Jing Le quietly approached the Phantom Butterfly ten meters away, stood there motionless, and waited for it to take the bait.
In a short while, a delicate flower in the flowerbed trembled and transformed into a seven-colored butterfly.
It fluttered among the flowers, then followed the faint fragrance and flew towards Jingyue.
See, it's so simple, the fish have come!
Jing Le saw this scene, and so did everyone else.
The phantom butterfly really did transform from a flower into a butterfly; it's truly a sight to behold.
Ao Le was somewhat worried: could Jing Le really catch the Phantom Butterfly?
Although the Phantom Butterfly is considered a rather useless creature among demonic beasts, its illusions can only target cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage.
The higher one's level of attainment, the less one is controlled.
However, the Phantom Butterfly has a way of escaping danger: when it encounters danger, it can create multiple clones.
Each clone possesses illusion magic, increasing the difficulty of capturing them and giving the Phantom Butterfly a chance to escape.
This is exactly what Ao Le is worried about.
However, what he didn't know was that even if the Phantom Butterfly had millions of clones, it wouldn't matter.
With the system's help, Jing Le has no fear of not being able to find anything.
Just then, the phantom butterfly flew to Jing Le's side and kept circling around the fragrant porcelain bottle.
Jing Le made his move at that moment.
An invisible spiritual force enveloped the phantom butterfly.
As if sensing danger, the phantom butterfly paused for a moment, and a streak of seven-colored light flashed by.
Where there was only one phantom butterfly, suddenly three appeared.
Then, with a flap of their wings, three became nine, and with another flap, nine became eighteen.
As the phantom butterfly's wings vibrated, its clones multiplied, becoming more and more numerous.
Jing Le knew that the Phantom Butterfly actually only had the first two clones; the rest were created by them.
Used to confuse the public and escape.
But how could Jing Le have fallen for its trick?
[Hmph, you think you can stump me with this? You underestimate me.]
After all, the location given by the system is real; right now, the rightmost shining red dot is his true form.
Jing Le was not fooled by the illusion at all and reached for the red dot.
Meanwhile, the other phantom butterflies scattered, releasing illusions as they fled.
Emperor Jing and his group were blocked by Ao Le's barrier, so all the Phantom Butterflies headed towards Shadow Three and his group.
This was originally meant to train them, so Jing Le just watched. She wanted to capture the real body first.
In the end, the true form of the Phantom Butterfly naturally fell into Jing Le's hands.
As the alluring scent intensified, it tugged back and forth between fleeing and succumbing to the fragrance, ultimately succumbing to its allure.
Without resisting, he was caught by Jing Le.
The other clones disappeared automatically after Jing Le caught the real one.
However, the illusion that has already formed still has some influence.
Although it wasn't a huge blow, it was still a challenge for Shadow Three and his crew.
Jing Le looked at the phantom butterfly, who was trapped in the spiritual energy cage and embracing the porcelain bottle in a daze, and said:
"I am your master, so the contents of the porcelain bottle are yours. Of course, you will also benefit from them in the future."
Although the Phantom Butterflies haven't taken human form, they already possess considerable strength; perhaps this place is restricting their ability to do so.
"You...you really will give me something delicious?"
The Phantom Butterfly's voice was an adorable boyish voice, which Jing Le hadn't expected.
"Of course, you'll get delicious food if you acknowledge me as your master."
Jing Le is like an old witch tempting Snow White to eat an apple, coaxing the phantom butterfly.
Unfortunately, the Phantom Butterfly had never seen the dangers of the world, and so she signed a master-servant contract with Jing Le.
"From now on, you'll be called Phantom."
"Yes, Master."
Jing Le brought the Phantom Butterfly to Emperor Jing and the others. After the separation, the Phantom Butterfly followed them.
Ao Le didn't care about what Jing Le said; what he cared about was that with the Phantom Butterfly, they could get out.
"Now that we've found the Phantom Butterfly, does that mean we can leave?"
Jing Le saw that Ao Le was determined to go out, and knew that he must have a reason, but she had to remind him of a cruel fact.
“Ao Le, I have to remind you of a fact: even if you go out, you won’t be able to leave this world quickly.”
Jing Le, unusually serious, continued in a very earnest tone:
"This is just a small world, and it's full of ordinary people. Although there is spiritual energy here, it's not much. It would be better to find an island."
"So, the idea of leaving this place as soon as you leave the island and heading to the wider world is simply impossible."
There was one more thing Jing Le didn't say aloud, but Emperor Jing and Duan Feibai, who could hear her thoughts, knew it.
[To leave, one needs the permission of Heaven, and for Heaven to grant permission, the only solution is to eliminate the anomalies in this world.]
This is also why Jing Le came here.
Is that so?
Ao Le wasn't stupid. He understood as soon as Jing Le said that leaving the island was the first step, but whether he could really leave depended on the situation.
He then thought of the opportunity his senior brother had mentioned.
If Jing Le can lead him out of here, it means she is the opportunity he has been waiting for.
Perhaps it was Jing Le who was given the opportunity to leave this world.
He believed that with Jing Le's abilities, it was impossible for her to stay here forever, so he would stay by her side.
He'll be able to leave eventually. He has plenty of time. He's lived through ten thousand years, so what's a few more?
Having figured this out, Ao Le was no longer as tense as before. He smiled at Jing Le and said:
"Then I'll follow you from now on. Anyway, you'll definitely leave here eventually, so just take me with you."
