Qin Feng's detailed analysis reassured them somewhat.
The remaining people all chose to believe Qin Feng and did not try the illusion test again.
Even Shen Mengying, who had been eager to participate, quieted down and didn't mention the test again.
Of the 180 people who entered the Palace of Bliss, only eight people—Qin Feng, Yin Tiantian, Leng Yuexi, Xiao Fan, Xiao Shitou, Shen Mengying, Shen Qianjun, and Zhou Jian—did not participate in the illusion array assessment.
No new notifications appeared from the Palace of Bliss, and it seemed that the process had simply stalled there.
Time passed by little by little.
With Qin Feng's reminder, Zhou Jian, Shen Qianjun, and others increasingly agreed with Qin Feng's point of view.
Zhou Jian looked at the two rows of people standing clearly separated and narrowed his eyes, saying:
"Have you noticed that these people have become unusually quiet? Even someone as hot-tempered as Bai He hasn't said a word."
Qin Feng looked at the statue with a mocking expression and said:
"This further proves that there is a problem. If I'm not mistaken, the energy required for the operation of this Palace of Bliss is considerable. If this continues, the people behind it will get impatient."
Leng Yuexi guessed, "If I'm not mistaken, there are other forces besides us who have entered, but they have been separated."
Qin Feng raised an eyebrow. "That's very possible."
Yin Tiantian asked in confusion, "Then what does he want to do?"
Zhou Jian looked thoughtful, as if he had thought of something, and exclaimed in surprise.
"Could it be that he uses us as nourishment? I've read in ancient texts that some people sacrificed humans to cultivate evil arts, using flesh and blood to nourish their bodies and souls to sustain their spirits."
Yin Tiantian was shocked. "Oh no, really? It's so terrifying and bloody?"
Shen Mengying also shrank her neck, breaking out in a cold sweat.
At this moment, Shen Qianjun also remembered something, and said with a trembling voice:
"You guys think that the generous rewards we received in the first round were just a way to fatten us up like pigs before slaughtering us?"
Zhou Jian nodded. "That possibility cannot be ruled out. Or perhaps he wants to choose a good body to possess, so that he can be reborn."
The more Yin Tiantian and the others listened, the more frightened they became. This was very similar to their own experience, and they couldn't help but feel their scalps tingle and sweat pour down their backs.
Seeing his companion's panic, Qin Feng comforted him:
"Don't worry, the fact that they're resorting to this method proves that they're not too powerful and still have some reservations about us."
However, at this moment, Leng Yuexi reminded her:
"Brother Feng, let's not forget that there were half of the people who were eliminated before, and we don't know where they went."
You're saying they haven't already been absorbed? If that's the case, the enemy's strength is constantly increasing.
Hearing Leng Yuexi say that, even Zhou Jian, a powerful expert at the King Realm, felt a jolt in his heart.
Everyone else turned their attention to Qin Feng.
Qin Feng nodded. "Yuexi is right. In that case, we can't just wait quietly."
Yin Tiantian asked curiously, "Then what do we do?"
Qin Feng did not answer directly, but instead took out the four-way control console.
Everyone looked at Qin Feng with puzzlement.
Qin Feng addressed the objects in all directions:
"I believe you can hear us. This statue in the hall must be very important to you. What do you think would happen if I destroyed it?"
Yin Tiantian looked at Qin Feng strangely, "Junior Brother, are you under a lot of pressure? Is your brain fogged up? Why are you talking to an inanimate object?"
Qin Feng did not respond, but simply looked coldly at the objects around him.
Unexpectedly, the square object suddenly broke free from Qin Feng's hand and flew rapidly toward the statue.
Qin Feng snorted coldly as he watched this scene, and a burst of sword energy shot out.
Instead of attacking the objects around him, he attacked the statues in the main hall.
Leng Yuexi and the others watched this sudden scene with curiosity.
To their surprise, just as Qin Feng's sword energy was about to reach the statue, someone intervened and stopped it.
This person was actually Zhu Rui.
Yin Tiantian, Shen Mengying, and the others all looked surprised.
Qin Feng wasn't too surprised, as if he had expected it.
The four objects returned to the front of the statue, and a hole appeared in the center of the statue's forehead, just big enough to accommodate the four objects.
Everyone saw the statue slowly disintegrate, with stone fragments falling off one after another, until finally a phantom appeared.
At the same time, the formation of the Palace of Bliss began to crumble, and the red and yellow pillars of light that had enveloped the examinees disappeared.
For a fleeting moment, Deng Tianning and the others' calm expressions flickered with amusement, but they quickly returned to their usual composure.
Yin Tiantian and the others felt a lightness in their bodies, as if some kind of restraint had been released.
Qin Feng raised an eyebrow and calmly looked at the illusory figure.
The phantom was exactly the same as the statue, only more haggard and weaker.
Even so, the aura of this phantom still possessed the strength of a King Realm expert.
After the phantom appeared, it clicked its tongue in admiration and looked at Qin Feng with undisguised appreciation.
"Sigh, I didn't expect that I could fool all the old guys, but these two young people are so difficult to deal with. They really are the people I chose."
He was referring to Qin Feng and Leng Yuexi.
Shen Mengying looked at the illusory figure curiously and asked timidly, "Are you really the Gengjin Emperor?"
The illusory figure recalled for a moment, then nodded and shook its head, "I suppose so."
Shen Mengying was confused. "What do you mean by that?"
The illusory figure did not answer Shen Mengying, but instead looked at Qin Feng and asked:
"How did you realize something was wrong? I always thought it was all a perfect design."
