Time reversed to ten minutes before the Mirage Dragon left the Misty Territory.
Earlier, the audio of Ji Jiu, recorded via drone by Ash, had been delivered to the Special Affairs Bureau. Combining this with the ancient codices the Heterodox Academy had just deciphered, they finally understood what was happening inside the Misty Territory. They assembled a team of elite players, ready to enter the depths of the Misty Territory at all costs.
However, lacking a Palace Lantern or a secret passage left by the ancient Heterodox Academy, this elite team, like those sent before, had to forcefully break through the levels of the Demon Prison. Lacking a map, this elite team wandered the shallowest layer of the Misty Territory—the version of Yin City Li Ang and Wei Linglan had previously seen. They fought demons in the shallowest level of the Demon Prison but never found the passage to the next level. This was the fault of the Heterodox Academy.
