Chapter 1443 - Flower Faces
Liu Wuxie said nothing. Ever since they stepped onto this street, his attention had never been on the storefronts but on the structures behind them.
The shopfronts all looked identical from the outside, yet the deeper he probed, the more he realized their interiors were different.
"The shops are linked together, and the internal structure is different," Liu Wuxie said. With Ghost Eye, he saw far more clearly than anyone relying on ordinary methods.
Qiao Bian and Han Feizi could only rely on their divine senses, and many of the deeper regions lay beyond their reach due to the limited range.
"Are we still going forward?" Qiao Bian asked, stopping and turning to the other two.
A three-way fork stood ahead of them, giving the eerie impression of leading into another world. The Mandala Flowers along the path bloomed even more seductively here; their petals were so red they looked like fresh blood, and they were so black that they reflected the outline of a person's face. Red and black intertwined across each flower, like two opposing energies tangled together.
"It's still early. Let's keep going a little farther," Han Feizi said. He felt the same invisible tug that Liu Wuxie did, a mysterious force pulling him onward.
Liu Wuxie had no objections, so the three of them picked a street and continued. In the outer regions, the Mandala Flowers only crawled along the buildings' walls, but once they entered this area, they carpeted the entire street. It was like walking through an ocean of Mandala Flowers.
Suddenly, Liu Wuxie halted and crouched down, closely examining the Mandala Flower by his foot.
"Brother Liu—" Han Feizi started, but Liu Wuxie cut him off with a wave of his hand.
Han Feizi and Qiao Bian followed his lead and crouched with him, studying the flower together.
"This is strange. This flower is clearly bigger than the others," Qiao Bian said with a frown, feeling something off about the Mandala Flower before him.
