CHAPTER 1359: CHAPTER 597: YAN NAI’ER, FU LINGXI! SHOWDOWN WITH THE OLD DEMON! (PART 2)

Hearing the footsteps, the woman turned around and looked at Lanling.

Although Lanling was mentally prepared, he was still shaken.

Because this woman was Yan Nai’er, his most beloved wife.

Her Demon Bloodline seemed used up, and she was on the brink of death.

"Husband, save me, save me..." Yan Nai’er reached out her jade-like hand, her beautiful eyes full of deep affection.

She was incredibly delicate, incredibly pitiable.

This was the woman who loved him the most, the woman to whom Lanling owed the most.

"Husband, I’m dying. Before I die, could you embrace me once more, kiss me once more?" Yan Nai’er pleaded softly.

Lanling’s face twitched for a moment, and he said coldly, "Sorry, I need to get through, please step aside."

Instantly, Yan Nai’er looked at him with resentment, and then her beautiful, bloodstained body once again turned into ashes and disappeared without a trace.

Lanling continued to walk forward, continuing to delve deeper.

A few hundred meters later, he arrived at another fork.

Here stood a woman with a graceful figure and stunning beauty, wearing a high judge’s black robe.

She was... Fu Lingxi!

The woman Lanling disliked the most, hated the most.

Fu Lingxi stared at Lanling with cunning coldness, sneering, "Suo Lun, you useless man, it’s your uselessness that made your woman fall into hell. Your wife Gui Qinshao, your daughter Suo Qinqin, do you know how I tortured them? Hahaha..."

"Gui Qinshao was still pregnant, so I allowed dozens of men to ravage her, so sorry, your child... is no more..."

"Your daughter Suo Qinqin was very young, tender and delicious, so I handed her over to the Monster Sect, whatever happened to Ashi Luo happened to her, hahahaha..."

"Are you very angry? Are you raging? Come kill me, come kill me..."

Fu Lingxi stretched out her neck and said, "Come, come strangle me, come strangle me..."

It’s another horrifying spirit trap.

Before, it was first using Lanling’s emotional weakness, using the illusions of Zhi Ning and Yan Nai’er to make Lanling embrace them.

Lanling wasn’t fooled, so the Black Ghost Old Demon created the illusion of Fu Lingxi, triggering Lanling’s hatred, making him strangle her.

But in either case, as long as he touched the illusory woman, he fell into the Black Ghost Old Demon’s spirit trap.

And all these illusory figures came from Lanling’s own mind.

Even if the Fu Lingxi in front of him was an illusion, Lanling was still furious, wishing he could go forward and tear her to pieces.

Taking a deep breath, Lanling coldly said, "Sorry, I need to get through, please move aside!"

The illusion of Fu Lingxi looked at Lanling, her eyes full of mockery, "A useless man, can’t kill in the Human Kingdom; even if you turned into Lanling, you’re still useless, can’t kill me, hahahaha..."

After a burst of sharp laughter, the illusion of Fu Lingxi turned into ashes and disappeared without a trace.

Lanling gradually stopped walking!

The three illusions before, one was Zhi Ning, one was Yan Nai’er, and one was Fu Lingxi.

This was the Black Ghost Old Demon testing his weaknesses.

It would continue to adjust the spirit traps according to his personality; then what was the next trap?

Actually, facing spirit traps was simple; just ignore them, directly say: Move aside, I need to get through.

No matter what you see, it’s fake! No matter how much hatred, how miserable, how tempting the Illusion Realm, it’s all fake, it’s all illusions.

At this moment, Lanling’s heart was racing, feeling uneasy, unsure what the next illusion would be.

"No matter what the next illusion is, I won’t care, I’ll just shout get lost!" Lanling solemnly told himself.

Then, he continued walking forward.

After walking a few hundred meters, he reached another fork, saw no figure, but heard crying, a baby’s cry.

It was Zhi Yu Baby!

Lanling’s eyes twitched sharply.

This evil Black Ghost Old Demon always exploited the softest part of people’s hearts.

Lanling walked over.

Soon, on the cave path ahead, he saw his son Zhi Yu Baby, sitting naked on the ground crying.

His little face and body were covered with scratches, and his small hands were stained with blood.

He had grown considerably; his little face had become thinner.

Even knowing it’s an illusion, seeing the baby, Lanling’s tears gushed out, and his heart seemed to melt instantly.

In front of the baby, a giant wolf was eyeing him hungrily, eyes blood-red, teeth sharp, as it drooled over the baby.

At that moment, the baby seemed to notice Lanling, crawling toward him, oblivious to the wolf behind.

"Daddy, daddy..."

"Howl..." The wolf behind lunged forward fiercely.

"It’s an illusion, it’s an illusion, quickly evade, quickly shout get lost!" Lanling repeatedly told himself.

The baby crawled towards Lanling, using hands and feet, his tear-filled eyes looking at Lanling, calling pitifully, "Daddy, scared, scared..."

This is an illusion; once the baby clings to him, it’s as if caught by the Black Ghost Old Demon. But if he evades, then he’s safe, dodging the spirit trap.

Only, Zhi Yu Baby would be completely torn apart by this evil wolf, even if merely in the Illusion Realm.

Dodge, dodge!

"Get lost, get lost..." Lanling shouted from deep in his throat, but found he couldn’t utter it.

He wanted to step aside, but his feet were firmly glued to the spot.

In that way, Zhi Yu Baby crawled to the front of Lanling, directly plunging into his embrace.

Lanling closed his eyes, a long sigh escaping his heart, then held the baby in his arms.

"I know it’s fake, but even so, I can’t bear to see the baby torn apart by a wolf." Lanling whispered, trembling, "Black Ghost Old Demon, even if it’s fake, let me feel my child’s warmth and scent."

Then, he tightly embraced this non-existent baby.

Everything went black!

"Hahahahahaha..."

"Jie jie jie jie..."

A piercing laugh resounded in his ears, like a knife scraping a wall.

Then, everything brightened!

Then, the surrounding illusion ended, returning to the real world.

Lanling was wrapped by a tentacle.

This was the deepest part of the demon’s den, where there was a huge pool of water.

A giant octopus was in the water, one of its tentacles tightly wrapping Lanling’s neck, countless suckers adhering to Lanling’s brain.

The octopus’ head was several dozen meters in diameter, countless tentacles, each nearly a kilometer long.

It turned out, the so-called Black Ghost Old Demon was just an octopus.

After the Ghost King Empire was destroyed, it escaped here along the underground waterways. But its body couldn’t leave the water, so it created various illusions to lure people in.

Upon entering the demon’s cave, if a fork and an illusion appear, that means this octopus monster’s tentacle.

As long as you let the illusory person embrace you, you’re letting the octopus tentacle wrap your neck and control your brain area.

Looking across, the huge Centaur Khan Xie Li was also entangled by one of the octopus’ giant tentacles.

Given the strength of Xie Li Khan, he could easily break free of the octopus’ tentacle. However, the sucker of the octopus tentacle was firmly stuck to his head, controlling his brain, rendering him immobile.

"Clearly knowing it’s fake, clearly it’s just an illusion, still captured by me?" The Black Ghost Old Demon said, "Wretched human, should I call you smart or stupid?"

Indeed, from the beginning Lanling saw through the Black Ghost Old Demon’s trap, and had a way to break the trap, yet still stepped into it. Is that clever? Or foolish?

Lanling asked, "Almost a year ago, a centaur entered the cave, is he dead or alive?"

The Black Ghost Old Demon replied, "You mean this giant centaur’s son? Of course he’s alive, as long as they’re powerful in martial arts but simple-minded, I’ll let them live as my slave, to be driven by me."

Then, the Black Ghost Old Demon looked at Lanling and said, "Even so, for you who have seen through my trap, though knowing it’s a trap, you still stepped in, is that smart? Or foolish?"

Lanling asked, "Close to a year ago, did a Centaur enter this demon’s lair, is he dead or alive?"

Black Ghost Old Demon replied, "Are you talking about this giant centaur’s son? If they’re powerful in martial arts but simple-minded like him, I’ll let them live to become my slave, to serve me."

After that, the Black Ghost Old Demon looked at Lanling and said, "But for you, with low martial skills but cunning and clever mind, I can’t spare you; I can only drain the living essence from your brain and devour your flesh and blood, hahahaha..."

Then, the tentacle of the Black Ghost Old Demon tightened incomparably.
