Chapter 1131 Everything has returned to its starting point.
Everything has returned to square one.
"It's starting again." Su Mingyi slowly opened his eyes, a trace of fatigue flashing in them.
In the first cycle, the three thought it was a real encounter and fought back the Nangong family with all their might, but the illusion restarted the moment Nangong Yuan appeared.
In the second cycle, they sensed something was wrong and tried to break the illusion, but found that no matter what they did, they could not change the outcome. The illusion would restart the moment Nangong Yuan waved his hand to attack.
The third time, Su Xiaoya and the other two didn't move. They just stood quietly in place, watching the scene repeat itself—Nangong Lie kicked the door open and spoke rudely, Yu Shuheng made a move, Nangong Mo and others appeared, Su Mingyi activated the Annihilation Domain, Su Xiaoya unleashed lightning, Nangong Lie confessed, Nangong Yuan led his men to surround the Chamber of Commerce, waved his hand, attacked, and then... the illusion restarted.
The fourth time, the fifth time, the sixth time...
As the number of reincarnations increased, the three people's thoughts became clearer and clearer.
They no longer tried to resist, but quietly observed the details of each cycle—Nangong Lie's expression, Nangong Mo's moves, Nangong Yuan's eyes, even the patterns on the merchant guild's pillars and the luster of the Chaos Pearl fragments in the jade tray.
They vaguely sensed that this cycle of illusions was not malicious, but rather a test, a... catalyst for inheritance.
However, they could not find the key to breaking the deadlock.
In the sixth cycle, when Nangong Lie escaped, Su Xiaoya tried to chase after him, but was blocked by an invisible barrier.
In the seventh cycle, Yu Shuheng tried to nourish the plants in the illusion with his life essence, but found that the plants were all illusory and could not absorb the essence at all.
In the eighth cycle, Su Mingyi pushed the Annihilation Domain to its limit, attempting to devour the entire illusion, only to find that the illusion was like a bottomless pit, and the power of Annihilation he poured into it sank without a trace.
The ninth cycle—the scene flashes back again, with Su Xiaoya and the other two standing silently in the lobby of the Xinghai Chamber of Commerce.
This time, Su Xiaoya didn't look at the fragments of the Chaos Pearl in the jade tray. Instead, she frowned and stared intently at the direction Nangong Lie had fled. The figure in the brocade robe gradually disappeared into the void, as if it had never existed.
It felt as if a million ants were gnawing at her heart, and an indescribable restlessness surged up like a tide, making her feel suffocated.
Not right.
Something is wrong.
Perhaps Nangong Lie's arrogance was just an act?
But why?
It's not like they'd just do it for a beating, is it?
This line of thinking is wrong. The fear in Nangong Lie's eyes after his failure was undeniable.
And Nangong Mo, was his self-exposure really forced upon him?
That's not right either. Since our side felt something was amiss, we didn't really intend to kill Nangong Mo.
Therefore, even though his nascent soul could have escaped, he chose to self-destruct.
why?
And Nangong Yuan...
Su Xiaoya recalled Nangong Yuan's gaze. There was no killing intent in his eyes; instead, there was a hint of... urgency.
Yu Shuheng also lowered his head in deep thought, the hem of his blue robe swaying slightly, his fingers gently tracing lines in the air, as if he were deducing something.
He wondered why Nangong Yuan would deliberately expose the fact that the Nangong family colluded with demonic cultivators, which was a huge secret.
What was his purpose in luring them into this trap?
Was it to silence them, or... was there another motive?
Su Mingyi leaned against the pillar, not withdrawing his Annihilation Domain, and gray mist slowly swirled around him.
He was gripped by a strong sense of unease, a feeling like a fishbone stuck in his throat, making him restless and uneasy.
He carefully recalled the details of each cycle, trying to find the one thing that wasn't right—Nangong Lie's confession was too easy, Nangong Mo's self-destruction was too deliberate, and Nangong Yuan's encirclement was too coincidental…
