Chapter 153: Chapter 134: Shatter Illusion (Combined Chapter)

Autumn in the mountain forest lacked the tireless cicada chirping and verdancy of summer, but it triumphed with the tranquil beauty of falling leaves.

Suddenly,

a slender silhouette fell from the treetops, walking towards the man in the forest with bare pink feet.

Sitting cross-legged in a clearing, Xu Yuan slowly raised his eyes:

"Is Shen Weixiu taken care of?"

"Mhm, and Tianrui?"

Her voice was crisp, and as she spoke, those golden pupils scanned the surroundings.

Xu Yuan’s reply was short:

"Dead."

"...."

Tianyan subconsciously paused her steps, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise:

"Did you kill him?"

Xu Yuan’s eye twitched:

"Not me, could it be you?"

Tianyan’s eyes twinkled with amusement, and with a light huff, she walked up to Xu Yuan, half-kneeled down, leaned forward and patted his shoulder:

"You’ve improved, not even a scratch, not bad at all."

Watching the girl’s actions, Xu Yuan fell silent for two seconds, then suddenly let out a light chuckle.

A clumsily extreme imitation.

He looked up at her and remarked casually:

"I am familiar with his Yantian Art, but he was not familiar with my sword technique, and he was distracted during the fight, so he died."

Tianyan gathered her skirt and sat next to him, her voice clear and pleasant:

"Distracted during the fight... was it because of Shen Weixiu’s transmitted message?"

The girl’s fragrance wafted to Xu Yuan’s nose as he nodded: "Pretty much."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Tianyan leaned back slightly, supporting herself with her hands behind her and gazing up at the sky through the treetops, saying cheerfully:

"Then you should thank me, the moves of the Yantian Art were leaked to you by me, and I created the opportunity for your ambush."

Xu Yuan gave her a strange look:

"Since when did you become so shameless, Tianyan?"

"That’s what I learned from you~" Tianyan glanced at him, her lips curving: "Where’s Tianrui’s storage ring?"

Xu Yuan immediately became alert, giving her a glance: "Didn’t find it."

"Hmm~"

Tianyan narrowed her eyes, her voice unhurried: "As a repayment, I think you can consider giving me Tianrui’s storage ring."

Xu Yuan turned to look at Tianyan, his eyes carrying a trace of scrutiny.

The corners of Tianyan’s eyes curved into two sparkling crescents, her tone unchanged:

"I can exchange it for Shen Weixiu’s storage ring with you."

Xu Yuan grinned.

As the Saint Heir of Jiatiange, Tianrui’s storage ring not only contained copious precious cultivation resources but also many secret details about Jiatiange.

Compared to the former resources which could not be taken out of the Illusionary Realm, the latter’s value need not be said.

But regarding this information, due to time constraints Xu Yuan had only managed a superficial look.

And such information is something Tianyan, as the Saintess of Jiatiange, would not allow to be leaked.

Adults talk business; where’s the room for so much romantic fantasy?

Xu Yuan shook his head, refusing:

"What if I say no?"

Tianyan glanced at him, a low laugh escaping her lips:

"In such a case, you’ve taught me before what to do."

"You want to fight?" Xu Yuan chuckled.

"If you won’t give it," Tianyan smiled.

Xu Yuan shook his head with a smile:

"Right now, neither of us is seriously injured; a fight might hurt one of us."

Tianyan stared at Xu Yuan:

"Doesn’t matter, after all, I’ve already got the Enchantress Divine Sakura Tree sapling."

"Found out from Shen Weixiu?"

"Mhm, his Dao Charm was quite suited for escaping; killing him took some effort, but I managed to get some information out of him. The Enchantress Divine Sakura Tree should be with you."

"..."

Xu Yuan stared at Tianyan for a few moments, then took out the sapling of the Enchantress Divine Sakura Tree from the Sumeru Ring, proclaiming straightforwardly:

"This is the Enchantress Divine Sakura Tree, you can take a look before deciding whether you want to fight me."

"..."

Tianyan’s beautiful eyes showed confusion as she felt its presence.

Then next moment,

the smile disappeared from her face, her voice slightly rising:

"This... this is the Enchantress Divine Sakura Tree?"

Meeting her gaze, Xu Yuan confirmed very seriously:

"I’m certain, it is the Enchantress Divine Sakura Tree."

"..."

Sunset approached, and the inclined rays of the setting sun filtered through the treetops, staining everything in the forest red, including the girl’s golden eyes.

She stared intently at the sapling before her, less than a yard tall:

"Why.. why is there no soul intention fluctuation?"

Xu Yuan chuckled softly and said:

"There is some, just sense it carefully, although the fluctuation is very subtle, heh...."

Tianyan, hearing this, immediately turned and glared at him:

"How could such a level of soul intention fluctuation be the source? Do you still feel like joking now?"

"Got used to it."

Xu Yuan smiled, waving his hands: "Life has to go on, after all. So many unexpected things happen in this Illusionary Realm."

Tianyan caught her breath with a few quick huffs, then suddenly turned her head:

"Xu Changtian, it wasn’t you..."

"I warn you not to be unreasonable," Xu Yuan glanced at her coolly.

Tianyan lifted her delicate index finger to her teeth and bit it lightly, her eyes somewhat confused:

"Right... you wouldn’t have had the time to hide this thing, but if it’s not the source and not the Enchantress Divine Sakura Tree, then what could it be? It can’t be... every Illusionary Realm definitely has a source...."

At this,

Tianyan’s pupils suddenly dilated:

"Xu Changtian, when you killed Tianrui, did you sense..."

"I sensed it."

Xu Yuan interrupted Tianyan.

Talking with a smart person really saves effort.

After a moment of silence,

Tianyan, with uncertainty in her eyes: "Are you sure you sensed it too?"

Xu Yuan sighed, letting his body recline completely against the fallen leaves and twigs:

"Yes, the illusions of the Enchantress Divine Sakura Tree really are bizarre.

"Heh... to think it could disperse the source among every character in the Illusionary Realm; no wonder the people of this illusion can respond to our actions."
