Assessment?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yi pondered, “You want to recruit Zhang Zhongyan into the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xianxiang nodded, “He is the deputy city lord of Tianyuan City and has great strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I can recommend him to join the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect, I can not only gain merit but also enjoy substantial benefits.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For the sake of refining a magical treasure, he completed the task of collecting blood beads from five hundred young girls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he refused the real assessment task of collecting five thousand blood beads and tried to test me in various ways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, he has become suspicious of me and even tried to threaten me with this matter…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since it’s like this, he naturally deserves to die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, I intended to kill him personally, but he’s on guard against me, and I can’t make a move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You guys just happened to find me, so I thought of using you to kill him indirectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Lin Chen and the others already understood the whole story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xianxiang saw that Zhang Zhongyan had both power and strength and was willing to kill people without hesitation to improve his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This clearly met the mental standards of a disciple of the Refining Path, so he intended to recruit him into the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, Zhang Zhongyan was not an easy target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried to turn the tables and threaten Xu Xianxiang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xianxiang felt that his identity might be exposed, so he let Lin Chen and the others, who just happened to show up, kill Zhang Zhongyan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xianxiang calculated everything, but he did not expect that Lin Chen had dealt with the Refining Path and deeply despised it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Xu Xianxiang’s imagination, the Bandit King is someone who kills people like it’s second nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would the Bandit King care about what Zhang Zhongyan said?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single misstep leads to a series of mistakes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After listening for a while, Lin Chen learned quite a bit about the internal affairs of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, there was not a single piece of truly valuable information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How long ago was your last sect gathering?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“More than twenty years ago.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lifespan of cultivators was long, and the interval between sect gatherings was also quite long, which was obviously not conducive to investigation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How many people are there in your sect, roughly?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xianxiang answered, “About seven to eight hundred people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t know if it’s all of them, but that’s how many people were there at the last gathering.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen asked, “Do you know about the Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Array?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xianxiang answered, “Of course, it is an exclusive and secret technique of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the technique was lost during the ancient battle…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen was slightly disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xianxiang’s last sect gathering was more than twenty years ago, and the Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Array appeared after the exploration of the True Dragon Secret Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was normal for him not to know about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, Lin Chen thought that Xu Xianxiang, being a Master Refiner and at the Void stage, should be a big fish and may know a lot of important information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after interrogating him, he found that Xu Xianxiang may be a big fish, but one that operates independently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen asked in detail and learned that all the disciples of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect had upright identities and were hidden in the world, just like Xu Xianxiang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If exposed, who would know that such a famous Master Refiner was actually a remnant of the ancient evil sect, the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How can I meet your contact?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen asked, but in his heart, he couldn’t help but sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect were as careful as spies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder they could survive for so long without being completely rooted out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One day’s journey north of the city, there is a canyon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the canyon, there is a sacrificial altar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I want to see him, I go to the altar and start it in a special way, and he will come to meet me as soon as possible.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen’s eyes lit up, “How long do I have to wait?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Within three to five days.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to the side, Luo Yuan turned his head and said, “Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin, this is a clue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If we can catch this contact, we might be able to dig deeper up the chain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They all use vertical contact; digging up one or two people might lead us to important core members of their sect.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen felt that Luo Yuan’s words made sense, “Shall we give it a try?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Yuan affirmed, “I think we can try.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other party is only one person, and we have so many people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter who comes, they won’t be able to escape.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen nodded, “Alright, let’s give it a try.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Yuan said, “We shouldn’t delay; we should make arrangements immediately, lest someone with ulterior motives learns about the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the commotion from your battle was so loud that it’s hard to guarantee that the news won’t spread.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen readily agreed, “Okay, let’s go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone, with Xu Xianxiang in tow, flew to the canyon north of the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They arrived at the canyon described by Xu Xianxiang after a day’s journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The canyon was located in a very desolate area with no cities for thousands of miles around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire canyon was filled with weeds and shrubs, a completely primitive forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following Xu Xianxiang’s directions, the group found the sacrificial altar he mentioned on an inconspicuous mound covered with vegetation in the valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This altar resembled a small pyramid with various ancient runes covering it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One couldn’t tell how many years had passed, and the altar was completely covered in vines, making it difficult to approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Yuan put down Xu Xianxiang he was holding, “Go on, contact your contact.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xianxiang stood on the ground without moving, “I can’t do it like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I need to use a large amount of spiritual energy, and only I can activate it; you can’t replace me…”\u003C\u002Fp>",1056,"2026-06-06T01:51:59.243Z",1,"novelbin.me","f4d04215f6c19ba69b364c4f1d633ac9054d3f01ee6db36944762ae2d93d3a0f","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-1055","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-1053",4071,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Furban-peerless-expert-cover.jpg"]
