In the numerous illusions, countless people were immersed, trapped in their desires, displaying various states of existence. The sword energy forcefully broke through, cutting off the gray-black mental energy that they continuously supplied to the illusion demon.

However, at this moment, everyone seemed to suddenly remember one thing.

One person was still missing.

Where was the little black snake?

Chong Yan sighed.

The little black snake had encountered many, many Waterdrop Fish.

He had initially cried because he thought he was ugly, immersed in sadness.

But until his vision was completely filled with clusters of Waterdrop Fish, he was finally spat on by others.

The little black snake once again felt sorry for itself, seeing its twisted snake tail and its pair of black, shiny vertical pupils in the reflection of the small water ditch.

This was a world of difference compared to the Waterdrop Fish. In an instant, the snake emerged from the muddy pool and began to stir up the small water ditch. This was not right.

It’s not his fault.

It’s the world’s aesthetic that is wrong.

He was able to obtain a beautiful snake with his good looks.

When his autonomy broke through the illusion, the power of the snake’s essence suddenly increased.

For a moment, a tremendous power surged within Wen Yu, and this illusion finally began to crack.

As the scattered fragments of the illusion disappeared and the distant big-nosed fish gradually vanished, Wen Yu saw a little hand reaching in through the opening of the illusion.

In the palm of her hand, she held a damp shell.

It was thrown out by Wen Yu after he crazily stirred up the river.

The shell opened, revealing a rather ordinary-looking and not so shiny pearl inside.

But when Wen Yu raised his eyes, he saw Yao Yao squatting in front of him with a suppressed smile.

“Hello.”

Behind her was the expressionless Chong Yan, the pitiful-looking Ji Rong, and the sword spirit emitting a chuckling sound in his hand.

Obviously, everyone could imagine what kind of illusion Wen Yu encountered.

“Haha.”

Wen Yu felt a little embarrassed.

But Wen Yu obtained another pearl.

Although it would dissipate along with the illusion and wasn’t as dazzling as the previous two pearls.

But at this moment, his simple snake brain finally produced a clear consciousness beyond “beauty and ugliness.” He needed to become stronger and be a reliable companion.

Because the little pearl was too precious.

She was the only one. He had to protect her.

Together with the entire Eastern Sea, he would protect her.

Wen Yu pouted emotionally, looking very charming. “Little Pearl.”

Then he was once again lifted out of the ditch.

Chong Yan put down his hand indifferently.

Wen Yu finally realized that it was Chong Yan who had put him next to the water-drop fish earlier.

But he did save him.

Now, Wen Yu was the angriest among everyone. He wanted to kill that demon.

Wen Yu tidied himself up a bit and began to frantically search with his snake tail.

Where was the demon hiding?

“His demon core won’t be easily found,” said the knowledgeable sword spirit. “And this illusion has countless layers. He can move freely, and the demon core can attach itself anywhere.”

In the records of Spirit Continent, there had been demons appearing before, although they weren’t at this level. But it was still extremely difficult for ordinary people to break through. As long as the demon remained dormant, he could wait for the people in the illusion to provide him with enough power.

For now, they could only break through the illusion while trying to cut off its absorption and search for suspicious places.

Yao Yao’s gaze swept over those who were indulging in desire.

When everyone’s life was reversed, strong cravings would arise. Because it was precisely the opposite, the cravings were even stronger.

The poor became suddenly rich and immersed themselves in the intoxication of lavish spending.

The weak became strong and indulged in the debauchery of displaying their might.

Unlike the withered souls exploited in the imperial tomb, every face in the illusion carried rich and fervent expressions.

The influence of the demon was everywhere in the illusion, but where exactly was its demon core?

Upside down, upside down.

Yao Yao suddenly looked at Chong Yan.

Since the illusion is reversed, shouldn’t the location of the demon core be the opposite of what we imagine?

Chong Yan immediately looked back at her.

In the instant their gazes met, Chong Yan seemed to understand what she was thinking.

The most unexpected, the most opposite.

The demon core should be between them.

Chong Yan’s icy flames surged out instantly, and around him, a barely noticeable fluctuation appeared.

On the little pearl held in Wen Yu’s palm.

Even though they had already left the heavy illusion, the pearl had not dissipated yet, and Wen Yu thought it was a pleasant surprise.

However, a black wind emerged from the pearl and was about to disappear and move away as soon as it was discovered.

Chong Yan’s icy flames extended halfway, then transformed into bone spikes that accurately headed towards Wen Yu’s palm.

In that split second, the shadow on the pearl actually shifted halfway.

So fast. In this bewildering illusion, everything moved according to the demon’s thoughts.

In a flash, a snake head appeared out of thin air and swallowed the pearl in one bite.

And then, the enchantress demon quieted down.

Everyone fell silent as well.

The little black snake closed its mouth, the pair of small bean-like eyes expressing its thoughts vividly.

This demon, insulted not only my beauty but also my little pearl.

The Yu Ji sword spirit said, “Good appetite.”

Yao Yao couldn’t help but clap her hands in delight. The giant black snake swallowed the demon, which was quite reasonable.

The enchantress demon was “spat” out.

The black snake couldn’t directly swallow him, otherwise, it would have indigestion and an upset stomach.

But before being spat out, Chong Yan’s ice flames and Ji Rong’s sword were already prepared to instantly shred him from various directions.

The enchantress demon probably knew that her death was imminent as soon as she appeared. So when she emerged from the snake’s mouth, she shouted,

“Wait!”

“I know where the Dragon Spine is.”

Because of this, Ji Rong hesitated for a moment.

However, Chong Yan’s bone spikes had already precisely pinned the demon core to the wall.

The Yu Ji Sword spirit immediately followed suit, creating a restraining formation around the enchantress demon.

It turned out that the creature that constructed this illusion was a mass of surging black clouds. It had a very vague expression, constantly transforming into pleading, smiling, and pained faces, like constantly shifting and melting faces.

To ensure that this thing couldn’t escape again, Yao Yao took a step forward.

“Where is the Dragon Spine of the ancient demon?”

The illusionary enchantress demon’s boundless illusion enveloped countless people and gained a lot from their consciousness and desires. Therefore, she had obtained a considerable amount of information.

Among them, there would indeed be important information.

The illusionary enchantress demon also knew that she was doomed, so she could only exchange information for her life. “Everyone, there are several layers of eminent people in the current illusion, as you know, and Jun Capital people is closely related to this matter.”

This place, with its exquisite buildings against the mountains, was indeed a well-known hot spring resort in the Northern Realm. So, it wasn’t surprising for various people to appear here.

And suddenly, Yao Yao remembered the crimson fiery soldiers on the Jun Capital airship, and the sudden appearance of the crimson Fire in the imperial tomb. The person standing behind Li Cangyan must be…

The black snake scolded her with great momentum. “Cut the nonsense and confess honestly. Who sent you?”

They came here to enjoy the hot springs and have a meal, but they were obviously targeted deliberately.

“This… this…” The illusion enchantress demon wanted to stall, but the sword tip and the snake’s mouth approached her. She hastily said, “You know the situation beneath the imperial tomb last time. Because you two buried the Spirit Continent Sword Saint afterwards, his already devoured body suffocated and only had a breath left.”

Ji Rong and Wen Yu exchanged a glance, and they could both see regret in each other’s eyes.

Why didn’t they suffocate him to death?

But they also knew that Li Cangyan was the burden that had come down to cause trouble in the mortal realm. If he couldn’t die, then they would torture him as much as possible.
