"Elder Hu, you've arrived. There are 14 people in total, and everyone is here now."

Zhao Heng respectfully cupped his hands and said.

"Okay, let them all come up."

An elderly man dressed in a black robe remained seated on the back of the raptor without even getting up, and spoke calmly.

"Yes, Elder Hu."

Zhao Heng nodded, then looked at everyone and said, "Junior brothers, now you all get on your flying beasts. Elder Hu will take you to the assessment area in a moment."

The crowd buzzed with discussion, and then they all leaped toward the raptor.

Unexpectedly, the feathers on the bird of prey were so slippery that they were as if they were coated with oil, and the moment the feet touched the feathers, they almost slipped off.

Fortunately, everyone was skilled, and with a straight back, they managed to stabilize themselves.

Seeing that everyone had boarded the raptors, Elder Hu didn't say much. Instead, he directly activated the raptors, which instantly soared into the sky.

A large gust of air rushed towards them with a whooshing sound, startling the group of people who quickly clung tightly to the raptor.

Even Fang Yi felt a chill run down his spine and instantly gripped one of the raptor's feathers tightly.

This is not a joke.

This raptor is so fast and flies so high that if it were to fall, even a master of the [Dragon Tendon Realm] would surely die.

call!
A raptor spreading its wings can move at an incredible speed.

The thick fog parted, and it felt like soaring through a fairyland.

"Listen up, everyone. I will tell you the location and method of this trial. I will not repeat it after we arrive at the location. If anyone feels unsure, they can choose to withdraw. I will then safely send them back."

Elder Hu remained expressionless, still sitting cross-legged on the raptor's back, motionless and unmoved, as if the powerful airflow and inertia had no effect on him.

Everyone turned pale and listened intently.

"The location of this trial is indeed the 'Desolate Forbidden Land,' just as you've heard. However, the current 'Desolate Forbidden Land' is not as terrifying as you imagine. Although there are dangers, they are within a tolerable range."

We've cleared out all the terrifying things inside, and temporarily sealed off the rest. Now only some small fish and shrimp remain. Your task is to hunt down these small fish and shrimp as much as possible.

I will give you a list, and you can choose from it later.

Remember, the more difficult the task you choose, the higher the reward.

Once the assessment is over, I will score you based on your performance. Those with excellent scores will not only receive a core disciple position, but also other rewards.

Elder Hu's voice rang out.

"Elder Hu, are there any other people besides us?"

Suddenly, a disciple turned pale and raised his hand to ask a question.

"Yes, the 'Desolate Forbidden Land' is exceptionally vast. Besides you, there are other experts from the Evil Martial lineage, including experts on the four paths of seeking gods, seeking immortals, transforming into demons, and becoming demons."

Elder Hu said.

"What if we encounter them?"

Another disciple spoke cautiously.

"If you have the ability, persuade them to help you hunt. This is permitted, and being able to persuade powerful allies is also part of your own strength."

Elder Hu said calmly.

"But what if we can't persuade them, and they turn on us instead?"

someone asked.

"Do you even need to ask?"

Elder Hu said coldly, "Since others have already made their move, are you just sitting around doing nothing? I don't care what kind of methods they use. As long as you can beat them, go ahead and fight. If anything happens, the sect will back you up. If you can't beat them, whether you live or die depends on your fate."

"Ok."

The expressions on everyone's faces changed.

This Elder Hu is truly a formidable figure.

Then other people asked questions.

Elder Hu answered each question in turn.

Several hours or so have passed.

The raptor finally carried everyone close to the 'Desolate Forbidden Land'. Looking down from the sky, everyone was extremely shocked. The entire area below was boundless and pitch black, with scorched marks all over the ground.

It's as if a huge wildfire once broke out here a long time ago; the pungent, acrid smell of burning hasn't dissipated yet.

Even the toughest rocks are covered with fine cracks.

Even after many years, not a single weed has grown on the ground.

"Is this the work of those few bigwigs?"

Some people looked shocked.

Everyone knows that ten years ago, several powerful families joined forces to reclaim the land.

The simplest way to clear land is by burning it.

"Did our Poison Sect also participate in that pioneering expedition?"

someone asked.

The ground here has clearly been poisoned, otherwise it would be impossible for plants not to grow here now.

"No, we acted afterward."

Elder Hu spoke in a calm tone.

Back then, people from the Blood Path, the Military Path, and the Heartless Path, three evil martial arts paths, secretly explored this area, but unfortunately, they provoked something they shouldn't have, resulting in heavy casualties overnight.

When they evacuated, they were asked to clear away both the poison and the Gu techniques. Even now, the ground still contains residual toxins.

Everyone couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

Elder Hu spoke lightly, but it's not hard to imagine that the disaster back then was definitely not small.

So many powerful families were involved.

"I heard that it caused some indescribable trouble back then, is that true?"

Someone asked out of curiosity.

"What indescribable thing?"

Elder Hu's tone turned cold as he said, "In the eyes of us martial artists, there is only the distinction between the strong and the weak. If you are not strong enough, you will see everyone as a monster or demon. If you are strong enough, you can smash even the most powerful monsters with one punch."

"Yes Yes."

The man's tone was sheepish.

"Hey, there's a settlement down below!"

Suddenly someone exclaimed in surprise and looked down into the swirling fog.

A vast settlement came into view.

Below, numerous figures could be seen, filling stone and wooden houses, with wisps of smoke rising from their chimneys. The area was vast, and there appeared to be at least several thousand people.

"Where there are people, there is a world of its own. Ten years have passed, and this place has long become a paradise for Mist Hunters. There are quite a few such settlements, but this is one of the larger ones."

Elder Hu said.

The giant bird flew across the sky, quickly passing over this settlement.

After flying for several dozen miles, they finally landed in an open area.

Seven or eight giant birds had been staying here for some time, and a number of people had gathered there, all of whom were examinees sent from other strongholds.

Elder Hu.

As soon as he came down, several middle-aged men came to greet him.

"Everyone is here?"

Elder Hu inquired.

"Yes, all nine outposts have arrived."

A middle-aged man responded.

"Send them the list of personnel for this mission."

Elder Hu nodded.

The two middle-aged men nodded and immediately took out a large stack of papers from their pockets, distributing seven or eight sheets each to the students.

When Fang Yi received the paper, he saw that it was covered with all sorts of names and addresses.

Each name is followed by its score.

"Did you all see that? This is the trial mission of my Poison Sect."

Elder Hu looked at everyone and said, "This list consists of either villains who have committed numerous evils and are enemies of my Poison Sect, or demons who have roamed the surrounding area and have taken revenge on my Poison Sect. Each villain or demon has their points marked behind them. You can only get points by killing them, and then you can use the points to determine your rewards."

However, I have one more thing to say.

Ordinary evildoers or demons don't receive many rewards.

If you want to become core disciples and learn from my Poison Sect's 'Poison Scripture', then try your best to complete the top three tasks.

Completing any one of these three tasks qualifies one to become a core disciple and grants access to the 'Poison Scripture'.

"The top three tasks?"

"Can I access the Poison Classic?"

A thought struck everyone, and they carefully examined the list in their hands.

Even Fang Yi's expression changed drastically.

The Poison Scripture of the Poison Sect is the foundation of the Poison Martial Arts lineage.

Besides listing the methods for refining thousands of highly toxic substances, it also points out the path for martial arts practitioners.

There are four realms of martial arts, and once you reach the final stage of 'transformation,' there is no more path to follow.

But Poison Warriors forcibly continued its path beyond 'rebirth'.

He was so eager to try it that he looked at the top three tasks on the list.

The top-ranked city is 'Night Fog Ghost City'.

The second ranked one is 'Blood Demon Wolf Ridge'.

The third place is 'Demon Town'.

"What do these three tasks mean? Why do I feel like they exude an eerie aura just from their names?"

Who named this?

"This is too eerie! A ghost town shrouded in night mist? What's going on?"

"There's more information below, take a look."

Everyone immediately began searching.

Fang Yi also flipped through the pages.

He quickly found the follow-up information.

Night Fog Ghost City, as the name suggests, is called a 'ghost city' because it had never appeared before. It suddenly appeared ten years ago, as if it had been squeezed out of a space.

After it appeared, experts from all four paths, as well as experts from the evil martial arts path, went to investigate it.

Unfortunately, no major discoveries have been made.

It is now occupied by a group of evil spirits.

Those Yin spirits are slippery and elusive. Every time the major sects are about to make a move, they will escape in advance, and when the major sects withdraw, they will reappear.

Despite several attempts to eradicate them, they were never completely wiped out.

As a result, the major evil martial arts sects designated them as sect missions.

The second mission, 'Blood Demon Wolf Ridge,' is a demon territory in the vicinity.

The leading demon was a blood wolf that had attained enlightenment.

He commanded eight hundred lesser demons who stirred up trouble here, causing countless deaths and posing a great threat.

The third mission, 'Dead Town of Demons and Ghosts,' is located in what was originally a settlement.

Back when the three great evil martial arts sects were pioneering a new frontier, they briefly joined forces to establish a huge settlement. However, they later suffered heavy casualties in the depths of the mist, and the settlement was abandoned. In the following four or five years, it was occupied by a group of people who followed the path of demons and ghosts.

This group, who follow the path of 'demons and ghosts,' is the most evil of the evil paths, and they have blood feuds with all the major evil martial arts sects.

They can not only transform other people into invulnerable demons and monsters.

He even cultivated himself into a demon.

They are even more extreme than those who follow the blood path.

According to the information, the strongest person in this Demon Ghost Death Town has most likely reached the perfect Yi Jin Jing realm, and has many experts under his command.

"Perfecting the Yi Jin Jing? With my current level of poison, why not give it a try?" Fang Yi's mind raced.

The five elements of poison within his body, once compressed, become terrifyingly potent, capable of turning an area of dozens of miles into a desolate wasteland.

If they were to launch a sneak attack, they would be extremely confident of success.

The key is.

Of these top three tasks, only this one looks somewhat normal.

Although the other party is a demon, it is still a human in disguise.

Unlike the number one Yin God or the number two Demon, neither of them are human.

"Does anyone still have any questions now?"

Elder Hu inquired.

Everyone looked at each other and fell silent.

"Is anyone willing to withdraw?"

Elder Hu said, "If you are willing to withdraw, it is still not too late. If you are not willing to withdraw, it will be too late once it begins. This trial will last for half a month. During this period, we will use puppet birds to observe you from the air. All your performances will be observed by us. We will not actually appear until half a month later."

Everyone remained silent.

"Then please take good care of yourselves."

Elder Hu turned and left.

More than a dozen giant birds took flight one after another and quickly disappeared into the mist.

The place immediately erupted in uproar.

Everyone quickly started talking and forming teams.

"Brother, what's your name? How about we join forces?"

"Brother, I am at the first level of Yi Jin Jing."

"I am at the Golden Bone Realm."

Fang Yi turned and left, intending to survey the surroundings and gather more information before making a decision.

With his strength, he has no need to join forces with others.

Teaming up with others will only make him hesitant and indecisive.

Because of his potent poison, he can poison not only enemies, but also teammates.

The scorched, black earth stretched as far as the eye could see.

A light white mist covered the surroundings.

Fang Yi moved here with unusual speed. He first circled around the nearby settlement and found that the people there were indeed very fierce. He was just trying to gather some information when he attracted three or four groups of sinister gazes.

The people here treated him like a new sheep.

That look in their eyes made me very uncomfortable.

And the reality was just as he had predicted.

As soon as he bought the map and left the settlement, three or four people immediately chased after him.

As a result, Fang Yi simply waved his hand, and the men's vision went black, they bled from all seven orifices, and died on the spot.

Fang Yi showed no courtesy to these people and ransacked them.

He then acted swiftly, heading towards the nearby 'Demon Town of the Dead'.

Nearly a hundred miles away.

The air was thick with a chilling aura, accompanied by the stench of decay, which darkened the space, making it seem as if it contained countless rotting corpses.

Fang Yi's eyes were serious as he hid in the shadows and looked ahead.

Amidst the stench of countless corpses and the chilling aura, a massive ruin came into view.

All around were charred walls, collapsed buildings, and dilapidated watchtowers, covered with tattered cloths that howled in the wind. An endless aura of malevolence and the stench of corpses permeated the air ahead, creating an indescribably terrifying atmosphere.

"Wait, does this stench of death also contain deadly poison?"

A thought flashed through Fang Yi's mind, and he instantly understood.

He didn't act rashly, but instead planned to capture one of the henchmen first and interrogate him to find out the details.

Not long after.

Fang Yi finally noticed two figures emerging from the ghost town.

They looked almost identical to normal humans, except for their pale faces. The two men wore gray robes and had smiles on their faces, as if they were heading towards a settlement a hundred miles away.

"Another bunch of fools trying to mess with our Demon Town? Little do they know, they're making a mistake."

"Hehe, every year so many reckless people come here. You can't scare them away, but I actually hope that more and more of them come. The more people come, the more abundant our food will be."

"That's true, hehe, the blood of a master of the Yi Jin Jing, just thinking about it makes me feel delicious."

"I heard that the major sects' assessments are about to begin again. I'd like to see how many reckless individuals will try to take advantage of us this time, hehe."

The two men wore sly smiles and sped off at breakneck speed, focused solely on moving forward.

Unbeknownst to them, a blurry figure had already secretly followed them.

puff!puff!
Suddenly, he flicked his fingers in quick succession, and the air made a faint, rapid sound.

Two drops of venom, compressed to their absolute limit, flew out in an instant, shooting towards the two people's bodies at lightning speed like hidden weapons.

The two men were startled, suddenly gripped by fear. Their skin crawled, and they tried to dodge quickly, but it was too late. Bang! Bang!

Ah!
Two figures were sent flying and crashed in the distance, letting out shrill screams.

The horrifying blood was like a drop of ink falling into clear water, instantly spreading all over their bodies, causing their faces to turn black rapidly, their bodies to hiss and rot quickly.

"Roar!"

The two let out painful roars, and countless black hairs rapidly sprouted from their bodies, revealing their demonic forms.

This is a secret technique of their 'Demon and Ghost Path', which allows them to refine themselves into demons and ghosts who know no pain and no fatigue. This not only greatly enhances their strength but also greatly increases their resistance to poison.

But the two soon discovered to their horror that even in their demonic forms, they could not resist the deadly poison, and their bodies were rapidly melting away, causing them unbearable pain.

Fang Yi suddenly emerged from the shadows, moving with lightning speed and striking like lightning, instantly sealing their pressure points and rendering them unable to move an inch.

"Who are you? Are you from the Poison Sect?"

One of them looked terrified.

This toxicity is so terrible.

Apart from the Poison Sect, no one else should be able to move.

"Tell me, what is the strongest person in this town?"

Fang Yi got straight to the point.

"Don't think about it!"

The man screamed in pain.

"is it?"

Fang Yi frowned, and gently stroked the man's body. The man immediately showed terror and screamed. Strange, modular plants rapidly grew from his body.
It was as if his body was being used as a nutrient container.

Waves of unbearable itching and excruciating pain washed over him, making him feel as if he were being torn apart by a thousand knives.

Logically, having cultivated the body of a demon, he should be insensitive to pain and numb, but at this moment he felt intense, unbearable pain in his body.

Ah!
Within ten minutes, Fang Yi learned everything he wanted to know, killed both of them, and frowned.

"There are over six hundred demon and ghost experts in the town, led by a man named Yin Wuchang. He is not only at the Great Perfection of the Yi Jin Realm, but he also recently broke through to the Transformation Realm. This is troublesome, really troublesome."

The realm of transcendence!

It is the final step of the four major steps in martial arts.

It is divided into three small steps.

It is referred to as one rebirth, two rebirths, and three rebirths.

Each rebirth is a dual transformation of the entire physical body and spirit.

It can be said that when a master at the Transcendent Realm fights someone who hasn't, it's like a dimensional reduction attack.

"However, if I can't get into the top three, this mission trial will be meaningless for me."

Fang Yi pondered to himself.

What he wants is the poison manual!

It would take countless years to progress from an ordinary disciple.

Therefore, it's all worth the risk.

Fang Yi destroyed the two bodies to cover his tracks, and with a flash, he disappeared from the spot once again.

Over the next few days, he secretly observed and gathered more information.

With four or five days passing and everyone else's tasks progressing rapidly, Fang Yi decided not to wait any longer and prepared to take the risk and give it a try.

He possesses both the Five Elements Poison and the Power Poison, making him no weaker than someone in the Transcendent Realm.

night.

Thick fog enveloped the area, and strong winds blew.
The entire Demon Ghost Town was filled with a surging, wailing aura of death, as if countless wronged souls and vengeful ghosts were crying out within.

Remote areas.

Within the stronghold of the Poison Sect.

Elder Hu and a group of elders in charge of the assessment were waiting here for various news.

Every now and then, puppet birds would fly in from afar, quickly reporting the specific situation of the many disciples to them.

"These little guys are not bad. In just a few days, some of them have hunted down quite a few demons. Among them, Zhuo Tianxing and Luo Tianfeng are the most outstanding."

One of the elders smiled.

"That's for sure. Zhuo Tianxing is ranked 6th on the Hidden Dragon List, and Luo Tianfeng is ranked 8th. If there are no exceptions in this assessment, the winner will definitely be one of these two."

"It seems they have some self-awareness and didn't touch the top three tasks. They were just passable and didn't have any advantage."

Elder Hu said calmly.

"The top three tasks? Old Hu, don't be ridiculous. Even some of the older disciples would probably find it difficult to complete them, let alone them."

An elder in a yellow robe suddenly laughed and said, "Sending these newcomers to deal with that kind of mission is no different from courting death."

"That being said, I still hope to see the spirit of martial artists. Although the Poison Martial Arts lineage has forcibly broadened its path, the limits of martial artists are clearly visible. We need pioneering figures; only in this way can we continue to forge new paths."

Elder Hu said with a profound look in his eyes.

The major evil martial arts sects of today, although they have all undergone transformation, have forcibly carved out their own paths.

But that approach is just taking a few more steps.

It is still far from being comparable to seeking immortality, praying to gods, transforming into demons, or becoming a monster.

All the major evil martial arts sects are striving to go deeper and further.

Such assessments occur every year.

The Poison Martial Arts lineage has taken in quite a few disciples, but they are all just following the same pattern in their training; there isn't a single true pioneering genius among them.

Many of the elders frowned, looking thoughtful.

They were well aware of Elder Hu's words. But how difficult is it to become a pioneering genius?
Even after hundreds or thousands of years, it is difficult to find one like this.

suddenly!

Another puppet bird quickly flew in.

A middle-aged man stepped forward and listened intently.

A moment later, his eyes flashed.

"What did you say? Someone has made a move against that ghost town?"

Upon hearing this, everyone at the stronghold's expression changed slightly, and they all turned around abruptly.

"Which disciple is it?"

Elder Hu demanded an explanation.

"Huang Yaoshi".

The middle-aged man responded immediately.

"Huang Yaoshi?"

"Who is this?"
