Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don't Call Me a Demon!

Almost simultaneously, Liang Jianlan and her two companions performed the same action. An invisible Charming Illusion Technique spread out, resembling a layer of pink ambiguous veils that overwhelmingly enveloped the area.

All seven Elders of the Guan Chao Pavilion raised their Spiritual Power in an attempt to shield themselves, but they were still affected by the Illusion Technique.

Meanwhile, Mu Yue and her group were sweating profusely. Deploying this Illusion Desire Technique was a massive drain on them, so much so that Shao Mengzhu, who was already severely injured, ran out of strength during the casting, suffered a backlash from the magic, and turned into a stone statue in an instant, dying an unnatural death. This magic technique also had fatal side-effects.

On the bank of Rao Yang Lake, Su Jie, who was originally watching the battle, smacked his lips and remarked, "There are actually seven Secret Realm experts, two more than I had scouted. Lucky I didn't act rashly."

He had planned to watch the fight first and sneak over when the battle in the lake reached its climax.

However, the group of female demon cultivators went all out from the start, not only firmly controlling the Elders of Guan Chao Pavilion but also affecting Su Jie.

It proved that even being a spectator carried its risks.

Su Jie's mind was hazy, as if he had entered a state of semi-sleep, falling into an Illusion Realm.

...

In Linping City, within the campus of Finance University.

The 45th Athletic Meeting had just ended.

Dragging his weary body, Su Jie sat down on the green football field with a thud. His ears were buzzing, sweat was dripping down his forehead, and his mouth felt as dry as if it were on fire.

On the stage, the school leaders were droning on, talking about the significance and successful conclusion of the athletic meeting.

Su Jie didn't listen clearly, the ringing in his ears came in waves with his breath. All he did was unscrew his thermos bottle and guzzled down most of it voraciously, feeling his body, which had been close to collapsing from exhaustion, finally regain some vitality.

"Stupid leaders, just finish already, who wants to listen to your prattling!"

With his vitality returning, Su Jie couldn't help but curse and lay flat on the lawn, not wanting to move at all.

It was a rule of the athletic meeting that each class had to have a certain number of participants in each event, and the unfortunate Su Jie, after a heart-stopping draw, had been assigned the most miserable 3000m run.

Su Jie, who normally lacked exercise, felt completely like he had been fished out of water after the run, and it almost cost him half his life.

Hoo hoo!

Gradually catching his breath, the scorching sun above emitted copious amounts of light and heat, baking his already exhausted body and making Su Jie irresistibly close his eyes to block the piercing light.

The ringing in his ears gradually faded, the fatigue from the intense exercise made him drowsy, and he strangely felt the grass beneath him become exceptionally soft, enveloping his body as if making him comfortably divide.

"Brother Su, you look so tired, do you want me to give you a massage?"

Suddenly a fragrant breeze caressed him, and a charming voice sounded.

Su Jie was startled, almost thinking he was hallucinating from the run.

A pair of delicate hands rested on Su Jie's shoulders, gently pressing them, and to his surprise, it was a beautiful Blue Star actress named something Bingbing.

"What the hell is going on here."

Su Jie's brain found it hard to accept what was happening, feeling a sense of unreality.

"Brother Su, when are you going to answer my confession, if you don't, I'm going to stop bothering with you."

Accompanied by a spoiled and cute voice, a girl in a white skirt looking very pure and lovely ran over.

This was Su Jie's childhood friend and neighbor, but she had moved away after middle school, and they had never seen each other since. How could she now appear before him?

"Su Jie, I... I like you."

A voice that was somehow familiar entered his ears.

Su Jie turned his head and saw a graceful girl standing before him, the breeze blowing her skirt and hair, with a smile as beautiful as a blooming flower and a gaze filled with love that was nearly overflowing.

This was the campus belle of Finance University's finance department, Liu Yingying.

"Su Jie, I've been missing you."

"Su Jie, let's go on a date tomorrow."

"Su Jie, if we get married, I'll have lots of cute children for you."

"Why are there so many competitors, Brother Su, you scoundrel, hmph, I don't care, I want to be your main wife, they are no match for me."

"Ah Jie, I don't mind if you have multiple girlfriends, as long as you like me, that's good enough,"

More and more girls appeared before Su Jie, each with a distinct personality and looks—cute, charming, or sexy. Each girl was someone Su Jie had once been moved by in his heart.

But without exception, these girls were all looking at Su Jie with tender, affectionate eyes, as if they wouldn't marry anyone but him.

Such a scene, surrounded by a bevy of beauties, was the epitome of a winner of life, making one linger and forget to return, too happy to think of home.

"It's just like a dream, no wait, isn't this exactly what I'm doing—in a dream?"

Su Jie chuckled, glanced at the bunch of delicate arms and legs draped over his body, and shook his head helplessly.

"Brother Su, what are you talking about again? What dream? I really do like you!"

A girl looked at Su Jie coquettishly and pressed her red lips against his.

The next moment, Su Jie grinned, revealing a spine-chilling set of white teeth.

Bang!

Su Jie struck down with a palm, crushing the girl's head into her chest cavity.

The surrounding girls instantly quieted down, staring at Su Jie with their mouths agape.

"This illusion's logic processing is quite impressive, capable of even suppressing my memories. Ordinary people would really be immersed in this gentle trap,"

Su Jie stood up, looked around, and finally turned to Liu Yingying with a light smile. "Yingying, were you just confessing to me?"

"Yes, I... I like you. Please, be with me... be together with me. I will take care of you and love you forever and ever,"

Liu Yingying spoke haltingly, seemingly startled by Su Jie.

"The Yingying I know isn't so fussy and fretful!"

After hearing her words, Su Jie showed a look of regret and slowly lifted his right foot to stomp down heavily.

The athletic field suddenly shook violently. The earth turned upside down as if a dragon were flipping over.

"Help, help!"

"It's an earthquake, run, run!"

"Damn, what's happening."

One by one, the students on the athletic field shouted in terror, trying to escape, but the field seemed to have turned into a swamp with many students continuously sinking. The ruckus and screams of fear echoed all around.

Not just people, but the buildings too—the teaching buildings, cafeteria, library, etc., all kept sinking into the ground.

Whoosh!

A gust of wind blew over the previously bustling athletic field, now desolate and eerily silent.

Su Jie stood alone on the grass, watching pieces of the clear blue sky appearing as holes, the whole world seemed like a faded oil painting. The world returned to reality.

With a blur before his eyes, Su Jie still stood on the lakeshore. Everything he had experienced was just a dream woven by an illusion.

"What did you see in the illusion? You had a terrible smile just now,"

Next to him, Han Ruyan tilted her head and stared at Su Jie. Lacking in rich human emotions, she wasn't affected by the illusion.

"Cough cough, nothing much. This illusion is somewhat interesting, but you know me, with a will as strong as steel, completely unaffected by it,"

Su Jie cleared his throat. This illusion, utilizing Su Jie's own memories and thoughts, caused all the girls he had once been moved by to appear in the illusion, completely submissive and obedient to him.

Fortunately, Su Jie's Primordial Spirit was strong, and the distance helped weaken the power of the illusion, allowing him to break out of it so swiftly.

These female demon cultivators who were pursuing him had an unknown origin, and their methods were indeed strange. Even the Elders of the Guan Chao Pavilion had fallen victim to it on a large scale.

Turning his head to look in the distance, the expressions on the faces of the seven elders of the Guan Chao Pavilion were uncertain. It was easy to trap people in the illusion, but any act of attack would make those trapped in the illusion realize something was wrong and break free.

Among the seven, the man carrying the heavy sword became more lucid, and he was about to break free, forcing Mu Yue and the others to respond with all their might. Both sides were at a standoff in Rao Yang Lake.

"The opportunity has come."

Su Jie took a deep breath, took Han Ruyan with him, and decisively struck out, circumventing the range of the illusion and heading towards the tower where the Hundred Rivers Covering Sea Array was located.
