Above all spirits

Chapter 293 I ask, you answer

of course.

Except for Xiao Li.

If there's anything to be thankful for on a battlefield, it's that the unstoppable killing machine at the center of the battlefield is on your side.

That's how he feels right now.

However, it wasn't something to be happy about; it was more of a matter of course.

His own extreme Yang fire could melt all things, so dealing with this kind of thing was perfectly normal.

With a wave of his hand, Yun Konghai's corpse burst into flames, which were devoured in an instant by a ferocious beast. A terrifying heat wave radiated from the heart of the flame, raising the surrounding temperature by a degree.

Xiangling stood opposite, a look of astonishment and awe on her face. Clearly, her low strength limited her imagination; she had never seen a half-step Xiantian killed in a single exchange.

After a moment of stunned silence, Xiang Ling immediately realized her lapse in composure, and a look of joy crept into her heart. The stronger Gu Yun became, the greater his help would be for her revenge. She quickly lowered her head, knelt on one knee, and clasped her hands in a fist salute to Gu Yun.

"Thank you, senior, for taking the initiative."

"Xiangling...."

"Shh!"

With a flash of white light, Gu Yun sheathed the White Soul Sword, interrupting Xiang Ling's next words, which were nothing more than some thanks, some grudges between himself and the Elf Clan, or some other requests.

He didn't want to hear it.

Gu Yun's voice was cold and clear, like a snow-covered mountain, instantly causing Xiang Ling to stop herself from saying what she wanted to say.

"I asked."

"You answer."

Gu Yun originally intended to search Yun Konghai's soul, but it was a bit unrealistic to deal with a resistant elven royal who was also a half-step Xiantian. If he knocked him unconscious, he would have to control his strength very carefully. If he was too light, the other party might run away, and if he was too heavy, the other party would still die.

In the end, they decided to stop causing trouble and just cut it off with a sword.

Xiangling hesitated for a while before finally uttering a single word: "Yes." Although the person in front of her was powerful, he seemed to be an unreasonable killer.

It was the same before, and it's the same this time. It seems that there are no taboos for him. If I insist on expressing my needs so urgently, it may backfire.

But perhaps only Xiao Li understands that Gu Yun only shows this side of himself when it comes to Yun Yin.

"Tell me first, what do you think of Yunyin as I described?"

Xiangling nodded and took a deep breath.

"I don't know her name, but I've seen her before, and I've asked my mother about her."

"Because at that time we had already planned to leave the fairy world, my mother was not so taboo about some things that were strictly forbidden to be talked about."

"However, since my mother wasn't part of the elite elven royal family who had access to the core of the elven kingdom, she didn't actually know much."

"This is a special way of uniting that the Elven royal family came up with after obtaining information about the Dream Emperor's Will."

As he spoke, Gu Yun waved his hand lightly, and golden light swirled around him, repairing the signs of the burning flames. It was best to keep this little tail from being noticed, since there was a trace of extremely yang energy on it. On the other hand, Gu Yun casually continued to ask.

"Do you know how the Illusory Dream Imperial Will is condensed?"

As expected, Xiangling shook her head and smiled wryly.

"Only the Elven royal family involved in the core of the condensation of the Illusionary Dream Emperor's Will knows the specific method. My mother certainly doesn't know, but there were several girls who fell into a deep sleep at the same time, not just Yunyin, the one you're looking for."

"This kind of slumber is not a passive one; they need to complete a ten-year test in their dreams without their knowledge. It is said that as long as they complete this test, they can basically condense the Dream Emperor's Will."

"Although it sounds wonderful, this kind of test is life-threatening."

"It was precisely because they saw the dark side of the elven royal family that my parents became even more determined to escape from here."

As she spoke, Xiangling trembled involuntarily, as if recalling some childhood nightmare, a chill emanating from her very bones.

"If you die during the test, your slumbering self in reality will also die in the same way. Some girls seem to have been hit by something enormous, their bodies torn to pieces, flesh and blood flying everywhere. Some girls suddenly seem to have their necks grabbed by someone, screaming loudly, and finally dying in a state of being violated and humiliated. Some..."

Xiangling's voice grew softer and softer until it was almost inaudible; she seemed to be strongly resisting this memory.

A cold glint flashed in Gu Yun's eyes. He then raised his hand, and a warm golden light enveloped him as he spoke calmly.

"You don't need to say anything, I understand."

Gu Yun's mind worked quickly, probably because as a modern person, he was exposed to more things and had a wealth of knowledge that was not available here. He quickly understood the general logic of this method of condensing the Emperor's will of the Dream.

Its fundamental direction is, of course, to construct a spiritual space that aligns with the will of the Dream Emperor.

In order to achieve a perfect fit, it is best to conduct this test of slumber from childhood, when the mental space has not yet been developed. If the child is too young, the probability of failure due to the lack of a perfect fit will be high, and if the child is too young, the mortality rate will be high.

This method is as simple as...

These girls enter a special dream world through some means, much like how Earth enters a game world using a game helmet. Surviving in the dream for ten years is the key to completing the game, and the way they die in the dream will be projected into reality.

Although it's unknown what the other girls' dream worlds are, there's no doubt that Yunyin's dream world is Earth.

But it was different. It seemed like a dream, but Gu Yun knew that it was a real person, not some kind of illusion.

Gu Yun frowned and murmured to himself, his gaze gradually deepening, as if he had already seen through the core of the Illusionary Dream Emperor's Will.

"Illusion and reality intertwined... turning illusion into reality... turning reality into illusion... Could this be the rule of the Illusionary Dream Emperor's Will?"

"This coincides with the power that Master's wife envisioned: the power of myriad transformations..."

"never mind."

Gu Yun shook his head slightly. Now was not the time to think about these things. He estimated that the elven royal family would be arriving soon. Gu Yun continued to speak to Xiang Ling in a commanding tone.

"Listen, now that Yun Konghai is dead, the promise he made to bring me to Yunyin is now yours."

"You have no right to say no."

"Although I don't want to hear about your grudges and grievances with the fairy world."

It's easy to guess that Xiangling's participation in the Star Realm Conference exposed some trump card from the Fairy Realm, possibly even an exclusive skill of the Elf Royal Family, which led to the trouble. And the source of the trouble was probably that half of the wordless book.

"But as you predicted, I will most likely end up on the opposite side of the elves."
