Just as Su Yang was rapidly falling, a hand suddenly reached out from the side, grabbing him like lightning.

Su Yang stopped his descent and looked up, only to see that the person grabbing him was none other than Ye Xingjun.

Su Yang was taken aback, not understanding why Ye Xingjun would offer him a helping hand at this moment.

"Go, continue!" Ye Xingjun called out in a low voice, tossing Su Yang upwards.

It was only then that Su Yang understood, Ye Xingjun wanted him to continue to deal with the masked man.

In simple terms, Ye Xingjun wasn't trying to save him, but mainly wanted to use him to deal with the masked man.

After all, the masked man's strength was too formidable, and Ye Xingjun knew full well he was no match for him.

Now, Su Yang harbored a deep hatred against the masked man, and was definitely going to desperately seek revenge. On the contrary, he didn't really care about the Feather Spirit Palace's legacy; all he wanted now was revenge.

So, saving Su Yang was like finding himself a fighter, so why not? Anyone with a lick of sense would make the same choice.

Though Su Yang understood Ye Xingjun's intentions, he still wouldn't let the masked man go, charging forward with a roar.

This time, Su Yang even summoned the Illusion of Devouring the World.

Su Yang hadn't used this Illusion before because he wasn't sure of its relation to the power here.

According to the Great City Lord, ever since the first time he summoned the Illusion, someone in the main hall was watching him. So, later on, Su Yang dared not use the Illusion recklessly, unsure if the person in the main hall had a grudge against it.

However, now Su Yang couldn't be bothered. The masked man had thrown Qi'er into that gap, where the red glow clearly signified rampant power. Can Qi'er still hope to survive under such circumstances?

So now, Su Yang only wanted to kill the masked man for revenge. As for the disparity in strength, he no longer cared; even if it meant death, he would still fight!

The moment the Illusion appeared, Su Yang could clearly feel the giant tree trembling slightly. Simultaneously, the vines crawling on the trunk lifted, as if disturbed.

As a result, the red glow inside the gap intensified, seemingly provoked by the Illusion.

The masked man's eyes flashed with a strange glint; he gave Su Yang a surprised look, not yet understanding what was going on.

Su Yang, however, charged in wildly again, screaming as he launched an attack.

The masked man frowned slightly, staring at the Illusion behind Su Yang for a while, then suddenly reached out, breaking through Su Yang's attack and directly grabbing Su Yang by the neck, lifting him into the air.

As the masked man grabbed Su Yang, a force directly entered Su Yang's body, instantly suppressing all his power.

However, at that moment, the Illusion behind Su Yang opened its eyes, its gaze intimidating all life, causing even the masked man to tremble.

The masked man was immensely powerful and well-informed, yet upon seeing the Illusion's eyes, he felt a sensation of death enveloping him, stirring fear from the depths of his heart.

By now, Ye Xingjun had stealthily crept over. He scrambled to the gap, trying to reach inside, but to no avail, as an invisible force blocked him.

The masked man had long since noticed Ye Xingjun but didn't stop him, wanting to see if Ye Xingjun could open the gap.

In the end, Ye Xingjun could do nothing, and the masked man's patience ran out. With a wave of his arm, Ye Xingjun was flung away, dropping several hundred meters before stabilizing himself.

Ye Xingjun felt utterly aggrieved; wasn't the Spirit Palace's legacy supposed to belong to the Feather Clan? Why couldn't he open the gap?

The masked man glanced over Su Yang, then at the gap behind him, and said coldly, "What's with this Illusion?"

"Want to know?" Su Yang sneered, "I refuse to tell you!"

The masked man's eyes glinted coldly: "You think I won't kill you?"

"You think I'm afraid of death?" Su Yang retorted, "I dared to come here to kill you; do you think I don't have the resolve to die?"

The masked man's brows furrowed. Su Yang knew his power but still dared to confront him, indicating Su Yang was truly determined to die if necessary. Therefore, threatening Su Yang this way wouldn't work.

"I won't waste words with you. Tell me what I want to know, or I'll kill you first!" The masked man said coldly.

Su Yang said nothing, instead spitting a mouthful of blood at him.

The masked man avoided it, eyes flashing with coldness, and suddenly pointed a finger at Su Yang's forehead.

Su Yang's eyes carried no fear; he knew this move would claim his life. However, he still didn't regret his actions.

With Qi'er dead, why would he care about his own life?

Just as the masked man was about to point at Su Yang's forehead, the Illusion behind him seemed to suddenly growl furiously, emitting a demonic howl.

Simultaneously, the giant tree began to shake, and all the surrounding vines suddenly flailed wildly.

One vine flew over and wrapped around the masked man's arm, preventing him from landing that blow.

The masked man was taken aback; this was unexpected. Why would these vines save Su Yang?

In fact, even Su Yang was completely puzzled.

The vines had intimidated him earlier, so what was going on now? Did they suddenly find him endearing and want to save him?

Of course, Su Yang knew this wasn't the case. The sudden intervention of the vines must be related to the Illusion.

Frankly, at this moment, Su Yang couldn't make sense of the situation.

A roar from the Illusion, and the vines began to act. Could it be that the Illusion could command the vines?

Several vines danced around, tangling with the masked man.

The masked man's strength was indeed formidable, yet these vines were not simple either.

Vines that could wrap around this giant tree were surely extraordinary.

The vines tangled with the masked man, resulting in a deadlock.

Meanwhile, two points of light came swiftly from the sky.

It wasn't long before these two points of light arrived by Su Yang's side.

One of these points was a Phoenix bathed in golden light; the other was a Three-legged Colorful Crow covered in flames, appearing quite strange.

Upon arrival, both creatures surprisingly flew to Su Yang. The Three-legged Colorful Crow circled around Su Yang, chirping incessantly as if it knew him well.

The Phoenix was even more direct, landing directly on Su Yang's shoulder, nuzzling his face affectionately with its head.
