324: Chapter 324 A Lighthouse in the Dark

[Hua Yuetong and Hua Xingtong's Illusion]

They are locked in a dark basement, hands and feet in shackles.

A twisted-looking playboy holds a whip, lashing them wantonly, his mouth full of insults.

"Light and Dark Twins? Heh, hilarious!"

"You're just my toys, so stop acting so high and mighty!"

"You didn't think I bought you to make a contract, did you? What are you dreaming of?"

"Go take a look in the mirror and know your place before you speak!"

The sisters huddle together, enduring physical pain and mental humiliation.

Their former liveliness and laughter are gone, leaving only endless fear and despair.

Will they finally die in despair amidst endless torment?

[Chu Feiyu's Illusion]

She is driven out of the house by Bai Song like a stray dog.

Afterwards, she awakens, but it is an F-rank bloodline!

Her Phoenix bloodline is dormant; she cannot prove her worth at all, and it even invites endless mockery.

Bai Song appears before her with Yun Zhiyao, looking at her with eyes full of mockery and disdain: "Look, trash is trash. You still want to cling to my Bai Family? Keep dreaming, you piece of trash!"

The immense humiliation, along with the sweet responses from before she awakened, gnaw at her heart.

Finally, unable to bear the disparity, she stands at the edge of a high cliff, closes her eyes, and leaps off—

[Yun Zhiyao's Illusion]

She sees everything Bai Song does.

To prove his loyalty to her, he continuously suppresses Chu Feiyu.

After seeing Chu Feiyu awaken an F-rank bloodline, she feels completely at ease and agrees to contract with Bai Song that night.

However, that night, who knows what possessed Bai Song.

He actually defects to the Demon Abyss Cult, brings back a woman named Red Snake, and declares that Red Snake will be his contract object from now on!

At the same time, he forces her to join as an insider, otherwise, he will destroy the Yun Family.

She has no choice but to wear the Demon Abyss Cult's attire, her heart filled with despair.

Finally, the strong figures of the Dragon Kingdom breach the Sect's stronghold, and she is captured as a remnant of the Demon Abyss.

Amidst the angry and scornful gazes of countless people, she is pushed to the gallows—

[Lilian's Illusion]

Through future foresight, she successfully steals the final potion from the Demon Abyss Cult.

However, since then, the power of prophecy has never activated again.

It clearly told her before to go find Chen Yi, so she could awaken her true power.

It also told her how to cross the Demon Abyss Cult's heavy defenses!

But now, it is suddenly gone!

It is as if Chen Yi was just someone she imagined, mistaking her dream for a future prophecy—

Finally, as an ordinary person, Lilian fails to escape the Demon Abyss Cult's pursuit, is captured alive, sent to the experimental table, and undergoes endless torment—

[Black Rose's Illusion]

She is captured and taken into the Demon Abyss Cult's base, handcuffed, and forced to kneel beneath a cold throne.

The supreme Queen Wuming looks down at her, her eyes icy cold!

"Traitor—Black Rose, you have disappointed me too much!"

"As a Demon Empress, you actually developed feelings, fell in love with a Beast Tamer man, and even betrayed us for him!"

"What say you in your defense?"

As soon as the words fall, an invisible force grips her throat and lifts her up.

Surrounding her are the cold or mocking gazes of other Demon Emperors.

Torture is inflicted upon her, and she clearly feels her life slipping away bit by bit.

Finally, in the endless darkness and loneliness, her consciousness completely sinks.

[Shi Yuying's Illusion]

She finally finds her daughter—Su Taotao, and confirms her identity!

However, the Su Taotao before her stares at her with eyes full of incomparable disgust and hatred!

"Hmph, Demon Empress, still trying to disturb my mind? Go to hell!"

Su Taotao erupts with powerful Taotie Power and attacks her without hesitation.

Shi Yuying's heart is torn to pieces; she possesses the power to easily subdue her daughter, but how could she lay a hand on her own child?

In the instant Su Taotao's full-force attack strikes, she does not resist or dodge; instead, she welcomes it, using her body to bear all the force.

Before her consciousness dissipates, she glances at Su Taotao's expression.

She finds that she still wears a look of contempt!

"Demon Empress, still trying to deceive me?"

Shi Yuying sighs deeply.

Sure enough, having become a Demon Empress, she is simply not fit to be a mother again—

---

Time passes slowly.

At this moment, Chen Yi is immersed in the illusions of The girls' tragic deaths, his inner world almost completely collapsing.

That feeling of helpless despair, and the regret of not stopping them from doing dangerous things, is a thousand times stronger than any physical pain!

He roars and struggles, but he cannot change this established reality.

And just at the moment when his consciousness is about to be completely swallowed by darkness, a clear prompt sound suddenly rings out!

[Ding! Detected that the Host's heart is about to collapse, containing strong negative energy, which has affected mental stability!]

[It is recommended that the Host immediately consume 50 Enhancement Points to initiate the mental purification program, forcibly stabilize the mind, and break free from the illusion!]

Chen Yi jolts violently!

Illusion!

Wait, this is just an illusion!

Why did he believe all this was real?

"Purify! Purify immediately!"

He shouts frantically in his heart.

[Ding! Purifying...]

[Purification complete!]

A cool energy instantly flows through Chen Yi's entire body!

The mountain of corpses and sea of blood before his eyes, and the scenes of The girls' tragic deaths shatter like a broken mirror, dissipating into nothingness!

He opens his eyes abruptly, panting heavily, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

Looking around, it is still that twisted darkness.

But in the distance, a white light spot emitting a faint glow stands quietly at the end of his vision.

Looking at that faint light, Chen Yi instantly understands the meaning of the rule.

[Find the only beacon in the darkness]

Presumably, that light seems capable of stabilizing the mind and dispelling the aftermath of the illusion!

He immediately looks at The girls beside him.

He sees that all The girls are lying on the ground, eyes closed tightly, brows furrowed, their faces filled with various negative emotions such as pain, fear, and sadness.

Their bodies twitch from time to time, clearly still struggling in that terrifying, realistic illusion.

"I must take them to the beacon!"

Chen Yi does not hesitate in the slightest and acts immediately.

He first picks up Su Taotao and Lin Mengxue, who are closest to him, and runs quickly towards the beacon.

The moment Chen Yi, carrying Su Taotao and Lin Mengxue, steps into the range covered by the light spot, the two girls' tightly furrowed brows slowly relax, and the painful expressions on their faces are gradually replaced by a kind of tranquility.

Although they do not wake up immediately, it can be seen from their expressions.

That illusion seems to have changed from a nightmare into a sweet dream!

"It really is like this!"

Chen Yi dares not stop, going back and forth again and again, picking up Luo Shiyin, Yan Jiuyue, Hua Yuetong, Hua Xingtong, Chu Feiyu, Yun Zhiyao, Lilian, Black Rose, Shi Yuying, and her Contracted Spirit Beast one by one, and sending them under that light.
