Chapter 61: The Broken Illusion

The cold moon, like a blunt sword, hangs in the night sky, casting a cold glow on the ground. Su Yao's figure appeared increasingly slender in this shattered illusion, her hand still tightly gripping Li Xuan's hand, a grip that was almost desperate. Li Xuan's eyes were burning with anger, and his voice was low and firm, as if trying to pull her out of this bottomless illusion.

Let's go! "He said word by word, with an unwavering determination in his voice," This is not the real world, everything here is an illusion, we must leave

Suyao nodded, tears still moist on her cheeks, but her gaze became even more determined. Li Xuan led her towards the direction of the main hall, but the ground beneath her feet seemed to be bound by something, making the movement extremely difficult. Every step feels like pulling something, as if there is an invisible force trying to trap them in this illusion.

Don't look back! "Li Xuan shouted softly, feeling Su Yao's footsteps hesitant." No matter what happens ahead, don't stop

But Su Yao's gaze was caught by a figure ahead. That was an elderly man standing on a bloody ground, with a painful smile on his face and a long sword stained with blood in his hand. The old man's eyes were weak, but still carried a hint of determination.

Master? "Su Yao's voice trembled, and her footsteps involuntarily stopped.

Little master... "the old man's voice sounded weakly, as if it could disappear at any moment." Why... why let him go

Su Yao's heart trembled suddenly, and that painful memory flashed through her mind. She remembered that day, she stood in a dark forest, facing the traitor kneeling on the ground. He lowered his head and recognized, with a light of repentance in his eyes, and spoke words of apology and plea for mercy. But she chose to believe his words and let him go.

Master, I... I thought he could reform himself, "Su Yao's voice choked up, tears welling up again.

What's the result? "The old man suddenly sneered, with a hint of irony in his voice." Do you think letting him go can change anything? Do you think he will be grateful for your tolerance

A chill suddenly rose from the bottom of her feet, and Su Yao's pupils contracted violently. The old man's body began to blur, and the scene in front of him suddenly changed. The scene of the traitor being released reappeared before her eyes, but she found that there was no trace of gratitude in the traitor's eyes, but rather a cold smile. His mouth curved slightly upwards, as if mocking her innocence.

Master, I... I was wrong, "Su Yao's voice was almost below a whisper, tears streaming down her cheeks.

Wrong? "The old man's voice suddenly became intense, as if about to pour all his anger onto her." Do you know how serious the mistake is? Do you know how much danger you have let go of

Suddenly, the walls of the entire hall began to shake violently, with stones falling one after another and making a loud roar. Su Yao and Li Xuan were forced to retreat backwards, their hands still tightly clasped together, but cracks began to appear on the ground beneath their feet, as if trying to separate them.

Don't let go! "Li Xuan shouted, with a hint of anxiety in his voice.

No, I must face all of this! "Su Yao's voice sounded firmly, although tears still lingered in her eyes, her gaze became sharper." I must know the truth

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the center of the main hall. He was wearing a black robe, with a cold smile on his face and a dangerous gleam in his eyes.

Long time no see, Su Yao, "he spoke slowly, with a hint of mockery in his voice." It seems like you finally remembered

Su Yao's pupils suddenly contracted, and her voice was almost suffocating from her throat.

Who are you

Hehe. "The person smiled and shook their head." Have you really forgotten? I'm the person you hate the most, and I'm the person you want to kill the most

Suddenly, the image began to distort and deform, and a long cherished memory appeared before Su Yao's eyes. She remembered having a fierce confrontation with this person, and she remembered wanting to kill him, but ultimately failed. But after a while, he suddenly disappeared without a trace, as if he had never existed.

Did you... frame me in the illusion? "Su Yao's voice trembled slightly, and her long sword tightened involuntarily.

Framed? "The person shook their head and sneered," I'm just reminding you that memories are the sharpest knife

As soon as the words fell, the entire hall suddenly shook violently, with fragments flying and illusions collapsing around it. Su Yao felt a wave of dizziness, and the scene in front of her became blurry, as if the whole world was collapsing.

At this moment, Li Xuan's hand suddenly released hers, and Su Yao felt a wave of loss and panic. She wanted to turn around and look for him, but the scene in front of her completely changed.

She found herself back at home and saw her father standing in a messy room, holding a long sword tightly in both hands with anger in his eyes. He suddenly lifted his head and turned his gaze towards her like a knife.

Su Yao! "His voice was as cold as ice, with a hint of hatred in his eyes." I've been waiting for you for a long time

Su Yao's body trembled suddenly, her throat tightened, and her voice was almost impossible to grasp.

Father... I was wrong

Wrong? "The father's voice suddenly erupted into a roar, with a force that shook the entire room." Do you know how serious the mistake is

Su Yao's tears welled up again, her voice choked up, and she almost knelt down on the ground.

Father, forgive me! I really did my best

You have been smart, witty, and gifted since childhood, but you are too arrogant and stubborn, "his father's voice carried a hint of pain." You thought you were the smartest, but in the end, you killed everyone

Su Yao's body trembled suddenly, her voice almost suffocating.

No... I really tried my best

What's the use of you? You can't even take on the most basic responsibility! "Her father's voice suddenly became sharp, like a knife piercing her heart." You're not even making the most basic choices! Do you know how many people you've destroyed

Su Yao's tears finally welled up in her eyes, sliding down her cheeks as her voice choked up.

Father, I really work hard... I really try my best to take responsibility

Enough! "Father's voice suddenly calmed down, with a hint of coldness in his eyes." You've said enough

Su Yao's pupils suddenly contracted, and her father in front of her suddenly turned into a corpse, lying on the ground with a long sword deeply inserted into his chest. She suddenly realized that her father's death was actually due to herself.

No! Father! "Su Yao let out a heart wrenching roar, echoing in the hall.

However, just then, a familiar voice suddenly sounded.

Su Yao, don't believe these illusions

She suddenly turned around and saw Li Xuan standing not far away, with a hint of determination in his eyes.

This is an illusion, "his voice was low and powerful," nothing here is real

Su Yao's pupils suddenly contracted, and her mind gradually became clear.

Yes... this is an illusion, "she murmured to herself, her voice tinged with a hint of clarity.

At this moment, the scene in front of her suddenly began to collapse, and Su Yao felt herself tumbling in the air, as if she was about to lose her balance. Li Xuan suddenly reached out and grabbed her, stabilizing her body.

Are you okay? "He asked nervously, with a hint of anxiety in his voice.

Su Yao shook her head, her voice tinged with a hint of exhaustion.

I... I don't know

Don't overthink it, "Li Xuan's voice suddenly became firm," let's walk out together
