The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Chapter 1429 The Darkest Day

After Ye Hongyu fell into Wang Gang's illusion, she immediately realized that something was wrong.

“My body has gotten smaller.”

Ye Hongyu looked at her shrunken palm and subconsciously tried to grab the sword, but missed.

"Where is my sword?" Ye Hongyu was surprised, and then she found that she was in a different place.

She was clearly at the entrance of the academy one moment, and appeared in a room the next.

Ye Hongyu looked at the layout of the room carefully, and the next moment her whole body was shocked.

She was very familiar with this room, as it was the room she lived in before. However, Ye Hongyu clearly remembered that she had destroyed the room long ago, and every brick had been crushed into powder.

"I'm under an illusion."

Ye Hongyu understood her situation instantly, and formed a seal with her hands, ready to use the Zhishouguan Taoist magic to break the illusion.

"My cultivation!" Ye Hongyu screamed in shock, only then did she realize that she had lost all her cultivation and was just an ordinary person, just like when she was a child.

Ye Hongyu thought about her childhood and suddenly realized something. She looked towards the gate with horror.

Sure enough, the next moment the door opened and a short figure rushed in, just like before.

"Hehehehe." A eerie and evil laugh came into the room, and Ye Hongyu's whole body was shaking violently.

"This is an illusion, it's not real, everything is fake." Ye Hongyu forced herself to remain calm, thinking in her heart that everything around her was fake.

But when the shadow's hand touched her ankle, Ye Hongyu collapsed.

"Brother, save me." Ye Hongyu shouted in panic.

She broke down and cried like a helpless little girl.

The next moment, time stopped, the black shadow's hand paused in mid-air, everything around it solidified, even the sound disappeared.

Wang Gang appeared in the room and waved his right hand. The shadow dissipated, and the room disappeared. Ye Hongyu found herself back at the front door of the academy, but there was no sign of Long Qing beside her.

Ye Hongyu looked at Wang Gang in shock, gritted her teeth and asked: "How do you know what happened back then?"

Wang Gang put his hands behind his back and said calmly: "This illusion can reflect your greatest fear."

Ye Hongyu asked fearfully: "Am I still in the illusion?"

Wang Gang nodded and said, "Yes, you have not escaped from the illusion."

Ye Hongyu said fearfully: "What do you want in exchange for letting me go?"

Wang Gang asked back: "Don't you want to know who hurt you back then?"

Ye Hongyu was shocked and asked with trembling lips: "What do you know?"

Wang Gang sighed and said, "Do you think that this was your first illusion?"

Ye Hongyu was shocked and asked: "What do you mean?"

Wang Gang said: "You have experienced that day five times in your fantasy world, and you chose to commit suicide every time."

Seeing that Ye Hongyu didn't believe it, Wang Gang waved his right hand, and five projections appeared in the sky, each of which was playing Ye Hongyu's performance in the illusion.

It turned out that Ye Hongyu really experienced the darkest day of her life five times. Every time the black shadow wanted to hurt her further, Ye Hongyu chose to commit suicide.

After each death, Ye Hongyu would lose her memory of the illusion and experience the darkness again, repeating this cycle as many as five times.

"Why does the world have such a terrible illusion?"

Ye Hongyu was about to collapse. Facing the five things she least wanted to face and then experiencing five deaths, anyone would collapse.

Wang Gang said: "I created this illusion to assist in cultivation, allowing the cultivator to experience painful memories again, so that they can understand and transcend the pain, thus breaking through the bottleneck of cultivation."

Ye Hongyu said with tears in her eyes: "Let me out, let me out quickly."

Wang Gang sighed and said, "I can let you go, but if you can't get over the pain, your cultivation will stop here and you will never be able to take revenge in this life."

Ye Hongyu looked at Wang Gang in shock and asked, "Do you know who that person is?"

During her childhood, Ye Hongyu was assaulted by a mysterious person, and the shadow has been with her all her life ever since.

People all say that she is crazy about Taoism, but in fact, she just wants to gain the power of revenge, so she practices desperately. Over the years, she has been tracking down the identity of the mysterious man, but unfortunately she has found nothing.

Wang Gang said: "I do know who hurt you back then."

Ye Hongyu gritted her teeth and squeezed out a few words: "Who is he!"

"You should have people who suspect you too!" Wang Gang asked with his hands behind his back.

Ye Hongyu was silent.

Wang Gang continued, "That person was jealous of your brother Ye Su's talent for cultivation, so he took advantage of Ye Su's absence to harm you and avenge your brother."

Ye Hongyu widened her eyes and said in disbelief: "So that's how it is."

For many years, Ye Hongyu wanted to know why what happened back then happened, why it happened to her, and why she had to be hurt!
But when Wang Gang told her the truth, she couldn't believe it.

"You should be able to guess the identity of that person." Wang Gang looked at Ye Hongyu and said, "He is Xiling Sect Master Xiong Chumo."

"You lied to me." Ye Hongyu screamed.

Wang Gang said calmly: "Although that person hid his appearance, you should not forget his figure and aura. Most importantly, Xiong Chumo was crippled by the Demon Sect's leader Lin Wu and cannot be humane."

Ye Hongyu's face turned pale. No one knew the characteristics of that man better than Ye Hongyu. After Wang Gang said that Xiong Chumo was inhumane, Ye Hongyu completely believed him.

Back then, the mysterious man hurt her with his hands. Ye Hongyu had never understood why, but now everything made sense.

"Xiong Chumo." Ye Hongyu roared angrily, with flames bursting out of his whole body.

Outside the illusion, Ye Su and Wang Gang were still in a standoff.

"Mr. Wang, please let my sister go."

Ye Su placed his hands in front of him, and the wooden sword behind him trembled slightly. The sword energy at the peak of the Fate Knowing Realm seemed to appear and disappear.

Wang Gang held the ruler in his right hand, tapped his left hand gently, and said with a smile: "Ye Su, you really don't consider changing your name. I'm really doing this for your own good."

Ye Su said coldly: "Mr. Wang, you are joking. My name was given by my parents. How can I change it so easily?"

Wang Gang sighed and said, "If you don't want to change, forget it. I hope you won't regret it in the future."

Ye Su said with a straight face: "Ye Su has never regretted anything in his life."

Wang Gang curled his lips in disdain and said, "Don't be so confident."

After saying that, Wang Gang waved his right hand, and a green light enveloped Ye Su, pulling him into the illusion, allowing him to see the darkest day of his sister's life.

When Ye Su saw the mysterious man reaching out his claws towards his sister, he knew it was an illusion, but he still drew out his wooden sword and stabbed the mysterious man.

But an illusion is just an illusion after all. Even if Ye Su cut the mysterious man into pieces, the real Xiong Chumo would not lose a single hair.

After the illusion ended, Wang Gang allowed Ye Su and Ye Hongyu to meet each other.

"Hongyu, was the illusion just now real?" Ye Su asked when he saw Ye Hongyu.

Ye Hongyu gritted her teeth, unable to speak.

Ye Su had already guessed the truth.

"Why didn't you tell me? Who is that man? I want to kill him!" Ye Su was also filled with rage.

How could Ye Su remain indifferent when his sister suffered such a great humiliation?

Wang Gang laughed and said, "I told you that the man was Xiong Chumo, do you dare to seek revenge?"

Ye Su was stunned and subconsciously thought that Wang Gang was trying to sow discord.

Xiling Temple and Zhishou Temple have always been intricately linked. Although there is no hierarchical relationship, Xiling Temple has always respected Zhishou Temple.

Wang Gang is from the Datang Academy, so it is not surprising that he is trying to sow discord.

"Hongyu, don't believe what he says." Ye Su reminded his sister.

Ye Hongyu's body stiffened when she heard this.
