Chapter 75: Fleeing for Life

!!

At the Immortal-Decaying Sect headquarters, green-white gas flowed in the bronze ancient tripod, and the consciousness of the demonic rogue cultivators was in the tripod.

The immortal eye opened, projecting a light screen, with rankings flowing on the light screen.

The Sect Master and Vice Sect Master were looking at the excellent performance of the top few people.

"Look at this person from Kunlun City, he's not bad. He recites the Rebirth Mantra before killing, quite ritualistic."

"I heard he was a monk in a temple before, advocating killing to become a Buddha, and killed quite a few people in secret. When the abbot found out, he wanted to beat him to death. Seeing the matter exposed, he smashed the Buddha statue and ran away in advance. He came to our Immortal-Decaying Sect to see if the Immortal-Decaying supports his advocacy."

"That little guy from Quhe Prefecture also has ideas. Killing relatives, controlling children to kill fathers, controlling grandsons to kill grandfathers, and refining people into puppets after death."

"Oh, this is interesting. Smashing the load-bearing wall, the building collapsed, smashing quite a few people to death. Very good, very good, poison should be used like this."

The two commented enthusiastically on the top-ranked cultivators. Being able to rank in the forefront meant they were all ruthless people, and they had a high probability of being promoted to high-level positions in the future.

"What about the three little guys who performed excellently in the first two trials?"

The two scrolled on the light screen for a long time before finding Lu Yang and the other three, discovering they were discussing whether to go to the brothel.

The Vice Sect Master was very dissatisfied with the three's ranking: "Ranking so low, could it be righteous path spies who don't know how to do bad things?"

The Sect Master shook his head with experience: "Can't think like that. I see this Lu Yang is a person with ideas. He should have a plan to amaze everyone with a single feat. You must know that doing bad things doesn't have to be just for the moment; long-term planning is the best choice."

Seeing Lu Yang had no movement, the two slid the light screen to the very top to see what bad things the first place had done.

"The first place is a poison user, putting poison in the well, killing a whole street at once, and also poisoning the cattle, making the cattle go crazy, rushing on the street, hitting quite a few people to death. Very good, very good, poison should be used like this."

"What kind of strange method is this? Buying up a large area of shops and then dismissing all the shop assistants."

"The one below is similar to him, after buying the shop, letting the shop assistants work overtime and not paying wages? Does this count as a bad thing?"

The Vice Sect Master felt he couldn't keep up with the times.

Suddenly, an extremely powerful soul descended from the sky, breaking through the various arrays set up by the headquarters, and rushed straight to the bronze ancient tripod floating with chaotic aura!

The bronze ancient tripod seemed unable to withstand such a barbaric impact, and a small crack appeared on the surface!

"Not good, my tripod!" the Sect Master shouted.

The bronze ancient tripod was named the Mountain and River Tripod, capable of containing all things. It was his natal magic treasure that he had spent half his life refining, only a line away from an immortal treasure!

"It's a soul descent. A righteous path power has discovered this place!" The Sect Master couldn't believe it. What exactly happened? How could it be discovered by a righteous path power in the blink of an eye?!

"This aura... is it Congwendao Sect's Yun Zhi?!" The Sect Master felt the familiar aura, remembered some terrible past events, and felt a chill down his spine.

The Vice Sect Master showed a fierce look, took out his weapon, and prepared to kill her: "Yun Zhi? Just a disciple of the Congwendao Sect. At most one person. We call everyone, swarm up, can't we take her down?"

Yun Zhi rarely took action and didn't have a prominent reputation on the Central Continent. The reputation of a Sect Master, eight elders, and even Dai Bufan of the Congwendao Sect was much greater than hers.

But not having a prominent reputation didn't mean her strength wasn't good. Anyone who had seen her take action felt it subverted their understanding of cultivation!

It just so happened that the Sect Master had seen the scene of Yun Zhi taking action—plucking stars and taking moons, reversing yin and yang, suppressing strong enemies with a casual wave. He really felt his three thousand years of cultivation had been practiced on a dog.

The Sect Master kicked the Vice Sect Master over. Was this the time to fight for his life? "You haven't seen her take action, don't know how terrible she is. Listen to me, run quickly. If you run late, even the Immortal-Decaying can't save you!"

He could become the Sect Master of the Immortal-Decaying Sect not only because he was the most devout to the Immortal-Decaying and had the highest cultivation, but more importantly, he was cautious enough to know when to fight for his life, when to flee for his life, and when to accept his fate.

Going head-to-head with Yun Zhi wasn't called fighting for his life; it was called accepting his fate!

The Sect Master hit the Mountain and River Tripod with ancient mysterious imprints, preventing Yun Zhi from rushing out.

The Vice Branch Master had never seen the Branch Master lose his composure like this before. He also realized the severity of the situation, sending sound transmissions to all high-level members, issuing a strict order to flee immediately to the backup headquarters.

The Immortal-Decaying Sect had formulated detailed contingency plans and escape routes for righteous path sneak attacks and had conducted multiple drills. The high-level members were quite familiar with this set.

In the blink of an eye, the high-level members of the Immortal-Decaying Sect fled until not even a shadow could be seen.

The Sect Master used the great divine power of three heads and six arms, two imprints, continued to reinforce the seal of the Mountain and River Tripod, and four hands let the consciousness of others in the Mountain and River Tripod return to their original positions.

The cracks in the Mountain and River Tripod became more and more, and the sealing speed couldn't keep up with the speed at which the cracks appeared.

Seeing that everyone had successfully fled, the Sect Master breathed a sigh of relief, cut off the connection with the Mountain and River Tripod, and vomited a mouthful of essence blood. This was the backlash from his natal magic treasure.

His aura dropped rapidly, his face pale as paper.

The Sect Master couldn't care about so much, turned around, and ran!

Boom—

The Mountain and River Tripod shattered, shaking the entire headquarters.

Yun Zhi walked out of the Mountain and River Tripod, expressionless, like an ancient legendary Valkyrie, sacred and inviolable!

She bent down, wiped the essence blood left by the Sect Master with her fingertips, pinched it, and calculated. A cold light flashed in her eyes.

"In that direction."

She condensed a scorching white light in her hand, like a brilliant heavenly thunder that would destroy all evil.

The white light heavenly thunder flew toward the Sect Master with a swoosh. The Sect Master didn't expect that even like this, he could still be discovered by Yun Zhi. He wanted to dodge but it was too late, and a splash of blood pierced his shoulder.

"Cicada shedding its shell!" The Sect Master had quite a few life-saving moves.

When Yun Zhi caught up, only a remnant body of the Sect Master remained.

The Sect Master stumbled back to the backup headquarters, stuffing life-extending pills into his mouth like they were free, forcibly cutting off the connection with the Mountain and River Tripod, and performing the Cicada shedding its shell secret method. After two rounds of strikes, he wouldn't be able to recover without hundreds of years of quiet cultivation.

These were all easy to say, the most important thing was the Mountain and River Tripod!

That was a precious tripod refined with the strength of the entire sect. The heavenly materials and earthly treasures consumed could catch up to the tax revenue of the Great Xia Dynasty for ten years!

Such a treasure had fallen into the hands of the Congwendao Sect just like that!

"How do you feel?" The Vice Sect Master asked with concern. He had seen Yun Zhi take action just now and was terrified. If it were him, he would have been cold long ago. It was only because the Sect Master had great ability that he could still live.

"Can't die." The Sect Master also had lingering fears, "Fortunately, we had a contingency plan, prepared a hiding place in advance, and isolated the cause and effect. Yun Zhi couldn't find us, otherwise the Four Great Demonic Sects should be changed to the Three Great Demonic Sects."

"The Mountain and River Tripod is broken, so the third trial ends here. Let's see who is in first place now."

The immortal eye projected a light screen, with a name written on it.

First place, Lu Yang.

"Hmm?"
