A Supreme Yin illusion array trapped the mysterious visitor; scarlet fire left a Nuo mask amid the remains

Within an unnamed valley.

Chen Shuangbai did not immediately agree, and his expression did not change, but a wave of emotion was rising in his heart.

"Leaked?"

Very few people within the sect know of the existence of the [ Azure Yi Mystic Cauldron ].

Aside from Chen Shuangbai, True Lord Qingchen, and Master Yi Chongyue, the only people most likely to know of its existence are True Person Mei and True Person Bo.

But these two True Person are pillars of the Jade Spring Sect; how could we reveal this to outsiders?

etc!

In [ Cavern Abyss Heaven ], those demon kings knew that Chen Shuangbai had seized this treasure cauldron, but they didn't know its name or its wondrous uses... So how did this person know all this?

Chen Shuangbai raced, and she quickly understood—

"Fellow Daoist, where did you hear this rumor?"

Chen Shuangbai spread his hands and laughed, "Although my Jade Spring Sect is a major sect in Dao of Alchemy, and we have at least eight hundred or a thousand Pill Furnace Pill Cauldron, we have never heard of such a thing as the Azure Yi Mystic Cauldron... Could it be that you are trying to deceive me, fellow Daoist?"

Upon hearing this, the masked man was not angry, but chuckled softly and said, " True Person Xuhong, this is meaningless. Don't you want your second disciple to return to your side safely?"

Chen Shuangbai was immediately certain.

Someone within the sect must have leaked it!

"Since you know that my Jade Spring Sect possesses the [ Azure Yi Mystic Cauldron ], you must also know its origin."

"Even within my sect, very few people know of this item's existence. For you to be able to identify it so readily, while remaining concealed and masked..."

He paused, his gaze sharpening. "It was someone within my Jade Spring Sect who tipped you off."

The masked man chuckled softly, neither confirming nor denying, and simply said leisurely, " True Person, there's no need to guess my source."

"I only have one question for you, True Person: will you proceed with this deal, or not?"

Chen Shuangbai stared intently at the person in front of her.

He didn't say a word, but a faint smile gradually appeared at the corners of his mouth.

The masked man's eyes narrowed, and his tone turned slightly unfriendly and cold, "Is the True Person planning to abandon a disciple?"

A dazzling light rose from the body of the True Person Xuhong before him. The masked man was suddenly startled. With a flick of his sleeve, streaks of mysterious light floated out and transformed into dozens of dark green, shimmering blades. He shouted sharply, "Venerable True Person, do you really want to cause trouble for me?"

But as soon as he finished speaking, Chen Shuangbai in front of him had already disappeared.

The scene before my eyes gradually faded away.

Where else are there valleys?

The world before my eyes shattered like a broken mirror.

The valley, the grand formation, the vegetation—everything vanished in an instant, replaced by a vast, white-gold expanse of empty space.

He looked down and realized that what he was standing on was not solid ground at all, but endless white sand. Within the sand, there were endless silver runes that meandered and moved like living things, weaving together a huge illusionary magic realm.

The masked man was immediately terrified.

Illusion?

when?

An even more dazzling Divine Ability light erupted from his body, and dark green light emerged from the blade, creating more brilliant patterns. In the blink of an eye, a blade array stood up, protecting him.

"Fellow Xuhong, are you truly willing to disregard your disciple's life?"

The masked man shouted sternly.

A soft breathing sound reached his ear. He turned sharply, but saw nothing. Suddenly, another sound came from ahead. He turned sharply again and saw a person standing in front of him—

It was Chen Shuangbai.

Chen Shuangbai remained calm, as if she hadn't moved an inch from beginning to end.

A faint silvery-white glow swirled around him, and two bright moons seemed to slowly rotate within his eyes. Behind him, four lunar phases rotated, condensing into a round, icy halo, radiating the Grand Yin of the moon.

"Come on."

Chen Shuangbai shone brightly as she said indifferently, "If Yazhen were truly in your hands, you should have brought her to me to threaten me... You only have a scrap of clothing; who knows where you got it from?"

The masked figure stiffened slightly, and a low, complex sigh came from beneath the mask. "The outside world all says that you, the Jade Spring Dao Child, possess unpredictable Supreme Yin Sword Technique Techniques, but now it seems... they've overlooked your mastery of illusion."

Chen Shuangbai stepped forward slowly, her gaze calm yet carrying an undeniable air of authority. "Now, we can talk again..."

But before he could finish speaking, the masked man in front of him suddenly sprang up.

The dozens of dark green blades instantly transformed into dozens of dark green magpies. The magpies took flight, flashing with iridescent light representing excruciating pain, forming a dense, impenetrable net of blades that sliced through this illusory world hundreds of times in an instant, shattering the entire illusory realm into pieces!

Chen Shuangbai stood amidst the net of flashing blades, neither dodging nor avoiding, letting the dark green blade light strike his body.

But when these blades slashed through his body, they only created slight ripples, like the moon reflected in water or a flower in a mirror, as if he didn't exist in this space at all.

"It's useless."

Chen Shuangbai's voice came from all directions, as if the entire world was speaking, "You are already deeply trapped in my illusion. Everything you see, hear, and feel is merely what I have made you perceive."

"Even if you shatter this world a thousand times, ten thousand times, you'll only be wasting your Law Power in my illusion."

The masked figure finally stopped moving.

He stood there, his eyes beneath the mask fixed on Chen Shuangbai, who was draped in silver light. After a long while, he slowly sighed and said, "This time, I admit defeat."

"However, True Person Xuhong... the one who came down to find you is not someone as lowly as me."

After saying that, he let out a low laugh, and then, in front of Chen Shuangbai, a layer of peach-pink flames suddenly rose from his body.

This fire is not as domineering as the [ Cinnabar Purple Profound Fire ], nor as spiritually connected as the [ Heaven Beyond Heart Fire ], but once ignited, it spreads rapidly, seemingly scorching the soul.

The crimson flames landed on the white sand and spread rapidly, but Chen Shuangbai had no mind to maintain this illusionary magic realm anymore. Instead, she raised her hand to grab it, as if to stop the masked man's self-immolation.

The icy halo formed by the four phases of the moon behind him shone brightly, yet it still managed to leave only half of the opponent's Nuo mask. The rest was reduced to ashes in the peach-colored flames.

Chen Shuangbai stepped forward, took the half of the Nuo mask in his palm, and the Grand Yin spread upward from the point of contact, forcibly leaving the last bit of peach-colored flame, which condensed into a piece of ice crystal amber and landed in his other hand.

"So this decisive action was just an avatar."
