After eavesdropping on the little junior sister’s voice, the entire sect went crazy.

Avoiding the countless fireballs falling towards him, Zhao Shi quickly arrived under the crack in the sky.

The sky here was much closer than he had imagined.

It was not until they got closer that Zhao Shi realized that not only him, but many villagers he had met during the day were fighting here.

Their bodies were abnormally translucent, like moonlight, blending in with the surrounding scenery. If you were not close enough, you might not be able to detect their presence.

Most of the villagers here are in the Jindan stage. There are so many Jindan-stage cultivators in this village that it doesn't seem like an isolated village at all.

As the only Nascent Soul cultivator in the village, clan leader Yu Ye fought hard on the front line.

His face was a little blurry, like the rippling surface of a lake.

Those characteristics similar to Qiao Yuan dissipated in the ripples, revealing a face that was more similar to Zhao Shi.

There was something stirring in Zhaoshi's heart, but the fireball falling towards him left him no time to think carefully, so he could only defeat the enemy in front of him first.

Surging spiritual power burst out from Zhao Shi's body. Puppets appeared from behind him and pounced in all directions to block the fireballs for the people on the ground.

It was not until he fought with them that Zhao Shi discovered that these fireballs contained not only flames, but also a black core.

After the flames went out, the kernel was the size of a walnut, full of holes and looked just like a walnut.

Zhao Shi was holding the walnut in his hand and looking at it when the dark walnut suddenly cracked open a small crack, and a tender green vine emerged from it and pierced into Zhao Shi's hand.

Zhao Shi reacted quickly, immediately dropped the walnut in his hand, and used his spiritual power to blow up the vines and the core together.

But the villagers didn't react as quickly as he did.

Many people were parasitized by the vines that emerged from the core, and turned into puppets of the enemy, turning against their companions.

Vines entangled Yu Ye's body and his movements froze for a moment. Just when Zhao Shi thought that he would also be turned into a puppet, Yu Ye's body suddenly disappeared from the spot.

A ray of moonlight overflowed from the layers of vines and turned into a human figure nearby. It was Yu Ye who had just disappeared.

The moonlight that remained in place echoed with the light around Yu Ye. The moonlight turned into a sharp blade, tearing all the vines apart.

Not only him, many villagers present used the same spell when they were trapped.

Zhao Shi's heart was beating wildly, and he vaguely felt that he had guessed something.

All the disciples of Kunlun Palace are snowmen, so could the Moon Clan be...

The murderous intent coming from behind interrupted Zhaoshi's thoughts.

He quickly dodged from his spot, and a vine came from where he was just standing, almost piercing through his body.

The situation is urgent now, and it is not the time to study these things. Zhao Shi put away his thoughts and headed straight for the crack in the sky.

To catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. As long as we get rid of the real culprit behind the crack, we can resolve this unrest!

Zhao Shi rushed to the front of the crack, which was blocked by dense vines. Countless black and bumpy seeds grew out of the vines, rushed out with the force of thunder, and burst into raging flames after being ignited in the air.

Zhao Shi threw out a talisman and tried to blast a big hole in the vines, but he could only blow away the vines on the surface. There were still endless vines inside, and he didn't know how many layers there were.

There was no time to blast the vines layer by layer. As a puppeteer, Zhao Shi gave up the idea after a brief observation.

The nimble and slender puppet string flew up from between his fingers and penetrated into the narrow gaps between the vines, passing through the layers of vines like a snake, looking for the mastermind behind the vines.

The curtain wall formed by these vines was very thick. Zhao Shi controlled the puppet line for a long time before he barely crossed the last layer of vines and came to the crack.

However, he could not sense anything.

It was as if there was nothing behind the vines.

It was as if even that space didn't exist.

How can this be?

Zhao Shi's consciousness attached to the puppet string spread out in all directions, but he still couldn't find anything.

Even the vine walls blocking his way seemed somewhat empty.

All this seemed like an illusion. But he looked at Yu Ye who was protecting him, at all the villagers who were fighting hard, at his fellow apprentices who were helping him, and at Wen Ziqi who was accidentally injured by the flames because he couldn't dodge in time...

This is all true.

Zhao Shi couldn't figure it out and subconsciously looked at Jiang Xin.

Jiang Xin and Jiang Xiao were originally protected by Ren Yuan, but the fire was too serious and there were many children who were just in the Qi Refining stage in the village. After Ren Yuan let Jiang Xin and Jiang Xiao stay in the protective formation, he went to help rescue people.

Now Jiang Xin and Jiang Xiao are sitting in a protective formation with a group of children rescued by Ren Yuan and others.

The children were crying loudly, and Jiang Xin was frantically trying to comfort them: "Don't cry, it's all fake."

Jiang Xiao echoed: "Yes, yes, they are all fake, you are fake too."

He was stunned and looked at Jiang Xin, "Senior Sister, they are all fake, why should we coax them?"

Jiang Xin was stunned by the question. She stood there in a daze and took out two spiritual fruits from the Sumeru bracelet.

One for Jiang Xiao and one for myself.

"Oh, that's right. I won't coax you anymore. Junior brother, let's watch the show." She sat down on the spot, patted the empty space beside her, and motioned Jiang Xiao to come over.

Jiang Xiao sat down beside her happily while holding the spiritual fruit: "Senior Sister, this illusion is really fun and so realistic."

Jiang Xin nodded: "Yeah, after all, it's the result of the joint efforts of so many people."

The battlefield was noisy and no one could hear the conversation between the two little guys unless they paid attention to them.

Zhao Shi was stunned where he stood.

all fake?

These four words filled his mind, reverberating over and over again, leaving him at a loss for a moment.

At this moment, a fire burning with blazing flames flew towards him.

Without waiting for Zhao Shi to react, Yu Ye rushed over first and used his spiritual power to forcibly repel the fire flying in front of him.

"It's not good to be distracted on the battlefield." He reminded and quickly went to kill the enemy.

Zhao Shi felt the residual spiritual energy left by him, took a deep breath, and also stepped forward to help.

Dai Hanshu once said that the Moon Clan's secret realm is a superposition of reality and illusion.

All this may be false, but it may also be true to some extent.

If it is true, then repelling the enemy as soon as possible can also make Yu Ye and others safer.

The battle was fierce. As time passed, the fireballs falling from the sky were slowly decreasing, and the vines filling the cracks were constantly withering.

It was not until all the vines in the cracks were shattered and the cracked sky closed again that the village returned to its previous tranquility.

The villagers cheered. Yu Ye wiped the blood off his face and smiled as he thanked Zhao Shi and the others: "Thank you for your help, young friends."

"Thank you, benefactor. It is our responsibility to exorcise demons and monsters." Wuxin returned the greeting politely.

Yu Ye said: "The village is going to hold a celebration banquet. Please come and join us after you have rested for a while."

The villagers echoed: "Yes, yes, everyone, please participate."

"Without your help, we will have to work harder to win."

Ning Yao naturally accepted the offer since he couldn't refuse such a kind invitation.

The war had just ended and everyone had to rest and replenish their dried up spiritual energy.

As they walked towards their own courtyard, Lin Yan noticed that Zhao Shi had not caught up with them, and asked in confusion, "What happened to Fourth Junior Brother? Is he injured?"

Zhao Shi shook his head, followed the crowd, and whispered to them, "I have something to tell you." (End of this chapter)
