The Desert Trembled

Lan sat on the sand as he looked at the silent surroundings. He could feel the strange fluctuations of his emotions, but he was not close to losing sanity like Xue Wei and the ghosts they had encountered previously had done.

Was the ability to keep sane due to his strength, or were there some hidden causes behind the changes that had occurred within this area?

Xue Wei was not acting as the ghosts. He was not violent or eager to fight; however, he had been blinded by the temptations of something unknown, which made him lose all sanity.

Such manipulation of feelings made Lan uncomfortable, as even he was unable to counter them. There had been no fluctuations within the heaven or earth energy, nor had the soul energy been stirred, causing him to find no clue behind the strange phenomenon.

He was not even capable of bringing Xue Wei elsewhere, as he did not know where to go. He could only hope that the brief break would clear up the younger man's thoughts.
