Chapter 85 You Must Do It!
"It's been so long since he came back; could it be that the message hasn't been sent out?"
After waiting for a long time in the dark prison, Luo Wanju asked with a hint of worry, as if she was getting impatient.
"Master, rest assured, I made the worst-case scenario plan before I came, so I specially prepared a backup plan. Although I cannot rescue us, I can still send a message."
Feng Bugui, who was beside him, responded in a low voice, half-comfortingly saying, "This letter will surely reach Junior Brother Luo's hands."
"Junior Brother Luo is a disciple of the Grand Elder and is proficient in mechanisms. As soon as he arrives, he will surely be able to break through the mechanisms here and rescue you, Master."
"Is delivering messages the only thing you can do?" Luo Wanju's voice was so low that Feng Bugui, who was standing next to her, didn't even realize that his master had spoken.
"Uncle-Master?" Just then, an anxious voice came from outside, penetrating the iron door made of fine steel, and instantly rousing the two people who had been silent inside.
"Clang, clang..." After a series of sounds, the iron gate made of fine steel was successfully opened from the outside.
The candlelight in the passageway shone into the cell, allowing Luo Chuan outside to see clearly inside, and also allowing those inside to see the face outside that showed obvious surprise.
"Senior Uncle, are you really here?"
The moment Luo Chuan actually saw Luo Wanju, his expression changed from surprise and uncertainty to obvious shock.
"Nephew Luo, you are much more composed than you were a year ago when you first grasped the two meanings. It seems you truly studied the notes I gave you back then carefully!"
"Master Uncle, please forgive me!" Upon hearing this, Luo Chuan's eyes showed no more doubt, and he immediately knelt down.
"Master Uncle, I initially thought it was a false rumor spread intentionally, which is why I was delayed for a while. Please forgive me!"
"It's alright, it's good that you're here, good boy!" Luo Wanju stepped forward shakily and helped Luo Chuan up. She grabbed Luo Chuan's shoulders and looked him up and down excitedly.
"Good child, truly a good child. I didn't expect that your skills have improved so much since we last met, though your willpower is still slightly lacking."
"Uncle-Master, let me get you out of here first!" Instead of responding immediately, she carefully helped Luo Wanju up, trying to lead him out, but he grabbed her arm.
"That's not urgent. There's something more important, concerning the future of my Illusionary Heart Sect. Your senior master asks you, what are your chances of winning the succession battle?"
"Master Uncle, this disciple is filled with trepidation!" Seeing Luo Wanju bring up the matter of the sect leader's successor again, Luo Chuan knelt down again with remarkable ease.
"Senior Uncle, the letter has already explained the whole story. Senior Brother was wronged. The position of sect leader can only belong to Senior Brother. How dare I have any improper thoughts?"
"Foolish!" Seeing that Luo Chuan refused quite decisively, Luo Wanju's voice became much sterner.
Especially her gaze was unusually firm, completely unlike someone who was deliberately acting for him. Knowing the other person's personality, Luo Wanju knew that he genuinely thought so.
The position of sect leader is right in front of them. Some people are fighting tooth and nail for it, while others are as wooden as wood, showing no interest in competing at all.
That's why he was even more anxious.
"Junior Nephew Luo, your senior brother and I have both had our powers sealed, and it will be difficult for us to recover in the short term. Even if we get out, what then?"
"And once we escape, Wei Banchu will definitely find out. When he's cornered, who can predict what he'll do?"
"If he chooses to perish together with everyone else, then my Illusionary Heart Sect will be in grave danger!"
Helping Luo Chuan to his feet, Luo Wanju solemnly said, "Right now, only if you become the sect leader's successor can we disrupt his plans, allowing us to proceed cautiously. Do you understand?"
"So you have to fight, and you have to win!"
"This..." With his head down, Luo Chuan said in a low voice with a look of shame, "This disciple is incompetent. Although I have been comprehending the new intent in my body for a year, I have not made any progress. I am afraid I cannot compete with it."
"Even if you can't win, you have to fight!"
"Do you want that wolf in sheep's clothing, Wei Banchu, to control the entire Illusion Heart Sect? Only by making you the sole heir can my Illusion Heart Sect have a future."
"Junior Nephew Luo, the hopes of the Illusionary Heart Sect rest on your shoulders."
"This disciple is terrified!" This time, Luo Chuan's voice trembled slightly, clearly indicating that he was extremely nervous.
The hopes of an entire sect rested on his shoulders, leaving him feeling somewhat lost and overwhelmed. He even had an urge to run away as soon as possible.
"Given my current abilities, I'm afraid..."
"Don't be afraid, there's still one way to win!"
Patting him on the shoulder, Luo Wanju comforted him, saying, "As long as the three elements are unified, you can directly become the successor to the sect leader, and even the current sect leader cannot object!"
"Three Elements in One? What's that?"
"Simultaneously comprehend the three meanings of my Illusionary Heart Sect; once all three are fully comprehended, they will merge with each other!"
"Three kinds?" Luo Chuan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, clearly understanding what this meant immediately.
Now, the urge to run away intensified, and it felt even more difficult than vying for the inheritance.
"Master Uncle, the secret manual can only be displayed for three days. But three days is too short. Even if the manual is right in front of me, I really can't comprehend the third meaning."
"It's alright, there's another way." After a pause, Luo Wanju slowly said, "It's to transfer the will of Bugui into your body."
"What you lack now is the essence of the Illusionary Mind Technique, and the essence of the Illusionary Mind Technique on Bu Gui's body was only recently comprehended. Your master has a way to transfer it to you. In this way, you can achieve the unity of the three elements."
"What?" Upon hearing this, Luo Chuan knelt down again, almost without a sound. In fact, it wasn't just kneeling; his legs felt weak.
"Absolutely not! This disciple must not do such a thing. Senior Uncle, this disciple dares not and absolutely cannot!"
"You have to do it!" Luo Chuan's reaction made Luo Wanju visibly skip a beat, but he still tried his best to keep himself calm.
"Junior Nephew Luo, this is for the sake of the entire Illusionary Heart Sect. It's not a question of whether you can or dare to do it; it's something that must be done. Do you understand?"
"Disciple, disciple really..."
"Junior Nephew Luo, I'm begging you on my behalf!" Seeing that the other party was about to refuse, Luo Wanju trembled and almost knelt down. This action startled Luo Chuan, who quickly pulled him back.
"Master Uncle, please don't! I... I'm willing!"
"Good, good, in this way, my Illusionary Heart Sect is saved!"
"Are you really going to give it up?" Seeing that an agreement seemed to be reached under the leadership of Luo Wanju, the leader of the Illusionary Heart Sect, Shen Che's voice appeared in Feng Bugui's mind.
"From beginning to end, it seems that your master was guiding you, making you willingly give up the intent of this illusionary mind technique."
"I know, I've always known!" came Feng Bugui's voice, which seemed to carry a hint of bitterness.
"From the moment I entered, my master has been constantly influencing me with the Illusionary Mind Technique."
"But my master doesn't know that I was hunted down for half a year, during which time I had a fortuitous encounter, and my Illusionary Mind Technique has reached a minor level of mastery!"
