That was…

Many people found themselves ensnared within the illusion.

Some may have sensed its deceptive nature, while others believed they had escaped it, much like the Head of the Undead Race.

Those sects had acted impulsively, but Pei Yueling had displayed cunning foresight.

Could someone with a Chaotic Spiritual Root truly be capable of such manipulation?

Gu Chaoyan was well aware of the formidable challenge ahead.

“What should we do now?” inquired the Head of the Undead Race.

Gu Chaoyan fell into contemplative silence.

She understood that the situation was far from straightforward.

In Xuhai City, the Taiwu Illusion Pei Yueling had mastered was just one among many.

How would she resolve this issue?

She needed more time to find a solution.

“Just watch,” Gu Chaoyan declared, and she continued her exploration of the s.p.a.ce.

Hours turned into days as she delved into the books.

Within the tomes stored in this s.p.a.ce, numerous illusions were doc.u.mented, but only one held the key to a resolution.

The rest remained enigmatic.

What could be done?

Gu Chaoyan’s anxiety mounted.

“Why can’t you grasp it?” Huang Fu’s voice suddenly echoed in her ears.

“You’re back?” Gu Chaoyan exclaimed in surprise, but Huang Fu wore a disappointed expression.

“I’ll accompany you,” Huang Fu declared, then promptly exited the illusion.

Before Gu Chaoyan could fully grasp the situation, Huang Fu vanished. She followed suit, emerging from the illusion, but Huang Fu was nowhere in sight. Almost instantly, all the disciples from various schools surrounded her.

Had the illusion dissipated?

That was Gu Chaoyan’s initial thought.

As she comprehended the reality, Gu Chaoyan surmised that the illusion had indeed vanished, possibly due to Huang Fu’s a.s.sistance.

“What’s happening?” the Head of the Undead Race inquired, clearly perplexed.

“The illusion has dissipated,” Gu Chaoyan confirmed.

With that proclamation, Gu Chaoyan surveyed the scene more closely. Half of the disciples had succ.u.mbed to the illusion, and the remaining ones were in a state of distress. Elder Lin was conspicuously absent.

Only a few panicked disciples from the Supreme Sect remained.

“Pei Yueling, you fiend!” Accusations began to fly at Pei Yueling.

Originally, their mission in Xuhai City was to exterminate the Undead Race, but Pei Yueling had manipulated them. She had coveted their lives, and witnessing many of their comrades fall to her machinations had ignited their anger. Pei Yueling, however, appeared unfazed and even elated. “He’s here?” She could sense his presence.

Intuitively understanding the situation, Pei Yueling held these so-called disciples in disdain. She merrily pursued her target, leaving behind a trail of cursing disciples.

“It seems she’s gone to seek someone,” the Head of the Undead Race observed.

“Anyone can see that,” Gu Chaoyan retorted sharply.

Was she searching for Huang Fu because he had disrupted her illusion?

Gu Chaoyan suspected as much, though she couldn’t be certain.

However, at this moment…

The most pressing matter was to exit Xuhai City without delay.

Xuhai City was already firmly under Pei Yueling’s control. They were at a disadvantage here and needed to escape.

With this determination in mind, Gu Chaoyan exclaimed, “Lead us out of Xuhai City!”

Upon hearing these words, the disciples felt a renewed sense of resolve.

“What is that?!”
