Everything happened too coincidentally.
Why did Tu Wenheng suddenly appear in front of them?
Moreover, before their arrival, Tu Wenheng had already killed all the swamp Devil Beast in the area and was very familiar with the place.
It's important to understand that in such a dense, illusory fog, perception and sight are limited, and with almost no landmarks, it's very easy to lose your way.
Tu Wenheng's familiarity with the place meant he had been exploring it for a long time.
Furthermore, knowing that the Illusion Realm Core possesses such formidable power, why would he seek cooperation with others, especially cultivators weaker than himself?
Could it be, as Tu Wenheng himself said, that his methods were ineffective against the Illusion Realm Core?
With so many doubts laid bare before him, Mu Fusheng could not possibly believe it.
Therefore, Mu Fusheng had been closely observing Tu Wenheng's every move, and only now did he reveal a slight flaw.
At this moment.
Tu Wenheng wore a seemingly gentle smile, which clashed drastically with his attire.
"What you are seeing now, the Illusion Realm Core, is not real; it is merely an illusion."
The illusion reflects reality, and so realistically?
Everyone was shocked upon hearing this.
"Then how do we obtain or destroy the Illusion Realm Core?" Xu Luo frowned and said, "If we can't find the real Illusion Realm Core."
"It's very simple."
Tu Wenheng pointed a finger at the Illusion Realm Core, and a wisp of black flame transformed into a sharp blade, piercing directly into the core!
Strangely, the Illusion Realm Core did not shatter, and the Black Fire blade did not pass through the other side of the crooked-necked tree.
It was as if it had been absorbed into the Illusion Realm Core.
"This is actually a portal into the inner core of the Illusion Realm Core. Once you step through it, you can enter the core world, where the Illusion Realm Core is located."
Ye Qiubai glanced at Tu Wenheng and said calmly, "If you can't subdue the core, you'll never be able to get out of it and will only be lost inside. Am I right?"
Unexpectedly, Tu Wenheng nodded calmly. "That's true."
"So, you just want to find cannon fodder?"
Tu Wenheng shook his head and said, "I will not force you to go in. There are two conditions to obtain the Illusion Realm Core. First, you must have a strong State of Mind. Second, you must be proficient in the illusionary formation. Otherwise, even if you go in, it will be a waste of time."
"I don't know any formations, so I have no choice but to cooperate with you; otherwise, I won't be able to leave this place."
Mu Fusheng laughed and said, "Are you so sure that someone among them has mastered the illusion array?"
Tu Wenheng shook his head. "It's just a matter of trying our luck. After all, there's an Formation Master Alliance in the Cloud Dream Star Region, so naturally there will be people who master illusion arrays."
Luo Feng and Yun Ze then looked at Xu Luo.
He was a powerful figure in the Formation Master Alliance, second only to the Tower Master in status.
Xu Luo shook his head with a wry smile, "Although I know a little about illusion arrays, I'm far from being proficient in them."
Array masters generally focus their efforts on one specific direction.
Some specialize in killing formations, while others specialize in defensive formations. Still others master functional formations, which enhance cultivation.
A formation master who specializes in illusion formations is actually considered a niche profession among formation masters.
Generally, people will only choose to learn about it.
Tu Wenheng continued, " The Illusion Realm Core should have an extremely powerful effect on array masters, allowing them to incorporate illusionary mist into their illusion arrays."
Has the illusionary mist been incorporated into the illusionary array?
Xu Luo and the others were startled.
If that's true, then the resulting illusion array would be extremely terrifying.
It should be noted that even those at the Peak God Emperor Realm could not withstand it for long!
"Without an Illusion Master, the cooperation has to come to an end." Tu Wenheng shook his head regretfully.
At this moment.
Fang Qiong stepped forward, "Let me give it a try."
Ye Qiubai frowned and said, "Don't be impulsive, Junior Brother Fang."
Mu Fusheng also tried to stop him, saying, "Once you enter, if you can't break through the illusion array, you might not be able to get out."
Xiao Hei nodded. "Perhaps there are other ways."
Fang Qiong smiled and said, "This is not only for Little Senior Brother Hei, but also for myself."
He needs strength.
We urgently need strength.
With the great revenge unavenged, food has no taste.
The overwhelming hatred in his heart was like countless silver needles piercing deep within him, impossible to remove, and would cause him waves of pain whenever he thought of it.
Hearing Fang Qiong's firm tone and seeing his resolute eyes.
Ye Qiubai and the other two fell silent involuntarily.
At this point, it would be impolite to offer any further advice.
Should I choose to believe him... or think about how to save Fang Qiong later?
Standing to the side, Xu Luo frowned and asked, "Do you know how to use illusion arrays?"
Of course he had heard that a prodigy had emerged in the Formation Master Alliance these days, namely Fang Qiong.
"If you're not a master of illusion arrays, don't throw your life away and waste your talent," Xu Luo scolded.
Fang Qiong, however, did not listen.
Instead, he walked straight to the crooked tree and glanced at Tu Wenheng.
Tu Wenheng laughed and said, "Let's go in once we're ready."
Fang Qiong nodded slightly, stepped into the core world, and disappeared from the spot with a "whoosh".
Fang Qiong went in without hesitation.
Ye Qiubai looked at Tu Wenheng with a calm expression, but his eyes were filled with surging Sword Intent, like a gathering storm!
"If you're just using us as cannon fodder, or if you have ulterior motives, believe me, you'll regret it."
Xiao Hei, standing to the side, echoed, "If Junior Brother Fang perishes, your fate will be very tragic."
Although it sounds very illogical.
But Fang Qiong is their junior brother, they're family.
Naturally, the bias would lean towards Fang Qiong.
Moreover, what they said was the truth.
Although their master often found fault with them.
But then something really did happen.
Master will surely not let this go.
Just imagine the rage in Master's eyes; with his power, what kind of chaos would he unleash upon this world?
Tu Wenheng shrugged and said, "If I were an illusion array master myself, I wouldn't have let you come. Of course, I understand your feelings; perhaps you don't have the strength to make me regret it."
Luo Feng and the other two agreed with Tu Wenheng's words.
His strength has probably reached the Half-Step Divine Lord Realm...
How could Ye Qiubai and his group possibly be a match for them?
Upon hearing this...
Even Mu Fusheng, who was usually patient and good at hiding his true feelings, said with a stern face, "Perhaps, you can look forward to it."
Upon seeing Mu Fusheng, Tu Wenheng frowned slightly. Although Mu Fusheng's strength appeared to be only at the God King Realm, why did he manage to evoke such a sense of unease in him?
Could it be that the opponent is hiding their true strength?
But with his abilities, surely he could see through his opponent?
