Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 1651: Chapter 1651: Nothing Left to Live For, Only Seeking Death

”Hmph, don’t believe my words, now you should know the pow...” Shao Chengxiong coldly sneered again upon seeing the mad-like appearance of the Descendants of the Divine Guardians.

Yet, before he finished speaking, his sneer froze on his face.

Only to see Mu Hanyan shake her head slightly, her gaze quickly clearing up.

How is this possible! Shao Chengxiong was dumbfounded once more.

The various scenes appearing in the mind are said to be the past experiences of the Guardians of the Gods. Only by personally experiencing what they went through can one possibly receive their inheritance.

However, the Divine Sense of those Guardians of the Gods is incredibly strong. Even after a million years, not everyone can withstand it. A mind that’s slightly unstable could easily get trapped in their joys, anger, grief, and pleasures, unable to extricate themselves.

Back when he first came here, he also got caught in those illusions, taking several hours to reclaim his mental state. Although based on Mu Hanyan’s previous demeanor, he had guessed that she wouldn’t be troubled by those illusory Divine Senses of the Guardians of the Gods, he never dreamed that she would regain her clarity after only a brief moment.

”I heard you were a Martial Arts Fool, how come no one calls you a Word Fool, babbling all day like a gossiping woman, don’t you find it exhausting?” Mu Hanyan glanced at Shao Chengxiong, saying indifferently.

While she didn’t want to pay him any attention, she was still somewhat impatient hearing something buzzing like a fly around her ears.

”Mu Hanyan, don’t get too cocky too soon. Although you can resist this Divine Sense, the others don’t have your level of strength. Bringing them to the Heavenly Curtain will ultimately harm them.” Shao Chengxiong blushed at Mu Hanyan’s jab and said, angered from humiliation.

Mu Hanyan wasn’t in the mood to argue with him, frowning slightly upon hearing this.

In fact, she could quickly escape the illusions formed by the past Divine Senses of the Guardians mainly because she had already seen many of those scenes before, multiple times even, and had similar experiences when trapped in the Ten Thousand Demon Heart of Chou Dangya previously.

But others haven’t had such experiences. Suddenly falling into those hard-to-discern illusions, completely submerged within, they might find it very difficult to recover their mental states.

Watching the seemingly insane crowd around her, Mu Hanyan felt secretly anxious in her heart.

”What’s wrong with them?” No, there’s still one person who’s not crazy. Qu Shanling looked around blankly and asked perplexedly.

”You’re okay?!” Mu Hanyan was greatly surprised. This old god-man is actually fine; everyone else’s mental states have succumbed, even experts like Yue Fanchen and Zhuang Ping’an weren’t exceptions, yet with his Eighth Rank Sword Master level, Qu Shanling was completely unscathed! From the looks of it, he seemed even more at ease than herself.

”What do you mean by okay?” Hearing Mu Hanyan’s question, Qu Shanling looked even more bewildered.

Don’t be fooled by this old god-man’s shrewdness when swindling money; at other times, his reactions aren’t much better than Jiang Yuzhe’s.

”Your mental state wasn’t affected at all?” Rarely seeing the old god confused, Mu Hanyan had to clarify.

”Oh, you’re talking about the mental state, right? Master once taught me a set of Concentrating Heart Technique, which is said to greatly benefit mental cultivation. I didn’t pay much attention to it before, but now I realize what a huge advantage the Concentrating Heart Technique is.” Despite his usual slowness, the old god-man realized that everyone else seemed insane due to some reason their mind got unhinged, and his own immunity was all thanks to the Concentrating Heart Technique taught by his Master in the past.

Ordinarily, that Concentrating Heart Technique didn’t seem to have much effect, but upon entering the Heavenly Curtain, it showcased amazing powers, almost as if it was specially devised to overcome this hurdle.

Could it be, all of this was within Master’s expectations? Thinking so, Qu Shanling became even more excited.

Mu Hanyan suddenly realized, connecting it to the times he had used the Divine Leading Technique and whatnot, it was no longer surprising why he could safely reach the Heavenly Curtain with just his Eighth Rank Sword Master level. With someone as mysterious as Lu Guantian for a Master, no matter how strange things occurred around him, it would be unsurprising.

”Yuru, why, why!” Suddenly, the heart-wrenching cries of Yue Fanchen reverberated in her ears.

His expression was one of utter despair, with deep hopelessness written in his eyes.

Such a gaze, this was not the first time Mu Hanyan had seen it. The last time, when he fell into the Ten Thousand Demon Heart of Chou Dangya, destined to be lost forever in another world, Zhuan Ping’an and Fen Qianji also bore the same look in their eyes.

Mu Hanyan didn’t know what had transpired between Yue Fanchen and Yuru, but she could tell it was a sorrow and despair that left one with no will to live, wishing only for death.

”No!” Mu Hanyan quickly grasped Yue Fanchen’s hand, shouting loudly in his ear.

”Yuru, it’s all my fault, it’s all my fault...” Though his arm was firmly held, and a clear voice rang by his ear, Yue Fanchen remained unaware, continuing to murmur in sorrow, his voice growing weaker.

No good! Mu Hanyan suddenly noticed that his Divine Sense was beginning to gradually dissipate, and his vitality was ceaselessly vanishing, almost as if gravely injured.

Hurriedly using her Divine Sense to investigate, Mu Hanyan found nothing anomalous with his body, and she suddenly realized. Yue Fanchen was currently trapped in an illusion, living as if in another world, perhaps choosing to end it all out of overwhelming sorrow in that place, bringing his real body to die along with it.

It’s the same principle as when she was trapped in the Ten Thousand Demon Heart of Chou Dangya before. The Divine Sense completely submerged in another world; no matter why the end might come, her existence in this world would also perish.

While Yue Fanchen’s life force was gradually fading, it was the same for Zhuang Ping’an and the others, a deathly aura spreading among the crowd.

Mu Hanyan instinctively looked towards Ye Lanfeng. He too was gravely observing everyone, concerned for Zhuang Ping’an and the others, but was powerless.

For once, Shao Chengxiong didn’t utter any scornful remarks, watching the souls dissipating and the increasingly weak vitality of the crowd, his gaze even showed some sympathy and pity. Perhaps his nature wasn’t entirely bad, and his previous remarks might even have been intended as warnings.

Of course, Mu Hanyan didn’t have the energy to care about his true intentions at this moment. Her main concern was the safety of Yue Fanchen, Zhuang Ping’an, and the others.

If they were severely injured, she could think of some solutions even without Ye Yanran’s help. After all, she carried quite a few life-preserving elixirs, and if nothing else, she could forcefully seal their Heart Meridian to keep them alive temporarily until aid arrived.

However, right now, even sealing their Heart Meridian would be futile, as their Divine Souls were continually dissipating. Once fully collapsed, even if revived, they’d merely be living corpses.
