Illusion Shattered, Part Two

Zhang Rongfang sped up, slamming his shoulder into whatever he encountered.

Bang! A large chunk of rock was smashed off the edge by him, flying off and rolling into the stream.

Zhang Rongfang tapped the ground several times before finally managing to steady himself.

He opened his eyes and looked back.

The Rock Cave was filled with a large number of White Stone.

The rocks, like gushing water, or living things, quickly filled the entire Rock Cave from the inside out.

Xue Tong stood to one side, shaking his head slightly.

"You failed. Strange, what did you encounter inside? How could even the Rock Cave Statue have collapsed?"

He looked at Zhang Rongfang.

"Logically speaking, with me watching over you, you shouldn't be too much of a problem. As long as you suppress your fear, you should be able to shatter the Statue in a few moves and get out safely."

"Senior, I didn't encounter Statue inside, but I did encounter a person!" Zhang Rongfang approached and quickly explained his situation.

"A person? And the body is still soft?" Xue Tong looked surprised, clearly having never encountered such a situation before.

"When I went in back then, I encountered the same Golden Divine Statue," he said, completely baffled.

"Senior, what do we do now?" Zhang Rongfang recalled the situation just now and felt that things were getting worse.

He didn't know where this feeling came from, but inexplicably, it just welled up inside him.

"No rush. There's another way. Come with me." Xue Tong carefully examined Zhang Rongfang.

He changed direction and continued forward, leaning against the rock face.

Zhang Rongfang followed closely behind.

Looking back at the Rock Cave that had just collapsed, Rock Cave had mysteriously vanished in the blink of an eye.

"How many people did you bring here?" Xue Tong suddenly asked.

"Approximately sixteen people."

"Are they all important?"

"Of course! They came in for me. I should be responsible for them!" Zhang Rongfang replied in a deep voice.

"If someone wants to hurt them?"

"Then he must die!" Zhang Rongfang declared resolutely. "Anyone who dares to touch my man, I'll make him Light Sky Lanterns!"

"You are a good leader, but not a good one," Xue Tong sighed.

"I never wanted to be a leader," Zhang Rongfang replied.

"In that case, I understand," Xue Tong said. "From now on, if you don't want your men to die or be injured, then control yourself and don't kill anyone. You must not kill anyone!"

"Anyone?"

"Yes, anyone you meet here could become your subordinate," Xue Tong replied as he walked.

"Now, I'm going to tell you a secret that I've figured out myself. A secret about these Gods and Buddhas. You promise me you won't tell anyone else."

"Okay! I swear, I will never spread this to anyone!" Zhang Rongfang swore as readily as eating or drinking.

"Your oath is too casual. I suppose you do this often?" Xue Tong glanced at him and shook his head.

I, Zhang Rongfang, still wanted to defend myself.

"No need to say more. If you were to tell anyone about this, firstly, no one would believe you. Secondly, once it's leaked, every sect in the world would consider you a target for elimination. Think it over carefully," Xue Tong replied.

Zhang Rongfang's heart skipped a beat, realizing that this secret was no small matter.

Do you still want to hear it?

"Of course," Zhang Rongfang said decisively. If he were afraid, he wouldn't have ended up like this.

In the beginning, wouldn't it have been nice to find a secluded place near Qinghe Temple, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and live a good life there?

Why bother going out and making your way in the world?

"I'm starting to like you a little," Xue Tong sighed; he always liked to sigh.

It seems there are too many things on my mind that I can't say or do.

When one is powerless or unable to do something, one tends to sigh.

"Please speak, senior. I am all ears," Zhang Rongfang urged.

The longer the delay, the more likely his men will be killed or injured.

So we need to hurry!

"There are many Gods and Buddhas in the world today, which are generally divided into two categories: the Manifest God and the Secret God."

Manifest God to the deity worshipped by legitimate religious sects that are recognized by the Ling Ting and allowed to openly preach.

The Secret God is the deity worshipped in Secret Teaching.

The difference is that one is legal, and the other is illegal.

Xue Tong gave an overall introduction.

"What we are encountering now is the Secret God, and a rather special kind of Secret God at that."

"And you must remember that no matter what kind of gods they are, they all have one thing in common."

"That is immortality!"

"Undying?" Zhang Rongfang suddenly recalled the many Worship God Warriors he had killed and absorbed. "Is he similar to those Worship God Warriors?"

"Those who are not gods or Gods and Buddhas are absolutely immortal, unlike those who Worship God and warriors. They can only be forgotten, lost in some corner, and gradually fall into silence. But they will not die," Xue Tong replied.

"Furthermore, let me tell you a secret: the mystery of immortality through worshipping Worship God that the Eastern Sect was so desperately searching for was actually divided into three parts, each kept in Three Secret Caches."

"You even know this?!" Zhang Rongfang was shocked.

"Of course. These three are here." Xue Tong suddenly stopped and stood still, looking up at the front.

Zhang Rongfang also stopped and looked up ahead.

Ahead lay a lush meadow.

A Brown Cabin is clearly visible on the grass.

The wooden house has two windows and a chimney.

It was exactly the same as the wooden house Zhang Rongfang had seen before.

"Now, walk over there, don't rush, walk slowly. Here, you need to slow down and not be impatient or anxious. Being impatient here will only prevent you from ever getting close to the cabin."

"Once you walk over there, you can touch any part of the wooden house."

"Then you can escape this cloud of Mist of Doubt," Xue Tong explained.

"I understand!" Zhang Rongfang nodded and moved forward, taking steps to get closer.

"Oh right, I haven't told you about the secrets of Gods and Buddhas yet, have I?" Xue Tong suddenly spoke again, lowering his voice.

"Yes," Zhang Rongfang replied.

"Now, I'll tell you this secret. It's this: all the warriors Worship God Gods and Buddhas are not actually..."

Squeak.

Suddenly, the door of the wooden house opened automatically.

The sound of the door opening interrupted Xue Tong's words.

Inside the door, a beautiful woman with fair skin and a white dress slowly looked at Xue Tong and Zhang Rongfang.

"It's coming!" Xue Tong paused, his tone becoming urgent. "Now, I'll buy you some time. I'll draw its attention, and you go around to the side, making sure it doesn't see you."

Remember, you absolutely must not let it see you, otherwise you'll never be able to touch the cabin!

"Good!" Zhang Rongfang noticed that the White Dress Woman was not looking at him, but at Xue Tong.

He felt a sense of relief and walked around to the other side, to the back of the wooden house, and quietly approached it.

After walking a short distance, Zhang Rongfang suddenly felt something was wrong.

From the edge of the cabin, he saw a glimpse of a white dress approaching him.

He immediately started spinning around the wooden house.

He was located only about 100 meters away from the wooden house.

To cover that distance, Zhang Rongfang only needs to blink twice.

After doing some mental calculations...

After bypassing the woman, Zhang Rongfang immediately charged forward without hesitation.

Thud! He bent low, skimming the ground, and sped toward the wooden house.

Fifty meters! Thirty meters! Ten meters!

One meter!!

Zhang Rongfang reached out and touched the brown exterior wall of the wooden house.

Thud! Just then, a hand suddenly emerged from the soil below him and grabbed his wrist tightly.

The arm was pale and hard, covered in rotten mold, but it was incredibly strong.

The immense force instantly stopped Zhang Rongfang's charging body.

"Almost, you broke free and touched it!!" Xue Tong's voice came from behind.

Bang.

Zhang Rongfang's arm swelled up, reaching its Limit State. He forcefully broke free from the other person's grip, his five fingers pointing forward as he fiercely clawed at the wall of the wooden house.

Suddenly another arm emerged from the soil and gripped his forearm tightly.

An immense force surged forth, a terrifying power even more exaggerated than that of the previous Worship God Grandmaster.

Zhang Rongfang didn't even have time to react before he was thrown high into the air and flew dozens of meters backward.

With a thud, he fell heavily onto the stream bank, right to the right of where Xue Tong was standing.

"What's going on?! My calculations shouldn't be wrong!! How come there are two hands?"

Xue Tong's expression was solemn, and his hands quickly formed various hand seals and hand gestures, as if he was calculating something in some way.

He hadn't encountered a situation like this in many years. Wish Woman's condition would remain stable.

He used this method to send away people who had accidentally entered this place before.

But now, "It seems your method won't work, senior."

Zhang Rongfang was standing to the side, stood up from the ground.

He lowered his head, his long hair scattered and obscuring his face.

"Instead of going through all that trouble, I'll do it myself!!"

A loud bang.

The soil beneath Zhang Rongfang's feet exploded.

His body shot out, charging straight towards the wooden house once again.

"Don't do anything reckless! The people you're killing right now are all your own subordinates!!" Xue Tong's expression changed slightly as he shouted a warning from behind.

Zhang Rongfang looked at the gentle-looking White Dress Woman in front of the wooden house, then rushed forward with lightning speed, his expression gradually turning ferocious.

I don't kill people!

"Kill it!!"

Suddenly, when he was still ten meters away from the wooden house, Lightning grabbed his waist bag from behind and slammed it forward.

Whoosh! A red shadow suddenly flew out and shot straight at the wooden house.

At the same time, Zhang Rongfang roared and his body rapidly expanded, suddenly soaring from over two meters to three meters.

He swung his hand at the woman's head.

His palm was almost as big as the other person's face, like Mount Tai pressing down! Whew!!

A violent gust of wind howled and exploded.

Zhang Rongfang cast a shadow with his palm, which quickly covered the woman's body.

She tilted her head back, still wearing a faint smile.

Swoosh! In an instant, the palm hovered in mid-air.

Below, pale arms burst from the ground, gripping Zhang Rongfang's arms, waist, and shoulders tightly.

The immense force surged in, causing his entire body to stiffen, rendering him completely immobile.

The White Dress Woman raised her arms and gently cupped them towards Zhang Rongfang.

"Now, it's mine."

Just then.

Boom!!

In an instant, the wooden house behind the woman exploded.

Amidst a deafening roar, countless streams of blood erupted from the wooden house, gushing out and coalescing into a gigantic humanoid shape ten meters tall.

Boom! A giant hand of blood descended from the sky and slammed into the woman's location.

With a deafening roar, the woman exploded, the soil shattered, and the rocks turned into powder and sprayed outwards.

The terrifying airflow surged and spread in a circular pattern, blasting everything in its path away.

Monthly passes are being calculated starting today!
