Chapter 2198: Danger in Xuhai City 2
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The illusions within Taiwu Illusion were not particularly menacing, but the clever aspect of Taiwu Illusion lay in its ability to generate numerous smaller illusions, effectively dispersing individuals into distinct hallucinations. This division prevented people from cooperating, diminishing their collective strength. Meanwhile, the phantasmal creatures within these illusions continually drained the practitioner’s magical reserves and physical vitality. Consequently, when the practitioner reached their most vulnerable state, the illusory monsters could deliver a fatal blow. This approach often led the practitioner to become disoriented and trapped within a smaller illusion.
Gu Chaoyan stepped out of the spatial rift and gazed at the Head of the Undead Race. “Let’s proceed.”
“Where are we headed? It’s all just an illusion; what could we possibly achieve? We’re only putting ourselves in harm’s way!” The Head of the Undead Race appeared to fear death.
“You’re the most timid one!” Gu Chaoyan rebuked, her determination unwavering. She advanced resolutely.
Reluctantly, the Head of the Undead Race followed, his apprehension palpable.
They remained in close proximity to each other, and as they entered the illusion, they were immediately ensnared in a smaller, individualized hallucination—a scenario reminiscent of the trials Gu Chaoyan had faced upon joining the Supreme Sect and Array Sect.
However…
This environment proved far more perilous, and the dangers were real, unlike the assessments monitored by the Elder Men.
“Why do we still find ourselves in Xuhai City? Aren’t we inside the illusion?” The Head of the Undead Race inquired, perplexed. The surroundings appeared identical to their previous location, except for the absence of certain individuals.
“We are indeed within the illusion,” Gu Chaoyan clarified, the only two souls present in this distorted realm. She sensed neither the presence of life nor the shadow of death; this place seemed devoid of any vitality. Where else could they possibly be?
Gu Chaoyan fixed her gaze on the Head of the Undead Race. “Are you not familiar with this illusion?”
The Head of the Undead Race appeared reluctant to delve into the topic, avoiding eye contact as he glanced around.
“I encountered you within the illusion in Xuhai City,” Gu Chaoyan remarked with keen interest, reminiscing about the past.
Back then…
She had suspected that the illusion was the creation of the Head of the Undead Race. However, after speaking with him and observing his reactions, she became nearly certain that he was not responsible. He had never mentioned the events of that day or why he had found himself within the illusion once more.
“What’s so peculiar about my presence within the Xuhai City illusion?” The
Head of the Undead Race deflected the conversation, still avoiding Gu Chaoyan’s gaze. “But what’s truly unusual is the complete absence of danger here.”
He attempted to shift the subject.
Yet, Gu Chaoyan had no intention of allowing him to change the focus of their discussion. She grinned mischievously as she locked eyes with the Head of the Undead Race.
Whenever the illusion dissipated, he would suddenly reappear before them, and he seemed fixated on acquiring Xuhai City. He couldn’t even discern whether he was within the illusion or the genuine Xuhai City. Initially deceived, he had remained trapped within the illusion. Hahahahaha.
The absurdity of it all tickled Gu Chaoyan’s sense of humor.
“Tell me, are you truly the Head of the Undead Race? How did you ascend to that position? Falling for the same illusion repeatedly is hardly the behavior of a typical individual, ” Gu Chaoyan asked, thoroughly amused..
