“What’s going on?” Jiang Shicheng’s scalp turned numb, “Why would a demon cultivator sneak into the Heavenly Chief Mystic Realm? This is an Outer Sect Assessment. Not long ago, a batch of spies were eliminated, and now, a demon cultivator has appeared.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“This is troublesome.” Zhang Jianwen’s face turned pale. He looked at the huge wolf that was gradually surrounding him and could not help but take half a step back, “Demon cultivators have entered the Heavenly Chief Mystic Realm. What are they plotting? Could the rumors of the Heavenly Chief Inheritance be true?”

“There are so many giant wolves and a demon cultivator whose exact cultivation level is unknown. I… I’m afraid we can’t beat them!”

Ren Keshun had already started to cower.

“Senior… Senior Brother…”

Liu Erdan swallowed his saliva and looked at Qi Ming. He asked, “Wha… What should we do now?”

Jiang Shicheng and the others’ gazes landed on Qi Ming. Only then did they realize that they were following a powerful senior brother.

With their senior brother around, did they still need to be afraid?

Calm down.

Calm down.

They immediately calmed down a lot, as if they had found their backbone, waiting for Qi Ming’s answer.

“Cough cough, why don’t you guys block the front for a while?”

Qi Ming coughed lightly and said, “Then, Senior Brother, I’ll immediately go get reinforcements?”

“!!!”

Jiang Shicheng and the others were dumbfounded.

Holy shit!

They had not even started fighting, and he was already treating the few of them as abandoned pawns to stall for time? Wasn’t he supposed to be kind-hearted? Wasn’t he supposed to be the most outstanding disciple in the history of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect?

The image of a big shot had collapsed!

“Hahaha…”

The black-haired, blue-eyed demon cultivator laughed. He looked at Qi Ming and the others as if he was looking at corpses and said, “The Heavenly Chief Inheritance requires enough souls to completely open.”

“The five of you will become the materials to activate the Heavenly Chief Inheritance.”

“Giant wolves!”

“Kill!”

The black-haired, blue-eyed demon cultivator roared and controlled the surrounding giant wolves to directly attack Qi Ming and the others from all directions.

“F*ck!”

Jiang Shicheng cursed. When he saw several giant wolves surrounding him, he could only raise the artifact saber in his hand and slash out the saber qi to block the attack of the giant wolves.

“I don’t know if the Heavenly Chief Inheritance is true, but this rumor has already drawn the true demon cultivator into the Heavenly Chief Mystic Realm. I’m afraid many servant disciples will die this time!”

Jiang Shicheng roared, “Don’t keep fighting. Think of a way to escape.”

Jiang Shicheng was not weak. He had an early-stage fifth level Qi Refinement realm cultivation. His saber techniques and movement techniques had already reached Outstanding.

“Yes.”

“Attack!”

“…”

Liu Erdan and the others erupted with their full strength. Their spirit energy shook as they used different spells to fight the giant wolf pack.

Although Liu Erdan and the others were slightly inferior to Jiang Shicheng, they were only at the fourth level Qi Refinement realm and had only mastered their spells and movement techniques, they still blocked the siege of the ferocious wolf pack.

Roar! Roar!

The exact number of giant wolves reached 158. These giant wolves ranged from the first level of Qi Refinement to the fifth level of Qi Refinement. Most of them were at the first level of Qi Refinement. There was only one white-furred wolf king at the fifth level of Qi Refinement.

A gust of wind blew.

From the corner of his eye, Qi Ming saw four giant wolves rushing over from four directions, bringing with them waves of stench.

Clang!

Qi Ming drew his sword and stood up. The Chen Clan’s Demon Slaying Sword drew a full moon beside him and executed the Green Cloud Sword Technique. The four giant wolves were instantly killed by Qi Ming’s sword.

The broken corpses fell to the ground along with their colorful internal organs and intestines.

These giant wolves could not even get within ten meters of Qi Ming.

“You!”

The black-haired, blue-eyed demon cultivator’s eyes narrowed, “A sword technique at the Perfection realm.”

“Senior Brother!”

Jiang Shicheng and the others looked excited.

Haha!

They were right. Senior Brother was indeed strong!

Those words earlier were just a joke.

At this moment, outside the Heavenly Chief Mystic Realm, in the pavilion above the center of the basin.

This time, for the Outer Sect Assessment, there were a total of twelve inner sect elders and three legacy elders. Among the three legacy elders, there was Elder Feng of the Green Cloud Peak, and the other two were Elder Su of the Martial Illumination Peak and Elder Wu of the Golden Root Peak.

As for the twelve inner sect elders, one person from each peak came.

“Recently, I’ve heard rumors that the Heavenly Chief Inheritance has appeared in the Heavenly Chief Mystic Realm? Moreover, the rumors are quite accurate and can even be traced.”

Elder Feng sat on the three main seats in the loft. He picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea, “Do any of you know the details?”

“This…”

Below, the twelve inner sect elders sat at their respective seats. After hearing Elder Feng’s words, they looked at each other and fell silent.

Clearly, they did not know what was going on.

More importantly…

Even if there were inner sect elders who knew some inside information, they did not dare to say it here.

“Elder Feng.”

Elder Su coughed lightly and looked at Elder Feng. He explained, “You don’t have to ask anymore. This matter was done by me.”

“Elder Su.”

Elder Feng frowned and was a little puzzled. “Why did you do that? Why did you have to involve the demon cultivators in a proper Outer Sect Assessment?”

“Recently, the matter of the Demon Sect spy has caused quite a commotion in the Heaven Enlightenment Sect. Wu Zhaofeng’s side has specially seized this opportunity to find many Demon Sect spies. However, besides the spies, there are also demon cultivators of the Demon Court who have infiltrated.”

Elder Su continued to explain, “Therefore, I deliberately spread the news and rumors of the Heavenly Chief Inheritance. For this, I spent a lot of effort.”

“The goal is to lure out the demon cultivators hiding in the twelve peaks during this Outer Sect Assessment.”

“How absurd!” Elder Wu stood up and slapped the armrest of his chair angrily as he shouted, “Elder Su, you didn’t even tell me before setting up such a trap. Do you know how dangerous it will be for the servant disciples of the twelve peaks who are participating in the Outer Sect Assessment if there are really hidden demon cultivators who are lured in?”

“They’re just servant disciples.” Elder Su said indifferently, “So what if they die?”

“You!” Elder Wu’s expression became even darker. He said in a low voice, “Even if they are servant disciples, they are still a part of our Heaven Enlightenment Sect. How can we casually throw them into danger?”

In fact, at the beginning, Elder Wu had been a servant disciple. He had walked step by step from a servant disciple to his current position as a legacy elder of the Golden Root Peak.

Only Elder Wu knew what he had experienced during this period.

Elder Su said again, “Elder Wu, if I remember correctly, you were also a servant disciple. How many calamities have you experienced to reach this point?”

“How can you see a rainbow without first experiencing wind and rain?”

“I don’t know how many demon cultivators are hiding among the 120 servant disciples. This is because these ‘demon cultivators’ have special methods to hide their demonic qi. Unless it’s accidentally leaked, it’s very difficult to notice under normal circumstances.”

“If these servant disciples are able to walk out of this calamity, they will naturally be worthy of being called ‘outstanding’ in all aspects. Only then can they be considered to have passed the test.”

“Furthermore, I have also set up some methods. Not many people will die.”

“Bullsh*t!”

Elder Wu scolded, “Su Zixu, I don’t know what you’re up to. If something really happens to the disciples of my Golden Root Peak, I won’t let it go easily.”

“I’ve already reported this to the Sect Master. He has also agreed to it.”

Elder Su shrugged his shoulders and did not care at all.

“Forget it.”

Elder Feng waved his hand. “The two of you don’t have to argue anymore. Since it has already happened, we can only do this. Moreover, the Sect Master has already agreed.”

“Damn it!”

Elder Wu was still very unhappy.

“Qi Ming.” Elder Feng was in deep thought, “I hope you won’t die in the hands of the demon cultivators.”

Clearly, Elder Feng and the others did not plan to stop the Outer Sect Assessment. Instead, they let this Outer Sect Assessment continue under such circumstances. The twelve inner sect elders did not dare to say anything and could only pretend that they did not hear anything.

In the Heavenly Chief Mystic Realm, at the intersection of the Sword Edge Mountain Range and the Sunset Valley.

Jiang Shicheng and the others were surrounded by the giant wolves. The situation was dangerous and dangerous. Liu Erdan and the other two were already injured, while Qi Ming was fighting the demon cultivator.

“I didn’t expect to meet a genius here.”

The blue-haired, black-eyed demon cultivator seemed to be excited. Demonic qi surged around him and gathered on his arms.

Thus…

His arms turned into a pair of demonic blue wolf claws.
