I swept the Phoenix with the Onmyoji Shikigami

Chapter 231 The Wise Man of the Spirit World

But what made Xing'er despair was that Shen Li seemed to be deeply bound by the illusion and had no response to the call from the outside world.

At this moment of life and death, the star necklace worn on Shen Li's neck suddenly burst into a dazzling blue light. That light was like the brightest star in the night sky, penetrating the shackles of illusion and illuminating Shen Li's heart.

Shen Li trembled violently, and the illusion before her eyes shattered and dissipated like bubbles, and she finally returned to the real world.

"I almost fell into the trap!" Shen Li sighed.

She looked around and saw Xing'er's anxious face, her comrades' nervous figures, and the enemies who were about to kill her. She immediately realized her situation, and a strong desire to survive and fight surged in her heart.

"It's okay, Sister Shen Li, as long as you wake up!" In the tense and fierce fighting atmosphere, Xing'er encouraged Shen Li in the distance, separated by several enemies.

Shen Li nodded slightly to Xing'er, signaling him not to worry.

Shen Li took a deep breath, and her eyes quickly cleared from the blur, flashing with determination.

She knew very well that every minute and every second at this moment was crucial and no slackness was allowed.

So she quickly adjusted her state, tensing all the muscles in her body, as if she was an arrow about to leave the bow, ready to be shot.

"Watch this!" Shen Li shouted confidently, instantly boosting the morale of the soldiers.

"Okay, kill!" The soldiers also responded to the call, responding to Shen Li's encouragement.

She tightly grasped the Sky-Breaking Spear in her hand. The spear was her most trusted companion, accompanying her through countless battles and trials.

The tip of the gun flashed coldly in the afterglow of the setting sun, like an icy blade, exuding a heart-pounding murderous aura.

Shen Li could feel the power contained in the spear, which was the result of her countless tempering and honing, and also the embodiment of her desire and belief in victory.

At this moment, Xing'er also noticed Shen Li's changes, and he knew that this was the critical moment to wake up Shen Li.

For a moment, several enemies besieged Shen Li, and the situation was extremely critical.

"Break the air!" Xing'er shouted, and he launched the "Starfall Strike" without hesitation. This was a powerful skill he retrieved from his memory, and it was also his determination to protect Shen Li and everyone at all costs.

He just waved his hands lightly, and the power of the stars seemed to be awakened, gathering from all directions to form a dazzling light, striking directly at the enemies who were confused by the illusion.

"Take my Sky-piercing Slash!" Shen Li also swung his arm confidently, and the killing move came out fiercely.

At this moment, Shen Li and Xing'er's attacks reached perfect tacit understanding and coordination. Shen Li's spear was like a dragon soaring into the sky, piercing the enemy's vital points with unstoppable force; while Xing'er's star strike was like an alien, with destructive power, completely breaking the enemy's defense line. The combination of the two formed an indestructible force, instantly breaking the shackles of the illusion, defeating the enemy and sending them fleeing in all directions.

Shen Li's eyes swept slowly across the battlefield. Every remains of the enemy seemed like a silent accusation, causing ripples in her heart.

She turned to look at Xing'er, her eyes filled with gratitude and complex emotions.

"Xing'er, thank you... If it weren't for you, I might have..." Shen Li's voice was a little choked. She couldn't imagine what the consequences would be if she really fell into the illusion and couldn't extricate herself.

Xing'er smiled gently, reached out and patted Shen Li's shoulder, giving her silent comfort. "Sister Shen Li, we are partners, aren't we? No matter what difficulties we encounter, we should face them together and solve them together." His eyes were full of determination and trust, which made Shen Li feel a warm current in her heart.

The two looked at each other for a moment, then Shen Li took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She knew that now was not the time to be immersed in gratitude and self-blame, they had more important things to do - uncover the conspiracy behind this battle.

"We have to find out as soon as possible who sent these enemies and why they committed suicide so mysteriously." Shen Li said in a deep voice, her tone revealing unquestionable determination.

Xing'er nodded in agreement. "Besides, we have to find out why they can create such a realistic illusion. There must be someone behind this who is giving them the guidance."

He added, his eyes gleaming with curiosity and alertness.

So, the two began to search the battlefield carefully, looking for any clues that might have been left behind.

They not only checked the enemy's equipment and weapons, but also carefully examined the surrounding environment, trying to find any clues.

After some efforts, they finally found a stone tablet with strange symbols in a hidden corner. The stone tablet looked very old, and the symbols on it were even more obscure and difficult to understand. But Shen Li and Xing'er both keenly realized that these symbols might be related to the identity and purpose of the enemy.

"It seems that we need to find an expert who understands these symbols to interpret it." Shen Li said after thinking for a moment.

Xing'er nodded in agreement and suggested: "We can visit the wise men in the spiritual world. Maybe they can answer these questions for us."

Shen Li's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she thought it was a good idea, "Xing'er, you have only been in the spirit world for a hundred years, and you seem to be more familiar with it than I am."

Therefore, Shen Li decided to set off immediately to where the wise man was, hoping to uncover the truth behind the battle, as well as the conspiracies and secrets hidden in the dark.

After Shen Li and Xing'er decided to go to the place where the wise man was to find out the truth, a touch of warmth was unexpectedly added to their journey.

With his keen intuition and extensive connections, Xing'er found out that there was an old man with a white beard in a famous flea market in the spirit world. His whereabouts were erratic, but he was well-known for interpreting ancient texts. There was almost no ancient text book that he could not understand. This news undoubtedly lit up a beacon for their investigation.

So, on a sunny morning, Xing'er took Shen Li on the road to the flea market. On the way, Rouya, as Shen Li's personal maid, had always taken care of Shen Li's daily life. When she heard that this trip might take some time, she became worried about the affairs in the mansion, especially those daily necessities.

Rouya said that she wanted to buy some things for the house, and the flea market was not a dangerous place, so she insisted on going with us.

Shen Li had no choice but to take Rou Ya with her, muttering to herself that it would be better for her to go by herself, come back quickly, and finish the task neatly.

Rouya snickered and said, "Miss, with your impetuous personality, how can you ever find your ideal partner? What will you do when the heavens come to urge you to get married?"
