The Emperor of Zongmen Workers is here

Su Chen also rushed over, holding several jade bottles filled with pills of different colors. "I have prepared some special pills, including the Huitian Pill, which is excellent for healing injuries, the Qingxin Pill, which can cure all poisons, and the Baoyuan Pill, which can improve your cultivation in a short period of time. These pills can be used in different combat situations, so we can prepare them for emergencies."

Mo Yunsheng held up her newly made paper figurines, which came alive in her hands. "I've also made a breakthrough in my paper-making technique. These figurines can not only confuse the enemy, but also launch different attacks according to my commands. Some can self-destruct and cause huge damage, while others can release mind-distracting smoke. Combined with my sound formula, they can disturb the demons' minds, causing them to fall into chaos and kill each other."

Everyone was discussing it heatedly when Shi Chenbai came over. "I've developed a disc that can identify demons. If it's a demon, the disc will glow. I've already tested it on demons and demon spies in the water dungeon of the Law Hall. It can definitely tell if something is evil or not by simply injecting some true energy into it."

"That's great. Now we have another layer of protection. Didn't Lord You want to insert people into the sect competition? This time, let us see what kind of monsters are coming." Li Qingtong sneered.

Shi An walked in with Feng Jingchen, who had just finished practicing the Beast Taming Technique. He looked at the people who were full of fighting spirit, and greeted them with a gratified smile in his eyes.

After a moment, Jiang Qingwu frowned slightly, nodded, and said, "The cooperation mechanism we discussed earlier must also be flexibly applied when collaborating with other sects. We need to understand their strengths and expertise in advance so that we can better integrate our forces."

Lin Muci also rushed over from the alchemy furnace at this time: "As for the elixirs, I will prepare sufficient quantities, not only to supply our Wuliang Sect disciples, but also to provide appropriate support to other sects if they need it, to enhance the overall combat effectiveness."

Zhong Lixiu, who had rushed over after hearing the news, patted a puppet beside him and said, "My puppet army can also serve as a vanguard or defensive force, coordinating with the attack or defense formations of other sects."

Feng Ci looked at the formation diagram on the wall with a deep gaze: "My formation can be deployed in key locations, whether it is to protect our camp or to trap the demons, it can be effective. However, setting up the formation requires time and suitable terrain, and it needs to be planned in advance."

Su Chen shook the jade bottle in his hand: "I will prepare some instructions for using the elixir and distribute them to other sects, so that they can understand the effects and timing of each elixir to avoid misuse."

Mo Yunsheng gently plucked the strings of his guzheng, producing a clear, crisp sound. "I can disrupt the demons' minds during the melee and create opportunities for battle. I will collaborate with disciples from other sects who are skilled in mental attacks or control spells to maximize our power."

"Junior sister, what is the content of this sect competition?" Shi Chenbai asked.

"Of course it's about cultivating adaptability." Li Qingtong asked puzzledly, "Could it be that Senior Brother has some good ideas?"

"It's not really a good idea. It's mainly because my junior sister gave me some ideas." Shi Chenbai waved his hands, shook his head and smiled helplessly.

"Oh? Qingwu, what good ideas do you have?" Li Qingtong raised his eyebrows and asked with interest, showing great curiosity about the fact that this little junior sister could always come up with new ideas.

"Senior brothers and sisters, please stop making fun of me. In fact, the idea of ​​the demons trying to sneak in this time inspired me. Not only can the combat I just proposed be completed through teamwork, but the sect competition can also be considered in this way when formulating competition rules." Jiang Qingwu said a little embarrassedly.

"Junior sister, please tell me in detail." Li Qingtong said.

"It's very simple, actually. When it comes to combat power, we can consider comparing teamwork. For example, we, the Wuliang Sect, can form a small group and compete in hunting monsters. This can not only clear the local monsters but also train everyone's team combat capabilities. Comparing brainpower is even simpler. It's nothing more than a competition of formations. Then we can set up formations for the front line of the demon tide. Whether it's a killing formation or a defensive formation, it provides a guarantee for the subsequent combat, and it doesn't waste materials for setting up the formation. Nowadays, natural materials and treasures are becoming increasingly scarce, and the Youhuang Secret Realm is also the largest one opened in the past three hundred years. We really don't have too many resources for us to spend on meaningless comparisons such as sect competitions." Jiang Qingwu recounted the ideas he had discussed with Shi Chenbai.

Everyone's blood boiled after hearing this. Zhongli Xiu was the first to applaud, and the rest of the juniors also shouted, "Junior Master's method is very good! I agree!" and other similar praises.

"Yes, I think Junior Sister's idea is very reasonable and feasible. What do you think, brothers and sisters?" Shi Chenbai put his hands behind his back and smiled brightly.

"Not bad." Lin Feixue and Shi An looked at each other and chuckled, "As expected of a method that Junior Sister could come up with."

Jiang Qingwu felt embarrassed by the praise and quickly waved his hands, saying, "It's everyone's united preparations that gave me this idea. Qingwu must not be complacent."

"I will go and communicate with the alliance. It's less than three months away from the sect competition. You should practice well. This sect competition mainly tests the disciples who joined the sect before and after the last family election." Li Qingtong left after saying this.

After everyone finished discussing, they took action to further improve their preparations.

The atmosphere in the dark Demon Palace was oppressive and solemn. The Demon Lord Youjun sat high on the throne, his face so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out.

Below, the demon guardians stood with their heads bowed, expressions solemn. Wisps of dark aura swirled within the hall, like a snarling demon.

You Jun narrowed his eyes slightly, a dangerous glint flashing in them, like the eyes of a hungry wolf in the dark night. He said in a deep voice, "Those hypocrites of the righteous path have actually developed a magical weapon that can distinguish between evil and deviant ways. As a result, our plan to plant someone will be scrapped. Humph, I underestimated them."

His voice echoed in the empty Demon Palace, filled with endless anger and unwillingness, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.

One of the guardians, who was tall and had a stern face, spoke first: "My lord, since the righteous path has spies among us, we must eliminate them as soon as possible to avoid endless troubles. We can start by investigating the demons who have recently participated in secret operations, and not let any suspicious people go." His eyes were as sharp as ice knives, and his words were ruthless.

Another guardian continued, "Indeed, Lord. The most urgent task is to find the righteous spy and eliminate him. As for the sect competition, we need to find another way to disrupt it. Perhaps we can start by adjusting the rules and environment of the competition to put those rising stars of the righteous path in a desperate situation."

You Jun nodded slightly and said, "Then do you have any good ideas to disrupt this sect competition and let those rising stars of the righteous path die in this competition?" He gripped the armrests of the throne with both hands, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged, showing his inner anxiety.

A sinister guardian smiled cruelly and said, "Lord, we can ambush the righteous disciples on their way to the sect competition. Choose a valley with difficult terrain, easy to defend and hard to attack, and ambush our elite demon soldiers on both sides of the valley. When the righteous disciples pass by, we will first block their retreat with boulders and poisonous fog, and then attack from both sides. Those young disciples are still weak, and if they are caught by surprise, they will be unable to resist. We can mix some powder that can corrode spiritual energy into the poisonous fog, so that they cannot cast spells."

"Hmph, although this plan is feasible, it is also quite risky. The righteous will certainly be on guard, and if we fail, we will expose more of our strength. Moreover, if the righteous send experts to escort the disciples, we may suffer heavy losses." A more stable guardian shook his head and said, his brows furrowed, his eyes full of worry.

At this time, a female guardian opened her red lips and said in a cold voice, "My Lord, why don't we use the magical beasts? Drive powerful magical beasts to roam around the sect competition site and create chaos. Those righteous disciples will have to cope with the competition and fight against the magical beasts at the same time, and they will definitely be overwhelmed. We can select some magical beasts with special abilities, such as the Dream Beast that can release illusions, causing the righteous disciples to be trapped in illusions and kill each other; or the Soul Devouring Beast that can devour spiritual energy and weaken their strength."

You Jun looked at her thoughtfully and said, "This plan is acceptable, but it's not enough. Although the magical beasts can cause chaos, they may not pose a fatal threat to those rising stars of the righteous path. Moreover, there are disciples in the righteous path who are skilled in the art of taming beasts. They may turn around and use the magical beasts against us."

Another guardian stepped forward and said, "Lord, we can secretly set up some traps and restrictions in the competition venue. When the righteous disciples are trapped, we'll wait for an opportunity to strike. In the hunting area for magical beasts, set up some swamp traps disguised as ordinary terrain. Once someone steps into it, they will be quickly devoured. In the area where the formation is set up, set up some restrictions that interfere with spiritual energy, making it impossible for them to set up the formation smoothly, or even causing them to suffer spiritual backlash during the process."

"Traps and restrictions..." You Jun pondered for a moment and said, "That's a good idea. But how can we ensure that these traps and restrictions are not discovered by the righteous people in advance? If they are discovered, our plan will be ruined."

The Dharma protectors looked at each other, unable to think of a better solution for a moment.

At this moment, a black-robed guardian who had been silent until then slowly spoke, "My Lord, I have a plan. We can use our spies among the righteous to pass on some false intelligence to the righteous, so that they can lower their guard. Then, during the sect competition, we can launch a surprise attack. We can have our spies spread the word that we have abandoned our plan to disrupt the sect competition, making the righteous people mistakenly believe that we have retreated. At the same time, we will secretly prepare to strike suddenly at a critical moment in the sect competition, such as when they are working together to fight against the powerful monsters we have arranged or concentrating on breaking the complex formations. At that time, the righteous people will be caught off guard. We can send our elite assassins to assassinate those rising stars of the righteous path during the chaos."

A gleam flashed in Youjun's eyes, and he said, "Oh? Tell me in detail."

The black-robed guardian bowed slightly and said, "My Lord, let's first have our spies spread the word that our ranks have been thrown into chaos by the appearance of a righteous artifact, and that we're busy rectifying the situation and have no time to attend the sect competition. Then, we'll set up hidden teleportation arrays around the competition venue so our assassins can quickly enter and exit. When the competition is at its most intense, our assassins will sneak in through the teleportation arrays and specifically target those righteous rising stars who are performing well. To avoid detection, the assassins can use magical instruments that conceal their presence and are equipped with magical weapons that can break righteous defensive spells."

"This is a brilliant plan!" You Jun nodded in satisfaction. "However, we still need to be cautious to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan. The spies must not reveal any flaws when transmitting information, and the assassins must act cleanly and efficiently."

The Dharma protectors responded in unison, "Your Excellency is wise. We will go all out to disrupt this sect competition."

You Jun glanced at the guardians below and said, "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. Make sure it is foolproof and make sure those rising stars of the righteous path never come back. If there is any mistake, you will be beheaded!" His tone was full of majesty and coldness, and there was no room for doubt.

"Yes, my lord!" The guardians took the order and left, leaving only Youjun in the Demon Palace. There was a sinister light flashing in his eyes, as if he had already seen the tragic death of the rising star of the righteous path in the competition.

Meanwhile, on the righteous side, the crowd seemed unaware of the demons' new plot. They were still intensively preparing. Li Qingtong informed the Tianji Pavilion and Qingyun Sect, the organizers of the competition, of Jiang Qingwu's idea and received their support.

A huge crisis is quietly approaching...

As time passed, the day of the sect competition drew near. Disciples from all the righteous sects were filled with fighting spirit, eager to showcase their skills in the competition. The sun shone on their young, vibrant faces, and their eyes, adorned with neat sect uniforms, were filled with a thirst for victory.

Meanwhile, the demons were secretly making their final preparations. They meticulously laid out traps and restrictions, while in dark corners, demon soldiers busily moved materials and cast spells.

Powerful monsters are imprisoned in specially constructed cages, roaring furiously, their eyes gleaming with bloodlust, waiting to be released to slaughter. Killers hone their skills in secret training camps, their magical weapons flickering with eerie light, as if thirsting for blood.

Finally, the day of the sect competition arrived. Led by Li Qingtong, disciples from various righteous sects marched toward the competition venue in a mighty procession. Their procession resembled a long dragon, winding along the mountain path. Within the ranks, the disciples laughed and chatted, sharing their anticipation and nervousness for the competition.

Along the way, everyone remained highly alert, guarding against possible demonic attacks. Disciples in charge of reconnaissance spread out in front of and on either side of the team, casting various detection spells and vigilantly observing the surroundings.
