Chapter 259: Murder in the Illusion Realm!

Tears slid down Jiang Feng's cheek as he stood still, his gaze greedily scanning everything before him.

This is not an illusion!

Scenes of childhood memory surged into Jiang Feng's brain like tide.

Those fragments he had forgotten deep in his heart now became incredibly clear.

His childhood was, in fact, happy.

His mother was gentle and virtuous, treating him like a treasured child; no matter how mischievous he was, she could not bring herself to strike him, only smiling as she rubbed his hair, and he also had a group of extremely close companions…

He took a deep breath, suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, and his steps involuntarily headed toward the earthen house from his memory.

It was the home he once shared with his mother, a simple yet warm earthen house.

As he drew nearer to the earthen house, Jiang Feng's heartbeat quickened.

He could even smell the faint scent of food inside, the smell of his mother's cooking…

Just as he was about to step into the house, a gentle and familiar voice suddenly came from inside.

"Xiao Feng, where have you run off to this time? Come back quickly for dinner, mother has made your favorite braised pork."

Jiang Feng's body jolted sharply, as if all his blood had solidified at that moment.

That voice…

It is mother's voice!

Exactly the same as in his memory, gentle and kind.

He slowly lifted his head and looked toward the interior.

He saw a woman in a coarse cloth dress, fastening an apron, turning from the stove, her face bearing a gentle smile.

Between her brows lay a tender temperament; though her attire was plain, it could not hide her unique elegance.

It was his mother!

"Mother…"

Jiang Feng's lips trembled, and using all his strength, he managed to squeeze that single word from his throat.

His voice was hoarse, thick with choking, and tears surged out again like a breached flood.

How many years had passed since he last shouted that word?

Jiang Feng instinctively rushed toward his mother, extending both arms, wanting to hold her tightly and feel the long‑missed warmth.

But at the moment his arm was about to touch her body, it passed straight through!

His mother's figure was like a bubble, offering no resistance at all.

Jiang Feng froze, maintaining the embrace posture, standing dumbfounded.

He looked down at his hands, then raised his head toward his mother, his eyes full of bewilderment.

His mother seemed to not see him at all, still muttering.

"That child, where did he run off to? The food is getting cold."

After speaking, she turned and walked toward the outside.

Jiang Feng watched his mother's silhouette pass by his side, yet he was powerless.

A huge sense of loss and helplessness surged in his heart.

He then realized that he did not belong to this world; this place was merely a memory, an Illusion Realm.

He was only a bystander, able to watch everything unfold but unable to change anything.

Even so, being able to see his mother again was already a luxury for Jiang Feng.

He followed behind his mother, silently watching her back, tears silently sliding down.

If time could stay at this moment forever, how wonderful…

Just as Jiang Feng was immersed in this long‑missed happiness and loss, suddenly a harsh shout of killing rang, instantly shattering the village's tranquility.

"Kill! Search thoroughly! Do not let a single person escape!"

"Found Xie Yinniang! In that house over there!"

"Move! Capture Xie Yinniang, reward a thousand taels of gold!"

Jiang Feng heard the voice, and his complexion changed sharply.

This scene… so familiar!

Instinctively he looked up and saw a dozen dark silhouettes charging toward the earthen house where his mother stood.

Leading them was a tall man in black, his eyes fierce, exuding a strong killing aura.

"Who would have thought the famed Xie Yinniang, hidden in such a remote village, makes us easy to find!"

The leading black‑clad man snorted coldly, his voice icy and bone‑piercing.

"Kill! No matter life or death!"

Jiang Feng saw mother Xie's eyes sharply fixed on the black‑clad intruder.

"I have been in seclusion for years, not wishing to be entangled in worldly disputes, yet you still found me… Since that is so, come then!"

As the words fell, she turned without hesitation, grabbed a kitchen knife from the stove and held it.

Although it was just an ordinary kitchen knife, in her hand it seemed to become a peerless divine weapon.

Her figure flickered, moving toward him like a specter.

"Puff—"

A light sound, and the knife sliced the black‑clad man's throat.

Fresh blood spurted out; the black‑clad man did not even have time to scream before collapsing to the ground, dead on the spot.

Jiang Feng stood nearby, watching the scene, his pupils instantly contracting, his mind like a detonated thunderclap!

He remembered!

He remembered everything!

The scene before him is the most Suffering Memory that has always been hidden in his Brain!

Back then, a group of mysterious people suddenly came to his home and killed his mother.

Because he was mischievous and hid in the wardrobe, he escaped the disaster; moreover, Throughout the village, the people were slaughtered to the last.

He held his mother's corpse and Crying for the whole night.

Until the next day, his master Xuan Yuan Zhenren passed Here, found him, and took him back to Kunlun.

The master said that Memory was too Suffering and would Impact his Dao heart, so he used a secret Method to seal that Memory away.

Over the years, he occasionally has Obscure Nightmares, yet he can never recall what actually happened.

Until today, that sealed Memory has reappeared before him with such Clarity!

Watching his mother bravely slay enemies in the Illusion Realm, her body already cut several times, clearly at a disadvantage.

Jiang Feng's eyes instantly turned blood‑red.

Back then he was a naive child, only able to hide in the wardrobe, watching his mother being killed with his eyes wide open.

That feeling of Despair has been lurking deep in his heart ever since.

This is the pain of his whole life!

Now, the opportunity has arrived!

Though it is only an Illusion Realm, he can no longer allow such a thing to happen!

He can no longer watch his mother die with his eyes wide open!

"Ah!"

Jiang Feng let out a gut‑wrenching roar, and the true Qi inside him exploded to the extreme in an instant.

A terrifying aura swept out from his body, and Throughout the Illusion Realm began to Tremble violently.

His eyes were crimson, his gaze filled with murderous frenzy, staring dead at the man in black who was about to strike his mother.

It's this guy!

Back then it was him who pierced his mother's heart with a single slash!

Jiang Feng suddenly raised his Foot, his body shooting forward like an arrow released from a bow, charging at the man in black.

His speed reached the extreme, leaving behind after‑images.

The surrounding scenery began to warp.

The Boundary between Reality and the Illusion Realm, at this moment, became completely shrouded in Obscurity.

The man in black was about to swing his blade at Xie Yinniang's back, completely unaware of the Danger behind him.

"Die for me!"

Jiang Feng shouted angrily, using all his strength, and a Fist slammed into the man in black's chest.

"Bang!"

A deafening roar, like a thunderclap exploding.

The man in black felt an ultimate terrifying force instantly shatter his internal organs.

He didn't even have time to react; his body flew out like a kite with a broken string, then his breath was gone completely.

"Who are you?"

Xie Yinniang stared at the suddenly appearing young man before her, her face full of doubt.
