Chapter 1510 - 1357: My Younger Brother Is a Villain 54
Before Zhu Meng already felt something was off about this Illusion Realm, so every time it detected a weak point in the Illusion Realm, it never dared to be certain and could only meticulously search for flaws again and again.Now Zhu Meng was finally somewhat certain that something was indeed amiss with this place. Nie Shuangshuang looked towards where Zhu Meng’s eyes were fixed, but she couldn’t see the lines in Zhu Meng’s eyes.
That was a talent unique to the Phantom Monkey clan: all Illusion Arrays and Illusion Realms were interpreted as lines comprehensible only by the Phantom Monkey clan, simplifying complexity.
Although Nie Shuangshuang couldn’t see the lines in Zhu Meng’s eyes, once Zhu Meng pointed out something wrong, she used her spiritual sense to carefully scan the area, eventually discovering some abnormalities.
Zhu Meng’s feeling was correct. Initially, Nie Shuangshuang thought there was only one Illusion Realm here, but in fact, it wasn’t just one Illusion Realm; there were two—one above the ground and one below it.
What lies beneath this Illusion Realm couldn’t be discovered in a moment, and with this hidden Illusion Realm below, Nie Shuangshuang dared not to disturb the Illusion Realm above.
The two Illusion Realms are twin illusions, closely linked. If Nie Shuangshuang touched the Illusion Realm above, the one below would surely be triggered as well.
Who knows what might be in the Illusion Realm below? Is it even more troublesome than the resentful rain in the Illusion Realm above? The uncertainty of this consequence was too great.
Just as Nie Shuangshuang was troubled, Feng Feiyu dragged the limp bodies of Fang Bai and Luo Ying back, tossing them directly to the ground at Nie Shuangshuang’s feet.
Feng Feiyu’s expression was somewhat unsightly: "Master, I’ve already questioned them, these two are just small fry. There are many evil cultivators hiding beneath this Illusion Realm.
This Illusion Realm is a twin illusion, filled with resentful rain above, but below, the Illusion Realm is combined with an underground cave. The environment is both real and illusory, yet it is an Illusion Realm for hiding people.
This Illusion Realm is extremely concealed; as long as the people inside don’t come out actively, those outside would never discover the Illusion Realm below.
According to Fang Bai, these evil cultivators rely on this Illusion Realm to repeatedly avoid the inspections of cultivators from the Four Great Immortal Sects who come to investigate Luofeng Mountain.
However, with benefits come drawbacks. The concealment of the Illusion Realm below is good enough, but the people inside also can’t find out any information from the outside.
The Illusion Realm below is highly hallucinogenic; even these evil cultivators, if not careful, can get trapped in the Illusion Realm, unable to escape."
It’s an Illusion Realm for hiding people; Nie Shuangshuang breathed a sigh of relief, at least it wasn’t a dangerous Illusion Realm, though it seemed to be a den of evil cultivators below, it was still better than another Illusion Realm filled with something similar to resentful rain.
Moreover, what further relieved Nie Shuangshuang was the fact that since these evil cultivators relied on this Illusion Realm to avoid the cultivators from the Four Great Immortals, it indicated that the Four Great Immortals had no involvement with these evil cultivators.
This was the happiest discovery for Nie Shuangshuang because if indeed regular cultivators and evil cultivators were involved, there would surely be a huge conspiracy; Nie Shuangshuang was not afraid of conspiracies but absolutely despised them.
In fact, such an Illusion Realm that can hide people and contain resentful rain can no longer simply be called an Illusion Realm; it is an Illusion Realm combined with space, much harder to deal with than a simple Illusion Realm.
Over there, Feng Feiyu continued explaining to Nie Shuangshuang: "It is said that inside the Illusion Realm below, there are nearly two hundred evil cultivators, and most of these evil cultivators are at the Nascent Soul Stage and Golden Core Stage, with only a few at the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Their leader is an evil cultivator at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage who calls himself the Blood Demon Venerable Master, having his subordinates call him Venerable Master.
This Fang Bai and Luo Ying were early followers of the Blood Demon Venerable Master, so although they are small fry, they know a few things.
Once the Blood Demon Venerable Master discovered this Illusion Realm, he continuously gathered evil cultivators here. The evil cultivators gathered by the Blood Demon Venerable Master range in cultivation, from half-step Divinity Separation to Foundation Establishment Stage.
Usually, those at the Divine Split Stage, Nascent Soul Stage, and Golden Core Stage take turns leaving Luofeng Mountain to capture cultivators, while those at the Foundation Establishment Stage are responsible for keeping watch.
My prior analysis was correct: Luofeng Mountain indeed has mechanisms arranged by the Blood Demon Venerable Master using the resentful energy of Luofeng Mountain.
Anyone who enters Luofeng Mountain will be discovered by the hidden sentries inside, reported to the Blood Demon Venerable Master, who will then immediately lead people to hide in the Illusion Realm.
The places where those sentries hide are also specifically arranged by the Blood Demon Venerable Master, using the resentful energy of the entire Luofeng Mountain to conceal the sentries’ hiding place.
The hiding place is opened very small and integrated with the entirety of Luofeng Mountain, its concealment not much inferior to the underground Illusion Realm, according to the Blood Demon Venerable Master, it is said even Loose Immortal Level cultivators cannot discover it using their Spiritual Sense.
Since their hiding place is not an Illusion Realm, creatures like Zhu Meng that specialize in seeing through arrays and Illusion Realms have no method to discern it.
Of course, those Foundation Establishment Stage evil cultivators occasionally use the distress fireworks of the righteous sects to lure cultivators over, tricking them into the Illusion Realm filled with resentful rain.
Once a cultivator enters that Illusion Realm full of resentful rain, they are immediately invaded by the dense resentful energy, losing combat ability instantly, no matter how powerful a Great Cultivator they are, they are easily captured.
Each time they capture someone, they deliver them to the Blood Demon Venerable Master and always receive many rewards—the higher the captured cultivator’s cultivation, the greater the reward, and in this aspect, the Blood Demon Venerable Master is extremely generous.
Fang Bai and Luo Ying have captured many people, but this time they were unfortunate, luring you, Master, directly resulting in their capsizing and being counter-captured by us, even leading us to their lair."
After Feng Feiyu finished speaking, their mood was also quite heavy. Though their views may be a bit skewed, they were just overly obsessed with revenge against enemies from a past life, never randomly killing innocents or causing wanton harm.
And Nie Shuangshuang’s mood was also not great. An evil cultivator at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage leading a group of evil cultivators, with quite a number of them having not insignificant cultivation.
Such a large group gathered at a place like Luofeng Mountain for so many years; who knows how many cultivators they have captured over time, surely not up to anything good.
Evil cultivators are always madly insane; normal people can’t even guess what earth-shattering events they might instigate or what great calamity they might bring about.
For the Blood Demon Venerable Master to want to create an even more terrifying Ghost Realm than the Nantian Ghost Kingdom would not be a surprising endeavor for Nie Shuangshuang.
Nie Shuangshuang is now in a tough spot. First and foremost, this Illusion Realm must be addressed; if the resentful energy is allowed to continuously flood in, this Illusion Realm will eventually burst, and the spread of the resentful rain would have unimaginable consequences!
