Living In Another World With A Farm Chapter 8691 8691: Illusionary array (1)

&Quot;Attack! The territory of the Bloody Massacre Sect is right in front of us. Charge in and kill everyone along the way! Annihilate the Bloody Massacre Sect!&Quot; Li Ruohai bellowed, his face contorted with murderous intent. &Quot;Yes, Master!&Quot; All the disciples of the Corpse Demon Sect responded in unison, then surged forward, their massive magical weapons accelerating alongside them.

They had now entered the waters claimed by the Bloody Massacre Sect. Ahead lay a small island, a possession of the Bloody Massacre Sect and the first they had encountered. Their objective was to obliterate this island and everyone on it, serving as a stark warning to the Bloody Massacre Sect.

In truth, Li Ruohai had once harbored ambitions of destroying the entire Bloody Massacre Sect. However, his perspective had shifted. If Zhao Hai could absorb the Yin Yang Sect and the Yin Ghost Sect, assimilating them in such a short timeframe, why couldn't he do the same? He envisioned assimilating these two sects himself, swallowing them whole to augment the Corpse Demon Sect, thereby significantly amplifying its strength.

Yet, absorbing these two sects was far from a simple undertaking. First, the Bloody Massacre Sect had to be dismantled. By eliminating the core members of the Bloody Massacre Sect, the remaining elements could be dealt with gradually. He refused to believe he was incapable of achieving what Zhao Hai had accomplished.

Consequently, despite his preparations to raze an island this time, his primary intention was to display his might to the Bloody Massacre Sect, instilling fear. Later, when he dealt with the sect's backbone, the rest would likely surrender out of dread, making their eventual assimilation much smoother.

However, it was evident that Li Ruohai was not alone in harboring such aspirations. The members of other sects shared similar ambitions, particularly those from the Rahu Sect. Their advance was no less rapid than that of the Corpse Demon Sect. Just as the Corpse Demon Sect disciples picked up speed and charged ahead, the Rahu Sect members also accelerated, while the other sects lagged slightly behind.

The Corpse Demon Sect and the Rahu Sect advanced like two piercing blades, surging directly toward the small island. Even from a distance, the panic among the island's inhabitants was palpable. The island's protective shield was fully deployed, the alarm had sounded, and even the island's teleportation array was in disarray.

A sinister grin spread across Li Ruohai's face. The enemy's current actions seemed utterly futile. With their current might, if they couldn't even conquer a single island belonging to the Bloody Massacre Sect, they might as well return, bathe, and head to bed, offering no resistance whatsoever. Their only recourse would be to await the Bloody Massacre Sect's forces to arrive and eliminate them.

Nevertheless, Li Ruohai had made contingency plans, ready to awaken the Corpse Ancestor at a moment's notice should they falter in breaching the island's defenses. He required the Corpse Ancestor's assistance. However, Li Ruohai intended to test the waters first, now holding the Yin Yang Death Mirror, eager to gauge the formidable strength of the Bloody Massacre Sect's defensive array.

They drew nearer, ever closer. Now, only about ten miles separated them from the Bloody Massacre Sect's island. His eyesight was sharp enough to clearly discern the figures on the island. The chaos on the island had begun to subside. The disciples of the Bloody Massacre Sect, clad in red, had drawn their weapons and were fixing their gazes upon the approaching forces. He could even discern the emotions etched on their faces: fear, anger, and a flicker of grim determination.

Frankly, Li Ruohai held a measure of admiration for the Bloody Massacre Sect and Zhao Hai. He observed that the weapons wielded by the Bloody Massacre Sect disciples were no longer their customary blood sabers. Instead, they were a diverse array, some clearly belonging to the Yin Ghost Sect disciples, others unmistakably from the Yin Yang Sect disciples. Only a scant few were utilizing weapons originating from the Bloody Massacre Sect itself.

Essentially, these initial disciples weren't organically part of the Bloody Massacre Sect. They hailed from the Yin Ghost Sect and the Yin Yang Sect. Despite not originating from the Bloody Massacre Sect, they displayed remarkable courage, standing firm to fight to the death. Not once was there a hint of anyone attempting to flee the island; all were prepared for a final stand. Only the disciples of the Bloody Massacre Sect possessed such unwavering resolve. For Zhao Hai of the Blood Kill Sect, the ability to instill such fortitude in the Yin Yang Sect and Yin Ghost Sect disciples within such a short span was truly astounding. Truthfully, even he himself lacked the capability to make disciples from opposing sects forsake their original allegiance, embrace the Blood Kill Sect as their own, and adopt its disciples' valor. This feat was nothing short of extraordinary, earning his genuine admiration for Zhao Hai.

However, admiration was one thing; being enemies demanded their destruction. Consequently, Li Ruohai harbored no intention of mercy. He resolved to attack with full force, intending to decimate the entire island. His aim was to send a clear message to the Bloody Massacre Sect: the Corpse Demon Sect had arrived, and their purpose was annihilation! If they could be vanquished once, they could be vanquished again!

Precisely as Li Ruohai prepared to breach the defensive barrier surrounding the Bloody Massacre Sect's island, the barrier suddenly shuddered. Moments later, it shattered. As Li Ruohai pondered the cause, a resounding cheer erupted. Upon hearing this, Li Ruohai's countenance darkened considerably. He recognized the sound as originating from the Rahu Sect, implying they had initiated their assault. It was they who had employed the unseen needle technique to dismantle the protective formation of the Bloody Massacre Sect's island.

Li Ruohai's gaze instinctively shifted towards the Rahu Sect members. He observed that they had already stormed the island and were engaged in combat with its inhabitants. Without uttering a word, Li Ruohai directly led the Corpse Demon Sect disciples onto the island, joining the fray against the Bloody Massacre Sect forces already present.

Standing upon the island, Li Ruohai surveyed the unfolding battle below. In such a clash, his direct intervention seemed unnecessary; the combined might of the Rahu Sect and Corpse Demon Sect disciples below was sufficient to overwhelm the island's defenders. Yet, no trace of elation graced Li Ruohai's features. On the contrary, his expression was grave, his brow furrowed as he watched the fierce engagement.

"Alliance Master Li, victory is within our grasp, yet you do not seem jubilant?" a voice inquired suddenly. Li Ruohai's expression flickered momentarily upon hearing this, but he swiftly regained his composure. Turning his head, he identified the speaker as the Sect Master of the Rahu Sect. "Of course, I am pleased," he responded in a deep tone. "I am merely... somewhat taken aback. The Bloody Massacre Sect is a formidable opponent. Yet, their resistance this time has been surprisingly weak. It truly catches me by surprise."

The Rahu Sect Master regarded Li Ruohai, then glanced at the battle below, commenting dismissively, "The Bloody Massacre Sect is indeed not easily trifled with. However, this time, all of us have committed our full forces. Furthermore, we have brought forth our Sect's most potent magic artifacts. Naturally, they cannot possibly withstand our combined assault. What is so perplexing about that?" It was evident that the Rahu Sect Master held little concern for Li Ruohai's reservations. Perhaps, in his estimation, Li Ruohai had been unnerved by the Bloody Massacre Sect, or possibly harbored an excessive fear of them, leading to his current unease.

Li Ruohai offered no further words, his gaze remaining fixed on the battle unfolding below with a composed facade. After a period of observation, his eyes suddenly widened, and he bellowed, "Disaster! All Corpse Demon Sect disciples, cease your advance immediately! Retreat! Quickly withdraw! Evacuate this island, now!" As he spoke, he swiftly retrieved the Yin-Yang Death Mirror, directing its potent energy downwards.

The Rahu Sect Master was startled by Li Ruohai's abrupt reaction. He perceived that Li Ruohai wasn't merely feigning mystery but seemed to have genuinely unearthed a critical danger. This perplexed him, prompting him to look down, though he discerned nothing unusual. At that precise moment, Li Ruohai's Yin-Yang Death Mirror unleashed its power. A beam of black light shot directly towards the island, striking the Bloody Massacre Sect disciples. Accompanied by piercing screams, their bodies slowly began to disintegrate and vanish.

Disappeared? That couldn't be right. While the Yin-Yang Death Light Mirror possessed immense power, its function was to absorb life force, leaving behind mummified husks or even dust, not to make them vanish entirely. Yet, the disciples of the Bloody Massacre Sect were now gone without a trace. Something was indeed amiss.

Sect Leader Rahu finally sensed that the situation was far from normal. The bodies of his Bloody Massacre Sect disciples were fading, then disappearing. This was an anomaly he could not ignore. His gaze shifted towards the island, observing that many more Bloody Massacre Sect disciples' corpses were dematerializing. He hadn't paid close attention to these fallen disciples earlier, but now he saw that all the corpses of the Bloody Massacre Sect members who had been killed were vanishing. Many had already ceased to exist.

Sect Leader Rahu, no fool, immediately grasped the truth. This was an illusion. The island they were assailing was not the true Bloody Massacre Sect stronghold. It was merely a phantom, an illusion. Everything on it was fabricated, a product of their own perceptions.

The realization struck him with a jolt, his expression contorting in shock. He understood the grave implications: they had unknowingly stepped into the enemy's illusory formation. Furthermore, the enemy's mastery of illusory formations was beyond comprehension. To perfectly replicate an entire island, convincing them of its reality and even engaging in combat, was truly terrifying.

At this juncture, the disciples from the two allied sects also reacted, swiftly retreating from the island. The other sect members following behind, unaware of the unfolding deception, continued their charge towards the island. This sudden retreat and advance sowed chaos within their ranks. Sect Master Rahu, now genuinely anxious, knew that the deployment of such an elaborate illusion array pointed to a more sinister plan. A backup strategy, a killing move, was undoubtedly waiting, precisely as the enemy intended.

Just as Sect Master Rahu was about to issue an order, a booming voice echoed, "Everyone, heed my words! This is an illusory formation crafted by the Bloody Massacre Sect. Retreat from the island at once! Hurry!" The voice belonged to Li Ruohai, who had finally chosen to reveal the truth and warn everyone.
