Otherwise, if it were anyone else, they wouldn’t realize that they had unknowingly fallen into an illusion, and in the end, they wouldn’t even know how they died here.
Looking back at Zhang Yuanying, Wang Longhu poked her philtrum with his finger.
The intense pressure made Zhang Yuanying feel a sharp pain at her philtrum point instantly, and she cried out, "What are you doing! It hurts, it hurts."
The sharp pain brought clarity back to her vision, and it was then that Zhang Yuanying realized Wang Longhu’s intention.
"Illusion?" Zhang Yuanying asked Wang Longhu.
"There’s sothing strange about this place; we need to be careful. Jiang Tianzhen isn’t here. I think he might have been caught in an illusion and wandered off sowhere unknowingly."
Wang Longhu cautioned, then stepped onto a nearby stone path.
His keen senses detected so movent deep within a nearby cave. It sounded as if soone was speaking loudly.
...
"Get away! Get away!"
"I am the White Lotus Saint Emperor, how dare you harm !"
Jiang Tianzhen frantically dashed through the stone cave path, his speed was incredible, occasionally glancing back.
It seed sothing was chasing him from behind.
As he ran, Jiang Tianzhen continuously shouted in anger.
But there was no response from behind.
Not far away, in a stone cave high up, a crouched figure silently watched Jiang Tianzhen pass by below.
Its large yellow eyes, like copper bells, were full of mockery, looking as if it were studying its prey.
As Jiang Tianzhen was about to disappear at the end of the passage, that figure suddenly moved.
With astonishing speed, it lunged towards Jiang Tianzhen’s back, even letting out an excited roar.
’Oooh ee oh! Oooh ee oh!’
It was an adult-sized black gorilla, its claws as sharp as a tiger’s, striking towards Jiang Tianzhen’s back.
"Beast!" Jiang Tianzhen turned around, pointing with a finger.
A gang sword instantly pierced through the darkness, from four or five feet away, drilling through the gorilla’s forehead.
This action, however, seed to set off an explosive chain reaction, as a large number of black gorillas surged out of the surrounding stone caves.
They charged madly at Jiang Tianzhen, roaring with primal fury.
Jiang Tianzhen fired his fingers continuously, sweeping across them.
In the face of his endless barrage of gang swords, one gorilla after another fell, soon forming several heaps of gorilla corpses on the ground.
When the heart of the last gorilla was penetrated by a gang sword, the area fell completely silent.
Drenched in sweat, gasping for breath, Jiang Tianzhen laughed loudly, "A bunch of beasts, as if you could harm my imperial body."
He caught his breath and continued walking forward with arrogance.
Shortly after.
Following the source of the sound, Wang Longhu and Zhang Yuanying swiftly arrived at a stone cave path.
Strangely, for so reason, several heaps of straw figures were piled up here.
These straw figures had limbs and joints tied with ropes, with a lot of black hair bound to them.
More importantly, each of these straw figures had round holes on their bodies.
Wang Longhu, having fought Jiang Tianzhen, knew this was the work of the White Lotus Thirty-Six Qi Swords.
"Jiang Tianzhen used gang swords to destroy so many straw figures; his stamina must be greatly depleted. This guy is truly deeply caught in an illusion," Wang Longhu remarked admiringly as he picked up a straw figure.
Just like frequent use of the Dark Force, which can exhaust a Martial Artist’s stamina and energy.
It’s the sa for a Gang Qi Grandmaster; overuse of gang qi greatly decreases their stamina.
Over ti, their power would fall into decline, and encountering an enemy then could an life-threatening danger.
"Do you think the Emperor Eritus will be alright?" Zhang Yuanying anxiously asked Wang Longhu, holding onto his sleeve.
To the faction she belonged to, Jiang Tianzhen was their pillar of support.
If Jiang Tianzhen died, they would completely lose the chance to compete with Jiang Xuanhe for legitimacy of the White Lotus Society.
Because the White Lotus Saint Emperor had always been a male mber of the Jiang family, and the matriarch has only one daughter, Jiang Yu, who could never beco the White Lotus Saint Emperor, no matter what.
"How would I know? This place is strange; there’s a chance all of us could die here. Instead of worrying about others, you should worry more about yourself." Wang Longhu replied indifferently.
Zhang Yuanying’s expression was very conflicted, but she felt powerless. At this mont, she could only cling to Wang Longhu, relying on his strength to protect her life.
As for Jiang Tianzhen’s side, she was genuinely helpless and could only silently wish in her heart that the Emperor Eritus would be safe.
To return alive to the White Lotus Society headquarters, kill that treacherous Jiang Xuanhe, and regain control of the White Lotus Society.
...
Deep within the mountain belly.
The old eunuch who had previously been by Jiang Xuanhe’s side was here now.
He looked respectfully at an elder on a stone platform not far away.
The elder was entirely wrapped in an animal hide blanket, even wearing an animal hide mask on his face, giving off an unspeakable eeriness.
"Duke, our opportunity has finally arrived. Now, the inside of the White Lotus Society is in chaos, with Jiang Xuanhe and Jiang Tianzhen of the Jiang family at odds, and everything is tilting in our favor."
"How is Xiaojing’Er doing outside now?" the elder asked hoarsely from under the animal hide blanket.
His voice sounded as if half his body were in a coffin, as if a slight breeze could turn him to dust.
The old eunuch shook his head in sorrow, "That beast Jiang Xuanhe, who is no better than a pig or dog, not only killed Mistress’s child, but also put a bomb in the stillborn, forcing Mistress to be with it day and night,
confined on a mosquito-infested island surrounded by water, living a life worse than death. I see it with my own eyes, and it pains my heart."
"Jiang Tianzhen, Jiang Xuanhe, to reduce my Li family to such a state, it’s an utter disgrace. I, Li Qionghao, will ensure the Jiang family pays for their blood-debt, ending their line utterly!!!"
The elder trembled all over, tears stread down the eyes of his mask.
He raised his head, shouting in anger, his voice echoing in the mountain belly, shaking the mountain, causing debris to fall.
It was as if an earthquake had happened, as the old eunuch struggled to keep his balance and not fall to the ground disgracefully.
