Five minutes later, under everyone's watchful eyes, Xie Ling'er sat down cross-legged.

After sitting down, she glanced at Hu Xiaobei and softly said, "Xiaobei, do you think I will succeed?"

Feeling her trepidation, Hu Xiaobei nodded forcefully and said, "Of course!"

"How coincidental, I think so too!"

After responding, she closed her eyes and began to prepare for her final breakthrough!

After Xie Ling'er relaxed and closed her eyes, Bai Xuening moved closer to Hu Xiaobei and asked anxiously, "Xiaobei, Ling'er sister... Ling'er sister won't be in any trouble, right?"

Feeling her anxiousness, Hu Xiaobei smiled and said with utmost confidence, "Don't worry, with me here, she absolutely won't encounter any trouble! So, let's just wait quietly!"

"Okay!"

Upon hearing Hu Xiaobei's resolute words, Bai Xuening smiled…

Not far away, Xie Wenlei and Xie Wenqiang also overheard Hu Xiaobei's confident statement…

They slightly furrowed their brows…

They really wanted to believe Hu Xiaobei's judgment, but to be honest, they still found it hard to believe that Xie Ling'er would break through…

Because they had endured the trial before and knew the difficulty was extremely high…

Hu Xiaobei was unaware of their hesitation, as he was intently watching Xie Ling'er…

To be honest, Hu Xiaobei was also a bit nervous because he knew he currently couldn't help at all; everything depended on Xie Ling'er…

Hu Xiaobei knew that Xie Ling'er excelled in the Illusion Array, so her final test must be related to the Illusion Array as well…

"The Illusion Array strikes the mind! If she can just maintain her true self as much as possible, she should be able to overcome the trial!"

Muttering to himself, Hu Xiaobei noticed her eyebrows suddenly knit together…

"It looks like her trial has begun!"

Muttering to himself, Hu Xiaobei raised his head and silently watched her…

Hu Xiaobei's guess was spot on!

Xie Ling'er's final trial had now begun!

Now, Xie Ling'er found herself in a vast and endless Gobi desert.

"Who… who am I… why… why am I here?"

After opening her eyes, she looked around somewhat bewilderedly!

She tried to remember something, but couldn't at all, as all her memories appeared to have been completely sealed…

"I… I don't remember who I am, but before, it seems I was being pursued? But why was I being pursued? And by whom?"

As she murmured, she tried as hard as she could to recall…

She felt she must be able to remember, but no matter what, she just couldn't…

Just then, she suddenly heard a frantic shout!

"Over here! Xie Ling'er is over here! Everyone come over!"

Hearing this absolutely frantic roar, she looked bewilderedly towards the distance!

Soon, she murmured to herself, "Xie Ling'er? Are they… are they calling for me? Is my name Xie Ling'er?"

As she frowned, fragments of memories crazily surged into her mind…

In an instant, she remembered she was Xie Ling'er from the Xie Family…

And those pursuing her were members of the Xu Family who had previously been trapped by her!

After they completely escaped their predicament, they madly pursued her and all her family members…

Other members of her family had nearly all been killed while covering for her escape.

Remembering this information, she saw those vile-looking people rapidly running towards her…

"No! I can't stay here. The people in my family have already sacrificed themselves to save me. I… I can't confront them head-on now; I must leave, I must preserve my strength!"

As she spoke, she quickly turned and ran.

But her speed was truly a bit slow…

Two minutes later, she was completely caught and was knocked unconscious…

When she woke up again, Xie Ling'er found herself in a pitch-dark, gloomy dungeon, the whole dungeon was sunless, and the air was filled with a very strong smell of blood…

Touching the cold stone walls, she looked around…

She discovered the only light was from a small window in the corner…

After getting used to the darkness, she expressionlessly felt the handcuffs on her wrists!

In that instant, he knew he had been locked up!

She didn't know why, but she was clear that she had truly lost her freedom completely.

…

"Is anyone there? Is anyone here? Come out! Come out!"

Xie Ling'er didn't know where she was, nor did she know what was happening at home, so she just screamed frantically…

As Xie Ling'er's screams filled the air, footsteps slowly approached…

"Someone's coming!"

Thinking this, Xie Ling'er quickly looked up and soon saw two people approaching…

Upon examining them closely, Xie Ling'er recognized these two individuals…

They were the Grandmasters of the Array from her family, Xie Wenlei and Xie Wenqiang…

"You two… what are you doing here?"

Hearing Xie Ling'er's somber inquiry, they laughed…

Soon after, Xie Wenlei said indifferently, "Family Head, didn't you always pride yourself on being smart? How come you still can't guess why we are here? It's obviously because we know the times!"

"That's right! We are the promising youth who recognize the times!"

Hearing this, Xie Ling'er knew these two had obviously betrayed her…

Sneering coldly, Xie Ling'er said without expression, "You two are truly shameless, clearly being lackeys but speaking so self-righteously!"

"We've said it already, it's not about being self-righteous, it's about being the promising youth who recognize the times! Now, we are here to give you one last chance. Submit to us now, and we will spare your life. Otherwise, you are doomed."

"Submit to you? Idiots, do you think that's possible? Do you think everyone is as spineless as you?"

Xie Ling'er flatly refused!

At that moment, she desperately wanted to tear these two to pieces!

"It seems, you won't cry until you see your coffin! Well then, I'll just have to show you what's truly terrifying!"

As he spoke, Xie Wenlei gently clapped his hands…

Soon, two people, dragging a disheveled individual, quickly approached.

Seeing the disheveled figure, Xie Ling'er felt a pang of familiarity…

Upon closer inspection, she realized the disheveled person was Hu Xiaobei…

Instinctively, she exclaimed, "Xiaobei, Xiaobei!"

After calling out twice, she noticed there was no response…

Quickly raising her head, she said coldly, "What have you done to Xiaobei? Tell me clearly!"

"Nothing much, just showing him who's boss! Now it's best you comply with our orders, or you'll end up the same way!"

With that, Xie Wenlei turned to his subordinates and commanded, "Wake this trash up!"

"Yes!"

The subordinates responded, promptly picked up a bucket of cold water, and splashed it on Hu Xiaobei.

In that moment, Xie Ling'er quickly turned to look!

Soon, Xie Ling'er heard the familiar moan, then saw Hu Xiaobei's eyes open.

"Xiaobei… are you okay?"

After Xie Ling'er spoke, she received no response, but saw him start to cry.

"I give up, I completely give up! Spare me! Spare me!"

Hearing this desperate plea, Xie Ling'er was stunned…

Xie Wenlei, seeing her stunned expression, said, "He was stubborn before too, but now he's completely given in! You'd better comply quickly, or you'll end up the same way!"

Xie Ling'er heard his threat, gazed deeply at him, smiled, and soon said lightly, "This Illusion Realm is indeed very realistic! I almost believed all this until now! However, you made one mistake, and that's Hu Xiaobei. He would never surrender, and definitely wouldn't beg for mercy!"

Xie Ling'er had truly thought everything was real until then!

But when Hu Xiaobei begged for mercy, she fully realized it was all false…

She knew all this was definitely fake, as Hu Xiaobei was the undefeated War God who couldn't possibly beg for mercy!
