Chapter 632 Contacting Ning Beichen

Haitang, who was communicating with Ning Beichen using witchcraft, could only persist for a short while before failing. This caused her brow to furrow.

She had clearly felt a connection with Ning Beichen just moments ago, but for some reason, it felt as if an invisible mist lay between them.

Furthermore, Haitang discovered that using her witchcraft to contact Ning Beichen this time was particularly taxing, something that had never happened before.

Haitang desperately wanted to share this good news with Liu Yilin immediately, but fearing she might have misperceived, she decided to try again.

However, Haitang soon found to her dismay that her witch power had been completely depleted. It would take at least six hours for her witch power to recover before she could use it again.

With no other option, Haitang had to temporarily give up trying to contact Ning Beichen.

Perhaps it was due to the depletion of her witch power, but unknowingly, Haitang also fell asleep. When she opened her eyes, it was already noon the next day.

Haitang quickly got up and saw that Liu Yilin was already awake and cooking nearby. This relieved her greatly. She then recalled what had happened last night and intended to tell Liu Yilin.

However, she reconsidered, realizing she wasn't certain if she had truly contacted Ning Beichen and didn't want to give Haitang false hope. Thus, she decided not to tell her too soon, waiting until she was sure.

Thinking of this, Haitang suddenly remembered the shadowy figure. She quickly turned her head to look, but there was no trace of the shadowy figure within the witch formation.

"Haitang, what's wrong?"

Liu Yilin noticed Haitang's peculiar expression and asked her with concern.

After resting all night, Liu Yilin's spirits had recovered considerably. She no longer looked as fatigued as she had yesterday.

"N-nothing."

Haitang still didn't mention what had happened last night.

Liu Yilin didn't press further, assuming Haitang was tired. After all, Haitang's situation hadn't been any better than hers along the way.

"That's good, then. I've made food. Come and eat a little. After you eat, get some more rest, and I'll guard you."

Liu Yilin said to her.

Since they had decided to rest and recuperate, it was natural to restore their spirits and energy first.

Haitang nodded distractedly and ate a bit absentmindedly. Her mind was still on last night's events, and she couldn't help but speak to Liu Yilin.

"Yilin, I think I saw the shadowy figure last night as well."

"Really? You really saw the shadowy figure?"

Liu Yilin had been unwilling to believe she had seen an illusion. After all, she was a cultivator nearing the Grandmaster level, not an eighty-year-old woman with presbyopia.

Haitang nodded at her but didn't mention that she had communicated with the shadowy figure using witchcraft last night, suspecting it to be Ning Beichen. She feared she might be mistaken and cause Liu Yilin unnecessary disappointment.

"But I don't think the shadowy figure meant any harm. I've decided to stay here and observe for a while longer."

Haitang said.

Liu Yilin nodded. She had no objections. Moreover, it wasn't just Haitang who felt a familiarity with the shadowy figure. Liu Yilin had been with Ning Beichen for a long time, and her feelings were even deeper than Haitang's.

However, she wasn't completely certain either, which was why she hadn't told Haitang these thoughts.

The two women, each with their own thoughts, ate their fill. Afterward, Haitang cultivated for a while. As her witch power recovered, she had no desire to rest further and began to pay attention to the movements around them.

However, the appearance of the shadowy figure seemed to have no pattern, and they waited for a long time without seeing any sign of it.

Yet, neither of them gave up, continuing to wait patiently. They were both unable to sleep anyway.

Just as they were both starting to feel drowsy, the shadowy figure suddenly appeared again from the wall. Seeing this, Haitang and Liu Yilin immediately took action.

Haitang immediately activated the witch formation, while Liu Yilin intended to capture it.

However, the shadowy figure had no physical form, and Liu Yilin grabbed at empty air. Haitang's witch formation successfully trapped the shadowy figure, but Haitang knew that even the witch formation wouldn't hold it for long, as she had tried it last night. Therefore, she had to seize the opportunity to contact the shadowy figure immediately.

"Ning Beichen, Ning Beichen, where are you?"

With a tinkling sound, Haitang shook the bells on her ankles and performed a strange witch dance, using spirit communication to connect with the shadowy figure.

Meanwhile, Ning Beichen, who was in the mountains, was experiencing nighttime. He hadn't stood guard that night. After setting up arrays, he began to rest.

While groggily asleep, he suddenly heard someone calling him.

"Ning Beichen, Ning Beichen, where are you?"

At first, Ning Beichen thought he was dreaming, but he soon opened his eyes. The voice was directly in his ears, and the voice calling him was incredibly familiar.

"Haitang!"

Ning Beichen sat up abruptly but looked around his surroundings. Haitang was nowhere to be seen.

"No, I'm in another world, and Haitang is in my original world. She couldn't possibly be here?"

Ning Beichen immediately remembered that he was no longer in his original world.

Just as he was feeling confused, Haitang's voice called out to him again in his ears, and the voice was becoming more urgent, like a battery running out of power.

"Spirit communication. It must be Haitang using her world's spirit communication witchcraft to call me."

Ning Beichen immediately recalled Haitang's identity as a Miao witch.

This made Ning Beichen excited. He then spoke out.

"Haitang, Haitang, is that you?"

However, it seemed to have no effect. Haitang didn't hear his reply.

At this moment, Ning Beichen also became anxious. He desperately wanted to connect with Haitang so he could tell her about his experiences.

Unfortunately, Haitang couldn't hear his response, which filled him with a sense of helplessness.

The commotion he caused also attracted Yang Qianrou and the others, who asked if Ning Beichen had any instructions.

Ning Beichen, however, was in no mood to talk to them. He simply waved his hand, indicating that he was fine.

Next, Ning Beichen waited for Haitang's call again, but unfortunately, there was no sign of her for a long time, which made Ning Beichen feel disheartened.

However, he was absolutely certain that he wasn't hallucinating. This had happened once yesterday, but at the time, he had dismissed it as a hallucination.

This time, however, Ning Beichen was one hundred percent sure that he was not hallucinating; it was indeed Haitang calling him.

But how should he contact her?

Responding directly was clearly useless, as he had tried many times before. Haitang didn't react to his responses, meaning she hadn't received them.
