This is simply unbelievable, and Ling Zhenfei suddenly realized something was off. He had come to hunt down Nangong Changhe and the others, so how did he end up in such a place with Nangong Changhe?

At the time, he had followed Nangong Changhe and Number Two in, so if he came in now, then Nangong Changhe and Number Two must have also entered here.

Ling Zhenfei felt that there must be some conspiracy from Nangong Changhe, but he didn't know how this conspiracy was being executed.

But knowing it was a conspiracy made Ling Zhenfei somewhat afraid, because he didn't know what the conspiracy was. Could it be that this Peach Blossom Fairy wanted to harm him?

Ling Zhenfei asked, "What kind of place is this exactly? Earlier, I came in following two other people. Did you see them?"

"I only saw you, and a person of your character is exactly what I like, so I kept you."

The Peach Blossom Fairy rested her head on Ling Zhenfei's chest. Ling Zhenfei enjoyed the feeling, but something felt off, and his head felt heavy.

Ling Zhenfei channeled his spiritual energy into his Spiritual Sea, using it to purify his mind.

As the spiritual energy entered his mind, it fell into a state of emptiness. Ling Zhenfei's heart immediately stirred, as he felt his Divine Sense suddenly become effective.

Feeling around him, the surrounding peach trees appeared lifeless, no longer possessing the sacred aura of an immortal abode. Moreover, these peach trees looked fake upon closer inspection.

The person in his embrace was also different now. The Peach Blossom Fairy, once ethereal and exuding Immortal Qi surpassing that of Lu Huanong, was now like a celestial fairy from Journey to the West descending to the mortal world.

But now, the person in his arms no longer had that Immortal Qi. Though wearing the same clothes, she was enveloped in the air of the mundane. Ling Zhenfei pushed the Peach Blossom Fairy away, surprised to find that she had changed in appearance.

Upon seeing her again, the Peach Blossom Fairy was now a woman in her thirties or forties, heavily made up, with layers of powder covering her face.

At that moment, the entire Peach Blossom Fairy looked at Ling Zhenfei with a shy expression, but her pretentiousness made Ling Zhenfei nauseous.

"Come, husband, give me a hug."

As she spoke, the Peach Blossom Fairy lunged towards Ling Zhenfei. This time, however, she suddenly gripped a dagger, aiming it at Ling Zhenfei.

Ling Zhenfei was startled. Had he not suddenly realized what was happening, he might have been a dead man by now.

No doubt this was all arranged by Master Nangong, with the purpose of killing him.

Ling Zhenfei punched the woman in his arms away.

The Peach Blossom Fairy, after being hit, spun twice in the air and angrily shouted at Ling Zhenfei: "What are you doing? I treated you kindly, why did you hit me?"

Ling Zhenfei sneered, "Enough, your petty tricks can't fool me any longer. Old lady, how dare you call yourself the Peach Blossom Fairy? Don't you see the peach blossoms have already withered."

The woman's face changed instantly, and she said towards Ling Zhenfei, "You little brat, looks like I need to show you a thing or two."

With that said, the spiritual energy on her began to surge violently as if she was about to unleash an Ultimate Move.

Actually, Ling Zhenfei was somewhat clear-headed now. His spiritual energy continued to move through his Ling Tai, although his mind was becoming increasingly unclear.

At this moment, Ling Zhenfei gradually understood the situation.

The current situation was such that everything around was an illusion, designed to stimulate Ling Zhenfei into generating a similar illusion in his own mind.

This was the most terrifying aspect. From the moment Ling Zhenfei entered, he had sensed that spiritual energy couldn't penetrate the 28th floor, and his Divine Sense was unusable.

Meanwhile, there were many flowers and plants on this 28th floor. Upon entering, one could smell the scent within.

Earlier, he had spoken with Nangong Changhe outside for quite some time, and it seemed that Nangong Changhe had a reason for doing so.

Someone like Nangong Changhe wouldn't do anything without purpose. There was a reason for his chat with Ling Zhenfei outside.

Although Ling Zhenfei couldn't fully grasp it, he could guess most of it. If he wasn't mistaken, Nangong Changhe talked to Ling Zhenfei then to delay him.

Those flowers and plants undoubtedly emitted a scent that made people hallucinate, but such a scent required prolonged exposure. That's why Nangong Changhe spoke to Ling Zhenfei so long.

When Ling Zhenfei entered another room, the scent inside combined with what he had smelled earlier, causing hallucinations.

As for why he previously fantasized like that, one can only say that human illusions are often very beautiful, hence why he imagined everything so perfectly.

By now, the woman was attacking Ling Zhenfei, her body enveloped in condensed spiritual energy.

This woman's power was at the Late Stage of Zhiyi, completely unable to match Ling Zhenfei. Even when Ling Zhenfei was disoriented earlier, he could defeat this so-called Peach Blossom Fairy, so now she was even less of a match.

Ling Zhenfei flipped over and struck towards her as well, his power at the Dawen Realm, making it extremely easy to defeat her.

But just when the woman's palm wind reached him, something suddenly flew out from her, a slender rope aimed right at Ling Zhenfei.

Ling Zhenfei was startled, unable to react quickly enough before being tightly bound by the rope several times over.

Ling Zhenfei was shocked, feeling bound so tightly by the rope that he couldn't move at all. He didn't know what this thing was, but the woman was already attacking him with a palm.

Ling Zhenfei was very anxious, rolling twice on the ground to dodge the woman's palm. However, surprisingly, after her palm missed, she didn't continue attacking. Instead, she quickly grabbed the rope over Ling Zhenfei.

The woman laughed loudly, pulling hard and dragging Ling Zhenfei uncontrollably towards her.

Ling Zhenfei was shocked beyond measure. He didn't expect the rope to be so powerful, seemingly a treasure capable of defying his control when pulled.

She looked in the direction of the cough and said, "Who's there?"

Ling Zhenfei also looked over and indeed saw two people, Nangong Changhe and Number Two, emerge from that side.

Nangong Changhe said, "Fairy, your abilities are indeed impressive, capturing this lad."

The Peach Blossom Fairy seemed displeased, apparently blaming Nangong Changhe for appearing at an inopportune time.

Nangong Changhe, seemingly unaware of the Peach Blossom Fairy's displeasure, walked towards her.

The Peach Blossom Fairy said, "You old fool, why did you come over and ruin my good thing?"

Nangong Changhe replied, "This kid is of great use; keeping him holds many benefits."
