Leng Yan, the foremost genius of the cultivation world, a true favored child of heaven, was also known as the ice-cold beauty of the cultivation realm, with countless suitors. Due to a momentary wh...
Hearing that Leng Yan had finally woken up, the few people felt relieved. Then they saw a young eunuch come out and summon them in.
After they entered, they walked straight to the couch where Leng Yan was. At this time, Leng Yan was being held in the queen's arms without letting go.
Leng Yan was slightly stunned when he saw them, then asked, "Why are you here, my royal brothers and sisters?" They said worriedly, "How could we not come when you are in this state?"
As she spoke, her eyes turned red. Leng Yan felt exhausted and didn't want to talk.
Fortunately, the emperor also noticed her fatigue and said to them, "You go back first and come back after Yan'er has rested."
After hearing what the emperor said, several people had to leave. At this time, a eunuch came to report that the assassin's origin had been found.
Hearing this, Leng Yan looked at the Emperor and Empress and said, "Father, Emperor, and Empress, I am tired, so I will return to my palace to rest." The Empress said, "Your palace is too far away, you can stay here!"
Leng Yan said, "Mother, I'm used to my own bed and I can't sleep here." Seeing that Leng Yan insisted on going back, the queen had no choice but to ask someone to send Leng Yan back to her palace in a sedan chair, while they went to deal with the assassin.
Qingyu naturally followed him. When they returned to the palace, Leng Yan looked at Qingyu, without a trace of fatigue in her eyes. She said to Qingyu, "Qingyu, call them here, including the Prime Minister's son. Don't let them disturb the others."
Qingyu was stunned and asked, "Yan'er, has there been another way to get out?" Leng Yan didn't answer yes or no. Seeing this, Qingyu didn't ask any more questions.
After Qingyu left, Leng Yan took her own pulse and found that she only had three days left, but she couldn't wait three days.
In the evening, darkness enveloped the palace. Leng Yan sat on the bed and coughed softly from time to time, but there was no one at the palace gate as she had already sent them away.
She didn't light a lamp, and the hall was dark. Only the moonlight shone on her, making her face even paler.
Just then, a slight noise was heard in the hall. Leng Yan looked over there and her eyes met Qingyu who had just come in.
Then Leng Yan looked away and continued to wait for others.
After waiting for about half a cup of tea, everyone arrived. Seeing this, Leng Yan stood up, took the lantern placed beside the bed and lit it. The weak light of the lantern illuminated the way forward.
Leng Yan led a few people towards her bedroom. Finally, Leng Yan stopped in front of a wall. She groped the wall and finally found a loose place.
She walked to the side and said to a few people, "Pry this open." They looked at each other and finally Gong Cang was dragged away to do hard labor.
After prying it open, Leng Yan looked at the thing in the hole as if he was surprised, and the expressions of the other people were the same.
Inside the cave lay Leng Yan's Hanyue Sword and her hairband. They could understand why Leng Yan's Hanyue Sword was there, but why was the hairband also there? They all looked at Leng Yan for a moment. Leng Yan didn't seem to want to explain, so she took out the two items.
Then he pressed a protruding stone in the cave. As the wall in front of him began to tremble, a stone door slowly opened.
Several people walked in. The moment they entered, a chill hit them and Leng Yan started coughing violently.
Before Wen Shi and the others could say anything, Leng Yan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth nonchalantly and continued walking forward. As he went deeper, the coldness became more and more severe. Leng Yan began to cough continuously.
Seeing this, Wen Shi stopped Leng Yan and said, "Yan'er, wait here. We'll go and take you in after we've seen it."
Leng Yan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and laughed at himself: "It's really ironic that I, a cultivator with ice spirit roots, am afraid of the cold now."
The people on the side said nothing. Leng Yan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked at them with a smile on his face and said, "If you want to stop me, then I don't mind killing you too. After all, killing you is also a way to get out."
What she said was true. Minglan said that the more indifferent a person is, the deeper they fall. She thought about it for a few days and finally understood what it meant. That's why she kept reminding herself that this was an illusion and she must not fall into it. She also reminded Wen Shi and the others.
But it is obvious that several people are now trapped.
Finally, Leng Yan said word by word, "Remember, I am Leng Yan from the world of cultivation, and I am also the Fifth Princess of the Ming Kingdom, but I am definitely not the sickly Fifth Princess of the Daye Kingdom."
After saying this, he walked inside again, and the others followed him silently. After Leng Yan's reminder, they realized that they seemed to have truly forgotten that this was an illusion, an illusory world. All of this was fake!
Meanwhile, Minglan, watching this scene from the dilapidated temple, raised her lips slightly as she said, "You're truly lucid and alert! They're all about to get caught up in this. I didn't expect you to be so lucid. If they knew you practiced the Way of Mercilessness, I really don't know what they would do."
After she finished speaking, she laughed, a bit crazy. She had actually lied to Leng Yan. This illusion wouldn't have much of an impact on someone with a strong mind, but someone with a weak mind would be easily trapped.
Wen Shi and his companions were among the strongest warriors in the world of cultivation, and their minds were extremely resolute, but they were facing Leng Yan, so it was not surprising that they got caught up in it.
After all, the person they were obsessed with was Leng Yan. Suddenly, Minglan noticed that Qin Du had no sense of existence. She clicked on the picture in front of her and wondered who this person was and why he was following Leng Yan and the others.
Finally, she suppressed the doubts in her heart and continued to watch. She could only send people into this illusion, but she could not control or interfere with what happened inside.
In the illusion, Leng Yan brought a few people to an open place. When they approached, they noticed the fluctuation of spiritual power here and estimated that there must be a formation here.
Leng Yan asked several people to stand at the position she pointed, and finally walked towards the formation. After standing in the formation, Leng Yan took out the hairband and placed it on the ground. She didn't want to use this hairband unless it was absolutely necessary. But in the current situation, this was the only way.
Several people watched as Leng Yan placed the headband on the ground, then cut her palm and dripped blood onto the headband. The headband quickly absorbed the blood and began to glow. Then the headband flew up and flew towards Leng Yan, as if it was about to merge into her body.
Leng Yan grabbed her and suppressed her. Leng Yan took the opportunity to absorb the spiritual power in the hairband into her body, and after suppressing the restlessness of the hairband, she drew out the Hanyue Sword and injected spiritual power into the formation.
The spiritual power started to operate instantly, and they felt the ground shaking when the formation was running, but Leng Yan stared at the top of his head.
As expected, a blood-red formation slowly appeared. When the formation appeared, Leng Yan felt that the loss of spiritual power in his body began to accelerate.
Leng Yan grasped the sword, gathering spiritual energy within it. Finally, Leng Yan struck out with one strike. The sword's energy surged unstoppably towards the formation. When the sword energy collided with the formation, a massive wave of energy erupted. But then, the formation began to split in half, ultimately dissolving into tiny, scattered particles and vanishing completely.
Leng Yan ignored the few people who were lying on the ground and had not yet gotten up, and quickly disappeared from the spot.
The key to breaking out of this illusion lies in her, and she is about to take the final step.
