Chapter 1798: Chapter 19: Like a Demon

The coldness attacked the hearts of several people almost instantly!

The white fog surged, and those pairs of eerie double pupils looked like the gaze of a mysterious giant beast from the abyss, exuding an extreme indifference.

Even though she was already a Void Refining Cultivator, at this moment, Jiang Yi suddenly felt a chilling illusion in her limbs!

She couldn’t help but want to escape, but more horrifyingly, at this moment, she seemed to be frozen, unable to move at all!

She seemed to have fallen into an abyss filled with gravitational pull. No matter how she struggled, she could only helplessly watch the outside world recede rapidly from her sight, dimming…

A sudden crisis merged with a sense of powerlessness.

At this instant, an unprecedented extreme terror surged to the top of her head!

“Retreat!”

Just as Jiang Yi’s heart was trembling, the Wu Monkey King suddenly uttered a low shout.

His eyes burned like golden fire, with Buddha’s Light glowing around him like a lamp, illuminating the surroundings and soothing the spirit.

This shout was like a hand suddenly reaching into the abyss and pulling Jiang Yi out from despair!

Swish—

The world suddenly restored its color!

Jiang Yi gasped for air as if revived from drowning, her eyes still retaining a trace of fear.

Yet she immediately looked up.

Only to see those double-pupil creatures around them, like living corpses, silently drifting towards them in the white fog.

Slightly shifting her gaze, she saw that Ji Ying and Liang Wuji were in even worse shape, faces pale, and sweat drenching their foreheads, where their flawless bodies should have been.

Only Wang Ba and Wu Monkey King stood in front of the three, Wu Monkey King’s face glowing with golden light, while Wang Ba’s eyes were fully crimson, and he had unknowingly already summoned the frost-white Skyfall Blade.

Though their expressions were grave, they didn’t lose composure like the others.

“Retreat!”

At this moment, Wu Monkey King shouted again.

The trio finally snapped out of it, initially thinking of fighting, but upon hearing the seriousness in Wu Monkey King’s tone, they dared not delay, swiftly retreating towards the Little Cang World’s direction.

Meanwhile, Wang Ba and Wu Monkey King also kept watching those double-pupil creatures while retreating rapidly towards the inside of the realm.

Those double-pupil creatures in the white mist moved at a pace neither too fast nor too slow, but their double pupils oddly turned collectively as the four humans and one ape retreated!

As if seeing them off.

Swish—

Back within the protective barrier, Jiang Yi and the others still felt no sense of security but suppressed the tension and anxiety in their hearts.

Thankfully, Wang Ba and Wu Monkey King didn’t keep them waiting long and returned almost simultaneously.

“Let’s go, back inside the realm!”

Wang Ba quickly scanned the three humans and one monkey, ensuring their safety, then with unprecedented seriousness, said quietly.

At this moment, none of them had the mind to discuss the identity of these double-pupil creatures; they only had one thought: to leave, as far as possible!

This was a feeling stemming from the Primordial Spirit deep within the Void Refining Cultivators, almost instinctual.

The realm membrane opened rapidly, and the four humans and one monkey quickly entered the Taoist Field within the membrane.

Just as they entered the Taoist Field, Wang Ba suddenly halted slightly.

“What’s wrong?”

Ji Ying noticed Wang Ba’s change and was startled, like a bird frightened by a bow.

A fleeting strange color flashed in Wang Ba’s eyes, but he slightly shook his head, expression unchanged:

“It’s nothing…”

After speaking, he stepped onto the high stage of the Taoist Field.

Through the realm membrane, he looked out to the Outer Realm.

In the vast white fog, faint shadows were visible.

Expression solemn, a thought crossed his mind.

Fanming behind him immediately flapped its wings!

Instantly, gusts of wind blew.

Taking advantage of the wind, the Wind-Driving Staff in Wang Ba’s hand flashed slightly.

The wind stirred by Fanming surged in strength, lifting Fanming and Little Cang World, bursting forward!

Whoosh—

The wind cleared a corner of mystery within the white fog.

Revealing its bizarre scene.

Stern-looking figures stood on one side like dead trunks, arranged densely together, their faces blurred, only those double pupils uncanny as Little Cang World departed.

Seeing Little Cang World vanish into the distance.

Next moment, these figures suddenly took off, silently tailing Little Cang World!

White fog billowed, revealing more densely packed figures from the fog, like a vast net…

“Those double-pupil people are catching up!”

Inside Little Cang World, within the Taoist Field, Jiang Yi, Ji Ying, and Liang Wuji all looked solemn.

Wang Ba’s gaze was deep; he sensed those following double-pupil people, but neither Fanming nor the Wind-Driving Staff could exert more effort.

Currently, he couldn’t do much.

Thus, he forced himself to detach from the tense and panicked emotion, settled down, observing the pursuing double-pupil people, pondering:

“What is the relationship between these double-pupil people and the Purple-robed Taoist?”

At this moment, he finally had time to ponder this question.

Undoubtedly, there was a connection between the two.

However, the Purple-robed Taoist seemed eccentric but apparently full of wisdom, while those double-pupil people they had encountered seemed like wandering ghosts, distinctly different from the Purple-robed Taoist.

“Intelligence and no intelligence… What’s the difference in between?”

A hint of confusion rose in Wang Ba’s heart.

But soon this question was overshadowed by another more critical issue.
