The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1803: The Solution to Breaking the Illusion

Such lifelike illusions deceived everyone present. It’s still a lingering fear to think about it now. If Ye Shikai had not gone to shatter the Other Shore Flower, everyone might have continued fighting until the last person.

"Kai, are you alright?" At the same time, the battle had just ended, and the Chen family’s team returned. Because of their retreat, the Chen family suffered smaller losses, with only a little over a hundred casualties. In contrast, the Li and Ji families had already lost more than half.

"Don’t worry, I’m fine."

"What on earth is going on?" Chen Yuxin pressed on.

"It’s the Other Shore Flower," Ye Shikai explained. "We were all deceived by the illusion of the Other Shore Flower. There were no so-called enemies here; it was all just an illusion."

"Even hell... is fake." Chen Yuxin murmured.

"That’s right, they’re all fake."

The ground was covered with corpses, a very eerie sight. Ye Shikai also began searching for survivors. There should still be people who hadn’t breathed their last. He hurriedly used the elixirs he had obtained to treat them, then used his Inner Strength to stabilize their heart pulses. But still, many died due to their severe injuries.

"Master, since the Other Shore Flower has been broken now, we should continue forward," Feng Ling suggested.

"Indeed, there’s no time to lose. Let’s keep moving on."

In this battle, the Chen family suffered the fewest losses, while the Li and Ji families suffered heavily. Thus, Ji Tao and Li Changtian naturally harbored some resentment towards Chen Yuxin. Particularly at the onset of the fight, the Chen family had already retreated. Although they were dissatisfied, they were helpless. Ye Shikai had advised them to retreat, but they themselves were unwilling, resulting in the current situation, which could be described as self-inflicted. Additionally, the Chen family had never allied with the Ji and Li families, so it was understandable that they retreated during the fight.

And most crucially, given the current situation, both families had already lost over half, while the Chen family was almost untouched. Even if they were to fight, the two families would surely suffer, so they had to swallow their anger.

"Kai, let’s keep moving," Chen Yuxin urged.

"Cough, cough, maybe we should rest a bit, and then send the wounded back," Ye Shikai glanced at Ji Qian in the distance and said lightly.

"Kai, we have to keep moving, or else the other families will arrive," Chen Yuxin was certainly unwilling to wait for the Ji and Li families now. There must be other families arriving at the palace, and the treasures were first come, first served.

Ye Shikai moved next to Ji Qian, the person he wanted to wait for was Ji Qian, but as the Lady Ji, she couldn’t walk with the Chen family’s team.

"Qian, you..."

"Enough, you don’t need to say anything, I know what you mean, you just go first," Ji Qian interrupted him before he could even speak.

"There are still many wounded from the Ji family here, I can’t just leave them," Ji Qian said lightly. "There might be danger ahead, take care and stay safe."

"Alright, you take care too."

Chen Yuxin watched the two from a distance, feeling somewhat uneasy. Perhaps no woman would wish for her husband to be intimate with another woman. However, she knew how severe her past actions toward Ye Shikai were. Now she only hoped Ye Shikai would stay by her side, because if there was a fuss, it would only make things awkward.

"Kai, let’s hurry up and leave," Chen Yuxin stepped forward to urge.

"Alright, let’s go."

Half an hour later.

"Kai, you seem to be thinking about something," Chen Yuxin suddenly asked.

"It’s nothing, just that it’s very dangerous here, so it’s better to remain on guard," Ye Shikai turned his head and said lightly.

"You’re being cold to me, Kai, are you still mad at me?" Chen Yuxin countered. Ye Shikai remained silent, giving no reply. His feelings for Chen Yuxin had long faded; he didn’t dislike her, let alone hate her. As to his feelings, Ye Shikai found it hard to describe. When they met, he had no emotional fluctuations, as if he was seeing an ordinary friend, but then again, the relationship wasn’t merely ordinary friends...

"Alright, let’s keep moving forward," Ye Shikai changed the subject. Who knows what Chen Yuxin would do if they kept talking.

"Limei," Ye Shikai suddenly said.

"Why did the young master call me?" Limei was a bit caught off guard. Earlier, she had even crossed swords with Ye Shikai, but that was at Chen Yuxin’s command.

"Yes, I did." Ye Shikai asked curiously, "If I remember correctly, you’re very skilled in illusion technique, right?"

"I wouldn’t say I’m an expert, but it’s more than enough to deal with ordinary people."

"Then tell me, what is the principle behind the illusion technique?" Ye Shikai asked out of curiosity.

"Well... The principle of illusion technique is to use spiritual power to confuse the opponent, making them experience hallucinations."

"So, this means, as long as one’s spiritual power is stronger than the opponent’s, they won’t fall for the illusion technique?" Ye Shikai inquired.

"That’s not necessarily so. Illusion techniques have specialized secrets. Unless one’s spiritual power is strong to a certain level, they’ll still fall for illusions," Limei continued, "On the other hand, the stronger the spiritual power, the stronger the illusion technique."

Ye Shikai fell into deep thought. This means unless he could quickly enhance his spiritual power, he couldn’t resist the illusions of the Other Shore Flower at all. It seemed almost impossible, even masters like Ji Tao and Li Changtian fell victim to the illusion technique, and Ye Shikai believed his spiritual power was far from theirs. Facing the illusions of the Other Shore Flower, he might be powerless to resist.

The only hope lay in the Sword Soul. As the soul of the Netherworld Blade, it had always been parasitically in Ye Shikai’s mind as a Spiritual Body. It is inherently a strong spiritual force, so when everyone was caught in the Other Shore Flower’s illusion, only it recognized them as hallucinations.

"Sword Soul, can you deal with the Other Shore Flower’s illusion technique?" Ye Shikai inquired, now only it could help. This time the three families fell victim to the illusions, resulting in hundreds of casualties. If the remaining families were present too, that would be thousands. If there’s another illusion, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"The Other Shore Flower is a legendary flower that blooms in hell. To be honest, I didn’t expect it to appear here. As for the illusions it creates, I can’t say I have a hundred percent certainty to be immune." Sword Soul seemed a bit embarrassed. It itself was a mass of Spiritual Body, perhaps once "it" was powerful, but now, its abilities might be limited.

"Never mind, illusion techniques work well the first time, but not necessarily the second time," Ye Shikai repeatedly told himself. If he encountered those monsters again, he shouldn’t just strike immediately, he must remember that they are illusions.

"Kai, listen closely, there’s movement nearby." Suddenly, Chen Yuxin grabbed him, motioning for everyone to be quiet.
