Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16437

Chapter 16435 Illusion

Immediately, someone from behind him responded, and a hundred of them flew out from the crowd behind them. These people released their Shattering Star Swords, which then entered the swords and charged straight forward, ignoring everything in their path. What lay before them

was actually a forest, a forest that grew high on a mountain. So, they were essentially crashing into that mountain.

They wanted to see if the mountain was real. If this was truly Dongtian City, then the mountain was fake. They could tell the difference with just one attack.

The next moment, the Shattering Star Swords crashed into the mountain, followed by a deafening roar. All the swords shattered. The mountain was real! This stunned everyone. Their expressions changed drastically. If the mountain was real, it meant they had been wrong; this wasn’t the location of Dongtian City.

But at that moment, a sharp, piercing sound suddenly rang out, like a flying sword cutting through the air. They were all too familiar with this sound. Everyone looked behind them, simultaneously activating their defensive formations.

But when they saw what was behind them, they were all stunned. What flew out from behind them were none other than fragments of the Shattered Star Sword. These fragments came incredibly fast; the cultivators in the back rows didn’t even have time to react. The fragments rained down upon them. Although they used their defensive artifacts to block some of the attacks, the Shattered Star Sword’s attack was no ordinary weapon. Each fragment possessed the power of a strike from a Kingdom-level expert. While their defensive artifacts were good, they couldn’t withstand the onslaught of so many fragments. Some cultivators in the back rows fell like wheat being harvested, their defensive artifacts shattered by the fragments.

In the end, almost all the cultivators behind them were dead, leaving only the Kingdom-level experts to withstand the onslaught of fragments.

The leader, a kingdom-level expert, paled upon seeing this and immediately asked, “What’s going on? What happened?”

No one answered; everyone was stunned, unsure what was happening or why these fragments had suddenly appeared behind them.

Just then, those who had previously attacked with the Shattered Star Sword returned to the leader’s side. They were about to report the good news when they saw that everyone had died in battle. One of the pilots of the Shattered Star Sword, upon seeing the fragments on the corpses, paled. However, he quickly noticed a large fragment on one of the bodies. This fragment was roughly the size of a normal flying sword, but its shape didn’t resemble a flying sword.

The man’s face turned extremely grim upon seeing the fragment. He flew directly to the corpse, removed the fragment, and examined it closely. His expression darkened further. He flew back to the leader and said, “Elder, we’ve been tricked. We should already be inside the illusion array. Look at this fragment. I remember this is one of the many fragments that my Shattered Star Sword shattered. This fragment isn’t anything special, but because its shape is somewhat different, I remember…” “This fragment…this fragment should have hit that mountain, so why is it here?”

Upon hearing this, the elder’s expression changed, and he immediately asked, “Are you sure?”

The cultivator nodded and said, “I’m sure, Elder. The shape of this fragment is too peculiar, so I remember it clearly. If this fragment doesn’t belong to the Shattered Star Sword I was piloting, then it’s too much of a coincidence, isn’t it? I don’t believe such a coincidence could happen.”

Upon hearing this, the elder’s eyes narrowed. If what the cultivator said was true, then this matter was indeed somewhat strange.

Just then, an elder spoke up, “In this situation, an illusion array can be used.”

Upon hearing this, the elder turned to look at the one who had spoken and asked, “Elder Tong, do you understand magic arrays?”

The elder nodded and then said, “I only know a little, not an expert, but I have some understanding of various magic arrays. We should be inside their illusion array now, and those fragments are indeed fragments from when our Shattered Star Sword shattered. Creating this illusion isn’t actually very difficult; it’s a visual distortion. We see them flying straight forward and crashing into that mountain, but actually they’re flying in circles. That mountain is actually behind us. So, the reason we see them crashing into the mountain is probably because this illusion array actually blocked those Shattered Star Swords.” It shattered instantly, turning into countless fragments that suddenly attacked from behind. As for why they blocked that attack for us, it was probably to shatter the Star-Shattering Swords, creating a barrage of fragments that would then attack us. Those fragments are incredibly powerful, and attacking us like this gives us too little reaction time, maximizing our damage. If they hadn’t shattered the Star-Shattering Swords, our first reaction to their attack from behind would likely have been to dodge, preventing them from inflicting much damage. So they used this method to inflict greater harm, and clearly, they succeeded.”

The elder leading the group looked extremely grim. He continued, “If that’s really the case, does it mean that leaving will be extremely difficult for us?”

Everyone’s faces immediately turned grim. Elder Tong then spoke up, “Not only that, if others come now, they might find themselves in the same predicament as us. They might attack too, and the most terrifying thing about the illusion array is that their attacks might be redirected here, turning into attacks on us. That would make things even more difficult for us.”

Hearing Elder Tong’s words, the team leader’s expression changed slightly. He then asked, “Elder Tong, do you have any ideas?”

Elder Tong said in a deep voice, “Downstream, we might now…” “I can’t tell front from back, left from right, but I’m sure I’m on the right track with up and down. So let’s go down. By down, I don’t mean flying down, I mean attacking down. If we attack down with all our might, I think it will be effective.”

The captain, upon hearing this, immediately said, “Alright, then let’s attack down. Everyone, get ready, attack down, three, two, one, attack!”

With his command, everyone else revealed their magical artifacts. Some elders, reluctant to use their best artifacts, simply took out other artifacts and began attacking down.

A series of loud booms were heard, and the surrounding scenery seemed to shake. The next moment, the captain saw a group of cultivators not far from them, preparing to attack. Upon seeing them, the group immediately stopped, because the group was going to attack with the Shattering Star Sword. If they attacked in the same direction, the Shattering Star Sword would likely end up hitting them instead.

Upon seeing this, the elder leader’s expression softened slightly. He immediately shouted to the other group, “Attack downwards!” He pointed to the ground.

The other group instantly understood his meaning and immediately attacked the ground. The surroundings became clearer, and they could even see the Cave Heaven City below them. This discovery stunned them all. The elder leader immediately said, “Retreat! Hurry! If we’re any later, we might not be able to escape!”

He then led his men, flying away into the distance. The others quickly followed. The other group, seeing this, also flew away. After a short while, they felt a slight lightness on their bodies, which relieved them. They had likely escaped the enemy’s illusionary formation.

At this moment, the two teams saw each other and immediately approached each other. However, when they were still some distance away, they tested each other with a few words before confirming that the other side was indeed one of their own before they joined forces.

The team leader glanced at the other team and said, “We must inform the others, or they’ll be in danger.”

The other team leader nodded and said, “Go to the teleportation array first and stop everyone coming here.”

The team leader agreed, and they immediately flew towards the teleportation array. Before they even reached it, they encountered two other teams. Upon seeing them, the team leader went to them and said, “Dongtian City is surrounded by an illusion array. It’s too dangerous to go there now. We almost fell into their trap just now. It’s best not to go there for now.”

Hearing this, the two teams stopped. Then, they regrouped and retreated back to the teleportation array. Meanwhile, people were still arriving at the teleportation array. The team leader explained the situation at Dongtian City to these people, and the number of people gathering at the teleportation array increased.

Finally, when their numbers exceeded 100,000, they flew together towards Dongtian City.

This time they flew very slowly, observing the surrounding terrain as they flew forward. The elder who had led the army had selected several people from the main force who had been to Dongtian City before, and had them constantly observe the surrounding terrain. If they found anything amiss, the army had to stop immediately, because if the surrounding terrain differed from the terrain in their memories or on the map, then they might be experiencing an illusion.
