Chapter 113: Desire

The five of them rested for a moment, but as the surroundings remained unchanged and no new path to the "Death Propagation" appeared, they began to feel a growing sense of unease.

Could it be... that the "Chamber of Forbidden Desires" had not yet ended? Could it be that the Manjusaka had not been completely eradicated?!

At this thought, they instinctively pressed their backs against one another, warily scanning their surroundings. Mu You’s heart tightened; if the Blazing Phoenix Heaven-Splitting Slash from moments ago had truly failed to kill the Manjusaka, he would be unable to unleash such a powerful, peerless technique again, even if he drained himself dry.

They remained on high alert for a long time, yet no danger manifested. The scattered branches and broken wood across the ground remained lifeless, showing no signs of recovery.

Was there some hidden variable left unresolved?!

Just as they were mired in doubt, Mu You suddenly felt something bump into his shoulder. Whatever invisible entity it was simply walked past, showing no signs of further aggression.

These were the transparent humanoid creatures from before!

Before long, not only Mu You but the others as well were "favored" by these transparent beings. It seemed these creatures harbored no malice; they were merely lingering in the space without consciousness, occasionally brushing against the group.

"I remember now!"

Seeing this, Mu You clapped his hands, deep in thought, and immediately hurried toward the nearest crystal coffin.

"Hmm?"

Seeing Mu You’s sudden realization, the others followed him. Without a second thought, Mu You flipped open the lid of the coffin of Desire.
