149: Make the fake become real!

Chapter 149: Turning the False into Reality!

Outside the Seventh Demon Palace.

With the help of a hidden Magic Treasure, Pei Ji and Xuan Yin hid in mid-air, carefully observing every movement inside.

Looking at Di Po kneeling on the ground, Pei Ji's tone carried a hint of excitement.

"Although I know doing this is a bit dangerous, it feels so good!"

Despite worrying about his daughter getting involved with that Lord, seeing Di Po frustrated inexplicably made him feel relieved.

Xuan Yin, beside him, felt much the same, though one worried about being noticed by Gu Ruoyan, and the other by Wei Sheng Xian Ji.

When Xuan Yin saw Pei Xuanji return to the main entrance alone, she showed a trace of doubt.

"Where is that Lord?"

"Someone's here!"

Seemingly noticing something, Pei Ji suddenly turned his head to look at the distance; a woman in a black dress appeared in mid-air.

After clearly seeing who it was, Xuan Yin's heart sank.

"Gu Ruoyan!"

"What are you afraid of? She's definitely not that Lord's opponent."

Facing Pei Ji's nonchalance, Xuan Yin was anxious but had no way to express her worries.

What she feared most right now was encountering Gu Ruoyan. She had thought that even if Gu Ruoyan received the news, it would take time for her to travel from the Bilin Demon Realm to the Yongsi Demon Realm.

By then, Li Yunshu might have already left the Demon Realm.

She never expected the other party to appear here so quickly.

Just as she was pondering a countermeasure, Gu Ruoyan sensed something amiss, frowned, and turned to look.

"Hiding your head and showing your tail."

As a huge black skeleton floated over, Pei Ji and Xuan Yin simultaneously struck with all their might.

Bang!

A massive ripple swept through the white clouds in the sky, clearing it of all clouds in an instant.

At the same time, Pei Ji and Xuan Yin in the air also revealed themselves.

Seeing that it wasn't the person she was looking for, Gu Ruoyan didn't bother with the two; she only wanted to find Li Xingci now to avenge the past.

Gu Ruoyan's gaze swept across the Seventh Demon Palace and quickly landed on Di Po kneeling on the ground.

"Where is Li Xingci?"

Di Po pointed towards the depths of the Seventh Demon Palace.

"That L-he just now and Pei Xuanji—" She turned around and saw Pei Xuanji standing not far away, "He was just with Pei Xuanji."

At this moment, everyone's gaze simultaneously fell on Pei Xuanji, who was standing still.

Even with Gu Ruoyan's arrival, Di Po didn't dare to stand up.

However, her heart was filled with the satisfaction of successful revenge.

She had originally worried that Gu Ruoyan wouldn't make it in time, allowing that Lord to escape.

Then she wouldn't get to see this good show.

Who would have thought that Gu Ruoyan was already in the Yongsi Demon Realm?

Hmph!

Pei Xuanji, let's see how smug you can be. You'll get what's coming to you soon.

Gu Ruoyan followed the direction of Di Po's finger and looked at Pei Xuanji.

"Where is Li Xingci?"

Facing the immense pressure, Pei Xuanji's face paled.

"I don't know where he went either."

At this moment, she was somewhat relieved that Li Yunshu was nowhere to be found.

Otherwise, encountering Gu Ruoyan would surely mean death.

How could Di Po let this opportunity pass? She immediately fanned the flames from the side.

"He clearly followed you into the Seventh Demon Palace just now. So many people saw it. And now you say you don't know?"

"I just entered the abyss, and when I came out, he was gone."

Pei Xuanji did not hide anything; after all, she truly didn't know where that fellow had gone.

Gu Ruoyan's figure flickered, landing beside Pei Xuanji.

"What is your relationship with him?"

Xuan Yin's heart tightened, and she immediately shielded her daughter.

"You are a Lord; there's no need to trouble a junior, is there?"

Before Pei Xuanji could speak, Di Po interjected from the side.

"She is that person's maid. That person said it himself."

Gu Ruoyan scrutinized Pei Xuanji, then snorted coldly, her tone full of disdain.

"Heh—a maid? Do you even qualify?"

Pei Xuanji's jade hand clenched, but she did not retort.

She was not the opponent of the other party; anything she said would be futile and might even implicate her parents.

As long as Li Yunshu couldn't be found, the other party would naturally leave.

Gu Ruoyan had waited so many years and naturally wouldn't leave easily.

She looked around, her Divine Sense spreading, but she didn't find the person she was looking for.

"Li Xingci, get out here!"

"Since you're here, why are you hiding from me?"

"After so many years, I didn't expect you to become a cowardly turtle!"

Her voice, imbued with demonic power, echoed throughout the Seventh Demon Palace.

After a long while.

Seeing no response, Gu Ruoyan's gaze once again fell on Pei Xuanji.

"If you don't come out, I'll kill your maid first!"

Upon hearing this, Pei Ji was the first to act, launching a scarlet Talismanic Incantation, then immediately pulling his wife and daughter back, retreating rapidly.

"Run!"

However, that Talisman did not unleash its power but instead hung motionless in mid-air.

As Gu Ruoyan took a step, a massive light array unfolded from beneath her feet, almost covering the entire Seventh Demon Palace.

Within the light array, Pei Xuanji felt herself unable to move.

Domain!

Every Lord possesses their own Domain. Within the opponent's Domain, not only will one's demonic power be suppressed, but one will also be affected by the Domain.

Evidently, the Fourth Lord's Domain restricts the movements of others.

At the same time, although Xuan Yin and Pei Ji could still move, their movements were very slight.

If one didn't perceive them with Divine Sense, one wouldn't even notice they were moving.

Gu Ruoyan raised her jade hand, her finger transforming into a long sword of demonic power, its tip pointing directly at Pei Xuanji's heart.

"Li Xingci, if you don't come out, I'll slaughter your maid! I'll count to three!"

Pei Xuanji's peripheral vision watched the black long sword, her heart rate quickening slightly.

Before death, not getting to see that fellow one last time, she still felt some regret.

Now that she thought about it, she was somewhat relieved.

Relieved that she had died once in the Li Huo Secret Realm, and everything that needed to be said had already been said to that fellow.

Now reunited with her parents, her last wish was also fulfilled.

If she died, that fellow would probably be sad, right?

After all, he was a fool who didn't even care about his life to save her.

If she died, would that fellow still look for other women?

She almost forgot, she had given him a Medicinal Pill, so even if he had the intention, he wouldn't have the ability.

Li Yunshu... I regret it.

If I hadn't fallen in love with you, perhaps you could still live well.

Xuan Yin was filled with regret. How could she have agreed to her daughter's crazy idea?

Watching her daughter die beside her, yet powerless to do anything.

Within the Domain, she found that even if she cried, she couldn't shed tears.

Pei Ji's eyes were wide with fury. This was the gap between him and a Lord.

In front of the Fourth Lord, he could do nothing, which gave him the feeling that everyone below a Lord was like an ant.

At the same time, he mentally cursed Li Xingci's ancestors eighteen generations back.

What a damn Lord!

He brought his daughter to the Seventh Demon Palace, then ran off without a word.

Li Xingci!

Damn you!

Seeing that no one had come out yet, Gu Ruoyan thrust out the long sword in her hand.

However, the imagined piercing pain did not come.

Pei Xuanji's peripheral vision looked at Gu Ruoyan in front of her; the sword in her hand had actually disappeared.

Did she change her mind?

No!

The Empress quickly realized something was wrong, because Gu Ruoyan's expression showed a hint of surprise.

Staring at the vanished long sword, she suddenly thought of something.

That vanished Talisman, the vanished ice, and the vanished great saber... that fellow was back!

Gu Ruoyan's figure swayed slightly, then she looked up again, and a familiar man had appeared before her.

"You finally came out!"

Li Yunshu's eyes had completely turned black. Even now, the power within his Sea of Consciousness was still pouring out.

However, he could clearly feel that his understanding of the Illusory God Technique had deepened more than ever, even touching the threshold of turning the false into reality.

Moreover, with the aid of his powerful Divine Sense, he effortlessly turned that long sword, condensed from demonic power, from real to false.

All of this was thanks to the power of the Fifth Lord's Divine Sense.

He could tell that the woman in front of him was very strong; otherwise, she wouldn't be able to immobilize the Empress.

If it were in the past, facing such a powerful individual, his ability to turn the real into false would not have worked on them at all.

After all, facing such a powerful individual, the Divine Sense required to turn the real into false would be immense.

Looking at Li Yunshu who appeared before her, Pei Xuanji felt both happy and worried.

Happy that this fellow had finally returned safe and sound, but worried about how to face the murderous Gu Ruoyan?

She also realized that the enmity between Gu Ruoyan and that Lord ran deep.

Appearing before her at this time would only lead to death.

However, even if she wanted to tell him to leave quickly now, she couldn't.

However, upon hearing Li Yunshu speak, she suddenly realized something was amiss.

This fellow was also in the Domain, so why could he speak?

Wait, how did he appear in front of me just now?

If this Domain could restrict people's movements, then with Li Yunshu's Nascent Soul Stage cultivation, it would be impossible for him to enter this Domain.

Because once one stepped into this Domain, one would be affected by it.

Wanting to tear space and teleport was simply impossible.

At this moment, Gu Ruoyan also noticed something was wrong; the Li Xingci in front of her was too weak.

A Nascent Soul Stage Second Layer cultivation!

Upon closer inspection, she immediately discovered the anomaly.

Although she hadn't seen Li Xingci in many years, Li Xingci's appearance was deeply etched in her mind.

The person in front of her, though very similar to Li Xingci, was not Li Xingci.

"Who are you!"

Li Yunshu also understood that he had been seen through by the other party.

"Gu Ruoyan?"

A woman who could suppress his future father-in-law and mother-in-law to the point of immobility, he couldn't think of anyone else.

Furthermore, the person in front of him was also a Human Race member.

The only one who fit this description was the legendary Fourth Lord, Gu Ruoyan.

He had accidentally used demonic power in the abyss, so the Qi Concealing Pill had already lost its effect, making it easy to spot flaws.

Moreover, even with the Qi Concealing Pill, he was not that Lord after all, so there would naturally be some differences in appearance.

Perhaps those unfamiliar wouldn't notice, but it wasn't strange for Gu Ruoyan to recognize him.

After all, as Chu Feng said, how could this woman, who hated that Supreme God so much, mistake him?

Gu Ruoyan's eyes narrowed slightly. She found herself unable to see through the man in front of her.

Within her Domain, this person was surprisingly unaffected.

Moreover, he had just made the long sword in her hand disappear without a sound.

Although it was condensed from demonic power, a small Cultivator at the Nascent Soul Stage could not possibly do it.

This person resembled Li Xingci too much, so much so that she almost mistook him at first glance.

She looked at the few people in the Seventh Demon Palace, especially Di Po kneeling on the ground.

She seemed to understand something, then let out a cold laugh.

"I hate being deceived the most, and impersonating him, you deserve to die!"

Gu Ruoyan's oppressive aura surged out, suddenly applying pressure to this imposter.

However, strangely, the other party was completely unharmed.

Li Yunshu could clearly feel a powerful danger appearing on him, but when he believed that the pressure did not exist, it truly vanished.

Turning the real into false!

As his mind moved, Pei Xuanji, Pei Ji, and Xuan Yin behind him could also move.

Pei Ji pulled his wife and daughter back, then turned to escape this place of trouble.

When immortals fight, Mortals suffer.

If these two started fighting, they would be the only ones to suffer.

However, at this moment, how could Pei Xuanji leave?

She broke free from Pei Ji's hand and then remained in mid-air.

"Father, I want to stay."

Beside her, Xuan Yin also broke free from Pei Ji's hand.

"I'm not leaving either."

To be honest, at this moment, she even began to doubt if that person was truly that Lord.

After all, if he was just a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, how could he be unaffected within the Fourth Lord's Domain?

Under the Lord's pressure, to be completely unharmed, this was something a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator simply couldn't achieve.

So, her first thought was to suspect if her daughter was lying.

But looking at the worried expression on her daughter's face, it didn't seem fake.

Could it be that that Lord had even deceived her daughter?

But what did Gu Ruoyan's words just mean?

'I hate being deceived the most, and impersonating him, you deserve to die!'

Was her son-in-law an imposter?

Everything happening before her eyes had made her unable to distinguish what was real and what was fake.

She really wanted to ask what was going on, but with so many people present, she knew now was not the time to ask.

Pei Ji anxiously stomped his foot in the air, muttering.

"What can you two do here!"

He knew his daughter had fallen in love with that Lord, but he never expected her to be so deeply in love that she didn't even care about her life here.

Li Yunshu knew he had to act quickly, because the Divine Sense in his Sea of Consciousness was constantly leaking out.

Now, he might be able to leverage the power of the Fifth Lord's Divine Sense to unleash the power of the Illusory God Technique beyond its usual limits.

However, once too much Divine Sense leaked from his Sea of Consciousness, he would no longer be able to influence Gu Ruoyan.

But before that, he could deal with another person along the way.

Di Po, who had remained kneeling on the ground, watched the two people standing face to face in her peripheral vision.

'I hate being deceived the most, and impersonating him, you deserve to die!'

That sentence stirred up a storm in her heart.

She quickly caught the key word: impersonating!

So, the person in front of her was not the Supreme God; he was fake!

Colluding with others to impersonate that Lord, Pei Xuanji was doomed!

As this thought arose, she only felt her vision go black, and then she knew nothing more.

In the air, Pei Ji's jaw almost dropped to the ground.

Why did Di Po vanish into thin air just by that Lord looking at her?
