Chapter 201 Xiaomeng, your wish is really simple~
"Junior brother!!!"
Shi Chuan didn't expect Jing Shu to do this. Before he could grab Jing You, Jing You rushed back and disappeared into the darkness as well.
"Xiaoyou!!!"
Shi Chuan gritted his teeth and decided to send Bei Yuze to a safe place first. With Master and Meng'er there, they would be fine!
During this time, he had to complete the task assigned to him by his master—to keep an eye on Bei Yuze!
Suddenly, a figure brushed past Shi Chuan and the other two and jumped in as well.
Shi Chuan was slightly taken aback. That person seemed to be the young sect master of the Yaoyang Sect!
What is he doing here?!
Shi Chuan shook his head, deciding to ignore it! He immediately set up a barrier around the exit of the hidden door to prevent the demonic energy from leaking out and attracting others.
After doing all this, he didn't forget to turn around and comfort Bei Yuze.
"Don't worry, with Master here, they will all be fine."
"Um......"

"Meng'er, Meng'er, it's time to get up."
Gu Meng frowned slightly. Who? Who was calling her?
"Meng'er, if you don't get up soon, your master and the others will come to wake you up themselves!"
Gu Meng slowly opened her eyes upon hearing this. A woman in green was sitting at the head of her bed, gently calling her to get up.
"Mother?" Gu Meng called out subconsciously, then looked around. This was indeed her room.
But strangely, she felt like she had forgotten something...
"Hmm? What's wrong?" Gu Yue responded softly, raising her hand to pinch Gu Meng's little face.
"Didn't you say yesterday that you would get up early today to help your master and senior brother purchase the things they need for their grand ceremony? What, did you forget after a good night's sleep?"
Gu Meng suddenly sat up. Oh right! Her master and senior brother were going to merge their registrations, and she had to help!
Thinking this, Gu Meng reached out and wrapped her arms around Gu Yue's waist, saying in a coquettish tone, "Mommy~ I didn't forget, I just couldn't help sleeping a little longer~"
Gu Yue smiled and patted Gu Meng on the back, "Alright, alright, hurry up and get up, it's already past midnight."
Gu Meng let go of her hand. "Then Mother, will you come with us later?"
Gu Yue gently tapped Gu Meng's nose. "Okay~ whatever Meng'er says is fine."
Gu Meng playfully stuck out her tongue and quickly got out of bed to wash up. Han Luo and the others were already waiting outside the room.
"Junior Sister, it seems you overslept!" Jingyou teased.
Gu Meng snorted, "My mother called me, it's not that late."
Although that's what they said, it was indeed getting late, so the group quickly went down the mountain and bought a lot of red and festive items from the locals.
Just as Gu Meng was having fun, a clear and melodious voice rang in her mind.
"Xiao Meng, how come you entered the illusion after I just took a nap?"
Gu Meng instantly became alert. "Who are you? How can you speak in my head?"
"Hmm...it seems my memories have been altered." Jiu Li emerged from Gu Meng's sea of consciousness and closed her eyes to sense it.
"It's demonic energy... This aura... So it's the Nightmare Beast."
Jiu Li opened her eyes again and snapped her fingers at Gu Meng, "Xiao Meng, wake up..."
As soon as Jiu Li finished speaking, the Nine-Turn Glazed Lamp in Gu Meng's sea of consciousness instantly emitted a strong light.
When Gu Meng opened her eyes again, the scene had changed once more. As far as the eye could see, there was no end in sight, as if she were in a world completely swallowed by a thick white fog.
Gu Meng subconsciously raised her hand and pressed her palm hard against the throbbing head, her fingers digging deep into her hair.
What were those things just now?
"That was an illusion set up for you by the Nightmare Beast," Jiu Li replied, separating herself from Gu Meng's body and sitting on Gu Meng's shoulder as she continued to explain.
"The Nightmare Beast is most adept at bewitching people, especially with the illusions it creates when it is about to die, which are the easiest to get lost in."
It can not only create beautiful dreams that people can't escape, but it can also keep people trapped in the most painful memories, tormenting them repeatedly, or create the things that people least want to see, repeating the cycle over and over again.
In short, they are extremely difficult to deal with.
Jiu Li couldn't help but sigh, "Xiao Meng, your wish is really simple~"
She had only glanced at it briefly; it was just the most ordinary interaction between her and her fellow disciples, oh, and Gu Meng's mother.
Gu Meng's eyes gradually hardened. "Soon... my wish will be fulfilled soon!"
After saying that, Gu Meng walked into the mist. Not far ahead, she could vaguely see several dark figures.
Gu Meng summoned the Crimson Bone Whip that Jun Mo had given her and slowly walked forward. When Gu Meng could see the full shape of the dark figure, she lowered her guard—it was her master and the others.
but……
Why are Senior Brother and Xiao You here too? Also, this guy looks familiar.
Several people stood silently like statues. Their eyes were closed, their faces were expressionless, as calm as a still lake, and their bodies were straight and upright without swaying.
Gu Meng carefully observed everyone, and stopped when she saw Bei Yan'an.
Bei Yan'an was the first to arrive, but he didn't seem to be in good condition.
Bei Yan'an's face showed extreme pain. Suddenly, a mouthful of bright red blood spurted from his mouth, splashing onto the ground. His body seemed to have lost all its supporting strength; his legs went weak, and he collapsed straight down.
Gu Meng's body reacted faster than her brain, catching Bei Yan'an a second before he fell to the ground, and then slowly laying him flat on the ground.
"Xiao Jiu, do you know where the remains of the Nightmare Beast are?" Gu Meng suddenly asked.
"You want to break this entire illusion directly?" Jiu Li instantly understood Gu Meng's idea. As long as the remains of the Nightmare Beast were destroyed, the illusion would end.
“I advise you not to do this,” Jiu Li said seriously.
"The illusion formed after the Nightmare Beast dies is the most domineering. Destroying the Nightmare Beast's remains will break the illusion, but they will never wake up again."
"What do we do now?" Gu Meng asked urgently.
"Xiao Meng! Calm down." Jiu Li flew to Gu Meng and gently wiped away the tears that Gu Meng herself didn't even notice.
“I have a way to save them. I can let you enter their illusion and awaken them. But you have to hurry, there are too many of them…”
"If there's not enough time, send me into their illusion too." Han Luo's voice suddenly rang out.
Gu Meng turned around and saw that Han Luo had already opened her eyes, her gaze clear and bright. However, when she saw Jing Shu, she frowned slightly.
How did they still get in?
"Master!" Gu Meng stood up, as if she had found her pillar of support.
Jiu Li nodded approvingly. As expected of the first person she had her eye on, the illusion was like child's play to him.
Jiu Li flew to Han Luo's side and gently touched Han Luo's forehead with her fingertip. Instantly, a mark of a glass lamp appeared on Han Luo's forehead.
