Dormitory group chat, my information updated daily.

The Hanged Man's words instantly drew everyone's attention.

"What's going on? Explain in detail."

"Mr. Hanged Man, stop keeping us in suspense. It's so annoying to keep people in suspense."

Seeing this, Mr. Tower was speechless but helpless. He could only acquiesce to the fact that the gathering had begun and quietly wait for the Hanged Man to speak.

"Ahem, this information I have concerns a highly prestigious and secret location, it's extremely valuable, so..."

After the gray fog, the Hanged Man cast a playful smile.

Everyone was speechless, feeling as uncomfortable as if they had eaten shit.

It's like when a blockbuster movie is just reaching its climax, and the website tells you that you need to pay to watch the rest.

"That Hua Wuye is dishonest..."

"The information-sharing mechanism that I worked so hard to build is now going to have to be charged for because of your actions. How am I supposed to get things for free then?"

Xiao Yun sneered inwardly, showing no mercy to Hua Wuye, and let out a cold laugh:

"I can probably guess without you saying it; it's about... the Palace of Illusion, right?"

After the gray fog dissipated, Hua Wuye's expression changed drastically as he looked at Xiao Yun as if he had seen a ghost.

He had indeed just escaped from the Palace of Illusion and Reality, suffering heavy losses. He had originally planned to sell some information about the Palace of Illusion and Reality to recoup his losses, but Xiao Yun immediately saw through his plan.

"How...how did you know?!"

Xiao Yun said calmly:

"Alchemy is a discipline that explores the essence of the world, and theoretically it is omnipotent."

"Coincidentally, my alchemy skills are pretty good..."

Upon hearing Xiao Yun's profound words, everyone gasped in astonishment, becoming even more convinced of Xiao Yun's identity as a "low-key alchemy master."

"The Palace of Illusion and Reality? Mr. Death, could you elaborate?"

The moon looked over, its words filled with longing.

Xiao Yun did not answer, but only gave the Hanged Man a cold glance.

An invisible force, like a mountain, poured down, causing the upside-down Hua Wuye to tremble and raise his hands in surrender.

"I'm sorry, I was too greedy. I'll explain now. If there's anything I've missed, please have Mr. Death add it."

Everyone smiled, and Xiao Yun nodded slightly, shifting his gaze, his invisible aura instantly disappearing.

The upside-down man breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his brow, and muttered:

"Who exactly is this guy? Why is he putting so much pressure on me? He's almost as much as our guild leader."

"And in his presence, I always feel like he sees right through me... Could he be someone I know? No, none of the alchemists I know fit the characteristics of the Grim Reaper."

The Hanged Man was full of questions, but his CPU was about to overheat and he still couldn't figure it out, so he simply gave up.

"The Palace of Illusion and Reality is hidden in the mist, existing between illusion and reality. It is said to be the territory of a wild monster that surpasses the level of a king."

"In the Palace of Illusion and Reality, reality and illusion intertwine, and one wrong step can lead to certain death. What's even stranger is that even if a group of people enter at the same time and see the same scene, they may not necessarily be in the same space. And this is only part of the rules of the Palace of Illusion and Reality; much more remains unknown..."

"The first time I entered, it was all by luck. This was my second time entering—I won't go into the details, but I managed to get a location by relying on the backup plan left by our guild leader last time, which also consumed a huge amount of resources."

When talking about "beyond the King level" and "massive quantity", the Hanged Man's voice became somewhat heavy.

As everyone listened to the Hanged Man's account, they couldn't help but gasp in horror.

It's only the beginning of winter, and most people haven't even seen a King-level monster yet. This Hanged Man has already faced off against a boss that surpasses the King level?

"The Hanged Man's strength seems to be only at the normal eighth rank, which means that the guild behind him is ridiculously powerful..."

The crowd stared at the upside-down man, their eyes flashing with complex emotions.

Xiao Yun, who knew the background of the Hanged Man, gleaned even more information from the conversation.

"Therefore, the 'virtual storm' weather forecast predicted by the system is also related to Hua Wuye and his group's actions."

"However, what is the purpose of the Wuyouxiang Guild Master's sudden entry into the Palace of Illusion and Reality? Is he going to hunt down the King of Illusion and Reality and the King of Wind?"

"No way! The Illusionary Reality and the Wind King are at least at the sixth rank. As a Dragon King, he's no match for an ordinary sixth-rank opponent. Could it be that the Guild Master of Wuyou Village has become that powerful?"

Xiao Yun was filled with doubts, but in order to maintain his persona, he could only pretend that "I know everything" and dared not speak.

Just then, Miss Moon, sitting at the head of the table, asked in confusion:

"Mr. Hanged Man, if I may ask, have you achieved your goal by entering the Palace of Reality and Illusion?"

"Great assist!"

Xiao Yun mentally gave Yue Liang a thumbs up and looked at Hua Wuye.

However, when this topic came up, Hua Wuye's mood visibly dropped.

"No, and... our people are trapped in the Palace of Illusion and can't get out. I barely managed to escape because I had entered it once and exhausted everyone's resources."

Xiao Yun nodded slightly and breathed a sigh of relief.

"I was terrified. If Worry-Free Land really succeeded in hunting down the King of Illusion and the King of Wind, what's the point of me playing anymore? I might as well surrender with Ideal Country."

On the other side, the Hanged Man continued:

"Therefore, I have come here today to ask for your help. If you can provide a way to escape the Palace of Illusion and Reality, I am willing to pay any price."

On the other side, the Hanged Man continued:

"Therefore, I have come here today to ask for your help. If you can provide a way to escape the Palace of Illusion and Reality, I am willing to pay any price."

As he spoke, he looked around at everyone, his gaze lingering longest on Mr. Ta and Xiao Yun.

The others nodded slightly and looked at the two of them.

They had never even heard of the Palace of Illusion and Reality. Among everyone present, only Mr. Tower, who controls the Gray Mist and the White Tower, and the mysterious bigwig Death God might have a solution.

However, Xiao Yun, who was the first to mention the Palace of Illusion and Reality, lowered his head and remained silent.

"Mr. Death, is there no way to help...?"

Moon and the others sighed softly and looked towards the head of the table.

Once again in the spotlight, Mr. Ta couldn't help but smile, glancing at the silent Xiao Yun, feeling quite triumphant.

He admitted that this Grim Reaper was very powerful, truly brilliant, and if given enough time to develop, he might actually be able to understand the essence of the world and know everything through alchemy.

However, that was only the starting point.

"When it really matters, you'll have to rely on me..."

Mr. Tower maintained his dignified demeanor as he looked at the Hanged Man, Hua Wuye:

"Saving others is also the White Tower's duty, but the information about the Palace of Illusion and Reality is indeed of great importance. It is core information even within the White Tower, and I need to search for it."

Upon hearing this, Hua Wuye, the Hanged Man, brightened up and quickly stood up. Mr. Chongta bowed deeply.

"Then I'll leave it to Mr. Ta. A generous reward will be given upon completion!"

"No problem."

Mr. Ta smiled and slowly lowered his head.

Behind him, the white tower roared, and its bright light instantly illuminated the entire gray fog.

The audience was amazed and full of wonder.

After a moment, the white tower slowly came to a stop, and Mr. Tower raised his head.

"Found it so quickly?"

"Ahem, there was a little accident."

Mr. Tower looked somewhat embarrassed and even avoided eye contact with the Hanged Man.

"Because the White Tower hasn't fully recovered, we've only found partial information about the Palace of Illusion and Reality. The information about how to escape is still blocked and can't be retrieved. But it's only temporary. It will be fine after the next mysterious revival—which is what you call the night of the full moon..."

After hearing his words, everyone was stunned.

Hua Wuye, the upside-down man, was speechless, his lips twitching wildly.

There are still nearly ten days until the next full moon. By then, those trapped in the Palace of Illusion and Reality will have long become the BOSS's defense.

"I originally thought I could find a solution here, but I never expected..."

Hua Wuye sighed and nodded slightly to the others:

"Thank you, Mr. Ta, thank you all. I'll think of another way..."

"The matter is urgent, so I must take my leave now."

After saying that, he waved his hand, and the surrounding gray mist rippled as he prepared to leave.

Just then, a hoarse voice rang out.

"etc."

Xiao Yun raised his head and looked at Hua Wuye:

"I think I've come up with a solution."
