With the addition of the Heart Decision and Golden Body spells, Xiao Yefeng's body underwent a transformation. The state of being completely unclothed vanished in an instant, restoring him to his original camouflage outfit. After a quick check, he realized that aside from not exiting the Ghostly Veil state, all his gear had been restored.
At that moment, Xiao Yefeng couldn't help but admire Yuan Dui. It was impressive that he could find such a troublesome Illusion Array, especially one that was so tricky to execute. With his Vital Energy and Righteousness protecting him, he wondered how Uncle Mei and Mei Mo'er were faring.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yefeng immediately set off. However, his body shimmered with golden light, illuminating the surroundings. The glow was faint, akin to seeing fireflies—barely visible—but it allowed him to see the path ahead. It was crucial since everyone around him was either on the mountain or amidst scattered rocks; one misstep could lead to disaster.
Especially since Xiao Yefeng was currently halfway up the mountain, with a considerable distance still to cover to reach the flat ground at the bottom of the Dragon Gorge. Fortunately, his terrain recorder had already sent a satellite scan of Ge Qing Gou's layout to his watch. At that moment, Xiao Yefeng felt like hugging a member of the Mouse Team in gratitude; the map had arrived just in time.
The display on his watch highlighted every stone over one centimeter in height. As he navigated down from his concealed sniping position to below Ge Qing Gou, he found chaos below. Everyone was moving erratically, particularly several ordinary people who had been forced into the role of Guides; they were stumbling around like blind men, already bloodied yet still crashing into the surrounding rocks.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Yefeng could only use the butt of his gun to knock them out one by one. In such circumstances, it was better for ordinary people to lie on the ground. From afar, he heard Mei Mo'er's voice calling out. This girl was at least half a Martial Arts Cultivator; despite seeing various illusory graves through the Ghostly Veil, she moved cautiously and eventually bumped into a giant tree.
However, it seemed she saw something that excited her immensely as she began gnawing on the tree bark. Upon witnessing this, Xiao Yefeng quickly intervened, pressing a finger against Mei Mo'er's neck. With just twenty percent of his strength in an Intercepting Finger technique, he disrupted her nerve reflexes and she instantly fell into a deep sleep. The best way to handle ordinary people or those who couldn't help was simply to knock them out; once unconscious, they wouldn't see anything.
He drew some blood from a cut on his finger and inscribed a Pardon symbol on Mei Mo'er's forehead. This resolved her issue; once she woke up, she would break free from the illusion and return to normal.
After placing Mei Mo'er in a safe corner, Xiao Yefeng continued searching for Mei Chuanqiong. Sure enough, he spotted her at a location indicated on his watch with an impressive power level of one hundred fifty-seven points. Mei Chuanqiong lay there with her eyes tightly shut while behind her rose a massive Bat phantom that shimmered with a faint golden hue—clearly indicating its extraordinary nature.
Xiao Yefeng was also surprised by the vitality coursing through Mei Chuanqiong's bloodline; had Uncle Mei absorbed Dracula's Blood during this time? With this thought in mind, he reached out two fingers to probe her wrist and confirmed that Mingjing had transformed into Inner Force. At that moment, Mei Chuanqiong appeared no different from an ordinary person; all her power lay hidden beneath her bloodline. However, she seemed restless; evidently vampires struggled to suppress their inner illusions. Xiao Yefeng noticed that her two Fang Teeth were already protruding from her lips.
"Purple Flame Eye Soldier, come quickly! Break the illusion!" After drawing blood with his fingertip and marking another Pardon symbol on Mei Chuanqiong's forehead, she suddenly opened her eyes wide. Upon seeing Xiao Yefeng, she exclaimed in surprise, "Mr. Xiao! What are you doing here in this graveyard?"
Great! Another one! The visions Mei Chuanqiong saw were only visible under Xiao Yefeng's spiritual energy coverage. As she felt an itch at her forehead and reached up to scratch it, Xiao Yefeng quickly stopped her: "Uncle Mei! You can't wipe this away; it's my blood. Only with my blood suppressing your spirit can you maintain visibility within this Eight Demons Penetrating the Palace."
“Uncle Mei, have you entered Inner Force?” Xiao Yefeng asked.
“Ah! I just arrived. After absorbing Dracula's Blood, I realized I had entered Inner Force!” Mei Chuanqiong replied.
“That’s not right! Once you enter Inner Force, you shouldn’t be affected by these illusions! Why did you just feel a bloodthirsty, evil urge?” Xiao Yefeng said.
After hearing Xiao Yefeng's words, Mei Chuanqiong said, “Don’t mention it. It’s all because of that drop of Dracula's Blood. Now I don’t even dare to activate my vampire transformation. Every time I use Blood Energy, I feel like I'm craving blood, so this kind of suggestion is simply a temptation for a vampire to commit a crime!”
Their conversation didn’t last long before a series of hissing sounds echoed around them. Although Mei Chuanqiong was new to Inner Force, he had never experienced such a strange Ghost Wall before. At this moment, he followed Xiao Yefeng and asked, “What should we do?”
“Uncle Mei! Walk towards the direction where the red light is shining. Don’t look back at anyone who speaks to you, don’t respond, don’t stop. Remember, this is an illusion created by Yin Qi invading our minds; everything inside is fake. The seemingly flat ground requires caution; this is Ge Qing Gou. The rocky terrain can lead to troublesome outcomes if you’re not careful.” Xiao Yefeng began to chant a Spell, and a black-and-white Yin Yang Diagram spun into existence at his fingertips. He then pointed it at Mei Chuanqiong, and the Yin Yang Diagram directly entered his forehead.
Mei Chuanqiong’s blood-red pupils flashed as he temporarily gained Xiao Yefeng's Yin-Yang Eye. At that moment, endless desolate graves flickered in his vision, transforming from jagged rocks into tombs and then back into strange stones. The originally flat ground morphed into deep stone crevices where one misstep could lead to injury.
“What! What will you do?” Although Mei Chuanqiong was somewhat surprised, he thought of Xiao Yefeng.
“I’m fine. Mei Mo'er is over there. Uncle Mei, take her out. Although I’ve resolved her illusion, it’s still dangerous here!” Xiao Yefeng said.
“Alright!” After some consideration, Mei Chuanqiong ultimately decided to follow Xiao Yefeng's advice. He picked up Mei Mo'er and dashed toward the only red lantern in sight—the place where Xiao Yefeng had activated the vermilion dagger with his blood energy, marking the Exit he left in this Ghostly Veil of Eight Demons Penetrating the Palace.
As Mei Chuanqiong carried Mei Mo'er away, Xiao Yefeng felt relieved. However, as he continued approaching the massive tree at the bottom of Ge Qing Gou, he noticed that the Eerie Energy was becoming increasingly dense. He vaguely sensed that the Yin Qi was chillingly cold; a gust of wind swept by, making his skin feel as if it had been scraped by a steel blade.
Yet as he pressed on, he had to admit that he once again fell into the Ghostly Veil. This was a characteristic of Eight Demons Penetrating the Palace: the closer one got to the center, the stronger the Eerie Energy became. While Xiao Yefeng had managed to break free from the outer Ghostly Veil using his Golden Body spell and Yin-Yang Eye, the inner Ghostly Veil once again obscured his vision.
At this moment, Xiao Yefeng's three-colored Yin-Yang Eye could only discern that the surrounding desolate graves were made of stone. However, the path had completely vanished, and the enormous tree before him seemed to be right in front of him. No matter how he moved, it felt as though the tree was still ten meters away.
What a powerful Ghostly Veil; it could even obscure my Yin-Yang Eye a second time. Xiao Yefeng thought about this while sensing the position of the Exit. He realized he could still feel it, which brought him some comfort. After all, despite the dire situation, he still had a way out.
Xiao Yefeng continued to walk forward but soon discovered that this stretch of road seemed endless. The surrounding desolate graves kept shifting; it appeared he wasn't retracing his steps, yet the path extended infinitely. The cold wind howled past his ears, accompanied by sinister laughter and the continuous cries of ghosts that clouded Xiao Yefeng's mind. He understood that all of this was meant to obstruct him; the Ghostly Veil was essentially a Ghost Wall.
He couldn't let himself be manipulated by the spirits and could only move forward without looking back. Xiao Yefeng was not alone in this; Thompson and his companions were in the same predicament. At this moment, Thompson and his team were engulfed in a crimson aura, much like Mei Chuanqiong's. This Yin Qi had awakened the ferocity of their vampiric nature. Uncertain of how to break through the Ghost Wall, they found themselves ensnared, surrounded by countless restless spirits.
Their hands transformed into claws, with nails infused with Blood Energy resembling blood-red daggers, continuously slashing at the spirits. Each spirit struck by their blood-colored blades shattered like foam. The relentless onslaught of spirits forced them to leap and dodge incessantly; however, for every group of Yin Qi they destroyed, another would appear without end.
Xiao Yefeng was not trapped by the Ghost Wall, but he found himself ensnared by its second form of attack. As he approached the giant tree, he noticed familiar scenery emerging around him—the Rainforest appeared once more. Liu Xuanhuang's figure kept appearing beside him, while scenes of his teammates being shot and dying played on an infinite loop—moments from Xiao Yefeng's memory that he wished to forget. Just as he felt overwhelmed by these memories, a Western woman with blonde hair and blue eyes appeared, holding a bouquet of flowers.
The sudden shift in scenery left Xiao Yefeng momentarily stunned. As he gazed in astonishment, the woman slowly approached him. The eerie Ghost Wall transformed into a sacred church setting. Xiao Yefeng turned to look below; his teammates were watching him from below. Their mature and wise leader, Liu Xuanhuang, sat in the front row with a face full of blessings directed at Xiao Yefeng.
Following Liu Xuanhuang's gaze, Xiao Yefeng noticed that sitting next to him was Nana, her eyes brimming with tears! Once an Assaulter in their Mercenary team and affectionately known as Big Sister Athena, Nana was now crying like a rain-soaked flower. Looking further back, he saw Sigaeo, a towering black muscular man, and Zhebie with his braided hair—all were present there.
