"Let's do this!"

After a round of discussion, the white-templed cultivator said, "How many God General Mountain tokens were issued in total?"

He looked at the ninth cultivator.

The cultivator sitting in the ninth position was a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man said, "About four thousand six hundred in total!"

"Good!" the white-templed cultivator said, "We can ignore those cultivators who didn't even get a token!"

"As for the cultivators who got tokens, we will test them one more time!"

"What?" the woman in the second seat was startled, "Wang Shixiong, this... this is useless!"

"They've already been tested once. If we let them come back, if that person is deliberately hiding it, we won't be able to find out!"

"That's right, Wang Shixiong!"

"Exactly!"

"That's how it is!"

The others also expressed their agreement.

The white-templed cultivator smiled and said, "You're wrong; I didn't mean to have them come here to test!"

"But rather... hehehe..."

"Just a psychological test!"

The female cultivator was puzzled: "Psychological test?"

"Yes!" the Wang Shixiong nodded, "Have the City Lord's Mansion's guard unit go out and notify every cultivator who obtained the qualification to go to the God General Mountain, telling them, 'I suspect you cheated during the test, so we are going to conduct a re-test on you; the test time will be after you board the ship.' Tell this to every single cultivator!"

"Hehehe..." the white-templed cultivator laughed proudly at his own idea: "Guess what the person who truly cheated will do?"

The female cultivator said, "I understand... they definitely won't dare to board the ship, and might even run!"

"Exactly!"

"That's it!"

"Wang Shixiong is brilliant!"

"Once that happens, we will lock onto the specific person!"

"Wang Shixiong is brilliant!"

Everyone showered him with praise!

The Wang Shixiong said, "Go, have your guard unit notify everyone without fail. Can you find everyone?"

The guard leader said, "Yes, everyone registered their residence!"

Because of this decision by the City Lord's Mansion, the next day, two guard members wearing golden robes came to He Pingsheng's small courtyard.

One was at the seventh layer of Foundation Establishment, the other at the tenth layer.

The two sat in the lobby on the first floor of He Pingsheng's place, looking at him.

"He Kunlun, do you understand what we just said?" the tenth-layer Foundation Establishment cultivator looked at He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng was calm on the surface, but his heart was in turmoil: Damn it, how could this be discovered?

This...

"I understand!" He Pingsheng cupped his hands: "Two fellow daoists, rest assured, I will definitely participate in the test on time!"

"Good!" the golden-robed man waved his hand: "As long as you know!"

The two left.

He Pingsheng closed the courtyard gate and sat back down.

He frowned.

What to do?

He had been discovered!

Should he... just run?

No... absolutely not...

After this thought popped into his mind, He Pingsheng immediately extinguished it.

Since the other party had their eyes on him, if he ran now, he definitely wouldn't get away.

And once he fled, that would be an admission of guilt.

Right now, they only suspected him, but if he ran, he'd be confessing without being asked.

But if he didn't run, and was found out, his life would likely be forfeit.

Heaven knows what they were testing those nine dragons for?

Perhaps they wanted to find a cultivator with a special constitution to possess?

He Pingsheng couldn't stay calm for a moment.

Staying wasn't an option, and neither was leaving.

Of course, even if he wanted to leave, he couldn't leave immediately.

He thought of a method: invisibility.

That's right!

After the 【Hundred Invisibility Talismans】 given by Qiao Huizhu last time were strengthened into two 【Invisibility Talismans】, he had only used one.

The other one was still on him.

"Alright..." He Pingsheng finally made a decision: he would use this invisibility talisman to leave.

But he couldn't leave right away; he had to make a detailed plan first.

How to run?

Just as He Pingsheng was pondering how to escape, there was a commotion outside his courtyard gate, which made his hair stand on end, and he jumped up from his chair.

After opening the gate, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The person who came wasn't the City Lord's Mansion's guard unit, but his old friend Wang Dun.

"Why are you here?" He Pingsheng looked at Wang Dun and asked.

Wang Dun said urgently, "Don't speak, close the gate... come inside and talk!"

"Alright!"

The two closed the courtyard gate and walked into the small building.

They went straight to the third floor, and He Pingsheng activated all the arrays on the third floor.

Only then did Wang Dun take a deep breath and say, "It's over, it's over, it's over... Little brother, that damn City Lord's Mansion guard unit just told me they suspect I cheated during the test and want to re-test me!"

"Damn it, these people are really too sharp!"

"I've thought about it for a long time; they used this nine-dragon mirror to test us, likely to precisely find the person who could see all nine dragons on it..."

He Pingsheng nodded: "Seems like it!"

Wang Dun added, "Heaven knows what they want these people for?"

"Maybe it's a good thing, maybe it's a life-threatening thing, but I don't dare to gamble!"

"Little brother, I originally said I'd take you over at the God General Mountain!"

"That's not possible now!"

"I have to escape!"

"I told you before, damn it, I really saw all the dragons, I'm not bragging!"

"I'm running!"

"But before I run, I still have to tell you!"

"Later, if anyone asks about our relationship, you damn well better not sell me out!"

He Pingsheng said, "Don't worry, I'll just say you came to me to refine pills!"

"Good!" Wang Dun said, "Little brother, until we meet again..."

After speaking, Wang Dun left directly.

He Pingsheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Regardless, it was definitely good that this kid Wang Dun escaped.

Because once Wang Dun ran, all the focus would be on him.

The pressure on him would be much lighter.

Let's wait and see.

Dawn!

City Lord's Mansion!

A guard captain wearing a golden robe ran urgently to the outside of a certain great hall.

"Elder... it's bad!"

"Someone escaped!"

Inside the great hall, an elder hurriedly opened the hall door and the array, saying, "Escaped?"

"Yes!"

"Who?"

"Wang Dun!"

"Who is Wang Dun?" The white-templed cultivator's eyes were as sharp as a knife as he looked at the golden-robed youth.

The golden-robed youth didn't even dare to breathe: "It's... it's..."

"Don't be wishy-washy... speak!"

"Yes!" The golden-robed youth took a deep breath and said, "It's... the number one on the Long Yin Ranking!"

Slap...

The white-templed cultivator suddenly raised his hand and struck a fierce blow, but it landed on the outside of his own thigh: "Damn... damn it... how could I have forgotten about the Long Yin Ranking!"

"It's him... it's definitely him!"

"It must be him, no mistake!"

"Have you caught him?"

【Sorry to all my benefactors, I went to the hospital again yesterday... The good news is, they didn't find any problems; the bad news is, they didn't find any problems.】
