Misguided practice of sinister cultivation techniques: Slander! The problem lies with you all, not me!-Chapter 1001 - 522: Netherworld Underground, Night Parade of a Hundred Ghosts!

Wei Wuxing had once described his journey from that hazy river to the Netherworld, saying the river was dreamlike and illusory.

It turns out it wasn't the river that was dreamlike, but rather he himself was mesmerized by the sound of the water, lost in it.

This was also the reason he suddenly abandoned the idea of making the burglar's hole so perfectly round.

Duan Yun was able to detect this because he found that the more he listened to the sound of the water, the more it resembled his "Moon Dream Heart Sutra", both using the vibrations of sound frequencies to alter brainwaves, leading to hallucinations.

So he used poison against poison, which is why Murong snapped out of it after hearing "I want to be a Great Hero!" in his mind.

Murong looked at the many lifelike statues of women and couldn't help complaining: "Fake, all fake, deceiving me!"

"There were so many of them, but they all turned into stone statues, it's truly outrageous."

He then looked at the underground river and said: "But this water isn't yellow?"

According to Wei Wuxing, the river he entered was murky yellow, as if infused with the glow of a sunset, looking dreamlike and illusory.

But now the river is not yellow at all, just like any other river, plain and unremarkable, not even as pretty as the sapphire river outside.

Duan Yun couldn't help but suspect that the so-called yellow color of the river was just another one of Wei Wuxing's hallucinations.

Murong looked at the statues and asked: "What do we do now?"

Duan Yun said: "Follow the sound of the water."

The sound of this water was so peculiar, it might conceal some secret.

Then the two of them followed the river upstream.

Murong kept shouting: "I want to be a Great Hero!"

That was Duan Yun continually using vibrating ripples to affect his brainwaves, preventing him from falling into illusions.

But to be honest, his solitary shouting looked quite eerie, probably scary enough to spook any ghost.

The sound of the water grew louder and more distinct.

Murong continued to shout: "I want to be a Great Hero!"

This time, it wasn't because of Duan Yun's influence, but because he shouted on his own accord.

It seemed like once the words were spoken, all the sinister things had to retreat.

At this moment, there was a splash as Duan Yun jumped into the water.

The water was very clear, but due to the too dim surrounding, it appeared dark and gloomy.

Because Duan Yun used the Room Pupil Technique, Murong watched from the bank and only saw Duan Yun's eyes glowing blue in the water, looking just like a water ghost, quite terrifying.

Duan Yun, with his vision fully open, did indeed discover something.

There were some small copper bells hanging in the flowing water.

Duan Yun guessed that when water flowed against these copper bells, it caused changes in the water sound, which easily affected one's brainwaves, leading to hallucinations.

So it was this thing at work.

Duan Yun extended a finger, and the Breaking Body Sword Energy instantly shot out, shattering the bells.

But almost at the same time, a bizarre explosive sound suddenly rang out.

Duan Yun's ears buzzed, he felt the whole world swirling, like being spun in a washing machine, and vaguely saw his grandfather.

"I want to be a Great Hero!"

In that instant, he steadied his mind with his favorite line "I want to be a Great Hero!", snapping back to clarity.

The aftershocks of the explosion still lingered.

Duan Yun surfaced from the water to see Murong in a partially clothed state, running wildly, looking relaxed, as if in a state of ecstatic bliss, like a wild run on the beach.

Until the words "I want to be a Great Hero!" rang out, he stood there bewildered, blood streaming from both his nose and ears.

Murong quickly wiped away the blood and said: "What happened just now, it exploded all of a sudden, and then..."

"I went wild?"

Duan Yun explained what he had discovered underwater, and Murong couldn't help but scorn: "Really sinister!"

If anyone found out this hallucination-inducing water sound was caused by these copper bells, the immediate reaction would be to destroy them, but smashing them was actually a trap.

An even bigger trap.

If it weren't for Duan Yun's deep understanding, perhaps he too would have been running around naked like Murong.

But this also indirectly confirmed that this was indeed the same river Wei Wuxing had ventured into back then.

"Let's go."

Duan Yun waved his hand and continued swimming inward.

Murong followed him into the water as well.

With the copper bells destroyed, the hallucination-inducing feeling was gone.

Yet the two didn't let their guard down.

Because their earlier experience had already told them that everything here was filled with malice.

The river moved gently, yet they could sense they were moving downstream.

By now, the entire river channel had entered a confined cave.

The cave was completely dark and silent; Murong could only see the shallow color of the water and Duan Yun's glowing eyes.

Honestly speaking, if he hadn't known this good brother so well, he might have even been somewhat afraid of him.

Because, damn it, he resembled a ghost too much.

Suddenly, both of them caught each other's glance.

For at this moment, they both sensed that the water had warmed up a bit.

If the water earlier was freezing cold, then to Murong, this was a little like Ning Qing's footbath water.

After all, Ning Qing's footbath water was often made warm by him.

Having sensed the change, they continued swimming through this "footbath water".

Along the way, Duan Yun kept using the Room Pupil Technique, trying to see the surroundings more clearly.

But compared to the initial sinister copper bells, the journey has been uneventful, as if there was nothing here but water.
