Kan Wenxiao suddenly raised his head.
The originally dark sky became increasingly gloomy, as heavy as if soaked in ink. It looked as if it was falling straight down, and the distance from the ground kept getting closer, giving off an unsettling feeling of suffocation.
The ground beneath his feet slightly tremored, as if something was about to break out of it.
Everything around him became weird.
Xue Rongxiang was born in the earth and was more sensitive than him. She huddled on his shoulder and asked, “Brother, do you feel like the ground is moving?”
“Indeed, it is…”
Before he finished speaking, the movement on the ground suddenly became violent, and countless cracks appeared like scars opened by someone’s sword.
The whole ground was shaking, trees were falling one after another, and the surrounding boulders rolled towards them.
Suddenly, shattering noises burst from the air. Kan Wenxiao looked up and saw that the original sky now looked like broken ice, with endless cracks extending out.
The sky and the earth shook, looking like it was the end of the world.
–
The Void Mirror.
All the sect leaders stood up together.
Just now, the surface of the Void Mirror suddenly shattered, and figures of the disciples reflected in it disappeared instantly.
Although no one knew what had happened, the situation was obviously not good.
Bu Shan was the closest. He walked to the Void Mirror first and asked Yu Huaien, “Yu Zhangmen, what’s going on?”
Yu Huaien frowned and said in a deep voice, “I don’t know either.”
As he said that, he infused the mirror with spiritual power, but the effect was akin to a stone sinking into the ocean, unable to stir up even a splash.
When Bu Shan saw this, he also began to transmit his spiritual power.
Still useless.
At this time, all the sect leaders gathered around, voices ringing one after another, demanding an explanation. “Yu Huaien, what’s going on?”
“Why did the Void Mirror suddenly shatter?”
“Are the lives of the disciples inside in danger?”
“…”
Yu Huaien withdrew his hand that conveyed spiritual power, observing the broken mirror as he spoke solemnly, “The Void Mirror is the most precious treasure of the Hengyue Sect. There is no known reason as to why it would suddenly shatter. There must be some reason behind, but I can’t figure it out for a while. I am the most familiar with the Void Mirror, and the top priority is for all the sect leaders and elders to go in with me and bring out the disciples.”
Jian Xiuyun looked at the shaky mirror in front of him and asked with some worry, “Can we make it in time?”
Yu Huaien pondered for a moment and said, “There should be enough time.”
After speaking, he raised his eyes and looked at all the sect leaders and elders present, “Do you have any objections?”
Bu Shan was the first to reply, “No.”
Liu Jun also replied, “No.”
“No.”
“….”
Soon, Jian Xiuyun was the only one left who had not expressed his stance.
He had no choice but to respond, “No.”
Although the current situation did intimidate him, he understood well in his heart that as the male protagonist, Kan Wenxiao still had a brilliant future waiting for him, so how could he possibly die in a mere mirror.
But everyone agreed to go in. It would be really inappropriate for him to disagree.
So he could only sigh and walk in with everyone.

As soon as he stepped into the void mirror, his vision was assaulted by thick, black smoke, surrounding him layer by layer. He couldn’t see clearly what was in front of him.

“De Itjcuwfc, Ole Itjcuwfc, Te Itjcuwfc…”
Jian Xiuyun called out, but no one answered him.
Or maybe they did answer, but couldn’t be heard over the loud rumble of falling rocks and earth shattering all around him.
Jian Xiuyun felt that it was an unwise choice to come in. He turned around and wanted to leave, but the door that was originally located behind him had disappeared at some point.
Jian Xiuyun had a bad premonition in his heart.
But there was no way to retreat, so he could only try his best to maintain his balance and slowly walk forward.
He didn’t know how long he walked, but it finally got a little brighter. Although it was still dark, he could now barely see some of the scenery in front of him.
Jian Xiuyun opened his eyes wide and looked around hard.
It was a disaster before his eyes.
A bloody moon hung in the gloomy sky, and all the trees had fallen down. Some animals were too late to escape and were smashed into a puddle of flesh. Various corpses floated on the dark red river, unknown whether they were human or demon. The ground had opened countless gaps akin to bloody wounds. The earth was still shaking, rubble was flying everywhere, and it painted a scene not different from the end of the world.
Jian Xiuyun felt his throat go dry.
Where was Kan Wenxiao? What about those disciples who entered the Void Mirror?
Whether they are all still alive, Jian Xiuyun was a little unsure.
He turned and looked around, and found that all the people who came in together were gone.
He was the only one left here.
Jian Xiuyun felt that agreeing to come in was a stupid decision.
But there was no turning back. The arrow was already shot, so he could only try to find a way out quickly. He had just seen the appearance of the Void Mirror outside, and was afraid that he would not be able to survive for even half an hour.
Jian Xiuyun didn’t waste any more time and walked forward.
The current Void Mirror was in chaos, and every step he took was laden with difficulty.
Not only did he have to watch out for the trees that may fall down at any time, but he also had to be careful of the ground under his feet, which may crack at any time.
A stick of incense had passed, and Jian Xiuyun was still at a loss.
The surrounding scenery seemed to be the same everywhere, chaotic and dark.
Only Yu Huaien knew how to get out of the Void Mirror. If he couldn’t find Yu Huaien, he would probably die here.
But when he just thought about it, he felt that there was something amiss.
Why did the Void Mirror suddenly shatter?
Yu Huaien brought everyone inside, but they all dispersed as soon as they came in.
Was this all an accident or was it planned?
Maybe saving the disciples was merely an excuse, and he just wanted them all to die here.
Just….why?
Jian Xiuyun couldn’t fathom.
In a daze, he failed to notice that the ground under his feet suddenly cracked, opening a gap as wide as one person. A faint red color came out from deep below, which seemed to be magma.
Jian Xiuyun fell straight down.
“Ah…Qinghan Sword!” Jian Xiuyun shouted, and Qinghan Sword at his waist immediately flew out and got into his hand. He immediately stabbed the sword into the surrounding rock wall.
Fortunately, there was dirt all around, and the sword penetrated easily.
Although the inertia led him to slide down a little more, he finally stopped.
Jian Xiuyun held the sword with one hand and gasped a few times. When he calmed down a little, he started to climb up.
He didn’t fall too deep, and soon, the ground entered his sight.
Just as he was about to climb up, the ground shook again. Jian Xiuyun failed to hold on tightly and fell backwards again.
“Ah…” Just as Jian Xiuyun screamed, his wrist was suddenly held.
He looked up and saw Kan Wenxiao.
Kan Wenxiao was half-kneeling on the ground, with a long sword inserted into the soil. He held the sword in one hand to stabilize his body, and grabbed his wrist with the other, trying to pull him up.
Although Jian Xiuyun was rather thin, he was an adult male after all, and his weight should not be underestimated. The veins in Kan Wenxiao’s hands bulged out, as if he was exerting a lot of effort.
“Shizun, hold on.” Kan Wenxiao gritted his teeth and said with blood rising in his throat.
Jian Xiuyun was afraid of having Kan Wenxiao fall down too, so he tried to climb up with his other hand.
Finally, he was pulled up.
Seeing him safely coming up, Kan Wenxiao lost his strength and instantly fell backward, his chest heaving violently.
Jian Xiuyun hurriedly pulled him up, “Don’t sit down, the place where you lie might suddenly crack.”
“Okay.” Kan Wenxiao gasped and supported himself on his hand, standing up.
“Shizun, why did you come in? Are you here to check up on me?” Kan Wenxiao stared at him, his bright eyes holding unconcealed surprise.
“Yeah…yes.” Jian Xiuyun replied.
Although he wasn’t very willing, he did come in to look for him after all.
“Shizun, it’s too dangerous here. We must get out as soon as possible.” Kan Wenxiao looked at the crack not far away with lingering fear.
If he hadn’t passed by and happened to have heard his Shizun’s voice….
The consequences would have been disastrous.
“We have to find Yu Huaien, he is the only one who knows how to get out.” Jian Xiuyun said.
“Has Yu Zhangmen come in too?”
“Yes, but the mirror is very strange. We were separated as soon as we came in.”
“It was the same when I came in with the disciples. The mirror seems to force us to act alone.”
Jian Xiuyun sighed. There was no time to discuss these things now. Finding Yu Huaien was their top priority.
“Let’s go find Yu Zhangmen first.” Jian Xiuyun said.
“Okay.” Kan Wenxiao responded immediately.
The master and disciple pair chose a direction and walked together.
The sky kept darkening, and time could no longer be distinguishable. The crackling sounds in the air were getting stronger and stronger. Jian Xiuyun knew they were running out of time.
The ground was no longer cracked from place to place, but had collapsed in pieces.
Trees, rivers, mountains, and boulders disappeared in an instant.
The two stopped at the same time. Smoke and dust billowed not far away, signs of ground collapsing. As the ground collapsed, everything ahead sank into a void of endless, thick darkness.
It seemed like it was a void.
They looked at each other, turned around, and swiftly ran back.
The whole earth was shaking more and more violently, and the sky was falling apart.
The panic in Jian Xiuyun’s heart grew more and more. What on earth was going on? Was he really going to die here?
How so? Isn’t this a world in a book? Kan Wenxiao is the male protagonist.
Will the male protagonist also die?
Jian Xiuyun stopped.
The ground was also collapsing from this side.
Everything was buried in an instant.
They had no way to escape.
Jian Xiuyun felt despair. Didn’t he get to have a good ending once in his entire life?
At this moment, someone suddenly held his hand gently. Jian Xiuyun turned around and saw that Kan Wenxiao was holding his hand for some reason.
He carefully held his hand firmly, filled with nostalgia and reluctance.
There was a slight smile on his face.
Jian Xiuyun’s voice was bitter, “How can you still smile?”
Kan Wenxiao gazed at him deeply, “I didn’t expect Shizun to come in looking for me. I’m very happy.”
Jian Xiuyun laughed dryly, “Really? Haha, we are going to die here together soon, you can be happier.”
Kan Wenxiao shook his head, suddenly turned around and embraced him.
Jian Xiuyun was stunned, and froze on the spot.
“I won’t let you die.” Kan Wenxiao spoke in his ear.
His voice was not loud, but filled to the brim with determination.
After saying that, he buried his head in Jian Xiuyun’s neck and inhaled deeply, as if he wanted to retain something with all his strength.
The arms holding him also tightened, almost burying him under his body.
Jian Xiuyun was really not used to such intimate actions, so he reached out to push him away.
Kan Wenxiao let go of his hand.
Then he took something out of his sleeves and opened his hand. It was a small golden key.
“Is this the key to the Void Mirror?” Jian Xiuyun asked, surprised.
Kan Wenxiao nodded, and then exerted pressure, pressed the key into the palm of his hand.
Blood poured out instantly, soaking the entire key red.
Then a burst of golden light erupted from the key, and formed the shape of a door in front of him.
Jian Xiuyun was shocked by this series of operations, “How come you have the key to the Void Mirror?”
Kan Wenxiao didn’t answer, but took Xue Rongxiang out of his sleeve and put it in his palm.
Looking at him, he said, “Shizun, go out.”
Jian Xiuyun looked at his appearance and felt inexplicably flustered. He held his wrist and said, “Aren’t you coming with me?”
Kan Wenxiao forced a smile and said, “Only one person can pass through each door.”
“Who said that? How can only one person pass through the door? Let’s go together.” Jian Xiuyun said, pulling him towards the exit.
Before he even walked a few steps, a sudden pain came from his wrist.
He jerked his hand back and found that it had been scratched by a sword. It wasn’t deep, but it was painful.
“Kan…” Before he could turn around, however, a sudden burst of force came from behind him, and he was pushed into the door.
The adsorption force of the door was very strong, and he could not turn around until he was outside.
When he came to his senses, he found that he had come outside and was lying in front of the Void Mirror, covered in dust and in a state of embarrassment.
A burst of cracking sound came from behind him.
He quickly got up and turned around to look.
The Void Mirror was completely broken.
