Fantasy: I Can Randomly Refresh My Realm

Brilliant Red Lotus”Why... is it different from the outside here?”

The moment the gate was pushed open, an ancient and majestic aura emanated from within the City Lord’s Mansion.

In that instant, both humans and Vicious Beasts were stunned by the aura within the City Lord’s Mansion, standing frozen in place for several seconds before slowly regaining their senses.

Xiao Feng had assumed the City Lord’s Mansion would be dignified and solemn, but he hadn’t expected to see traces of a battle everywhere inside.

Xiao Feng carefully stepped inside and reminded everyone, ”Try not to touch anything here. A great battle must have taken place in this City Lord’s Mansion!”

The Yao Beasts following behind slowed their pace. As everyone and the Yao Beasts entered the City Lord’s Mansion, the mansion’s gate suddenly slammed shut.

”There is no aura of any living creature in here.” Xiao Feng was also startled by the sudden sound of the door closing, but his Divine Sense did not detect any responsive consciousness.

The group began to cautiously explore the interior of the City Lord’s Mansion.

”Xiao Feng, there is black blood over there. I don’t remember which race has black blood. Could it be poison? They look like they are from the Human Race!”

Zhao Yuwei saw that the white clothing of one of the figures was soaked through with black blood, and she subconsciously gestured for Xiao Feng to look.

Xiao Feng slowly approached the black blood. It appeared as if it had just flowed out and had not yet congealed.

”I don’t sense any toxins in it. It might be for other reasons. I just feel that this place is a bit strange.”

As he neared the black blood, an inexplicable feeling arose in the depths of Xiao Feng’s heart, as if warning him not to get close to that blood.

Xiao Feng suppressed the restlessness in his heart and led everyone toward another area.

”There is an Ominous presence in here.” Long Gu’s voice sounded from behind Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng turned his head and saw the look of unease on Long Gu’s face, immediately asking, ”Are you saying that this black blood carries the Ominous presence you mentioned earlier? Could it be that he is...”

”Impossible! Any member of the Dragon Clan who falls after being struck by the Ominous presence will revert to their original form; it is impossible for them to remain in human form!” Long Gu stated firmly.

After learning that the substance was the Ominous presence, Xiao Feng did not want to get close to the blood, fearing he might accidentally come into contact with it.

Hearing Long Gu say this, Xiao Feng hurriedly led Zhao Yuwei away from the blood.

He also told the Vicious Beasts to be careful and not to touch anything that remained here.

If any of it carried the Ominous presence and they failed to identify it in time, it would be troublesome.

Seeing corpses lying all over the ground throughout the City Lord’s Mansion, along with that black blood, Xiao Feng grew anxious.

”System, didn’t you tell me there were treasures and a great Opportunity in here? Where are they?” Xiao Feng tapped on the System panel.

”This System is only responsible for helping you detect whether there is an Opportunity; you must encounter these things yourself!” the System retorted, speechless.

Just as Xiao Feng was about to bicker with the System, his heart suddenly palpitated.

For a fleeting moment, Xiao Feng felt as if his consciousness had reached a certain place.

That mysterious attraction caused Xiao Feng’s gaze to unconsciously turn in a certain direction.

”Something... is attracting me...” After muttering this, Xiao Feng strode off toward the back.

To the eyes of the others, this scene appeared as if Xiao Feng had suddenly shuddered after leaving the side of the black blood.

Then, his eyes became vacant, and as if controlled by someone, he walked toward the depths of the City Lord’s Mansion without a care for anything else.

”Xiao Feng!” Zhao Yuwei called out to him, but Xiao Feng did not stop; instead, he picked up his pace.

Zhao Yuwei immediately gave chase, and Long Gu and the others hurriedly followed.

Red Frost tugged at Long Gu and said, ”I feel like something is wrong here. Do you remember how the Ominous presence was born? Do you think here might...”

Long Gu’s pupils constricted sharply, and he gripped Red Frost’s hand tightly.

He did not know if he had made the right choice by following Xiao Feng in here, using the young dragon as an excuse out of friendship with Xiao Feng.

If there really was... here, he feared none of them would be able to escape.

”I know there is a problem here. We will try to be as careful as possible; we should be able to avoid it!”

They had already entered, and it was obviously impossible to retreat now.

Long Gu held Red Frost’s hand with a firm tone, then followed the other Yao Beasts to catch up with Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei.

By the time they reunited, Xiao Feng had stopped moving forward.

At this moment, they had entered an incredibly spacious courtyard.

”This courtyard is located in the center of the entire City Lord’s Mansion; it must be the main courtyard.” Han Ya assessed the situation and spoke.

”Are you okay? What happened just now? It was like you were controlled by something, rushing to this courtyard without a care for anything else.”

At this moment, Xiao Feng had regained his clarity.

Hearing Zhao Yuwei say this, Xiao Feng spoke with some confusion, ”I don’t know. I heard something calling me, wanting me to go find it. I followed the guidance and came here.”

”Calling you? Are you saying that the thing guiding you is currently in the courtyard? But what is in this courtyard...”

Taowu had not finished speaking when he turned his head and saw a red lotus blooming in a pond.

The red lotus bloomed passionately and brilliantly.

It was surprisingly the only bright color in the entire courtyard.

Under the contrast of the red lotus, the entire courtyard seemed to turn gray and white!

”A red lotus? This city has been buried for who knows how many years; it’s impossible for any living thing to exist here. How could a red lotus bloom here? And it is so uncanny!”

Following Taowu’s gaze, Red Frost looked over and also saw the red lotus.

However, the feeling the red lotus gave Red Frost was extremely dangerous.

”It’s that. I can feel that it is what was attracting me. It wants me to pick it. What exactly is this?”

Whatever could grow in a place like this must not be an ordinary red lotus.

Moreover, as everyone drew closer, the red lotus swayed more and more violently.

A strong fragrance wafted from the red lotus, instantly filling the entire courtyard.

Xiao Feng couldn’t help but take a deep breath, and the strong fragrance immediately seeped into his heart and spleen.

Xiao Feng’s eyes lit up; this was the thing he was looking for! The great Opportunity within the City Lord’s Mansion!

Xiao Feng quickly stepped forward to the edge of the pond.

In the entire pond, only this one red lotus bloomed in a bewitching and brilliant manner; the other lotus flowers had long since withered, which only made this red lotus stand out even more.

”Xiao Feng, this red lotus is problematic. Wake up, don’t be deceived by it!”

Upon seeing the red lotus, Long Gu, like Red Frost, felt an inexplicable sense of crisis lingering in his heart.

Seeing that Xiao Feng seemed to want to pick this lotus flower, Long Gu hurriedly spoke to stop him.

”Problematic?” Hearing Long Gu’s words, Xiao Feng stopped his action of wanting to pick the lotus flower.

He also realized that something was wrong with him.

He really seemed to have been bewitched by something!
