Before you see him, you hear his voice.
The opponent pushed his way through the crowd to the front. Perhaps because of the angle of view, he thought he would be at a disadvantage in the conversation, so he leaped and flipped onto the platform with one hand.
At this moment, a man stood with his sword behind his back, facing the Azure Dragon.
Azure Dragon frowned. "He Piaojian... even if it's a privilege, your behavior has gone too far."
He Piaojian turned his arm, the blade facing Azure Dragon: "Personal action, not representative of [Eight Trigrams]."
"Presumptuous!"
The Azure Dragon stomped its foot on the ground, raising a cloud of dust. In an instant, lifelike creatures emerged from the dust.
"If you harbor someone who has committed heinous crimes, even the Qian Heavens themselves cannot protect you!"
"I'm not covering it up, I just think there's something fishy about this." He swung his sword at the creatures, which, despite being cleaved into pieces, reassembled themselves unharmed. "You're convicting me based on this attack? Well, I'll fight for my life too."
"A glimmer of hope?" Azure Dragon smiled calmly, and layers of the Illusion Realm appeared before He Piaojian's eyes. "Why bother? Perhaps the truth is even more cruel."
This is a dream created by the Azure Dragon, so whatever the Azure Dragon wants them to see, they will only see.
He Piaojian saw the various clues that led Azure Dragon to determine Fan Daoyi's crimes.
In the short span of reading, trust and ideals crumbled instantly.
He unconsciously tightened his grip on the sword.
Perhaps... this is the truth?
No, that's absolutely impossible!
He held firm to his conviction and cleaved through the clouds with a single sword strike. The evidence vanished, revealing the cold, stern face of the Azure Dragon.
The fictional Azure Dragon has truly become enraged.
You want evidence? I'll give it to you. You want to uncover the truth of the trial? You've destroyed it. Such a provocation against his authority is simply intolerable.
In the tense atmosphere, both sides adopted offensive stances.
Just as Azure Dragon was about to teach them a lesson, several more discordant voices rang out.
"Damn, Sword Control... flying on Sword Control is awesome, huh? Why are you flying so fast all by yourself? Didn't you even try to help me out?"
Li Fire spreads its fiery wings, grasping Gen Mountain and Zhen Thunder in its left and right hands respectively, with Xun Wind acting as a pendant, holding Zhen Thunder's leg.
With Li Fire, Li Huo sent them plummeting from the sky.
The Zhen Thunder Gen Mountain, combined with the body's functions and the Xun Wind reaction of the mountain, created a stylish and agile entrance, landing steadily on the high platform.
As for Xun Wind, who is simple-minded and physically disabled, he wished everyone a Happy New Year in advance.
Xun Wind covered his face, too ashamed to face the crowd.
Zhen Thunder, standing with his hands on his hips in a contorted pose, suddenly smelled a burnt odor.
He noticed that everyone's gaze had shifted upwards, focusing on what was above him, and he looked around curiously as well.
Seeing nothing unusual, but feeling a burning sensation on the top of my head, I found it very strange and reached out to touch it.
It seems a little hot.
Hiss...
"Holy crap, my hair's on fire!"
An electric arc surged from his palm, meeting the flames.
Everyone was surprised and immediately distanced themselves from him.
Bang!
With a deafening roar, Zhen Thunder exhaled a wisp of black smoke. His disfigured black face and charred, afro-covered head blended together harmoniously.
The scene fell silent instantly; everyone stood frozen in place, their minds blank with embarrassment.
"Help... please help me..."
Stunned by the explosion, Zhen Thunder's last conscious thought was to reach out and call out before collapsing to the ground.
Azure Dragon blinked, frozen in place, staring at these people with some uncertainty.
No, are they here to be funny?
A ball of water rose into view and floated above the Zhen Thunder.
The water sphere dispersed after being aligned with the target. The black ash was removed, the face returned to normal, and consciousness was restored.
Kan Water Shui walked up to the platform, supporting himself on one thigh with one hand and stretching the other towards Zhen Thunder.
These guys are unreliable; they don't bring any support in team fights, they're all carries!
Kun Earth and Qian Heaven knew the truth. Such a large-scale Illusion Realm was unlikely to affect those in the know, so they did not act according to their true feelings.
They simply observed from a distance in the crowd, cooperating with Azure Dragon's performance to make it impossible for others to distinguish between the real and the fake.
"You..." Azure Dragon glared at them angrily.
"This matter absolutely cannot be related to Dao Yi."
These words were spoken by Xun Wind, and because of his abilities, his words are generally highly credible.
However, instead of providing evidence for the incident, he confirmed it. "Although, Intuition, there is Dao Yi's shadow."
Azure Dragon sneered, "What, are you refuting your own abilities? You need to understand that if you succeed in identifying it today, we will question your Intuition abilities from now on."
"[Abandon the brain, Intuition], that's something you always say. Are you going to argue with that too!?"
Xun Wind took a deep breath, stepped forward, stood in front of the [Eight Trigrams] group, and loudly declared, "Yes, I am questioning my own abilities!"
When Fan Daoyi was arrested, he dared not seek the truth. He unconditionally trusted his Intuition, and all his decisions were made Intuition it.
He was afraid, afraid of the truth, afraid that Fan Daoyi really had orchestrated it.
Knowing full well that this was impossible, from Fan Daoyi's perspective, he would not expose himself at a crucial moment, attack the Azure Dragon, and put himself in a passive position.
But... does someone with Intuition need to think for himself?
In the end, he activated his ability and consulted his Intuition.
Upon receiving the feedback, he was at a loss for words.
Abandon your brain, Intuition, and discover the truth...
Xun Wind heard the noisy sounds from He Piaojian outside, and he trusted Fan Daoyi unconditionally.
Li Fire, Zhen Thunder, and Gen Mountain were also among them, and even Kan Water was among them.
After all, Dao Yi was simply too perfect for them. Whether it was the experiments on Kan Water, the strategies of Qian Heaven and the others, or the summary of their battles, they could all find a place in it.
He helped Qian Heaven with management, provided guidance to He Piaojian and the others, sometimes played games with Li Fire, carefully tasted everyone's food and gave them good praise, and even took on troublesome tasks pushed to him from outside. He worked hard without complaint and asked for nothing in return.
Even among the scattered members, the relationships became closer. Perhaps they shared common topics and no longer scattered and immersed themselves in the Guixu. He, the last to join, became the final piece of the [Eight Trigrams] puzzle, a drop of harmonizing agent.
In a daze, Xun Wind recalled the words Fan Daoyi had said when he first joined the group.
Don't rely too much on acquired abilities; they are ultimately not your own.
Yes.
Xun Wind, through self-reflection and abandoning Intuition thinking, will react abnormally.
Intuition is given by Guixu, so will Guixu provide feedback and make modifications, offering a future development that benefits Guixu?
For example, what about the prediction of Fan Daoyi's actions this time?
This was the first time he questioned his own abilities.
This was also the first time he made this announcement in front of everyone.
"I question my own abilities; the idea of Guixu is influencing me!"
Xun Wind shouted again, and He Piaojian and Zhen Thunder stepped forward to stand beside Xun Wind, Li Fire stood high in the sky. Gen Mountain and Kan Water were a little behind, their eyes also fixed on Azure Dragon.
The events unfolding within the Illusion Realm were brought to the outside world's attention. Azure Dragon, observing the clouds and mist, listened to Xun Wind's words in silence for a moment.
After a long silence, he whispered to Fan Daoyi, "The Illusion Realm reveals their truest thoughts. It seems you are an indispensable part of their lives."
Fan Daoyi crossed his arms and watched silently. Finally, he sighed and closed his eyes.
"I see."
"What do you know?"
Fan Daoyi hesitated, the words "Guixu Nothingness" lingering on his lips. After a long pause, he finally uttered, "Return... to the Four Fiends Cult's goal."
