Suddenly, she remembered something and hurriedly checked, only to discover that her Flying Sword was gone. The three sets of Flying Needles she had used in the "Demon Realm" were also missing, including her most relied upon Mysterious Lady Needle!

She hastily asked Master Xia, "Did I go out just now?"

Master Xia shook his head, "You've been sitting here all along and haven't moved."

Shi Longgu was shocked. To confirm the truth, she quickly sped out of the ancient tomb, and outside, by her intuition, she found the eighty-one Mysterious Lady Needles deep in the cliff's rock!

It turns out, Shi Feiyang used the Heavenly Treasure Mirror to create an illusion. Because Elder Kuzhu's mana was too high, even using Cosmic Treasures wasn't enough to trap him. It had to mix reality with illusion, true with false, mingle them together to make him fall into the trap.

Even so, it also required Lu Yu, who was very familiar with him, casting spells secretly to control his Primordial Spirit together.

Otherwise, Shi Feiyang initially thought of using illusion to cure him, but abandoned the plan once he realized it was unfeasible, and instead wanted to provoke him into a decisive battle elsewhere.

At this moment, here, Shi Feiyang used Shi Longgu's hand to substitute truth with falsehood, to confuse reality with illusion, using her, a True Master, to dispel Elder Kuzhu's suspicion about whether he had fallen into an illusion.

Elder Kuzhu had suspected he might be in an illusion due to the rush of the journey, but Shi Longgu was real, the Flying Sword and needles were real, and crucially, the desires Shi Longgu displayed were genuinely real. If they had been replaced by Divine Demon transformations, Elder Kuzhu would have seen through them immediately because they were real; Elder Kuzhu dismissed his suspicion, thinking that the opponent was casting a spell of the Inverting Five Elements rather than an illusion.

From here, they entered the Void Illusion Realm, where people and objects were real and fake, among which reality and illusion switched places, and every meticulous part needed to fit perfectly together; otherwise, exposing even a small flaw would mean all efforts were in vain.

Speaking of Elder Kuzhu, he went straight to Baiyang Mountain and saw tiny people in the valley hustling and bustling.

He then began casting, emitting a stream of green light from the front of his bamboo staff, which initially seemed like a thin stream but quickly turned into a tidal wave, overwhelming the area.

Using this green light, he wrapped up all the tiny people in the valley, transported them through the air, and directly to the clouds.

Elder Kuzhu glanced back towards Tu Cui Peak, then with his staff, took these tiny people away from Baiyang Mountain, flying swiftly towards the east.

His Taiyin Spirit Light Escape Technique was extremely fast, and in an instant, he had crossed thousands of mountains and vast oceans, arriving at Wuzhong Ridge on Great Wilderness Mountain.

Back in his lair, he finally sighed in relief, thinking that even if Shi Feiyang immediately followed him, he would not be afraid.

He landed the green light, making the tiny people land on the ground.

The tiny ones were all panic-stricken, looking around at the tall and lush bamboo forest, still in shock.

Elder Kuzhu quickly fixed his gaze on three Plant Spirits, pointed with his staff, and the Mo Zhui siblings were grabbed by the green light, forcibly pulled in front of him, and lined up.

"Are you the thousand-year-old Queen Mother Grass? Hmm, indeed you have some Dao Level, you are Immortal Mushrooms, you are Purple River Grass."

The three little ones clung to each other, trembling, "Are you going to eat us?"

Elder Kuzhu: "Eating you would be useless to me; otherwise, I would have found you and eaten you before you encountered that Demon Dragon, allowing you to live till today?"

"What did you capture us here for?"

"What else? To lure that Demon Dragon here, of course. I've already set up the Qimen Seven Absolute Formation with the Heavenly Gate Formation inside here. Once he arrives, I'll refine him into slag!"

"You're talking nonsense! Our father's mana is boundless. How could your so-called ridiculous Array possibly handle him? You couldn't even burn a single dragon whisker of his."

Elder Kuzhu just smiled faintly, choosing not to argue but instead wait and see.

Mo Zhui asked further, "What if our father doesn't come? He knows there's a trap here and just doesn't come; what then?"

"Then I'll keep you here. This Wuzhong Ridge is a rare feng shui treasure in Great Wilderness Mountain, even better than the mountaintop. Many Independent Immortals opened up cultivation sites here besides me in the past. Later, when the Green Emperor's son was exiled to the Lower Realm, he liked this place too and cast spells to drive others away, wanting to monopolize this land for himself."

Elder Kuzhu spoke with a hint of pride. "He just couldn't drive me away, so he had to settle for second best, building Divine Wood Palace on the very peak. And over the years, he was also forced to be my neighbor. Here, you can cultivate and grow peacefully; there's no one under the heavens who would dare to harm you, enjoying the pure blessings of being Immortals for endless ages."

Mo Zhui said, "So you went to all this trouble, just to snatch us away? My father has already anticipated this; he won't come. Isn't that like fetching water with a sieve? You don't eat us, so capturing us is pointless. Isn't that just leaving you the ridicule of everyone under the heavens?"

Elder Kuzhu paused upon hearing this.

Like Li Jingxu, he also had a preference; he loved children. Li Jingxu even transformed his body into that of a child, becoming the leader of the first children's group in the Shushan World.

Elder Kuzhu was similar, taking a liking to plant spirits like Mo Zhui, thinking they were cute and wanting to keep them by his side. As for the tiny ones, keeping them in the bamboo forest as a landscape addition to the Immortal realm wasn't bad either.

However, in doing so, if Shi Feiyang realized and decided not to come, then he would truly have undertaken a fruitless task, bustling around for nothing and gaining a reputation for snatching others' Immortal Herbs.

Like the Red-haired Ancestor and other younger generations doing such things wasn't exactly honorable, and for him to do such a thing would indeed be a laughingstock among his peers like Lu Yu, Cang Xu, Ji Nan, and Li Jingxu.

His face darkened, "If he truly doesn't come, then I'll just blast open Outer Heaven Divine Mountain and send it into the cosmic void!"

Mo Zhui asked, "You won't attempt to torture us? Our father loves us dearly. If you were to torture us by magic, or break our limbs and send them to father, he would come and fight you to the death without a second thought. As for your plan to blast Outer Heaven Divine Mountain, that would surely cause destruction on an unimaginable scale, and before our father could act, you would probably be struck by Heavenly Punishment. How unwise is that?"

Elder Kuzhu sneered, "Who do you think I am? Would I stoop to tormenting a few young ones to coerce someone else? I've brought you here just to signify to him that it's time to settle our past grievances, an equivalent of throwing down a challenge. If he understands, then he must come quickly for a battle, to decide who is superior and to determine life or death. Otherwise, as you said, wouldn't I become nothing more than a rogue, a lowlife of the human world?"
