Chapter 498 - Truths and Lies

The remaining four became warier at the Daoist's remark.

Seeing that, Li Huowang suddenly had an idea.

Wait, maybe I don't need to fight them... perhaps I can just scare them away!

Li Huowang took a few deep breaths before thrusting the spine sword into the ground. The next moment, the surroundings shimmered as he muttered, “Hmph! Are you not curious why I'm still alive? Why don’t you ask Zhuge Yuan himself? Untraceable silence, hidden in the highest mountains. Living is to avoid being obliviated! Surpass the realms of the Three Worlds! Resurrection!”

The Surveillance Bureau members found their hearts seized by a primal fear when they saw Zhuge Yuan flickering into existence before Li Huowang.

They knew the depths of Zhuge Yuan's strength, and he was definitely much stronger with his own spine sword in hand!

They wasted no time and turned around to run into the depths of the forest.

Moments later, Peng Longteng and Zhuge Yuan’s figures disappeared. Li Huowang grabbed his aching head. Transforming two illusions into reality with his current cultivation was way beyond his limits.

This was the best he could do, and fortunately, it had scared them away.

Li Huowang felt like his head was splitting into two, but he endured it and staggered away with the spine sword in hand.

The Surveillance Bureau members had run away, but there was a chance that they'd come back to investigate.

Li Huowang felt his brain swelling to the point that it felt like his skull would explode from the pressure. Foll0ww current novÊls on nov/3l/b((in).(co/m)

“Junior Li, are you alright?” Zhuge Yuan was worried.

“I'm fine. I'm fine.” Li Huowang didn’t actually know whether he was fine or not. This was the first time he had used his cultivation to transform illusions into reality. It was not as simple as the apple at the time.

Li Huowang's words had yet to finish echoing in the air when his Dantian trembled, and his surroundings peeled away. “Oh no! My inner sight can no longer contain the primordial breath!”

His words had just come out of his mouth when he heard footsteps approaching from behind.

Li Huowang froze as many different thoughts flooded his mind. Then, he stood up shakily and placed the broom on his shoulder before walking out of his imaginary cover with his back facing the footsteps.

He walked forward two steps and pretended that he heard something before scoffing and asking, “What? Why did you guys come back? Do you really think that I'm too kind?”

“Huowang.” A familiar voice echoed.

Li Huowang was stunned by the soft voice, but he turned around almost immediately and saw Yang Na looking at him with teary eyes from the other side of the wire fence.

Yang Na had gotten so thin that Li Huowang could see her bones, and she didn’t come here by herself. An old man wearing round glasses was standing behind her.

Li Huowang recognized the old man, as he was Yang Na’s father.

He used to get along with her father well, and Yang Na's father always teased Li Huowang whenever he came over to Yang Na’s house.

But that was all in the past; he was no longer as kind to Li Huowang as before. In fact, his gaze was filled with contempt as he glared at Li Huowang.

“Do you see that? He’s the Li Huowang that you’ve been thinking about day and night! How much longer are you going to be stuck in your delusions?”

Yang Na bit her lips and cried.

Li Huowang’s heart quivered. No, I cannot be distracted here. I’m still in danger on the other side. This is fake! How come Yang Na appeared the moment I found myself stuck in this hallucination? This is fake, and Yang Na is fake! But since there are two of them... Are they Bai Lingmiao and Li Sui?

“Miaomiao? Li Sui? Is that you? Give me a sign if it's you!” Li Huowang shouted at the two behind the wire fence.

Seeing that, Yang Na’s father dragged Yang Na away, saying, “Now do you see how hopeless he is? Let’s go! Forget about Li Huowang, and don’t even think about seeing him again!”

As Li Huowang stared at Yang Na's distant figure, he suddenly thought of something. No! This side must be real, too! I’m going to make it real once I've cultivated the "Truth"! In other words, this Yang Na is real, too! I can’t let her go.

Two conflicting thoughts split Li Huowang's mind into two parts. In the end, Li Huowang’s face became bitter as he clenched his fist and smacked his head numerous times. “AAAAAAH!”
