Invincible Young Master in the City-Chapter 1600 - 1596: Saving Li Zhaojun (Part 2)

Ye Fan wanted to forcibly bring Li Zhaojun out of the illusion before him. He initially thought this would be a simple task, but when his hand was about to touch Li Zhaojun’s body, he realized it was impossible.

Neither his arm nor his body could actively make contact with Li Zhaojun.

"What’s going on?" Ye Fan looked at the scene before him in confusion.

Xi He sneered coldly: "Ye Fan, did you really think breaking this illusion was so easy? I forgot to tell you, in the illusion, as long as the person ensnared doesn’t want to leave, no one can take her away!"

Only then did Ye Fan realize that if Li Zhaojun didn’t willingly leave with him, he could not take her out of the illusion. This was also what made Xi He so cruel and vicious. If Ye Fan couldn’t gain Li Zhaojun’s trust, he felt the difficulty of taking her would be immense. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"Ye Fan, weren’t you so confident? Haha, it seems you’ve outsmarted yourself!" Xi He suddenly remarked.

Ye Fan also noticed that something was off.

Earlier, Li Zhaojun had some doubts because their energies could merge, but then became wary when Ye Fan tried to forcibly take her away. Unable to determine if the person in front of her was Ye Fan, her instinct was that this was someone threatening her, so the Ye Fan before her seemed fake.

"Indeed, you’re imitating Ye Fan’s cultivation. I’m going to kill you all!"

Furious at being ridiculed, Li Zhaojun drew her magic sword and lunged at Ye Fan. Her sword was no longer the Ice Cold Sword she had used before, but seemed like a sword conjured by the illusion, sharing characteristics with Li Zhaojun. Ye Fan couldn’t use any physical means or force to touch this sword, yet it could contact Ye Fan actively.

In other words, Li Zhaojun could use this sword to kill Ye Fan, but Ye Fan had no ability to harm or restrain Li Zhaojun.

"Zhaojun, listen to me!" Ye Fan still wanted to explain something, but Li Zhaojun wasn’t giving him any chance to explain. Ye Fan knew everything was riding on this moment; if he couldn’t make Li Zhaojun fully believe what he said, he couldn’t take her away, and even though Li Zhaojun’s cultivation was quite low, she could still hurt or even kill him.

At this moment, Li Zhaojun, like a wild woman, launched continuous attacks on Ye Fan. Since Ye Fan had lost the ability to fight Li Zhaojun, he could only dodge her attacks, trying to find a way to gain her trust.

...

"The master is in trouble!"

Suddenly, the Su Nu in the secret realm of Pan Gu at the Death Sea remarked.

Xuan Nu observed Su Nu and asked, "Did you hear what Ye Fan said?"

Su Nu, looking at Xi He, who had her eyes closed, said, "I can sense Xi He is creating trouble for the master and mistress!"

Su Nu wanted to go "teach" Xi He a lesson, but Xuan Nu stopped her, saying, "Ye Fan is still in the illusion. Even if you torture her or kill her, what good will it do? If the illusion fully penetrates another dimension as a result, do you think you’ll still have a chance to survive?"

"Xuan Nu is more sensible. Su Nu, you should learn from Xuan Nu. After all, your sister was the first-generation cultivator and holds a much higher status than you!" Nuwa, who was restrained by Xuan Nu nearby, said with a sarcastic tone.

Su Nu was furious, just about to retort, when Lei Zu, who hadn’t spoken yet, said, "Su Nu, I advise you to stop. Even if you torture Xi He, her spiritual power won’t be affected. Moreover, when she created all the illusions here, she anticipated all possible scenarios. If she dies, then the illusion she created will continue endlessly. Not only Ye Fan’s women, but even Ye Fan himself won’t be able to escape!"

"What do you mean? I can’t lay a finger on her?" Su Nu said angrily.

"If you want to strike, no one will stop you. But you should consider your own strength! If you wish to become completely annihilated, you can try; otherwise, just wait until your master comes out. I believe Ye Fan will find a way to rescue Li Zhaojun and my daughter!" Xuan Nu said.

When Xuan Nu mentioned her daughter, Lei Zu looked at her with a slightly admiring expression and said, "Xuan Nu, I admire you. You exchanged your entire cultivation for your daughter to become a normal human!"

"Lei Zu, can’t you do the same?" Xuan Nu asked.

Lei Zu shook her head: "When my daughter was born, I was controlled by Xi He, that wicked woman. She prevented me from sacrificing myself. To this day, I haven’t even truly seen my daughter, not even knowing where she is now!"

Su Nu explained, "The master has a way to let your daughter gain a human body like yours!"

"I know!" Lei Zu replied, "I really hope that day comes, but I may never be able to see my daughter!"

Xuan Nu comforted, "There will always be a chance. After Ye Fan comes out, he has seen your daughter and might have some clues! I just wonder how his rescue of Li Zhaojun is going now."

...

...

In the illusion, Ye Fan was still being "hunted" by Li Zhaojun.

Li Zhaojun’s "demonic nature" was fully unleashed, causing massacre after massacre in the illusionary Hua Hai City. Each slaughter resulted in the deaths of dozens to thousands of people, and the military had been deployed in the illusion to suppress Li Zhaojun, but it was all in vain.

"Zhaojun, what you see in front of you is indeed all illusions, but you have to believe me. I can take you away from here! Come with me!" Ye Fan kept trying to persuade Li Zhaojun, knowing well his continual retreat caused the people of Hua Hai trouble.

Yet Ye Fan didn’t feel guilty, as he knew the illusions were fake and those Li Zhaojun killed were just phantoms created by Xi He.

"Zhaojun, you need to snap out of it!" Ye Fan was still trying to persuade her, but Li Zhaojun’s attacks gave him no chance to explain. Their battle was completely one-sided, with Li Zhaojun, using her not particularly high cultivation, pressing Ye Fan to the brink.

At this moment, Xi He’s voice came through: "Ye Fan, don’t say I didn’t warn you. Each moment you spend in the illusion, your cultivation is being absorbed by me. If you can’t leave the illusion before my cultivation is restored, I will break through your restrictions on me, kill both Su Nu and Xuan Nu, and leave not a single one of the women around you!"

Ye Fan did indeed feel his cultivation leaking away.

He was a bit tense now, but he thought of something crucial and said, "Zhaojun, there are things that only you and I know, with no third person aware. If I say them now, you must believe me, right?"
