"Don't you want to save them? Jump down! Only the Lake of Repentance can bring you back to your loved ones' embrace! Jump down! Jump down! Jump down..."
Shangguan Yulin, on his canoe, also raised his foot and leaped into the lake.
Xuanyuan Xun, Shen Liuxing, Rong Guang, and Shangguan Yulin all had smiles and tears on their faces, which looked particularly eerie in the darkness.
At this moment, a raging inferno also appeared before Ye Lingyuan's eyes.
His mother, the concubine, had used all her strength to send him out of the sea of fire, while she herself was burned to a charcoal.
The seductive voice also echoed in his mind.
"Do you want to save your mother, the concubine? As long as you jump into the Lake of Repentance, everything can go back to before that fire, and your mother, the concubine, can be saved. The Lake of Repentance can help you fulfill all your wishes, so don't hesitate, don't refuse, jump! Jump! Jump..."
"Is that so?"
Ye Lingyuan's cold voice echoed in the night.
He suddenly opened his eyes, and four Five Elements God Binding Nets appeared, instantly binding Xuanyuan Xun, Shen Liuxing, Rong Guang, and Shangguan Yulin.
The woman's singing stopped abruptly, and a tender sprout emerged from the lake, instantly growing into a large flower.
Sitting atop the large flower was a beautiful woman in green.
The woman looked at Ye Lingyuan in shock and asked, confused, "Who are you? Why are you unaffected by the illusion of repentance?"
Ye Lingyuan said with a cold face, "The illusion of repentance? They fell into your illusion?"
The green-clad woman calmly replied, "No! They fell into their own inner demons. The Lake of Repentance can stir up the most fearful and painful things in everyone's heart."
"Let them go!" Ye Lingyuan said coldly.
The green-clad woman shook her head and said, "The inner demons are their own, so only they can overcome them. I cannot help them either."
Ye Lingyuan's face darkened, "This illusion was created by you, how can you not help them?"
The green-clad woman frowned, "I truly cannot help them!"
Ye Lingyuan exuded a chilling aura and said, "If you don't release them, I will kill you!"
The green-clad woman haughtily turned her head aside and said, "Kill me then! However, don't blame me for not warning you. Although I cannot help them, if you kill me, the connection between the illusion of repentance and the outside world will be permanently sealed!"
Ye Lingyuan snorted, "So what?"
The green-clad woman said, "If the connection exists, they can break free from the illusion once they overcome their inner demons. But if the connection is permanently sealed, their souls will be locked in the illusion of repentance forever, leading to certain death!"
Ye Lingyuan frowned, "Are you trying to scare me?"
The green-clad woman indifferently replied, "If you think I'm trying to scare you, then I am trying to scare you!"
Ye Lingyuan's brow was tightly furrowed as his gaze swept over Xuanyuan Xun, Shen Liuxing, Rong Guang, and Shangguan Yulin.
However, at this moment, the four had vacant eyes, tears streaming down their faces, and the aura of sadness around them grew stronger. Su Dan Novel Network
He pondered for a moment, then shouted, "Wake up!"
This shout was extraordinary; he directly used a soul skill, which exploded in the souls of the few.
However, Xuanyuan Xun, Shen Liuxing, Rong Guang, and Shangguan Yulin remained dazed and tearful, showing no signs of waking up.
The green-clad woman mocked with a laugh, "Don't waste your effort!"
Ye Lingyuan stared at the woman with murderous intent, "Do you have a way to save them?"
The green-clad woman toyed with a strand of hair on her shoulder, "Originally, there was no way. But now..."
"What is it?" Ye Lingyuan asked coldly.
The green-clad woman looked at him curiously and said, "Now, besides letting them overcome their inner demons on their own, there is one other way."
"What way? Speak!" Ye Lingyuan's voice was sharp.
The green-clad woman was not afraid of him and said with a giggle, "I can tell you, but before that, you must answer me one question."
Ye Lingyuan said, "What question?"
The woman asked with great interest, "Tell me, how did you break free from the illusion of repentance?"
Ye Lingyuan glared at her, "I once experienced this scene in a dream woven by a Nightmare Beast, and at that time, I broke free from my inner demons."
The green-clad woman exclaimed in realization, "No wonder! I knew it was impossible for someone to break free from the illusion of repentance so easily! Since you have experienced a nightmare illusion, there's nothing strange about it!"
Ye Lingyuan said coldly, "The method!"
He didn't have time to bicker with the green-clad woman. The longer Xuanyuan Xun and the other three remained in the illusion, the greater the danger.
The green-clad woman huffed, "You're really impatient! Fine! I'll tell you! But I'll warn you beforehand, I've never used this method before, so whether it succeeds or not, I can't say for sure!"
Ye Lingyuan shouted coldly, "Speak!"
Although he was angry that the green-clad woman was treating them as test subjects, he had no other choice but to try.
The green-clad woman said, "Since you can break free from inner demons, you can try to enter the illusion they are in and help them."
"Alright! I hope you haven't lied to me. Otherwise, killing you will cause the connection to be permanently sealed, and I will show no mercy!"
After Ye Lingyuan finished speaking, he released the four mythical beasts, the Qiongqi, and instructed them to guard him. Then, he left his body and entered Xuanyuan Xun's illusion first.
When he saw Xuanyuan Xun's childhood, which resembled his own, he couldn't help but sigh.
Then, he said to the bewildered Xuanyuan Xun, "Ninth Prince, have you forgotten your mother's words? Live well. This is every mother's beautiful wish for her child! So, you should wake up!"
"Mother's wish? Live well! Live well! Live well!"
A light suddenly flashed in Xuanyuan Xun's eyes, and then the him within the illusion of repentance slowly faded.
In the Five Elements God Binding Net, Xuanyuan Xun's eyes instantly regained their color.
"Live well! Mother, I will not let down your hopes and blessings!"
As his words fell, the Five Elements God Binding Net also transformed into the power of the laws and returned to Ye Lingyuan's body.
Ye Lingyuan then entered Shen Liuxing's illusion.
When he saw the scene playing over and over again, a trace of pity arose in his heart.
He sighed and said, "Brother Shen, the mistakes of the Shen family should not be borne by you. Stop torturing yourself. Your Sister Zi is still unconscious. Don't you want to save her?"
"Sister Zi? Sister Zi! Sister Zi!"
Shen Liuxing in the illusion suddenly brightened, "That's right! I need to save Sister Zi! I need to save Sister Zi!"
After that, he disappeared from the illusion, and the Shen Liuxing in the Five Elements God Binding Net also finally regained his consciousness.
