Dormitory group chat, my information updated daily.

"If that's the case, then the situation becomes even more complicated."

Jiang Shangzhen rubbed his temples wearily, feeling that the current situation was a complete mess.

"Night monsters are very aggressive, so wouldn't it be easy to pinpoint our target if we just investigated the recent heinous incident in the capital?"

Su Muqing made the suggestion, and Jiang Shangzhen's eyes lit up.

Xiao Yun sighed softly and shook his head:

"Above the eighth sequence, the monsters possess considerable intelligence. Even if they don't know why they've arrived in this illusion, they won't cause trouble right away due to their wariness of the unfamiliar environment."

"Not to mention, there are also high-level monsters coming in together. In order to gain greater benefits—such as obtaining the bloodline of the true dragon and other ancient bloodlines to improve their strength—they will definitely suppress the commotion of the low-level monsters and wait for the right opportunity."

Su Muqing nodded, realizing that she hadn't considered things thoroughly enough.

"However, this method can indeed be used to identify some temperamental monsters, which can alleviate some of the pressure."

Xiao Yun smiled and continued:

"I have already instructed the Imperial Advisor to take this matter into account; he will handle it well. Our primary goal is to find the other people first."

"Is the Imperial Advisor reliable?"

The two had some doubts.

They naturally knew what happened last night, but even though the Grand Preceptor didn't reveal Xiao Yun's identity, he also didn't reveal it himself, so he wasn't trustworthy.

"Trust is irrelevant; as long as both parties have the same interests, they can cooperate."

Xiao Yun said calmly, a crimson-gold flame igniting in his eyes.

Before them, a void of darkness appeared, with the outline of the royal capital faintly discernible.

And in the darkness, a spark flickered.

"As expected, just like the master-servant contract, the fire-transfer blood pact can also confirm identity."

However, Xiao Yun did not summon these people directly. Instead, he fully activated his talent and sent simple commands through the blood pact connection:

"Find your companions, conceal your identities, and await my commands."

At the same time, the fire within all the blood pact Servants suddenly surged.

All Servants' Flames have been upgraded to Sequence Seven, granting them the ability to recognize their companions.

Although it is quite faint and can only be recognized when the two sides are very close, it is enough.

"Praise be to the Lord of birth, death, and fire!"

At the main gate of the capital, Shi Zhenshan, a guard, murmured to himself, gazing up at the illusory palace high in the sky, his eyes gleaming with fervent light.

The fire within him had risen to Sequence Six, thus allowing him to perceive more than others.

High in the sky, there is a flame as blazing as the sun, whose magnificent power inspires a sense of awe and reverence.

Based on the image of the giant dragon that had just arrived riding on flames, Shi Zhenshan quickly guessed Xiao Yun's identity:

"To have become the King of Life and Death, the King of Fire, in this era—truly worthy of being the Guild Master!"

Shi Zhenshan was thrilled. Looking at the other dazed and confused guards, he couldn't help but straighten his back.

"Hmph, the one backing me is a Dragon King! No matter how high their status, everyone else is nothing but a chicken or a dog!"

He surveyed his surroundings with disdain, a sense of pride welling up within him.

But suddenly, his eyes met those of a pair of cold eyes.

A Dragon King's guard, clad in magnificent armor and a green robe embroidered with dragon patterns, stood there looking at him and snorted coldly.

"Why aren't you on guard duty? What are you doing standing around looking at things like that?"

Shi Zhenshan's body trembled, and he instantly revealed a fawning smile:

"I deserve to die, I deserve to die! I've just been standing here for too long and my body is a little stiff, so I'm just swaying and stretching."

"Heh, that's no excuse for neglecting your duties."

The handsome knight, with a cold expression, said:

"As the captain of the guard, such dereliction of duty warrants my immediate execution!"

Shi Zhenshan felt a chill run through his body, thinking that he was about to die before he could even begin his mission.

"However, considering the recent shortage of manpower during the grand event, I will spare your life."

The handsome knight snorted coldly and pointed to the city streets:

"You are hereby punished to patrol the southern district of the capital, investigate any potential riots, and assist the citizens in preparing for the grand event."

"If I find you neglecting your duties again, you'll be executed without mercy!"

Shi Zhenshan nodded hurriedly, then bowed and scraped as he saw the imperial guard off.

As soon as the Imperial Guard's green dragon-patterned cloak disappeared from sight, his face immediately darkened.

"Damn, what's this guy showing off for? He thinks being a member of the Imperial Guard makes him so great?"

Shi Zhenshan muttered something under his breath.

It's not that he's petty; this guy just went too far.

In less than a day since he arrived, this imperial guard had appeared three times, and each time he had given him a severe dressing-down.

"A royal guard, instead of protecting the palace, comes here every day to show off his power."

Shi Zhenshan curled his lip in displeasure and spat:

"Wait until I meet up with the boss, then I'll blind your dog eyes."

However, when he thought of the laurel wreath emblem on the opponent's breastplate, which represented the kingdom's champion, Shi Zhenshan's confidence weakened.

"Forget it, if I can't afford to offend them, I can at least avoid them."

He muttered something under his breath, tapped the ground with his spear, and shouted to the guards:

"Everyone who's on break, get up! We're working overtime these next two days!"

"You, you, you, and you, all of you come with me into the city to help prepare for the grand ceremony."

"Yes, sir!"

Dozens of imposing knights responded respectfully, lined up, and followed behind him.

Having finally regained some ground from his subordinates, Shi Zhenshan nodded in satisfaction and led his team to inspect the city.

The patrol was as peaceful as the original owner remembered, but along the way, they encountered quite a few owners of the Fire Seed.

As instructed by Xiao Yun, the two exchanged only a few glances, memorized each other's identities, and then quietly parted ways.

Unbeknownst to them, the team had reached the border between the South and East districts and was nearing the end of their patrol.

"Let's go to the city center and familiarize ourselves with the arrangements for the grand ceremony."

Just as Shi Zhenshan was about to lead his team away, a commotion suddenly arose from another street.

"Help! Murder!"

Shi Zhenshan's eyes lit up, and he led his team to suppress the rebellion.

Although they were just small fry compared to the Imperial Guards, they were still the guards protecting the gates of the capital and could be considered elites.

Therefore, the crazed orc was quickly subdued.

"Awooo! Awooo!"

The orc struggled violently, and Shi Zhenshan snorted coldly and knocked it unconscious with a punch.

"You think I can't handle you?"

Shi Zhenshan smiled confidently, feeling the admiration of the onlookers, and couldn't help but hum softly.

However, amidst his joy, he also realized something was amiss:

"Orcs may be ferocious, but they are also intelligent beings. They wouldn't go so far as to act crazy and hurt people. Could they have contracted some kind of disease?"

He pondered for a moment and then gave the order:

"Find two people to take this guy to jail and report the unusual situation to the higher-ups."

After the guards received their orders and left, Shi Zhenshan leisurely led his team to the Royal Capital Square.

"Wow, this is a grand ceremony for the Dragon Clan. It's truly extraordinary."

Looking at the grand ceremony venue, which was already taking shape but was already magnificent, Shi Zhenshan couldn't help but marvel.

As he walked, he suddenly stopped, looked in one direction, and his eyes lit up.

And there, a guard captain was also watching him with a smile:

"Hey, isn't this the guy from the South Gate? What brings you here for a visit?"

"Inspecting the security of the capital and preparing for the grand ceremony."

The two men smiled at each other, and the two tiger-like heroes met here.

Since they were both guard captains, they could legitimately be together and catch up on each other's lives.

As they talked, they discovered that their experiences were almost identical.

"Were you also driven here by that show-off champion?"

The two brothers, both in dire straits, gazed at each other with deep affection, both thinking of someone's beastly behavior.

Meanwhile, at the foot of the Palace of Illusion and Reality.

The handsome knight stopped in his tracks, his brow furrowed slightly, then suddenly opened his mouth wide:

"Holy crap!!! Damn it, which brat is talking about me behind my back?"

"Hmph, it must be some guys who didn't get a good identity and happened to be messed with by me these past two days, so they're in a bad mood."

Wang Tianyuan chuckled inwardly, a sense of superiority rising within him:

"Haha, so what if you're unhappy? I love how you can't stand me but are helpless about it."

"After all, you still have quite a few people above you, while I don't have many people above me."

Wang Tianyuan smiled slightly, humming a little tune, and stepped onto the floating platform leading to the throne room.

"The Dragon King summoned me, but I don't know why. Is it because of my heroic performance and loyalty that he wants to give me something good?"

"If it's a pretty girl, I might consider it; if it's just verbal praise..."

A cruel glint flashed in his eyes, and his expression instantly turned cold:

"I don't mind, let's end this illusion right here in the throne room!"

Just then, the platform stopped at the entrance to the throne room.

Wang Tianyuan straightened his clothes, gripped the sword at his waist, and strode arrogantly into the throne room.

With a flash of light, the vast and magnificent throne room appeared before us.

Surprisingly, quite a few people were already standing in the throne room.

"Hiss, the Inspector General, the Chief Diplomat, the Dragon Guard Commander, the Chief Financial Officer... what's going on with all these big shots? Why are they all gathered here?"

Looking around, he couldn't see many people of lower status than himself.

For a moment, his arrogant strides subsided somewhat.

Wang Tianyuan carefully stopped at the foot of the throne, knelt on one knee, and respectfully said:

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

But after I finished speaking, I received no response.

Countless gazes pressed down, but the most oppressive gaze came from the very center, descending from the throne, causing him to break out in a cold sweat and only able to lower his head to hide his panic.

Because he had his head down, he didn't see the suppressed smirks of the people around him.

On the throne, Xiao Yun's lips curled slightly upward, but his words were icy cold:

"Do you... know your crime!"

The Dragon King's terrifying majesty pressed down, and the cold gazes of the others also pressed down.

Under immense pressure, Wang Tianyuan's mind went blank, and a series of images flashed before his eyes.

"Could this be my death trap?!"

……

The shift between reality and illusion is progressing... 35%...

……

In the void, a soft sigh drifted by like the wind:

"Too slow..."

The entire capital city was reflected in its cyan-gold vertical pupils.

That was His former home, and an unforgettable memory.

However, looking at the familiar grass and trees, his eyes showed no emotion whatsoever, only countless calculations flashing through them.

"If this continues, my plan will not be completed before the illusion ends."

He sighed softly, pondering a solution.

Just then, the fat man who had been impaled on the black throne behind them suddenly raised his head:

"Hehe, you think it's too slow? If you think it's too slow, let me in and I'll help you."
