"Senior, aren't you afraid of not being able to get out of this illusion by barging in like this?"

The ancient river opened its mouth as a reminder.

"That's right, Luo Chen, we're trapped in an illusion right now, so we've been stuck here. Now we're doomed, you've gotten in too!"

Mu Yingying broke free from his embrace, said in surprise, and sighed.

"An illusion? I don't see it."

Luo Chen glanced around; it was still the same deep forest. In fact, he knew that the Eye of Illusion was immune to illusions; he was just pretending to be stupid for that scheming man's benefit.

"Hehe, senior, are you joking? This whole area is just the illusion of that nine-tailed fox. Can't you see it?"

Guhe said with a cold laugh.

"Luo Chen, stop joking. It's really dangerous right now. You can drive however you want once we get out. The most important thing now is to find a way to break the illusion."

Mu Yingying looked around with a serious expression, showing no desire to joke with him.

“Nine-tailed fox? I did see it. She was the one who told me Mu Yingying was here, so I came here. How about I take you to find that nine-tailed fox and have her release you from the illusion?”

Luo Chen put on an innocent expression and said.

"..."

Gu He rolled his eyes, thinking to himself: If you weren't so strong, I would have beaten you to death, you idiot.

"Oh? Really? Luo Chen, you've encountered that nine-tailed divine fox? Then quickly take us to find her. As long as we find her, we can get out of the illusion."

Mu Yingying said with delight.

"Miss Yingying, you actually believe what he said!"

Gu He was speechless. How could you believe what he said?

"No, I believe what Luo Chen said."

Mu Yingying answered with a firm expression.

Guhe rolled his eyes and remained silent.

Beside him, Luo Chen's lips curled up slightly. "You little brat trying to steal my woman? You think I'm that useless protagonist from the original story?"

"If you don't believe me, stay here and don't move. Mu Yingying, let's go."

Luo Chen glanced at Gu He, turned around and took Mu Yingying's hand to leave, but Mu Yingying grabbed him.

"Luo Chen, Young Master Guhe saved my life. We can't just stand by and watch him die. Let's take him with us."

"Mu Yingying pleaded."

"Fine, for your sake, I'll give him a chance. Hey, are you leaving or not?"

Luo Chen looked up at Gu He and said in a somewhat casual tone.

Guhe flicked his sleeves and finally followed, muttering, "I want to see how you're going to get us out of here. Don't tell me you're just putting on an act."

"Just stay with me. If you keep babbling on, I'll throw you back. Don't forget, I'm your senior. You have no manners at all."

Luo Chen snorted coldly and began to lecture.

"You! Alright, alright, senior."

Gu He was about to get angry, but then he suddenly remembered that he had come out alone without bodyguards and couldn't beat Luo Chen, so he could only swallow his anger.

Luo Chen, who was walking ahead, naturally knew what kind of person Gu He was. He knew that Gu He had better not provoke him after they left, otherwise he wouldn't hesitate to wipe out the Gu family. After all, in the original story, Gu He had gotten together with Mu Yingying, and he was just worried about not having a chance to eliminate him completely.

The three walked through a thicket of bushes and came to another clearing. The nine-tailed fox and the black bear were still there. When they saw Luo Chen swaggering over with the two trapped people, they were so shocked that they forgot to run away.

"Luo Chen, you're amazing! You actually led us out of here!"

Mu Yingying looked at the nine-tailed fox and black bear in front of her and said with delight.

"This, this is impossible! How, how did you do that?!"

Gu He couldn't believe it; Luo Chen hadn't done anything, yet he had led them out of the illusion...

"It's just a small illusion, is it that difficult?"

Luo Chen countered with a dismissive question.

"Is it really that easy?"

Gu He was starting to have doubts about life. He had studied some formations, but Luo Chen, who looked younger than him, possessed greater strength and mastery of formations. He began to feel jealous and unbalanced.

"Big Bear, kill them all!"

The nine-tailed fox immediately ordered the black bear to attack the three.

roar!

The black bear roared and charged forward at high speed, its heavy footsteps shaking the void and causing the surrounding ground to tremble, creating an overwhelming sense of oppression.

"Luo Chen, I'll deal with this black bear."

Mu Yingying walked up to him, and the tenth-tier Thunder Shadow Heavenly Blade appeared. She lightly touched the void and quickly engaged in battle with the black bear.

"So you're called the Nine-Tailed Divine Fox, right?"

Luo Chen grinned mischievously and beckoned to the Nine-Tailed Divine Fox with his finger, saying, "Come here!"

"Can we skip that?"

The nine-tailed fox gave an awkward smile, knowing she was no match for Luo Chen, and answered cautiously.

"No, I'll give you three breaths. If you don't come over, I'll turn you into a tailless divine fox."

Luo Chen crossed his arms, his tone carrying a hint of threat, and the aura of a ninth-level God Emperor quietly spread out.

"Hey, hey, brother, don't do it, I'm coming."

The nine-tailed fox walked up to him with a fawning expression, placed her hands in front of her abdomen, and was very reserved, not daring to move.

"I'll give you a choice."

? ? ?

The nine-tailed fox looked up at Luo Chen and asked, "Just... just one?"

"Hmm, option one, I'll kill you."

Luo Chen continued seriously, "Choose."

"..."

The nine-tailed fox fell silent. Was this a multiple-choice question?

Ah~

The nine-tailed fox suddenly hissed, revealing its true form. Even its white fur could not conceal its ferocious and terrifying expression as it lunged at Gu He.

!!

Gu He's expression changed drastically. He hadn't expected the Nine-Tailed Divine Fox to bypass Luo Chen and suddenly attack him. He quickly unleashed all his divine power to defend himself, but with a difference of one great realm and no preparation, he was no match for it.

Bang!

puff!

The nine-tailed fox slapped Gu He away with one claw, spitting out a large amount of blood. He was seriously injured and his body rolled tens of thousands of miles away. For a moment, he was unable to stand up.

A moment later.

"Cough cough cough!"

Guhe choked on the blood, barely managing to stand up. He stared at the Nine-Tailed Divine Fox with a sullen look in his eyes, and sneered, "Nothing special!"

Ah~

Enraged, the nine-tailed fox lashed out with its nine tails and sped toward the ancient river.

Gu He, sitting opposite, snorted coldly, raised his hand, and took out a jade pendant from his storage ring. He crushed it without hesitation.

boom!

A terrifying pressure swept across the entire area, and the Nine-Tailed Divine Fox was forced to the ground, while Luo Chen calmly watched this scene.

"Father!"

"He'er, what happened?"

A middle-aged man's silhouette appeared in front of Gu He and asked with concern.

"Father, this nine-tailed fox is trying to kill me!"

Guhe pointed to the nine-tailed fox that had been flung away and said.

"Oh? A mere nine-tailed divine fox dares to act so presumptuously? Die!"

Bang!

With a casual slap, the middle-aged man crushed the nine-tailed fox, leaving no trace of its body, without even a scream.
