Infiltrating the righteous path? Just another place to be a sycophant.

Looking at the image on the token, the elder beside him smiled and teased.

Some people sighed, some people laughed. Generally speaking, the situation in a dream world may influence a person's choice of teacher.

So Lu An was transported to another person's illusion, which was much more normal and still followed the revenge theme.

"Thirty years to the east of the river, thirty years to the west of the river, don't bully young people into poverty!"

"I'm back! I'm back!"

In the illusion, the disciple stood in the middle of a large house, surrounded by many people, who appeared to be his relatives and friends.

At this moment, he was exuding a domineering aura, and the strength he was radiating was already at the Tribulation Transcending stage. Beside him, a giant reddish-brown blade was stuck in the ground, radiating a bloodthirsty aura.

Those around him saw fear, bewilderment, anger that dared not speak, but also admiration and appreciation.

A man lay on the ground with a huge knife wound in his chest. The blood seeping from the wound stained the carpet red. Kneeling beside him was a stunningly beautiful woman who looked bewildered.

The disciple looked at the bewildered and beautiful woman, took a few steps forward, and startled her so much that she immediately snapped out of her daze.

"No, please don't do this! Spare my life, and I'll do whatever you say."

"You'll listen to everything I say? Fine..."

Brush and pull!

With a swift and decisive stroke, the woman who had just been pleading died with her eyes wide open.

The blood seeped into the carpet, like a rose in full bloom.

"I want you to die!"

He said fiercely, then turned to look at the others.

No one dared to speak anymore. Those who had been angry with him before avoided his gaze and didn't dare to look him in the eye.

He walked to the main seat placed at the very center and top, patted the armrest, and sat down.

"From today onwards, I am the clan chief. Who agrees, who disagrees?"

As he expected, no one objected.

In this revenge-themed scenario, Lu An's first thought upon seeing this illusion was, "Just how much injustice has this guy suffered? What kind of life is he living now?"

This is just an illusion, so does that mean that this disciple is currently suffering from the pain of not being able to avenge his grudge?

Another disciple was chosen, and this time, it was their wedding night.

The first thing she wanted to do was celebrate her wedding night. Lu An could only sigh that this person's dream was so pure. Others either wanted to rule the world, become immortals, or avenge their great enemies, but she only wanted to celebrate her wedding night. She was truly a breath of fresh air!

"She looks like a female disciple; what a devoted lover she is."

Lu An glanced at the portrait on the token and nodded with a sense of relief.

Finally, a breath of fresh air has appeared.

But this woman looks kind of familiar... Something feels off. What's going on?

On their wedding night, the camera pans across the brightly lit banquet table and the bustling crowd, finally arriving at the bridal chamber, which is filled with red lanterns and brimming with joy.

It was a pitch-black night, with the bright moon hanging high in the sky, but Lu An found the scene somewhat eerie.

Something feels off. Could it be a horror movie?

"Congratulations, young master, on winning the heart of your beauty tonight! Winning the heart of your beauty indeed!"

"Yes, young master is so lucky! To be able to marry such a beauty!"

Thank you all for your blessings, thank you so much!

The man outside bid farewell to all the guests and friends, then came to the bridal chamber, which was decorated with double happiness characters and lanterns, and pushed open the door.

Inside the room, a woman wearing a red veil sat on the bed, and judging from her clenched fists, she looked very nervous.

Her heart was pounding, and she still couldn't believe that her dreams had actually come true.

Is this really not a dream?

In the illusion, everything is real because most of a person's memories are erased, and then the illusion fills them with false memories, making them believe that what they are seeing is real.

Lu An took a closer look at the man. He hadn't been able to see him clearly before because the camera had zoomed out, but now he glanced at him again and felt that the man in the picture looked a lot like himself.

Something's not right. Let me take another look.

But when he saw it clearly, he couldn't help but start swearing.

"Holy crap, it's me again?"

Lu An just wanted to curse. He had just seen himself in Guo Fengyi's illusion, and now he was seeing himself in another female disciple's illusion.

What's wrong with me today? Did I stir up trouble?

No, it's just that they look alike, right? Don't overthink it.

"Madam, I'm here."

"Ms. sir..."

In the illusion, the man who looked remarkably like himself eagerly approached the female disciple, then lifted her red veil. The tender gazes they exchanged instantly transformed the atmosphere of the entire room.

It was ambiguous, with a pinkish atmosphere, as if a pink light was shining from the ceiling.

"My wife, I've been waiting for you. I'm here."

“Young Master Lu, no… Husband, it’s not long at all. I can wait for you indefinitely.”

The two held hands, their eyes brimming with passion, their gazes colliding as if they were about to become entangled.

Lu An felt nauseous at the sight of this scene.

What the hell is this? Do these people even have any sense of law or shame? Young Master Lu? You even share my surname, huh?

You not only imitate my face, but you even imitate my last name?

But if that's the case, then it means I'm still quite charming.

Thinking of this, Lu An couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

"My lord, today we drink this cup of nuptial wine, which signifies that we are forever united in heart and soul!"

"Alright! Then I'll toast you, my wife!"

The man poured two glasses of wine, one for her and the other for himself. They crossed their hands and drank it down in one gulp.

Lu An felt a little shy. After drinking, would they have to do *that* kind of thing? Would the illusion censor things in this situation?

"My wife, then we..."

"Okay, my love, don't worry, I've prepared a surprise for you..."

"What surprise? My wife is so thoughtful, there's even a surprise."

"Yes, my husband, look, this is a surprise..."

puff!

A sharp blade pierced through the man's back, leaving not only the man stunned but also Lu An dumbfounded.

What the hell? On their wedding night, she's planning a surprise kill on her husband?

"My wife, what's wrong...?"

"My lord, do you like this surprise?"

Chapter 214 I Just Have a Few Side Hustles

"My lord, do you like this surprise?"

The sudden turn of events left Young Master Lu, who was inside the illusion, completely bewildered, as was Lu An, who was watching from outside.

Why isn't it a wedding night where lovers finally get married? Instead, it's a story of the husband being killed on their wedding night.

"Madam, why is this? Why...why is this?"

"Because I love you so much, I don't want you to go out and see other women. As long as you die here, you won't be seen by other women, and you will always be mine!"

Lu An's brows furrowed even more than the creases on crumpled paper.

What the hell is this yandere?

"Even so, you didn't have to be so ruthless!" the man exclaimed repeatedly. "Wife, why do this? Why do this?! I'll just do as you wish and not go out to see other women."

“I know you will listen to me, but it’s not just that. Even if you don’t go out and see other women, I will still kill you.”

"Why is my wife doing this?! This doesn't make sense!"

"Because this is a test."

Upon hearing this, the man's expression changed drastically. Everything around him seemed to have been touched by something, and began to crack, with even the walls showing cracks.

Tiles began to fall from the roof, and even the clothes on the man in front of him began to decay and turn to ash, gradually dissipating.

Even the festive pink wedding dress worn by the woman gradually decayed and turned to ashes.

This is a sign that the illusion has been broken. The moment the woman killed her husband with a knife and said it was a test, the whole world seemed to be destroyed by something and began to collapse.

Not only his clothes, but the man himself began to break down, starting from his feet and slowly rotting upwards into ashes.

"Husband, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."

"It's okay, I understand. I won't blame you, I will never blame you..."

In the illusion, the man held the woman's face in his hands, his expression full of tenderness, without a trace of blame.

"That's how illusions are; even when they're on the verge of collapse, they'll still develop in the most understandable and ideal direction."

An elder standing nearby offered a timely explanation.

Now Lu An understood. As expected of an illusion, it even had a side where people would cut to the extreme.

Even if I were to disappear, I would still pretend to care about you and encourage you. Isn't that a sure way to stab me in the back?

The creator of this formation studied psychology.

As the man completely turned to ashes and disappeared, the illusion finally collapsed, and the token lost its connection, going straight to a black screen.

On that platform, people finally woke up one after another, but their faces were more or less filled with sadness or absent-mindedness.

As if he had lost something important, he suddenly became completely lost and disoriented.

"If you are already awake, you can go to the back to rest. There is a rest hall in the back for you to rest, recover your energy, and prepare for the third major exam."

As soon as the elder finished speaking, Lu An quickly looked up, trying to find the woman in the crowd, but only saw a figure walking away quickly.

Looking at the clothes, the hair, and the expression, it should be that woman, but Lu An wasn't sure.

However, looking at that figure from behind, Lu An felt a sense of familiarity.

I feel like I've seen this person somewhere before. I have a strong sense that their back view is familiar.

So Lu An ignored it and was about to turn his head to look at the others when he saw a sharp, hateful gaze sweep over him, making Lu An's heart feel as if something was clenching it, and he quickly tensed up.

Following his intuition, Lu An quickly turned around and saw that the look in his eyes was from the female disciple who had just left.

She seemed to realize that Lu An was watching her, so she quickly turned her head away, walked around a corner, and disappeared from sight.

Soon, the others also woke up one after another. Although it took a little longer, when they collapsed on the ground, panting heavily, Lu An knew that it was all over.

As if they had lost their minds, some people went completely mad and started shouting and yelling.

Whatever illusions they dreamt of, they must have struggled to break free from them, which explains their seemingly dazed expressions.

This is absolutely unbearable.

However, the person who was shouting was knocked unconscious by the disciples wielding sticks, which highlighted their importance.

The disciple with unstable emotions was dealt with in the shortest possible time, and the unstable factors were eliminated very quickly.

The people from Lingyitang quickly followed, carrying stretchers in. They placed the unconscious people on the stretchers and carried them out.

"It's all fake...it's all fake. Thank goodness I woke up, thank goodness I woke up..."

A bald man knelt on the ground, tears welling in his eyes, looking somewhat dazed.

It was as if his soul was still immersed in the dream world he had just entered, and he had not yet come out.

"It was all a dream after all. How could I be like that? Thank goodness I have self-awareness, thank goodness..."
