"Hmm?"
Seeing the three awaken, Wu Dao immediately mobilized his swarm, preparing to fight them.
But just as he finished preparing, Lin Ke gestured for him to relax. "No need to be nervous, Brother Wu. I've already reached an agreement with them."
He then looked at the Jade Commandery Princess and the other two. "Hand over all your belongings."
At his words, the three could only pretend to be reluctant as they handed over their Storage Bags.
"Please take a look, Brother Lin."
On behalf of the other two, the Jade Commandery Princess gathered all three Storage Bags and handed them to Lin Ke together.
After taking the Storage Bags, Lin Ke smiled at Wu Dao. "Brother Wu, come split the spoils."
Wu Dao looked utterly bewildered. "Huh? What... what's going on, Brother Lin?"
Since he had no idea what had happened within the illusion, he clearly found the behavior of Wu Dao and the other two somewhat difficult to understand.
Lin Ke approached him and whispered in his ear, "Don't worry. They're quite safe."
"Just now, inside the illusion, I used a little mental technique on them. If they dare resist, they'll die."
"So now, they don't dare harbor even the slightest thought of resistance. You needn't worry."
Disbelief covered Wu Dao's face.
He looked at the Jade Commandery Princess and the other two, then at the composed Lin Ke, and asked in astonishment, "Is your technique truly that powerful, Brother Lin?"
Lin Ke nodded with a smile. "Wasn't that exactly how I captured Duan Yifeng? You should have seen the results yourself, Brother Wu."
Hearing this, Wu Dao could not help recalling everything Duan Yifeng had done after Lin Ke captured him.
It did seem credible.
He promptly nodded. "It seems we all underestimated your strength, Brother Lin.
