Yuanqi brutally injures Zhang Yi after he claims they have a shared enemy in Fang Yu. Yuanqi then implants a water poison into Zhang Yi, forcing him to obey. Zhang Yi is ordered to capture Fang Yu alive for Yuanqi, and he requests Yuanqi's Blue Star Consortium assist him, revealing he knows Yuanqi is from the Peacekeeping Council.

This made Yuanqi feel very pleased; he burst into loud laughter, nodded, and said, "You’re not stupid at all. Fine, I’ll notify those people to come over right away, join forces with you, and capture Fang Yu together."

Hearing Yuanqi’s words, Zhang Yi was overjoyed. "Thank you, my lord, thank you, my lord!"

"Like this!"

Yuanqi hesitated for a long while, but when he thought about how, if Fang Yu’s special ability could fall into his own hands, then that mere Ocean Scripture would no longer be that important.

He then took a page of the Ocean Scripture from his chest and handed it to Zhang Yi, saying, "This page of the Ocean Scripture is a Deep-Sea Fief. As long as it’s activated, it can drag Fang Yu into the deep sea and suppress him."

"Nanhui City is full of powerful experts, and the South Island military faction is present as well. If you drag this out too long, something may go wrong."

"Use this page of the Ocean Scripture, and Fang Yu will vanish without a trace!"

Hearing Yuanqi’s words, Zhang Yi was overjoyed. He carefully took the Ocean Scripture from Yuanqi’s hand, incomparably delighted inside.

...

Meanwhile, Fang Yu was at this very moment walking toward Essence Feast, and soon arrived in front of the Essence Feast Company building.

Seeing the grand building before him, Fang Yu said nothing and simply stepped toward the lobby.

"Sir, if you want to purchase resources, please line up!"

At this moment, two Transcendent security guards appeared once again in front of Fang Yu, speaking to him.

Fang Yu’s gaze fell on the two security guards in front of him, but his perception quietly spread out, vigilantly observing his surroundings.

Along the way, Fang Yu had become much more cautious; he no longer believed that a safe zone was truly safe.

However, those people had already failed in their attack yesterday; today, they probably wouldn’t launch another continuous assault on him. Fang Yu let his perception sweep everywhere, even entered the world-synchronization state to quietly observe, but still did not sense any accident happening.

After confirming that the surroundings were safe, Fang Yu nodded inwardly. He then took out a document from the military and showed it in front of the two security guards. "I’m acting under orders from the South Island military faction, here to discuss cooperation with your company."

Once bitten, twice shy. Yesterday he had been blocked outside by the security guards, so early this morning he naturally ordered his crew members to go to the military district and get an authorization document from the old master for him.

Only after obtaining the document did Fang Yu come to Essence Feast Company.

The two security guards were stunned and exchanged a glance.

This kid had used the same excuse yesterday, but before they could drive him out, the kid acted like he’d been hit by something, muttered to himself, and turned around to leave.

He came again today?

Still, out of caution, the two subconsciously took a look at the authorization document in Fang Yu’s hand.

When they saw the old master’s seal on it, they couldn’t help being shocked, and quickly examined it more carefully.

After a while, the two took a deep breath.

It was actually real?

The seal could be forged, but the aura on the seal could not. This document was actually real.

The two didn’t dare slack off and quickly spoke respectfully to Fang Yu. "So you really are a guest from the military district. We offended you yesterday, our apologies!"

"This way, sir, we’ll go notify the director to come out at once."

"Alright."

Fang Yu didn’t make things difficult for these two security guards; they were just taking money to work at the door, after all.

Under their guidance, Fang Yu stepped into the lobby ahead, and soon saw the decorations inside the hall.

What surprised Fang Yu was...

The decor and layout in the lobby were exactly the same as what he’d seen yesterday in that environment, so much so that Fang Yu almost thought he’d been dragged into an illusion again. Startled, he quickly entered the world-synchronization state.

But after entering the world-synchronization state, he still didn’t feel any abnormalities, which made him a bit puzzled inside.

So... yesterday’s illusion had actually reproduced every bit of this building’s layout one hundred percent?

They did it that perfectly? Every single detail was almost identical.

Fang Yu subconsciously glanced at the corner of the wall, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

Something’s off...

In the corner of the real Essence Feast lobby, there was actually an inconspicuous stain...

This was a stain he had casually noticed in the illusion yesterday. It wasn’t very eye-catching and looked like it had been made recently.

At the time, Fang Yu had even thought that the building’s cleaner might get their pay docked for missing that stain.

However, the discoloration on the illusion and the one within the actual building were identical.

This level of detail is… excessive, isn’t it?

Fang Yu knitted his brows.

If the Twelve Talents of the Illusory Forest had visited the Essence Feast Mansion previously and generated an illusion based on its structure, how could they possibly replicate such a minute detail?

Even the most meticulous individual wouldn’t necessarily reproduce a random stain with one hundred percent accuracy, would they?

It would only be feasible if this group had lingered within the Essence Feast lobby for an extended duration, painstakingly replicating it piece by piece and utilizing the Ocean Scripture to completely scan and imprint the entire lobby, thereby restoring it to such an extent.

A mere brief visit once would scarcely suffice to achieve this level of replication.

Could the Twelve Talents of the Illusory Forest have resided in the Essence Feast Mansion for a considerable period?

Perhaps…?

Fang Yu’s heart tightened. He subtly heightened his vigilance, yet revealed nothing. Maintaining a placid expression, he followed the two security guards further into the edifice.

As no concrete evidence existed and nothing was definitively proven, Fang Yu could not immediately reach a conclusion, despite his suspicions.

After all, the abilities of Transcendents vary greatly; it was entirely conceivable that one of the Twelve Talents of the Illusory Forest could conceal themselves in a location for a prolonged period and subsequently construct an illusion.
