In the underground palace, the Extreme Yin Pearl bobbed up and down. Although it was illusory, it was extremely cold, causing a layer of frost to form on the ground.
The middle-aged man suppressed his coldness and waited for Ling Xian's decision.
However, after half an hour, Ling Xian still did not speak.
It was truly difficult to make a choice. If he didn't use the pearl, he would die. If he used the pearl, he might fail. How could he choose?
"Don't tell me there's no way to get the best of both worlds …"
Ling Xian's brows were tightly locked together. The reason why he was troubled was because he wasn't sure what his mission was.
Therefore, he had to strive for the best of both worlds.
Ling Xian looked at the middle aged man and said, "The moment the Pearl of Yin leaves this place, the demon will be born?"
"That won't happen. However, the Absolute Yin Pearl will only be gone for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn," the middle-aged man said in a low voice.
"You should have said so earlier."
Ling Xian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He relaxed.
The power of the Extreme Yin Pearl only needed a breath's time to kill thousands of demons and beasts. In other words, there was no need to worry about demons appearing.
"Let me finish. Although we have the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, as long as we move to the Yin Pearl, the seal will loosen."
"There are only two ways to continue suppressing the demons."
"The first is to detonate the Extreme Yin Pearl. The second is to sacrifice the lives of our clansmen. Moreover, they must be people with bloodlines close to the ancestor's."
The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and said, "My clan's bloodline is special and has always been sparse. Only my son's bloodline is close to the ancestor's."
"In other words, you either detonate the Extreme Yin Pearl or sacrifice your son …"
Ling Xian squinted his eyes and understood everything.
This dreamland was similar to the dreamland in the Carefree Valley. In other words, what he was experiencing now had actually happened.
The decision of a true Mutant was definitely wrong, or it could be said that the controller of the illusion believed that it was wrong. Otherwise, the illusion wouldn't exist.
From this, one could conclude that the real Mutant had most likely stolen the Extreme Yin Pearl and sacrificed the City Lord's son.
"How many people can resist the Extreme Yin Pearl, which can even tempt deities?"
Ling Xian sighed. He finally understood the key to this mission. It wasn't to defend the city, nor was it to maintain the seal. It was to obtain the Pearl of Yin.
If he made the same choice as the Dissimilated Man, he would definitely be trapped in the illusion forever.
However, there was one thing Ling Xian could not figure out.
He knew that the Extreme Yin Pearl was fake and had also guessed the key point. He would definitely choose to detonate the Extreme Yin Pearl. If that was the case, what was the point of the illusion?
Was it the same as the illusion in the Carefree Valley? Did the mastermind just want to see someone detonate the Extreme Yin Pearl?
"Am I thinking too much, or am I overlooking something …"
Ling Xian frowned. He really couldn't understand.
He might as well stop thinking about it. The Extreme Yin Pearl was the only way. If he didn't want the demonic beasts to break into the city, he had to use it.
"Fine, let's make the enemy retreat first."
Ling Xian sighed. Then, the Pearl of Yin landed in his palm and emitted a shocking amount of coldness.
If it was the real Extreme Yin Pearl, it would definitely not have been so easy for him to obtain it. However, this was a fake. The purpose of its existence was to use it to repel enemies.
"Mutant, may I ask, after the enemy is repelled, are you going to sacrifice my son, or are you going to detonate the Extreme Yin Pearl?" The middle-aged man became nervous.
"Don't worry. I won't sacrifice your son."
Ling Xian faintly grinned. Ignoring the fact that this was a fake Pearl of Absolute Yin, even if it was real, he would not sacrifice a life.
"Explode the Extreme Yin Pearl …"
The middle-aged man's eyes flickered and he chuckled, "If that's the case, then I don't have to worry."
"Let's go. First, we will defeat the enemy. Then, we will suppress the demons."
Looking at the loosened seal, Ling Xian's eyes flashed with helplessness. It wasn't that he didn't think about using arrays to fix it, but he had already checked and found it impossible.
This array was very special. It required the Pearl of Yin or the life of a man. Anything else would not work.
Ling Xian marched forward in giant steps and arrived on top of the city wall.
Right now, the array was on the verge of collapsing. If he arrived any later, it would've been broken.
"Another difficult choice."
Looking at the woman and the others below, Ling Xian sighed a long sigh, feeling helpless.
"Haha, it won't take long for this city to be breached, and you will fall along with it."
The young man laughed. Other than pride, there was mockery.
"Shut up."
The woman scolded and then looked at Ling Xian, "I am sorry. I hope you don't blame me."
"That's more appropriate for me to say."
Ling Xian softly sighed. With the Pearl of Yin in his hand, the thousands of beasts were nothing. Even if there were multiple of them, he wouldn't say anything.
"What do you mean?" The woman was startled.
"You aren't thinking you can turn the tables, are you?"
The young man sneered and said, "Stop daydreaming. You won't be able to break this trap!"
"You are right. I really do think I can turn the tables." Ling Xian glared at the young man.
"Haha, what a joke!"
The young man was rocking back and forth from laughing, "Hey, you aren't scared out of your wits, are you?"
"Whether it's a joke or the truth, you will find out soon enough."
Ling Xian glared at the young man and shifted his gaze to the woman, "I am sorry. I can only protect myself."
"Just like how you understand me, I understand you."
"Even if you were a saint, you wouldn't sacrifice yourself to help others."
The woman smiled, "If you can really turn the tables, I will not blame you."
"Thank you for your understanding."
Ling Xian sighed. Whether it was his failure or the woman's failure, he couldn't blame the other. He could only blame this damned illusion.
He took out the Pearl of Yin. Then, an extreme coldness engulfed the entire place.
Immediately, all the beasts were frozen into ice statues. Even the strongest of the beasts couldn't defend.
If this was reality, it wouldn't be this exaggerated. But this was an illusion, it needed a form. Even if a three year old were to summon the Pearl of Yin, all the beasts would be frozen.
"What … what is going on?"
The woman and everyone else was stunned, especially the young man. His eyeballs were about to fall out of their sockets.
"He really did turn the tables …"
The woman stared at Ling Xian. Not even in her dreams did she think he could turn the tables.
"Impossible, this is impossible!"
The young man screamed, unable to accept this cruel result.
This was simply too unbelievable. It was clearly a sure-win situation, but in the blink of an eye, they had completely lost. Who could accept this?
"I told you, I can turn the tables."
Ling Xian spoke softly, "To them, I felt a little bad. To you, I have no pity at all."
"Dammit!"
The young man gritted his teeth and the way he looked at Ling Xian was full of hatred.
"You better not look at me like that. Or else, don't blame me for digging out your eyes."
Ling Xian spoke softly. The Pearl of Yin circled around his body, making the young man tremble in fear.
Everyone present had witnessed how terrifying the Absolute Yin Pearl was. Naturally, he was horrified.
He quickly lowered his head and no longer dared to look at Ling Xian.
"I will do my best to get you out of the illusion."
Looking at the woman who was bitterly smiling, Ling Xian softly sighed and walked into the palace.
The middle-aged man followed him into the palace.
"Explode this pearl and I will be able to escape the illusion. Then, I will think of a way to save them."
Ling Xian muttered to himself and was about to explode the Pearl of Yin.
Just then, a change of events occurred!
