"Had this guy been plotting this from the very beginning?"
Yao Tianhuo gritted her teeth and dispersed the Leaving Fire Blade in her hand. Xiao Yan quickly calmed down as well and spoke in a deep voice.
"Perhaps he never intended to get along with us properly. Elder Tianhuo's earlier massacre of the ferocious beasts probably shocked him too deeply, so even though he knew the gap in strength between you and him was enormous, he still chose not to openly fall out with us and used this method instead."
Xiao Yan frowned, his gaze constantly sweeping the surroundings as he pondered inwardly.
Yao Xiaotian had just said this place was an Illusion Realm created by the Bodhi Ancient Tree? Did that mean the Bodhi Ancient Tree was not here?
Thinking of the illusion in which he had seen Yao Chen die earlier, Xiao Yan could not help but feel his heart tremble. He stepped through the air to a tree trunk, reached out, and touched it. It felt exactly like an ordinary tree, causing Xiao Yan's brows to furrow even tighter.
If this was an Illusion Realm, it was far too realistic.
"Elder Tianhuo, please take me upward."
Xiao Yan looked towards Yao Tianhuo as he spoke. Yao Tianhuo lightly nodded, flashed to Xiao Yan's side, grabbed his arm, and shot rapidly upward with flames burning around her body.
Then something utterly terrifying happened. Yao Tianhuo took Xiao Yan upward for several minutes, yet there was still no sign of them breaking out of the forest. This made Xiao Yan even more certain.
So it really was an Illusion Realm.
Although this forest looked several times taller than ordinary forests from the outside, it could not possibly be so tall that even a Dou Sheng could not fly out
