Chapter 322: Chapter 322: After Disguising Herself as a Man, the Rabbit Spirit Ran Away with a Baby in Her Womb 32

The man by Su Zhiruan’s side looked towards them, his voice lowered, “You guys must be new here.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone,” the man turned his head and glanced at the white-robed Sect Hierarch, a flicker of hatred passing through his fervent eyes, “That scum always does this; every time there are newcomers, he lets them go first, even the wealthy are no exception. We were here first!”

After exchanging a glance with Changqi, Su Zhiruan took the initiative to speak, “May I ask how long you’ve been here?”

“A whole year!” The man’s eyes deepened with hatred as he clenched his fists, “Most have arrived much later than me, yet they have been able to go in and receive the immortal elixir. Some might have even garnered the favor of an Immortal and stayed in the Immortal World!”

“How can you be sure they all got the immortal elixir once they went in?” Changqi looked at the blood-red mirror not far away, wondering how the Demon World manages to brainwash so many people into thinking this was a gateway to the Immortal World when, in fact, they might be devoured alive as soon as they entered.

The man was at a loss for words for a moment before he stiffened his neck, looked up at Su Zhiruan and Changqi defiantly, and his voice grew louder, “I am certain! You’re here to stop me, too! Why, just because someone has money, they can do whatever they want?!”

His volume had grown too large, quickly drawing the attention of many others around them.

This included the white-robed Sect Hierarch.

“Honored guests, please come onto the stage,” the white-robed Sect Hierarch inwardly thought Su Zhiruan and Changqi were complete fools, but outwardly he was brimming with enthusiasm. In reality, he couldn’t wait for the two to hasten their own deaths, he announced loudly, “Ladies and gentlemen, for today’s elixir retrieving ceremony, I’ve decided to let these two distinguished guests from afar go first.”

He looked at the mirror and turned towards Su Zhiruan and Changqi with an inviting gesture, “Please, after you.”

Changqi and Su Zhiruan didn’t falter, stepping onto the stage together, amidst countless envious, jealous, and resentful gazes, they both walked up to the high platform.

“Why them?!” A small disturbance erupted among the suppressed crowd, which then grew more intense as more and more dissatisfied people stood up.

“Why should they get to go in first?! We’ve been here for so long and haven’t been able to enter the Immortal Realm to retrieve the elixir; just because they arrived, we have to make way?!” Someone leapt onto the stage, pointing at Su Zhiruan and Changqi’s noses, cursing loudly.

More people jumped up, attacking indiscriminately to protect their own interests.

The white-robed Sect Hierarch watched them with a cold smirk, his tone strange and unsettling, “Don’t rush, don’t rush, you’ll all have a chance to go in, all will get the immortal elixir.”

“We want to go in now! Get them down!” An overzealous elder jumped forward, and before anyone could react, he suddenly charged into the mirror.

With the aid of Changqi’s hand, Su Zhiruan could completely see the scene inside.

The moment the elder entered, the red mist on the mirror grew denser.

Yet, the people below couldn’t see the true scene, only illusions that had been concocted.

“He’s gone in! He’s gone in!”

“Why don’t we all rush in at once?”

…

The whispers among the crowd below gradually turned into loud conspiring.

Seeing this scene, the white-robed Sect Hierarch was not the slightest bit anxious, coldly smirking as the two elders by his side remained silent, watching the spectacle unfold.

Su Zhiruan walked over, hands on her hips as she struck a bratty pose, “Sect Hierarch, didn’t we agree that we would go first? Can’t you even control these people?!”

“Young Madam, with things as they are, how much do you think I can control?” The white-robed Sect Hierarch looked at her impatiently, spreading his hands, “They’re just ordinary people; why don’t you use ordinary ways to settle this?”

With those words, it was clear he had completely washed his hands of the situation, allowing the unrest to continue unabated.

When the crowd saw he didn’t care, they became even more reckless.

There were limited spots available in the mirror, and everyone wanted to be the first to grab them; those who were strong and healthy immediately started to fight.

Su Zhiruan and Changqi squeezed into a less conspicuous corner as they had hoped.

The place was packed with many, many people, almost filling the entire valley.

“Sect Hierarch, what should we do next?” Su Zhiruan whispered, leaning against the wall, with Changqi in front of her.

The two of them were very close to each other, and Su Zhiruan’s hand was discreetly placed on her abdomen, worried he would notice.

“I will break this Illusion Realm and let them see with their own eyes what it is they’re seeking,” Changqi said, his hand shimmering with golden light. Amidst the crowded masses, only Su Zhiruan saw everything with her own eyes.

As he moved, Su Zhiruan looked up at the sky.

She was just a Little Rabbit Demon and couldn’t see through illusions with the naked eye, but now, she watched as the blue sky and white clouds suddenly tore open, and red and black mists poured in, turning the sky gradually bleak.

“What–what is that?!” A young woman pointed at the sky and cried out in astonishment, “The sky is splitting open!”

“It’s all over, it’s all over, is this divine retribution?!”

“No, no–look at the Immortal Mirror quickly!!”

Most of the people present were aiming to enter the Immortal World through this so-called Immortal Mirror to obtain the immortal elixir. If they were lucky, they could even catch the eye of an Immortal and be taken to the Immortal Palace–all these were what the Sect Hierarch in the white robe had told them.

Initially, the Sect Hierarch was dismissive, as the illusion had been set by him. In his eyes, everything he saw was always real, but when he heard the people murmuring and looking at the sky, he realized something was off.

He quickly stood up, trying to fix it.

But at that moment–

“Aaahhh! Look, the Sect Hierarch is actually a Demon!!”

“A Demon?! How can there be a Demon in the Human World?!”

“He has no legs, and those two elders, they don’t have legs either, they are all Demons!”

…

At this point, Changqi completely lifted all the illusion formations. Initially, the people didn’t know what was happening, but once they realized, they knew they had been deceived.

Everyone’s faces showed horror; women screamed, men became agitated, and children cried out in fear.

“Shut up, all of you!!” The Hierarch finally realized that his human disguise had completely fallen apart. Demons from the Demon World were ugly, legless, and largely shrouded in mists.

Seeing his illusions dispelled, he quickly set up a Barrier, trapping everyone present.

Those who intended to sneak away hit the Barrier and were brought back.

“He is a Demon, he is a Devil! Demons eat people!!”

“Look at the mirror, it has changed now!” someone pointed at the Immortal Mirror.
