But the lady did not seem to plan to give up. She still shouted at Shuo Yue for her son to live.

”If you were my mother, you wouldn't have hurt me. You're not, you're just an illusion …”

Shuo Yue finally walked out of the shadow, and when he said those words, Xia Mingtianji's afterimage suddenly disappeared, and the scene of the Fengdu Ghost City in front of him turned back into the tunnel.

”So this so-called illusion. As long as I get rid of the demon heart in my heart, it will naturally unravel.” I suddenly understood.

Hurriedly checking on Shuo Yue's injuries, the injuries she suffered in the illusion were also real. His wounds were not deep, but they were quickly wrapped tightly.

”Sorry, I've implicated you guys again. I really shouldn't have been tricked like this. I didn't react in time …” Shuo Yue seemed to be extremely guilty.

”Nothing. If you hadn't opened the trap for us, the illusion wouldn't have targeted you and caused you to experience the pain of losing your mother again. I'm very sorry too.” Actually, I quite understand Shuo Yue's feelings. The last time I saw Zhang Ziyuan in the illusion world, it caused my heart to be filled with terror, and even if I knew that all of this was fake, I couldn't control my own emotions.

Zhang Ziyuan heard that the two of us were being polite, he had already started to look for an exit.

”After experiencing this illusion world, have you noticed that there seems to be a difference in the tunnel?”

After what he said, I looked at the tunnel. It was different.

”I felt that it used to be very dark, I could barely see anything. Now, it's much brighter!”

Most importantly, the tunnel was getting brighter in one direction, while it was getting darker on the other. It seemed like this was the way to find the exit.

”Are we following the light to guide the exit?” Shuo Yue asked.

”It should be, Shuo Yue. You're injured, and we'll be the ones to activate the mechanism.”

This time, I had truly experienced the true power of illusion techniques. Attacking the heart was impossible to guard against, and I didn't know what kind of illusion would appear if I were to touch the mechanism again.

He followed the light and entered another tunnel. Indeed, there was a strange protrusion on the wall as well. He had arranged the five elements in a row with his eight trigrams, so he needed to move smoothly to activate the mechanism.

”My wife, let me do it. I'm a demon now, so this sort of thing shouldn't have much use to me.”

I looked at Zhang Ziyuan doubtfully, and in the end, I moved away and let him activate the mechanism.

The moment the mechanism was activated, the scenery in front of me changed again and again. This matter left me with no choice but to praise Sect Leader of the Secret Sect's illusion. How did he see through people and weave illusions about everyone's weaknesses?

I was also very familiar with the scene, it turned out to be the village I grew up in, my hometown.

Actually, there are a lot of things that I don't know about, but I don't know what kind of person he was when he was alive, or why he died so young, or why he collected his resentment and refused to reincarnate.

These were the many questions lingering in my mind, I just didn't have the nerve to ask, could it be that Zhang Ziyuan's inner demon, was actually here when he was still alive?

Zhang Ziyuan was probably living in the Republic of China period, at that time, the clothes worn by the villagers would be different from what it is now.

”This, is the scene of you when you were alive?”

Zhang Ziyuan frowned, he did not say a word, and did not know whether to accept it or not, but did not want to mention it.

”Zhang Ziyuan, Zhang Ziyuan?” Suddenly, he heard a call, causing Zhang Ziyuan's entire body to tremble.

It sounded very young and sweet, and should be a beautiful girl. Could it be an old acquaintance of Zhang Ziyuan?

Along with the voice, a beautiful and dignified lady appeared in front of us. She was dressed very well, with a typical wedding dress from the Republic of China period, bright red dress and skirt. She was very beautiful.

”You, Yu Die?” Zhang Ziyuan trembled as he handed over the girl's name. Turns out the beautiful girl was called Yu Die.

It can't be said that the girl back then was really different from how she is now, and it's not like Zhang Ziyuan would say that. At that time, she was just like the jade from a small family, or she was a young lady from a big family, like Yu Die.

Thinking that this woman should have feelings for Zhang Ziyuan, my heart felt extremely uncomfortable, as if my heart had been turned over with jealousy.
