Wang Xiaoqiang brought Zhao Feiyan to the Moon Crescent Palace.

Gong Ziyu had already heard about Wang Xiaoqiang and Zhao Feiyan, and seeing Wang Xiaoqiang coming with Zhao Feiyan, she looked Zhao Feiyan up and down and exclaimed:

"Tsk tsk, Little Qiang, no wonder you dared to offend Prince Ann, it was all for such a beautiful person, it was worth it..."

Gong Ziyu wasn't angry, just a little jealous. Seeing Gong Ziyu's slight jealousy, Zhao Feiyan realized that Wang Xiaoqiang might have an unusual relationship with the beauty in front of her and felt a surge of jealousy herself.

"Ziyu, King Ann will soon send people to kill us, come with us." Wang Xiaoqiang explained his intention.

"No, the Moon Crescent Palace is a vast sect; I can't leave. If I leave, what will happen to these tens of thousands of disciples?"

"If you don't leave, you will be in danger!" Wang Xiaoqiang said gravely.

"Little Qiang, don't leave, stay here with me, I'll ensure your safety." Gong Ziyu said decisively.

"Uh, are you referring to the Immortal Enchanting Formation?" Wang Xiaoqiang said somewhat disdainfully, "The effect of the Immortal Enchanting Formation is limited; the people King Ann will send this time, I guess, are at the Immortal Sage Level. Extremely strong!"

Gong Ziyu said, "Not only is there the Immortal Enchanting Formation, but there's also a place that can keep you all safe!"

"What place?"

"The New Moon Illusion."

"The New Moon Illusion...?"

"Yes, the New Moon Illusion and the Immortal Enchanting Formation share the same origin, both created by the extraordinarily talented Madam New Moon. However, there's a rule in the palace. The New Moon Illusion is only opened when the entire sect faces life and death peril; it's not opened easily."

"Is it right to open it just for the three of us...?" Wang Xiaoqiang felt somewhat guilty.

"Between us, what's there to say!" Gong Ziyu gazed at Wang Xiaoqiang, with gentleness and deep emotion flashing in her eyes.

She beckoned to the two, "Come with me!"

Under Gong Ziyu's guidance, the two came to a bamboo forest at the back of the Moon Crescent Palace.

This bamboo forest extended endlessly, its size unknown. The view was filled with bamboo, growing uniformly, with consistent height, finely balanced, and the bamboo joints were all black, resembling ink jade, which was very peculiar. At a glance, they were indistinguishable from each other, all in a hue of green, completely identical.

More peculiarly, runes constantly emanated from the bamboo joints like ink jade...

White mist permeated the bamboo forest, lingering for a long time.

When the three entered the bamboo forest, as they gradually delved deeper, they found the mist thicker,

besides the mist, there were only bamboo, and once inside, it was impossible to discern direction, like entering a Soul-Entrancing Formation, leaving them bewildered and wondering which way to go.

When Wang Xiaoqiang extended his Divine Sense, he found it disturbed, disturbed by the runes emanating from the bamboo joints.

Soon, Wang Xiaoqiang's Divine Sense was thrown into paralysis amidst the interference of runes.

"Ziyu, is this the New Moon Illusion you mentioned? It's truly impressive, much stronger than the Immortal Enchanting Formation!" Wang Xiaoqiang said in surprise.

Gong Ziyu took out a Jade Talisman, and with a flick of her finger, the Jade Talisman lit up, revealing a map of bamboo forest, with a winding path and three red dots representing people, as astonishing as a navigation system in a car,

Using this Jade Talisman for navigation, Gong Ziyu guided the two along the winding path. As they walked, she smiled faintly and said:

"This is not the New Moon Illusion yet. Once we enter the New Moon Illusion, various illusions will emerge endlessly, like one nightmare after another, causing unbearable suffering. Those with weak minds will quickly commit suicide... those with strong wills, upon perceiving danger, will also retreat..."

"Uh, what should we do?"

"We have this." Gong Ziyu said, casting a talisman onto her own forehead, then she separately cast talismans onto Wang Xiaoqiang and Zhao Feiyan's foreheads.

"This is a Spirit Immobilization Talisman. It can resist illusions." Gong Ziyu said.

After passing through a long expanse of mist, the view suddenly opened up, entering a place of unparalleled beauty, teeming with peach blossoms and green willows, like entering a Peach Blossom Land.

In the sky, the clear blue resembled a piece of blue satin, on the ground, the lush green grass resembled a vast green carpet, in the distance, the clear lake water resembled a giant jade.

Nearby, the green willows ceded shadows, each willow sprig resembling green jade, peach trees clustered, their blossoms vibrant red, like a woman's beautiful face, greeting the spring breeze with a smile.

Occasionally, Immortal Cranes flew by with a long call, accompanied by the serene chirping of birds.

Within the Peach Blossom Forest, a new and elegant pavilion stood, ancient and charming, as beautiful as a celestial palace.

Looking at this scene, one feels an intense desire to retire from the world.

This scene is so beautiful, too beautiful to be real, eerily beautiful.

"This is the New Moon Illusion." Gong Ziyu said, "Isn't it very beautiful here?"

Zhao Feiyan gazed around, looking at the beautiful scenery, with a look of amazement in her eyes, murmuring, "It's so beautiful."

"To us, this is beautiful scenery; to our enemies, this is Hell," Gong Ziyu said, "Do you want to try the taste of illusions..."

Wang Xiaoqiang said, "Let me try... see if my Daoist Heart is steadfast..."

"Alright," Gong Ziyu said, calling back the Spirit Immobilization Talisman from Wang Xiaoqiang's forehead into her hand.

Immediately...

Wang Xiaoqiang felt darkness before his eyes, the originally beautiful and peaceful scene turned gloomy, the sky filled with sorrowful clouds and fog, the ground was mountains of corpses and seas of blood, suddenly, several thugs lunged at him...

Upon entering the illusion, Wang Xiaoqiang didn't realize it was an illusion, just like in a dream where one doesn't know they are dreaming.

Seeing several Magic Treasures coming at him, he felt immense fear, quickly drawing the Penglai Immortal Sword to parry, only to find the thugs suddenly vanished...

Next, his body was held by an Immortal Sword from behind. When he turned back, he saw Zhao Feiyan glaring at him fiercely, her eyes bloodshot, filled with hatred and murderous intent, savagely saying, "Wang Xiaoqiang, die."

"Ah, Fei, Feiyan, why do you want to kill me?" Wang Xiaoqiang said in surprise and fear.

Zhao Feiyan raised the sword, slashing towards Wang Xiaoqiang's neck. Wang Xiaoqiang, fearful and unwilling, shouted, "No..."

At that moment, Gong Ziyu again struck the Spirit Immobilization Talisman into his forehead,

Soon, Wang Xiaoqiang's vision brightened, feeling a surge of clarity, the sorrowful clouds and fog disappeared, the mountains of corpses and seas of blood vanished, Zhao Feiyan remained, but unlike before, she wasn't holding a sword nor intending to harm him, she just looked at him with some concern, with a face full of tenderness.

"Phew..." Wang Xiaoqiang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, sighing, "Such terrifying illusions!"

"This is the terrifying aspect of the New Moon Illusion." Gong Ziyu said, "Not just Immortal Sages, even Immortal Kings would retreat recognizing the difficulty."

Saying this, Gong Ziyu led the two towards the pavilion. As they reached the pavilion, Gong Ziyu said, "We shall take refuge here for some days..."

With that, she led the two into the pavilion.

The pavilion was peacefully empty, very quiet, yet very clean, the floor spotless, sunlight poured through the windows, spacious and bright, inside the furniture was complete, very suitable for living.
