Lin Yongming listened closely. From Bibi Dong's lips came only a single word:

"Kill."

"I wonder who she's trying to kill… She keeps repeating it. Looks like this method won't wake her up."

Just as Lin Yongming prepared to step forward again, Bibi Dong suddenly lashed out. The eight spider legs on her back shot toward him in an attack.

"Die!" she shouted as she struck.

"Block!"

Fortunately, Lin Yongming had been on high alert since entering the cave. The moment he sensed something was off with Bibi Dong, he reacted instantly.

Since her attack was unconscious, he couldn't retaliate—he could only defend and retreat.

"Hah, as expected. A mere Grand Soul Master walks into my illusion and gets caught immediately. But a child fighting another child? That's a perfect match."

The evil soul master smirked in amusement as he watched Bibi Dong attack Lin Yongming.

Soon after, he lost interest.

He had more pressing matters to focus on.

"Damn it… No wonder they're Soul Douluos. They've lasted this long in my Magic Mirror Phantom Array without losing their minds. But it doesn't matter—just kill them already! Kill them all!"

The evil soul master glared at the two deacons in purple robes. As long as they remained alive, there was still a chance they could break free. But maintaining the illusion for this long was draining his soul power, and he was growing anxious.

Meanwhile, Lin Yongming realized that if Bibi Dong was still this aggressive and hadn't woken up, the only way to break the illusion was to stop the evil soul master himself.

"Earth Splitter Slash!"

Seeing that Bibi Dong was too relentless, Lin Yongming used Earth Splitter Slash to push her back before swiftly dashing toward another area.

This time, he didn't bother trying to wake up the others. Instead, he confirmed his earlier suspicion—the evil soul master was completely immobilized.

"First Soul Skill—Thunder Slash!"

Weaving past the dazed Spirit Hall members, Lin Yongming closed in on the evil soul master's position and launched a probing attack.

"What the hell?!"

The evil soul master took the Thunder Slash head-on and immediately turned to Lin Yongming, his expression filled with shock.

"Impossible! You're inside my illusion—how can you still move?!"

"So I was right—he really is trapped by his own technique."

Out loud, Lin Yongming said, "You can't move, can you?"

"Ah… A blind kid! That explains it!"

The evil soul master sneered before scoffing. "But so what? You're just a Grand Soul Master. Even if I can't move, you can't break my Shadow Armor, my fourth soul skill.

"Unless… you have a thousand-year soul ring. But that's impossible! A Grand Soul Master with a thousand-year soul ring? Ridiculous!"

His tone turned threatening. "Listen, brat. If you run now, you might live. But if you stick around, once I'm done with them, I'll devour you first."

"Thanks for the warning," Lin Yongming said casually. "Unfortunately for you… my second soul ring is a thousand-year soul ring."

"Lies! A Grand Soul Master with a thousand—wait… a purple soul ring?! How is that possible?!"

The evil soul master's voice cracked as Lin Yongming's second soul ring flared to life.

"Second Soul Skill—Wave Burst!"

"No—wait! Stay back! Don't come any closer!"

Before the evil soul master could finish speaking, Lin Yongming's attack struck. His so-called Shadow Armor shattered instantly, and he was sent crashing into the cave wall.

"You little bastard! I'll tear you apart!"

"You won't get the chance—Shura Thunder Slash!"

Lin Yongming unleashed his full power, enhanced by the Wave Mark's attack boost. His Shura Thunder Slash cut straight through the evil soul master's body.

"Agh—lightning?! Pffft!"

The Nightmare Shadow martial soul behind him crumbled under the force of Lin Yongming's thunderous attack.

Lightning was the natural bane of all evil, dealing critical damage against dark forces. The moment Lin Yongming struck, the evil soul master suffered a severe backlash from his own illusion.

"You… you wretched brat…!"

As he collapsed, the strange stone in his hand slipped free.

Lin Yongming reacted swiftly, catching it before it hit the ground.

"This has to be valuable."

He didn't recognize what it was, but he felt an inexplicable attraction to it. Clearly, it wasn't ordinary.

"Die, you filthy evil soul master!"

As the illusion shattered like broken glass, Deacon Koruzi was the first to regain his senses. Enraged, he lunged forward and nearly ended the evil soul master's life on the spot.

Meanwhile, Lin Yongming discreetly stuffed the stone into his pocket.

Deacon Haerli, now free, also prepared to strike—but at that moment, Bibi Dong woke up.

"Stop! Cripple his cultivation and leave him half-alive!" she commanded.

"Understood, Your Highness!"

Haerli adjusted his attack, sealing the evil soul master's martial soul and rendering him powerless. The pain caused him to lose consciousness.

"Blind kid, what are you doing here?" Bibi Dong asked as she approached Lin Yongming.

"She doesn't remember anything from the illusion? Good. That means she won't recall me fighting her either."

Before Lin Yongming could answer, Koruzi spoke up.

"Your Highness, we owe Lin Yongming our thanks. He was the one who broke the illusion. Without him, we wouldn't have escaped so easily."

"Your Highness, I waited outside for a long time, but none of you came out. I figured something had gone wrong, so I came to investigate. I didn't expect to find all of you trapped in an illusion.

"Luckily for me, I'm blind. The illusion had no immediate effect on me," Lin Yongming explained with a humble smile.

"But how did a mere Grand Soul Master break the illusion of a Soul Sage?" Bibi Dong asked, intrigued.

"Honestly, it was luck. I noticed that the evil soul master couldn't move while maintaining the illusion. Since he was immobilized, I took my chances and attacked until I disrupted his soul skill," Lin Yongming answered, feigning exhaustion.

"Hmm… Even in the illusion, I vaguely sensed combat. If what you say is true, then the evil soul master was forced to remain still in order to keep us trapped.

"But he underestimated us—he didn't expect we had someone outside the illusion." Haerli nodded in agreement.

"Blind kid, good thing you didn't come in with us. Otherwise, we'd all be doomed."

Bibi Dong looked at Lin Yongming seriously.

"Thank you."

"Your Highness, there's no need to thank me. I'm a member of the Spirit Hall as well. Besides, I had my own reasons—this was also my chance to avenge the villagers," Lin Yongming replied earnestly.

"Your Highness, I… I killed my own comrades…"

One of the elite members fell to his knees, shaking as he looked at the fallen bodies of his teammates.

"This isn't entirely your fault. That evil soul master was too cunning.

"Punishments will be decided once we return to the Spirit Hall," Bibi Dong said solemnly, glancing at the four deceased members.

Finally, Koruzi lifted the unconscious evil soul master onto his shoulder, while the others carried their fallen comrades out of the cave, heading back to the carriages.
