Chapter 920: Chapter 920: Forcibly Leaving _1

But Lin Caisang had already understood his meaning since there were too many people around, and some things he couldn’t say directly to her.

"Miss, what is the Illusion Continent?" Zhen Wu inquired.

"I don’t know exactly what kind of place the Illusion Continent is either, but White Blind Mountain does belong to the Illusion Continent. It should be a place where one can cultivate their spirit. The wild beasts here, including the ferocious Gypsum Cranes that chased us relentlessly, are all demons from the Illusion Continent."

"Spiritual cultivation? I’m familiar with that," Zhen Wu said.

Hearing Lin Caisang’s words, Commander Mo exclaimed excitedly,

"You know?"

The others turned to look at Commander Mo, all of them puzzled about what spiritual cultivation was and how Commander Mo could know it.

"Before, I overheard people in the palace mention that, twenty years ago, a prince and a princess from Wei State were sent to the Illusion Continent to study spiritual arts. It’s more accurate to say they were forcibly taken by people from the Illusion Continent rather than sent there. After that, they never returned."

Commander Mo spoke with a hint of mystery.

"Commander Mo, are you telling the truth?" one of his subordinates asked.

"Of course, it’s true. I heard it from the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. It was my turn to be on duty that day, so I caught an earful. You can’t speak of this to anyone else, or I, the leader, will twist your heads off!" Commander Mo said.

"We understand, we understand. So what else happened?"

The subordinate nodded eagerly, and the others also nodded, continuing to press for more information.

"I only heard the Empress Dowager also lamenting why the princess from Liang Kingdom who was taken could return, while those from Wei State could not. Perhaps people from the Illusion Continent see Wei State as too weak, easy to bully."

"The princess from Liang Kingdom returned?" Lin Caisang glanced sidelong at Ya Molian.

The princess from Liang Kingdom? There were several princesses in Liang Kingdom twenty years ago, but only one fits the bill, and that was the Elder Princess she had seen.

So it was true that the Elder Princess had been to the Illusion Continent, and among all the princes and princesses forcibly taken from various nations, she was the only one to have returned?

"Yes, the Empress Dowager spoke with such regret. However, no one knows how to reach the Illusion Continent," Commander Mo explained.

"Heh, Commander Mo, you are not completely useless after all," Lin Caisang chuckled lightly.

"If you didn’t know before, you should know now. The entrance to the so-called Illusion Continent... lies atop White Blind Mountain, and it is only when the mountain emits a purple light that people from different countries can enter the Illusion Continent, and the inhabitants of the Illusion Continent can come here."

"Here... here, here?"

As Commander Mo listened to her words, all the hairs on his body stood on end.

"Is that purple light meant to trick us into going up the mountain and to the Illusion Continent? Miss, I’ve heard the Emperor mention that no one who goes to the Illusion Continent comes back alive. The only one to return is the princess from Liang Kingdom.

And you must have heard too, the Elder Princess has been in poor health ever since she returned, surely because she suffered on the Illusion Continent!"

He certainly didn’t want to go to the terrifying Illusion Continent!

"You wish it were that easy. That place isn’t somewhere you can go if you just want to. You... pfft!" Lin Caisang glanced at him disdainfully.

However, speaking of the Elder Princess, she now suspected she knew why the Elder Princess had been so frail—it must have been the hidden injuries she sustained escaping from the Illusion Continent, right?
