Chapter 72: The Three Heroes of the Demonic Sect (Thanks to book friends

~8 min read 1,466 words

Among the ten interviewees, Lu Yang was in the sixth position. He also noticed that the people in front ran out as soon as they entered the examiner's room. As soon as they entered, they ran out at a hundred-meter sprint speed, then ran back, going back and forth several times.

"What kind of strange exam question is this?"

Lu Yang was someone who couldn't sit still. The rules required that candidates were not allowed to ask about the interview content, but it didn't say they couldn't go out to take a look.

Lu Yang asked a demonic rogue cultivator next to him who was closing his eyes and resting: "Do you want to go out and take a look?"

The demonic rogue cultivator looked at Lu Yang with contempt, smiled coldly, and didn't say anything.

How could demonic path practitioners act collectively? It must be a trap for him. No way, not going.

Seeing the other party didn't answer, Lu Yang felt pity.

Looks quite handsome, it's just a pity he's deaf. I don't know what he will do if he can't hear what the examiner says during the interview later?

Seeing no one paid attention to him, Lu Yang walked outside.

Outside was a bustling market. Fruit sellers, egg sellers, pork sellers... common food could be found here. The vendors either set up a stall or pushed a small cart and shouted to sell.

"Give me an apple." Lu Yang bought an apple, wiped it, and ate it, observing the behavior of the interviewees while eating.

It just so happened that the third person ran out to see if there were potatoes for sale. Seeing there were potatoes, he immediately went back to report to the examiner.

In less than three minutes, the third person ran out again, asking the old man selling potatoes how much the potatoes were per jin and how many jin of potatoes there were in total.

Another three minutes passed, still the third person, running out to check the quality of the potatoes.

Then it was the fourth person. The process was basically the same as the third person, the only difference being that he ran four times, not as flexible as the third person.

Lu Yang ate the apple, thoughtful.

"Next one, Fang Hao," the chubby examiner shouted.

Fang Hao was the person Lu Yang asked whether to go out together just now.

"Here!" Surprisingly, Fang Hao wasn't a mute.

"Go to the market and see if there are any potatoes for sale," the chubby examiner repeated the trick.

Fang Hao ran out in a hurry and didn't return for a long time, which made the chubby examiner very strange.

Just when the chubby examiner was getting impatient, Fang Hao returned: "There are no potatoes for sale in the market."

"How many jin of potatoes... wait, what did you say? There are no potatoes for sale?"

Fang Hao didn't understand why the chubby examiner had such a big reaction, nodded and said: "Right, I ran around the market twice and confirmed there are no potatoes for sale."

"This is impossible!" The chubby examiner felt Fang Hao was lying to him, so he ran out in a hurry, with Fang Hao following closely behind.

As soon as the chubby examiner went out, he saw Lu Yang pushing a cart of potatoes, with "Potatoes not for sale" written on the cart.

The old man who should have been selling potatoes was happily counting silver coins on the side.

As soon as Lu Yang saw the chubby examiner, he pushed the potatoes and ran. The chubby examiner was angry. If the potatoes ran away, how could the subsequent interviews be conducted?

"You stop for me!!"

Lu Yang passed the trial.

"Unreasonable!" The Vice Sect Master was furious. A barbaric and terrifying aura was released, and the entire hall was shaking. Ripples appeared on the pool surface, making it impossible to see the scene clearly.

The trial he carefully designed was full of loopholes in front of these two disasters; it was simply a great humiliation!

The Sect Master calmly covered the Vice Sect Master's aura. It wasn't easy to build a hall in a place that wasn't easy to discover; if it were discovered by the righteous path because of such things, it would be a joke.

The Sect Master advised: "Don't get angry so easily. Now they have forgotten everything, only remembering to try every means to pass the trial. We are the Demonic Sect, focusing on killing to resurrect the Immortal-Decaying. How can we kill people because of such things?"

"Furthermore, these two people found another way, they are rare talents. The Immortal-Decaying Sect has developed to this day without any major breakthroughs. I think these two are the hope."

The Vice Sect Master felt there was no hope for the Immortal-Decaying Sect.

The Sect Master said with some excitement: "Speaking of which, this Man Gu, and Meng Jingzhou and Lu Yang, are all from Yanjiang Prefecture."

"I didn't expect the small Yanjiang Prefecture to produce three talents. It's no exaggeration to call them the Three Heroes of the Demonic Sect. My Demonic Sect having these three heroes is like a tiger adding wings!"

The Vice Sect Master muttered in a low voice: "Like a tiger adding wings, isn't that Qiongqi? Qiongqi can't beat the righteous path either."

The Sect Master glared at him: "It shows you have culture. Shut up."

The Vice Sect Master shut up obediently.

Yanjiang Branch.

Eleven deacons used all their strength to maintain the array. Nearly a hundred demonic rogue cultivators stood blankly in place, their eyes dull, having lost their sanity, their thoughts replacing their true bodies to undergo the trial.

The process of maintaining the array was too boring. The deacons chatted while eating Qi-Returning Pills: "Qin Yuanhao has been missing for so long; I'm afraid he's already dead."

"Definitely dead. It's just that I don't know how he died. I said long ago that this kid was calculating this and that all day, feeling everything was under control, and sooner or later he would anger an enemy and get killed on a dark and windy night."

"Qin Yuanhao's body hasn't been found yet."

"Was he killed by an enemy?"

"Otherwise? Could it be a benefactor who returned kindness with enmity and killed him? People in our line of work don't have benefactors."

"How come I heard that Qin Yuanhao went to the brothel with Wang Dazuiba the night before he died?"

The deacons laughed in low voices, their laughter rising and falling.

Just as Qin Yuanhao hoped, Wang Dazuiba went around proclaiming how Qin Yuanhao and he were like golden guns that never fell, killing seven in and seven out in the brothel.

Then Qin Yuanhao died.

So the rumor that Qin Yuanhao died of exhaustion spread in the Yanjiang Branch.

Presumably, if Qin Yuanhao knew about this in the underworld, he could close his eyes in peace.

"I don't know how many in this batch can pass the trial."

Don't look at the many people participating in the entrance ceremony; it would be good if one in ten could pass the trial and successfully join the sect.

They were able to become deacons because they had all experienced similar trials and knew the difficulty.

This time the Vice Sect Master presided over it personally; the difficulty was definitely among the top of all trials!

"Only the Branch Master knows the result." The eleven people looked at the Branch Master who was in meditation.

The Branch Master also used the array to enter the mysterious space built by the Immortal-Decaying Sect. All branch masters could see the performance of their respective branches in the mysterious space.

Lu Yang and the other three performed extremely excellently, making the Branch Master so happy that his face seemed to bloom like a chrysanthemum.

However, he was wearing a mask, so others couldn't see how happy he was.

He muttered excitedly: "If these three can successfully pass the trial and get a very high evaluation from above, the year-end performance of the Yanjiang Branch will definitely be in the forefront. If I operate and rotate, improve my cultivation, maybe I can be transferred to a wealthy place to be a branch master next year, or even be promoted to a hall master!"

After the three trials ended, the Vice Sect Master or Sect Master would give an evaluation to the new sect members who performed excellently in the trial. For example, Qin Yuanhao's evaluation was "Demonic nature into the bones."

The Branch Master believed Lu Yang and the other three's evaluation would definitely be higher than Qin Yuanhao's.

These three could be seen at a glance not to be good things! ===== CHAPTER 73 =====
