The examiner ordered, whether you are a latecomer or a dragon who has crossed the river, you must stand obediently.

If you anger the examiner, do you still want to join the demonic cult?

Don’t be fooled by their success on the outside, no matter how well you do, can you be stronger than the demonic cult?

The demonic cult has a mysterious leader with profound cultivation, and a multitude of strong followers. As for them, they only have themselves, and the one with the highest cultivation is only at the Foundation Establishment stage.

The three examiners had unfamiliar faces, and no one present had ever seen them before. But this was understandable. The demonic cult was a more mysterious existence than the demonic path and lone cultivators, and they never appeared easily. It was normal for no one to have seen them.

Although the notice was delivered one hour earlier than expected, no one had any doubts.

This should be one of the demonic cult’s tests. Those who arrived early showed that they cared about the demonic cult, while those who arrived late were not worthy of joining.

Lu Yang sat with his legs crossed, took out a pen and paper, and pointed to the first person, asking, “Tell us, why did you choose to join the demonic cult? What can you bring to us by joining the demonic cult? What are your plans for yourself? What are your expectations for rewards?”

“Huh?” The first person was dumbfounded. He was stunned by the series of questions as soon as he came up. Was this the demonic cult’s entrance exam?

Shouldn’t it be questions about cultivation, techniques, and bad deeds?

Seeing the first person unable to answer for a long time, Lu Yang impatiently waved his hand. “What’s with the ‘huh’? You stutter when facing our questions. After you get caught by the government, won’t you reveal all of the demonic cult’s secrets?”

“You’re eliminated, go back.”

The second person was the leader of a small gang, who had been in and out of jail many times. After being released from prison, he found that his gang and wife had been taken over by his subordinates. He had to snatch them back several times. He was an experienced leader.

“My name is Niu Mang, the leader of the Qinglong Gang. I chose to join our demonic cult because I want a better development prospect. I share many similarities with the demonic path’s philosophy and our demonic cult. I believe that we will get along well after joining the demonic cult. After joining the demonic cult, I will work hard to do bad things and make the demonic cult bigger and stronger, and create glory together!”

“My plan for myself is that whatever the demonic cult needs me to do, I will do it without any complaints. After all, only when the demonic cult is strong can I be strong!”

“The demonic cult gave me a place to stand, how can I still ask for rewards? I should contribute to the demonic cult!”

Niu Mang spoke passionately, waving his fists, expressing that he would overcome difficulties and welcome a bright future.

He spoke very skillfully, after all, this was how he educated the Qinglong Gang.

“You’re eliminated, go back.”

“Why?” Niu Mang was very dissatisfied. He thought he had answered perfectly.

Lu Yang scolded him sternly, feeling that Niu Mang was unworthy of being a demonic cultivator. “What is the demonic path? It is selfishness and self-interest. How can someone like you who serves the demonic cult wholeheartedly without seeking rewards be a demonic cultivator? As a member of the demonic cult, you must think about how to seize power and rebel. How can there be a demonic cult without internal strife?”

“Moreover, didn’t you say that whatever the demonic cult needs you to do, you will do it? Now the demonic cult needs to eliminate you, so get lost!”

Niu Mang left dejectedly. After listening to this, the people behind him felt enlightened. It turned out that this was the demonic cult’s theory. The examiners were really knowledgeable about the demonic path.

“The next one.” Meng Jingzhou shouted.”I’m Chi Xulong, at the Foundation Establishment stage of cultivation.” Chi Xulong emphasized his cultivation level, hoping to make the examiner take notice of him.

“So, what kind of bad things have you done?”

When asked this, Chi Xulong had a lot to say: “I was carried away and raised by wolves on the mountain since I was young. When I was ten years old, I used a bone knife to kill the wolf that had carried me away. I lived in the mountains and just took what I wanted by force. This habit continued when I went to the city, where I would just rob whatever I lacked. Then the constables chased me, but I was too fast for them. When I robbed people, I also took hostages and even killed a few people who got in my way.”

Chi Xulong was proud of what he had done. If he had done so many bad things, why wasn’t he qualified to join the demonic sect?

Meng Jingzhou shook his head. “Nowadays, the righteous path is strong, and we of the demonic path must act with caution. Your style of doing things is too ostentatious, and you will eventually get caught. Look at how many people know you, and then look at the three of us. Who knows us? That’s the difference!”

“This is not hiding one’s head and showing one’s tail, but a premeditated infiltration. It is the wisdom of hiding in plain sight!”

Man Gu looked curiously at Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou. Why did Brother Lu and Brother Meng seem to be quite familiar with the demonic path?

After listening, Chi Xulong was greatly inspired and felt that he had simplified the demonic path too much, so he left on his own.

“I am Shen Jinyi.” The fair-faced scholar Shen Jinyi introduced himself with a smile. After several rounds of questioning, he felt that he had a clear understanding of the other person’s path.

Man Gu, who was also a Confucian cultivator like the other, was happy to ask a question that he had never been able to figure out, one that even Elder Si couldn’t answer: “Since ‘niang’ and ‘ma’ mean the same thing, can I call a young lady ‘gu ma’?”

Shen Jinyi was stunned for a long time. With his forty years of life experience, he really didn’t know what to say.

He had thought that the examiner on the left looked ordinary and had not spoken until now, but unexpectedly, he gave him a knockout blow right away.

Shen Jinyi did not directly say that he did not know, but said, “I am a killer, not a Confucian cultivator.”

“A killer? Have you studied criminal law?” Lu Yang asked with interest.

“A little bit.” Shen Jinyi modestly replied. In fact, he had studied criminal law quite a bit, as becoming a killer required studying how to avoid criminal law.

“Then let me ask you, the definition of intentional homicide under criminal law is ‘intentionally depriving a person of their life, constituting this crime.’ Does suicide constitute intentional homicide?”

Shen Jinyi took a second knockout blow.

Seeing that Shen Jinyi couldn’t answer, Lu Yang disappointedly waved his hand. “You can’t even answer questions in your field of expertise. Go back.”

In just five minutes, Shen Jinyi had suffered the biggest setback in his life.

Were these questions that a normal person could answer?

“Does that mean only people with unconventional thinking can join the demonic sect?”

…

This entrance examination was of great importance, and the sect leader had to personally preside over it to be at ease.

The sect leader arrived half an hour early, well prepared.

On the way to the examination site, the sect leader saw many ferocious-looking people leaving one after another, muttering things like “the interview was really difficult,” “it’s hard to join the demonic sect,” “so this is the true essence of the demonic path,” “I’ll come back in thirty years,” as if they had undergone some kind of baptism and had a great realization.

The sect leader fell into deep thought.

He hadn’t arrived yet, so who was presiding over the examination?

Then he saw Lu Yang and his two companions, who were towering figures and had influenced the world.
