The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1802: Terrifying Hallucination

"An illusion, is this real?" Ye Shikai murmured. This red Other Shore Flower blooms in hell, but this can’t possibly be hell. The sword soul mentioned that it could be an illusion, but looking at everything around him, it’s evidently real. Those corpses are truly lying on the ground, if this is an illusion, it’s too realistic.

Whew.

Ye Shikai dodged the monster’s long axe and countered with a sword thrust into its head. This feeling, it is undoubtedly real.

"Qian, are you alright?" Seeing Ji Qian unharmed, Ye Shikai finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, the surrounding area already had many cultivators’ corpses. If this is hell, then these monsters are demons from hell, relentless and unyielding.

"Why didn’t you leave?" Ji Qian asked back.

"In this situation, how could I leave? If not handled properly, everyone will die here," Ye Shikai shouted, "I must stay."

"How will you handle it? There are too many monsters."

"Moon God Spell — Fallen Stars."

Ji Qian also fought with all her might, but these monsters quickly surrounded the two families, and the situation was far graver than anticipated. The monsters they faced before were merely "cannon fodder," incomparable to these formidable "demons." Now, Li and Ji families are isolated without aid; persisting in battle is undoubtedly unwise.

"If this truly is an illusion, then I’ll risk everything," Ye Shikai gritted his teeth, he couldn’t just sit and wait for death, since it’s like this, he might as well give it a shot.

"What do you want to do?"

"Do you see that Other Shore Flower up there?" Ye Shikai pointed to the sky at that enchanting, glaring blood-red Other Shore Flower.

"Are you talking about the Other Shore Flower? I’ve only heard about it in rumors, could that be the Other Shore Flower?" Ji Qian was a bit shocked, she never expected the rumored Other Shore Flower to actually appear here.

"In rumors, the red Other Shore Flower blooms in hell, and it’s the source of everything." Ye Shikai suddenly drew out the Netherworld Blade and leaped into the air. The Netherworld Blade is a "weapon of destruction," extremely murderous; if this is truly hell, it only aids the blade’s edge.

Break.

Ye Shikai aimed at the Other Shore Flower in the sky and swung his blade down, in the blink of an eye, cleaving the flower into pieces.

Should be over now.

With the obliteration of the Other Shore Flower, the purplish-red sky instantly dissipated, but it didn’t turn into blue skies and white clouds, rather it returned to its original appearance — towering cliffs, and everything around them became pitch black. They were still in the palace, without lighting, it was naturally extremely dark.

The monsters turned into ashes and vanished in the air, Ye Shikai retrieved a flare from the storage ring and shot it upwards.

Whizz.

Under the strong light, everyone finally saw the scene before them — the ground was filled with their own corpses while the monsters from moments ago were nowhere to be seen.

"How could this be?"

"Yes, where are those monsters, how could it become like this?"

The crowd seemed unresponsive; fiercely battling a second ago, and the next moment all was calm, even the opponents vanished.

"It’s all an illusion," Ye Shikai shouted.

"Ye, what do you mean by this?" Li Changtian asked.

"Everything was an illusion created by the Other Shore Flower, the sea of flowers, hell, and those monsters were all illusions," Ye Shikai explained.

"How is this possible? Our fight was very real, and so many people died. If those monsters were illusions, how did those fallen brothers die?" An elder refuted, as everyone disagreed with him. Indeed, many died, and many were too enraged to calm down. Ye Shikai picked up one of the corpses from the ground and showed it to everyone.

"Look at this person’s wound," Ye Shikai said to the crowd. The corpse had no other wounds, except for one sword wound in the chest; he was pierced through the heart with a sword, which was fatal.

"This..." Ji Tao saw this and his expression suddenly became grave.

"This wound, Mr. Ji should be very familiar with it."

"Yes, this is a sword wound. The wound is thin and indicates the sword that pierced his chest is also thin and narrow, it’s from a sword in the Ji Family." Ji Tao said astonishingly, everyone was immensely surprised, but upon examining the wound, it was indeed so. People can lie, but this sword wound is like every sword’s ’identity card,’ it’s ironclad evidence. Every sword leaves a different sword wound, and this person’s chest wound was left by a Ji family’s sword, in other words, he didn’t die at the hands of those monsters but was killed by the Ji family’s sword, by his own people’s sword...

"But how could this be? How could we possibly kill each other?"

"The only explanation is that there were no demons, we were all influenced by the Other Shore Flower’s enchantment, seeing some people around us as monsters, leading to mutual slaughter. Of course, it’s possible some monsters were indeed illusions." Ye Shikai explained, this was his analysis. All present corpses were either wounded by swords or had their throats cut by daggers, it was man-made.

"It turned out to be like this."

Although greatly shocked and saddened, everyone still accepted this reality. This was an entirely internal conflict with casualties numbering in the hundreds. If not for Ye Shikai destroying the Other Shore Flower, they would continue to fight.

"Quickly, treat the wounded."

"Save people quickly."

The two family heads hurriedly ordered, but this time there were too many injured. It was impossible to treat all the wounded at once, many were severely hurt, hovering between life and death, unable to receive treatment, they could only die like this.

"I never expected this Other Shore Flower to be so formidable, using merely an illusion technique, they effortlessly made these families fight to the death, with great casualties." Ye Shikai murmured as he looked at the tragic scene.

"This Other Shore Flower can disrupt the mind; you’ve encountered many illusionists before, like Aphrodite and Limei from the Shadow Organization, they’re both skilled illusionists. But compared to the Other Shore Flower, it’s like small tricks." The sword soul was also worried; if Ye Shikai hadn’t stepped forward just now, the consequences would have been even more severe.

"Qian, how is your situation?" Ye Shikai approached Ji Qian and asked.

"Over three hundred people were lost, including those lost along the way, we’ve already lost over half." Ji Qian was very downhearted, she was somewhat remorseful, but Ye Shikai knew this wasn’t her fault, nor was it Li Changtian’s or Ji Tao’s fault. If even Body Integration Realm cultivators couldn’t escape the illusion of the Other Shore Flower, then everyone at Kunlun Mountain would suffer.
