C989 Illusion
It was the fifteenth of another month, and many of the people of the Sand Region had rushed from the cities to the Holy Sun City to pay homage to the gods.
This time, Ling Xiao simply put away the sand and stopped him from appearing.
Sha Hu's strength did not seem bad, but at the crucial moment, he would probably become a burden.
Ling Xiao kept him. That's because he's still useful for the time being.
Now that Ling Xiao had learned the local language, he could understand the language of these people. He no longer needed Sha Hu as a translator.
The people here were just exchanging information about when they would come to worship the gods. They had been blessed with good luck and so on.
It was obvious that these people had been brainwashed. Every word they said was filled with respect and worship towards the Holy Sun Sect and Holy Yin Religion.
Ling Xiao was too lazy to care about these people. He quietly followed the instructions on the map and began to move between the castles.
He discovered that there were faint powerful Array Pattern fluctuations around these castles. Clearly, these Array Patterns were the reason why these castles were not destroyed by the sandstorm for two hundred thousand years.
Ling Xiao could guess that these medicinal Array Patterns had at least reached Tier 9 or above. Otherwise, it was impossible to surround and protect them for such a long time. Or perhaps someone from the Holy Yin Religion arranged new medicinal Array Patterns later on.
Ling Xiao walked around here but did not discover anything unusual. It was as if he sensed that his aura had been locked onto by someone else.
Just as Ling Xiao was about to give up and leave, a strange scene flashed across his eyes.
He looked at the castle wall in front of him. It was hollow, as if there was an entrance that led underground.
Ling Xiao suspected it. Was he hallucinating? He shook his head and looked around. He found that the wall of the castle still existed. The Array Pattern was still fluctuating intensely.
Just as Ling Xiao was about to turn around and leave, he turned around again and muttered, "No, there must be something strange!
Then, he gathered his strength again, and his green eyes began to display their power.
Sure enough, he saw the scene just now once again. The walls of the castle were not real. There was a passage entrance there, and it should have entered the basement directly.
"This... This is... Could it be that this is all an illusion?" Ling Xiao's expression changed.
Then, he looked at the castles in all directions. He found that these castles had already been destroyed. The spiritual trees, spiritual herbs, and spiritual flowers were all withered trunks and withered grass.
This was a very desolate scene. There was no sense of scenery here.
And those Sand Region people were walking on the path of defeat. They were not worshipping the Holy Bright Divine Statue, they were just some dilapidated tables and messy stone statues.
"Damn it, so it really is an illusion. This... this is too terrifying!" Ling Xiao swallowed his saliva. He felt that all of this was too bizarre.
He knew that in ancient times, there were some peerless experts who could set up illusions, trap people to death, and turn inanimate objects into living things...
All kinds of illusions were layered, making it impossible to guard against.
Ling Xiao stepped out. s in Illusion Valley for many years, this was the first time Ling Xiao came into contact with the existence of illusion.
Fortunately, he had killed the Illusion Demon and refined his demon crystal, causing his eyes to mutate, allowing him to see through all illusions. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to discover the secrets of this place.
"It's you again, a sinner who blaspheme the gods, but you weren't chased by a Saint. Men, follow me and catch this sinner who blaspheme the gods!" A Profound Monarch guard recognized Ling Xiao, who was still in a daze. He cried out in shock and lunged at Ling Xiao. Both of his palms turned into claws, trying to capture Ling Xiao.
At the same time, the surrounding guards also rushed in this direction.
Ling Xiao was helpless. The Wind God Kick suddenly appeared and sent the Profound Monarch flying.
When he was about to run away again, dozens of Profound Monarch had already flown to his head and surrounded his path.
Not only that, but also his path. The surrounding believers looked at Ling Xiao at the same time.
From their eyes, Ling Xiao saw a strong ominous glint.
"Damn, there's no need to do this, right?" Ling Xiao shouted and immediately retreated.
However, at this moment, the dozen Profound Monarch warriors attacked at the same time. Streams of energy of different attributes interweaved and formed a net, grabbing towards Ling Xiao.
The net was hundreds of meters wide, covering the entire space. It was difficult for even a mosquito to fly.
With so many Profound Monarch warriors working together to create this net, even ordinary Peak of Profound Monarch or half-step Saint wouldn't be able to escape.
Ling Xiao didn't dare to be careless. The Golden Dragon Spear appeared in his hand, and he threw it at the Heaven Nets Above Snares Below.
Rumble rumble rumble!
A Peerless True Dragon directly tore a hole in the Nets Above Snares Below, allowing him to successfully escape from there.
However, just as Ling Xiao was about to escape, a figure suddenly appeared on his face.
"Saint!" Ling Xiao was unable to catch his opponent's Qi. Clearly, his strength was much stronger than his.
This man was at least a Mid Saint warrior.
"Surrender now, or you will die for me!" The Mid Saint said coldly.
"Humph, this will depend on whether you have the ability!" Ling Xiao snorted coldly. All his strength was unleashed in an instant. The dragon-shaped Battle Qi immediately wrapped around his body, turning him into a half-dragon.
At the same time, the man appeared under Ling Xiao in his true form.
Ling Xiao and the man opened their mouths and roared at the same time.
Roar! Roar!
Two different sound waves rushed towards the middle Saint at the same time.
Both of them were Heavenly Bin divine abilities, and their power was extremely terrifying. All the air around them was turned into a vacuum, while the believers below were hugging their ears and screaming incessantly.
The sound waves unleashed by Ling Xiao and the Lion Tiger Beast at the same time were extremely terrifying. Even an ordinary low Saint would be severely injured from the shock.
The intermediate Saint didn't expect this young man to be so powerful, and the distance between them was very close.
He felt his blood boiling. He quickly backed away, and the spatial energies isolated the sound waves in front of him.
Ling Xiao didn't dare to fight this Mid Saint head-on anymore. He no longer had Old Dragon King's Dragon Scale armor. Although his physical body could withstand the opponent's attack, it was still difficult for him to resist the confinement of the opponent.
Heaven Suppression Drum appeared in his hand. All of the energy gathered on his palm and slammed heavily on the drum's surface.
Dong!
An ancient giant appeared in the sky above Ling Xiao. He held the huge drum and began to beat it. The sound was like the bugle and drum sound on the primeval battlefield, stirring up the morale of the soldiers on the battlefield.
The intermediate Saint had already sealed off his sense of hearing to avoid being attacked by the sound waves again.
However, he had miscalculated!
That drum sound was completely different from ordinary sound attacks. That power actually reached into his body, shaking his internal organs until they were about to burst open.
Blood instantly flowed out from his seven orifices. All the power quickly suppressed the injuries in his body, and at the same time, tried to escape at the fastest speed possible.
Unfortunately, the second drum sound rang out once more.
Bang!
With an unwilling expression, he finally could not take it and his entire body exploded.
A lump of blood oar appeared in midair, and a pungent smell instantly filled the air.
When the people below saw this scene, all of their mouths were wide open, and their faces were filled with terror.
That was a Saint Elder, the most powerful person in charge of this place. He was killed in just a few rounds. This was simply too shocking.
"He actually killed the Saint Elder? That damned sinner! Everyone, let's attack together and kill him! We'll avenge the Saint Elder and return the Holy Church to a state of clarity!" A Profound Monarch shouted in shock.
As his voice faded, all the believers shouted at the same time, "Kill him, avenge the Saint Elder, and return the Holy Church to a state of clarity!
Immediately after, tens of thousands of people gathered their strength and attacked Ling Xiao and the Lion Tiger Beast in the sky.
Boundless and majestic energy instantly exploded out, shaking the heavens and earth.
"This time, I've poked the wasp nest!" Ling Xiao cried out in alarm, not daring to hesitate. He sat on the lion tiger beast and immediately fled, his speed as fast as lightning.
There was no lack of experts among the believers. They actually chased after him without fear of death.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of Profound Monarch appeared. This number was simply too frightening.
Such a force was not inferior to any third-grade sect in the central region.
Moreover, what they saw was only the tip of the iceberg. Who knew how many Profound Monarch and Saint there were in this desert?
Ling Xiao couldn't help but think that the Holy Yin Religion was really a branch of the Holy Sun Sect.
Otherwise, how could there be so many experts here?
Ling Xiao escaped very quickly. Those people couldn't catch up to him at all.
Ling Xiao already knew that the Holy Sun Sect had long been turned into ruins. Those people's faith was only protecting the illusion realm.
However, he discovered that there was a basement there that he had to go back and study. Perhaps that was where the secret of the Holy Sun Sect was located.
The next day, Ling Xiao sneaked back to the vicinity of the ruins of the Holy Sun Sect.
He found that those believers had disappeared. Only a lot of people from the Holy Yin Religion were patrolling the area.
These people were only at the Earthly Sovereign or Celestial Sovereign realm, and the Profound Monarch Rank warriors were probably sitting in the formation.
Ling Xiao quietly cast a high grade mental curse on the group of people one by one, controlling them and then ordered them to come towards him.
Then, he took advantage of the absence of the other patrols and knocked out a man who was about the same size as him. He changed his clothes to himself.
Ling Xiao finished his work. No one else noticed him.
He joined the team and started patrolling the area.
Ling Xiao once again gathered his green eyes and saw through all the illusions here. He found that the scene he saw yesterday was real.
The castle here was already in ruins. All the trees and flowers in the surroundings had withered and withered.
There was no sense of victory here. It was just a wasteland.
Ling Xiao followed the team and came to the wall of the most majestic castle.0
He felt the defensive Array Patterns around the castle. He gritted his teeth and rammed into the wall of the castle.
