Repugnant Gateway

Chapter 1322 – Back inside

The gates of the ring closed with a creak, but all the gates of the city opened with a creak. An Zheng carefully walked to the entrance of one of the houses and looked inside, the scene was extremely creepy.

There were a few Demon cultivators who entered the ring before An Zheng and the others. There were a few who stood in the courtyard with their backs facing An Zheng and the others, like stone statues.

“What’s wrong with these people?”

Du Shoushou looked at these people, and felt like he was thrown onto a stage, a stage that was inside a box. Other than them, everyone else had become the kind of marionettes, or little people made of paper.

“He entered an illusion?”

Chen Shaobai asked An Zheng.

They had experienced all sorts of dangers, and had entered illusions more than once, unable to extricate themselves. Sometimes, hallucinations were even more terrifying than real combat because you didn’t know what was going on with you, what you would do, or even how you would end up dying.

Every single one of the environments he had experienced before were very scary. If everyone were to enter the environment from the entrance of the ring … Then it wasn’t the worst. The most frightening thing was that the door wasn’t open yet. Everyone was still outside the ring. The moment they entered the environment was the moment they thought that the door would open, which was when Xu Shang and his men stopped An Zheng and the rest.

An Zheng had experienced different illusions and experienced all kinds of terrors, so he knew more than anyone else when it came to identifying illusions. He was thinking about whether or not it was an illusion, and he was thinking about it more than anyone else.

“Where’s Xu Shang?”

An Zheng turned around to take a look.

As expected, Xu Shang, who had been keeping a close eye on them, had disappeared.

Chen Shaobai looked around, but he did not see Xu Shang’s shadow.

“You are saying … We fell into Xu Shang’s trap? ”

“It’s possible, Xu Shang still wants to defend the ring of great devils. Even though he knows full well that he can’t stop Gu Dangran, he still doesn’t choose to retreat, he’s someone with the will to die. But he doesn’t seem like someone who would act recklessly. Don’t you think that what he said when he first saw Gu Dangran was too impassioned? Those words were said on purpose, probably to make Gu Dangran look down on him. Gu Dangran never thought that Xu Shang would be his match in the first place, and in his pride, this kind of contempt will only grow deeper. ”

An Zheng pondered for a moment: “Xu Shang is very clear, if we want to become the winner, the first thing we need to do is to separate us from Gu Dangran. Because he doesn’t know the relationship between Gu Dangran and us … If this is all an illusion, then he has succeeded. ”

An Zheng walked into the courtyard and shouted from behind. An Zheng waved his hand, signalling for the others to not enter.

An Zheng slowly walked to the front of the people in the courtyard and looked at their faces.

No face.

When he walked to the side, he thought that he would be able to see the faces of the demon cultivators. Previously, An Zheng could tell from their clothes that he had seen one of the demon cultivators before, but after turning around, An Zheng realized that the matter wasn’t as simple as it seemed … He turned to the other side and saw that his back was still facing them.

From the entrance, he could see that these people had their backs. He turned around and looked into the courtyard to see if they still had their backs. However, you couldn’t find any flaws in this process of transformation. When you were halfway there, you would misunderstand that you were about to see the faces of these people, but what you saw was still the back of your head.

“No face.”

But An Zheng’s expression changed.

“No face …”

Chen Shaobai’s expression also changed, because the moment he heard these words, he couldn’t help but think of those frescoes he saw when he first entered the Devil Realm. In one of the murals, there was a faceless monster that had attacked the Immortal palace and massacred a large number of cultivators. As for the demons, immortal palaces, and cultivators of the Mortal Realm and even the demons, they were all fighting back with everything they had. Although it was only a mural, it still gave people an incomparable shock.

What were those faceless monsters? Where did they come from?

And at this very moment, they saw this illusion in the ring.

Chen Shaobai did not hold back and walked in to look. They did not seem to be much of a threat and stood there waving non-stop. Regardless of whether they were looking from the front or the back, they were all beckoning …

“What the hell’s the point?”

Chen Shaobai looked at An Zheng: “Just wave your hand like that?”

An Zheng remained silent for a while and then said: “If we really are hallucinating, then let us first think of one thing …. What is the purpose of this illusion, to kill us or something? In the countryside, there are many times when scarecrows will lower their heads in the vegetable fields. Some people make scarecrows look lifelike, and when the wind blows, they wave their hands in this way … ”

The Divisions Monk reacted in an instant. “Someone is trying to scare us away.”

An Zheng nodded his head: “Maybe. He thinks that we are the birds that would bring disaster to the garden.”

The Monk of the Divisions looked at the demon cultivators, “If we are birds, then who are these people?”

“I don’t know.”

An Zheng looked outside and saw that the street was even colder than before. The people that had swarmed in before this small city was enough to fill this place up. So it’s impossible to say for sure when the hallucinations started. If they really didn’t come in, then everyone would be outside of the Ring …

An Zheng suddenly said: “We are not the same kind of person. I am Da Chi’s successor, and even if this person is the devil master’s successor, it is not fake. This time, we have come to find the Elder Chang Mo to ask his about a certain truth. ”

He cupped his fists. “We are full of respect towards the Xu family. We will definitely not make an enemy out of the Xu family.”

No one answered him, and the surroundings were completely silent.

But at this moment, the demon cultivators standing in the courtyard suddenly turned around. When he turned around, Du Shoushou cried out in fear. He saw their faces. Those demon cultivators were not faceless monsters. Every face was so clear and familiar … What Du Shoushou saw were several Du Shoushou s. Her figure was tall and short, but her face was Du Shoushou’s.

The others were the same as well. An Zheng saw a few of his own faces, while Chen Shaobai saw his. Everyone saw themselves in the bodies of the demon cultivators. They were all empty, expressionless, and like zombies.

“Let’s go!”

An Zheng pulled Du Shoushou and retreated, but right at this moment, the demon cultivators’ faces started to change. Sometimes they would change into Du Shoushou, and sometimes they would change into Chen Shaobai. Roughly a few seconds later, their bodies matched perfectly with their faces. When their faces were Du Shoushou, their bodies were tall and big, but when Chen Shaobai was around, they seemed a little thinner …

“This isn’t a scarecrow anymore.”

An Zheng and the others quickly withdrew, and then they heard a miserable scream. These miserable wails came from all directions, and each one of them sounded very miserable. An Zheng and the others saw countless cultivators rushing out from one courtyard after another, and all of them panicked. Behind them followed an identical group of cultivators. He had the same physique and appearance as the demon cultivators, the only difference being his expressionless face.

A demon cultivator howled as he retreated out of the courtyard, running like a madman in the direction of the city gate. In the courtyard he came from, a demon cultivator who looked exactly like him walked out expressionlessly, and then slowly raised his hand and tapped his forehead. This movement looked extremely strange. Moreover, the tap didn’t have any fluctuation of aura. It wasn’t intense, nor was it terrifying. It was just strange.

However, with just a single tap of his finger, the body of the demon cultivator that had dashed out before suddenly fell straight down. It was an extremely fierce fall. It was as if a living person had turned intiece of wood in the middle of the air and had fallen to the ground, motionless. And the place where this person fell, wasn’t very far from An Zheng and the others.

An Zheng glanced at it, “Dead.”

A living demon cultivator had been killed by a cultivator from the courtyard who was exactly the same as him. The method of killing was so strange that it was hard to imagine. Just by pointing at himself, the other party was already dead.

Then the expressionless man began to walk step by step toward the door, outside the Ring. When he was near the city gate, his body suddenly floated up as if he had just passed throughin layer of film. Then, he disappeared. Space itself began to tremble slightly, but then quickly returned to normal.

“I know how those who wanted to enter the Sealing Land died.”

Chen Shaobai swallowed his saliva: “We shouldn’t have entered.”

The people who had been in the yard before, the ones who were changing their expressions walked out as well. Their expressions were basically fixed. An Zheng went in, Chen Shaobai went in, Du Shoushou went in, no one else went in, so the three people who came out were An Zheng, Chen Shaobai and Du Shoushou.

“It’s not an illusion.”

An Zheng sighed: “It’s much more exciting than an illusion.”

“What do we do now?”

Du Shoushou asked nervously. He was really afraid that the guy who looked exactly like him would raise his hand and tap his forehead. If I die without knowing why, wouldn’t I be wronged?] He was a man after all. He had fought to the death and had died a great death. He really couldn’t accept dying in such a muddled manner.

Beside them, demon cultivators were rushing about, one after another. The previously deserted street had regained its previous bustle of bustling activity. The only difference was that these demon cultivators were even crazier than when they first entered, and they were even faster at running. An Zheng and the others, on the other hand, seemed very special, as though they were a few very different stones that were standing in a great wave.

More and more demon cultivators came out of the courtyard and raised their hands to touch their foreheads, and more and more demon cultivators suddenly fell to the ground and died. No one knew where the connection between their foreheads and their deaths was, but this kind of death was irrevocable.

The dead demon cultivator collapsed to the ground, quickly transforming into dust and disappearing. Meanwhile, the demon cultivators that had come out of the courtyard began to walk towards the city gate, passing through a layer of things that could not be seen. Outside, perhaps, was what people thought was a corpse.

“An Zheng, think of a way!”

Du Shoushou anxiously shouted, because he saw that the guy who looked exactly like him had already raised his hand.

“Let’s go back.”

An Zheng suddenly said a word as his gaze drifted towards the courtyard.

“Go back inside.”
