Chapter 386: The World After the Space
Li Mo quickly halted his steps, his face grave as he gazed towards the shimmering golden Chiyou Magic Sword, now less than a hundred meters away.
The scene before him was laid out clearly.
Yet, in such circumstances, Wei Zhuang—a living, breathing person—had suddenly vanished right before his eyes.
“Is there another space within this space?”
Li Mo stood firm, unwilling to take another step.
He murmured his guess, still trying to comprehend the situation.
Wei Zhuang had just disappeared from the spot directly in front of him.
The most likely explanation was that Wei Zhuang had entered another dimension entirely.
Li Mo had sensed something was off long before.
Though a swordsman, Wei Zhuang valued such legendary weapons highly, he wouldn’t disregard Li Mo’s warnings completely.
What was most bizarre was the way this sword had appeared.
Previously, when Li Mo had maximized his sensory abilities, he was much further away from the sword than he was now.
And yet, at that time, he hadn’t detected the sword at all.
After opening his eyes again, it was Wei Zhuang who first spotted the sword’s existence.
That meant…
Li Mo closed his eyes again, furrowing his brow, and reopened them.
“Just as I thought!”
In his perception, beyond a hundred meters ahead was still a void—there was simply no presence of any object.
In other words, this sword was an illusion!
It could deceive the human eye but not his unique Sensory abilities.
This was a trap!
Designed to lure those who covet the magic sword, causing them to rush here and be teleported to another space.
But where did this other space lead?
What sort of place was it?
Li Mo slowly raised his palm, intending to probe for any anomalies in the air before him.
After taking two steps forward, his hand indeed touched something that felt like a thin membrane.
Just with a slight pressure, his entire forearm slipped through, disappearing from view.
Confirming that another space indeed existed ahead, Li Mo was about to retract his arm.
But then, a tremendous force pulled him in entirely!
“Husband!”
From a distance, Fei Yan and the others watched in horror as the scene unfolded!
After Wei Zhuang’s mysterious disappearance, Li Mo had been exceptionally cautious.
But he never expected this space could actually suck someone in!
Li Mo felt darkness engulf him, unable to see anything.
It was as if he had returned to the blind state he suffered earlier.
His body felt like it was falling off a thousand-foot cliff, only sensing the cold wind rushing past his face.
However, after a brief moment of darkness, a bright light suddenly appeared.
The sudden brilliance stung his eyes.
Li Mo instinctively shut them, and when he finally reopened them, the sensation of falling had vanished, and his feet were safely on the ground—he didn’t know when that had happened.
Frowning, he looked up at the sky.
He saw a blazing sun hanging high in a clear, cloudless sky.
“Am I out?”
Li Mo’s heart quivered!
The sun blazing above him and the yellow sand beneath his feet both indicated he had traversed back to the real world from that empty space!
But…
How did he manage to escape?
Fei Yan and the Moon Goddess were still inside.
He had previously warned them to stay put and not move around.
All Li Mo could think about now was rushing back to find them!
Otherwise, with their personalities, they would undoubtedly wait in place until they met their demise!
As long as he knew where he was in the desert, returning to Loulan and re-entering that space wouldn’t be too difficult.
Surveying his surroundings, aside from the vast yellow sand and rising sand dunes, there wasn’t a living soul in sight.
“Wei Zhuang, Wei Zhuang!”
Li Mo shouted at the top of his lungs in the open sandy land.
Although Wei Zhuang had come in a moment before him, they were only separated by a brief two minutes.
If they arrived at the same location, surely Wei Zhuang should be around here too.
However, after calling out over a dozen times, there was no response from Wei Zhuang.
“Could it be that the teleportation points are different?”
Li Mo pondered suspiciously for a moment.
Then he looked up, squinting at the sun.
Based on the position of the sun, he roughly oriented himself.
Loulan was to the east in the desert; as long as his luck wasn’t terrible, he wouldn’t go off track, and walking east should lead him to Loulan.
With his deep internal energy, he could last a few days even without water and food in this desert.
The most important thing now was to get back to Loulan quickly and bring Fei Yan and the others out of that space.
Having determined the direction, Li Mo lifted his leg and walked briskly forward.
As he climbed over a sand dune, he spotted a figure lying in the yellow sand up ahead.
Upon closer examination, it was none other than Wei Zhuang, who had entered before him!
Li Mo immediately quickened his pace and rushed over.
Upon reaching Wei Zhuang’s side and seeing that he was still breathing, he let out a heavy sigh of relief.
The Shark Fang Sword that had always been by his side was still tightly grasped in Wei Zhuang’s hand.
“Wei Zhuang, Wei Zhuang, wake up!”
Li Mo squatted down and shook him vigorously.
After a few moments, Wei Zhuang’s tightly closed eyelids finally stirred, slowly opening his eyes.
“You… you’re here? Where is—cough cough~ what place is this?”
At that moment, Wei Zhuang seemed utterly drained, panting heavily after waking up.
With Li Mo’s support, he struggled to stand up, using the Shark Fang Sword as a crutch.
Li Mo forced out a smile, “Of course, I came to find you. I knew that sword was problematic; no matter how many times I called you, you wouldn’t listen.”
“I… I don’t know what happened to me.”
Wei Zhuang clutched his forehead in pain, as if a million needles were stabbing him.
Li Mo shook his head, “You were enchanted.”
At that moment, it was clear that Wei Zhuang had been bewitched, or else he wouldn’t have acted that way.
“Enchanted?”
A flicker of righteous indignation sparked in Wei Zhuang’s eyes as he gradually regained his composure.
To be enchanted and completely lose control was a profound disgrace for him.
“If you want revenge, we must first return to Loulan. Let’s not waste any time! Move!”
Seeing Wei Zhuang regaining his strength, Li Mo pivoted and continued forward.
Right now, his urgency surpassed Wei Zhuang’s by countless degrees.
The only being capable of setting such an illusion in that place had to be the Chiyou Demon Spirit.
But the real question was, what was the Chiyou Demon Spirit’s intent in laying such a trap and luring them in?
Was it genuinely trying to send them out of that space?
That was definitely impossible!
Yet now, the undeniable fact was that both he and Wei Zhuang had indeed emerged from that space!
Donghuang Taiyi was already dead.
If it wasn’t the work of the Chiyou Demon Spirit, could there be other entities enclosed within that dimension?
