Chapter 151 Second-Grade Illusion Technique

Moments later, the hilltop had become a ghost town.

The place was filled with wandering ghosts, making the living extremely uncomfortable.

Jian Liuli asked, "How do we get out?"

Su Baichen said, "Following the flow of the earth's veins will lead us out, but I'm not sure if we'll be truly safe once we get out of this trap."

The Sword Sect members are skilled in combat, but they clearly don't think about things that require deep thought.

They couldn't help but look at them with questioning eyes—

Su Baichen explained, "Being able to set up such a large-scale trapping formation by relying on the terrain of the mountains is not something that ordinary forces can do—I'm afraid that to the real mastermind behind the scenes, these rogue cultivators and even demonic cultivators are just a knife."

"If we stay in the formation, we only need to face these swords, but if we leave the formation—we might be able to head south back to Liang, but we might also be intercepted by the real mastermind behind it all."

"If it's just a Nascent Soul cultivator, that's fine, but what if we encounter a Void Returning cultivator?"

"Besides, I think either no one will intercept us, or if someone does, it will most likely be a Void Returning cultivator."

"Since Su Xiangxiang has already taken the letter for help back for us, we might as well wait for rescue."

"If either Palace Master Kaiyang or my master can come, then everything will be fine."

The group of sword cultivators nodded silently, finding the analysis to be clear and insightful.

They simply settled down and stayed in the trap.

They even saw some demonic cultivators walking back and forth searching with a puzzled look on their faces, clearly trying to find them.

Unfortunately, these demonic cultivators alone cannot detect them.

But soon, something happened that made everyone's hearts tighten.

Two imposing demons arrived at this mountain peak.

One of them was wearing bone armor and had a large, powerful physique.

The other person was withered and thin, yet he held a banner that emitted black smoke and seemed to be filled with the wails of countless dead souls.

Wu Fengjian's gaze sharpened, and he transmitted his thoughts: "It is the White Bone Demon from White Bone Cave and the Sorrowful Heart Master from Youlao Mountain."

"Now that the two of them have come in person, Bai Chen's illusions are probably—"

All the disciples felt a chill run down their spines.

They had both heard of the reputations of these two peerless old devils.

Both the White Bone Demon and the Venerable Sorrowful Heart are ancient demons who have been active in the world for five hundred years, and their cultivation is estimated to have reached the Yang God realm.

However, there must be something wrong with their Yang Spirit, because they had already reached this realm two hundred years ago, yet we have never heard of them accomplishing anything in the Returning to Emptiness Realm.

The Sword Master Wufeng summoned Guanlan Sword Maiden and Feng Lingxu, and said earnestly, "Next, Lingxu and I will stop them together—Junior Sister Guanlan, the future of our Sword Sect and Changchun Palace is entrusted to you!"

Guanlan Jian's eyes reddened, but she gritted her teeth and said nothing.

She knew that at this time, someone had to take on the responsibility of protecting the legacy. Her elders had done so three hundred years ago, and now it was their turn.

Even her silence was because she had already mentally prepared herself.

The two senior brothers have simply gone ahead of us.

The atmosphere became solemn as the three first-generation disciples of the Sword Sect had made up their minds.

However, just when they are prepared to fight to the death, life always brings them some unexpected surprises.

Those two demonic giants walked past everyone so smoothly, even when they were almost face to face, they still didn't notice their presence!

At that moment, all three of them showed surprise.

Then they turned to look at Su Baichen—only this kid could pull off something like this.

Su Baichen smiled without showing his teeth, and said in a rather humble manner, "I didn't expect it either. After gathering the five elements in my chest, I gained some understanding of the existence of the world. Before I knew it, my illusion technique had officially entered the second grade."

The second-grade level of the Illusory Yin Eight Transformations is capable of turning the illusory into the real!

It evolved from "reality" to "truth," which is a high-level illusion that can even deceive divine senses.

The two demonic giants' brows gleamed, and they scanned back and forth with divine senses, but they found nothing.

It was obvious that they couldn't see through Su Baichen's illusion.

However, at this moment, Su Baichen also frowned slightly, and a look of weakness appeared on his face.

Wang Xingyuan quickly helped him up and asked, "Did you overexert yourself?"

Everyone could guess this. Such a powerful illusion, capable of even deceiving two peak Nascent Soul cultivators, could not have come without a price.

Su Baichen rubbed his forehead and said, "It is indeed very tiring, so I have a suggestion. I wonder if the three senior uncles would be willing to accept it?"

Guanlan Sword Granny seemed to have thought of something and said directly, "At a time like this, why are you still worried about these things? Just tell us quickly, what do you want us to do?"

Wu Fengjian and Feng Lingxu both nodded silently in agreement.

Su Baichen said, "While I can still maintain this illusion technique of 'transforming illusion into reality,' why don't we all gather our strength together and kill these two?"

"well?"

Everyone was a bit confused. Could this really be done?

Although this is very un-swordsmanlike, given the current situation where they were ambushed first, they shouldn't be blamed for launching a counter-ambush.

The Sword Master Wufeng nodded and said, "Very well, since that's the case—Bai Chen, continue to maintain the illusion. I will use the Azure Moon Clear Profound Sword to slay that Sorrowful Heart Venerable. I believe that the Azure Moon Clear Profound Sword's ability to cleanse evil spirits will be effective."

"The others will form a sword formation and together shatter the body of that old white-boned demon!"

Sword cultivators are known for their strong execution skills; after formulating a rough plan, they immediately began to carry it out.

Su Baichen's mental energy was greatly depleted, and just as he was about to reach his limit—

"alright!"

Everyone spoke up in unison.

At that very moment, Su Baichen dispelled the illusion.

At the same time, an incredibly thick and powerful sword aura shot out from the blade of the Sword Master Wufeng, silently arriving in front of the Venerable Aixin, illuminating the terror on his face clearly.

On the other side, the Sword Sect disciples operated their sword formation at full power, unleashing dozens of powerful sword energies that formed a dense barrage, completely enveloping the White Bone Demon.

Su Baichen still felt uneasy watching this scene, so he threw out the fox statue from his sleeve: "Quan, wait for the right opportunity to make your move."

The giant fox-beast's figure flashed by in an instant; it clearly possessed considerable illusionary skills, managing to conceal itself.

Before the Sword Master Wufeng, the Venerable Aixin waved the Myriad Souls Banner repeatedly, releasing myriad souls within it, attempting to block this terrifying sword strike.

But at this moment, the Sword Master Wufeng had already completed his power-gathering and was about to unleash a sword move of the "One Sword Can Break All Laws" level.

Not to mention that this Ai Xin Shangren is not a Void Returner, even Void Returner cultivators would not dare to face her directly.

The souls were utterly destroyed—they were completely annihilated.

There was no other way; once the sword was drawn, there was no time to worry about anything else.

Finally, the sword light pierced through the brow of the Venerable Sorrowful Heart.

But a yang deity who appeared to be covered in rust jumped out first.

This Yang Shen was far inferior to the Yang Shen of Kaiyang Zhenren and even Xuanyin Zhenren that Su Baichen had seen; it felt like a "defective product".

And its effect?

With a deft flick of his wrist and a flick of his finger, the sword light suddenly shot upwards and swept across the "Yang Shen" of the Venerable Ai Xin—and it exploded into a cloud of black and white spiritual energy.

On the other side, the White Bone Demon's body was also completely covered by the sword energy of the sword formation, taking the full damage.
