At the headquarters of the Immortal Sect, a white mist flowed out of the bronze ancient tripod, containing the consciousness of the demonic cultivators.

As the immortal eyes opened, a screen of light was projected with rankings displayed on it.

The sect leader and vice sect leader were watching the outstanding performances of those ranked at the top.

“Look at this person from Kunlun City, he’s quite good. He recites the death chant before killing, very ceremonial.”

“I heard he used to be a monk in a temple, advocating killing to become a Buddha. He secretly killed many people and when the abbot found out, he was going to execute him. But he smashed the Buddha statue and fled. He came to our Immortal Sect to see if the Immortal would support his views.”

“That little guy from Quhe County also has some ideas. He makes family members kill each other and turns them into puppets after death.”

“Oh, this one is interesting. He smashes the load-bearing walls, causing buildings to collapse and killing many people.”

The two of them enthusiastically commented on the top-ranked cultivators. Those who could rank high were ruthless and had a high probability of advancing to higher positions in the future.

“What about the three little guys who performed well in the first two tests?”

They scrolled through the screen for a long time before finding Lu Yang and his group, who were discussing whether or not to go to the brothel.

The vice sect leader was dissatisfied with their ranking. “They’re so far behind, could they be undercover from the righteous path, doing bad things?”

The sect leader, with his experience, shook his head. “You can’t think like that. I think this Lu Yang person has some ideas. He should have a stunning plan. You should know that doing bad things doesn’t necessarily mean only fighting for the present. Long-term planning is the best choice.”

When they saw that Lu Yang was not doing anything, they scrolled the screen to the top to see what the first-ranked person did.

“The first-ranked person uses poison. He puts poison in the well and kills everyone on the street. He also poisons the cows and makes them go mad, causing them to run into the street and kill many people. Very good, poison should be used this way.”

“What a strange method. He buys up a whole area of shops and then fires all the employees.”

“The one below him is similar. After taking over the shops, he makes the employees work overtime and doesn’t pay them. Is this also considered bad?”

The vice sect leader felt like he couldn’t keep up with the times.

Suddenly, an extremely powerful divine soul descended from the sky, breaking through all the formations set up by the headquarters and heading straight for the bronze ancient tripod filled with chaotic energy!

The bronze ancient tripod, named the Mountain and River Cauldron, could hold all things. It was the sect leader’s lifelong treasure that he had spent half his life refining and was only one step away from becoming an immortal treasure!

“It’s a divine soul descending. A righteous expert has found us!” The sect leader couldn’t believe it. What had happened? How could a righteous expert find them in the blink of an eye?!

“This aura… is Yun Zhi from the Seek Tao Sect?!” The sect leader felt the familiar aura and remembered some terrible things, making his spine tingle.

The vice sect leader showed a fierce expression, taking out his weapon and preparing to kill her. “Yun Zhi? Just a disciple of the Seek Tao Sect. She’s just one person. Let’s call everyone and attack her. Can’t we take her down?”

Yun Zhi rarely made a move and was not well-known in the central mainland. Even the Sect Master, the eight elders, and Dai Bufan had more fame than her.

But being unknown did not mean she was weak. Everyone who had seen her make a move felt that she had subverted their understanding of cultivation!

Coincidentally, the sect leader had witnessed Yun Zhi’s moves. She could move stars and moons, reverse yin and yang, and easily suppress strong enemies. He really felt that his three thousand years of cultivation had gone to waste.

The sect leader kicked the deputy sect leader and said, “Is this the time to fight to the death? You haven’t seen her in action, she’s terrifying. Listen to me, run now. If you’re too late, not even an immortal can save you!”

He became the immortal sect leader not only because he was the most devout to the immortals and had the highest cultivation, but also because he was cautious enough to know when to fight, when to escape, and when to accept fate.

Facing Yun Zhi head-on wasn’t fighting to the death, it was accepting fate!

The sect leader used ancient and mysterious imprints to stop Yun Zhi from breaking out of the mountain and river cauldron.

The deputy sect leader had never seen the sect leader lose his composure like this before. He realized the severity of the situation and gave orders to all the high-level members to escape to the backup headquarters.

The Immortal Sect had detailed plans and escape routes in case of an attack from the righteous sects. The high-level members were familiar with these plans after multiple rehearsals.

In the blink of an eye, all the high-level members of the Immortal Sect had disappeared.

The sect leader used his three-headed and six-armed divine power to reinforce the seal on the mountain and river cauldron with two hands, while using the other four hands to restore the consciousness of the other people inside the cauldron.

The cracks on the mountain and river cauldron increased rapidly, and the sealing speed couldn’t keep up with the speed of the cracks.

Seeing everyone had successfully escaped, the sect leader breathed a sigh of relief and cut off the connection to the mountain and river cauldron. He spat out a mouthful of blood due to the backlash from his life treasure.

His cultivation level quickly dropped, and his face turned pale as paper.

The sect leader didn’t have time to worry about this and turned around to run!

Boom!

The mountain and river cauldron exploded, causing the entire headquarters to shake.

Yun Zhi walked out of the mountain and river cauldron with an expressionless face, like an ancient legendary Valkyrie, sacred and inviolable!

She bent down and wiped the sect leader’s blood with her fingertips, and then calculated it. A cold light flashed in her eyes.

“In that direction.”

A hot white light condensed in her hand, like a brilliant heavenly thunder that could destroy all evil.

The white light thunder flew towards the sect leader with a whoosh. The sect leader didn’t expect Yun Zhi to find him even in this state. He wanted to dodge, but it was too late, and a blood flower bloomed on his shoulder.

“The cicada sheds its shell!” The sect leader had many life-saving techniques.

When Yun Zhi caught up, only the sect leader’s torso was left.

…

The sect leader staggered back to the backup headquarters, stuffing life-prolonging pills into his mouth. He forcibly cut off the connection to the mountain and river cauldron and used the cicada shedding technique. It would take hundreds of years of meditation to fully recover.

All of this was manageable, but the most important thing was the mountain and river cauldron!

It was a treasure that the entire sect had spent a fortune to refine, and the heavenly treasures and earth treasures consumed were enough to rival ten years of tax revenue from the Great Xia Empire!

Such a treasure had fallen into the hands of the Seek Tao Sect!

“How do you feel?” The deputy sect leader asked with concern. He was terrified after seeing Yun Zhi in action. If he had been in the sect leader’s place, he would have died long ago. It was only because of the sect leader’s strength that he was still alive.

“I won’t die.” The sect leader still had lingering fears. “Fortunately, we had a plan in advance and prepared a hiding place, cutting off the cause and effect. Yun Zhi couldn’t find us, otherwise the Four Great Demon Sects would have become the Three Great Demon Sects.”

“The mountain and river cauldron is broken, so the third test is over. Let’s see who’s in first place now.”

A light screen appeared with a name written on it.

First place, Lu Yang.

“Hmm?”
