#212 - Powerful Fantasy
Liang Jin's interest was piqued upon hearing this, never expecting the Star Demon Sea to have such a variety of unique methods.
However, the young man asked in confusion:
“Bewitching Illusions and Soul-Seizing Arts, aren't those Left Envoy Master's signature techniques?”
“Mi Qianmeng, who taught you these?”
Mi Qianmeng glared at him:
“Work more, talk less!”
“If you want to live, work harder!”
The young man shook his head helplessly and continued working.
Mi Qianmeng painted quickly and skillfully.
She quickly completed the twisting lines and patterns all over the wall.
After that, she began painting on the surrounding pillars and walls as well.
Liang Jin did not heed Mi Qianmeng's advice, but stood in front of the stone wall, staring at the strange, twisted patterns.
At first glance, the patterns seemed chaotic and meaningless.
But after Liang Jin looked at them for a while, he gradually discovered something peculiar.
These patterns seemed to… move!
Although the wriggling was very subtle, they did seem to be twisting slightly.
Almost imperceptible.
This made Liang Jin stare intently, wanting to see if he was mistaken.
However, this close look caused a problem.
The patterns painted with blood on the wall seemed to spread across the wall, quickly covering the entire surface.
In the end, the wall was completely scarlet, as if it had been brushed with blood.
Not only was the wall turning red!
The entire slave market was also turning red!
Even… the whole world seemed to turn blood red!
Red in a bizarre way!
Just as Liang Jin was feeling puzzled.
Suddenly, he felt the forehead area of the [Serpent Mask] on his face move slightly.
The Fiery Eyes activated automatically!
The next moment.
Liang Jin's vision instantly cleared.
The red color in the world had completely disappeared.
And the strange symbols on the stone wall had all returned to normal, with no trace of the twisting and spreading just now.
“Was I… trapped in an illusion just now?”
Liang Jin was shocked.
“This Bewitching Illusion is really powerful!”
Liang Jin had only stared at it for less than a quarter of an hour, and he had already been affected.
This made him sigh in his heart.
Even with the system, he could not underestimate the wisdom of the world's strange and talented people.
At this time.
Mi Qianmeng exclaimed:
“Hey you!”
“I told you not to look! Especially not to look directly at it! Why didn't you listen?”
While exclaiming, Mi Qianmeng rushed to Liang Jin's side.
She thought Liang Jin had already been affected, and hurriedly took out a few silver needles.
With a flick of her jade hand, the silver needles turned into a few cold glints and flew towards several acupoints around Liang Jin's body.
She was trying to help Liang Jin break the illusion.
The next second.
Liang Jin waved his hand and caught all the flying silver needles in his palm:
“I'm fine.”
He glanced at the silver needles in his palm, they were just ordinary silver needles.
At the same time, Liang Jin had already memorized the acupoints that these silver needles attacked, which was equivalent to having a way to escape.
Mi Qianmeng was stunned:
“You looked at it, and you're actually okay?”
“Did I make a mistake somewhere?”
Mi Qianmeng said, and hurriedly looked up to check the Bewitching Illusion on the wall again.
But after checking, there was no problem.
This made Mi Qianmeng even more puzzled, and she couldn't understand whether Liang Jin had actually seen it or not.
Liang Jin asked:
“If I copy this picture and use it somewhere else, will it work?”
Mi Qianmeng replied:
“How is that possible? Do you really think this Bewitching Illusion can be drawn casually?”
“It needs to consider many factors such as the size of the scene, distance, angle, light, the level of the painting area, and so on.”
“If any of these factors change, the drawing also needs to be adjusted, and sometimes some props need to be used in coordination.”
“In short, a fool will never learn this skill, even with hard work and practice, there is no way.”
“Only a smart brain like mine can master the real essentials.”
Liang Jin understood upon hearing this.
He felt that this thing was a bit like a kind of advanced hypnotism.
Using patterns, lines, etc. to hypnotize.
Even if you don't deliberately look at these patterns, as long as you are in this environment, you will be more or less subject to psychological suggestion.
This kind of technology requires a lot of calculations in a short period of time, and it does require enough professional people to master it.
At this time.
A voice was heard outside the market:
“Listen, you thieves inside!”
“You are surrounded!”
“If you want to live, put down your weapons, seal your acupoints, and come out and surrender.”
“Otherwise, you will be killed without mercy!”
… … … …
Outside the market.
Three groups of people had surrounded the market.
Each of them held sharp blades and their eyes were fierce.
“Our sect's important disciples were attacked last night, I didn't expect these murderers to dare to appear tonight!”
“I want to see how many heads they have!”
The speaker was a beautiful woman in white clothes and a white skirt.
Her face was frosty and her aura was cold.
It was the Ice Palace Mistress of the Great Snow Mountain Sect, Lü Yingrong.
“Amitabha!”
“Tonight, my sect's disciples were also attacked by this group of people, and this poor monk will definitely seek justice today.”
A middle-aged monk stood up.
Even in the deep night of this desert, the monk was still half-naked, his dark skin tattooed with a ferocious beast.
He was none other than Sudi, the Protector Venerable of the Immeasurable Bright King Sect.
“I always feel something is strange.”
“Tonight, this group of masked guys appeared all over the city, but they only attacked two disciples of your esteemed sect.”
“But the masked men here attacked the slave market, which is more like the work of the guys from last night.”
The speaker was a man with curly hair, a high nose, and deep eyes.
He was Ailijiang, a general of the Flowing Sand City Lord's Mansion.
His words made both Lü Yingrong and Sudi frown slightly.

Tonight in Flowing Sand City, disciples from both of their sects were attacked by masked men in various locations.
Those murderers were extremely slippery, attacking and running away, leaving no chance for anyone to catch them.
It is said that even the Star Demon Sea suffered casualties.
But the masked men in this place were very slow in their attacks, dragging on for a long time.
This gave everyone a chance to surround this place.
Lü Yingrong said in a deep voice:
“No matter what is strange, just kill all these masked people when you encounter them.”
Sudi put his hands together:
“This is exactly what this humble monk intends.”
Ailijiang had no objection to this.
Now that the city lord is away, he is in charge of the entire Flowing Sand City.
But with people from the three major sects present, how dare he make decisions?
After last night's incident, the major slave owners in the city all approached Ailijiang, hoping he could take action.
But Ailijiang waited until the people from the Great Snow Mountain Sect and the Immeasurable Bright King Sect were also attacked by masked men before he quickly contacted the two sects and came together to deal with the masked men.
“By the way, why are the people from the Star Demon Sea not here?”
Ailijiang looked around and asked in confusion.
It is said that the disciples of the Star Demon Sea were also attacked by masked men, but they were nowhere to be seen seeking revenge.
Lü Yingrong said in a deep voice:
“My sect is here, how dare those demonic cultists show their faces?”
Ailijiang coughed dryly twice.
He naturally knew that the Star Demon Sea and the Great Snow Mountain Sect had already fought a battle during the day, with heavy casualties on both sides.
At this time, it was in his best interest for both sides to avoid each other.
So he didn't ask any more questions, but pointed to the slave market in front of him:
“City Lord's Guards, listen up!”
“Charge in immediately!”
“Kill anyone wearing a mask, covering their face, or resisting, without exception!”
Ailijiang knew that he couldn't afford to offend the three major sects, so he simply let his own people take the lead, so as to curry favor with the three major sects.
Although the Star Demon Sea was not present among the three major sects, there were still two sects present after all.
As Ailijiang's order was issued, a team of heavily armored soldiers stood out.
As the City Lord's Guards, these were the most elite warriors in Flowing Sand City.
At this moment, they would test the waters for the experts present.
After all, the masked men from last night were skilled in martial arts, and even a fifth-rank disciple of the Great Snow Mountain Sect was killed.
Now, using these warriors to test the waters would also make it easier for the three experts to figure out the enemy's methods.
After receiving the order, the soldiers immediately rushed into the market.
“Bang!”
The two leading soldiers kicked open the door and were about to rush in first.
But the next second.
“Boom!!!”
An explosion erupted above the heads of the two soldiers.
Black liquid splattered, covering their bodies, and even some soldiers behind them were stained.
At the same time, the flames produced by the explosion.
The black liquid was quickly ignited, and the soldiers were immediately engulfed in raging fire.
They screamed and struggled in the raging fire.
The surrounding companions hurriedly tried to put out the fire for them.
But strangely, the flames on their bodies were extremely difficult to extinguish, and the temperature produced by the burning was extremely high.
The soldiers engulfed in flames quickly fell silent.
Lü Yingrong and Sudi's eyes narrowed when they saw this scene:
“This method…”
They looked at each other, and surprise flashed in their eyes.
The two naturally saw that this method was very similar to the Star Demon Sea's Thunderbolt Fire Bombs.
However, they could not be completely sure.
Thunderbolt Fire Bombs can also be bought on the black market, and it cannot be determined that they are disciples of the Star Demon Sea.
On the other side.
Seeing the raging fire at the gate, the soldiers quickly changed their direction of attack.
They tried to break in through the door or attack from the back door.
But who would have thought that these places were also full of traps.
Some soldiers had just opened the window when two hidden arrows shot at them.
Some soldiers had just rushed into the back room, accidentally tripped over a wire, and a puff of mist immediately sprayed out.
Some soldiers even risked rushing inside, but who would have thought that as soon as his foot stepped on a corpse, a hook would immediately pop out from under the corpse and pierce his thigh.
In addition to this, there were various other traps.
Things like animal traps and caltrops emerged one after another.
These traps naturally caused a large number of casualties to the soldiers.
But that was all.
The City Lord's Guards were extremely fierce, and even in the face of severe casualties, they did not flinch.
This led to the rapid depletion of these tools and mechanisms of the Star Demon Sea disciples.
After all, a mere disciple could not carry too many tools on his body.
The remaining soldiers had already rushed into the hall.
And what first caught their eyes was a large expanse of crimson, bizarre, and distorted paintings…
