Chapter 139: Chapter 139: Enter the Weird, Fall Mortal

"What’s the point of contacting you, to be cannon fodder?" Wang Zijia thought and said indifferently, an excuse even he didn’t quite believe, "There was a little accident, my communication charm broke."

"That being the case, it was we who didn’t consider thoroughly before." Responded Number Two in all seriousness.

In the course of their conversation, the three came together.

As they neared, when Wang Zijia felt the aura of the blood-colored crystal up close, his eyes flickered slightly.

This thing, why does it slightly resemble a solidified Blood Droplet?

As the thought flashed through his mind, Wang Zijia did not question it and went in the direction of the combat fluctuations with the other two.

They were already not far from the battlefield, so after they crossed two streets, the three of them arrived at the scene of the incident and saw the battle.

The patrol team that Wang Zijia had encountered earlier was fighting with a young man.

Wang Zijia recognized the young man, or at least he recognized the face.

Unless he remembered wrongly, it was one of the leading disciples of the Daqian team that had entered the Ginseng Garden with them in front of the Ginseng Garden previously.

Of course, the young man was different now, he was no longer wearing a green scholarly robe.

Torn and sweaty shirt, coarse cloth shorts, and a pair of straw sandals on his feet, he looked like a mere mortal struggling to survive in this market.

A rune on his forehead shone like a third eye, an energy shield emerged from his body, and as mana surged throughout his body, he held his own against the ten Law Enforcement Team members who were attacking him.

By the time Wang Zijia and the others arrived, the fight had reached its final stage, the young man trapped in a vast net formed by the ten members of the Law Enforcement Team, which had shrunk to a radius of a few meters.

The young man’s face was desperate, constantly using all kinds of lifesaving techniques, but in the end, he couldn’t break free from the restraint.

With the closing of the net, the young man was bound and gradually transformed into a rune line that disappeared into his body.

The young man’s spiritual light gradually faded, his mana rapidly depleted, and the rune on his forehead quickly dimmed, becoming ordinary in the blink of an eye.

Following that, the young man appeared dazed, confused, puzzled, and clueless. Compared to his previous fierce appearance, he was genuinely like an ordinary young man.

"What crime did I commit to warrant my arrest?" the bewildered young man asked nervously.

"You disrupted the order of the market and damaged public property. According to the law, you will be fined five coins and detained for one month!" After completing the binding, the ten members of the Law Enforcement Team treated the young man as an ordinary person, with no recollection of the intense battle just now. After announcing the sentence, they gave the young man no chance to defend himself and commanded, "Take him away!"

Then the ten of them took the young man away, and the surrounding ruins of the battlefield quickly restored, leaving only a few ordinary stalls that hadn’t recovered. Stall owners promptly stepped forward to clean them up.

It seemed as though those were the stalls that the young man had disrupted just now, and thus he had committed a crime.

Wang Zijia watched this scene silently, especially the young man’s transformation. It was obvious that he was thoroughly caught in the illusion and had fallen into the stage of forgetting himself due to the illusion. This caused Wang Zijia to feel somewhat heavy-hearted. He instinctively looked around at the stall owners, searching for familiar faces.

This was an ordinary street, with many people on it. Unfortunately, Wang Zijia did not see a single familiar face.

Given the strange changes he had seen in the people on the street when he had first ascended, it could be basically determined that following the rules of this market, as it used to be, was the most basic condition for not falling into illusion.

It was unknown whether the rule that violating the market rules would cause one to fall into an illusion would be triggered only when noticed by people in the market, or if it was reactive, automatically triggered whether or not anyone saw the rule being broken.

Before he could be sure of his safety, Wang Zijia dared not recklessly break the rules to test it.

"Damn it, this is clearly a very complete illusion domain. Once assigned a role, even if we retain our original memory, we will eventually be assimilated." Number Thirteen muttered at that moment.

"We should hurry to find the scene of the incident in the illusion domain. Otherwise, we will eventually become one of them." Frowning at the crystal overhead, Number Two spoke in a grave tone.

Common illusion domains often retain the most profound events of the Illusion Master’s life before they fell into the illusion, or what happened at the moment of entering the illusion, constantly repeating the plot like an infinite loop play.

To leave, one has to find the key point of this play and find an opportunity to break the illusion from it.

On hearing Number Two’s words, Wang Zijia stirred and asked, "Could you tell me about the situation here? After all, your team has been lurking here for years, you should know a thing or two about this place, right?"

However, Number Two shook his head and said, "If I’m not mistaken, the Hundred Demon Bewitching Domain originally superimposed two domains, what we call a double yolk."

Wang Zijia frowned and did not interrupt Number Two.

"All these years, the Hundred Demon Bewitching Domain which the Wanyu Sect has been sweeping and maintaining, is likely the external domain formed by the corpse of the individual from the Blood Demon Sect, thus it has been unceasing and the demonic aura has hardly weakened."

"But what no one knows is that the true core of the illusion domain is the internal domain formed when that Mortician fell into deviation, which is here. Only it has not erupted for all these years, hence no one has discovered it."

"Something triggered the internal domain to open this time, bringing us, the people who entered through the Class A resource points, into the illusion domain."

Wang Zijia listened to Number Two’s explanation, various pieces of information flashed through his mind.

Information from the weights, the explosion of the Blood Demon, only counted as a half Numerical Sin illusion domain.

The hundred demons in the Hundred Demon Bewitching Domain, more inclined to indescribable Fate Sin...

As the pieces of information surfaced, his understanding of the Hundred Demon Bewitching Domain gradually improved.

And the people around him, if they were indeed like those from the Prince Qi’s Mansion, perhaps another direction could be tried to break the illusion...

While Wang Zijia was contemplating, the three of them paired up and began searching the city.

"Why aren’t you searching towards the central area?" led by the two others because of his lack of understanding of illusion domains, Wang Zijia asked after they had been walking for a while, as he noticed they were heading away from the central area.

"We’ve been in here for almost two hours. The first place we went was the central Nanfei Square and Nanfei Official Mansion. We didn’t find any breakthroughs." Number Thirteen looked at Wang Zijia and asked, "Haven’t you been in here for long, Senior Brother?"

Wang Zijia nodded and said, "Less than two hours."

At this moment, Number Two said, "Do you have any ideas, Senior Brother?"

Instead of answering his question, Wang Zijia countered, "Where were you planning to go next?"

"We’re planning to go to the East District." Number Thirteen stated.

Upon hearing this, Wang Zijia asked, "Are you planning to go to Market Lingmai Mountain?"

The Sect’s records of the internal structure of Nanfei Manor mentioned three Class A spiritual item Flesh Fields, namely Nanfei Square, Nanfei Official Mansion, and Lingmai Mountain.

"Yes!" Number Two nodded and replied, "Now we have no choice but to go and check, to see if there’s a breakthrough."
