Those Classmates who Suddenly Disappeared-Chapter 1750: Caught in an Illusion

Ning Qi’s back shuddered slightly, but her steps did not halt for a moment. She didn’t look back at Gu Fan, appearing as if she was leaving determinedly.

Only Gu Fan was left standing alone, feeling somewhat melancholic. He didn’t know what would happen in the final battle, nor did he know what decision Ning Qi would ultimately make.

If possible, Gu Fan wanted to personally persuade the members of the New X Organization to unite and defeat the great demon king together, but he was well aware that his words carried no weight. It was all up to Ning Qi now.

Suddenly, an explosion occurred in the direction of the castle villa. The deafening sound jarred Gu Fan’s nerves, and he immediately soared into the sky, urgently heading to the battlefield.

Flying rapidly, Gu Fan saw the large patches of forest not far away swaying violently in the storm, dust stirred up, and leaves swept across the sky and earth.

Another loud bang echoed, and the furious storm blew Gu Fan away, causing him to roll uncontrollably in the sky, feeling dizzy and nauseous.

"My God, is the fight so intense?" Gu Fan dared not advance rashly, circling around for a while.

Worried about his daughter’s safety, Gu Fan couldn’t wait any longer. He dove downwards again but was once more caught in the erupting storm as he approached the battlefield.

Blown away involuntarily, Gu Fan appeared as if he was tossed, looking very miserable, appearing quite pitiable.

Gu Fan couldn’t tell how far he was blown, struggling to regain control of his form before shaking his head to clear it.

The battle over by the forest was still ongoing, with the storm erupting intermittently, making it impossible for ordinary people to approach the battlefield.

Having no choice, Gu Fan had to quickly reach the battlefield, so he took a deep breath and began ascending, continuously gaining altitude.

Gu Fan flew higher and higher, appearing like a small dot in the sky.

The strong winds from the battle down below had limited range, leaving Gu Fan at this altitude completely unaffected.

"Alright, ready, one, two, three, here I come!" Gu Fan dove from the sky, using the height and descent momentum to accelerate.

As he plunged, Gu Fan continually increased his speed, diving faster and faster, descending like a meteor crashing towards the ground.

The forest battlefield’s storm erupted again, the airwaves soaring with destructive force, snapping several sturdy trees.

However, Gu Fan’s momentum was too great, directly penetrating the storm, ignoring all obstacles. His roar akin to thunder echoed as he bravely surged forward.

At this moment, Ye Yue was confronting Qian Xue and Gu Xiaojin, their powers clashing. Initially, Ye Yue had the upper hand, aiming to deal with Qian Xue and Gu Xiaojin, but suddenly felt things were off.

A powerful oppressive force descended from the sky, enveloping the three women. Ye Yue looked up, astonished to see a formidable figure rushing towards them.

"Quick, dodge!" The three women scattered, just feeling the ground undergo a fierce impact, the shockwave spreading, blowing them away.

The ground shook violently, dust filled the air, and a huge portion of the forest was destroyed.

Standing in a large crater, Gu Fan held his head high, trying to calm his trembling body. The impact just now was too strong for him to endure.

"Damn it, just missed it." Ye Yue, affected by the shockwave, fell to the ground, her face a bit pale, and she spat out some blood.

As Ye Yue was about to use magic for healing, a tall figure landed before her, forcefully lifting her up and coldly questioning: "Do you want to die or live? If you want to live, help us rescue Qian Feng."

Ye Yue quickly replied: "I want to live, of course, I want to live. I’ll defect immediately and help you find Qian Feng now."

Hearing this, the arriving Qian Xue and Gu Xiaojin both showed disdainful expressions, secretly cursing: "This Ye Yue really is a spineless opportunist."

Gu Fan paid no mind to these thoughts, instructing Ye Yue to lead the way, emphasizing speed to prevent Organization X from having time to transfer Qian Feng.

Ye Yue promptly walked ahead obediently, indeed moving quickly as if fully devoted.

Gu Xiaojin was puzzled: "Dad, why have her guide us? After we win, we should just charge over."

To this, Gu Fan explained, since the enemy has an ambush here, it means they were prepared. Thus, they must have already transferred Qian Feng elsewhere, and Ye Yue surely knows where. freewebnøvel_com

As expected, Ye Yue led the three not towards the castle villa, but instead through the forest, heading towards a small mountain.

While guiding, Ye Yue cheerily said: "Brother, you see, little sister isn’t having it easy. Where I may have offended, please forgive me. Besides, these are your orders, and I’m just following them."

"Alright, I understand. The great demon king forced you, I won’t hold it against you, nor will I account for your betrayal when I become the great demon king in the future. I’m the one who tricked myself, okay?" Gu Fan assured for the umpteenth time he wouldn’t hold Ye Yue accountable, finally putting her at ease.

Soon, Gu Xiaojin noticed some peculiar traces on the ground, along with several footprints.

Qian Xue realized, these were the traces left when the enemy relocated Qian Feng, indicating they hadn’t gone far.

"What you’re looking for is up ahead." Ye Yue pointed to the mountain, and the tracks also led there.

Having accomplished this much, Gu Fan nodded in satisfaction, signaling for Ye Yue to continue leading the way.

Ye Yue promptly assumed a well-behaved, compliant posture, leading the three to a mountain wall and gesturing: "The person you’re looking for is there."

What appeared before the three was a heavy steel door, giving a sense of thickness, seemingly tough to breach.

Gu Fan believed behind this steel door was a laboratory-like facility built within the mountain, surely heavily guarded and difficult to deal with.

"No, something’s off?" Gu Fan had visited this area more than once, and this castle villa had been left by his second granduncle, Gu Weihai.

Back when Helen established the New X Organization, it was based at this castle villa. Gu Fan was the leader of the New X Organization, and in his memory, such a tall mountain shouldn’t be near the castle villa.

"Could it be manmade? Or..." Gu Fan was puzzled, then noticed Ye Yue’s sly smile, instantly realizing things seemed amiss, fearing he’d fallen into a trap.

Ye Yue’s figure gradually faded, becoming transparent, and eventually disappearing entirely. This was neither teleportation nor magic, but instead Gu Fan, Gu Xiaojin, and Qian Xue unwittingly caught in an illusion.
