The resurrection of the handyman alarmed Cong Yun and the others.
People came upon hearing the news.
This included some soldiers from the Gu Xuan City.
These people quickly surrounded the courtyard, making it completely impassable.
Xie Feng grasped the hand of the handyman, his gaze firm. "Don't be afraid, tell me what you've seen and experienced!"
The handyman, still shaken and traumatized, stammered, "I... I don't know! It was a ghost! A white ghost! As soon as it came over, I was seriously injured, and then I lost consciousness!"
Xie Feng frowned. "Is there anything else?"
The handyman thought carefully for a while before saying, "That ghost went towards several more tents, and a white vortex appeared, abducting everyone inside!"
"White ghost, vortex, what is this?" Cong Yun wondered.
"Never heard of it!" Dao Hong shook his head in confusion.
"I know who it is! This person, to be precise, is not human, but a being skilled at manipulating illusions!"
Xie Feng stood up, his expression serious.
The Dao of Illusion!
It must be this guy!
Back in the camp of the Heavenly Gu Emperor Python Race, he wanted to take action against Xie Feng, but he backed down because of Little Sword's outburst.
Has his target shifted again...?
Cong Yun asked, "Sect Leader Xie, who is this person you speak of?"
Xie Feng said, " The Dao of Illusion! I've dealt with him before. He's incredibly powerful. If he were to make a move, let alone two hundred Taiyin Imperial Dragon, even two million wouldn't be enough!"
Dao Hong said, "How come such a powerful figure is not listed on the Heavenly Ranking?"
"Because of him, he's even more awesome than the Heavenly Ranking!"
"..."
Everyone fell silent!
An existence even more powerful than the Heavenly Ranking —how terrifying!
Sensing the tense and serious atmosphere, Xie Feng smiled and said, "However, he can't beat me!"
Cong Yun said, "To be able to fight him without serious injury, Sect Leader Xie must be even stronger! With you here, we feel very safe."
She knew that Xie Feng's strength could not be judged by ordinary standards, and that he was not one to boast. So when Xie Feng was so firm and confident, she chose to believe him without hesitation.
Xie Feng stroked his chin and muttered to himself, "But I have a question. If the Dao of Illusion came to launch a sneak attack, they could have easily destroyed the entire Gu Xuan City. But they didn't do that; instead, they kidnapped two hundred soldiers. There must be a deeper reason behind this..."
Cong Yun and others also fell into thought.
Xie Feng suddenly turned his head and looked at Cong Yun, "Perhaps, what he wants is something from the Taiyin Imperial Dragon!"
" The Taiyin Imperial Dragon's blood can be used in medicine, its flesh can be used to make poisons, and it can also be made into pills to enhance cultivation. Its hide can be used to make armor, and it possesses formidable combat power... It can be said that many forces in the Origin Realm are eyeing our race covetously! This is why we demand that every member of our race be found alive or dead!"
Cong Yun's expression gradually turned serious.
Xie Feng nodded and said, "I have three reasonable suspicions. First, the Dao of Illusion wants to take hostages to use as bargaining chips in future battles against you! Second, he's working for someone else, asking the Taiyin Imperial Dragon to do some things! Third, he's provoking you, trying to provoke you into war with the Alliance!"
After listening to this analysis, Cong Yun asked, "So, which scenario do you think is more likely?"
"The second one!"
Is it because he only arrests and doesn't kill?
"Um!"
Xie Feng nodded firmly.
Ze Ling asked curiously, "How do you know he only captures and doesn't kill?"
Xie Feng said, "If he wanted to kill, he wouldn't have gone to the trouble of using a vortex to sweep people away; he would have killed them on the spot!"
Ze Ling nodded. "Oh, I understand."
Even so, Xie Feng still couldn't understand one thing.
That is...
What does the Dao of Illusion need these Taiyin Imperial Dragon for?
Alchemy?
Drive?
What conspiracy lies behind this?
I thought about it for a while, but I couldn't figure it out. My head was hurting, so I decided to stop thinking about it
Afterwards, the group rested in the Gu Xuan City.
It was midnight.
Xie Feng came out of his room and took a walk along an underground river in the city. Although the willow branches were withered and yellow in winter, they were still slender and supple, hanging over the deep river surface, creating a desolate and lonely scene.
Xie Feng stood silently under the willow tree, feeling the cold wind.
He was thinking about the question he had just asked again.
"Actually, there's another way to quickly and accurately find out why Dao of Illusion did what he did. That is... to just ask him directly!"
"But where is he? I don't know. And this approach is a bit dangerous..."
Xie Feng pondered.
"You're looking for me?" At that moment, a phantom appeared before him, slowly approaching on the water, and met Xie Feng's gaze.
The Dao of Illusion!
Xie Feng raised an eyebrow. "Speak of the Cao Cao Cao, and he appears. You're quite swift."
Dao of Illusion scoffed, "Who is Cao Cao? Never heard of him! I should be more powerful than him!"
Xie Feng: "..."
As the Dao of Illusion led forward, a sudden surge of killing intent rose in the air!
He stared intently at Xie Feng, and gradually, a pair of sharp, eagle-like eyes and a mouth emerged from the previously blurry features.
He extended his sharp claws. " Xie Feng, I know your name, and I know your physique— the Chaos No-Dao Physique, right?"
Xie Feng slowly put his right hand behind his back, his eyes showing some wariness!
"I need your Chaos Physique, so today, I will kill you!"
The Dao of Illusion surged with murderous intent and charged straight at him.
Xie Feng said coldly, "You're the one who captured the two hundred Taiyin Imperial Dragon of Gu Xuan City!"
"That's right!"
"At first I didn't understand why you were arresting them, but now I think it's a bit clearer!"
Xie Feng said in a deep voice.
Dao of Illusion paused, then asked with interest, "I'm quite interested in this topic. Tell me, what do you know?"
The reason he was so unhurried was that Xie Feng was no match for him, so he had nothing to fear.
The reason he left last time wasn't because he was afraid of Little Sword, but because he was new to the area and had no experience in assassination.
Today is different!
After a few days of training, he's already a formidable assassin!
Xie Feng stared at the Dao of Illusion, as if trying to pierce through its illusory body. "If I'm not mistaken, you work for Gu Xinglan, right? You captured two hundred Taiyin Imperial Dragon because Gu Xinglan needs their powerful blood to resurrect a Demon King!"
Dao of Illusion laughed, "What you said is both right and wrong. You only know Gu Xinglan, but in fact, she is not the only one who wants to strengthen her bloodline power!"
Xie Feng frowned slightly.
Of course, Dao of Illusion wouldn't tell Xie Feng that he had two people backing him!
A Gu Xinglan!
One is Cheng Hao!
One person needs an extremely yin constitution, and the other needs a powerful bloodline!
The power of the Taiyin Imperial Dragon's bloodline is exactly what Cheng Hao needs.
Both Cheng Hao and Gu Xinglan wanted Xie Feng's Chaos Physique. In the end, Cheng Hao took a blow and gave up the Chaos Physique.
The superior of the Dao of Illusion is the Heavenly Soul Venerable. The Heavenly Soul Venerable works with Gu Xinglan and Cheng Hao. In other words, the Dao of Illusion is also an ally!
He unleashed his Great Thousand Illusion Power and attacked Xie Feng!
brush!
The Dark Ink Fan spun open!
