Chapter 683: Illusion Test

Ye Lin's rambling words shocked the Hall Master of the No-Thought Hall in the dark.

Although she didn't understand this passage, she keenly captured several keywords.

Clansmen!

Immune to Heavenly Tribulation!

"You mean... you used your blood relatives to carry the heavenly condemnation brought by the forbidden spiritual root for you?"

The voice of the Hall Master of the No-Thought Hall trembled slightly.

She had heard of such secret methods that could confuse the Heavenly Tribulation with the blood of close relatives.

But she didn't expect that someone would actually do this.

"Yes."

Ye Lin showed the Ten Thousand Soul Banner and pulled the Ye family members out together.

Their Ye family ascended as a clan; this couldn't be fake.

*Swish! *

A figure appeared suddenly, and a rich fragrance hit the nose.

A woman in a black dress appeared before Ye Lin's eyes, her eyebrows like paintings, her skin like fat, beautiful beyond compare.

A pair of fox eyes should have been charming, but at this moment they carried a faint coldness.

"I will teach you a magic formula; follow me and learn."

The Hall Master of the No-Thought Hall's green jade fingers made a strange gesture and then pointed at Ye Lin's brow.

Ye Lin instantly felt a nameless fire ignite in his body!

He roughly understood what the function of the magic formula the Hall Master of the No-Thought Hall taught him was.

He learned the appearance of the Hall Master of the No-Thought Hall just now and pointed a finger, but in his heart, he recited silently.

"Forbidden Spell: Joy-Emptiness Dual Operation!"

A strange warmth suddenly appeared on the Hall Master of the No-Thought Hall's fair face, and there was an extra charm in those fox eyes.

But this abnormality was quickly suppressed by her.

"What a powerful talent!"

The Hall Master of the No-Thought Hall couldn't help but sigh; she had already sealed her love and affection for many years, but just now, she actually moved her heart to the mortal world!

At this moment, she was already convinced that even if Ye Lin was not a forbidden Primordial Spiritual Root, he was definitely a genius.

"Your talent is so good, why not join a righteous sect, but want to join my Joyous Union Sect? With your talent, joining an Imperial-grade Immortal Sect shouldn't be difficult, right?" The Hall Master of the No-Thought Hall asked in a deep voice.

Ye Lin revealed a bitter smile, a smile that contained an indescribable sorrow.

And then he covered his face and laughed wildly in pain.

"Ha↓ha↓ha↓ha↓, ha↑ha↑ha↑ha↑ha↑ha↑!"

"How would you know, Hall Master, that I haven't joined a major sect? Do you know, Hall Master, the Heavenly Secret Ancient Hall?"

The Hall Master of the No-Thought Hall nodded.

The Heavenly Secret Ancient Hall is a proper Imperial-grade Immortal Sect; although it is not in the Eastern Profound, she naturally had heard of it.

"Actually... I was once an outer disciple of the Heavenly Secret Ancient Hall."

"At that time, I went down the mountain to get spiritual medicine for the sect, but was sneak-attacked by a master from a hostile sect, and my dantian was shattered into waste."

"I was loyal to the Heavenly Secret Ancient Hall, but I didn't want them to treat my sincerity as dung and expel me from the Heavenly Secret Ancient Hall!"

"In despair, I jumped off a cliff, wanting to end my life; fortunately, heaven does not cut off all paths, and after I fell off the cliff, I ate an unknown heavenly treasure, and my dantian was completely restored!"

"For the rest of my life, all my goals have been only one, and that is to take revenge on the Heavenly Secret Ancient Hall!"

Ye Lin's eyes were scarlet, breathing like a cow, as if he had really suffered a great grievance.

The Hall Master of the No-Thought Hall remained silent.

Although Ye Lin's excuse was very good, she still felt that something was not quite right.

I saw her turn her plain hand, and a crystal-clear little bug appeared in her palm.

The moment this little bug appeared, the Hall Master of the No-Thought Hall's aura was clearly disordered.

"This is my life-bound love *gu*; if you are indeed sincere in wanting to join my No-Thought Hall, this *gu* bug will help you cultivate; if you have ulterior motives..."

Before the Hall Master of the No-Thought Hall finished speaking, Ye Lin snatched the *gu* bug from her hand and swallowed it into his belly.

The speed of the action made even the Hall Master of the No-Thought Hall stunned for a moment.

"Don't you ask, what is the consequence of betrayal?"

"No need to ask, because I am a person of the No-Thought Hall in life and a ghost of the No-Thought Hall in death; I can make a Dao oath; if there is a single false word, let me be struck by five thunders from heaven, never dying!"

Ye Lin didn't say a word and started with a Dao oath.

The Hall Master of the No-Thought Hall's gaze toward him also softened a lot.

A person who can take his own blood relatives to block the tribulation must be as hard as iron; this clearly fits the philosophy of their No-Thought Hall.

Coupled with that heaven-defying talent, it seems that their No-Thought Hall has really recruited a good seedling this time!

"Then, there is only one last step left."

A strange fluctuation emerged from the Hall Master of the No-Thought Hall's body.

"This Hall Master wants to see, are you really a person of the demonic path!"

The green-white jade finger pointed at Ye Lin's brow; Ye Lin only felt the world spinning before his eyes; he seemed to have guessed something and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

"Why is it an illusion again..."

Ye Lin's memory was quickly sealed, and when he woke up again, he was wearing blood-stained armor, appearing on a battlefield.

A person who looked like a small soldier quickly rushed toward him.

"General! This city is probably not going to be defended; please leave quickly!"

Ye Lin's head hurt, and a large segment of memory flooded into his mind.

Ye Lin's current identity is a Great General, responsible for guarding the border.

A month ago, the enemy country invaded and began to attack the city on a large scale.

He defended for a month, but did not wait for reinforcements; the imperial court had abandoned them!

Now, the city can be said to be running out of ammunition and food, the defending army has suffered heavy casualties, and the food is almost eaten up; the soldiers are all exhausted and hungry.

More importantly, due to the heavy casualties, the corpses piled up in the city also broke out in a plague.

Ye Lin's cultivation as a cultivator had been sealed; at this moment, he really thought he was a city-guarding general who loved his soldiers like his own children.

After organizing the memories in his mind, Ye Lin's expression was extremely solemn.

Judging from the situation in front of him, this city is definitely not going to be defended.

Their remaining defending army is less than twenty thousand, and outside the city, there are still thirty thousand enemy troops!

Once the city is broken, there will absolutely be no avoiding the fate of being slaughtered.

"General! Leave quickly! It doesn't matter if we die; as long as you are still alive, there is still hope!"

The small soldier knelt on the ground, crying bitterly!

Outside the illusion, the Hall Master of the No-Thought Hall and Joy Elder were observing the situation in the illusion.

The other Elders of the Joyous Union Sect heard the news that the No-Thought Hall had recruited a Primordial Spiritual Root and also rushed over one after another.

"Hall Master, you let him enter this illusion, do you want to examine his character?" Joy Elder asked.

"Not bad."

The Hall Master of the No-Thought Hall nodded.

"In this situation, clearly there is no hope of victory anymore."

"We often call ourselves people of the demonic path, but... what exactly is the demonic path?"

"There is a saying that the Dao is one foot high and the demon is ten feet high; the so-called demonic path does not actually refer to our arts, but our thoughts and actions!"

"The true demonic path should be selfish, putting one's own interests first, doing whatever it takes to achieve one's goals, and not being trapped by external things like reputation, dignity, and face."

"If this Ye Xiehong decides to stay in the city and die for the sake of righteousness, it means he is actually not suitable for joining the demonic path; it's better to refine him into a cauldron."

"As the saying goes, as long as the green hills remain, there is no need to worry about firewood; the true demonic path should be decisive and abandon the city and flee without hesitation!" ===== CHAPTER 684 =====
