Chapter 134 - 134: 129: Playing with Human Heart in the Illusory Realm

But considering the daunting power of his opponent, he eventually relented.

Feeling the icy gaze roaming over his body, he put on a mournful face and said, “Alright, elder.”

He then activated a spell.

A rock pillar rumbled and rose from the sea bed, Zhao Er dejectedly said,

“Elder, please!”

With that, he walked into the staircase at the center of the rock pillar.

Li Fan scanned the surroundings with his divine consciousness.

After studying the Jade Scroll for more than a year, he was no longer clueless about array techniques.

This rock pillar contained only a few simple water control and Dust Cleaning Arrays; there was no trace of any offensive formations.

However, Li Fan didn’t let down his guard. He activated a Body Guarding Talisman before stepping in behind.

Apparently, Li Fan was being overly cautious.

The inside of this rock pillar was indeed quite crude.

Most of it was storage rooms to store collected items.

Zhao Er led Li Fan to a relatively spacious room.

In the middle was a large table, on it was what appeared to be a miniature model of Misthaven Ocean.

“Elder, please have a seat,” Zhao Er mumbled uneasily.

Li Fan nonchalantly sat down, and looking at Zhao Er’s pallid face, he asked, “Shall I inquire one by one, or will you confess?

Zhao Er opened his mouth as if to say something. But all he could muster was an awkward smile that was uglier than crying. “Elder, I don’t know what you want me to confess?”

Li Fan let out a cold humph; the Binding Worm technique was put into motion again.

Zhao Er was immediately immobilized.

With the Blue Flame Spirit under his command, a visible chill spread from the ground like a blue icy serpent slowly crawling up Zhao Er. In an instant, Zhao Er’s legs had been frozen by the blue ice crystals.

“I’m curious, with your cultivation level, could you survive if your body shatters into ice shards?” Li Fan speculated.

Fear flashed across Zhao Er’s face, but he quickly suppressed it.

There was no sign of pleas for mercy. Rather, he seemed willing to face death before dishonor.

Li Fan noticed this as well, realizing that Zhao Er was not pretending.

“Interesting.” Li Fan let out a chuckle, apprehended Zhao Er, and took him to the storage room next door.

A look of panic crossed Zhao Er’s eyes.

“Oh wow, the stuff in here looks really nice. It must have taken you a lot of work to collect these,” Li Fan ran his hand lightly over the object which seemed to have existed for a long time.

“Smash!”

While he was examining a porcelain bowl, he casually threw it onto the floor.

“Tsk tsk, I’m truly sorry. I was careless and broke it,” Li Fan stated, feigning regret.

“Smash!”

Another piece of ceramic ware was shattered.

A fury was ignited in Zhao Er’s eyes as he glared at Li Fan.

He wanted Li Fan torn to pieces.

But as the items in the room, frail artifacts of old were destroyed one after another.

Zhao Er’s gaze gradually changed from vicious to heartbreaking, from angst to panic.

And then, from panic to pleading.

However, Li Fan showed no intention of stopping.

Together, they toured each room inside the rock pillar, while Zhao Er watched as his treasured collection was destroyed in the blink of an eye.

Looking at the debris all over the ground, Zhao Er was filled with despair.

The moment Li Fan lost control over him, Zhao Er threw himself forward and broke into tears.

His sobs echoing throughout, his desolation was too pitiful to behold.

Zhao Er found, while crying, that the fragments in his hand had disappeared.

He was still being controlled, remaining in the original room.

It turned out that everything that had just transpired was merely an illusion!

The intense rollercoaster of emotions from joy to the deepest dues of sorrow almost suffocated Zhao Er.

With the binding gone, Zhao Er collapsed onto the floor.

He felt weak all over but struggled to run to the storage room next door. Seeing his beloved collectables untouched, he cried out in pure joy. But his tears made the scene even more tragic.

The illusion Zhao Er had just experienced was ten thousand times more terrifying than his worst nightmares.

He didn’t want to go through that again!

“Now do you know what to confess?” The voice that resonated like a nightmare resounded in his ear, raising goosebumps all over Zhao Er. He felt that the opponent’s ability to manipulate people’s hearts was far too dreadful.

“I’ll tell you… I’ll tell you everything,” he stammered, saying over and over.

Fearing that Li Fan would indeed destroy his entire collection.

The two of them returned; Li Fan sat down and Zhao Er obediently stood by his side.

Zhao Er opened his mouth, wanting to speak, but ultimately hesitated.

After a long while, Zhao Er finally stuttered, “My name is Zhao Erbao. I’m a local cultivator from Misthaven Ocean. I’m sixty-eight years old…”

Li Fan responded with annoyance to Zhao Er’s introduction, interrupting him abruptly, “Who asked you to confess this? I’m asking about the use of these items you’ve collected.”

“Where is this place you mentioned?”

“Why didn’t you transport them with the Storage Ring and instead carried them personally with the Flying Boat?”

Each time Li Fan asked a question, Zhao Er shuddered even more.

When Li Fan finished questioning, Zhao Er frowned, saying, “Elder, you really do have vast divine powers, there’s nothing I can hide from you.”

He paused for a moment, seemingly trying to form his words.

After a while, Zhao Er hesitantly replied, “The reason I have dedicated my life to collecting these antiques is because of a secret I discovered back when I was just a mortal.”

“A secret?” Li Fan looked at Zhao Er with interest, waiting for him to continue.

Zhao Er nodded, “My family has been in the antique business for generations. Immersed in this environment since childhood, I was always interested in the antiques salvaged from the deep sea.”

“Perhaps because of my talent, I was always able to easily differentiate genuine antiques from fakes.”

“As a result, my family gradually transferred all appraisal tasks to me. I had the opportunity to examine a large number of antiques every day.”

“And because of this, I faintly uncovered a secret hidden in the dust of history.” “The Misthaven Ocean appears to once have been the site of a lost civilization.”

As Zhao Er spoke, his demeanor grew stern, his eyes narrowed as if he were recalling something.

“The objects from this civilization have a distinct style, clearly different from other periods in the history of Misthaven Ocean.”

“These antiques stored in my base all belong to this civilization.”

Li Fan nodded slowly, “So, what’s so special about this civilization? I see that these objects are quite old, but they appear to be ordinary items. For an Energy Refining Cultivator like you, they should be of no use, right?”

“Indeed, these objects themselves have not much value. What’s most valuable is what they carry,” Zhao Er replied.

“Elder, do you know that there are ruins of buildings everywhere at the bottom of the Misthaven Ocean?”

Changing the subject, Zhao Er suddenly asked..
