" This is impossible!!" Li Huowang looked at Zhuge Yuan in front of him, shocked and took a step back.

The spine sword from before had completely changed at this moment, with chaotic flesh and distorted organs intertwining from the spine, growing like plants.

It didn't grow into a complete human, but only grew various misplaced flesh and blurry organs before abruptly stopping, without skin or any human features.

Although this terrifying appearance was abnormal, Li Huowang was very certain that this thing was still alive! Zhuge Yuan was still alive!

"How can you still be alive? You were clearly dead! I strangled you with my own hands! Your soul has been brought into my illusion!"

The half-grown Zhuge Yuan from the spine sword pulled his completely skeletal left hand out of the flesh and used the bony fingers to smooth the hair stuck to his temple with blood.

"Brother Li, what are you saying? I am Xinpan. Even if I died, the three souls and seven spirits, the ten emotions and eight sufferings, all belong to the old three bodies. How could you take them away?"

This statement made Li Huowang stagger and his face turned extremely pale, almost unable to stand.

"So...so they are not anything at all?"

As these words came out of Li Huowang's mouth, some memories from the past began to change in his mind.

In a daze, Li Huowang discovered that when he escaped from the immortal family, Twin Soul did not sacrifice herself, but he thought of a way to have the best of both worlds.

That was to kill Twin Soul with his own hands, making her become his illusion just like Zhuge Yuan! When he reached the peak of cultivation, he would make them both real.

Twin Soul agreed, and she was happy to be killed by him!

"Dice Boss, I just realized that all my illusions are really just illusions. Twin Soul cannot really live, she is just my imagination."

Behind the messy food stall, Li Huowang sat on a stool with a dead look on his face, repeating numbly.

"I'm not asking you to revive her, I just want you to help me cover up the memories of what I did. Use false cultivation and lies together, you are the best at it, please, I really can't face the illusion of Twin Soul that I killed with my own hands."

"She is clearly fake! But why does she seem so real! I am suffering every moment now!"

"Alright, we are from the same sect, so I will help you this time. You owe me a big favor this time, remember that."

When Li Huowang woke up from that different memory, he clenched his fists and shouted fiercely, "No! This is impossible! It's all fake!"

"Senior Li, what's wrong with you? Pull yourself together," Bai Lingmiao, with tears in her eyes, reached out to support Li Huowang.

And when Li Huowang saw Bai Lingmiao in front of him, he seemed to have caught a lifeline, grabbing her slender arm and shaking her hard.

"Miao Miao! You were there at the time! Tell me! How did Twin Soul disappear back then! Did I strangle her?"

"Senior Li, what are you talking about? Didn't Twin Soul disappear with the immortal family? What's going on?"

Hearing this, Li Huowang laughed. Yes, this is all fake! It doesn't matter if he remembered wrong, did Bai Lingmiao also remember wrong?

Just as Li Huowang was thinking this, he was stunned to see Bai Lingmiao's body quickly becoming transparent.

"Miao Miao!!" Li Huowang shouted and reached out, but it was like hugging thin air. His body passed right through.

"Senior Li, what's happening?" When Bai Lingmiao looked down at her transparent body in surprise, her body disappeared completely the next moment.

"Miao Miao!!!"

"Dice Boss, this is not my fault, you owe me a favor first, and the favor you asked me for before, I naturally can't help with."

The chubby Dice walked over with a smile, extending his greasy hand to pat Li Huowang's shoulder.

"Where is Miao Miao? Where did you take Bai Lingmiao?!" Li Huowang, with bloodshot eyes, stared at Dice in a predatory manner.

"Hey, don't blame me for this. I told you that if you don't repay the favor, sooner or later you will go mad from cultivation. When a living person stands in front of you, how can you judge if they are real or just your illusion? Huh? Huh? Huh? You figure it out for yourself."

"Hehehe~ But it's all a small matter. You help me with a favor, as long as you help me put the little emperor in place, I will help you find that woman."

"It's all because of you! It's all because of you!!" Li Huowang, completely hysterical, reached behind and fiercely slapped the Great Thousand Record wrapped in flesh and blood to the ground.

Then Li Huowang grabbed two barbed iron hooks, one in each hand, and ruthlessly plunged them into his abdomen!As various intestines were dragged out by hooks and viciously impaled onto the Daqian Record, the heavens and earth suddenly changed color, and the five senses of everyone nearby began to coalesce.

"Hey, what are you doing, what are you trying to do? Are you trying to ascend to the rank of a Cang Qiong alongside your boss?" Dice retreated without any hint of fear.

Just as Li Huowang felt a gaze, clearer than any before, land upon him, he gradually came to a halt.

When the Daqian Record on the ground completely transformed into a human skin, the scrutinizing eyes of the Ba Hui in the sky gradually disappeared.

Li Huowang, kneeling on one knee, stopped there, gasping for air, as the intense pain in his body and mind slowly began to subside.

This time was different from the previous ones; ascending to the rank of a Cang Qiong was useless against Dice, whose true body wasn't here. The fat man in front of him was just a pawn in his hand.

Since Bai Lingmiao was already in his grasp, if he wanted to save her, he absolutely couldn't act rashly now!

The opponent had good cards in hand, and in a situation where he had none, playing recklessly would only make things worse, especially when playing cards against Dice.

Li Huowang endured the severe pain, gritted his teeth, and tremblingly pushed the intestines caught on the fishhook back into his abdomen.

"Dice! Didn't you tell me to return to Shangjing? Fine! I'll assist Ji Lin in ascending the throne! And you will return Bai Lingmiao to me, intact, not a single hair less!"

"If you really let Ji Lin ascend the throne, then I'll help you find the white-haired girl. But let me be clear, Red, I really didn't kidnap her. We are from the Taoist sects that deceive beings; if we did something as stupid as kidnapping, it would be a disgrace to our founding patriarch!"

Li Huowang sneered inwardly, not believing a word he said.

This was Dice's game from the very beginning! The encounter with the Tianjian Officer wielding a spine sword on the way here was probably his doing, all to deceive him, to make him believe he owed Dice a favor!

No! This game might have been set even earlier! Perhaps the incident during the Shangsi Festival, when he happened to witness Ji Lin being tricked, was also his doing!

This was the method of Dice, the method of the Taoist sects that deceive beings, Dice's method!
