Chapter 33: The Phantom Realm

The reason why Chen Jun was so annoyed was because they had returned to the fork in the road just now, and at this time, everyone had already realized that this was probably not lost, and remembered that there was no one along the way just now, only themselves and others galloping on the street.

Looking back now, I still have some palpitations, you must know that this is Qiyun City, and there are not even people on the streets in broad daylight, which is obviously impossible.

Enraged, Chen Jun turned to his subordinates behind him and asked, "Do any of you know where this is? Why isn't there even a person?"

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and they all shook their heads and said they didn't know.

Chen Jun asked again: "Then do you have any familiarity with the south of the city?"

This is a younger one of the horsemen who came out and said: "If you return to the commander, my family will live in the south of the city."

"Oh, then you can see where this road should go!" Chen Jun hurriedly got out of the way and let the subordinate check.

But the other party shook his head and said, "Tell the commander, according to my observation, it seems that the place we are staying in now is not Qiyun City at all!"

This sentence made everyone a little confused, and Chen Jun didn't understand, "It's not Qiyun City, Chen Linhai, do you know what you're talking about?" We haven't been out of the city at all, how can this not be Qiyun City?"

The young man named Chen Linhai saw that the commander did not believe it, and stretched out his hand to a tree on the side of the road and explained, "Commander, look at this tree."

"Tree?" Chen Jun turned his head to look at the tree. At this time, Xue Qingwei also looked over together.

"It's nothing special, what do you want to say?" Chen Jun looked at it for a long time and didn't see anything special about this tree. On the contrary, Xue Qingwei frowned a little, as if she had discovered something.

Suddenly he looked up at the tree and said, "Is this tree?"

Chen Linhai nodded and said, "That's right, this is Nanjiang Liu!"

Chen Jun still didn't understand what he wanted to say, but Xue Qingwei had already understood her situation after Chen Linhai's confirmation.

"It seems that you are right, this is indeed not Qiyun City," Xue Qingwei nodded and said.

"You say the same, what's going on?" Chen Jun saw that both of them seemed to understand, but he was the only one who was in the dark and a little unhappy.

"Don't worry, Commander, I'll tell you. The variety of this willow tree is called Nanjiang willow, as the name suggests, it is a kind of willow tree that can only grow on the south bank of the Li River, and Qiyun City, where we are located, is on the north bank, so it is impossible for this kind of willow tree to appear in Qiyun City anyway," Chen Linhai explained.

"But how do you know that this is not transplanted by someone else?" Chen Jun still didn't believe it, and asked his own question.

"It's very simple, because Nanjiang willow can't live long once it leaves the soil, and the leader you see that the soil at the root of this tree is compact, and there are still many weeds growing on it, it is obvious that this tree has not been here for a day or two, plus we just came all the way I noticed that there are actually many such willow trees on the side of the road, so the little one dares to conclude that this is not Qiyun City" The words were calm and clear, which made Chen Jun quite appreciative of this young subordinate.

"That's right, not only that, it stands to reason that we are in the south of the city, and it should be people on the street at this hour, but we haven't seen a single person here, not even a bird" Xue Qingwei also put forward her own point of view after Chen Linhai's words.

Seeing that the analysis of the two was clear and reasonable, Chen Junzhi scratched his head, he could lead his troops to fight, but when he encountered the situation in front of him, he was suddenly a little powerless, so he could only pin his hopes on the two of them.

"Then according to what you say, we are no longer in Qiyun City, but...... How is it possible that we have only been able to come all the way to Qi Yun City, and it is impossible for us to leave Qiyun City no matter what?" Chen Jun looked at the two and hoped that they could give him an explanation.

"This is also the strange place, if we say that what we see is a mirage, it is impossible that it has not dissipated for such a long time" Xue Qingwei also expressed puzzlement about the current situation.

Chen Jun looked at Chen Linhai again, but the other party also shook his head and said that he didn't know.

In desperation, Chen Jun said: "Since we can't figure out the situation, then I just don't want to think about it, so many of us don't believe that we can't find a way out, so we will go separately and walk in a team of five people, one team and one road, whoever finds a way out first will return to this place to meet."

Since everyone had no choice, they could only do what Chen Jun suggested, so the group was divided into five teams and looked for a way out at the fork in the road.

Shen Qing was led by Lin Shanwei and headed all the way to the south of the city, but they seemed to have encountered the same problem, it was still the same fork in the road, and Lin Shanwei was also dumbfounded.

Faced with Shen Qing's questioning eyes, he could only tell the truth. After Shen Qing heard him say that he was lost, his angry face changed color, seeing that his junior brother Qi Yue was facing danger, but he was blocked here by a fork in the road, in desperation, Shen Qing used the same method as Chen Jun just now, and went all the way south.

A moment after Shen Qing left, another group of people appeared at the fork in the road, no, to be precise, wave after wave of people.

Chen Jun saw that everyone had returned to the original point, and when he asked everyone, everyone said that they would come back here no matter where they went.

"Hell!!" Chen Jun scolded angrily, and then turned his head to look at the eaves around him, since he couldn't get out of the ground, if he went up to the roof, his vision might be broadened.

was about to perform light skills and jump upward, when he suddenly saw two people walking in front of him, and looked at it fixedly, wasn't it Shen Qing and the person he had sent to report the news before.

Hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Brother Qing, are you here?"

Shen Qing looked at the appearance of the crowd, and it was obvious that they were also lost, so he opened his mouth and asked, "What the hell is going on?"

Chen Jun held his forehead with one hand and said: "The ghost only knows what is going on, no matter where you go here, you will return to this fork in the road, and just now my subordinates found out that this is not Qiyun City at all."

"Isn't it Qi Yuncheng?" Shen Qing was a little stunned.

"Yes, look at that willow tree, one of my subordinates recognized that it was only the Nanjiang willow that grows on the south bank of the Li River, and we can't have it here," he explained to Shen Qing, pointing to the tree.

Shen Qing also recognized that the tree was indeed Nanjiang Willow, but when he confirmed it, it seemed that he had suddenly figured out what was going on, and he was no longer confused, in order to verify what he thought. Picked up a stone on the ground, and then aimed at the willow tree and bounced out, "Bell~~!" After the stone hit the tree, it was actually bounced away, you must know that Shen Qing contains a trace of internal force this time, although it is not much, but if this is really a tree, it will definitely be pierced.

"......?" Chen Jun pointed to the tree and looked at Shen Qing with some uncertainty.

"That's right, it's not a tree, and not only that, but the place where we are is is also fake," Shen Qing explained to everyone.

"Fake?" "How is this possible?" the group exchanged heads, some in disbelief.

Even Chen Jun didn't understand what Qi Yue meant, "Brother Qing, what do you mean, how can this be fake?

"It's not a hallucination, it's a ...... Illusion" Shen Qing finally told the truth of all this.

"Illusion!" Chen Jun looked around, "This is even more impossible, although I don't know about illusion, but I still know some common sense, we haven't communicated with anyone on the way here, and if it's illusion, so many of us, we can't all be cast at the same time, right?"

"It's really impossible for illusions to be cast on so many people at the same time, so the situation we're encountering now should be the illusion realm"

"What does it mean, is there any difference between it and illusion?" Chen Jun heard Shen Qing say a word that he had never heard before.

Shen Qing thought for a while and explained: "Specifically, when a person's illusion reaches the end of the world, he uses some means on the basis of ordinary illusion, so that an area falls into the enveloping range of illusion, etc., as long as the enemy approaches this area, he will fall into the illusion unconsciously, and the person behind the curtain is hiding in the shadows and manipulating all this, which is an extremely terrifying means."

"This ...... This ...... "Chen Jun knew for the first time in his life that there were such terrible means in the world, and if this was used on the battlefield, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Shen Qing seemed to see what Chen Jun was thinking, and explained: "You don't have to worry, although this illusion domain was originally created to be used on the battlefield, it failed in the end, because once the army's military formation is formed, the spirit of countless people is condensed into one, and this power is far beyond what ordinary people can control."

Chen Jun heard Shen Qing say this, and nodded reassuringly, indeed, he had seen a military formation composed of 10,000 people, that scene made him unforgettable for life, that kind of momentum was like the sky falling, and ordinary people would be suppressed when facing that momentum head-on, and they couldn't even move.

However, although the Phantom Domain is powerless in the face of the army, it is an extremely dangerous thing to face himself and others, thinking that he and others have been exposed to the light, in case the people behind the scenes suddenly come out to attack, it will not be good.

Chen Jun saw that Shen Qing seemed to know a lot about the Illusory Domain, so he asked, "Brother Qing, do you have a way to break this Illusory Domain?"

Shen Qing clasped his arms and said, "The way to break the illusion domain is very simple, as long as you find the person who is performing the illusion behind the scenes and pull him out."

Chen Jun was immediately angry when he heard Shen Qing's previous sentence, but the latter sentence made Chen Jun feel an urge to strangle him, nonsense, if he could find the person behind the scenes, would he still be trapped here?

"Then you mean we can't get out"

Shen Qing smiled weirdly, "Not really, if someone else is casting the illusion domain, then I'm afraid it will be a little troublesome today, but it just so happens that I know this person today, and I know him very well, don't you say?" shouted loudly into the air.

"Who are you talking to?" Chen Jun looked at Shen Qing with a confused expression.
