Their eyes met in an instant.
Both were taken aback.
Then one regained his composure, while the other grew wary, as though facing a formidable enemy.
"Who are you?"
The man opposite him asked.
Li Yun smiled faintly. "Who I am doesn't matter. What matters is whether you obtained the Illusory World Book."
The man's expression changed at once. Li Yun had clearly struck a nerve, but he still played dumb.
"What Illusory World Book?"
"I don't know. Never heard of it... If there's nothing else, I'll be going."
He made to vanish on the spot.
But just as he was about to teleport away, darkness swallowed his vision. In a daze, he felt as though a terrifying canopy of sky were descending over him.
By the time he came to his senses and light returned to his eyes, he found that Li Yun had forcibly dragged him into a Secret Realm.

"Bastards..."
"You actually sneaked into our Cangming Secret Realm to steal..."
Surrounded by those seventeen or eighteen Sages and their near-murderous glares, Li Yun remained unfazed. The other man, however, had broken out in beads of cold sweat.
"It was him... It was all him!!"
"He put me up to it! I was forced! If he hadn't threatened me, how would I have dared steal a treasure from the Azure Abyss Divine Court..."
The man was cunning. Seeing how badly things had turned, he immediately dumped the blame on Li Yun.
At the same time, he pulled out three ancient-looking pages and threw them forward.
Li Yun's sharp eyes recognized them at once: they were missing pages of the Illusory World
