Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 325: It’s All Illusion Technique! Who Is Behind the Scheme?

Chapter 325: Chapter 325: It’s All Illusion Technique! Who Is Behind the Scheme?

No one believed Lin Xuan; they just thought he was deceiving them.

What a bunch of idiots, Lin Xuan thought, rolling his eyes. His only option was to warn the people from the Heavenly Dao Academy to leave quickly.

Since this was a trap, there would surely be danger. Lin Xuan didn’t want them to perish here.

"Junior Brother Lin, wait! I’ll leave as soon as I grab this treasure," Mu Jin said.

On another side, Hua Yan also called out, "Junior Brother Lin, I’m almost done here, just a moment!"

It was obvious none of them wanted to leave. This was understandable. The treasures here were incredibly precious. Obtaining just one could be equivalent to several years of painstaking cultivation, and it might even lead to an immediate breakthrough. Who could possibly resist such an immense temptation?

Lin Xuan sighed, his brow furrowing even tighter. This Illusion Technique is just too terrifying.

He rushed forward toward the alchemy furnaces and saw Ye Qingwu open one of them. She took out a multicolored elixir and was just about to swallow it.

Lin Xuan lunged forward, grabbed her wrist, and said, "Don’t eat it! This isn’t an elixir! You’ve been fooled by an Illusion Technique!"

"Oh, Junior Brother Lin, stop messing around. There are plenty of alchemy furnaces left. Hurry and grab a few, maybe you can break through to the Grandmaster realm too," Ye Qingwu replied.

"Senior Sister, I’m not messing around," Lin Xuan said sharply, startling her.

When Ye Qingwu saw his serious expression, she froze for a moment.

"Senior Sister, do you trust me?" Lin Xuan asked.

Ye Qingwu hesitated. It was true that Lin Xuan loved to brag, but he had also created one miracle after another. Most importantly, he hadn’t hesitated to risk everything to save her before. Thinking of this, she finally nodded. "Junior Brother, I trust you. I won’t eat it, but I can take it with me, right?"

"Come with me." Lin Xuan grabbed her wrist and pulled her away.

Ye Qingwu was pulled along, stumbling as she instinctively followed him. As she walked, she couldn’t help but glance back at the alchemy furnaces. What a pity... There were more than ten of them, all filled with miracle elixirs.

The others remained unmoved, still frantically scrambling for treasures. Chu Yue was even fighting with a group of people, her body stained with blood as she fought in a frenzy.

From the shadows, however, the mysterious withered figure watched in surprise. Hm? This boy is quite unusual. He actually recognized the Illusion Technique. Truly incredible. It must be the work of his Sword Intent. Not only is Sword Intent incomparably sharp, but it can also keep one’s mind clear. This boy is a true Sword Dao prodigy. The figure’s desire grew. All the more reason for me to take his body.

"Thinking of leaving? It won’t be that easy. Since you’ve entered my trap, you’re not getting out," the withered figure chuckled darkly.

Meanwhile, the door to the secret chamber slammed shut.

Lin Xuan’s expression changed. He accelerated, but he was still blocked and couldn’t get out.

Damn it! He slammed his fist against the chamber door. The terrifying power of the World-Ending Flood Dragon Fist crashed into the surface with a loud BANG!

The secret chamber’s door remained undamaged.

Lin Xuan’s face darkened.

The next moment, he struck again. This time, he used the Cyan Dragon Sky-Splitting Hand. The palm strike seemed powerful enough to rip heaven and earth asunder, yet it couldn’t even scratch the door. Lin Xuan’s expression grew even fouler. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Beside him, Ye Qingwu also frowned. The reality of the situation began to dawn on her. Why did the chamber door close? Is it really a trap?

Just then, a scream came from the distance. "Ah! What is this?!"

Lin Xuan and Ye Qingwu quickly turned their heads, recognizing the voice as Hua Yan’s. Is Hua Yan in danger?

They turned to look, and froze.

The scene within the secret chamber had changed in an instant, becoming completely unrecognizable. What was once a treasure vault filled with brilliant, multicolored lights was now a swamp. Black water and black mud filled the room, and a putrid, nauseating smell of decay pervaded the air.

The treasures from before had vanished. The mountain of Spirit Stones had become a pile of rotten rocks. The glowing Spiritual Artifacts were now just rotten tree branches. The various scrolls and Martial Arts Secret Manuals were nothing more than piles of filthy leaves.

At that moment, Hua Yan was holding a handful of those rotten leaves, which were stained with disgusting black mud. She screamed and threw them away. "What is this stuff?!"

The others were also stunned. They looked down at the "treasures" they had snatched and were left dumbfounded. These weren’t treasures at all, just a heap of broken rocks and rotten leaves. How could this have happened? They were all bewildered.

Chu Yue was so furious she almost spat blood. She had fought tooth and nail to snatch these things. She was covered in injuries, her clothes soaked red with blood. She hadn’t cared about any of it, believing it was all worth it to obtain the treasures. But now, what had she fought for? A few broken, moss-covered stones, a handful of leaves smeared with black mud, and several branches dripping with black water.

What was all this garbage? It was all trash! Chu Yue’s mind completely broke down. Did I really risk my life for this garbage? How could this happen?

She wasn’t the only one; the other geniuses were also on the verge of collapse. Wan Tianming coughed up blood in anger, Beichen roared at the heavens, Yan Chitian stomped his feet in fury, and Sword Wushuang was practically incandescent with rage. He had snatched more treasures than most, only to discover it was all trash.

But the one in the deepest despair was the Third Crown Prince.

After entering, he hadn’t bothered with other treasures, focusing solely on elixirs. He had ordered the men from his Prince’s Mansion to secure them at any cost, and they had indeed managed to snatch several for him. The Third Crown Prince had already consumed three of them in succession and could feel a mysterious power swirling within him. He still held two more in his hand, but as he was about to take them, he looked down and saw they weren’t elixirs at all. They were two toads.

Could it be... were the elixirs I ate earlier also toads?

At this thought, the Third Crown Prince began to vomit violently.

Nearby, Ye Qingwu also screamed in fright and flung the toad in her hand away. A wave of fear washed over her. She was so thankful that Lin Xuan had stopped her from eating it. Otherwise, she would have swallowed that toad. If that had happened, the disgust might have put her off food for life. It’s too disgusting!

"What’s going on? How did it end up like this?" Ye Qingwu asked in confusion as she wiped her hands.

Lin Xuan frowned. "It’s an Illusion Technique. You were all tricked."

"What? An illusion?" The geniuses from the other families were in an uproar. Only then did they recall that Lin Xuan had already warned them, telling them it was a trap, an illusion.

Unfortunately, they had been so blinded by greed at the time that they hadn’t believed him at all. Who would have thought that Lin Xuan was telling the truth? They had been thoroughly slapped in the face.

The Third Crown Prince had almost vomited until he passed out. If only he had listened to Lin Xuan.

Chu Yue was also filled with regret. All her injuries had been for nothing.

Sword Wushuang ground his teeth, utterly infuriated that this had all been an illusion. He let out a cold snort and turned to leave.

The other geniuses also prepared to depart. Even if this secret chamber was an illusion, there had to be real treasures in the others. They planned to continue their hunt.

But just then, the swamp began to churn. Black shadows shot out from the mire, lunging toward the crowd.

"What the hell?! Get off me!" Chu Yue roared, throwing a punch.

BANG!

The black shadow wavered but didn’t break, instead enveloping Chu Yue. Her expression changed drastically.

The other geniuses also began to scream as they too were trapped. Looking down, they finally saw that the black shadows were vines—black vines.

"It’s those Demon Vines from before!" someone cried out, their face turning pale.

"We’re finished! These Demon Vines are terrifyingly tough! Normal Martial Arts can’t even scratch them! Only Sword Intent, with its incomparably sharp power, can sever them!"

"What?!"

Hearing this, everyone’s expression changed dramatically. They all tried to break the vines coiling around them, only to find it was impossible.

"Damn it, they really are Demon Vines!"

Everyone fell into despair.

The members of the Celestial Sword Sect rushed to Sword Wushuang’s side. "Wushuang, we’re counting on you now!"

The geniuses from the other families and sects also turned their hopeful gazes toward Sword Wushuang.

"Young Master Wushuang, please save us!" one of them pleaded.

"Young Master Wushuang, please act! Our family will surely reward you generously!"

In an instant, geniuses from every major family and sect were crying out for help.

The faces of those from the Heavenly Dao Academy also grew grim.

Ye Qingwu sighed. "It seems we have no choice but to ask Sword Wushuang to save us as well."
