Chapter 456: Two Yi Mo Kings — A Terrifying Illusion Array!
Buzz…
The black vortex continued to swirl, and soon, Lin Fan and the others could hear slow, heavy footsteps echoing from within.
Then, two pale hands stretched out from the depths of the vortex, pressing against its swirling edge. Moments later, two eerily white faces emerged under the gazes of all present.
The black vortex twisted in the sky like a demonic maw, releasing endless waves of sinister demonic energy. The surrounding temperature plummeted, and even the thick spiritual energy of the world scattered away, as if recoiling from something deeply repulsive.
Before the vortex, two figures appeared, hovering in mid-air. They wore long black robes, their dark hair draped loosely over their shoulders. Their faces were strikingly similar—sickly pale with a faint, twisted smile tugging at their lips. There was something seductively sinister about them.
They said nothing, but the oppressive pressure they exuded enveloped the heavens and earth, so overwhelming that even the patriarch of the Heavenly Marten Clan showed a rare trace of solemnity.
Two Yi Mo Kings!
These were two genuine peak Reincarnation Stage powerhouses. Even the mighty Heavenly Marten Clan had to tread carefully before such an enemy.
"Heh, so it's the clan leader of the Heavenly Marten Clan. Seems you managed to break free of the Eternal Illusory Demon Flower's illusion?"
The two Yi Mo Kings swept their eyes across the crowd before settling on the patriarch, smiling faintly.
"Two Yi Mo Kings... Quite the display. I suppose you've had your eyes on my Heavenly Marten Clan for a long time," the patriarch said calmly. "Go ahead—give me your names."
"Heh, I am the Heaven Illusion King," said one of the black-robed men with a refined smile—if it weren't for the evil aura radiating from his body, he might have passed for a noble scholar.
"I'm the Earth Illusion King," the other added with a grin.
From Hao Jiu You's mouth, the two Yi Mo Kings quickly learned that it was Lin Dong who had ruined their plans by rescuing the patriarch. They also learned that the Ancestral Stone was in Lin Dong's possession.
Thus, they initiated a new plan—activate the Eternal Illusory Demon Flower array and annihilate the Heavenly Marten Clan!
Buzz! Buzz!
The ground trembled, and black light erupted from the peaks of distant mountains. Those beams of light solidified into pitch-black flowers—Eternal Illusory Demon Flowers!
"For the past hundred years, I've been secretly planting these seeds into the mountains through formations. Now, with one command from the Kings, the entire Heavenly Marten Clan will be sealed within a massive illusion array—and you'll have nowhere to run!"
Hao Jiu You raised his head, grinning wickedly as he glared at Xiao Diao and the others.
"Filthy traitor!"
Zhu Li trembled with rage, utterly incensed. He hadn't expected that Hao Jiu You had spent a hundred years plotting the downfall of their clan—and many elders had even trusted him!
Everyone in the Heavenly Marten Clan looked on with heavy expressions. The hatred in their eyes toward Hao Jiu You was overwhelming.
"Clan leader, what should we do now?" Zhu Li asked grimly, turning to the patriarch.
The patriarch narrowed his eyes. "I'll take one of the Yi Mo Kings. Grand Elder, lead ten Reincarnation Stage experts to deal with the other."
"What about the array?" Zhu Li asked, frowning deeply.
Not only were they up against two Yi Mo Kings, but the Eternal Illusory Demon Flower array was also a serious threat.
"I'll handle the array," Lin Dong said with a grin. "You guys just focus on the kings."
"You?" Both the patriarch and Zhu Li were momentarily stunned.
"Of course, I'll need a few people to help," Lin Dong said casually. "You don't trust me?"
"Haha! If you can break that array, then the Heavenly Marten Clan will owe you a huge favor!" the patriarch laughed and waved his hand.
The eerie floral scent of the Eternal Illusory Demon Flower filled the skies. A strange wave pulsed over the entire region, blanketing everything. The sky turned misty, hazy, and dreamlike—clouding everyone's senses.
Many of the weaker clan members had already succumbed to the illusion.
"There's no time. We must act now!" the patriarch barked.
"Yes!"
Zhu Li nodded heavily and waved his sleeve. Ten figures flew up from below—every one of them a top-tier Reincarnation Stage powerhouse, the elite of the Heavenly Marten Clan.
"All others—protect the weaker clan members!" Zhu Li commanded. They couldn't let those already trapped in illusions be harmed.
"Lin Dong, choose anyone you need—just leave enough to guard the others," the patriarch added.
"Got it," Lin Dong nodded and quickly retreated to prepare.
"In the ancient era, when your Yi Mo race ran rampant, we still stood firm. And now, you think two Yi Mo Kings can destroy us? What a joke!"
With a single step, the clan leader burst forth, a terrifying surge of yuan power condensing behind him. The aura of reincarnation rolled out like an ocean, making the very world fall into deathly silence.
"Heh, succeed or fail—we'll soon see," the Heaven Illusion King smiled. He clenched his hand, and dark demonic energy erupted.
Sinister black runes crawled across his pale face, making him look even more terrifying.
On the other side, Zhu Li charged toward the Earth Illusion King with his ten elites.
"Hao Jiu You, maintain the array and eliminate anyone who interferes," the Earth Illusion King ordered before leaping into battle.
"Yes!"
A cold and savage gleam flashed through Hao Jiu You's eyes as he cast his gaze upon the others with murderous intent.
Lin Fan's gaze swept over the two unfolding battles, then led Xiao Diao, Wu Zhong, and the others down to regroup with Lin Dong.
"What's the plan?" Xiao Diao asked urgently, watching the chaos unfold.
"We have to break the array as fast as possible," Lin Dong said seriously. "The longer the illusion scent lingers, the more people will be trapped."
"How do we break it?" Xiao Diao asked.
