Chapter 78: Penetrate

Although Iron Cliff’s breath was not loud, it sounded like thunder in the black-clothed person’s ears.

His entire body trembled, as he suddenly turned around and yelled, “Who is it? Show yourself!”

His voice contained a trace of panic that he could not suppress.

When Su Chen saw this, he decided to stop hiding and walked out from the shadows.

When that person saw him, he was clearly shocked. “It’s you?”

“Is it so surprising to see me here?” Su Chen asked, his tone carrying a faint trace of mocking. “Mister Li.”

The black-clothed person in front of him was the Illusion Master Li that had been part of the seven-man black-clothed platoon from earlier.

At this moment, Li’s expression was incredibly ugly. His eyes slowly squinted. “Interesting. Brat, why didn’t you return to Northface City, instead coming here?”

“Naturally, it was to wait for you. To wait for you to return and open the real secret chamber,” Su Chen laughed.

Li’s expression became ugly. “How did you know?”

“It’s really not that strange,” Su Chen replied. “I knew as soon as we discovered this place that what we found could not be Li Mingtang’s entire wealth. He was in the Yang Opening Realm! If he wanted to, he could infuse hundreds of low-grade Origin Stones every day. As someone who plundered others for a living, would you believe that he had only stored up twenty thousand pieces?”

“But hadn’t we searched the entire treasury, and didn’t we interrogate everyone? And we still were unable to find anything in the end.”

“You were the one that performed the interrogation!” Su Chen replied. “In fact, Li Mingtang’s wife had revealed the true location of the treasury a long time ago. However, you purposefully concealed that from us and then killed her to silence her.”

Li coldly harrumphed, “But you also saw it that I had interrogated her in front of everyone. How could I conceal it?”

“That’s true, assuming that what was saw was indeed even there in the first place,” Su Chen replied.

Li couldn’t keep his expression together.

Su Chen sighed. “I must admit that you are very brave, and I also must admit that Illusion Masters truly are extraordinary. To trick every single one of us soundlessly so that we weren’t even aware…… Madame Li’s crying out that she didn’t know must have been created by your illusion techniques, right? You pulled all of us into your illusion technique and created a fake scene. In reality, you had learned from Madame Li the true location of the secret treasury and how to open the room a long time ago. You truly do have quite a bit of guts, even daring to trick Baron and succeeding.”

Yesterday, when Li had interrogated Madame Li, it had all been an illusion that he had created. This guy actually was able to ask about the location of the treasure in front of everyone, yet prevent them from knowing the truth.

Indeed, his courage encompassed the heavens!

At this moment, Li laughed darkly, “Illusion techniques were made for tricking people in the first place. It is like throwing everyone into a dreamscape; as long as you don’t shock the people dreaming awake, even cultivators in a higher realm can be tricked as long as the dreamscape exists. However, I never expected that despite tricking Baron, I was still unable to trick you.”

“No, you did trick me,” Su Chen replied. “Your illusions are invulnerable, and I hadn’t seen through them at the time.”

“Then how did you discover it in the end?”
