flew straight to Blackflame Island and guarded it.

Not long later, Cui Haitang emerged from the side of the volcano.

"We greet Her Majesty! Your Majesty, are you alright?" one female Immortal asked.

Cui Haitang nodded. "I'm fine. What are all of you doing here?"

"His Majesty had us come protect you, Your Majesty."

Cui Haitang nodded, then continued, "Have you seen Xiao Nanfeng?"

"We saw him as we arrived. They were leaving. Allegedly, according to the demonic disciples on the island, Marquis Zi is dead. Before..." the female Immortal recounted.

Cui Haitang scowled. "They ran? They really managed to get away? Hmph!"
