A Sect from a Spirit Vein

Chapter 618: Chapter 488: Innate Divine Techniques (2)

Is this a silent method to make people disappear?

No! If so, why were Wang Yu’s three corpse puppets chosen in the first place? These three corpse puppets were kept in Wang Yu’s storage pouch; she wouldn’t have known!

This means, it wasn’t her choosing the corpse puppets to mysteriously disappear; they never appeared here from the beginning!

It was Meng Chi using some method that automatically screened out the corpse puppets.

Because corpse puppets are dead!

So her method is not to make people disappear, but to make people, living people, appear here.

So this is—

”An illusion realm!” Lu Qian and Wang Yu said in unison.

Everything that had happened from the start, including the attacks launched by Lu Qian and others, was actually an illusion!

Lu Qian recalled when they first met Meng Chi True Monarch, everyone made eye contact with her. Those with lower willpower were even completely bewitched. Likely, at that moment, everyone had already been drawn into the illusion realm!

They had been relieved they managed to launch a preemptive strike, but now it was clear that the enemy had acted far earlier than anyone realized.

So, the Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Mingyu Sword Sect who disappeared was actually killed by Meng Chi in reality!

As for why the Mingyu Sword Sect’s cultivator was killed first, a scene was frozen in Lu Qian’s mind.

It was when everyone first saw Meng Chi True Monarch. Lu Qian had just finished interrogating the Jade Flood Dragon and was ready to leave. The whole team was lined up in a row. To Lu Qian’s left was the Mingyu Sword Sect cultivator, and to his right was the Yunshan Sect Foundation Establishment cultivator.

And the first on the left was the first to disappear, Cao Mo!

So, Meng Chi True Monarch was killing from left to right, from near to far, one by one!

The Mingyu Sword Sect cultivators were all dead, and the next one would be—

Lu Qian!

Wang Yu suddenly shouted angrily, his fingers like a knife as he thrust his palm fiercely into his own chest with rolling spiritual evil!

”Senior Brother Wang!” several people shouted urgently, Lu Qian’s heart tightened. He knew what Wang Yu was trying to do; he was attempting to escape the illusion realm.

Since Meng Chi True Monarch disappeared after being attacked, it began the killing. So, getting injured or dying in the illusion realm might be a way to leave it.

However, this premise was only possible. If leaving the illusion realm were that simple, a True Monarch’s divine techniques would be too easily broken. It was more likely that Meng Chi True Monarch had control over the method to leave the illusion realm. She might have disappeared after being attacked as a deceptive means.

In such a situation, attempting this was immensely dangerous.

And at this juncture, Wang Yu recklessly risked his life to try!

Blood slowly seeped out of the wound, Wang Yu frowned tightly, quickly saying, ”My life is slipping away, but there’s no sign of waking up. This fading of life force feels too real. If an ordinary person dies in the illusion realm, their divine soul might genuinely consider itself dead!”

He spoke in one breath, gritting his teeth, attempting to slowly pull his palm out. Alongside the huge, open wound on his chest, the muscles squirmed like worms, striving to close and heal.

This operation could only be performed by Wang Yu, who was half-corpse, balancing between vitality and death qi, hovering on the edge of life and death.

If it were true as Wang Yu claimed, the cultivator in reality would perish simultaneously.

Thus, being injured or dying in the illusion realm was tantamount to being unable to escape it.

The shadow of death loomed over Lu Qian. His heart beat like a drum, sweat pouring down his forehead, feeling that any moment, Meng Chi True Monarch might snatch his life away.

It’s been a while since the last Mingyu Sword Sect Foundation Establishment disappeared. Perhaps now, Meng Chi True Monarch stood right before him, watching him with a teasing and cruel gaze, calculating the best place to attack.

Lu Qian took a deep breath, think fast, think fast!

But his divine sense was nearly depleted. Even gathering all his conscious collection could not shake the illusion realm, nor could he discern whether he was in an illusion or not!

The powerlessness and despair left Lu Qian’s face pale. Senior Sister Qingfeng was extremely worried, gripping his hands tightly.

Only Lu Qian and Wang Yu had figured out the full situation and had not yet explained it to everyone in detail. Although the term ”illusion realm” had been mentioned, everyone only realized they were in an illusion realm, not that Lu Qian was the next to die if it went by sequence!

But as long as Lu Qian had any chance of disappearing or dying, it was something Jiang Qingfeng couldn’t accept.

”Junior Brother...” Jiang Qingfeng gave Lu Qian a deep look, suddenly striding forward, yelling into the open space, ”Meng Chi True Monarch! Shame on you for being a Void Refining True Monarch, yet you play vile tricks by hiding your head and showing your tail. If you truly have the skills, kill me first!”

This time, let me protect you. If death is inevitable, let me die before you do.

”Senior Sister!” Lu Qian was deeply shaken; an overwhelming desire filled his heart. No matter what, he had to bring Senior Sister and everyone out of here.

In an instant, a thought struck his mind like a bolt of lightning.

Lu Qian’s eyes lit up, just as he was about to attempt it, Wang Yu suddenly let out a muffled groan; his dark eyes showed signs of pain.

His figure flickered and disappeared!

Unexpectedly, Meng Chi True Monarch skipped Lu Qian and attacked Wang Yu, who was behind Lu Qian!

”Senior Brother Wang!” Lu Qian shouted, clapping his hands together, ready to act. But at that moment, he felt a sharp pain all over, and the whole world popped like a bubble, bursting instantly!
