Master fell into evil? I took the blame for the heroine

Wang Xiaoke took the bottle and carefully examined the blood essence inside with a sharp look, frowning: "It is indeed evil. This blood essence must have been extracted from living people. I wonder how many people the Xueyang Sect has harmed by relying on this method to improve their cultivation."

She squeezed the bottle tightly with her fingers, exerting a little force, a cold light flashing in her eyes: "This kind of thing must not remain in the hands of the Demon Cult."

Luo He nodded and said in agreement: "That's right, but for now we have to keep a low profile. We should get through this recruitment first, and then find a way to deal with these evil creatures after we actually enter the Xueyang Sect."

Wang Xiaoke nodded slightly after hearing this: "You're right. Our top priority right now is to succeed as an undercover agent. We can't expose ourselves too early."

Luo He continued to search in the storage ring, and soon he found some low-grade spirit stones, a few protective talismans that didn't look very high-grade, and a dagger that gleamed with cold light.

The dagger was very sharp, obviously prepared for self-defense, but other than that, there was nothing special about it.

"These things are quite ordinary. Apart from those bottles of essence and blood, there seems to be nothing worth noting." Luo He casually put the sundries aside and checked the contents of the storage ring one by one. After confirming that nothing was missing, he stood up and put the storage ring away.

"It seems that this guy has been prepared to participate in this recruitment, otherwise he would not bring so many bottles of essence and blood." Luo He said, with a hint of thought in his tone.

Wang Xiaoke nodded and responded: "I guess he prepared these essences and blood for recruiting new people."

"It seems that the Xueyang Sect's recruitment this time is not simple. This blood essence alone is enough to prove how high their requirements for newcomers are."

Luo He said thoughtfully: "But fortunately, we now have some intelligence, at least we know their methods."

After receiving this information, Luo He's eyes flashed.

Eh?

I have an idea!

Chapter 123: A Wicked Plan

Outside the spiritual realm, many cultivators have gathered in an open area, whispering to each other about this trial.

A huge spiritual curtain appeared in the sky, and the scenes happening in the spiritual realm were projected onto the spiritual curtain, clearly presented to the audience outside.

These scenes made the disciples outside hold their breath, and everyone was guessing the specific content of the trial and the final result.

Several highly respected elders stood on a high place, gazing at the image in the spirit curtain, while Elder Ran and Elder Tuyin started a discussion on the side.

"This trial looks very different than usual."

Elder Ran spoke first, his voice calm but thoughtful. "It seems we need to have them go undercover in the Demon Sect. This is no easy task."

Elder Tuyin nodded upon hearing this, his brows furrowed slightly, clearly having his own opinion on this trial: "To be an undercover agent in the Demonic Cult requires not only strength, but also meticulous thinking."

He paused and continued, "To succeed in this trial, the first step is to gather intelligence about the Demon Cult, especially the distribution of forces and the level of cultivation within the Blood Sun Sect. Unfortunately, these young people lack experience and are probably not fully prepared."

Elder Ran nodded slightly and agreed, "Indeed, the key to this trial is gathering intelligence. Once they enter the Demon Sect, they can no longer act recklessly as usual. Any mistake will expose their identities, and the consequences will be disastrous."

"Ah."

Elder Tuyin turned his gaze to the spirit screen, observing the scene. When he looked at Wang Luo, his face was full of praise: "My disciple made the right choice this time. As one of the best in this trial, his performance satisfied me."

In the spirit screen, Wang Luo had already started some conversations with other trial-takers. It could be seen that he was carefully trying to gather intelligence from the people around him, trying to obtain more useful information.

Elder Tuyin smiled with relief and nodded gently, "Although this boy has a somewhat arrogant personality, he has been cautious enough during this trial. It's clear that he's slowly gathering clues and not alerting the enemy."

Elder Ran responded with a hint of seriousness, "Caution is necessary, but time is pressing, and they cannot delay too much. The situation within the Xueyang Sect is complex, and if the intelligence is not accurate enough, they may fall into greater danger."

He looked up at the spirit screen, a hint of worry in his eyes: "It's easy to be misled by just a normal conversation and it's impossible to obtain accurate intelligence."

"Tu Yuan, you don't understand now."

Elder Tuyin shook his head and responded, "What they need to do now is to quickly obtain valuable intelligence without letting the other party notice anything unusual. This balance is extremely difficult to strike."

"However, as a disciple like mine, he should be able to do well. There's no need to rush now. No disciple would be stupid enough to make a move at the beginning of the trial, right?"

Elder Tuyin’s point of view is very simple: don’t be impatient.

"That...Iron Fire Girl has taken action!"

At this moment, the disciples' discussions rose one after another, instantly breaking the surrounding silence.

Elder Tuyin frowned and quickly cast his gaze towards the spiritual screen. He saw in the image that Wang Xiaoke had knocked a burly man with a face full of flesh to the ground. The scene was awkward and tense.

The sturdy man fell to the ground unconscious with blood at the corner of his mouth, while Wang Xiaoke stood beside him with his arms folded across his chest, a look of impatience on his face.

"What nonsense!"

The corners of Elder Tuyin's eyes twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but shook his head, feeling helpless.

As an experienced elder, he could see at a glance that Wang Xiaoke's move was completely unwise.

The most feared thing in the Demon Cult is exposing one's intentions, but she chose to take action at the very beginning, which made him speechless.

"Oh..." He sighed and looked at Elder Ran beside him with some helplessness.

Elder Ran was silent for a moment, his gaze also falling on the spirit screen, with a look of calm thought in his eyes.

He had anticipated Wang Xiaoke's impulse, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.

At this moment, every scene displayed in the spiritual screen conveyed her impatient nature - it was obvious that Wang Xiaoke could not tolerate long periods of waiting and testing, and would attack without hesitation when provoked.

"It seems like recruitment hasn't started yet, but in fact it has already begun."

Elder Tuyin said softly, his eyes filled with deep helplessness: "Those impulsive individuals, those eager for quick results, any action will be noticed by the spies of the Demon Cult. Although it may seem harmless, sooner or later such people will arouse the Demon Cult's vigilance, and then it will be difficult to deal with them."

Elder Ran nodded slightly, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes. He also knew that the Demon Cult's recruitment of new members was not based solely on strength, but rather on potential value and character.

Although Wang Xiaoke's behavior demonstrated her strength, it undoubtedly increased the risk for herself.

Elder Tuyin continued, "Her style of behavior will probably make the higher-ups of the Demon Cult wary of her. And what about Luo He?"

As he spoke, he looked at Luo He in the spirit screen: "This kid is much more stable, but his actions are cunning and unpredictable. Let's see if he can turn the situation around."

On the spirit screen, Luo He was standing next to the unconscious strong man. He looked at Wang Xiaoke with a hint of helplessness, then bent down and began to search the strong man's storage ring, as if he didn't care about the discussions around him.

His movements appeared calm and composed, as if he was not affected at all by the conflict just now.

"This Luo He seems to know how to keep a low profile."

Elder Tuyin narrowed his eyes slightly, noticing that many scrutinizing eyes were fixed on Luo He and Wang Xiaoke from within the spirit screen. "But in this situation, there's nothing he can do about it, right?"

"Next, it depends on how they end it." Elder Ran sighed and his gaze returned to the spirit screen again.

Elder Canyun on the side held his forehead with his hand.

She also heard the discussion between Elder Ran and Elder Tuyin.

Xiaoke, Xiaoke, you are too impatient.

-

Return to the spiritual realm.

Luo He and Wang Xiaoke's actions of knocking down a disciple and stripping him of his storage ring immediately attracted the attention of others.

Although Luo He consciously avoided the crowd.

But in this Xueyang Sect's recruitment site, the participants were wary of each other and paid attention to each other.

It was impossible for them to be completely unaware of what was happening to Luo He and Wang Xiaoke.

This isn't a game where you just crouch in the bushes and lose sight of the enemy with question marks popping up over their heads.

"Senior Sister, have you noticed that many people are looking at us?" Luo He used his spiritual power to transmit a message to Wang Xiaoke so that only the two of them could hear the voice.

"Ah."

Wang Xiaoke nodded. Her keen senses had already caught the gazes of others. "Did we alert them a little? Ugh...but that guy just said that to you, I couldn't help it."

"It's better to say this, that's why we need them to pay so much attention to us."

"Ah?" Wang Xiaoke expressed confusion.

No matter how stupid she was, she understood that their current goal was to go undercover in the Demonic Cult.

This way, not being discovered or noticed is the best option.

"Senior Sister, what do you think of the strength of that guy you just knocked out?"

"Hmm...bad?"

"Yes, it's very bad. Just think about it, a guy with such weak strength like him was able to obtain the [Secrets of the Blood Sun Sect]. This means that this [Secrets of the Blood Sun Sect] must have been released by the Blood Sun Sect on purpose. Except for those of us who are going undercover, everyone else should know it."

Wang Xiaoke raised his head and thought about it, then looked at Luo He with wide eyes: "Indeed."

"Now the others saw us knock this guy down, and now they are whispering here, right?" Luo He continued.

"Yes."

"They must be feeling very strange now, wondering what big secret we have obtained, and then we can use it."

Luo He smiled lightly and told his subsequent plan: "Let's do this next..."

Wang Xiaoke listened and nodded repeatedly, his mouth slightly open.

After listening to the plan, she found out...

My junior fellow apprentice is very smart, but also a little... evil-minded.

-

Wang Luo was in a terrible mood at the moment.

He had previously put a lot of thought into trying to gather valuable intelligence from the monks who had come to join the Xueyang Sect's recruitment drive, but he was always met with resistance. Those fellows were either evasive or perfunctory, never revealing anything genuine.

What made him even more annoyed was that as a genius, he was respected wherever he went, but here, he was like an insignificant little character and could not break through the defenses of these people at all.

Just when he was getting extremely anxious, he suddenly noticed Wang Xiaoke not far away. She moved swiftly and effortlessly knocked a strong man to the ground. Then the two of them seemed to have a discussion.

She and Luo He walked cautiously in one direction.

Wang Luo narrowed his eyes and observed carefully, and found that the direction they were heading was right in front of the recruitment location.

"There's something fishy going on!" Wang Luo was immediately alert. He secretly speculated that Wang Xiaoke and Luo He's behavior was obviously unusual, as if they knew some important secret.

With their strength and keen judgment, they will never act rashly unless they have clear intelligence in hand.

Thinking of this, Wang Luo felt a strong sense of curiosity and unease. He immediately signaled to Zhou Xue beside him, "Let's quietly follow them and see what they are up to."

Zhou Xue understood what he meant and followed Luo He and Wang Xiaoke silently without saying a word.

At this moment, Wang Luo discovered that he was not the only one who had become suspicious of their actions. Many of the monks who had participated in the recruitment also began to slowly follow them, obviously wanting to find out what the two had discovered.

Wang Luo sneered in his heart: "It seems that everyone's intuition is similar. There must be something wrong with this place."

When Luo He and Wang Xiaoke arrived at a relatively hidden cave, Wang Xiaoke stopped, turned around, and stood guard outside the cave entrance.

Her eyes were sharp and she was always alert to every move around her, while Luo He walked into the cave alone, and no one knew what he was doing inside.

Her attitude was so unconcealed that the monks who followed her quietly had to suspect that there must be some unknown secret hidden in the cave.

Zhou Xue couldn't help it and quickly stepped forward to ask, "Wang Xiaoke, what are you doing here?"

Her words were full of vigilance and suspicion, but Wang Xiaoke just snorted coldly and didn't respond at all. Her eyes were still scanning the surroundings vigilantly, as if Zhou Xue's words were irrelevant to her.

Zhou Xue's expression suddenly turned ugly. Feeling that her words were being ignored, she couldn't help but feel angry. She asked again, "What did you find out? Why are you so secretive?"

At this time, Wang Luo also walked up, stood next to Zhou Xue, and looked at Wang Xiaoke with a scrutinizing look.

His voice was calm and peaceful, but there was a hidden edge within it: "We're all from the same sect. If you've discovered anything, please speak up. Since we've all come here to participate in the recruitment, we can't hide things from each other, right?"

However, Wang Xiaoke still showed no intention of giving in and replied coldly, "Nothing."

Her tone was cold and dismissive, as if she didn't care about these questions at all, but this only made Wang Luo and Zhou Xue feel even more puzzled. They looked at each other, their doubts growing even more intense.

Wang Luo vaguely felt that Luo He and Wang Xiaoke must have grasped some key information, and their cold attitude at the moment seemed more like they were deliberately concealing something.

Zhou Xue bit her lip, her eyes fixed on Wang Xiaoke, her mind racing with speculation. But no matter how she tried to extract information from him, Wang Xiaoke remained unmoved, making Zhou Xue increasingly anxious.

Wang Luo became even more alert, thinking that things might not be that simple.

"It seems that I have to find another way." He said to himself, and said no more, waiting silently for Luo He to come out of the cave.

Chapter 124 Wang Luo understands everything

As time ticked by, the atmosphere grew increasingly tense and tense. Many of the cultivators who had come to participate in the Xueyang Sect's new member recruitment kept their gaze fixed on Wang Xiaoke and the surrounding scenery outside the cave, their hearts filled with speculation and doubt.

Luo He finally emerged from the cave. His expression was calm and composed, as if he had just done something perfectly ordinary.

When they walked out of the cave, he and Wang Xiaoke looked at each other and exchanged meaningful glances.

Then, the two of them tacitly turned around and walked in another direction without saying anything, as if this place was no longer important.

This scene was seen by everyone watching, and immediately aroused more suspicion.
