Chapter 267 Artifact

"If you want to leave, then defeat me!" The black-clothed lady sneered. With a shake of her body, a black mist enveloped her, and she unexpectedly transformed into the appearance of Lin Heng's father.
Lin Heng, who originally intended to throw a punch, was momentarily stunned. But in that moment of confusion, "Father" kicked towards him.
"Bang!"
The kick landed right on Lin Heng's chest, causing him to be sent flying backward.
Lin Heng, who fell to the ground, felt intense pain all over his body. He looked at his "father" who was speeding towards him in the distance and quietly apologized to his old man in his heart. Then he suddenly stood up and rushed forward with a sprint.
"Damn it, don't show your father's face!" Lin Heng roared as he threw a punch.
"Bang!"
The punch landed solidly on "his father's" face, and suddenly the surroundings began to violently shake, as the world started to collapse.
"Father" also began to slowly crumble, and the black-clad mature woman appeared again. She reached out and hooked her finger under Lin Heng's chin, extending her tongue to lick her own red lips. She then seductively said, "Quite an intriguing young man. I can't wait for our next encounter and the scene it will bring..."
Lin Heng's body suddenly staggered, and then he fell heavily to the ground with his face.
But Lin Heng didn't pay attention to the pain on his cheek. He immediately lifted his head and looked around, only to see the surroundings slowly transforming into the grand hall adorned with a gigantic mirror.
Lin Heng got up and looked around, only to see Aoxue, Luoxia, and Yuling Yue sitting on cushions, their bodies trembling violently, and their clothes soaked with sweat.
"They must have also encountered the same situation..." Lin Heng couldn't help but worry about them.
If it wasn't for the deviation in the water flow direction when he washed his hands, he might still be trapped in that "gentle town" now.
Lin Heng looked up at the enormous mirror and silently thought, "Such a clever tactic. First showing us a cruel scene and then showing us the place where we most desire to live. How can anyone resist falling for it?"
"Give me- Get out of here!" Suddenly, a low and harsh voice resounded. Lin Heng hurriedly followed the sound and saw Ao Xue trembling on the cushion, and after making the sound, she fell forward. Translated: "
Lin Heng didn't want to let Xiaolongnü fall face down, so he swiftly reached out and caught her, embracing her in his arms.
Ao Xue looked up and saw that it was Lin Heng who was hugging her. A pair of blue eyes immediately welled up with watery emotions. She grabbed Lin Heng's clothes and earnestly asked, "Are you Brother Lin Heng?
This is a sentence without any logic, but Lin Heng still immediately understood what Ao Xue wanted to ask.
"I am, I am." Lin Heng knew that Ao Xue must have also encountered the "Gentle Town" within the secret realm. Although Lin Heng was very surprised that she was the first person to escape besides himself.
Big tears rolled down from Ao Xue's eyes as she cried, "Brother Lin Heng, I just saw my father and my grandfather... but Ao Xue knows they were just tricking me. My father has never spoken to me with such patience, and my grandfather Xiaoxue has never been seen before... Someone wants to deceive Xiaoxue and never let her out."
Lin Heng gently stroked Ao Xue's back with his hand and comforted her in a low voice, "Xiao Xue, don't be afraid, it's all over now, it's all over now..."
Ao Xue hastily wiped away her tears and turned her head to look at Luo Xia, who was still trapped in the illusion, and said anxiously, "Brother Lin Heng, please help Aunt Luo quickly."
Lin Heng thought for a moment and quickly pulled out a water bag from his pocket. He looked around and didn't see any black-robed figures. Lin Heng directly opened the mouth of the water bag and poured the cold water onto Luo Xia's head.
After being doused with cold water, Luo Xia's body trembled several times, and then she suddenly opened her eyes and started to gasp heavily.
Luo Xia reached out to wipe her face and looked around left and right. After seeing the surroundings, she was stunned for three or four seconds before finally reacting.
It is also unknown what Luoxia experienced in the illusion, as she had a face full of desolation and confusion.
But at this moment, Lin Heng had no time to ask further questions. He looked towards Yuling Yueer, who was kneeling on the other side, trembling with fear.
Lin Heng poured the water that was not completely poured out from his water bag over Luo Xia's head.
The latter let out a "ouch" and abruptly opened her eyes, looking bewildered at her surroundings.
林恒将水袋收好，低声道：“此地太邪性了，不是久留之地，快走。”
御灵月儿此刻方才反应了过来，她偏过头悄悄地看了林恒一眼，脑海之中似乎又出现了刚才看到的画面，她的脸颊忽然无声的红了起来。
Yuling Yue quickly tucked her wet hair behind her ears and followed Lin Heng as he walked away.
After leaving the main hall, the group did not linger in the church but left straight away.
They went in in the morning, but when they walked out of the church, they found that the sun had moved quite a bit towards the west.
"Is it already afternoon now?" Luo Xia exclaimed in surprise.
Lin Heng nodded slightly and said, "I'm afraid so."
"Damn it, have we been here... for four or five hours?" Luo Xia continued, her face looking somewhat gloomy.
Lin Heng sighed and said, "I'm afraid that's the case. Alright, there might be Templar spies on the way, so let's not linger here. Let's go back to the inn first and discuss further."
Everyone then returned to the rented hotel carriage. As everyone had sweat profusely from exertion, they all took showers once they got back to the hotel.
林恒等人也不例外，洗完澡后，众人穿戴整齐的聚在一起。
“我大概已经猜到了咱们要找的第二件神器究竟是什么了。”林恒直接开口道。
Luoxia and Yuling Yue did not speak, but Aoxue raised her hand and asked loudly, "Brother Lin Heng, what is the second artifact?"
"It is the Holy Mirror from the Holy Mirror Sect," Lin Heng said directly.
However, Luo Xia frowned and said, "I also guessed that the second artifact is the Holy Mirror, but at the moment we are lacking people in this Blue Capital, we lack combat strength."
林恒听完洛霞的话，他眉头轻轻的挑了挑，心中暗道：“好家伙，看这架势要是自己在这，这些人能想到的办法就只剩下硬抢这一条路了。”
Yu Lingyue also spoke up, "If only we knew the theme of this test."
Lin Heng closed his eyes and pondered what this test was actually evaluating. After a long while, he looked up again, but still had no clue.
“该死的……”林恒伸手攥住了拳头，这种让他感觉不到下一步发展方向的感觉实在是太差了。
