He realized that he was no match for the person in front of him in this illusion, but since it was an illusion, Xiao Yuhan was not afraid at all. He just wanted to find a way to wake himself up, as if he were dreaming.

However, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation. He tried leaving a mark on his palm and found that he could indeed feel the pain. Xiao Yuhan became even more puzzled.

At this moment, "Bai Yao" said, "Xiao Yuhan, my illusion techniques are different. If you try to wake yourself up by self-harm, it won't work. The injuries you suffer in this world will affect your mind and soul. If you die here, your soul will be damaged..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Yuhan let out a soft snort and silently prayed in his mind, "System! System! Save me quickly! Is there any way to wake me up!"

However, Xiao Yuhan then realized that he could no longer establish a connection with the system. He immediately said that he was at a loss for what to do, so he tried to negotiate again: "What do you want?"

“I want you dead, but before that, I am very interested in you. According to the intelligence I have gathered, two or three years ago you were only at the seventh level of the Nascent Soul Realm, but now you are at the ninth level of the Void Return Realm. In less than three years, your strength has advanced by leaps and bounds. How can I not be interested?”

Xiao Yuhan stood there, stunned. Since there was no other way, he might as well stall for time. He was almost certain that his true body was still in the room. In that case, he could only hope that someone would notice his abnormality.

So he continued, "Who are you? You have the strength to trap me in this illusion, you can't be some nobody, can you?"

"Heh, my name is Lin Yuan, Xiao Yuhan, prepare to die!"

Suddenly, Xiao Yuhan felt a wave of discomfort, and the world around him began to collapse. The "Bai Yao" was stunned, seemingly surprised, and immediately said, "How is this possible? How could someone break my illusion?"

Xiao Yuhan's mind was instantly pulled back to reality, only to find himself asleep in a chair. At this moment, Bai Yao was staring at him with a worried expression. Xiao Yuhan was a little confused, but he was certain that Bai Yao had saved him, so he immediately said, "Yao'er, what are you doing here?"

Bai Yao said with great concern, "I was a little scared. I woke up in the middle of the night and found that Master was not there, so I came to check. I found Master talking to himself with his eyes closed in the room, so I was a little worried. When I checked, I found that Master's breathing was disordered and his spiritual energy was running around in his body. That's when I thought of using silver needles to regulate you."

Xiao Yuhan then remembered what had happened earlier, so he quickly got up and used his spiritual power to search his surroundings. After carefully searching around, he found no trace of enemies, and then asked with deep doubt, "Yao'er, did you notice anything unusual today?"

Bai Yao shook her head. "It's nothing, it's just that something seems off on the streets outside. There are a lot more wandering ghosts and spirits."

Xiao Yuhan walked to the window and saw that there were indeed many wandering spirits on the street. However, those spirits did not seem to be malevolent spirits. Seeing this, Xiao Yuhan felt uneasy. After all, the person who had used the illusion to deal with her must have had some extraordinary methods.

At this moment, Bai Yao suddenly hugged Xiao Yuhan in fear and whispered, "Master, Yao'er is scared..."

Xiao Yuhan felt a little strange. "Yao'er, don't be afraid... Go and wake up your junior uncles first, and we'll go out and investigate."

Bai Yao blinked, her eyes brimming with tears, and tightened her grip on Xiao Yuhan. Xiao Yuhan looked down and saw Bai Yao staring up at him, her appearance pitiful to behold.

"Master... could you stay with Yao'er? Yao'er is really scared..."

Xiao Yuhan felt somewhat helpless, but he also felt a little uncomfortable. After all, Yao'er was too close to him, and the way she was hugging him was really inappropriate. The Bai Yao in front of him was no longer the reserved Yao'er of the past, which made Xiao Yuhan very uncomfortable. His expression changed immediately and he said, "Yao'er... what's wrong with you today?"
