Chapter 87: Leaving?

"Illusion!"

At this moment, Chen Hong finally understood that she had just fallen for this guy's illusion technique.

Initially, the reason she hadn't suspected it was an illusion was entirely based on her understanding of Li Yunshu.

She was very clear about his level of illusion techniques; it was impossible for him to trap her in an illusion.

But now she had to admit a fact: she, an expert in illusions, had just been tricked.

"The illusory spirit flower is actually so miraculous!"

She immediately guessed that the significant change was related to the illusory spirit flower.

After all, he had only obtained the illusory spirit flower an hour ago, and his illusion techniques had already improved to another level; there could only be this explanation.

Li Yunshu didn't deny it, a hint of emotion in his voice.

"It's not easy to make you fall into an illusion."

He had already Cultivated the Illusory God Technique from self-illusion to illuding others.

Next was turning the real into false.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, wondering when he would achieve Major Achievement and enter the Realm of turning the false into real.

If he reached that point, perhaps he could verify how his Master achieved Ascension.

"Alright, you continue to guard. I'll refine the remaining demon core."

The Empress had given him a Demon Refining Art, which was perfect for refining demon cores and converting their power for his own use.

Coupled with the Eternal Night Calamity, his Cultivation in the Holy Land was like a fish in water.

Li Yunshu had only just entered the Red-Clothed Vengeful Spirit's space for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea when Chen Hong suddenly burst in.

"Wake up quickly, something's wrong outside!"

At this moment, Li Yunshu's refinement of the demon core was nearing its end.

He didn't act rashly but instead sped up the refinement.

After only a few breaths, he immediately opened his eyes.

One demon core had brought him to the verge of Breakthrough to the sixth layer of the Golden Core Realm.

However, now was clearly not a good time for a Breakthrough.

"What's wrong?"

In the Sword Sect Holy Land, there shouldn't be anything that would make Chen Hong so nervous.

"The Formation Plates you set up earlier have been activated, and now the entire Sword Sect Holy Land is enveloped by a Formation."

Hearing this, Li Yunshu immediately exited the space.

And in the Holy Land, the entire sky was already shrouded in a faint golden light.

He looked up and around, muttering.

"Bai Lang has already activated the Formation Plate."

The situation was unclear, so he immediately took out his communication jade slip with Bai Lang to check.

After all, once the Formation Plate was activated, it meant that the opportunity for Ascension was very likely to appear.

At this time, he had to be with Bai Lang.

Otherwise, he might miss the chance to obtain the opportunity for Ascension.

Although Bai Lang had said that he would share the secret of Ascension with him once he obtained it.

But who knew what the secret of Ascension specifically was? If it was something that couldn't be shared, then what?

At this point, he had to prepare for the worst.

"[Come quickly to the cave where we first met.]"

Opening the jade slip, Bai Lang had actually already replied to him.

However, he had been refining the illusory spirit flower just now, so he hadn't noticed Bai Lang's reply immediately.

"Go!"

At this time, the grand Formation had already opened, and Li Yunshu didn't care about anything else, immediately rushing to the cave where the two of them first met.

Halfway there.

The golden light in the sky became increasingly dazzling, and then the sky seemed to be torn open.

Li Yunshu couldn't help but frown slightly, watching the growing opening as he hurried on his way.

Because he could actually see the scene outside the Holy Land.

The Sword Sect Holy Land itself was an independent Small World. Although it was connected to the Sword Sect, it only had one entrance, the Sword Sect Valley.

And that entrance was also protected by a powerful Formation, precisely to prevent the Devilish Qi within the Holy Land from leaking out, and also to prevent the demonic corpses within the Holy Land from escaping.

But now, the torn sky in the sky seemed to have established another connecting passage between the Holy Land and the Sword Sect.

Because he actually saw the Elders of the Sword Sect flying towards the Holy Land.

At the same time, the Devilish Qi within the Holy Land already showed a tendency to spread.

He immediately affixed a demon-avoiding talisman to himself, pretending to be a normal Sword Sect Disciple.

"What's going on!"

The sudden connection between two independent spaces caught him off guard.

He had just killed Wei Chong and the other two under everyone's watchful eyes. If their Master entered the Holy Land at this time, and someone reported it... Thinking of this, Li Yunshu immediately turned his gaze to a Sword Sect Disciple nearby who was currently shocked by the grand Formation before him.

Noticing his approach, the Disciple didn't have much guard.

"Senior Brother Lin!"

However, as soon as he spoke, he fell into the illusion created by Li Yunshu.

With the Illusory God Technique Cultivated to the second layer, his actions became much more convenient; he avoided acting whenever possible.

A drop of essence blood flew from the Disciple's forehead and landed on Li Yunshu's mask.

As the Thousand Faces absorbed that drop of essence blood, his figure and appearance rapidly changed.

The situation was unclear at the moment, so he dared not linger too long, circulating the spiritual Qi within his body to its maximum and continuing on his way.

Finally, Chen Hong couldn't bear to watch any longer and directly lifted him by his collar, continuing to fly through the air.

"The wind is getting strong, let's pull back. Don't try to be brave."

It must be said that Chen Hong's speed was much faster than his, a Golden Core Realm Cultivator.

The two quickly arrived at the cave where they had agreed to meet Bai Lang, who was standing at the entrance waiting for him.

"What exactly is going on?" Before even landing, Li Yunshu asked the question in his heart, "Why has the Holy Land established a connection with the Sword Sect?"

Although he had changed his appearance, the moment Bai Lang saw Chen Hong, he immediately understood his identity.

Bai Lang began to explain.

"Once the opportunity for Ascension in the Sword Sect Holy Land appears, the passage between the two worlds will be completely opened, with no more restrictions.

That is to say, even Cultivators above the Nascent Soul Realm can enter this place."

Li Yunshu's eyes flickered. If the two worlds were independent and the opportunity for Ascension appeared, he would still have the confidence to compete for it.

But if it was like this, with the Sword Sect Master here, would it still be his turn?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed that he hadn't asked the Empress for a communication jade slip when he came.

If he had a communication jade slip, notifying the Empress to come now might still be in time.

Seeing Bai Lang's calm and even ambitious expression, he tentatively asked.

"You have a backup plan?"

In the face of the Sword Sect's entire power, he couldn't understand why Bai Lang could still be so calm and composed, as if the opportunity for Ascension was completely within his grasp.

Bai Lang shook his head.

"Brother Li, do you trust me?"

"Of course, I trust you."

Li Yunshu answered without the slightest hesitation; even if he didn't believe him, he couldn't say it aloud.

Bai Lang said solemnly.

"If you trust me, then leave here immediately."

"Leaving?"
