Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 308: Soul Illusion Technique

The members of the Celestial Sword Sect said, "We also think that’s the reason."

"The Tyrannosaurus Spear is immensely powerful, and only it could have scared away that Demon Vine."

"As for Lin Xuan mastering Sword Intent, it’s absolutely impossible."

The crowd had a sudden realization. So that was how it was! That Tyrannosaurus Spear was truly formidable.

"It seems that Lin Xuan scaring away the Tyrannosaurus Spear earlier was just a fluke."

"Certainly. The Tyrannosaurus Spear previously annihilated a mid-stage One-Star Grandmaster instantly. Its power is terrifying in the extreme."

"I estimate that even Wushuang’s half-step Sword Intent couldn’t withstand the Tyrannosaurus Spear."

The crowd discussed this excitedly.

The Crown Prince asked, "You said Lin Xuan was just here? Where did he go?"

The mere mention of Lin Xuan made the Crown Prince grit his teeth, his aura turning murderous. What he wanted most now was to capture Lin Xuan and torture him to death.

"He went to that ancient palace," someone said, pointing to the open palace gates.

"Let’s go," the Crown Prince said, quickly rushing inside. The men from the Celestial King’s Mansion followed behind. After they entered, the other families and sects also said, "Let’s go in too," and they all filed in one after another.

The disciples of the Celestial Sword Sect left a trace of Sword Qi nearby so that Wushuang would be able to sense it once he arrived. Then they too went inside.

「On the other side」

Chu Yue also led her people into the palace. After entering, they discovered the space inside was far more expansive than they had imagined. It was endlessly vast, like a small city.

It seemed their only option was to split up and search for Treasures before regrouping later. With that, everyone began to act separately. Some acted alone, while others formed small teams of two or three and rushed off into the distance.

As for the Crown Prince, he charged straight for the depths of the palace. He wanted to find Lin Xuan and kill him to sate his hatred.

Lin Xuan and his group had been the first to enter, and once inside, they too split up. Ye Qingwu and the others quickly dispersed in all directions, while Lin Xuan rushed straight ahead. Soon, he saw a secret room. He opened it and went inside. After entering, he found the room contained a desk, a bookshelf, and a scroll hanging on the wall. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Lin Xuan glanced at the scroll. It depicted a person, a woman in a white dress, but her face was obscured by a fox-like mask. Lin Xuan was very curious and stared at the mask intently.

But the next moment, his mind spun, and he felt the world turning upside down. The surrounding void twisted, as if he was being sucked into the scroll.

Not good. Lin Xuan’s expression changed drastically. He tried to counterattack but found it was impossible. He seemed to have entered the world of the scroll. The woman in white from the scroll actually began walking toward him. She transformed into a white fox and pounced.

Lin Xuan’s hair stood on end. He let out a low dragon’s roar, which startled the white fox. The white fox paused, looking at Lin Xuan with uncertainty, but then it quickly pounced again. Just as it was about to land on him, a bronze light suddenly radiated from his body.

The white fox was struck by the bronze light and let out a miserable scream, instantly disintegrating into fragments. Afterward, the world stopped spinning, and Lin Xuan found himself back in the room. Everything that had just happened seemed like a dream. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, realizing he was drenched in cold sweat.

"Kid, are you alright?" the big black dog’s voice rang out.

Lin Xuan looked at the scroll with lingering fear, this time not daring to look at the fox mask. He asked, "What happened? I felt like I was just sucked into the scroll!"

"You were caught in an Illusion Technique."

"This scroll is a trap. It possesses a powerful Illusion Technique."

"Just one look, and your Soul is struck by the Illusion Technique."

"Did you save me?" Lin Xuan asked, his face still pale with fear. An Illusion Technique... that’s a Soul attack! This ancient palace is truly terrifying!

The big black dog said, "There was no need for me to act. The bronze box you carry saved you!"

The bronze box. Lin Xuan paused, then took out the bronze box from his Storage Ring. He had obtained it at Purple Mountain, and it was covered with mysterious bronze patterns. Lin Xuan couldn’t open it. He never expected it to save his life at such a critical moment. He asked, "What exactly is this thing?"

The big black dog said, "This is a Soul-type Treasure."

"The Illusion Technique you just experienced was a Soul attack. This item blocked it and saved you."

So that’s how it was. Lin Xuan had a sudden realization. This bronze Treasure Box was truly a Treasure. He carefully stored it away and then looked toward the desk and bookshelf. He flipped through the books, discovering that they weren’t records of Martial Arts, just some very ordinary books.

Lin Xuan sighed, "Seems like there are no Treasures here!"

But the big black dog said, "No, the scroll is a Treasure! It possesses a strong Illusion Technique that you can use against enemies. However, you can’t use it right now because your Soul Power is still too weak. When you become a Grandmaster and cultivate your Soul Power, you’ll be able to control this scroll. For now, you can take it and use it for self-defense."

Lin Xuan nodded. He carefully rolled up the scroll, making sure not to look at the fox mask.

Then, Lin Xuan left the secret room and continued onward. There were many secret rooms within this great hall, and not only had Lin Xuan found one, but Ye Qingwu and the others had also discovered them. They too went in, and soon, battles broke out.

Apart from the people from the Heavenly Dao Academy, members of other families and sects had also arrived. They began exploring the secret rooms as well. The entire palace instantly became bustling, with booming sounds echoing everywhere as various Spiritual Power storms swept through the halls.

"Damn it, where is that kid?" the Crown Prince roared madly. He hadn’t found Lin Xuan anywhere along his path.

The Disciple from the Celestial King’s Mansion following behind him said, "Let’s stop looking for that kid for now and search for Treasures first. We’ve passed several secret rooms on the way. There must be Treasures inside."

"Yes, Crown Prince. Let’s seize the Treasures first. As for that kid, there will be plenty of chances to deal with him later."

The Crown Prince stopped and said, "It seems that’s all we can do for now! Let’s go. We’ll explore the secret rooms."

They no longer rushed forward but turned back to explore the secret rooms they had passed before. On their way back, one of his companions said, "I think Lin Xuan is just hiding. He doesn’t dare to confront you, Crown Prince."

Another companion added, "Crown Prince, finding Lin Xuan is simple. You can capture a Disciple from the Heavenly Dao Academy to threaten him. He’ll surely show up obediently then."

A good idea. The Crown Prince nodded. Just then, they encountered people from the Heavenly Dao Academy.

"It’s Ye Qingwu!" a companion exclaimed. "She’s Lin Xuan’s senior martial sister, and they have an exceptional relationship."

The Crown Prince’s eyes lit up instantly upon hearing this. He stared at Ye Qingwu, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
