Chapter 3011 Illusion!

Ma Songqi tried to struggle in a panic, but couldn't move. He could only ask in a flustered manner,

"Listen carefully, what does this mean? Why are you doing this to me?"

The others remained silent. Wang Yue was somewhat suspicious, because ordinary people or monsters who were controlled were unable to move, and even their minds were controlled.

However, Ma Songqi was still able to speak, which showed that his demonic power was still quite strong. So Wang Yue calmly asked, "I want to know the whereabouts of Duan Yinghuan and Prince Xin'an. If you want to stay here for a long time, you should know everything about the strangers who come."

Therefore, I hope you will tell me the truth, so that I won't kill you for no reason.

Upon hearing this, Ma Songqi was immediately thrown into disarray. Before he could answer the question, he was taken into custody.

Fortunately, being in a daze at this time made it easier to find out what was going on, and he soon heard some strange things from Ma Songqi.

Take, for example, Pelican Study and Little Paradise!

Because many missing people are connected to these two places, Ma Songqi, being a minor demon, dared not inquire about these things.

After finding his target, Wang Yue calmly said to Sima Lingying,
"Miss Sima, with your family's power, you might not be able to clean up the entire underground city, but arresting the people in charge of these two places shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Seeing Wang Yue's words, Sima Lingying understood that it was her turn to lend a hand, and she said with a smile,

"No problem, I'll arrange for someone to invite Lord Geng right away. I think it shouldn't be a problem to transfer all the constables in Guangping City."

She was a woman of action; they waited in place for an hour, and all 100-plus constables of Guangping City had assembled.

With these constables leading the way, Shen Tunan, the leader of Xiaodongtian, and Lü Chunmian, the steward, were found.

Lu Chunmian certainly wouldn't allow his master to be the first to bow his head, so he immediately asked ingratiatingly,
"Sir, we don't know what happened. Our Little Cave Heaven has always been doing business peacefully in this underground city."

Magistrate Shi of Guangping County smiled and said, "We won't make things difficult for you. It's just that some important people are in a hurry to find two people. If you just tell us their locations, I can put in a good word for you."

You'd better be sensible. After all, even my master can't withstand the wrath of these important figures. You'd better be sensible.

Upon hearing this, Lü Chunmian turned to look at Shen Tunan. After receiving his consent, he smiled and said, "You can go to Tihu Study. Many people who have gone missing have gone through their place before their accidents happened!"
The master there, Shaman, was a sand demon. He used some unknown method, and very few people who went to his study ever came out alive.

After hearing this, Lord Shi turned to look at Sima Lingying and said,
"How about we go take a look at Tihu Study?"

Sima Lingying did not refuse, but she did not release them. "You send someone to watch them. We'll go to the study. If they dare to escape, then issue a warrant for their arrest."

Lord Shi immediately nodded, leaving a dozen or so constables to watch over the two, and then led the rest of the men to the Tihu Study.

The study is not very large, so it doesn't actually need so many people to surround it. Just about 10 people are enough to fill the entire study.

When Sha Man, the owner of the bookstore, saw so many people rushing over, he immediately greeted them with a smile.
"My lords, what is going on? My study is fully equipped with all the documents!"

As the head constable, Chu Youhuang didn't wait for Lord Shi to speak this time. He stepped forward, grabbed Sha Man, and said...
"You are involved in several missing persons cases, please come to us."

After Chu Youhuang finished speaking, she grabbed Sha Man and dragged him directly outside.

"Misunderstanding!"

Shaman panicked when he heard this. If he left, who would look at the blueprints outside?
He immediately said anxiously, "Don't misunderstand! I'm just doing business honestly and uprightly. Besides, this house is so small, you can search it if you don't believe me."

Chu Youhuang was also a kind person, and he would never do anything to bully the weak, so he hesitated when Sha Man asked him to search.

Wang Yue could tell what Chu Youhuang was worried about, but he smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll go in and search. Miss Duan will keep watch over me. What do you think?"

No one else had any objections, especially Miss Situ, who simply stood with Chu Youhuang and showed no intention of going in.

The Mirror Demon understood Wang Yue's thoughts, and she pulled Tingzhou to stand aside as well, while simultaneously preparing to provide assistance.

Even Shaman didn't refuse, but only whispered a reminder.

"Please be careful, gentlemen, and don't damage my paintings and calligraphy. These have all been reserved for others, and I can't afford to pay for even one piece if I damage it."

Wang Yue, however, felt that something was amiss. At this point, why was Tu Bo Ang being reminded to come over? He thought about this strange world, where even the Mirror Demon had appeared, so it was quite normal for another monster from the Painted Wall to appear as well.

The so-called "painted mural" is of course impossible; it's just a painting on the wall, even if it's ordinary.

Therefore, as soon as Wang Yue entered the inner room, he was immediately attracted by a painting of spring scenery in Guangping displayed inside!

Seeing Wang Yue staring at the picture, Sha Man immediately said anxiously,

"This painting was just finished not long ago, and I was just about to frame it. Please, sir, don't ruin it."

Seeing that Sha Man was so nervous about the painting, Wang Yue simply grabbed it and prepared to tear it apart.

Just as Wang Yue grabbed the painting, a vortex suddenly appeared in the picture, and his hand went straight into it.

At the same time, there was a powerful suction force in the scene, trying to pull Wang Yue directly in.

Wang Yue was unwilling to be absorbed into just a painting, so he immediately used his teleportation talisman.

The instant the teleportation talisman was activated, Wang Yue's figure disappeared from in front of the painting and reappeared beside Dudu.

Although Wang Yue escaped unscathed, the immense suction force did not spare those around him.

Moreover, the suction force of the scrolls wasn't limited to the one Wang Yue had encountered earlier; it was the same for all the other scrolls as well.

The yamen runners who followed were caught off guard and were pulled directly into the painting.

Only Duan Banxia, ​​who was standing on the outer edge and in the very center, managed to escape this calamity.

Duan Banxia was actually being pulled by two scrolls at the same time, which allowed her to enter immediately.

Seeing this, Wang Yue didn't have time to use the Instantaneous Movement Talisman. Instead, he quickly threw out two Fire Talismans, which flew towards the two paintings respectively.

At the same time, Wang Yue lunged forward and grabbed Duan Banxia, ​​causing her to fall to the ground.

Just then, two fire talismans landed on the two paintings respectively, and the entire painting burst into flames.

"No~!"

Sha Man never expected that Wang Yue would set fire in front of so many people. If he burned down his shop, Wang Yue would definitely be arrested and imprisoned.

This is why he allowed others to search the place so recklessly before; he was certain that others wouldn't dare to damage it, and thus it wouldn't be exposed.

But now Wang Yue is recklessly burning the paintings and calligraphy, and might even burn down the entire study. Wouldn't the secrets he's keeping just vanish into thin air?

Suddenly, Shaman swung the book inside him, and the pages on it flew out quickly.

Most of the paper, once thrown out, instantly transformed into swords and knives, hurtling towards Wang Yue, Duan Banxia, ​​and those around them.

Some of the paper had even had the original paper cut off from the drawing and replaced with new paper.

Fortunately, when Wang Yue grabbed Duan Banxia, ​​he immediately used the Instantaneous Movement Talisman and was already outside again. Otherwise, all those flying swords and blades would have killed him!
Wang Yue dodged quickly, but the constables who hadn't yet been sucked into the paper were unlucky; they were stabbed straight through by the swords.

Chu Youhuang almost instinctively shielded Sima Lingying, urging him to step back, while he himself stood in front. Sima Lingying, however, didn't seem to consider the danger, and instead smiled, saying...

"You two-faced bastard, you say you don't care about me, but aren't you quite nervous?"

Chu Youhuang's face darkened upon hearing this. He said coldly, "You should step back quickly. This monster might be the controller of the paper doll we encountered earlier! His flying knives and swords are far too dangerous."

Although Sima Lingying asked the question she wanted to ask, she was not an ordinary woman. Sometimes, children are very obedient and step back.

In fact, their delay was only a few breaths. At this moment, Sha Man saw Wang Yue move to a new location with Duan Banxia, ​​and he immediately changed direction as well.

Seeing that Sha Man's attacks were relentless, Wang Yue knew that even if Du Du made a move, she would lose a lot of her demonic power. Moreover, in this unfamiliar place, Du Du was his last trump card, and he was unwilling to reveal it at this moment.

So, Wang Yue, being unreasonable, threw out several more fire talismans and lit them around the five fingers.

Sha Man hadn't expected Wang Yue to be so ruthless; if he couldn't beat him, he was going to burn the house down. He could only rush to stop the flames.

Unfortunately, Wang Yue not only set fire to the inside of the house, but also outside, making it quite troublesome for Sha Man to put it out.

Wang Yue wasn't just standing by and watching. Seeing that Sha Man was recklessly trying to put out the fire, he put a fire talisman on his sword again, drew his sword, and approached Sha Man.

Sha Man saw the fire sword in Wang Yue's hand and, worried that he had received other items, immediately threw out a large number of swords and knives from the booklet, trying to block Wang Yue with a dense attack.

Wang Yue seized the opportunity to dodge the swords and blades with a teleportation talisman, and then slashed Sha Man's body in half with a single blow.

What's strange is that as soon as Wang Yue's attack ended, Sha Man's body, which had been broken into two pieces, reconnected and returned to its original state almost instantly.

However, when the two sections of his body returned to normal, a lot of sand grains were exposed, which immediately reminded Wang Yue of the Sand Demon in Fox Spirit Matchmaker!

Wang Yue knew that ordinary attacks wouldn't work against this kind of monster, so he took out several lightning talismans from his pocket and threw them at Sha Man!

Just as Sha Man's body had recovered and he was preparing to continue his attack, several bolts of lightning suddenly struck down, obliterating him completely and turning him into a pile of sand that lay sprawled on the ground.

Actually, this was because it was in an underground city. When the lightning talisman was used, the dark clouds that were formed were not visible at all. By the time the thunder was heard, the lightning had already struck.

That's why Shaman was unable to dodge and was killed instantly!
At the very moment Sha Man died, a white light surged into Wang Yue's body once again, causing his strength to break through once more, reaching the legendary Heavenly Rank Demon Catcher!

Previously, Wang Yue often needed talisman paper to draw talismans, but now he doesn't have to go through that trouble anymore.

Wang Yue then drew several storage talismans out of thin air. These talismans formed a huge array, shrinking all the scrolls in the room into a single talisman.

Wang Yue reached out and grabbed the wad of talismans, smiling as he spoke to Sima Lingying.
“Let’s go back to Guangping City first. I’m worried that the missing people and demons are all inside this painting, and the underground city is really not safe.”

Sima Lingying thought it made a lot of sense, so she agreed. She discussed it with Lord Shi and then led her people out of the underground city and back to the government office in Guangping City.

It was at this moment that Wang Yue took out the storage talisman again and released the scrolls.

Sima Lingying stared intently at the released scrolls, and asked somewhat uncertainly, "Daoist, the people in these scrolls seem to be able to move. If we destroy the scrolls, will the people inside die too?"

Wang Yue nodded and said solemnly, "That's quite possible, but you can't just go in to rescue people, can you? What if you go in and can't get out?"

Chu Youhuang frowned and said, "Then why don't I take a group of yamen runners in to take a look? If it's really no good, then you can destroy this painting."

Upon hearing this, the constables of Guangping City who were waiting around couldn't help but take a half step back; they didn't want to lose their lives here.

Wang Yue observed their actions, then smiled and shook his head, saying...

“Their lives matter too, why risk going in? I think it would be better to tear these paintings apart from some deserted spot, which shouldn’t cause the people inside to die.”

What do you think?

Sima Lingying thought it made a lot of sense. Although the matter of Prince Xin'an was very important, Chu Youhuang shouldn't be allowed to lose his life.

Duan Banxia did not refuse. She was kind-hearted and could not bring herself to ask someone else to risk their life to save her father's life.

So, with no one objecting, Wang Yue, in full view of everyone, vigorously tore apart one of the scrolls.

To Wang Yue's surprise, the scroll looked ordinary, but despite his best efforts, he couldn't tear it open.

Wang Yue was also provoked, so he simply drew a sharp blade talisman and pasted it on his sword, adding some sharpness to the sword.

After doing all this, Wang Yue infused his spiritual power and then slashed at the deserted spot on the painting with his sword!
As Wang Yue unleashed his sword strike, a gap was cleaved in the scroll, and a large amount of demonic energy immediately emanated in all directions.

The scroll seemed to be desperately trying to fill the gap, but the sword energy at the edge kept blocking it, making it impossible for the scroll to be restored.

As everyone watched this astonishing scene with rapt attention, a giant insect suddenly burst out of the scroll and swallowed Wang Yue whole.

If it were the old Wang Yue, he probably wouldn't have been able to block this attack. After all, the speed was too fast, and when the insect devoured, there was a huge suction force that made it impossible for Wang Yue to dodge.

Wang Yue had already broken through to the Heavenly Rank, so he calmly and quickly drew a lightning spell and struck the insect.

Wang Yue believed that no matter what kind of spirit or monster it was, it was powerless against lightning.

Indeed, that was the case. Although the spiritual power consumed by the lightning talisman drawn by Wang Yue was great, the power of the attack was also very strong. The insect was instantly weakened by the lightning strike.

Wang Yue judged that the insect could probably withstand a few more lightning talismans, so he drew another talisman without hesitation.

The giant worm knew the danger. Seeing that Wang Yue was about to use the thunder talisman again, it didn't hesitate to try to escape. But just as it was about to make a move, it found that its body seemed to have entered a strange space. No matter how hard it tried to dodge, it couldn't escape at all.

Wang Yue noticed the strange behavior of the giant insect and guessed that it was because his Dudu had helped him find a partner. He immediately sped up the casting of the talisman.

As bolts of lightning struck, the giant worm was quickly obliterated. Before it died, it let out a final, unwilling roar.
"So close! So close!"

Wang Yue roughly guessed that what the big bug meant by "just a little bit more" was probably that the inner world of this painting was just a little bit away from being completely perfected.

He didn't care what the insect was thinking. After the insect died, he reached for the ball of white energy once more.

After the white energy entered his body, Wang Yue's previously unstable early-stage Heavenly Rank cultivation level broke through once again.

Wang Yue was very happy; he felt like Li Xiaoyao leveling up in a game.

I have to say, this upgrade feels really good!

Dudu noticed that Wang Yue's cultivation had broken through twice in a row, and she was extremely envious. However, considering that she would be able to rely on a powerful figure in the future, she did not feel jealous.

She was somewhat puzzled by the fact that Duan Banxia, ​​who had been desperately saved by Wang Yue earlier, was still keeping a slight distance from him.

But there were some things that couldn't be said at the moment, so Dudu could only shift her attention to the painting and plan to ask about it later when she had time.

The tear in the scroll is getting bigger and bigger, and then you can see figures falling out of the gap.

"Dad~!"

Duan Banxia was already stunned and didn't know what to do. Now that she saw the big bug was dead, she turned her attention to the gap.

As a result, Duan Banxia saw the old man's bald head, and she couldn't help but rush over and hug Duan Yinghuan, saying...
"Father, what happened to you? Why are you dressed as a monk?"
