Chapter 469: Card Master Weak Illusion
Advancing to level six might be a hurdle for others, but for Yu Cang, it is not as difficult as imagined.
He had actually been staying at the peak of level five for a long time, and his accumulation was sufficient, and he only needed the final touch.
Although this breakthrough seemed to be a natural outcome, Yu Cang actually didn't know that he would break through at this moment.
However, the unknown battle pressure in front of him finally broke through his already thin bottleneck - after all, there is a legend outside who has fallen into madness, and the danger is self-evident.
Therefore, the moment Cui Jun raised his level, he suddenly realized this - he seemed to be able to break through.
Then let’s break through.
It seems casual, but it’s hard to say if you miss this opportunity.
From this point of view, Yu Cang also wants to thank Cui Zhun for his "advice".
As he walked out of the Water Shelter Palace, the dragon above him suddenly called out to Yu Cang:
"Wait, where are you going?"
He lowered his head.
"It's very dangerous outside now...Humans, wait for the unrest to end in the Water Shelter Palace."
Yu Cang stopped.
This real dragon blocked his way, and his tone seemed gentle but was actually unquestionable. It seemed that he would not let him go out easily.
That's right... What is happening now is a rebellion of spirit beasts, it is the spirit beasts' own business. If humans die at this time, then the spirit beasts will definitely not suffer any consequences.
So they must be thinking about protecting themselves and Cui Jun.
"Can the Dragon Palace guarantee an end to the unrest?" Yu Cang looked at the true dragon spirit beast. "The one who is now in a frenzy is your myth."
True Dragon: "...then you, a level five..."
The words came to his lips, but he swallowed them back and blinked.
Hmm? What's going on?
Wasn't I level 5 when I went in just now? How come I'm suddenly level 6 after coming out?
With such a high level of Kung Fu, he achieved a breakthrough? It couldn't be that I, Old Dragon, was just mistaken in my memory.
...Never mind, there's not much difference.
In short, it is too dangerous for Yu Cang to run around in the Dragon Palace at this time.
He knew the status of Tianmen, and naturally knew the existence of the young people who could enter it.
It can be said that if nothing unexpected happens, whether it is Cui Zhun or Yu Cang, they will basically become guardians of the country or high-ranking officials in the future.
This is also the reason why the Dragon Palace would hold a grand banquet even if it was only for one person.
The Yan Kingdom is now at its peak. They may not need the power of the Dragon Palace, but the spiritual beasts really need the protection of the Yan Kingdom.
They must ensure Yu Cang's safety!
Thinking of this, the True Dragon continued:
"...Then you, a level six soul card master, can't change anything."
Yu Cang looked at the real dragon and suddenly asked, "Do you know who your opponent is?"
"...You know?"
Yu Cang's expression turned serious. "It's the contaminated 'Emperor Wu's Seal'."
"What?!" Zhenlong exclaimed in surprise, and then, a greater doubt flashed in his eyes: "What is that?"
Yu Cang: "..."
It turned out to be an illiterate dragon.
But it is normal. After all, even in Yan Country, the Emperor Wu's Seal is a legendary thing.
So, he explained: "It is the mythical soul card of the former Yan Kingdom legend 'Wu Tianzi'. You should know what this means, right?"
The doubt in the True Dragon's eyes grew even heavier: "What does it mean? If it's a myth, you can't go out!"
"..." Yu Cang sighed, "When Emperor Wu formed the Xuanhuang Guard, he borrowed the power of spirit beasts. A king like him would naturally not allow such a powerful force to have the possibility of rebellion. Therefore, the Emperor's Seal may contain the power that can absolutely control the spirit beasts—
"In other words, if the spirit beast relies on itself, it will be unable to resist. Even if it is your myth, it will not be able to struggle for long. By the time it is completely controlled, can this Water Refuge Palace withstand the invasion of the myth?"
"What? Is that so?" The True Dragon was horrified, but then he said, "However, Ling'e is guarding the outside of Tianmen. It won't take him long to find out what's happening here. When humans come to support us, there will be no danger. You'd better not take any risks."
"If we were discovered, how could no one have come after all this time?" Yu Cang was speechless. "The enemy has obviously been planning this for a long time. Now Ling'e Zhenguo is also caught up in a tough battle outside and can't spare any time. In other words, we have no choice but to rely on us..."
"Believe me, if I dare to go, I must be confident. No matter how bad the situation is, I won't die there."
Yu Cang understood it.
This real dragon has a bit of a brain problem.
A sentence needs to be explained several times before he can understand it...Are all spiritual beasts so simple?
"Hiss..." The real dragon took a breath, as if finally realizing the seriousness of the problem. "Then you go... No, you can't go alone. Wait, I'll call someone to protect you."
Yu Cang sighed again: "Okay, hurry up."
This real dragon is quite powerful. If he wanted to stop Yu Cang, he would have turned around and left long ago.
The real dragon raised its head and let out a loud and penetrating dragon roar. The sound quickly swept into the distance. Not long after, a figure came rushing from a distance.
"What happened?" Ao Wu's eyes were as big as copper bells. As soon as he appeared on the scene, he looked around, as if trying to find where the enemy was.
At this time, Ao Wu's body was covered in blood. It seemed that the battlefield ahead was indeed fierce. He had just separated from Yu Cang not long ago, and the battle had already reached this point.
"Elder, where is the enemy?"
"There are no enemies." Zhenlong said sternly, "Take Yu Cang to the battlefield immediately! From now on, follow his orders!"
"What?" Ao Wu's eyes widened. "No, it's too dangerous outside now!"
"Listen to my explanation." Zhenlong swallowed his saliva, "It's like this... Ababa Ababa..."
"ah?"
“That way, that way…”
"hiss……"
“This way…”
"Okay."
"So without further ado!"
"Well... okay!" Ao Wu gritted his teeth, "Yu Cang, come with me... Remember not to leave my side!"
Yu Cang: "..."
Looking at the dragon and the dragon-man in front of him communicating tensely with serious faces, he was inexplicably silent.
He had to remain silent, otherwise he was afraid he would laugh out loud.
Although it may not be authentic to say this, but they are both so serious... why do they look so fierce?
No, you spirit beasts think that a little effeminate man like Ao Xiang will tarnish the image of the dragon clan... so this kind of thing won't happen, right?
Or are we guys pretending to be foolish in front of him, because we are afraid that if we appear too smart, humans will be afraid of us?
……never mind.
Anyway, the result is good.
Thinking of this, Yu Cang took a deep breath and followed Ao Wu to the battlefield.
…
Zixu Lake
Wang Wu is a member of the Desolate Sect who has been lurking in the imperial capital for many years.
He does not have the talent of a soul card master. Even if he practices hard, he can only reach level four at most. With a lot of rare treasures, he may be able to break through to level five in middle age, but it will be difficult after that.
He had no money to search for rare treasures, and no one would teach him how to practice, so the real result was that he would live a mediocre life and die as a second-level or even first-level soul card master.
But he was unwilling to give up.
He had longed to become a Soul Card Master since he was a child, and he would not allow his life to be so dull, so... he chose to touch the taboo and become a Forbidden Card Master!
Later, he learned that his encounter with his banned card mentor that day wasn't a coincidence—his mentality had long been a target of the Desolate Sect. But it didn't matter; he was satisfied with the result, so the rest didn't matter.
However, although the card banner only needs to pay a small price to ignore the shackles of talent, but... after all, he still cannot become infinitely stronger.
After barely breaking through to level seven, he felt that the potential in his body had been completely exhausted. No matter how much he asked for, he could not go any further... He was still unwilling to give up!
Why, he has put in efforts far beyond those of ordinary soul card masters, why can't he become a national guardian!
He killed his mentor, made him his banned card, replaced his position in the Desolate Sect, and became an important secret line of the sect in the imperial capital. He had done everything he could to the best of his ability, and finally, he waited for an opportunity.
As long as this mission is completed, he can go to the headquarters of the Desolate Sect! The holy land of the card banner!
There was definitely an opportunity there that would allow him to take a step forward! He firmly believed it!
Does the mission involve a guardian of the nation? It doesn't matter. Sooner or later, I will become such a person. It doesn't matter if I face it sooner or later!
Ah... the final goal is the legendary Heaven's Gate? Even more interesting... He was extremely excited when he thought about that pure secret realm that he would never be able to enter even if he lived ten more lifetimes, and that would be stained with all kinds of filth by his hands!
Great! Before becoming a guardian of the country, I can do something big in Yan Country! As a card banner!
Wuhu, let’s go!
Finally the day arrived and the sect's plan went smoothly, but he was very dissatisfied.
What's the point of making these plans! They, the card banners, should be people with no taboos. Just rush forward and kill that Ling E, and that's it!
Even if Ling E was very strong, they had so many strange banned cards in their hands. If he failed to defend against any of them, he would be dead for sure! This was the confidence of a card banner!
Of course, a lot of card banners will die in the process... so what?
It’s definitely not him who died!
Ah...even if it was him, he wouldn't die!
The card banner is immortal! This is how powerful he is, far surpassing the ordinary soul card masters!
However, since it is an order from the sect after all, I'd better just listen to it.
Finally, finally! It's finally time to fight!
Ice? No matter. The frozen lake surface would just make it easier for him to move forward!
Damn it! How dare a level 6 card banner rush in front of me? I'll remember you! Just wait to become my banned card!
Hmm? What's that light?
Like a rainbow, so clean...it must be dirty!
However, just when Wang Wu's eyes turned bloodshot and he was about to kill everyone, the sound of mirrors shattering came from all directions. He felt his body suddenly sink and a sense of weightlessness came suddenly. The people around him kept moving away. In the blink of an eye, he was the only one left in the world.
Huh? What?
He looked around in confusion.
What about others?
Never mind, let’s enter the Lingxiao Tower first.
Wang Wu took a step forward, but the Lingxiao Tower, which was so close to him, did not get closer, but became even farther away from him!
What?
Wang Wu was stunned, and a sense of anger rose in his heart for no reason. He suddenly started running, like a wild beast galloping on the ice, but every step he took was like the previous one, making Lingxiao Tower farther and farther away from his sight. In the blink of an eye, it was almost out of sight.
The sound of shattering mirrors kept coming to his ears, as if countless mirrors had been shattered. The surrounding ice surface was constantly being cut and moved as he ran, but he seemed not to notice any of it.
"Ha ha……"
Wang Wu stopped and breathed deeply. He finally realized that something was wrong.
"Illusion... Damn it, it's an illusion! Damn it!"
Because of the existence of the Soul Energy Well, the effect of illusion on soul card masters is not obvious.
But... for card banners, it is extremely effective!
The card banner's soul energy well had long been broken and tattered, allowing illusions to penetrate easily.
Of course, no matter what, the Soul Energy Well does exist. As long as the card banners stay calm, it will not be difficult to break the illusion. However... it is obviously difficult for the card banners to calm down given their mental state.
Just like now, in a flash, Wang Wu had no idea which level of the illusion space he had reached.
Now, the surrounding ice layers are cut irregularly, some rising, some falling...even the sky and the earth are upside down here, a scene that only appears in dreams.
"Damn it! Who is it? Come out if you dare!"
Wang Wu roared in anger, veins popping out on his forehead, but his movements seemed impotent and furious, unable to have the slightest effect on the illusion around him.
"Don't let me find you..."
Wang Wu stretched out his hand, and a scarlet soul card appeared at his fingertips.
"Come out...my beloved mentor..."
Click!
Wang Wu held the scarlet soul card in his palm and squeezed it gently. The soul card shattered instantly, but the scarlet debris condensed in the air and did not disperse. Finally, it turned into a woman in red.
The woman's skin was pale, with only her lips and clothes being noticeably scarlet. Her eyes were cold and somewhat dull.
Her hand was held in Wang Wu's hand - the one holding the soul card.
"Come on, mentor." A ferocious smile appeared on Wang Wu's face. "It's been a while since we last met... Let's dance..."
"OK."
A voice came.
Wang Wu was about to step forward and hold his mentor's arm as he had done before, but at this moment, his body suddenly froze in place.
What...who is talking!
It was the instructor's voice, but after she was made a banned card, she clearly no longer had the ability to speak!
Moreover, the sound came from... behind!
The hairs on Wang Wu's back stood up, he quickly turned around and saw a horrifying scene.
Behind him, there was a woman standing... She was wearing ordinary clothes and looked like an ordinary teacher, but she had a face exactly like his!
How is this possible! I killed my mentor a long time ago!
In panic, Wang Wu took a few steps back. Only then did he realize that the forbidden card he summoned had actually been out of his control for a long time!
“How could it be… How could it be!”
The woman who suddenly appeared walked slowly to the front of the woman in red, stretched out her slender jade fingers, and touched her own face, which was pale and dull.
A smile appeared on the woman's face.
"Xiao Wuzi...it seems that you have taken good care of my health over the years."
Plop!
Wang Wu fell to the ground, his eyes trembling and cold sweat on his forehead.
"Hallucinations...it's all hallucinations...it must be a hallucination!"
