C3543 The Real Illusion
Initially, Faang Yang thought that he could change Chiang Lieh's fate, but in the end, he realized that nothing had changed. In the end, Chiang Lieh died once, but was saved by Lord Lyi.
It seemed like Lord Lyi had never intended to let Chiang Lieh die from the very beginning. This made Faang Yang feel that what he had done was meaningless.
For a moment, a sense of defeat arose in Faang Yang's heart. Fortunately, he quickly recovered.
Lord Lyi's strength had indeed far exceeded Faang Yang's imagination, but it wasn't something that couldn't be surpassed. On the other hand, since Chiang Lieh had been saved, Faang Yang naturally didn't wish for Chiang Lieh to fall into danger again.
Even if it wasn't for his own sake, seeing the Blood Essence and Imperial Weapon given to Faang Yang by Chiang Lieh, Faang Yang wouldn't just watch Chiang Lieh die without doing anything.
Although they had already left Secret Realm, they hadn't really walked out of the territory of Secret Realm. This place still belonged to the illusory desert.
However, this was the outermost region. Although there wasn't much risk, the illusion realm inside could easily make one lose their way.
Faang Yang didn't want to be trapped in the Secret Realm. Instead, he would be lost in the desert in the outermost region. Adding the fact that Lyi Chu and Elder Distortion had ulterior motives, this wasn't a good thing for Faang Yang.
Although these two seemed to have given up on targeting Faang Yang, it was only because they didn't have the confidence to make Faang Yang stay. If there was a chance, they definitely wouldn't miss it.
The group walked in the desert for more than half a day, but they still didn't walk out of the desert. Even the surrounding environment didn't seem to have changed much.
"Could it be that they are bringing themselves around in a circle?"
Faang Yang's heart tightened. His sense of direction towards Upper Realm was not strong to begin with, let alone in this extremely confusing desert.
At this moment, Faang Yang could not tell which direction was north, south, east, and west. He could only follow Lyi Chu and the others.
Seeing that they had not left after walking for such a long time, Faang Yang finally could not hold himself back and asked Lyi Chu, "How long more until we can leave?"
Lyi Chu replied without turning his head, "What are you in a hurry for? This desert is not as simple as you think..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the scenery in front of everyone changed instantly. They were originally walking in the endless desert, but in the blink of an eye, they appeared in a small city.
"This is..." Faang Yang's pupils shrank. He thought this was an illusion, but he found that everything around him was real.
Lyi Chu looked at Faang Yang indifferently. "This is the real terror of the illusory desert. A real illusion. If you want to leave, you have to go through this place."
Faang Yang secretly became alert. "Then how did you leave before?"
Lyi Chu smiled and said, "Leave? When did we leave?"
Faang Yang finally realized that Lyi Chu had already been replaced by an illusion, just like what Faang Yang had experienced when he entered the desert.
Not only Faang Yang, but Elder Discord also widened his eyes. He had no idea when Lyi Chu had been replaced. The person he followed earlier was a fake made up of sandworms.
After Lyi Chu finished speaking, he turned into countless sandworms and scattered on the ground. After merging into the illusion realm, Faang Yang felt even more shocked. He found that these sandworms did not disappear, but turned into something else and merged into the illusion.
Faang Yang wouldn't just sit there and wait for his death. The power in his body erupted, trying to break the illusion realm, but he found that he couldn't move a single inch of this place.
After his power left his body, it disappeared in an instant, as if it had never appeared.
"Why did the energy disappear?" Elder Discord exclaimed in surprise as well.
Obviously, he was prepared to do the same thing, but the result was the same as Faang Yang. His power disappeared without a trace after leaving his body.
Faang Yang frowned and carefully sized up Elder Discord. He wanted to see if Elder Discord was real or fake.
Unfortunately, Elder Distortion didn't reveal any abnormalities. If Lyi Chu hadn't revealed himself earlier, Faang Yang was afraid that he wouldn't have been able to detect it.
Faang Yang had a rather good understanding of Lyi Chu, but Elder Discord didn't know anything about him. Therefore, it wasn't appropriate for Faang Yang to test Elder Discord now.
Elder Discord noticed Faang Yang's gaze and hurriedly explained, "This old man is real. It's not an illusion created by the transformation of a sandworm. You better not mess around."2
Elder Discord couldn't help being anxious. His strength was much weaker than Faang Yang's. The speed he was best at was not worth mentioning in front of Faang Yang. If they really fought, he wouldn't be a match for Faang Yang.
What he was worried about was not the surrounding illusion realm, but the Faang Yang in front of him.
Elder Discord also didn't know whether Faang Yang was real or fake. What was even worse was that Faang Yang was stronger than him, and he didn't even have the qualifications to test him.
The one who puzzled them the most was Chiang Lieh. Logically speaking, given Chiang Lieh's current condition, it was best to lie to him. However, because of Chiang Lieh's injuries, he was the one who was the hardest to fool.
"What should we do now?" Elder Discord muttered anxiously.
Faang Yang puckered his lips. How could he know what to do? After all, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation. On the contrary, it was Elder Discord who had experienced it once. He looked even more panicked than Faang Yang.
Suddenly, a thought flashed across Faang Yang's mind. Since the other party had already experienced it once, why did he perform so badly?
When he thought of this, Faang Yang secretly became vigilant. Elder Discord seemed to have realized Faang Yang's gaze. He hurriedly said, "Don't even think about crossing the line. This old man has been trapped in Secret Realm all this time. I have never left. After all, I am no match for Lyi Chu, the Young Lord of the Jiuli Bloodline. If I can get Lord Lyi to take care of me... "
As he spoke, Elder Discord quietly observed Faang Yang's facial expression. He only heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that there was nothing unusual about Faang Yang.
Perhaps even he himself didn't know why he was so afraid of Faang Yang. One should know that Faang Yang's cultivation base was slightly weaker than his.
However, the strength that Faang Yang displayed had already far exceeded his. If the two of them really fought, he was afraid that he would be knocked down by Faang Yang in a single exchange.
It was precisely because of Elder Discord's fear that Faang Yang let go of his doubts about Elder Discord. Furthermore, given his opponent's strength, it wouldn't be so easy for him to be replaced by sandworms.
"Since it isn't Elder Discord, the problem can only be solved by me. It's just that when did the sandworms attack and when did I fall into their trap?"
Compared to the illusion realm in front of him, Faang Yang was more concerned about this point.
After all, he had been vigilant of his surroundings and had never slacked off. In the end, he still fell into the illusion, which surprised him.
If this illusionary realm was really so terrifying, they could basically give up struggling. However, this illusionary realm obviously didn't have the power that they had imagined. However, this technique was somewhat strange, and it made them fall into it without any ability to resist.
