Chapter 446 - 435: Encountering the Little Fox
"Clan Leader, let’s go ask him now."
Tu Jiujiu’s clear eyes sparkled with excitement.
Finally, they could make contact with the Human Race!
They had been in the Great Yan Imperial Capital for several days, and the Beauty Clan Leader hadn’t given her any opportunity to interact with the Humans at all. Even if she wanted to taste some good food or see beautiful clothes, she had to use Illusion Techniques to baffle them, drop some Spirit Stones, and take the items without any conversation.
"Have you forgotten what I taught you again?"
The Beauty Clan Leader glanced at the little fox, feeling quite helpless.
She had reminded Tu Jiujiu more than once, but the little fox didn’t take it seriously and still did whatever she pleased.
Seeing the Beauty Clan Leader about to lecture her again, Tu Jiujiu’s previously excited little head drooped instantly.
"Hmph, I’ll deal with you later!"
Seeing her like this, the Beauty Clan Leader snorted coldly, and didn’t pursue the matter further.
The urgent task now was to find that...
ptooey, ptooey, ptooey.
That Human who successfully passed the Celestial Tribulation.
If they missed this chance, who knows how long it would be until he left the Imperial Palace again.
"Hmm?!"
Qin Yu had just walked out of the Carefree Pavilion area when he keenly sensed subtle anomalies around him.
In the faint morning light, the streets were already bustling, full of chatter and noise, seemingly no different from usual, lively as ever.
However, a faint, imperceptible ripple stirred in Qin Yu’s heart.
The scene before him seemed the same, yet he couldn’t shake a feeling of dissonance.
He couldn’t pinpoint the specific reason, though.
"This Human’s Spiritual Perception is indeed quite sharp."
The Beauty Clan Leader’s brows furrowed slightly.
This Human had just stepped into the Illusion Realm she had set up and already detected something unusual, which was truly surprising to her.
However, even if that guy noticed something was off, so what?
Her Illusion Techniques couldn’t be escaped by any Cultivator below Half-Venerable, even those Humans with advanced Spiritual Power couldn’t forcibly break through her illusions.
Qin Yu scanned the street, each figure vivid and lifelike. If he hadn’t already cultivated a Nascent Soul, deepening his understanding of the world, he might not have noticed anything unusual.
He reached out, grabbing a steaming bun from a nearby stall.
The bun was steaming hot, even exuding warmth. The vendor watched him vividly yet didn’t hurry him to pay.
With a slight frown, Qin Yu focused his mind, letting his Spiritual Power surge. The steaming bun in his hand transformed into nothingness.
"Is this, an illusion?"
Qin Yu murmured, frowning.
This was the Great Yan Imperial Capital, who dared to cause trouble here?
"Celestial Eye!"
Qin Yu softly intoned in his heart, and an eye slowly opened at his brow.
In the next moment, everything on the street subtly shifted, gradually appearing more real.
"Oh? What kind of Pupil Technique can break through my illusion?"
The Beauty Clan Leader was somewhat surprised.
Although she had casually set up the illusion, it shouldn’t be so easily seen through by this newly stepped Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
Because Qin Yu had Dao Rhyme on him, she made this judgment.
Indeed, Qin Yu could now, through his Nascent Soul, connect with the Power of the Great Dao between heaven and earth, something only a Foundation Establishment Cultivator could achieve.
"So it is a Pupil Technique..."
The Beauty Clan Leader’s lips curved into a slight smile, then she lightly clenched her hand, causing a peach blossom to appear out of thin air. With her slender, jade-like fingers, she gently pinched it, and the blossom burst into pink light dust, quickly merging into the air.
Qin Yu rapidly sifted through his thoughts. Recently, he had been behaving well, mostly accompanying the Empress Dowager and Little Ling’Er, aside from visiting the Carefree Pavilion once.
Unlike last time, when he inadvertently wandered into the Flower Fairy’s courtyard and accidentally saw something he shouldn’t have.
He stood in place, pondering for a long time, unable to figure out who he might have offended.
"Better to head back to the Imperial Palace quickly."
Qin Yu murmured.
Whoever it was, since they didn’t dare confront him openly, they must be wary of the Empress.
He didn’t believe that whoever was in the shadows would dare cause trouble at the Great Yan Imperial Palace.
Even a being of the Flower Fairy’s level had to suppress their killing intent under the Empress’s presence, forced to compromise.
However, Qin Yu soon discovered that the sense of unreality had returned.
This time, his expression finally grew serious.
Even when he was already on alert, he hadn’t detected any anomaly and still got drawn back into the illusion.
Moreover, when he used the Celestial Eye again, he could indeed see traces of the illusion, but there were layer upon layer of illusions, seemingly without end.
Such exquisite Illusion Techniques were simply unimaginable!
What fearsome power did the person behind the scenes possess?
"Can’t escape now, can you?"
The Beauty Clan Leader’s lips curved into a playful smile.
Although his Pupil Technique could break through her illusion, it was unexpected, she could easily create layer upon layer of Illusion Realms with her strength. Even with a strong Pupil Technique, it couldn’t break through them all under absolute power.
However, the Beauty Clan Leader was somewhat troubled; the other had realized it was an illusion, so how should she inquire further?
Would she have to confront him face to face and talk?
As this idea emerged, a strong repulsive emotion surged within the Beauty Clan Leader.
Not just because of the former Clan Leader’s teachings.
