Chapter 37: The Illusion of the Woman in Red

Long Yu walked into the ninety-nine stone steps, saw many people queuing up, and walked to the back of the formation master's position. Long Yu heard many people discussing something. Long Yu listened to the noisy voices and heard someone talking about Lu'er. Long Yu tried to listen clearly.

A young man with hair scattered on his shoulders, holding a ruler in his hand. There is a big mole with three hairs on his face, and he looks like a smug villain.

"Junior brother, have you heard that Ganluer, the female devil, came to our outer chamber today holding the hand of a young man."

"Isn't it? I thought that female devil was so noble, but I didn't expect she would be so slutty."

A woman in gray approached the two people and said, "That's right. I thought you were so noble and high and mighty, but you just climbed onto the Pavilion Master's bed.

"Shut up, I don't allow you to say that about Lu'er." Long Yu looked at the three people in front of him with anger, and the hysterical shouts came out. The people around looked at Long Yu, and everyone's expression was very surprised.

The man with the big mole ran over and grabbed Long Yu by the collar, and lifted him up with one hand. "How dare you, a wild boy, stand up for Ganluer?" Long Yu looked at the man with the big mole and saw his evil face, and kicked him in the stomach.

The people around him were all shocked, but Long Yu didn't care about other people's eyes. He quickly ran to the man and punched him in the face. Unexpectedly, the man with the big mole was quicker and grabbed Long Yu's wrist and twisted it gently.

There was a crisp sound from Long Yu's arm, and the pain spread to Long Yu's brain. The man with the big mole kicked Long Yu in the stomach, and Long Yu's body was thrown backwards. His arm was still in the hand of the man with the big mole, and Long Yu watched the blood oozing out of his arm.

He quickly used Dao force to freeze the wound on his arm, and the man with the big mole kicked Long Yu in the face. Due to the imbalance of gravity, Long Yu fell heavily to the left. Long Yu looked at the man with the big mole, who walked in front of him with a smile on his face, and did not take Long Yu seriously at all.

Long Yu tried to stand up from the ground, and the man with the big mole kicked him in the chest. Long Yu fell backwards, and three bones in his chest were broken. Long Yu looked at the cold eyes of the people around him, no one came forward to help, and no one stopped the man with the big mole.

Long Yu felt that all rules were deceptive, so he clenched his left fist and guided the power of Taoism from his consciousness into his hand. The man with the big mole shook his head and looked at Long Yu, then ran towards him again, trying to kick him on the head.

Long Yu used his left fist, which was full of Taoist power, to hit the right foot of the man with the big mole. A strong energy was transmitted to Long Yu's left arm, which turned into blood mist. The man with the big mole took two steps back, like nothing happened, and watched Long Yu's body retreat three meters.

The ruler in the mole man's hand instantly turned into a heavy ruler, and he ran towards Long Yu with the heavy ruler in both hands. Long Yu felt pain all over his body, and Cang hurriedly summoned the Flame Sword from his consciousness and stabbed the mole man directly.

The man with the big mole looked at Long Yu with a wild smile on his face, jumped up, and the heavy ruler was surrounded by a green energy with a sense of gravity. He chopped directly at the Yanling Sword. Long Yu watched his Yanling Sword shatter directly, turning into small pieces of light that were transmitted back to his consciousness.

The man with the big mole stood behind Long Yu with an evil smile, and pointed the heavy ruler at the sky, and smacked Long Yu's body directly. Long Yu felt that it was difficult for him to move his body, as if he was tightly pressed against the ground.

Watching a heavy ruler hit Long Yu's back quickly, Long Yu felt the pain and nothing else seemed to exist. The sound of broken bones came out, and Long Yu felt that his body could not move, and only his neck was left.

The man with the big mole retracted the ruler, stepped on Long Yudi's head with his right foot, and spat at Long Yudi. "Bah, you rubbish can't even take my attack, what's the point of practicing Taoism? You're so useless, haha."

The man with the mole smiled and walked towards the queue. Long Yu summoned the Ice Cone Sword in his mind and stabbed it directly at the man with the mole. Just as he was about to stab the man with the mole in the back, a shadowy hand grabbed Long Yu's Ice Cone Sword and smashed it into pieces.

A big hand grabbed Long Yu's body and threw him into the air. Entering a mysterious space, a man in black stood in front of Long Yu. He glanced at the disabled Long Yu and shook his head, "Long Yu relied on his status as the young master of the pavilion to disregard the rules of the pavilion and easily attacked other disciples. He also wanted to harm his fellow disciples. He deserves to be stripped of his cultivation. Considering that it is his first offense, he will be punished in the Locking Dao Peak and will never be allowed out."

Long Yu looked at the black shadow that was leaving, and he laughed out loud in the direction of the black shadow, "What a great Divine Sword Pavilion, what a great rule." Long Yu looked like he was laughing and crying. If someone else appeared in front of Long Yu, they would definitely find that Long Yu was crying.

Long Yu looked at the space around him. There was no starry sky or sun. There was only a small stone slab where he was lying. Everything else was pitch black and empty. Long Yu tried to repair his body, but found that nothing worked. His Tao power seemed to be blocked, his spiritual power was sealed, and there was no spiritual energy at all.

Long Yu didn't want to wait for death here, as Lu'er was waiting for him outside. Long Yu tried to crawl forward, but he couldn't move anything except his neck. Long Yu rubbed his chin against the stone slab, but he still couldn't move.

A faint voice came from a distance, "Don't waste your energy. Even if you use your chin to crawl to the edge, you will only fall into an endless abyss." Long Yu looked at the source of the voice, "Who are you and why are you here?"

"Haha, why? When I was fighting with other disciples, I accidentally defeated a disciple, so I came here." Long Yu listened to the sad voice and couldn't tell whether it was a male or female voice.

"Who are you?" Long Yu shouted with a weak breath, "You are almost a skeleton, how can you care who is who?" "Don't cultivators allow you to live forever? Why did you turn into a skeleton?"

"Haha, cultivating immortality can make you immortal. Look at the environment around you and think about what you can use to replenish your body, soul, and consciousness. Is it based on perseverance? Or calculate how many years you have left to live and reminisce about the people you miss."

Long Yu looked at his body and indeed no energy entered his body. Long Yu was very unwilling in his heart. Lu'er was still outside, and he hadn't rushed to say to Lu'er, "I am willing to stay with Lu'er."

Long Yu kept thinking of Lu'er in his mind, sometimes smiling, sometimes sad. Long Yu relied on fantasy to resist the pain in his body. He didn't know when he fell asleep, and in his dream he seemed to hear a sound of a flickering sound, which attracted Long Yu.

Long Yu looked over and saw Lu'er playing the piano. It sounded like a soothing song to Long Yu. He couldn't help but sit in front of Lu'er and listen carefully. He felt like he was enjoying the wind of nature and was very happy.

Long Yu listened more and more attentively, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Lu'er sitting on the plain, with only him and Lu'er. It seemed that no one was stopping them, and there were no good changes in the world.

Long Yu smiled foolishly at Lu'er, and suddenly the piano stopped playing. Lu'er walked away, and Long Yu followed behind her. Long Yu kept calling Lu'er, but Lu'er still didn't look back at him.

Long Yu stepped forward and grabbed Lu'er's hand. Suddenly, Lu'er's figure changed into the appearance of a woman in red. Long Yu quickly stepped back. A big slap hit Long Yu's face, "You useless bastard, I treated you as a brother, but you dared to hold my goddess' hand."

Long Yu glanced at Lan Shou, then at the surroundings. He returned to the place where he had just exchanged glances with the woman in red. Long Yu looked at Lan Shou and the woman in red in bewilderment, and sat on the ground in confusion.

"Let's go, Fatty. Let the Young Master think about life here for a while."

"You bitch, did you do anything to my brother?"

Long Yu watched Lan Shou and the woman in red leave the scene of the crime in a quarrel, and then looked at his own clothes, which were indeed tattered. He then looked at the people walking back and forth on the stone steps, and indeed not far away there was a man with a big mole, a woman in gray, and a man in green, and the three of them were talking about something.

Long Yu listened closer. They were not talking about Lu'er, but about how to combine the formations to make it easier to defend. Long Yu looked at the bottom of the stone steps and saw a dark figure coming up. Long Yu touched the back of his head and bumped into a woman in blue.

A palm slapped Long Yu's face loudly, and Long Yu quickly bowed to the woman in blue. The woman in blue glanced at Long Yu and quickly knelt on the floor, "Young Master, calm down. Yuan Juan didn't mean to attack you."

Long Yu pulled up Yuan Juan's body, and a big man holding an axe walked towards Long Yu. He immediately saluted Long Yu and said, "Young Pavilion Master, please calm down. My Juan has no intention of offending you."

Just when Long Yu was about to say something, the rich young man patted Long Yu on the shoulder. Long Yu looked carefully. Yuan Juan and the axe-wielding man were passing by him. But the woman in red not far away covered her mouth with her hand, bowed to the rich young man, and took Lan Shou away.

Long Yu bowed to the rich young master and said, "Thank you, Senior Qingfei, for your help. I was able to escape from the illusion." The rich young master patted Long Yu on the shoulder and said, "The ranking here is not suitable for you. I know a little about illusions. Do you want to learn from me?"

Long Yu looked at the figure of the rich young man and nodded like knocking a wooden fish, "Please give me some advice, senior." The rich young man grabbed Long Yu's shoulder with one hand, turned into a sword and disappeared in the air.

When Long Yu looked again, he appeared on a mountain peak covered with white mist. Long Yu looked at the mountain peak and saw only one peach tree with flowers. Long Yu smelled the fragrance of peach flowers and looked at the scenery in the distance.

Two cloud pools appeared under my feet, like two yin and yang. Many people moved around like ants. The rich young man sat on the edge of Longyudi. "Young Pavilion Master, look, this is the cloud pool, one of the places where the outer pavilion disciples practice. The mountain behind is also a trial field. Go in and find materials for ranking. The bronze door on the left is the challenge level, and the one on the right is the quiet meditation field."
