Transmigrated into a heretical cultivator, leading all the villains to ascension.

Chapter 117 Breaking the Illusion

Zhong Hanshang, who had been pushed into a high position by the two of them, shrugged helplessly and said with a wry smile:

"Alright, you two have said everything you need to say. I have no other choice but to agree."

After speaking, he gently waved his slender fingers, and an ancient storage ring flashed with a faint light, revealing a book.

Zhong Hanshang handed the book to Gao Huohuo, his expression calm:

"This is a miscellaneous book that I came across by chance in the library. You can take it to pass the time."

Gao Huohuo smiled as he took the book, opened the cover, and saw the words "Miscellaneous Records of the Cangyun Realm" in large characters.

A hint of joy flashed in his eyes: "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Zhong. I happen to have nothing to do at the moment, so I'll study it here."

After saying that, she found a clean spot, sat down on the ground, and began to read the book with great interest.

Su Ruoyun, on the other side, had already closed her eyes and concentrated, with spiritual energy slowly surging around her, clearly indicating that she had entered a state of cultivation.

Seeing this, Zhong Hanshang also chose a spot to sit cross-legged.

Before long, he was immersed in the tranquil world of cultivation.

Gao Huohuo was engrossed in watching, and when he looked up again, he found that the two people beside him had entered a meditative state, their auras calm and long.

She couldn't help but sigh: Indeed, there is no room for luck on the path to becoming a strong person.

The more outstanding a person is, the more self-discipline is ingrained in their bones, like an instinct.

Unlike myself, who always urges others to be proactive and self-disciplined, when it comes to myself, I always just lie around doing nothing.

On the banks of this underground river, the place where Gao Huohuo, Zhong Hanshang, and Su Ruoyun were located was peaceful and serene.

Completely unaware that the outside world had undergone a dramatic change and descended into chaos.

Chen Wanzhen was anxiously searching for Zhong Hanshang's whereabouts.

They chased him all the way to the entrance of the underground river, but still couldn't find a trace of Zhong Hanshang.

At this point, she didn't care about anything else and immediately shouted at the group of cultivators present, ordering them to help find the person.

To motivate everyone, she even made some serious promises.

She claimed that whoever could find Zhong Hanshang first would receive a rare spiritual item from her.

This order, once issued, was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up a thousand waves.

These cultivators, who usually traveled far and wide in search of opportunities, were instantly filled with excitement.

In an instant, the underground river became bustling with activity as the search for the missing person was in full swing.

Someone was casting a spell on the river. Amidst flashes of light, the river was stirred up into turbulent waves, as if a dragon were churning the water.

Some people dived into the water, darting back and forth like nimble fish, just to find any trace of Zhong Hanshang.

Although everyone knows that Zhong Hanshang is a genius youth of the Qingyun Sect with superb skills.

Most of the cultivators had their doubts, thinking it was unlikely that he would be easily kidnapped by evil cultivators.

However, Chen Wanzhen, being a saintess, spoke earnestly and solemnly, claiming that she had personally witnessed Zhong Hanshang's misfortune.

Furthermore, this is an excellent opportunity to show off one's skills and gain fame in front of the saintess.

With such a wonderful opportunity, how could anyone easily let it pass by?

As a result, even in the illusionary realm that Gao Huohuo had meticulously arranged, several groups of people had recklessly barged in over the past few days.

That day, Gao Huohuo was completely absorbed in the wonderful world of the book.

Suddenly, Xiao Lingzi's urgent cry echoed in my mind:

"Master, something terrible has happened! Someone is trying to break our illusion."

Gao Huohuo was startled by the sudden warning and immediately snapped back to reality, her brows furrowing in displeasure.

He thought to himself: These people really have nothing better to do!

At first, she thought that the crowd had come here to capture evil cultivators and accidentally stumbled upon her own illusion.

Annoyed at being disturbed for no reason, he couldn't contain himself and was about to go out to find out what was going on.

But as soon as she took a step, she suddenly remembered that Zhong Hanshang was still diligently cultivating nearby.

If we rush out now and disturb him, causing his cultivation to go awry, that would be terrible.

Left with no other choice, she could only send Ziying and Xiaolingzi to check the situation.

Before long, Zi Ying sent back a message informing everyone outside that they were searching everywhere for Zhong Hanshang's whereabouts.

Upon learning the reason, Gao Huohuo eagerly pondered whether it would be better to gently pat his shoulder or carefully pat his arm.

As he was struggling with this decision, Zhong Hanshang seemed to sense something and slowly opened his eyes.

With a deep gaze, he immediately noticed Gao Huohuo's hand, which was raised in mid-air, caught in a dilemma, and a mischievous glint flashed in his eyes.

Gao Huohuo felt extremely embarrassed, her cheeks instantly burning up, and she hurriedly hid her hands behind her back.

He chuckled twice, trying to cover up his embarrassment.

"You've finished your cultivation? I was just about to call you when I was going to go out and take a look at that illusion."

Now that you're awake, that's perfect timing. We can go together.

Gao Huohuo and Zhong Hanshang got up quietly and walked towards the fork in the road.

As I approached, I heard a commotion coming from the other side.

“Holy Maiden, an illusion has appeared here. In my opinion, that evil cultivator must be hiding behind this illusion.”

One of the monks spoke with certainty, his words revealing his eagerness to claim credit.

"Open it to me immediately! How dare you kidnap Han Shang right under my nose!"

"I'd like to see just who this person is, to have such audacity!"

Chen Wanzhen's voice was chillingly cold and carried an undeniable authority, clearly indicating that she was extremely angry.

Upon hearing this, Gao Huohuo glanced at Zhong Hanshang with displeasure, and a subtle telepathic message entered Zhong Hanshang's ear:

"Look, look, all this trouble is your doing, and you still dare to say it has nothing to do with this saintess?"

His words carried a hint of sarcasm.

Upon receiving the telepathic message, Zhong Hanshang's face instantly showed a speechless expression, and he inwardly groaned in despair.

He really couldn't understand why this saintess was like a piece of chewing gum, always sticking to him.

He is not a member of the Glazed Tile School, so why is he entangled with her like this?

At that moment, he was also helpless and could only respond telepathically:

“Fellow Daoist Gao, whether you believe it or not, I must reiterate that I have absolutely no connection with this Holy Maiden of the Glazed Tile Sect.”

"Oh?"

Gao Huohuo blinked her bright eyes, a mischievous glint in them, and then teased her through telepathy.

"I understand now. It must be that the Holy Maiden has taken a liking to you and is determined to have some kind of relationship with you."

However, in my opinion, it was a wise move for you not to choose her.

No matter how beautiful she is, she can't compare to Fellow Daoist Su's charm.

I think if you're interested, you might want to consider Fellow Daoist Su.

She is not only stunningly beautiful, but also incredibly powerful, and she is not pretentious or affected.

A woman like this is hard to find even with a lantern.

Upon hearing these words, Zhong Hanshang felt his blood rush to his head, and anger flared up in his heart.

He replied through gritted teeth, "Fellow Daoist Gao, have you finished speaking?"

The most urgent task right now is to come up with a solution, isn't that the most important thing?

Gao Huohuo, however, acted as if nothing had happened, casually waving her hand and transmitting her voice:

"Let them do whatever they want. Anyway, there's another barrier after this illusion."

By the time they finally manage to unravel the mystery, Fellow Daoist Su will likely have already pocketed the Chaos Pearl.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Hanshang's lips twitched slightly.

He secretly pondered whether to praise her for being too confident or too indifferent.

Judging from this, she probably knows nothing about the profound foundation of the major sects.

Thinking this through, he still felt it was best to be cautious. With a wave of his hand, a surge of spiritual energy quietly set up a barrier on the spot.

After they finished doing all this, the two leisurely returned to their original spot.

At this moment, Su Ruoyun had finished her cultivation, and her beautiful eyes were filled with spiritual energy as she opened and closed them.

Gao Huohuo stepped forward and briefly recounted what had just happened.

Then, his gaze fixed intently on Su Ruoyun, he asked:

"Fellow Daoist Su, in your opinion, how much longer until we can retrieve the treasure?"

"It won't be more than a few days."
