454 Illusion
Dong Xi did not know how big the Secret Realm was. Shangguan Patriarch had also mentioned this place, so he might not have been here before.

Dong Xi took out a spirit fruit and gave it to Shangguan Yun’er to eat, to suppress Shangguan Yun’er’s discomfort.

Cui Liu looked at the city in front of him and said, “How do we enter now?”

Tie Zhu said, “Why are we outside the city? If only we appeared in the city.”

Cui Liu said, “The city gate is guarded. Do you want to go in other directions to take a look? Perhaps the city gate in other directions is open.”

!!
Before Dong Xi could say anything, she noticed that her martial arts were a little strange and she could not circulate her cultivation techniques.

This was the first time she had encountered such a situation since she started cultivating this cultivation technique.

Dong Xi looked around and found that they were not the only ones here. There were three other groups not far away.

At this moment, the sound of a horn rang out without any warning. Then, the sky lit up, and shouts of killing could be heard from the surroundings.

In the distance, there were thousands of soldiers, armed with spears and wearing armor. There was also cavalry charging towards the city.

Looking at the city again, it was originally empty, but now it was filled with soldiers, all of them pulling bows and arrows and aiming below.

Long Wei could not care less about the discomfort and vomiting. Long Wei said, “Umm… What’s happening?”

“It should be an illusion,” said Long Wei’s guard, Qing Niao.

Upon hearing the words ‘Illusion’, Tie Zhu and Cui Liu heaved a sigh of relief.

“No, it’s not an illusion.” Dong Xi shook her head.

After being tortured by Songsong so many times, Dong Xi could tell if it was an illusion or not.

Even though Dong Xi did not know why the army had suddenly appeared, she knew that if she did not do something, they would be injured by the soldiers.

Dong Xi subconsciously raised her hand to create a protective barrier, but she realized that she could not use her spiritual energy at all.

Dong Xi was shocked and immediately said, “Not good, we can’t use spiritual power here.”

When everyone heard this, they were all stunned. Then, they began to check themselves.

In the end, they realized that Dong Xi was right. Tie Zhu did not mind. As a body cultivator, his combat strength did not really need spiritual energy.

Tie Zhu took out his boxing gloves and put them on. Dong Xi also took out her long sword.

Long Wei immediately panicked. Long Wei said, “What should we do? I can’t open my storage ring now.”

As he spoke, a group of people had already rushed to the front of the crowd.

“Shoot!” someone shouted.

A rain of arrows flew over, but Dong Xi and the others dodged them in a sorry state. Then, they were about to engage in close combat with the soldiers.

Dong Xi was fine, but no matter how powerful she was, she could not face so many people, nor could she take care of Shangguan Yun’er.

Normally, there would only be one hooligan in a team, but there were two in Dong Xi’s team…

Dong Xi faintly felt that if Long Wei died, this checkpoint would be even more difficult.

Dong Xi thought for a moment and immediately said, “Run first, run to the back.”

Although it was harder to run to the back, at least he did not have to face so much firepower.

Dong Xi grabbed a soldier’s shield and raised it up. She led the crowd and ran backward, Tie Zhu covering the rear.

However, before they could run far, they heard a soldier shout, “There are deserters!”

Then, a series of shouts and shouts sounded.
Dong Xi looked at the soldiers who were not attacking the city but were instead thinking of charging at the crowd. Dong Xi was instantly dumbfounded.

However, soon, Dong Xi understood that he could not escape.

In a situation where they would definitely die if they fled, these soldiers would treat Dong Xi and the others as deserters. This meant that they were now part of the army.

Dong Xi immediately had everyone change directions and run toward the city.

“Charge!” Dong Xi shouted as he ran. “Deserters will be killed without mercy!”

As soon as she said this, the soldiers who were rushing over instantly calmed down.

Dong Xi raised her head and looked at the army on the city wall. There were actually some familiar faces.

Dong Xi immediately knew what was going on. So that was it.

It turned out that everyone was facing a faction war this time!

The moment everyone entered the Secret Realm, the Secret Realm had already divided everyone into factions.

Some people were on the offensive side, while others were on the defensive side.

From the looks of it, Dong Xi and the others were the attackers.

Since that was the case, Dong Xi and the others had the same goal as the soldiers. They had to attack the city first.

However, things were not as easy as Dong Xi thought. The defending side was also very strong, and there were so many cultivators helping out.

They could not use their spiritual power at this time, so it was much easier to defend. These cultivators were still very accurate.

Seeing the soldiers on the ladder fall one by one, they did not know when they would be able to get up.

Some soldiers in armor followed suit, but they were bombarded with rocks.

The two sides immediately fell into a stalemate, which consumed a lot of everyone’s stamina.

The sun slowly set, and a horn sounded. In the next second, the sky instantly darkened again!
