“Team up together? The Heavenly Palace’s people’s hearts moved slightly as they looked at Cultivator Zuosi and his party who were smiling kindly and sincerely at them.

The Heavenly Palace people exchanged glances with each other, and said, “Fine with us. The more of us there are, the safer it’ll be.”

A hint of disappointment flashed in the eyes of Cultivator Zuosi and the others when they learned that Cultivator Junjun, Goddess Nuwa, and the rest would stay behind. Then, the eight of them entered the Mirage together. Everyone felt that they had entered a world where everything became white as

soon as they stepped into the Mirage. Even with their cultivation, they could only see things within 10 yards. Not only that, their divine consciousness were also restricted.

“Keep your divine consciousness on you! The most terrifying thing about the Mirage is its ability to erode one’s divine consciousness. You’ll only see a bunch of illusions if your divine consciousness is scattered in the Mirage, and this will accelerate the erosion even more,” reminded Cultivator

Zuosi.

“You seem to be very knowledgeable about the Mirage, Cultivator Zuosi,” said Yang Jing.

“I did some homework on the ancient Mirage Dragon to better prepare myself,” said Cultivator Zuosi with a smile.

Yang Jing simply nodded at his reply and turned to look behind. They had not even walked five steps from where they entered but the road behind them was already gone. They had a hunch that if they went back to look for the entrance, they would never get out of the Mirage.

“Once in the Mirage, the direction will be reversed and it’ll be difficult to distinguish left and right. You’ll feel as if you’re moving forward when you’re actually moving backward. It’s impossible to get out unless we kill the Mirage Dragon,” explained Cultivator Zuosi.

“and how do we find the Mirage Dragon?” asked Xiao Chengfeng.

Cultivator Zuosi sighed deeply, shook his head, and said, “The Mirage Dragon’s cunning and cautious by nature. We can only rely on luck and ability.”

“How long can a third-step Wisdom Elite last in the Mirage?” asked Yang Jing with a frown on his face.

“Ten hours.”

“That’s not long at all!” said Juling Shen with a shock.

This surprised them because Yun Baichang had mentioned that a first-step Wisdom Elite could last 10 hours, so a third-step Wisdom Elite should be able to last longer, right? However, after giving it more thought, they did not feel that surprised anymore. The Mirage Dragon was in a deep sleep before.

Now, it had awakened, so the power of the Mirage would naturally be much stronger.

They chatted a little more while proceeding forward cautiously, their speed slowed down by the Mirage. After a while, an ominous feeling struck their hearts and they all stopped in their tracks.

Roar! With a low roar, creatures appeared from the fog, one after another. All of them were demons that were controlled by the Mirage. At this moment, they had transformed back to their non-human forms. They surrounded the group and were slowly closing in on them.

“Gathering and ambushing, this doesn’t seem like something that can be done by someone who has lost their mind. It should be the Mirage Dragon manipulating them against us!” said Xiao Chengfeng gravely.

This meant that the Mirage Dragon had already noticed them.

Yang Jing observed the state of those demons. He then arched his brow and said, “Among these demons, there are also those that had absorbed the unknown gray mist, which means that… The Mirage Dragon can also control them!”

‘The demons did not wait for them to make a move. With a roar, they pounced on Yang Jing and the others. Although they were high in numbers, their power was not strong. They were easily defeated by Yang Jing and the others.

Everyone continued to walk in the Mirage and along the way, the attacks from the beings who were being manipulated by the Mirage came at them nonstop. Their power was getting stronger and stronger, too. Yang Jing and the others could not do anything about it since not a trace of the Mirage Dragon

could be found at all.

The situation seemed to get worse and worse with each passing second and six hours passed by in a blink of an eye. Their footsteps became slower and slower and there were signs of exhaustion on their faces. The longer they stayed, the more the Mirage eroded their divine consciousness, and this was on

top of spending effort and energy to suppress the Mirage.

“Cultivator Zuosi, what should we do? Do you know the way out of here?” asked Yang Jing.

The look in Cultivator Zuosi’s eyes suddenly became sinister as he said coldly, “Of course, and I’ll tell you as long as you hand over all your treasures!”

Without a word, the four others with Cultivator Zuosi moved in a flash, and before Yang Jing and the others knew it, they had surrounded them.

“What’s the meaning of this?” asked Juling Shen in a low voice.

One of them cackled and said, “Idiots! Can’t you tell? This is a robbery!”

“Even if we hand over the treasures, there’s no guarantee you’d be able to leave the Mirage, so what’s the point?” asked Yang Jing calmly.

“Hahaha! Do you think we’re as stupid as you? We’ve come prepared unlike you!” said Cultivator Zuosi. Then, he waved his hand.

A golden ancient bell appeared above his head and bursts of ringing followed, forming a sound wave that enveloped him.

“There are very few treasures that can be used against the Mirage, but my Soul-shocking Bell happens to be one of the rare few. It can protect my divine consciousness from being confused by the illusion, allowing me to stay in the mirage for five more hours!

“As for you all. I purposefully added two extra hours to the time limit so that we can kill you by surprise. In fact, a third-step Wisdom Elite can only last here for eight hours. Couple that with what you’ve endured here, you must all be standing on your last leg,” gloated Cultivator Zuosi. He was confident

that victory was his to take. After all, this was not the first time they had done this.

As a matter of fact, Yang Jing and the others were the fourth batch of people they had offered up to the Mirage. He had gotten a lot of treasures by doing this, for even a third-step Wisdom Elite could do nothing but hand over their treasures if they wanted to get out of the Mirage. That was why he was a

little disappointed that Cultivator Junjun and the others did not enter with Yang Jing,

“So, you’ve been keeping guard outside the Mirage to see who would be foolish enough to fall for your trap?” Xiao Chengfeng slowly put his hand on the hilt of his sword. He shook his head and said coldly, “I must say, you’re even more devious than those who absorbed the unknown gray mist. What kind

of twisted mind does one need to have to use the Mirage Dragon as a tool for robbery!”

“Stop talking nonsense and quickly hand over your treasures. Don’t tell me you think you can win against us in your current state,” urged Cultivator Zuosi coldly.

It would be troublesome if those third-step Wisdom Elites manipulated by the Mirage Dragon were to show up now.

“Last question, how do you plan to get out of here?” asked Yang Jing.

Cultivator Zuosi did not mind revealing his secret. He smiled and said, “I have a treasure that’s strong enough to resist the interference of the Mirage. Although it isn’t powerful, it can lock in one direction.”

‘The Mirage would confuse one’s perception, causing people to stray froma straight path so that they would be going around in circles. Therefore, if they could lock down a direction and keep walking, they would be able to leave. It was these treasures that provided Cultivator Zuosi the conditions to use

the Mirage to rob others. The others might have called the place a dangerous spot, but to him, it was paradise.

“You think we came unprepared?” asked Yang Jing evenly.

Cultivator Zuosi frowned and asked doubtfully, “Isn’t that so?”

Yang Jing smiled, pointed at them, and said, “Why do we have to prepare when we have you?” Then, his voice turned cold as he said, “Don’t move. This is a robbery.”
