Jiang Yaoyi touched the injury on her face, wanting to teach Jiang He a lesson, but the surrounding cultivators stared at her intently, and even gathered around while talking.

When most of the people pulled out their weapons, she panicked and completely forgot about Jiang He.

"Are you trying to kill someone in public?!"

Some remained silent, while others, while defending themselves, were also itching to act:

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, that's a harsh way to put it. What do you mean by murder? During the college entrance examination, this is just healthy competition."

The cultivators inside the room looked at Jiang Yaoyi and swarmed forward.

With just a few words, Jiang He made Jiang Yaoyi the target of the cultivators on the first floor to commit murder and robbery.

Jiang He stood by the railing, while the cultivators on the first floor were already in chaos.

Jiang He silently watched Jiang Yaoyi; this was merely an example of using the enemy's own methods against them.

Jiang Yaoyi's instigation of Liu Yang led to her being hunted down multiple times. Jiang He knew that the Liu family would never let her go.

Jiang Yaoyi, one of the ringleaders, remained hidden, and yesterday she tried to kill her again by having other cultivators do it.

If Jiang He hadn't had teammates to cooperate with, Jiang Yaoyi would probably have already succeeded. Since Jiang Yaoyi likes to call on others, when the bitter fruit ultimately falls on Jiang Yaoyi, this is only the first step in Jiang He's counterattack.

The first floor was bustling with people. As these examinees faced Jiang Yaoyi, Li Ling suddenly attacked a cultivator who was nearby.

The cultivator, pierced by a sword, looked furious.

"Who is it? Can you look carefully before drawing your sword? I've already been cut on the hand."

"Damn it, who is this bastard who attacks his own people?"

Many cultivators were injured by Li Ling and his teammates.

The cultivators already harbored resentment because of the demons, and now that they had been injured, they assumed that someone was deliberately taking advantage of the chaos to eliminate some of the candidates.

With this in mind, they kept a close eye on their surroundings, intending to strike first.

As a result, several Ming cultivators who were originally rushing towards Jiang Yaoyi suddenly started fighting because of their different teams, making the first floor of the shelter very crowded.

Whenever a fight breaks out, it's inevitable that others will get hurt. Other cultivators who don't know what's going on will immediately retaliate when they see their teammates getting hurt.

Everywhere you look, there are clashing swords and flying spells.

The scene on the first floor suddenly became chaotic.

Jiang Yaoyi had already faced several assassination attempts; her arms and legs bore varying degrees of cuts. Seeing the chaotic scene, she turned to Xu Yi:

"let's go."

Jiang Yaoyi intended to leave, but she was soon stopped by several people.

"Why are you running? Everyone come quick, Jiang Yaoyi is over here."

Li Ling shouted loudly.

Hearing the noise, the other cultivators quickly stopped Jiang Yaoyi. Unable to leave, Jiang Yaoyi simply joined the slaughter.

As the cultivators began fighting each other, many were injured, with blood flowing from their wounds.

Li Ling will not let anyone in this room go. Jiang Yaoyi's team has the most Golden Core cultivators, so her blood naturally contains more spiritual energy.

Li Ling looked at the large amount of blood on the ground and a smile appeared on his lips.

Soon, everyone here will become nourishment for it.

Let it flow, let it flow more, the more the better.

Li Ling evilly plunged his sword into a cultivator beside him and then pulled it out.

The fallen cultivator stared at Li Ling in disbelief.

Jiang He frowned as she watched the chaotic scene unfold. Dawn was approaching, but her heart was becoming increasingly uncontrollable, beating faster and faster.

Jiang He, watching Li Ling draw his sword from the second floor, was slightly taken aback.

Just as Li Ling finished killing a cultivator, she suddenly realized something and looked up.

As their gazes met, Li Ling looked at the female cultivator leaning against the railing. The female cultivator had lowered her eyes and delicate features, yet she possessed a sharp and aggressive aura.

As the two looked at each other, Li Ling smiled slightly and turned her head away first.

Jiang He glanced at Li Ling and then surveyed the shelter once more. This time, she not only went inside the shelter but also came outside.

The soil outside was damp, and Jiang He immediately noticed something was wrong.

The soil was only damp in a few places. Jiang He rubbed some of it between her fingers and then held it to her nose, gently fanning it with her hand. A strong smell of rust assaulted her nostrils.

When they climbed back to the roof, the streaks of blood were shocking and looked like an array when viewed from above.

Jiang He felt a throbbing pain in her temples. No wonder she felt something was wrong; it seemed this year's candidates were full of hidden talents.

What else could this be but a formation?

Recalling Li Ling's gaze, Jiang He clearly saw that it was this person who started the chaos among the examinees on the first floor. With such a purposeful move, Jiang He looked at the formation again and had some guesses in her mind.

Jiang He had only been there a short while when she heard a series of shattering sounds behind her.

She stood on a high place with her sword drawn, the fire elemental energy in her hand faintly visible.

Long Aotian leaped onto the roof on his sword. A dark figure attacked, each sword strike aimed to kill. Long Aotian was in a hurry to destroy the formation, remembering the old man's words, but he didn't expect to encounter other cultivators instead.

Upon realizing that this cultivator was the one who created the Bloodthirsty Array, Long Aotian drew his Black Green Sword without hesitation.

The blade of the Black Green Sword is very distinctive. Jiang He couldn't forget it after seeing it once at the auction. Later, when she saw Long Aotian take out the Black Green Sword to deal with Zheng Jia and his group, she realized that Long Aotian had won the bid for the Black Green Sword.

Even under the moonlight, the broken blade of the dark blue sword remained incredibly sharp. Jiang He recognized the sword and immediately took a few steps back.

"It's me, Jiang He."

Jiang He distanced herself from Long Aotian. In the heat of the moment, Long Aotian hadn't realized that the person in front of him was Jiang He.

The two faced off, the silvery light illuminating each other's faces.

Long Aotian sheathed his sword, in short:

"Someone has set up a blood-devouring array centered on the house."

"Bloodthirsty Array?"

The old man in Long Aotian's mind squinted at the formation and quickly assessed it:

"The Blood Devouring Array collects the blood of cultivators as the source for activating the array. This person is a half-baked array cultivator."

The old man waved his sleeve:

"But this formation, tsk tsk, it's really quite impressive. If a few more people die, that'll be enough. I remember that Hai Chongkong is a Golden Core cultivator. If we kill him, one person will be enough."

Once the magic array is fully formed, all the cultivators inside this room will die. If they're just trying to escape, there's no need to destroy the array's core or the array itself.

After cutting out a portion of the sentences, Long Aotian recounted the old man's dialogue in his mind.

“If the spiritual blood is the source, then where is the core of the formation?” Jiang He knew the general structure of the formation.

Upon seeing the actual magic array, Jiang He immediately began searching for its core.

Long Aotian shook his head:

"I don't know either, but disrupting the formation's trajectory should be possible."

Jiang He and Long Aotian knew nothing about formations. The old man in Long Aotian's mind suggested that Long Aotian find someone who knew how to open formations to break them, otherwise forcibly breaking the formation would result in a backlash.

The two returned to the room and pulled Bai Zhizhou out.

Jiang He took out the Retrospective Stone, on which the entire array was clearly recorded.

Bai Zhizhou remained silent when he saw the magic circle; his gaze was fixed on the image.
