Shadow Mask Group

85 - Young General, Tao Mu III

Seeing that his twin had disappeared, Liu Chen smiled, "Goodbye.. I won't forget you again"

Now, only Liu Chen was in the dark room. Liu Chen now began to glow and turned into pieces of light and disappeared.

A young man was lying in front of a bamboo forest. The young man began to slowly open his eyes. "uh? Where am I?", is Liu Chen.

Liu Chen instantly changed his position to sit down. He looked around. The sky seems to be in the afternoon. "Where else is this? And where's my friend? Why am I only here?"

Liu Chen scratched his back head that was not itchy. It started to stand. "What is the blood mist forest a testing ground to go somewhere? And the incident I experienced earlier was one of them?" muttered Liu Chen.

"If so.. Means it could be that this includes the exam and my other friends are doing the exam, just like me. But, are our exams any different?" continued Liu Chen.

Liu Chen shook his head, "Forget about the exam. Mystery places should indeed be able to make someone get a strange incident, right? And if within the forest of blood mist had a hidden treasure, then it would definitely not be easy to obtain it.

I'm sure all my friends are in good shape right now. Did I just go find them?"

After thinking for a moment, Liu Chen finally decided to go ahead to find his friend. He began to walk away and into the bamboo forest.

"It seems, what just happened to me earlier was just an illusion. It's a good thing that I'm not caught up in that illusion" Liu Chen muttered.

In fact, Liu Chen had realized that he was in an illusory place back then ever since he was shown the picture of how a rationing happened. He found out when he tried to move to another shadow. Supposedly, he couldn't do that if the sky was really night. But it turns out he can do it.

As Liu Chen recalled, an illusion had the same time as the real world. That is, if in the real world it is day, then in the illusion it is also day. But because it uses illusions, so people who are trapped in the illusion can see night or morning when in the illusion, which is day.

Then, the illusion is not tied to the real-world turn of time. For example, if in the real world someone has been five minutes in front of a tree. So if in the world of illusion, it could be five minutes is 5 days. But the sky still changes color like changing days, which in the real world is still the same day.

So Liu Chen tried to use the transfer between shadows, because when in the real world, time is morning. So that he can move through the shadow of others.

Liu Chen did not directly come out through the shadow of the dragon man. But he only remained silent first in the shadows. So, Liu Chen who saw the hologram was just an ice clone.

Meanwhile, in a room that was quite large and rather dark. There are a lot of people sleeping there. One of the people there is Tao Mu. He still opens his eyes. This place is the resting room of many slaves. So the place is not wide.

"Hey, come here."

Tao Mu instantly rose from his lying position. Sit down and look around. "So I heard a voice. Did I hear wrong?" muttered.

"You didn't hear wrong at all. Only you can hear my voice and when you talk to me, no one will be able to hear your voice. If you want to know who I am, come and meet me outside."

"Want to know you? Hmph! Not at all. Don't bother me" said Tao Mu while looking at the door. Although he did not see who was there, but because the voice had said to him to come out, then the person must be outside.

"Just go out and meet me."

"Why don't you come and see me? Aren't you the one who needs me?" said Tao Mu with a frown.

Tao Mu had already been 6 months trapped inside the illusion. However, Tao Mu still did not realize that he was in an illusion. That's because, everything he's going through right now feels very real. All the pain he was experiencing and everything else felt real.

Tao Mu was also even incited by the death of his father. Whereas if in the real world, his father is still alive today and Tao Mu never experienced all the things that exist in this illusion when in the real world. You are completely forgetting the real world.

"I don't need you. But you need me. Don't you need a lot of power?" the mysterious voice.

Hearing the word 'power' made Tao Mu flinch. "What do you mean?"

"Come and meet me. Then you'll find out."

Tap Mu looked around and already made sure that no one woke up. "Then what about the guards outside?"

"Heh, you take it easy. I've cleaned them up from before."

Tao Mu immediately stood up from a sitting position. He walked to the door and opened it slowly. After leaving, Tao Mu closed the door again.

Tao Mu was immediately shocked when he saw that the 4 guards had become corpses. His gaze traced every point around. It finally stopped on the mysterious black-robed figure that was about 7 meters away. "Is this all you?"

"There's no need to discuss that," the black-robed figure with a hood covering part of his face was silent for a moment. He continued, "I'll give you three wishes. You can ask me anything. Treasure, power, position and other things. I can give that to you. Instead, give me your soul"

Tao Mu, "Soul?"

"Think well of my offer. You must need great strength to take revenge. With this weak power of yours, what can you do?

Your father was killed before your own eyes. Aren't you mad and gonna let your father's killer just go? Moreover, the perpetrator had also made your life miserable like this.

All these families treat slaves like you badly. Did you accept all this?"

"How do you know what's going on with me?"

"I can see the past and the future. If you accept my offer, then you can take revenge. You just need to exchange your soul for me and your wish will be realized"

Tao Mu stared at the cloaked figure with narrowed eyes, "Are your words to be believed? Youcan.. Accept my request?"

"of course. I'm not lying"

"I.. Want to be able to avenge the family that has made me a slave and the entire family of debt collectors. Whatever I will do so that I can avenge" said Tao Mu firmly.

The corner of the figure's lips lifted. "Then, come closer.. I will give you the strength that will make you strong. You will also be able to avenge"

Tao Mu directly walked slowly towards the cloaked figure. He did not care if his soul would be taken away. He just wants revenge.

Now, Tao Mu was already right in front of the cloaked figure. The figure immediately reached out a hand and placed his hand on Tao Mu's chest. "Your wish, will come true"

Instantly, Tao Mu felt that a force was starting to slowly enter his body. The longer, the more power that entered his body, "Aarkkhh!"

Suddenly, there was a sword that seemed to want to cut off the hands of the robed person who was on Tao Mu's chest. Straight away, the cloaked person jumped back. Simultaneously, the power that entered Tao Mu's body stopped.

Tao Mu could not uphold himself. He felt that his body was a bit tired. Before he fell, someone caught Tao Mu's small body.

"Basic stupid! Why do you agree with him?! You could have died" said the voice.

"Huh, don't interfere!" the voice of the robed man.

"Just give me up!" say the man who helped you.

That person was Liu Chen. He looked at Tao Mu, "Conscious! It's just an illusion, Mu! Don't be influenced by it and don't be affected by everything in the world, because it's all an illusion!"

"Pa-ngeran.." said Tao Mu softly.

"Remove all your ambitions to take that revenge! This is not real!" liu Chen said firmly. He looked directly into Tao Mu's eyes.

"Why did you say something like that to her? He has the right to choose. None of this has anything to do with you!" said the cloaked figure. From his palm, a sickle slowly appeared. I also grabbed the sickle.

"It seems I have to fight it. You stay here", Liu Chen lowered Tao Mu. He looked back at the cloaked figure.

"Pa-grunts.. No. gabe.. Necessary"

"You must remove all your ambitions for revenge. After that, we can get out. I'll tell you what's going on" Liu Chen said without looking at Tao Mu. It disappeared from where it was.

In the air, there was a battle. The clinking of the guns began to sound. Two flashes of light quickly moved away.

"Only.. Illusions?" murmured Tao Mu. "I must.. Out of this illusion", Tao Mu began to turn his position into sitting. He could not help Liu Chen. Because he can't fly at the moment.

"Removing ambition.. Revenge?", Tao Mu instantly focused his mind to erase all his desires while inside this illusion.

Before long, Liu Chen directly hit the ground hard. Hearing the huge impacting sound, made Tao Mu immediately run towards the direction the sound came from. "Prince!", he now had the strength to stand up.

"Uhuk, he turned out to be very strong. L'm.. Can't use all my skills here." muttered Liu Chen while coughing blood.

"Prince.. Are you alright?", Tao Mu approached Liu Chen and helped the young man stand up.

"Yes. Instead, we leave immediately from within this illusion. That can get us out, just you You"

Tao Mu nodded in understanding. "I don't need you to realize my wish", he stared at the cloaked figure floating in the air.

"You need me, for revenge. That's what you want.. Reply.. Grudge and nothing else! They've treated you badly and someone has killed your father. If it wasn't for them, you wouldn't have suffered this much"

"No!", Tao Mu lowered his head. "If it wasn't for these forest collectors and families.. Maybe I won't be able to meet the prince. So then.. I'm grateful to them.. Because they helped me. Because they are too.. My physique is becoming stronger now. I am so grateful to them.. So there's no point in you being here anymore. Get us out of this world of illusions, that's what I want!"

The world was instantly cracked like glass and instantly fell down. A few seconds later, Liu Chen and Tao Mu instantly disappeared from there.

*

Inside the bamboo forest, two young men were lying on the ground. The two of them opened their eyes slowly. They were Liu Chen and Tao Mu.

"Huftt", Liu Chen heaved a sigh of relief. It's still lying on the ground.

Tao Mu immediately stood up and knelt down to face Liu Chen, "Prince.. I'm sorry I couldn't get out of the illusion myself and thank you for helping me"

Liu Chen now changed his body position to sit down. He waved, "No problem. Thankfully I was just in time. If not, maybe you will be trapped in the illusion forever or even die. Now stand up", and begin to stand up.

Tao Mu followed Liu Chen's words. He also stood up. "Ep.. Prince, how could you be inside the illusion earlier? Ah, ka-if the prince doesn't want to tell.. I don't care" he said nervously.

Liu Chen, "Don't be too formal to me like that. You're acting normal to me when there's no other demon. So, just call me Gang or Chen"

"Ba-good G-Gang"

"Actually, that was..."

Flashbacks

Liu Chen walked for several hours inside the bamboo forest. But he did not even get out of the forest. I also accidentally saw Tao Mu lying on the ground.

Liu Chen was intending to awaken Tao Mu. He shook the young man's body. But he suddenly felt dizzy and finally fainted near Tao Mu.

Liu Chen entered into the illusion that had happened to Tao Mu. He was initially astonished because he appeared near a small house. While around the house there were 4 people standing guard.

Liu Chen decided to leave from there. But his gaze was immediately directed at the black-robed figure. He suspected that the man was not a good person. So Liu Chen still remained in his place.

Shortly after, the cloaked figure disappeared and returned to its place. Simultaneously, all the guards were killed just like that. Seeing that, Liu Chen grew even more wary of the person.

The black-robed person continued to remain silent in his place. Before long, a 10-year-old boy came out of the house. Liu Chen watched the little boy who came out carefully.

Liu Chen was immediately shocked when he realized that it was Tao Mu. He could hear all the words that the robed man and Tao Mu said when outside.

Then, when he heard about the offer of the cloaked person and when he saw that Tao Mu agreed his soul was exchanged for three requests, Liu Chen wanted to directly dart and stop him.

But Liu Chen was still looking for the right time. Then when Tao Mu began to shout in pain, Liu Chen immediately went towards the cloaked person and Tao Mu. He was worried when something happened to Tao Mu because the boy was screaming in pain. Then, there was a fight between Liu Chen and the cloaked person.

When Liu Chen was inside the illusion of others, he could not bring out any moves. This was what made him lose to the cloaked man. That person had the same cultivation level as Liu Chen. So he could rival Liu Chen. If only Liu Chen could use his manager, then there was quite a chance he could defeat that cloaked person.

Flashback end~

"So that's.. How long have you been there?" ask Liu Chen.

"Ep.. About 6 months" answered Tao Mu.

Liu Chen was surprised, "6 months?! Long time. I didn't even get that long!"

"I also don't know my pange-meaning Gang" said Tao Mu nervously.

Liu Chen frowned, pointing down Tao Mu's neck. "That's.. What mark, Mu?"

Tao Mu immediately looked down at his neck, "This.!", he was shocked. There was a place where the robed man placed his palm. "No way! Is.. This is because of that cloaked person?!"

Liu Chen was now paying close attention to the mark that was near Tao Mu's neck. The sign is a red circle with a picture. Liu Chen widened his eyes. "This sign.. It can't be!" muttered.
