Chapter 370: Silver Lines

Such a strong demonic aura!

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun looked in the direction of the Ten Thousand Demons Cave.

The person leading the team from Ten Thousand Demons Cave this time was a middle-aged man with wings on his back, whom Jiang Yun had never seen before.

However, Jiang Yun believed that the powerful demonic aura sensed by Bai Ze must be coming from this man.

Yet, Bai Ze quickly added, "Boy, the demonic aura within Mirage is so strong, could it be that Mirage belongs to my demon race?"

Jiang Yun’s heart suddenly skipped a beat, "The eerie presence you mentioned, is it coming from… Mirage?"

While speaking, Jiang Yun, like the others, turned his gaze towards Mirage.

Even though the distance between everyone and Mirage was close, a layer of constantly fluctuating ripples shrouded Mirage, making it impossible to see its true appearance clearly.

Even divine sense couldn’t penetrate it, naturally unable to sense any eerie presence either.

However, Jiang Yun was surprised to learn that Bai Ze could detect the eerie presence within Mirage.

"Obviously, it’s Mirage!"

There was a hint of mockery in Bai Ze’s tone, "Do you perhaps think I’m referring to the cultivators of your Mountain-Sea World?"

Bai Ze had never held Mountain-Sea World in high regard, a sentiment Jiang Yun understood.

Because Bai Ze was typically judgmental.

People respect Taoist Demons a lot, but those weaker than them, whether they are demons or humans, are not cared for by them.

Jiang Yun didn’t want to argue with Bai Ze, and quickly asked, "Besides feeling the demonic energy, did you sense anything else?"

Bai Ze replied irritably, "Can’t you see for yourself?"

"None of us can see through the shimmering Mirage with our eyes or divine sense!"

"Hehe, your divine sense may not work, but your eyes might. Maybe someone can see it after all!"

Bai Ze’s words made Jiang Yun slightly shocked, and he looked around.

With this look, he finally noticed that a few people were not only staring straight at the Mirage, but their eyes were also shining.

Especially a young woman standing not far from him, with a beautiful face.

In her eyes appeared two strange runes emitting a faint blue light, staring fixedly at the Mirage.

Jiang Yun remembered that she joined the Seeking-Tao Sect together with him, her name was Lu Yourong, and she had a special power called Two-Free Tao Physique.

This discovery made Jiang Yun suddenly realize that these people’s eyes obviously had some special abilities.

"I may not have special abilities, but I have – Demon Eye!"

Since there was demonic energy in this Mirage, perhaps the Demon Eye could really see through the ripple!

Thinking of this, the demonic energy inside Jiang Yun’s body immediately surged quietly, gathered in his eyes, and condensed into a faint gray mist.

"Buzz!"

As his eyes turned into Demon Eye, when he looked towards the Mirage again, the ripples that were originally impenetrable seemed to have been torn open by a hand at that moment.

Jiang Yun’s gaze naturally followed this opening and extended inside.

But then, he suddenly felt a sharp force coming from within the ripples, piercing directly towards his eyes along his gaze.

The power came so fast that Jiang Yun couldn’t dodge in time.

Suddenly, a sharp pain shot from his eyes, and tears kept flowing down uncontrollably.

Despite the pain, he gritted his teeth, widened his eyes, and felt the energy inside him surging wildly.

Even the Taoist Body sitting cross-legged in his lower abdomen, Hun Tian’s Taoist Body, leaped up and merged with his body, opening its eyes in sync.

With the help of the power of the Taoist Body, Jiang Yun’s eyes, already blurred with tears, finally saw a silver line on Mirage, resembling a rune, through a gap!

In the next moment, blood rolled down from Jiang Yun’s eyes, forcing him to shut them.

"Don’t be silly, even I dare not look at Mirage, stop looking!"

Just then, Dao Tianyou’s reproachful voice sounded in his ears.

In fact, even if Jiang Yun wanted to look, he couldn’t do it now.

His eyes couldn’t open at all, and the fresh blood pouring out of them made them look as if they were blind.

This scene naturally caught the attention of some people around Jiang Yun for a moment.

Someone openly mocked, "Where did this fool come from, still daring to spy on Mirage, it’s truly overestimating oneself!"

"Brave, but lacking in intelligence! Who is he?"

"I don’t know, the Seeking-Tao Sect’s strength is not that great to begin with. Among the younger generation disciples, only Fang Yuxuan has some skills!"

Dao Tianyou ignored the ridicule from others and stepped forward to Jiang Yun, asking with concern, "Are your eyes okay?"

After Jiang Yun defeated Fang Yuxuan, Dao Tianyou’s hopes of succeeding were completely pinned on Jiang Yun.

But if Jiang Yun really went blind, he would only be able to let Jiang Yun return to the Seeking-Tao Sect.

"I’m fine!"

Luckily, Jiang Yun’s faint voice relieved Dao Tianyou’s worry for a moment, but he still reminded, "There are mysteries within this Mirage, once we enter, be cautious not to do anything dangerous!"

Jiang Yun nodded quietly without speaking.

Seeing Jiang Yun’s expression, Dao Tianyou sighed and remained silent, returning to the edge of the sword.

At that moment, a dwarf-like elder leading the Samsara Sect suddenly chuckled and said, "Since everyone is here, let’s not waste time and open this Mirage soon to finish our task!"

With those words, he raised his hand and a beam of light shot towards the Mirage.

Within the light, there was a colorful fragment the size of a copper coin, which stuck directly onto the rippling surface.

Following the elder’s lead, Dao Tianyou also raised his hand and threw a colorful fragment, but his was slightly smaller in size than the elder’s.

Subsequently, leaders of other sects like Ten Thousand Demons Cave, Grand Medicine Sect, and Ghostly Samsara Hell also raised their hands.

Each person threw a colorful fragment, varying in size, yet all of them stuck onto the rippling surface without exceptions.

Above the ripples, there appeared a total of nine colorful pieces. To everyone’s surprise, these nine colorful pieces pieced together to form a complete jade pendant!

At the same time, the rippling waves suddenly shook violently and began to slowly spread out to the sides, revealing nine gaps about a person’s height.

Each gap corresponded exactly to a colorful misty path.

Obviously, the jade pendant formed by the nine colorful pieces coming together was the key to opening the Mirage.

And the nine gaps naturally served as the entrance for the thousands of people to enter the Mirage!

With the appearance of the gaps, the dwarf elder from the Samsara Sect chuckled and said, "The Mirage has opened. All disciples of the Samsara Sect, enter the Mirage immediately!"

"Let’s go!"

"I hope this time we can have a clean fight!"

"Dear Taoist friends, we in the Samsara Sect are waiting for you in the Mirage!"

The disciples of the Samsara Sect, more than a hundred of them, showed excitement on their faces, fearlessly shouting loudly to the people around them, and rushed into the gap they were facing.

Following the Samsara Sect, the other sects and tribes also didn’t delay anymore, one by one they rushed towards their respective gaps.

Finally, only the Seeking-Tao Sect remained.

The reason why Dao Tianyou did not hurry to let everyone in was because of Jiang Yun.

Although no fresh blood was coming out of Jiang Yun’s eyes anymore, he still had his eyes tightly closed, like an old monk in deep meditation, completely still.

No one knew that at this moment, Jiang Yun didn’t care about the pain in his eyes at all, nor did he care that the Mirage had already been activated.

In his mind, there was only one image, the silver line of about an inch in length that he had just seen on the Mirage.
