The face transformed into several tentacles, which then transformed into countless small knives, stabbing and prodding Ye Xingchen's body.
As he poked, he turned his head to look at Ye Xingchen's expression, seemingly observing Ye Xingchen's reaction.
However, Ye Xingchen's face remained expressionless, showing no emotion whatsoever, as if the knife had not been stabbed into him.
At first, the man with the disgruntled face didn't react when Ye Xingchen didn't respond, so he kept stabbing Ye Xingchen with a knife.
But later, it began to sense that something was wrong, because Ye Xingchen was acting too calmly.
His composure was so unbelievable that even he found it hard to believe.
He finally started to panic. He looked up, trying to steal a glance at Ye Xingchen.
However, his glance startled it, because his eyes met Ye Xingchen's. More importantly, even the confident creature couldn't help but shiver under Ye Xingchen's gaze.
It actually felt fear, so it stopped looking at Ye Xingchen and transformed into a blood-red dagger, stabbing Ye Xingchen repeatedly.
It is a phantom butterfly with immense self-confidence. It believes that no one can escape from its consciousness, not even the person in front of it who seems strong.
It stabbed Ye Xingchen more than a dozen times, then looked up at him again. But this one look made it uneasy.
Because Ye Xingchen remained expressionless, as if he hadn't stabbed the other person.
But it clearly conjured a knife and stabbed the other person repeatedly, so why was he completely unharmed? Has this world gone mad?
"You... how come you're alright?" Ji Die murmured. Her words were not human and could not be understood by ordinary people.
However, its words could strike straight to the heart. It communicated with Ye Xingchen on a spiritual level, so Ye Xingchen understood it instantly.
"Hehe, I didn't want to reply to you, but you seem to be somewhat different from others." Ye Xingchen laughed: "You are the Illusion Butterfly, like Nightmare, a product that exists outside of this world."
"Unlike Nightmare, you can not only bring people into dreams, but also into illusions."
"Moreover, the illusions you create are extremely powerful. Even people with strong mental strength cannot extricate themselves from the illusions you create."
"Then why were you able to react? Why?" Huan Die retorted, unconvinced.
Yes, it is a product that exists outside of this world; it can be said that it does not belong to any of the sentient beings in the Three Realms and Six Paths.
Many rules in this world are actually unable to constrain it.
It was transformed from a magical artifact in the Qing Dynasty palace and was later placed here by Na Yuanzhen to form an illusion array.
But why is Ye Xingchen so clear about its identity? And why is Ye Xingchen unaffected by it?
"Because you're completely fake." Ye Xingchen chuckled. "You and Nightmare are no different at all."
"If I had to point out a difference, I would say the biggest difference between you two is that you are a bit more confident than it."
“You are not among the beings of the Three Realms and Six Paths, yet you can influence people’s spirit and even their minds.”
"Unfortunately, these only work for ordinary people, and they don't have much effect on me."
"Why? Why doesn't it work for you? Aren't you human?" The Illusion Butterfly looked at Ye Xingchen angrily, unable to accept this fact.
It has always believed that it is outside the realm of sentient beings in the Three Realms and Six Paths, and that anyone in this world with consciousness and thought will be under its control.
However, Ye Xingchen was completely unaffected by her, which puzzled it greatly. At the same time, a chill ran down its spine, as if it realized that the person in front of it was not someone it could afford to provoke.
"Because my divine sense is different from that of my predecessors." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly, and suddenly, he stretched out his right hand in the air and directly grabbed the Illusion Butterfly.
The phantom butterfly's vital spot was seized, and it screamed in terror. Then it began to struggle desperately, trying to break free from Ye Xingchen.
However, Ye Xingchen simply reached out and grabbed at the air with his right hand, and it was firmly stuck there. No matter how much it struggled and screamed, or how much it tried to use its skills, it was no use.
Ye Xingchen seemed to be born to restrain it.
"Why...why is this happening?" the Illusion Butterfly screamed in terror. It cried out, "It shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this...I am outside the realm of sentient beings in the Three Realms and Six Paths, I could not possibly be controlled by you, it's impossible."
"You can only bully ordinary people." Ye Xingchen sneered. "What you're so proud of is nothing but a fart in my eyes."
"Unfortunately, you still think you're special. Everything you think you're superior about is nothing to me."
Ye Xingchen sneered, then grabbed the guy's neck and twisted it forcefully.
With a soft snap, a cloud of dust appeared before his eyes, then the guy's eyes widened, and he vanished without a trace in a puff of smoke.
Meanwhile, Ye Xingchen returned to his original villa.
Everything remained the same, except that the villa's gate was now open.
Without further hesitation, he slowly took a step forward.
After entering the villa, the door behind him clicked shut.
The interior of the villa in front of us was still in a state of disrepair.
Everything was dilapidated, and the furnishings were covered in dust, making it easy to believe that no one had lived here for a long time.
Ye Xingchen knew that things were definitely not as simple as he had imagined.
He slowly took a step forward and walked to the end of the hall, where, sure enough, another door appeared.
Without hesitation, he opened the door and went inside, where a long corridor stretched out before him.
He walked forward along the passage, and soon a huge space appeared before him.
Even though he was prepared, Ye Xingchen was still shocked by what he saw.
Behind the villa was a mountain, and Na Yuanzhen had hollowed out the entire mountain.
The magnificent architectural style exudes a royal and aristocratic air.
Just building this place would probably cost at least a billion dollars.
More importantly, this place is filled with antiques and paintings, exactly the furnishings of a study in an ancient nobleman's home.
Ye Xingchen smiled. It seemed that Na Yuanzhen really couldn't forget the glory of his ancestors.
No wonder this guy is so ambitious now; the power and wealth his family once possessed were truly unimaginable to ordinary people.
