Su Yao followed the man in a black robe and walked through the depths of the temple. Her heartbeat echoed in her chest like a beating drum, and every step was like gambling on her own life. The air was filled with a strong scent of sandalwood, mixed with a faint fishy smell, as if a mixture of blood and divinity.
This is the core area of the illusion, "the black robed man's voice was low and calm, as if recounting an impending misfortune.
Su Yao's pupils suddenly contracted, and her voice trembled slightly.
What are you bringing me here for
The man in the black robe didn't turn back, he just continued walking forward.
Because here lies the answer you want
Suddenly, a fragment flashed through Su Yao's mind - she remembered asking countless questions, but the answers remained out of reach. Her long sword in her hand couldn't help but grip tighter, as if it was about to be unsheathed in the next second.
What do you want me to see? "Su Yao's voice carried a hint of anger.
The truth. "The man in the black robe stopped and slowly turned around, with a hint of indifference in his eyes." The truth you fear the most
Su Yao's body trembled violently, and a memory suddenly appeared in her mind - she stood in the valley, her hands stained with blood, and before her eyes was a scene of corpses scattered everywhere.
No... that's not true! "Su Yao's voice was almost suffocating from her throat.
Not true? "The man in black sneered," Are you still deceiving yourself
Su Yao's pupils suddenly contracted, and her voice carried a hint of crying.
I'm not wrong! I'm not a murderer
Why did you see these in the illusion
Su Yao's tears finally welled up and slid down her cheeks. The long sword in her hand trembled uncontrollably, as if she had no strength to lift it up.
Because... because I am too weak
Weak? "The black robed man's voice suddenly became intense," Only weak people can escape the truth
Su Yao's body trembled suddenly, and her voice was almost suffocating from her throat.
I didn't escape! I've faced it before! I've taken responsibility
Why are you still in the illusion? "The black robed man's voice suddenly became calm, as if he wanted to reveal all the truth.
Suddenly, a memory flashed through Su Yao's mind - she stood in the valley, holding a long sword tightly in her hand, with a bloody scene in front of her.
Because... because I dare not face it
Don't dare to face it? "The man in black sneered," Then you'll never be able to leave this illusion
Su Yao's pupils suddenly contracted, and her voice trembled slightly.
I... I want to go out
Then go face the truth, "the man in the black robe slowly raised his hand and pointed in a direction.
Su Yao followed his gesture and looked at the scene before her, which made her take a deep breath of cold air - it was a wasteland, with corpses and broken buildings on the ground, as if the whole world had been destroyed in a great fire.
Where is this? "Su Yao's voice trembled slightly.
This is your illusion, "the black robed man's voice was low and calm," this is the hell you created with your soul
Su Yao's body trembled suddenly, and a scene came to her mind - she stood in the midst of the ruins, her hands stained with blood, and an endless darkness in front of her.
No... this is not something I created
Isn't it? "The man in black sneered," Then why is it so real
Su Yao's tears finally welled up and slid down her cheeks. The long sword in her hand couldn't help but fall to the ground, making a crisp sound.
I admit... I admit I'm scared
What are you afraid of
Afraid of losing! Afraid of losing again! "Su Yao's voice was tinged with a hint of tears.
What have you lost
Losing everything... losing oneself
The black robed man's eyes suddenly flashed with a complex light. He slowly walked forward, raised his hand, and gently stroked Su Yao's cheek.
You have never lost anything, "his voice carried a hint of sadness," you just never learned to cherish
Su Yao's pupils suddenly contracted, and her voice trembled slightly.
What do you mean
Your illusion is the deepest fear in your heart, "the black robed man's voice was low and calm," and the truth is the deepest longing in your heart
Suddenly, a scene flashed through Su Yao's mind - she stood in the valley, holding a long sword tightly in her hand, with a familiar figure in front of her.
Li Xuan... "Su Yao's voice trembled slightly.
Li Xuan? "The man in black sneered," He never existed outside the illusion
Su Yao's tears finally welled up and slid down her cheeks. The long sword in her hand trembled uncontrollably, as if she had no strength to lift it up.
No... this is impossible
Perhaps, "the black robed man's voice suddenly became indifferent," and you... are still deeply immersed in it
Su Yao's pupils suddenly contracted, and her mind suddenly regained some clarity. She knew that the man in the black robe was right, and the truth of the illusion was slowly unfolding in front of her.
Why... why design this illusion
In order for you to face the truth, "the black robed man's voice carried a hint of mockery," you must learn to face your own heart
Suddenly, a scene flashed through Su Yao's mind - she was standing in the valley, holding a long sword tightly in her hand, with a bloody scene in front of her. She suddenly realized that she had never truly faced her deepest fears.
I... do I have to face it
Yes, "the black robed man's voice was low and firm," only by facing it can we go out
Su Yao's pupils suddenly contracted, and her voice trembled slightly.
I... I can do it
Is that okay? "The man in black sneered," Or are you just deceiving yourself
Su Yao's body trembled suddenly, and her voice was almost suffocating from her throat.
I... I will face it
Then go ahead, "the man in the black robe slowly raised his hand and pointed in a direction.
Su Yao took a deep breath and slowly walked towards that direction. Her footsteps were firm and heavy, as if every step was struggling with her own heart.
Su Yao finally arrived at a huge cave. The entrance to the cave is narrow and deep, as if it were the gateway to hell. She looked up and saw the top of the cave hidden in the darkness, as if it had no end.
This is the core of the illusion, "a voice suddenly sounded.
Su Yao suddenly turned around and saw the white robed old man standing not far away, with a hint of indifference in his eyes.
Why did you let me come here? "Su Yao's voice trembled slightly.
Because here lies the truth you fear the most, "the old man spoke slowly, with a hint of sadness in his voice.
Su Yao's pupils suddenly contracted, and her voice carried a hint of crying.
What am I afraid of
Afraid of losing, "the old man's voice was low and calm," afraid of losing again
Su Yao's tears finally welled up and slid down her cheeks. The long sword in her hand trembled uncontrollably, as if she had no strength to lift it up.
I... I'm really scared, "Su Yao's voice choked up.
What are you afraid of
Afraid... afraid of losing Li Xuan
Li Xuan? "The old man's voice suddenly became intense," He never existed
Su Yao's body trembled suddenly, and her voice was almost suffocating from her throat.
No... this is impossible
Maybe, "the old man sneered," he's just your illusion
Su Yao's pupils suddenly contracted, and a scene flashed through her mind - she stood in the valley, holding a long sword tightly in her hand, with a bloody scene in front of her.
So... did I really kill him
Yes, "the old man's voice was low and calm.
Su Yao's tears finally welled up and slid down her cheeks. The long sword in her hand couldn't help but fall to the ground, making a crisp sound.
I... I really killed him
Yes, "the old man spoke slowly," and you, Su Yao, must pay the price for it
Su Yao's body trembled suddenly, and her voice was almost suffocating from her throat.
I... what should I do
Facing the truth, "the old man spoke slowly," only in this way can you truly step out of the illusion
Su Yao's pupils suddenly contracted, and her voice carried a hint of firmness.
I... I can do it
Then go ahead, "the old man slowly raised his hand and pointed towards the depths of the cave.
Su Yao took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the depths of the cave. Her footsteps were firm and heavy, as if every step was struggling with her own heart.
Su Yao finally reached the deepest part of the cave. The air here is unusually cold, as if a strong chill is coming from all directions. She looked up and saw the top of the cave hidden in the darkness, as if it had no end.
Is this really the core of the illusion? "Su Yao murmured to herself, her voice trembling slightly.
Suddenly, she heard a sound of footsteps. The sound came softly from the depths of the cave, as if someone was approaching her.
Finally here, "a familiar voice suddenly sounded.
Su Yao suddenly looked up, and the scene in front of her made her take a deep breath. That was a figure she was all too familiar with - Li Xuan.
Li Xuan? "Su Yao's voice trembled slightly, and countless fragments flashed through her mind.
However, Li Xuan's gaze was very different from what she remembered. There was a hint of coldness in his eyes, a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth, and an unsettling aura emanating from his entire body.
You're here, "Li Xuan spoke slowly, with a hint of indifference in his voice.
Su Yao's pupils suddenly contracted, and her voice was almost suffocating from her throat.
Li Xuan, what's going on? Why did you design this illusion
Li Xuan sneered and raised his hand, pointing in the direction of Su Yao.
You're too weak, Su Yao, "his voice carried a hint of hatred." Do you think you can take responsibility? Do you think you can protect everything
Su Yao's body trembled suddenly, and the bloody scene suddenly came to her mind - she released the traitor, leading to the slaughter of the entire tribe. She lowered her head, with a hint of crying in her voice.
I was wrong, I really know I was wrong
Wrong? "Li Xuan's voice suddenly became intense, as if pouring all his anger onto her." Do you know how serious the mistake is? Do you know how many people you have destroyed
Su Yao's tears finally welled up and slid down her cheeks. The long sword in her hand trembled uncontrollably, as if she had no strength to lift it up.
Li Xuan, I really tried my best, "her voice choked up, almost falling to her knees.
Trying your best? "Li Xuan's voice was as cold as ice." Are you trying to lose everything? Are you trying to disappoint everyone
Suddenly, a memory flashed through Su Yao's eyes. She remembered Li Xuan once saying to her, 'You are my pride, you are the most talented disciple.' But now, he is using such cold words to hurt her heart.
Li Xuan, why did you treat me like this? "Su Yao's voice trembled slightly, and tears flickered in her eyes.
Because... "Li Xuan's voice suddenly became unusually calm, as if about to reveal all the truth," you are my failure. You are the existence I hate the most
Su Yao's pupils suddenly contracted, and her voice was almost suffocating from her throat.
No... this is impossible
Perhaps, "Li Xuan sneered," you have been smart and gifted since childhood, but you are too arrogant and stubborn. Do you think you can change your destiny? Do you think you can avoid losing
Su Yao's tears finally welled up and slid down her cheeks. She knew what Li Xuan said was right, but she still couldn't accept everything in front of her.
At this moment, Li Xuan's figure suddenly began to blur, and the image in front of him began to distort and deform. Su Yao felt a wave of dizziness, as if she was about to lose her balance.
Li Xuan... "Su Yao's voice was tinged with a hint of tears as she reached out to grab something, but couldn't catch anything.
Don't give up, "a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind her.
Su Yao suddenly turned around and saw the man in black standing not far away, with a cold smile in his eyes.
Let's go, "the man in the black robe reached out and grabbed Su Yao's hand, with a hint of determination in his voice.
But at that moment, Li Xuan's figure suddenly disappeared, replaced by a group of blood stained tribesmen whose eyes were filled with pain and resentment, as if they were about to drag Su Yao into hell.
Yao Er... "A faint voice sounded in my ear.
Su Yao suddenly turned her head and saw an elderly man lying on the ground, covered in blood and holding a long sword tightly in her hand.
Little master... "Su Yao's voice trembled, and countless memories suddenly flashed through her mind.
Why... "the old man's voice sounded weakly," Why let him go
Su Yao's body trembled suddenly, and her voice was almost suffocating from her throat.
Master, I was wrong, "her voice choked up, almost falling to her knees.
Wrong? "The old man's voice suddenly became intense, as if pouring all the pain onto her." Do you know how serious the mistake is? Do you know how many people you have destroyed
Su Yao's tears finally welled up and slid down her cheeks. She knew the old man was right, but she still couldn't accept everything in front of her.
At this moment, the figure of the man in black suddenly appeared beside her, coldly looking at the scene in front of her.
Don't listen to him, "the black robed man's voice was low and firm," this is not real
Su Yao suddenly looked up, with a hint of confusion in her eyes.
But... but I was really wrong, "Su Yao's voice trembled slightly.
Wrong. "The black robed man's voice suddenly became stern," What's wrong is believing in illusions, not believing in oneself
Su Yao's pupils suddenly contracted, and her mind suddenly regained some clarity. She knew that the man in the black robe was right, and the power of illusions lies in their ability to influence people's minds. Only by staying clear headed can one find a way out.
Yes... this is an illusion, "Su Yao's voice carried a hint of determination, and her long sword tightened involuntarily.
At this moment, the scene in front of me suddenly began to collapse, with fragments flying one after another, as if the entire illusion was collapsing. Su Yao felt a wave of dizziness, as if she was about to lose her balance.
Suyao, catch me! "The black robed man's voice suddenly sounded, with a hint of anxiety.
Su Yao suddenly opened her eyes and found herself back in that valley. The man in black is standing beside her, with a hint of concern in his eyes.
We have walked out of the illusion, "the black robed man's voice was low and calm," this is real
Su Yao took a deep breath, felt the air around her, smelled the scent of soil, and heard the sound of flowing water in the distance. She knew the black robed man was right, and they finally emerged from that terrifying illusion.
But at that moment, Su Yao suddenly realized something was wrong. She lowered her head to look at her hand, then looked up at the man in the black robe with a hint of confusion in her eyes.
Is this... is this true? "Su Yao's voice trembled slightly.
Yes, "the black robed man's voice was low and calm," this is real
Su Yao's pupils suddenly contracted, and a scene flashed through her mind - she stood in the valley, holding a long sword tightly in her hand, with a bloody scene in front of her.
So... what about Li Xuan? "Su Yao's voice trembled slightly.
The man in black suddenly turned pale. He looked down at his right hand and noticed that it was gradually becoming transparent, as if it could disappear at any moment.
No... that's impossible! "The black robed man's voice suddenly became frightened," I clearly feel like I'm still here
Su Yao's pupils suddenly contracted, and her voice was almost suffocating from her throat.
No! This is impossible
However, at this moment, the figure of the black robed man suddenly began to gradually dissipate and finally disappeared completely into the air. Su Yao's world collapsed in an instant, and she felt like she was pushed into a bottomless abyss.
No! Li Xuan
Her roar echoed in the valley, but only distant echoes responded to her. Su Yao suddenly realized that the figure of the black robed man had never existed outside the illusion from the beginning, he was just a part of the illusion.
No... this is impossible... "Su Yao's voice choked up, tears welling up in her eyes again." Why... why is this happening
Just then, a familiar voice suddenly sounded with a hint of a cold laugh.
Because... you have never left the illusion
Su Yao suddenly looked up and saw the old man in white standing not far away, with a cold smile in his eyes.
The illusion... continues, "he spoke slowly, with a hint of mockery in his voice," and you... are still deeply immersed in it
Su Yao's pupils suddenly contracted, and memories flashed through her mind. She suddenly realized that she had never truly stepped out of the illusion, everything was just a part of it.
No... that's impossible! "Su Yao's voice trembled slightly, and her long sword tightened involuntarily.
At this moment, the figure of the old man in the white robe suddenly began to distort, and the image in front of him also began to blur. Su Yao felt a strong dizziness, as if the whole world was collapsing.
Su Yao... "A faint voice sounded in her ear.
Su Yao suddenly opened her eyes and found herself back in that valley. The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, while the surrounding scenery became blurry and distorted.
This is... where is this? "Su Yao's voice trembled slightly.
This is the depths of the illusion, "a voice suddenly sounded.
Su Yao suddenly turned around and saw a figure standing not far away. There was a hint of sadness on his face, but there was a glimmer of determination in his eyes.
Li Xuan? "Su Yao's voice trembled slightly.
Li Xuan walked slowly forward, with a complex gleam in his eyes.
Su Yao, you've finally arrived. "His voice was low and calm.
Su Yao's pupils suddenly contracted, and her voice trembled slightly.
Li Xuan... are you still alive
Li Xuan's face suddenly turned pale. He looked down at his hand and noticed that it was gradually becoming transparent, as if it could disappear at any moment.
No... I shouldn't be here, "Li Xuan's voice suddenly became frightened." I'm already dead
Su Yao's pupils suddenly contracted, and her voice was almost suffocating from her throat.
No! This is impossible
However, at this moment, Li Xuan's figure suddenly began to gradually dissipate and finally disappeared completely into the air. Su Yao's world collapsed in an instant, and she felt like she was pushed into a bottomless abyss.
No! Li Xuan
Her roar echoed in the valley, but only distant echoes responded to her. Su Yao suddenly realized that Li Xuan's figure had never existed outside the illusion from the beginning, he was just a part of the illusion.
No... this is impossible... "Su Yao's voice choked up, tears welling up in her eyes again." Why... why is this happening
Just then, a familiar voice suddenly sounded with a hint of a cold laugh.
Because... you have never left the illusion
Su Yao suddenly looked up and saw the old man in white standing not far away, with a cold smile in his eyes.
The illusion... continues, "he spoke slowly, with a hint of mockery in his voice," and you... are still deeply immersed in it
