The Demon Lord Relied on His Imagination to Get Together with the Protagonist. - Chapter 41.2

Chapter 41.2

Fu Luan was unaware of all this. She had already dressed as the bride and was quietly waiting for the night’s activity.

To break this spectacular nightmare, she had to delve deep into it and find the formation core that could break the nightmare.

As for why she had to dress as the bride, it was because the man who sought help from Xianning said that they had arranged everything. For example, the parade last night was disrupted by them, and the wedding banquet was rescheduled for tonight. Since the bride for tonight was not present, Immortal Master Fu Luan could logically disguise herself as the bride.

Fu Luan asked the goat-bearded man: “What is the background of the couple getting married?”

The goat-bearded man smiled and explained: “Both parties, whether in appearance, figure, or personality and temperament, are a match made in heaven. There is no one in the world who could be more harmonious than them.”

Fu Luan frowned: “Then if I arbitrarily replace the bride, the other party will definitely notice.”

The goat-bearded man laughed: “How could the other party make things difficult for you?”

Fu Luan was still somewhat uneasy, but the hour had arrived. She had no choice but to be taken away according to the pre-arranged procedure.

Cen Letian’s eyelids kept twitching on the side. His heart was also restless. He kept feeling that something important had been overlooked, and if not addressed, it could ruin everything.

“Senior Brother, you don’t need to worry,” a disciple who hadn’t cultivated the path of heartlessness came up to comfort him. “Immortal Master Fu Luan is your Master. You must have faith in her, trust her. With the Immortal Master’s strength, she will surely turn danger into safety.”

Cen Letian was worried and paced anxiously.

“Stop talking for a moment. Why do you keep repeating those two sentences? Can you only say those two sentences?” Cen Letian irritably pushed him away, about to speak. “You…”

At this moment, Cen Letian suddenly froze.

He looked down blankly at his palm, realizing that the sensation just now was wrong. It was a bit prickly, like touching something cold and hard.

And that disciple was too light. With a gentle push, the person fell down.

Cen Letian’s mind was shaken. He turned back in horror and saw the disciple fall straight down, transforming into a skeleton.

“Gather!”

Cen Letian roared furiously, his eyes bloodshot. He gathered all the disciples. Everyone instantly surrounded the skeleton, leaving a circle around it. Then, everyone was dumbfounded.

“There is a spy among us!” Cen Letian’s eyes were red with extreme anger. He tightly gripped the sword at his waist, his voice low and filled with deep fury. “The spy deliberately led us to the Scarlet Sky Realm, harboring ill intentions.”

“What about Immortal Master Fu Luan!”

“We fell into a trap!”

“Who informed the Immortal Master, causing her to come to the Scarlet Sky Realm? And who designed this to lure us here?”

“Where is that goat-bearded man!” Cen Letian roared, punching the door. “Bring him to me.”

A group of disciples immediately grabbed their swords to search for the man.

After a short while, they returned, kneeling on the ground.

“Senior Brother, that person has also turned into a skeleton.”

“Quickly go intercept the sedan chair!” Cen Letian furiously led everyone out. “Before the sedan chair goes too far, we will also enter the Meridian Gate!”

“Senior Brother,” someone said. “Since that person deceived us, it means we cannot enter the Meridian Gate. Even if we enter, we will fall into the nightmare and our identity won’t be acknowledged by the Dream Master.”

Cen Letian was panicked and angry: “Then how can we enter while still conscious?”

“Senior Brother, we don’t know either…”

Cen Letian knelt on the ground, feeling a profound sense of despair.

It was his fault for harming his Master. If he hadn’t listened to the goat-bearded man and insisted on coming to the Scarlet Sky Realm, the spy wouldn’t have deliberately informed his Master, causing her to worry and follow him to the Scarlet Sky Realm…

His Master always traveled the world and never interfered in other matters. If it hadn’t been related to him, his Master wouldn’t have heard the news.

Cen Letian was filled with remorse. He vaguely realized that this whole scheme was not about anything else, but an elaborate setup specifically targeting his Master. Unlike other situations, his Master’s cultivation would normally allow her to fight her way out, but in this kind of situation, the enemy would generally consider his Master’s circumstances and find a method specifically designed to counter her.

“Senior Brother, is the other party truly targeting Immortal Master Fu Luan?”

“Yes, yes. Our Immortal Master has never been an enemy to anyone, let alone made enemies.”

“How could Immortal Master Fu Luan have enemies?”

“Has everyone considered that it might not be an enemy, but perhaps…”

The last voice was very small, almost drowned out by the chatter.

Cen Letian keenly caught this voice and asked with a dark face: “Perhaps what?”

The voice became even quieter, with great uncertainty: “Would an enemy put so much effort into marrying her? The wedding dress is so exquisite, and even the hairstyle and phoenix coronet were prepared and delivered. If it’s a pretense, it wouldn’t be this realistic, would it?”

“Beasts! They’re all beasts!” The veins in Cen Letian’s head throbbed with rage. “Damn it, my Master is cultivating the path of heartlessness! How dare they!”

Everyone rushed to try and dissuade him.

Cen Letian cursed: “If anyone dares to break my Master’s path of heartlessness, I will kill them!”

At the same time.

Fu Luan lifted a corner of the red veil and suddenly felt that the outside was too quiet. Where were the gongs and drums?

This was also the question Tong Siqing wanted to ask.

She sent a mental message to Zhihua: “Venerable Lord, don’t you feel like we haven’t found the most crucial part?”

Shi Zhihua also noticed.

Ever since they hijacked the sedan chair, all the outside sounds had vanished. Everything seemed to have been frozen. All the bustling scenes surrounding the sedan chair were motionless.

Shi Zhihua sent a message to the others: “No, this means we have found the crucial point.”

Qing Lin: “Exactly. We are here to cause trouble. Preventing the situation from continuing achieves our goal.”

Su Rong: “It seems the other party isn’t very strong, if they can’t even find people.”

Shi Zhihua: “Quite foolish. Just stealing a sedan chair leaves the other side helpless.”

“Since the bride is so important, then how did Immortal Master Fu Luan and her group silently switch out the bride and replace her?” Tong Siqing asked curiously. “For such an important person, the Dream Master must be looking after her well. And from the looks of it, the Dream Master cannot leave outside the Meridian Gate, so logically, the bride shouldn’t be able to leave either. How did Immortal Master Fu Luan and her group swap the bride?”

Shi Zhihua didn’t answer her. Instead, she raised her hand and touched her head: “Siqing has become clever.”

Tong Siqing was stunned, her face flushed completely red she was certain now. Zhihua really knew her identity!

She couldn’t keep it a secret after all, boo-hoo-hoo.

Shi Zhihua felt a sense of proud relief at Tong Siqing’s ability to deduce so much. She followed up on Tong Siqing’s analysis: “Very well said. Continue.”

Tong Siqing pursed her lips: “Is there a possibility that the Dream Master is fixed within the Meridian Gate, like a bound spirit? They cannot leave and can only summon people. And besides us, the only one who came here is Immortal Master Fu Luan. The other party’s target is Immortal Master Fu Luan.”

The latter part of the analysis was somewhat baseless. Everyone felt that this couldn’t be the case.

Qing Lin said: “The phenomena in the Scarlet Sky Realm haven’t been going on for just a year or two. If the Dream Master was targeting Fu Luan, why go to such great lengths? And this move is highly uncertain. What if a step went wrong and Fu Luan didn’t come here? Is the Dream Master that foolish, with such low efficiency?”

Tong Siqing glanced at the sedan chair: “But the other party did succeed. Although it took a long time, they still managed to trick Immortal Master Fu Luan into the Meridian Gate nightmare array.”

Qing Lin countered: “But with any small mistake, this wouldn’t have been possible. The probability is too low.”

This time, Su Rong and Tong Siqing answered in unison:

“But the reality is already this way. The other party succeeded.”

“The result is very close. It looks like they succeeded.”

Ignoring the process and assumptions, just looking at the result, Immortal Master Fu Luan was indeed tricked into coming.

Shi Zhihua was shocked by their wild ideas. There was not a single clue yet, and Tong Siqing’s speculation had led Su Rong and Qing Lin astray. Why were they discussing it so seriously?

“Fu Luan came here proactively to break the array. She wasn’t accidentally dragged in,” Shi Zhihua said. “We need to prevent her from stealing the Immortal artifact, not analyze that ‘she might have been designedly pulled here.'”

Everyone was enlightened: “Oh, right.”

Qing Lin bit her lip: “But Siqing’s speculation just now also makes a lot of sense.”

“You’ve been led astray.”

Shi Zhihua shook her head and tapped her forehead: “I genuinely worry that I will be influenced by you all and become an idiot.”

Tong Siqing: “What should we do next?”

Shi Zhihua sighed: “Let’s take Fu Luan out. After we take her out, we’ll come back in and see if there are any clues about the Phantom Mirror.”

Tong Siqing: “Why not look for it now?”

“I called you silly, and you still don’t believe it,” Shi Zhihua glanced at the sedan chair and said, “If Fu Luan runs away, wouldn’t everyone’s effort be wasted?”

“Oh, right,” Tong Siqing went over, intending to lift the curtain. “Then I’ll just tell the Immortal Master and ask her not to run.”

Shi Zhihua grabbed her by the arm: “Do! Not! Go!”

She had seen it earlier. The moment Tong Siqing lifted the sedan chair curtain, her eyes were sparkling. It was clear she was attracted by the beauty and couldn’t move.

Shi Zhihua ground her back teeth: “Try looking at her again?”

Qing Lin looked at the two of them and thought that the ominous Phantom Mirror was right. The Venerable Lord had indeed reached this day. The dignified Lord of the Demon Realm, peerless in beauty, would actually eagerly pour all her emotions into pursuing someone who understood nothing.

Sigh.

It was all prearranged.

They were still arguing here…
