Chapter 189: Illusion Pearl

Xu Mingshen?

When Lu Yu heard this name, he felt goosebumps all over his body.

Isn't this the rebellious deacon who destroyed the Kongming magic array in the Xiaolitian Secret Realm incident?

Master Hailing has been tracking his whereabouts, and for this reason he has mobilized a large number of deacons from various peaks in order to capture him alive. Yang Chudie was transferred from Yudie Peak for this reason.

But he didn't expect that when Master Hailing led a group of deacons to hunt him down outside, he actually returned to Dali Sword Sect quietly and appeared in front of Lu Yu.

"Deacon Xu?"

Lu Yu was stunned and surprised, but he couldn't help but hold the Feihong Sword in his hand tighter.

"Why are you here?"

Xu Mingshen smiled and said, "You don't have to be so nervous. I came here just to ask you a few questions. I don't intend to hurt your life. Of course, the premise is that you are willing to cooperate."

Lu Yu's heart tightened and said, "Do you have any misunderstandings about me? I have only been in the Dali Sword Sect for a short time and my experience is shallow. How can it be worth your effort? I am afraid that you will be disappointed!"

Xu Mingshen was not moved at all.

"Don't fool me here. Although you have not been in the Dali Sword Sect for a long time, what you have done is far beyond the reach of ordinary people. Even if ordinary disciples work hard for a lifetime, they can't achieve one tenth of your achievements during this period..."

"Let alone what happened recently in the Xiaoli Tian Secret Realm, your performance is amazing!"

Lu Yu raised his eyebrows.

Sure enough, this traitorous deacon did not come to the door for no reason. After all, he came because of the Xiaoli Tian Secret Realm.

"What? Do you think I ruined your arrangements in Xiaolitian Secret Realm, and you are so angry that you want to take it out on me?"

Xu Mingshen shook his head.

"Man proposes, God disposes. What you did in Xiaolitian Secret Realm was just to protect yourself. Everyone used their own means. How could I be angry with you for this?"

After a pause, he suddenly smiled strangely: "Besides, how do you know that my plan didn't work?"

Lu Yu's heart moved, and he always felt that the other party's words seemed to imply another layer of meaning, but for a moment he couldn't figure out what he meant.

Xu Mingshen continued: "I heard that when the incident happened in Xiaolitian Secret Realm, you were the last person to come out of the secret realm. I came here to ask you, when you left Xiaolitian Secret Realm that day, did you see the Huanli Pearl?"

Huanli Pearl?

Lu Yu was shocked, and immediately thought of the mysterious black bead, but his face showed no emotion.

"Illusionary Bead? What is that?"

Lu Yu had a blank and innocent expression on his face.

Xu Mingshen frowned slightly.

"Stinky boy, don't play dumb with me here. You are a smart man, you should know that I went to such great lengths to trick Feng Ruhai into sneaking in here, and I wouldn't come to you without any basis."

"Illusionary Bead is a rare treasure. All the abnormalities in the Xiaolitian Secret Realm this time are caused by it. Even the Wanxiang Demon King was transformed by the power of heaven and earth gathered in the secret realm."

"Although Li Wangji used his divine power to kill the Wanxiang Demon King, he could only kill his form, not his spirit. According to the pre-set procedure, the Wanxiang Demon King was killed. After that, the Huanli Pearl will enter a dormant state and will automatically connect to the magic circle and return to its original place, but I have not received the returned Huanli Pearl yet..."

"In the Xiaolitian Secret Realm, you deliberately led away the Wanxiang Demon King. In other words, when the Wanxiang Demon King was killed by Li Wangji, you were the person closest to it. If there is any unexpected change in the Huanli Pearl, you are undoubtedly the most suspicious person!"

Lu Yu had long guessed that the change in the Xiaolitian Secret Realm was related to the mysterious black pearl. Now that it has finally been confirmed by Xu Mingshen, he is still very surprised.

It is incredible that such a small bead actually contains such a huge power.

At the same time, Xu Mingshen's words also solved a doubt that he had always had. Why did the bead suddenly run out by itself when it was placed in the Qiankun bag? It turned out that it actually had the function of connecting to the teleportation magic circle. Most likely, it was captured by Lu Yu's Qi Sea during the process of opening the magic circle, and then merged into the red lotus cyclone.

"So, all the changes in Xiaolitian Secret Realm are your work? Are you the black hand behind the scenes?" Lu Yu asked back.

"This is not a problem you should worry about!"

Xu Mingshen responded coldly.

"If I were you, I should think about my situation carefully!"

As he spoke, he took a step and slowly approached Lu Yu.

With every step he took, the pressure around him increased. When he walked completely in front of Lu Yu, Lu Yu felt as if a thousand pounds of force was pressing on him.

"Now, I'll give you another chance. Think about it carefully before answering me!"

"Have you ever seen the Huanli Pearl?"

Lu Yu truly felt the other party's terrifying cultivation that was as vast as the deep sea.

Xu Mingshen's cultivation was definitely among the top among the deacons of Dali Sword Sect. Even compared with Fang Haoran, it was probably not much worse.

At this time, the other party's aura was ready to go, standing tall like a mountain.

Lu Yu could not help but feel that as long as his answer did not satisfy the other party, the mountain would crush him into a pile of dust in an instant.

At this moment, Lu Yu clearly felt the insurmountable gap in strength between the two.

The opponent in front of him was someone he could not compete with at all.

It must be said that this moment was a dangerous moment he had never experienced before.

Even when he was alone facing the Supreme Demon in the Xiaolitian Secret Realm, at least he knew that there was a Li Wangji standing behind him, but now he was blocked by the other party in this small alchemy room, and it was too late to use either the Star Sword Art or the Flying Flower Escape Shadow.

And the other party was able to come here quietly, so cautiously, naturally would not give him the opportunity to ask for help from the outside world.

He could only rely on his own strength to solve the current dilemma.

Lu Yu's mind was spinning, and he tried hard to think of countermeasures.

Finally, he made a decision.

Facing the enemy in front of him, it was useless to fight hard, and he could only outsmart him!

Lu Yu gritted his teeth, trying to resist the opponent's powerful pressure, and laughed softly.

"When I left Xiaolitian Secret Realm, I did see a black bead. I remember that bead was very special. There seemed to be clouds and mist inside the bead. As for whether it was the Huanli Bead you mentioned, I don't know!"

Xu Mingshen was a little surprised. He originally thought that he would have to grind for a while, at least suffer a bit, before Lu Yu was willing to tell the truth, but he didn't expect him to tell the truth so straightforwardly.

However, he was soon attracted by what Lu Yu said, and a look of ecstasy appeared on his face.

"Yes, this is the Huanli Bead! Where is it now?"

Lu Yu deliberately sighed.

"If you came a little earlier, you could see it, but it's a pity that you came a step late!"

Xu Mingshen frowned and said, "What do you mean by this?"

Lu Yu turned sideways and pointed his finger at the rotating alchemy furnace behind him.

"I have already put the Huanli Pearl into the alchemy furnace. I am afraid it has turned into a pool of liquid!"

"What?"

Xu Mingshen was shocked and lost his voice.

"You mean, the Huanli Pearl is in this alchemy furnace? You actually used the Huanli Pearl as a material for alchemy?"
