Beast Taming Mad Concubine: The Useless Young Lady is Back!

"I remember now, I remember now!"

"This way, this way!"

Ye Qing'an and Yi Moxu walked a little further before Ye Qing'an frowned and said, "Why does it feel like it's been a long time since we've encountered an illusion?"

Yi Moxu pursed his lips: "It's probably because we easily broke through the illusions they set up both times, causing them to lose two Night Elves. So they're scared and don't dare to create illusions easily."

Ye Qing'an nodded: "However, it's just that they dare not easily create illusions."

"There must be even more powerful illusions waiting for us."

Ye Qing'an could already faintly hear the sound of water coming from not far away.

Ye Qing'an walked quickly toward the direction from which the sound of water came and saw a stream in front of her.

The stream was clear, and fish were swimming leisurely in it.

Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes, bent down, and put her hand into the water. Starting from where Ye Qing'an's hand was placed, ice began to form little by little around her.

Soon, the stream froze completely.

Yi Moxu, who was standing nearby, had already searched several places around the area: "Our prediction was correct. However, I carefully examined the roots of many trees and vines around the area. Although there does seem to be a central control point inside, and it seems that someone has dug some gaps to hide in, there is no Nightshade inside."

"No Nightshade?"

Yi Moxu nodded: "No."

"Where did they go?"

Yi Moxu narrowed his eyes: "Either they have concentrated in a secret chamber formed by a certain root, or they have another hiding place."

Ye Qing'an raised her eyes and exchanged a glance with Yi Moxu. Both of them fell silent.

Jiuxiao peeked out from Yimoxu's shoulder: "If they're all clustered together, it'll be really hard to find. We'll have to search tree by tree..."

"Moreover, those secret rooms down there might not only be secret rooms, but also secret passages."

"If there are any secret passages, we can investigate from behind while they can run away from below. We certainly can't keep up with their speed of investigation."

Ye Qing'an tucked her fingers into her sleeve and remained silent for a while.

"Does that mean we have to freeze the entire island into ice? But that would consume a lot of spiritual energy, and there's no guarantee it will work."

"Use fire?" Ye Qing'an licked his lips: "If it's underground, fire won't be able to harm the people below."

Yi Moxu was silent for a moment before saying, "Have you forgotten? We had already arranged for people to go to this island."

Ye Qing'an looked up. Yes, it seemed that they had not seen any trace of Ghost Shadow and Water Kirin since they arrived on the island.

"Since we're planning to completely destroy the Nightshade Clan anyway, and don't have any other plans, why don't we just summon them?"

Jiuxiao blinked: "Just destroy them all, without any other plans?"

“But…” Jiuxiao sighed, “But didn’t you say that there aren’t many Night Elves in this Night Elf Clan’s territory, and those left behind are mostly Night Elves with weak abilities? The truly powerful Night Elves were all dispatched long ago. If we destroy it directly, how will we find those Night Elves that were dispatched?”

Yi Moxu scoffed, "To find those Night Elves outside, all we need is Liu Enze, whom we currently control. Besides Liu Enze, don't we also have Ye Zirui?"

"With the destruction of the Night Demon Clan's territory, those Night Demons became rootless wanderers. In addition, Liu Enze and Ye Zirui, among others, all perished. Even if a few Night Demons still survive in the world, it's not a big deal."

Ye Qing'an nodded: "Then we should just exterminate the entire Night Demon Clan."

Yi Moxu raised his hand, put it to his lips, and whistled.

Soon, Ye Qing'an saw a shadow peel off from the ground and then stand up.

Even though she had witnessed the appearance of the ghost, Ye Qing'an was still somewhat shocked each time.

The ghostly figure chuckled, "Actually, I've been following you all along. I've been waiting for the right time for you to call me out."

"I waited so long before you finally called me out. Do you know how boring I am?"

"You've been here for quite some time now, what have you found out?" Yi Moxu asked.

Ghostly Shadow sighed softly, "Actually, I've been wanting to remind you for a while now that you've been investigating in the wrong direction."

"Have you ever considered that those underground chambers and secret passages built along the root system were deliberately created to mislead you?"

Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes: "Trying to mislead us?"

"You should..."

Before the ghost could finish speaking, the surrounding light and shadows suddenly shifted, and everything in front of one's eyes seemed to be swaying, making one dizzy.

Ye Qing'an took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and tried to steady herself, but she felt a pair of hands quickly grip hers.

Then, everything around seemed to gradually stabilize.

When Ye Qing'an opened her eyes, she saw Yi Moxu looking around at her surroundings.

Ye Qing'an frowned, looked down at Yi Moxu's hand holding hers, and there was a knot tied between their sleeves.

"This is……"

"We've entered another illusion."

Yi Moxu's voice was relatively calm: "It's probably because Ghost Shadow's words exposed their secret. They didn't expect us to have Ghost Shadow, so they panicked a bit."

"Then they forced us into the illusion."

"You forced us into an illusion?"

Yi Moxu nodded, his brows furrowing slightly, seemingly puzzled: "Forced entry into the illusion is one thing, but what I don't understand is, where is this illusion? It's definitely not the Night Demon Clan's territory, but I've never seen such a scene before, nor have I ever been to this place."

"Didn't you say before that the illusions woven by the Night Demon Clan are based on the thoughts and ideas in the minds of those within those illusions?"

Ye Qing'an was slightly taken aback. She looked up and saw a scene that was very familiar to her.

Ye Qing'an took a deep breath. This illusion was probably woven from what she thought and imagined.

"This place seems to be a royal palace? But it's not the royal palace of the Siyou Kingdom..."

"In fact, I have also visited other countries during these six years, and this is not the royal palace of other countries."

As Yi Moxu spoke, she turned to look at Ye Qing'an.

Ye Qing'an nodded: "Yes, this is not the Tianlong Continent."

Seeing the growing doubt in Yi Moxu's eyes, Ye Qing'an's expression grew even calmer.

"This is the Xuanming Continent, the Nine Cloud Kingdom."

As soon as Ye Qing'an finished speaking, a palace maid rushed over: "Miss, what are you doing here? His Majesty is angry, and we can't appease him. The Grand Tutor is looking for you."
