The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

The next day at dawn, Yun Yici, Shen Huaichuan, and Wannian met with Meng Sui and the other two outside the City Lord's Mansion, and then went to the City Lord's Mansion training ground together.

After their recruitment warrants were verified, an official from the city lord's mansion had guards lead them inside.

Yun Yici originally thought that the training ground was a place for Juexian City to train soldiers, but she did not expect that there were many long wooden tables placed around the center of the open-air training ground.

The seating arrangement was orderly, with five people in a group, and there was a considerable distance between each other.

Yun Yici and the others mingled among them, consciously choosing to sit together in a corner.

Once the hour of Mao (5-7 AM) has passed, the drill ground is immediately closed.

A female cultivator landed gracefully in the center of the training ground. She gently clapped her hands, and a magic array on the ground lit up, then a cage appeared.

The cage was open on all four sides, and the bars were engraved with artifact patterns, allowing everyone to clearly see the scene inside.

Inside the cage was a humanoid monster with limbs that were no different from a human's, but its appearance was ugly and deformed. It was dressed in tattered clothes, revealing festering skin, and its whole body was filled with black mist.

Once exposed to sunlight, the monster was provoked and immediately roared, then began to frantically ram the cage.

With each impact, the engraved patterns on the cage bars would burst forth with dazzling light in response.

But the monster seemed to feel no pain and continued to relentlessly ram the cage.

The female cultivator who appeared earlier explained, "This is the lowest-ranking demon in the Demon Realm. Their physical body is roughly equivalent to that of a Qi Refining cultivator, and they have almost no intelligence."

"As long as you don't get into close combat with it, you can kill it normally."

As soon as she finished speaking, a sword appeared in her hand. She channeled her spiritual energy, and the sword blade shot out, piercing through the gaps in the cage and exploding the monster inside in the head.

The bloody scene silenced the entire audience.

The female cultivator said, "The weakness of low-level demons is their heads. Low-level demons are different from humans; they have no hearts."

"Because their magic power is weak, they also lack magic cores."

Humans die without a heart, but demons are born without a heart, so their weaknesses lie in different parts of the body. To kill a demon, you must shoot its head.

Yun Yici remembered it and roughly understood the difficulty of killing ten demons.

The female cultivator's sword was still dripping with blood, and the cage containing the dead demon's body beside her vanished.

The next moment, the same cage appeared in the new magic circle.

The difference this time is that the monster that appears is more human-like.

However, this monster was different from the demon; it sat calmly in the cage, showing no intention of attacking it.

The female cultivator said, "This is a demonic cultivator, whose physical strength is roughly equivalent to that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator."

"His intelligence is close to that of an adult, and he can use simple spells."

"When dealing with demons, one must be careful and cautious, and be wary of demonic energy entering the body."

"The demon has developed a demon core."

After she finished speaking, she thrust her spirit sword straight at the demon's dantian.

A fierce glint flashed in the demon's eyes as he reached out to block and protect his lower abdomen. Then, a black demonic aura, like a snake, coiled around the spirit sword.

However, all his resistance was futile.

The female cultivator's spiritual sword flashed, dispelling the demonic energy into nothingness, and then pierced the demon's dantian with a single strike.

The sorcerer collapsed instantly.

However, the female cultivator did not summon the next level of demonic cultivator as before, nor did she pull out the spirit sword stuck in the demon's body.

The female cultivator said, "If you are not sure whether the demonic core of the demonic cultivator you fought to the death has really shattered, you'd better not act rashly."

As she spoke, she made a hand seal, and the spirit sword was pulled from the demon's corpse.

The next instant, the demon who had died silently suddenly sprang up!

Yun Yici stared intently at the female cultivator's movements.

As expected, she was prepared. The spirit sword that had already flown out spun beautifully and pierced through the demon's dantian once again!

That's right! Before it was a thorn, this time it's a piercing!

As a large, drafty hole filled with black blood appeared, the sorcerer died completely.

This bloody lesson was too profound; surely no one present dared to take it lightly.

Yun Yici carefully noted down what the female cultivator said; these were all things that could save lives.

After witnessing several different forms of demonic creatures, the female cultivator concluded: "Because the demonic energy is rampant in the demon realm, spiritual plants and beasts have mutated into demonic plants and beasts."

"You must not venture too far into the Demon Realm. If you stay there for too long, you will be assimilated by the demonic energy."

"At best, it will destroy all your cultivation; at worst, it will cost you your life."

Yun Yici knew this; they, as human cultivators, used spiritual power by absorbing the spiritual power between heaven and earth.

The demon realm only has demonic energy. If you absorb demonic energy into your body, your meridians will be polluted and gradually blocked, and you will eventually be assimilated into a demon.

This is why the emperor ordered the search for the Immortal Wutong Seed to be brought back.

Before they knew it, the sun was high in the sky. The female cultivator sheathed her sword and said, "Our usual methods of exterminating demonic cultivators do not extend deep into the Demon Realm, so fellow cultivators need not be too nervous."

"The first day is for theoretical lessons, and the following two days are for group practice."

"On behalf of the city lord, I thank all fellow Daoists for their efforts in helping my Immortal City and maintaining peace in the human realm."

After she bowed, she was about to take her leave when the array of characters beside her, which had been quiet all along, suddenly lit up.

A cage twice the size of the previous one suddenly appeared, with the engravings on the railings several times denser than those on the previous cage.

Some of the cultivators near the training ground gasped, and at the same time, Yun Yici also saw clearly what the demonic cultivator in the cage looked like.

They are twins.

A man and a woman, with strikingly similar appearances; the girl had snow-white skin and red lips, while the boy was alluring and captivating, both possessing innate charm.

Corresponding to her stunning beauty, one of her eyes was icy cold, while the other was greedy.

Both demons had golden runes etched on their profiles, one on the left and the other on the right, running from their brow bones down to their jaws. Their bizarre yet beautiful appearances shocked everyone.

One curious person asked, "What level of demonic cultivator is this?"

The female cultivator's face turned ashen, and she used her magic to forcefully push the cage back into the dungeon.

She said coldly, "Demon General."

Now no one dared to ask. A demon general is below the demon lord, roughly equivalent to a Nascent Soul cultivator. Moreover, high-ranking demons are like this, able to command demons of lower ranks.

Those who covet this beautiful couple can stop now.

Although something went wrong, thankfully it wasn't to the point of no return.

As the female cultivator left the training ground, the cultivators who had been attentively listening to the lessons all morning also left intermittently.

Meng Sui said, "I observe that the demon general's appearance is no different from that of a human cultivator. I wonder if the five of us working together can defeat one of them."

Pei Heng sighed and said, "I was too naive."

Wan Nian shuddered slightly. He hadn't expected the demons to be so terrifying. He was skilled at using his claws to grab, but the demons were covered in demonic energy, and he might be infected and turn into a demon fox!

Wan Nian felt utterly hopeless at the thought of this possibility and secretly tried to get close to Shen Huaichuan and Yun Yici to seek a sliver of warmth.

To his surprise, Yun Yici, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up: "Senior Shen, I think that female demon was looking at you just now."
