Not long ago, Zhong Bailing woke up in a daze.

Strange, why does this feeling of being knocked unconscious all of a sudden feel a bit familiar?

After she regained consciousness, she opened her eyes a crack and surveyed her surroundings.

This was a spacious courtyard.

It was brightly lit at the moment, and Bai Kaize and Wu Juncai were lying not far from her.

Not far away, a large group of various demons were kneeling on the ground.

In front of them, Shen Lin was sitting on a stone chair with his legs crossed, his face calm.

Scarface was standing beside him at the moment, cold sweat constantly dripping from his forehead.

When he brought Shen Lin to his gang's stronghold before, he was still drumming in his heart.

He struggled for a long time between playing tricks to report the news and obediently following Shen Lin's choice.

In the end, he still chose to follow Shen Lin.

Although he was knocked unconscious by Yin Jiwu's pressure in the arena before, he didn't see the subsequent scenes.

However, he could clearly see Shen Lin's performance of suppressing the Silver Mantis Clan's genius with one hand.

After that, he obediently brought Shen Lin back to the gang's base.

As expected, Shen Lin's performance did not disappoint him.

His sturdy boss, a well-known powerhouse in the underground world of Mirage Spirit City,

Was slapped into a pile of minced meat by Shen Lin.

After doing all this, Shen Lin naturally became the new boss of this gang.

The members of the Tiger Leopard Hall immediately knelt on the ground, submitting to this new boss.

This kind of thing had happened too many times, and they were already used to it.

"Tiger Leopard Hall... What a stupid name."

Shen Lin shook his head helplessly and waved his hand at the demons below.

"All of you, step back. Don't wander around in front of me, it's annoying to look at."

Damn it, how great would it be if so many demons were real.

But now, understanding that these are all illusions deduced by some existence, Shen Lin can only suppress the thought of slapping them all to death.

Receiving the order from the new boss, these demons followed suit, got up, and left directly.

Shen Lin looked at Scarface beside him with some doubt and said, "Why aren't you leaving yet?"

"Ah?"

Scarface was stunned for a moment and asked doubtfully, "Do I have to leave too?"

He thought that as a "founding hero," Shen Lin should discuss the future development of the Tiger Leopard Hall with him.

It's just that Shen Lin is not interested in expanding his power at all now.

Originally, he was thinking of taking over this so-called Tiger Leopard Hall.

To see if there were any spiritual herbs and miraculous medicines in their warehouse.

To try whether the spiritual herbs in the illusion could help him repair his Heavenly Demon body.

But he didn't expect that this Tiger Leopard Hall was a pauper.

Not to mention spiritual herbs, they didn't even have a few spirit crystals.

When he came, it happened to be when the gang members came to demand this month's salary.

Damn it, mixing in society and still expecting the boss to pay a salary.

Are these guys' brains full of bubbles?

Their so-called boss was also a waste.

He had so many people under him, but he only had a few hundred spirit crystals on him.

Thinking of this, Shen Lin's face was very ugly, and he glared at Scarface.

"What? Are you still thinking of me giving you a salary?"

"Uh, no, no. Then I'll go down first, senior."

Scarface still had the ability to read people's expressions, and immediately ran away in a puff of smoke.

He didn't want to become Shen Lin's punching bag.

After he left, only Shen Lin and the few members of the Demon Quelling Marquis were left in the spacious courtyard.

Shen Lin stood up, walked in front of them, and suddenly chuckled.

"Alright, you're all awake, so stop pretending to be asleep. What? With your strength, you still want to sneak attack me?"

Hearing this, Zhong Bailing helplessly opened her eyes and got up.

What the other party said was right.

With his strength of at least the Stellar Transformation Realm, even if she was at her peak, she wouldn't be his opponent.

Not to mention that she was physically weak now, even if she did sneak attack, she wouldn't be able to cause any damage to the other party.

She just didn't expect that at the same time Zhong Bailing got up, Bai Kaize and Wu Juncai also got up.

The three of them looked at each other awkwardly, and finally Bai Kaize spoke up and asked:

"Senior, although you brought us out of the arena, we will not become your slaves, you still..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Shen Lin directly waved his hand to interrupt him.

"Stop talking about those useless things. I'll just ask you, do you want to go back?"

Shen Lin's words made Bai Kaize's pupils shrink slightly, and a trace of horror appeared on his face.

Could this guy have seen through the origins of his group?

At this time, Zhong Bailing's words made Bai Kaize regain his senses.

"You also came in from the outside world?"

Seeing Shen Lin nod, Bai Kaize suddenly understood.

So this person, like his group, came here inexplicably.

Had the other party also been in the swamp before?

Could it be that everyone in the entire swamp had been teleported to this place?

Thinking of this, Bai Kaize immediately shook his head to deny this guess.

Because there were countless demons and beasts in the swamp.

Among them, there were also quite a few human martial artists exploring.

If everyone in the swamp had been teleported in, then there wouldn't have been only a few human beings in the arena before.

Even the senior from Hundred Refinements Valley who was next to them before they fainted had disappeared without a trace.

What exactly happened?

The more Bai Kaize thought about it, the more irritable he became.

At this time, Shen Lin smiled and said, "Although you few are weak, you have complete human classics, so you must know something about this place, right?"

At this moment, Shen Lin couldn't reveal his true identity in front of them, so he could only discuss with them in the tone of a demon.

Before Bai Kaize could speak, Zhong Bailing seemed to have understood something and directly said, "You want to cooperate with us? To find a way to go back?"

The human and demon races were irreconcilable, but in the current strange situation, those hatreds could only be put aside for the time being.

Seeing Shen Lin nod, she exchanged a look with Bai Kaize, and after obtaining his permission, she said, "This should be the Mirage Spirit Kingdom, one of the four great demon kingdoms in ancient times. According to records, it should have been destroyed long ago, but now..."

"I suspect that we have come to a secret realm, and the remnants of the original Mirage Spirit Kingdom are still preserved here..."

Before Zhong Bailing could finish speaking, Shen Lin shook his head and said, "Your guess is wrong. This is the Mirage Spirit City of that time!"

Hearing these words, Zhong Bailing and the others were instantly stunned.

"You mean, we have traveled through time and space and come to ancient times????"

Zhong Bailing asked incredulously, then quickly shook her head and said, "Impossible, my ancestors said that the Dao of Time is infinitely mysterious, and even those who reach the Dharma Idol Realm cannot comprehend it."

Shen Lin sighed and said, "What I mean is that we are now in the Mirage Spirit City of that time."

"But this Mirage Spirit City is not real, but a kind of illusion."

"It's an illusion deduced by some existence."

After listening to his guess, Zhong Bailing widened her eyes and said incredulously, "But the reactions of those demons before... Is this kind of illusion really possible?"

"It's possible!"

Bai Kaize, who was on the side, suddenly seemed to have thought of something and said with a serious face, "I saw some information from the East Sea in the Demon Quelling Division before."

"There is a demon beast in the East Sea called the Mirage Beast, and its innate ability is to evolve lifelike illusions."

"The larger the Mirage Beast, the stronger its strength, the more powerful the illusion it can create. From a small village to a large town."

Wu Juncai muttered to himself, "But this is a demon kingdom..."

"How big would a Mirage Beast have to be to create such a large illusion?"

Everyone fell silent.

They couldn't imagine what kind of existence could do this.

Only Shen Lin suddenly remembered the clues of the thick fog he had observed when he first entered the swamp.

Those were all demonic auras naturally exuding from the demon beasts.

Could it be that the so-called Southern Swamp is actually on a giant Mirage Beast?

Putting this terrifying thought aside for now, Shen Lin looked at Bai Kaize.

"Since you know the origin of this Mirage Beast, do you know how to leave the illusion?"

Bai Kaize didn't answer immediately, but frowned and pondered.

The information about the Mirage Beast was also something he had accidentally seen in the General Division of the Demon Quelling Division a long time ago.

At that time, the information recorded that a Demon Quelling Marquis team was lost in the illusion of the Mirage Beast and spent nearly a year to successfully escape.

How did they leave?

Bai Kaize racked his brains, and after thinking for a long time, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"I remember."

"The file recorded that the Demon Quelling Marquis team stayed in the environment for almost a year and almost went crazy. The team members accused each other and even fought each other."

"During the battle, they accidentally injured many creatures in the environment. After a fisherman's child was killed, the illusion was lifted."

"When they reviewed it later, they realized that the illusion of this Mirage Beast was not a rootless tree or a sourceless water."

"The illusion created by the Mirage Beast must be based on the memory of a certain creature. As long as you eliminate this creature in the illusion, you can break the illusion."

Hearing this, Shen Lin's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said, "That is to say, as long as we find that specific creature in this Mirage Spirit City and kill it, we can leave?"

Bai Kaize nodded, with a hint of joy on his face.

However, Zhong Bailing on the side poured a bucket of cold water on the two of them at this moment.

"But there are so many demons in this place, how can we find that specific existence?"

"Moreover, there are many strong individuals among these demons!"

If this were just an ordinary small town, with Shen Lin's strength, he could completely kill all the demons within.

However, this is Mirage Spirit City.

One of the Four Great Demon Kingdoms in ancient times.

There are countless strong individuals, and even ordinary demons probably number in the tens of millions...

Wait!

Shen Lin suddenly seemed to think of something, and abruptly turned his head to look at Bai Kaize.

"You said that the illusion is based on someone's memory?"

Bai Kaize nodded and said, "Yes, all the scenes and characters in the illusion are based on..."

Halfway through his sentence, Bai Kaize suddenly shivered, and his voice involuntarily lowered.

"...constructed from the memories of that specific living being..."

Suddenly, the few of them exchanged glances and slowly turned their heads.

They all looked towards the giant tower in the very center of the city, which soared into the clouds.

The incomparably complete Mirage Spirit City, with tens of millions of Mirage Spirit City residents, all possess their own unique personalities.

This indicates that the being who serves as the foundation of the illusion is extremely familiar with Mirage Spirit City.

Even all the residents here are thoroughly understood by him.

Only in this way can the characters in the illusion act according to their own personalities.

But who in this Mirage Spirit City would have such a thorough understanding of the entire Mirage Spirit City?

Wu Juncai's face was unsightly, and he said softly: "Didn't they say that the Mirage Dragon Demon Emperor had already died?"

No one responded.

At this moment, the few members of the Demon Quelling Marquis felt a deep sense of despair.

If the illusion here is based on the Mirage Dragon Demon Emperor, then they probably won't be able to escape in this lifetime.

After all, that is a Demon Emperor in the Dharma Aspect Realm.

Shen Lin bit his lip and said in a deep voice: "Don't think too much, maybe it's not the Mirage Dragon Demon Emperor, but one of the so-called Four Deputy City Lords?"

Zhong Bailing was a little speechless and sighed: "But the Four Deputy City Lords are all existences at the peak of the Primordial Chaos Realm."

Even if the Deputy Commander of their Demon Suppression Division came, he probably wouldn't have the certainty to kill a demon at the peak of the Primordial Chaos Realm.

If it was the Demon Quelling Marquis Squad A that came this time, then there might still be a chance.

The peak of the Primordial Chaos Realm is indeed a bit troublesome...

Shen Lin pondered for a moment, turned his head to look at Bai Kaize and asked:

"In this illusion, do items like spiritual herbs have any effect?"

If they are effective, he can first repair and perfect his Heavenly Demon Body.

When he returns to his peak state, he can also try to fight against the so-called Deputy City Lord.

Bai Kaize recalled for a moment and said uncertainly: "In the previous intelligence, it was recorded that the Demon Quelling Marquis Squad found some precious spiritual herbs in the illusion. After consuming them, they also had an effect."

"It seems that because the Mirage Beast's illusion power is strong, by chance, it can create some items from its memories out of thin air."

"Sometimes, a rare treasure called Mirage Pearl is even born within the Mirage Beast's body, condensing the Mirage Beast's life essence, which is very precious to both martial artists and demons."

The ability to turn illusion into reality?

Shen Lin was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face.

Shen Lin also coveted the so-called Mirage Pearl.

But compared to that, Shen Lin was more concerned about the ability to turn illusion into reality that Bai Kaize mentioned.

If that's the case, then he should start searching for the spiritual herbs in this Mirage Spirit City.

Maybe he can come across a few that actually exist?

Seeing that he seemed to have an idea, Bai Kaize cautiously opened his mouth.

"Are you thinking of..."

But just then, Shen Lin suddenly frowned, abruptly turned his head, and looked towards the sky on one side.

Bai Kaize and the others felt a tightness in their hearts and followed suit.

However, in the dark night, they didn't see anything.

Just as they were wondering, Shen Lin said softly: "You guys, find a place to hide and don't leave here. Without me by your side, the other demons will be detrimental to you."

After speaking, Shen Lin slowly floated into the air.

"You didn't make a move in the arena before, and now you've remembered to look for me?"

As his words fell, the night ahead twisted slightly.

Yin Jiwu appeared with a gloomy expression.

How did this guy find me?

The Silver Mantis Clan's stealth secret technique can perfectly blend into the environment, and even strong individuals of the same level cannot detect it.

But he actually...

Could it be that this guy is at the Body Building Realm?
