Chapter 1260: Crafting Your Illusions

“She really is loyal to you, not even resisting in this situation.”

Qin Shili scoffed, watching as Ling Meng was about to lose control, only to be knocked out cold by Lin Nuo with a single blow, and without any Spirit Technique at that.

On the other hand, she, upon using Ice Technique, only faced Ling Meng’s resistance. The intense surge of Demon Qi was leaking out, threatening to go completely out of control.

And look at that, Lin Nuo effortlessly knocked her out. A true testament to simplicity, resolving a tricky situation using the most straightforward method.

“I was just giving it a try, and it worked. But I guess it won’t last long, let’s take her away.”

Lin Nuo said, effortlessly picking up the unconscious Ling Meng, who still had some leaking Demon Qi, but it was weaker than before.

It seemed that strange music could indeed stir up Ling Meng’s powers.

Ling Meng’s progress wasn’t as fast as Su Kexin’s. Just look at that Su sister; she could probably control her outburst by now, no longer going out of control.

The key point was that there were no means to threaten her explosive abilities at the moment.

But as an experiment, Ling Meng had fallen to the human world. The Handa Alliance must have known a bit about her.

So for Ling Meng to completely break free from her past, she had to overcome this haunting melody.

“Master…”

Suddenly, Ling Meng murmured Lin Nuo’s name, clinging to a faint consciousness. Rather than being knocked out by Lin Nuo, it seemed she was trying to suppress the leaking Demon Qi.

“I’m here, it’s okay.”

Lin Nuo comforted, gently stroking Ling Meng’s head. Though she hadn’t opened her eyes yet, she kept murmuring his name.

“Alright, she seems to be conscious, but not quite. Let’s go.”

“But how do we leave now? Those Demon Realm soldiers are influenced by the music and are on the verge of going berserk.”

Qin Shili remarked, circling surrounded by enemies, all ready for a fight, following Lin Nuo’s lead to carve out a bloody path.

“Let them come, it’s not a big deal. Since I could bring you here, I can naturally take you all out.”

Lin Nuo said nonchalantly, looking confident.

Of course, he usually appeared calm, best case he might die—what of it?

He took a deep breath, conjured more illusions, and attached the shrunken magic bullets to them, swiftly dispersing them all around.

“Alright, we need to leave. Oh, there’s one more thing.”

Lin Nuo proceeded cautiously, planning to create some illusion duplicates for Qin Shili and the others.

This technique was a bit strange; he had to place his hand on their chests and circulate his energy, causing illusions to spring up from behind them.

After all, they had had dual cultivation together, so this chest touch felt as natural as holding hands—neither party felt shame, and instead, the girls rather enjoyed it.

“How did you do that? I don’t remember being able to use the Illusion Split Technique?”

“Yeah, Lin Nuo, how did you pull that off? You never mentioned it before.”

Qin Shili and Mu Yiting looked at their own illusions, quite astonished, wondering if Lin Nuo might create substitutes for them in the future and ultimately take their place?

That thought was quite terrifying.

“Because we’ve had dual cultivation, so some of my energy remains inside you.”

Lin Nuo explained. Once he said that, Qin Shili and Mu Yiting understood; it meant they had traces of Lin Nuo within them.

“Does that mean one day this energy could turn into our child? If so, you shouldn’t waste it on illusions.”

“Not a chance…”

Faced with Qin Shili’s comment, Lin Nuo awkwardly chuckled, thinking, so wanting a child is one thing, but to equate energy to children?

“I understand your feelings, but the desire for children will be fulfilled in the future. I’ve told you, I’ve taken measures; you won’t get pregnant. It’s not that I’m infertile.”

“I never said you were infertile, I’ve always believed in you.”

Qin Shili said. Of course, that was just her wish, hoping that Lin Nuo truly could bear children. Otherwise, one would be lacking a bit of soul without descendants.

As for her, she had seen many doctors, and there’s completely no problem at all.

“Alright, these illusions combined with my own will be split into a few waves to cover ground; that should do it. And Ling Meng’s can also disrupt sight.”

Lin Nuo declared, then swapped out a few of Ling Meng’s illusions. This way, they’d split and move in groups, very meticulous.

“Let’s go.”

Lin Nuo initiated the illusions to act, leading Qin Shili and the others away. Meanwhile, the Handa Alliance soldiers trying to regroup spotted Lin Nuo’s group and immediately recognized the illusions. As a result, a magic bullet was tossed out in an explosion, instantly changing their minds.

Illusions couldn’t throw magic bullets; only the real ones could do that—that was their common understanding.

So they started chasing after the illusions.

At that moment, their real bodies slipped past unseen. Although some tried to block them, they were swiftly wiped out.

The leader at headquarters received the report, noting several humans present, including their experiment, Ling Meng.

“Do we need to pursue, Lord?”

“Their escape isn’t confirmed; hold off on the chase.”

The leader decisively replied. He couldn’t order a pursuit just yet; if Lin Nuo hadn’t escaped, deploying large forces would cause chaos at headquarters.

But sending out a small force might end up in annihilation.

Better to secure the main base.

The leader’s name was Aike, although it had been a long time since anyone called him that.

Years ago, he was a warrior from the Demon Realm, filled with passion, only to be driven out and establish his own faction.

Of course, the Handa Alliance wasn’t only led by one person; there was one in the Demon Realm and two in the Sacred Realm.

Originally, the Demon Realm also had two, but Aike had schemed to eliminate the other one, so now he held full power.

These leaders seemed respectful on the surface, yet each had their own schemes, all wanting to swallow up each other’s powers to unify the two realms.

With humans now added to the mix, everyone aimed to occupy the human realm first to seize the initiative.

The Sacred Realm wasn’t in a good situation either, also battling internally; it seemed like the Demon Realm, where one of the two leaders would eventually be left standing.

“That experiment still shows a reaction, Lord.”

At this moment, a wizard named Han Lu stepped forward.

“That’s good. If that’s the case, she still might be inclined to join us.”

“Indeed, she’s been one of our experiments for a long time, and she’s the last one left. If she can be brought to our side, she might be useful against the Sacred Realm.”

Han Lu continued speaking to Aike.

“Let’s figure out how to deal with that human, Lin Nuo first. He seems to know better how to control her than we do.”

Aike pressed a button, then entered a secret chamber, a damp dungeon hiding many ferocious monsters and secret experiments.

“Release it.”

“But, Lord, isn’t it too early now?”

“Not early at all. Do it.”
