Wasting Money to Become an Immortal-Chapter 210: Are they monsters?
I watched with a confused look as they charged out since I didn’t hear anything that would make it seem like monsters were coming.
Rather, it sounded like humans were approaching us instead of monsters.
However, I could see that I was the only one that was acting this way.
The lackeys all came forward to surround me as if they were trying to protect me, with Liu Ao Xue and Mu Bao Bao standing the closest to me. With the way that they surrounded me, it seemed like they were completely focused on just protecting me from something dangerous.
They were just like the young master’s group that were going out to deal with the threat.
I was the only one that didn’t seem to see the threat that was approaching.
It seemed like I was the only one that heard something different.
"They’re right over there! If we take out these monsters, we’ll get some good things!"
That was the voice that came from a distance.
It was clear that this was the voice of a human, but it seemed like they were hearing something completely different.
They were hearing the sound of a threat.
Before they could charge out, I raised my hand and said, "Stop."
The young master’s group was taken aback when they heard this from me and they stopped in their tracks to turn back to look at me with a confused look. They looked at me as if they were trying to figure out what I was planning to do, but I just ignored them as they looked at me like this.
Instead, I started walking forward towards the voices.
The lackeys and the two girls wanted to stop me, but I raised my hand to stop them.
Seeing the firm look that I had on my face, they had no choice but to let me pass.
They knew that I wouldn’t take no for an answer when I had this look on my face.
After I moved past them, I looked in the distance in the direction that I heard the voices from.
"Where did they go? I swear that I heard them in this direction."
That was what the voice in the distance said when I approached, but all that did was make the lackeys and the girls put up their guard even more.
It was clear that we weren’t hearing the same things.
So I raised my hand to stop them before approaching that voice.
When I came closer, I found that it was a group of humans, but they were dressed completely different from us. It was still the same ancient cultivation style of clothes, but the design was completely different.
These people were looking around for something and were surprised when they saw me, but they quickly put up their guards.
One of them, who seemed to be their leader, raised his sword at me and said, "Who are you?"
I didn’t say anything as I just narrowed my eyes to look at them.
Their group soon revealed awkward looks when they saw that I was just staring at them without saying anything. In the end, they couldn’t take this awkwardness, so the leader broke it up by saying something.
"Since you’re here, you must be taking the Trial of Power just like us."
I raised a brow when I heard this.
Trial of Power, that was a completely unfamiliar phrase to me, but it seemed like it meant something to these people.
If I had to guess...it was most likely what they were doing here.
And from that, I was slowly putting the pieces together.
I had already heard about these people before from Mu Huang when he explained the Void Battlefield to me.
These were most likely the people from another lower realm that also had access to the Void Battlefield.
That was why the girls, my lackeys, and the young master’s group all saw them as monsters.
That was the setting that the upper realm had put in this place to make sure that those from the lower realm would fight each other. Once they fought each other, they would be able to pick out the stronger ones to recruit to their upper realm.
That was why they wanted them to fight.
So this was most likely the illusion spell that they used.
However...why wasn’t it working on me?
It seemed like not only did it not make me see those from the other lower realms as monsters, it also made it so that they didn’t see me as monsters.
Why was I the only one that wasn’t affected by this?
No, there was only one explanation to this.
The only way that this was possible was because of the system.
The system must have done something to prevent this illusion array from affecting me.
"Correct. The system’s natural defenses are too strong for this illusion array to work on the host, which is why the illusion array has been negated."
The system chimed in right at this time.
There was a bitter smile that appeared on my face when I heard the system chime in like this.
After all, there had been plenty of time for the system to speak up before this, but it chose not to say a thing.
The way that it waited all this time just to speak was as if...it was almost as if it had been waiting for the right time to show off itself.
It was like it was just waiting to make itself look good.
I really didn’t know how to feel about this, but it certainly wasn’t the time for that.
Seeing that I still didn’t say anything, the leader of their group said, "Alright, we’re hunting the monsters here, so get out of here. This is our territory now."
The way that he said this was filled with aggression as if he was planning on attacking if I didn’t comply, but all that it made me do was give a sigh.
Then I raised my hand and started gathering my spiritual energy.
