Shen Sanruo's eyes were incredibly clear, without any naivety or confusion.
Completely different from its previous state, there was no trace of being affected by the illusion.
Her eyes seemed to see through everything, staring intently at the illusory consciousness.
A faint smile played on his lips as he slowly uttered a few words: "Trying to attack my soul? Your courage is commendable."
The last person who tried to harm her soul has now vanished without a trace.
If others knew that the consciousness of the illusion wanted to tear her soul apart, they would only think that the consciousness of the illusion was courting death.
It doesn't even consider whether its spiritual strength is something it can afford to provoke.
Luo Chu and Lu Shiqing, who were watching from outside the projection screen, almost burst into tears upon seeing this scene.
"That's great! That's great! Chen Sangri is alright!" Luo Chu exclaimed excitedly.
How could he forget that Shen Sanruo was so proficient in soul magic? Her soul magic was already at the top level in the cultivation world. How could a small illusion hurt her?
The illusion's consciousness finally realized, "You weren't controlled by my illusion at all! You were just faking it!"
The fact that she could grasp the illusory thing directly with her flesh and blood shows just how outrageous her spiritual strength is.
What a miscalculation!
“Not entirely.” Shen Sanru blinked, her smile beautiful. “My previous reaction was indeed caused by the illusion, but… it was intentional.”
Throughout the process, she maintained a sliver of consciousness, clearly aware that she was in a hallucination.
"Illusion is also a kind of soul magic. It creates illusions by influencing people's minds. Do you think your illusion can affect someone who is good at soul magic?" Shen Sangruo raised an eyebrow and asked.
The two people outside the projection froze, the illusion shattered once again; it turned out that all of this was a lie from the very beginning.
Luo Chu seemed to have long been accustomed to this process of falling from the peak to the bottom. This time, his reaction was not as strong as before, but the sense of loss in his heart was inevitable.
Lu Shiqing's eyes widened, his chest heaving violently, lost in thought, only the obsession in his eyes was so obvious.
Shen Sangruo was merely playing along, wanting to see what this illusion was really up to.
Doesn't this draw out the consciousness of the illusion?
But she felt that there should be another hand behind this illusionary consciousness, and she already had an idea in mind.
Shen Sangruo looked in a certain direction.
Luo Chu and Lu Shiqing only saw that Shen Sanruo's projection turned in their direction, as if it were looking at them from a distance.
Feeling guilty, a chill ran down my spine.
"She...she seems to be looking at us. Has she already discovered us?" Luo Chu asked, somewhat flustered.
But Shen Sangruo only glanced at it before quickly turning her gaze back to the illusory consciousness.
“That was just a projection. She and we are not in the same space at all. It was just a coincidence,” Lu Shiqing said.
I tried to remain calm, but a strange feeling still lingered in my heart.
No, she won't find out. And if she does find out, she'll definitely understand his good intentions.
"You want to touch my memories of my senior brothers and sisters? You're asking for death."
"If you hadn't wanted to alter my memories of them, I might have continued to play along with you. But the worst thing you could have done was to set your sights on them."
Her words seemed to be addressed to the consciousness of the illusion, or perhaps to someone else entirely.
Lu Shiqing clenched his fists suddenly, his emotions fluctuating wildly.
Luo Chu also pouted, looking very hurt. Shen Sangruo used to protect them like this, but now none of that mattered to them anymore.
"Alright, I don't have time to waste with you anymore. Tell me where the others are." Shen Sangruo's smile faded, her oppressive gaze flashing with threat.
"Otherwise... you know I have the ability to make you disappear."
The illusory consciousness struggled frantically, but was tightly restrained; it had never encountered such powerful divine soul force before.
If Shen Sang didn't waste words with it, the power of her divine soul in her hand would swirl around the illusionary consciousness and tighten it continuously.
"Aaaaaah!" The illusory consciousness let out a shrill scream.
“My patience is limited,” she said again.
Everyone else must be trapped in this space, just like her.
They didn't have her powerful spiritual energy, so only Lin Qianyin, who was skilled in illusions, could handle them.
Even those with strong wills, like Ye Huai, will not get lost in the illusion, but it is difficult for them to escape it.
"Everyone who enters the illusionary space must pass through the illusion itself; that's the rule! I won't tell you, I won't tell you, hahaha!"
"As long as the illusion exists, I will not disappear!"
If Shen Sang knew he couldn't get any information out of that illusion, he decisively tore that illusionary consciousness to pieces.
Reciprocity is key.
It's the same if she leaves the illusion to find other people.
"This illusion can't hold her; she'll be able to get out soon." Luo Chu breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, they didn't cause a major disaster.
Luo Chu no longer hopes to return her to her original state through the illusion; he only hopes that she can get out safely.
If it was truly because of them that Shen Sangruo was harmed, he would be trapped in self-blame and have no face to live any longer.
However, Lu Shiqing did not show any joy when he saw this scene.
This shouldn't be the outcome; he's not reconciled!
Why couldn't even illusions win back her feelings for them? Even with his guidance, she still refused to admit her love for him.
The illusion only touched her memories of those people, which made her abandon her disguise and directly make the illusion disappear.
The starkly different attitudes towards the two sides gradually twisted Lu Shiqing's mind.
Even though he had lost completely, he was still unwilling to give up and continued to manipulate the illusion before Shen Sangri left.
"If we and the people from Ninghua Sect are both in danger at the same time, and you can only save one side, who would you save?!"
Just as Shen Sanruo was about to tear open the illusion and leave, the illusion before her eyes began to change again.
Zhenlin Peak was replaced by a large area of magma.
Above the lava, there were two groups of people: one group consisted of Immortal Lord Changli and the others from the Ninghua Sect, while the other group consisted of six people from the Feiyun Sect.
They were standing on two separate platforms, which were sinking and would soon be submerged by lava.
A row of large characters appeared in the sky: You can only save people on one platform. Make your choice.
"Ninghua Sect." Shen Sangruo chose Ninghua Sect without hesitation.
He added, "Boring."
He then tore open the illusion and walked out, not giving the six members of the Flying Cloud Sect who had fallen into the lava behind him a second glance.
Why pull this stunt before she leaves?
She laughed, a mocking laugh.
Such a purposeful illusion is obviously the work of someone who created it.
He brought shame upon himself.
