In Tang Qu's eyes, the whole world began to undergo strange changes, and after a while of distortion where he was lying down, it turned back into the place where he fought with Xiao Liu three years ago.

Next to it was the second-layer formation and energy shield.

"Original...... Is everything fake?

Tang Qu muttered to himself dumbfoundedly.

At this time, a person not far in front of him answered the question for him

"Yes, what you just did and what you saw was just what happened in the illusion. It's only less than half a pillar of incense since we fought. ”

Tang Qu's body was still lying on the ground, the huge impact made him forget to get up in a trance, he raised his neck and saw that it was Xiao Liu, and then he suddenly looked in the direction of *, and finally recognized the facts.

"Hehehehehe! I really fell for your illusion. Unexpectedly, you still have this kind of ability, and you hide it so deeply. In this battle, I am convinced of defeat!"

Tang Qu was finally willing to get up at this time, in fact, in the eyes of * and Donghuangxue, Tang Qu had always stood in place, and only when he finally admitted that he had lost did his body fall to the ground, other than that, Tang Qu had not moved half a step from here at all!

As for the illusion that Xiao Liu cast, it was also the first time in a long time that he tried to use it against an opponent who was stronger than himself in actual combat.

Mo Wu has always been meticulously * Xiao Liu's knowledge of illusion, because of the relationship between the Illusion Demon Classic, Xiao Liu's divine soul cultivation is more than two levels higher than his own realm strength, just enough to touch Tang Qu's heart.

If Tang Qu's cultivation strength is stronger than that of a heavy or even semi-heavy realm, whether Xiao Liu can succeed or not is still a matter of two words.

In fact, when Tang Qu was hit by the illusion, he also suspected that there was a calm self in his heart at that time, which was actually because he was not deep enough, which was also caused by Xiao Liu's insufficient control of the illusion.

However, Xiao Liu is also very smart, and by speaking to Tang Qu, who was temporarily controlled by illusion, he gradually guided his spirit further in an unstable direction, thus finally establishing his victory.

Facing the enemy with illusion seems to be very easy, but in fact, the accompanying risk is still very large, if the other party pretends to be hit without the illusion, Tang Qu can completely take advantage of Xiao Liu's concentration on casting illusion and kill him in one fell swoop!

And at that time, Xiao Liu, because he basically mustered his maximum spirit to use illusion to trap Tang Qu, he couldn't be distracted at all to guard against his counterattack.

Fortunately, in the end, Xiao Liu still succeeded, and he successfully defeated Tang Qu, who was much more powerful than himself, with illusion for the first time.

If the strength of cultivation and the secret method of martial arts are all the hard power of a cultivator, then spiritual power can be regarded as the soft power of a cultivator.

The strength of mental power directly determines the outcome of this contest.

Everything seems so incredible, but it makes perfect sense.

Unexpectedly, after Tang Qu admitted that he was defeated, he did not dwell on the outcome of this battle, but seemed very open-minded.

After he got up, he looked directly at Xiao Liu with some admiration and smiled

"Although I am better than you in terms of cultivation strength and control of the power of the earth, if it comes to the variety of means that is unguardable, I Tang Qu really sigh to myself. I lost, so now it's time for me to fulfill my promise. ”

Xiao Liu raised his eyebrows, the current Tang Qu made him feel like a good friend, how could he still be the same as when he shouted and shouted to kill?

At this time, Donghuang Xue and * had also come over, Tang Qu glanced at the two of them and quickly looked away, because when he saw *, he would remember what happened in the illusion before, which made him feel very awkward.

Tang Qu is also afraid now, if Xiao Liu doesn't release him from the illusion, then will he be trapped in that space where he is alone forever until he dies!?

This result made Tang Qu deeply frightened, because he felt like he was about to go crazy for only three years!

Tang Qu's behavior in the illusion completely deviated from his usual behavior trajectory, as if he had become another more crazy self, but he was able to experience all the emotions and feelings of the self in the illusion.

That's the scariest part of illusion!

It can distort a person's mind and make them do things that are contrary to their usual behavior, but it can make them feel that they are themselves!

If this method is used well, it can completely cross the realm to defeat the enemy, of course, the premise is that it can succeed every time!

After Tang Qu said that he wanted to fulfill his agreement and say his purpose, his eyes became a little foggy, as if he was recalling something, and he spoke leisurely after a while

"Actually, I didn't come to compete on behalf of the Dragon Palace, the person who really found me was named Yan Qi, known as the Red Lotus Ancestor. ”

Tang Qu had just made a start, and the faces of the three people around him all turned strange.

Because they had always thought that Tang Qu was like what they had said before, he was going to get rid of them on behalf of the Dragon Palace.

Unexpectedly, now he said that he was not representing the Dragon Palace, but on behalf of the Red Lotus Ancestor.

"What the hell are you saying is true, why are you lying to us!?"

Xiao Liu looked at Tang Qu with an unkind face and asked.

In his opinion, if Tang Qu was the representative of the Red Lotus Ancestor, then he could tell the truth, why did he take such trouble to pretend to be the representative of the Dragon Palace?

After Tang Qu heard this, he smiled bitterly and said slightly apologetically

"If I don't say that I am representing the Dragon Palace, then you will burst out with all your strength to fight me? Of all the people participating in this competition, you and I are the only ones who have reached such a high level of comprehension of the power of the earth. So after I met you for the first time, I started to share with you. And as a result, you also know that in terms of comprehension and control of the earth's experience, you are far from being my opponent!"

Speaking of this, Tang Qu's eyes flashed with confidence, and he had complete confidence in his ability in this regard.

And the fact is as he said, Xiao Liu is still completely unable to match Tang Qu in this regard.

However, what Tang Qu didn't know was that Xiao Liu had only been about a year since he began to comprehend the power of the earth.

Within a year, starting from scratch, he has now comprehended the sixth level of the earth pulse, and successfully triggered the power of the earth elemental force.

This kind of comprehension speed is completely beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and it is not comparable to Tang Qu at all!

It was undeniable that Tang Qu did possess a unique talent in this area, and at the age of only twenty-five or sixteen, he had already comprehended the power of the earth's pulsations to the seventh level.

But there is a world of difference between Xiaoliu and him, which can not be measured by his current achievements alone.

Seeing Tang Qu's expression, Xiao Liu didn't go out to hit him, but continued to ask

"You said that you pretended to be the representative of the Dragon Palace, just to fight with me with all your might? So who did you listen to about the Dragon Palace? How do you know that there is a conflict between us and the Dragon Palace?"

Xiao Liu's question is very important, if Tang Qu lies, he can judge some clues from here through some clues.

At the same time, Xiao Liu had already instructed Mo Wu in his Divine Soul to let him use his Divine Soul to detect whether Tang Qu's spiritual fluctuations were abnormal, if so, then his words were worth doubting.

Although this method is not as direct as reading the memory, the advantage is that it can be unaware of ghosts, at least with Tang Qu's ability, he can't find Mo Wu's prying eyes.

At this time, Tang Qu began his explanation

"You may not know much about Red Lotus Ancestor, but I don't know why he seems to value me so much. Not only did he give me a Hidden Yuan Stone that allowed me to escape from other people's tracking, but he also gave me a one-time secret treasure called the Red Lian Cage. In addition to this, there are a few other life-saving things. Red Lotus Ancestor said, no matter what the result of this competition is, I can go to him to worship his sect, and then meet him to develop in the East China Sea. ”

When Tang Qu talked about the Red Lian Cage, Xiao Liu* and the three of them were not calm, it turned out that this thing given by the Red Lotus Ancestor was not just one?

In addition to Shi Zongtian, he also gave Tang Qu such a secret treasure.

Thinking of this, Xiao Liu was the first to reflect, and he asked

"Then why didn't you go to his aid when you saw us fighting Shi Zongtian in the first place? Shouldn't you be counted as people on the same side? Could it be that you are lying?"

Although Xiao Liu asked so, in fact, Mo Wu in the soul had already told him that when Tang Qu said these words, his mental state fluctuated and was not chaotic, which means that what he said was likely to be true.

Sure enough, Tang Qu immediately explained

"Don't get me wrong. Although I had met Shi Zongtian's group of people before entering the tower, I was not a fellow traveler with them. Those guys are from a country in the west, and they are the executioners there, and they usually kill countless people. The Red Lotus Ancestor took a fancy to them only because Shi Zongtian had the strength to do whatever it took to achieve his goals. And the Red Lotus Ancestor himself, if I'm not mistaken, should also belong to this kind of person. It's just that he has lived a long time, and he can't look good when he usually hides it. Therefore, although Shi Zongtian and I were both part of the Red Lotus Ancestor's choice, I didn't want to mix with them. It's none of my business whether they live or die. ”

When Tang Qu said this, he couldn't help but interject, and he asked strangely

"Then why didn't you do what the Red Lotus Ancestor told you? I think he should have told you something about us, right?"

Tang Qu took a deep breath and began to tell his story.

It turned out that Tang Qu also had his own difficulties, first of all, his country was in a situation similar to that of the Eastern Pole Imperial Kingdom, and the neighboring countries all wanted to get rid of him, a cultivation wizard, with the intention of smoothly continuing to control his mother country.

And Tang Qu was ordered by his own country, secretly left, and came to participate in the Jiwu Jiazi Championship Tournament, just like Xiao Liu, to protect his motherland from the enemy.

It's just that unlike Xiao Liu, Tang Qu also has a helper invited by their country at a great cost, the Eagle Eye Old Man!

This eagle-eyed old man behaves entirely to his own liking, and will kill irrelevant people at every turn.

Although Tang Qu knew that his country had invited this kind of person to protect him from being intercepted by enemy countries along the way, he still couldn't stand the Hawkeye Old Man coming around him in the end.

It just so happened that the appearance of the Red Lotus Ancestor gave him the opportunity to expel the Eagle Eye Old Man with his strength.

Although the eagle-eyed old man was strong, he was only an Earth Immortal Realm cultivator, so it was naturally impossible to compete with the Red Lotus Ancestor.

So after discovering that Tang Qu was involved with the Red Lotus Ancestor, the old man with Eagle Eyes decisively left quietly.

As for Tang Qu himself, he was actually very wary of the Red Lotus Ancestor in his heart, because he was usually good at observing others, and he found that although the Red Lotus Ancestor promised him all kinds of benefits, he had paid a lot in advance.

But no matter what the Red Lotus Ancestor said, Tang Qu always had his own insistence in his heart.

He promised the Red Lotus Ancestor to participate on his behalf, but in fact, he just wanted to borrow what the Red Lotus Ancestor gave him to successfully stand out and finally relieve his country's crisis.

As long as he doesn't tear his face with the Red Lotus Ancestor, he can completely use the other party's deterrence to save his country and get rid of the oppression of the enemy country from now on.

When he grows up in the future, then those threats can be completely resolved by himself.

Because of these various reasons, Tang Qu and the Red Lotus Ancestor were not of the same mind, so the Red Lotus Ancestor ordered him to kill Xiao Liu when he caught him, and Tang Qu had no intention of doing so.

Tang Qu had met Xiao Liu outside, although Xiao Liu didn't find him, but he and Xiao Liu had a feeling of sympathy, because among the peers he had seen, there was no one who could compare with himself in terms of comprehension of the power of the earth.

Speaking of which, Xiao Liu and the others finally understood Tang Qu a little, and at the same time felt a certain feeling of sympathy for his experience.

It was precisely because of the same suffering that the distance between them seemed to have narrowed a lot in an instant.

Xiao Liu's suspicion of Tang Qu also relaxed.

At this time, Tang Qu suddenly spoke up again

"By the way, speaking of the Hawkeyed Old Man, I do remember one thing. Have you ever been to a ruin, and then you got your hands on it?"

When Xiao Liu and Donghuang Xue heard this, their vigilance, which had been a little relaxed, increased again, and then Xiao Liu groaned a little and then simply admitted

"Not bad. But how do you know that? When we found out there, no one else was there. Don't tell us that this is what the Red Lotus Ancestor told you. ”

Tang Qu shook his head when he heard this

"Of course not. ”

At that moment, Tang Qu told him some of the things he had experienced when he was with the eagle-eyed old man, which happened after Xiao Liu and the others left the ruins.

In this way, the cause and effect of this matter will be completely connected.

After killing everyone present at the time, the Hawkeyed Old Man finally snatched a fragment from the hands of one person, and then read some information about the person who had obtained the inheritance through this fragment.

And this person, the moment the eagle-eyed old man met Xiao Liu, he was finally determined, that was Xiao Liu himself!
