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

"These cultivators, in order to enter the Xueyang Sect, are all very cautious and suspicious. When they see the stone and the flower, they will definitely wonder if all this is under the Xueyang Sect's surveillance."

"You mean..." A hint of surprise flashed in Wang Xiaoke's eyes, and he suddenly understood Luo He's intention.

"Correct."

Luo He nodded. "These people are suspicious by nature. They'll imagine that the stone and the flower are some kind of hidden symbol, or that the Xue Yang Sect's leaders are secretly monitoring them. They'll naturally think that this essence blood box is part of the new member assessment. Anyone who dares to destroy it may be directly eliminated from the Xue Yang Sect, or even severely punished."

Wang Xiaoke's eyes gradually brightened, and she was clearly impressed by Luo He's move. She couldn't help but chuckle, "Junior Brother, you're so mean! Once they see that stone and flower, they'll definitely be more cautious and won't dare to act rashly."

"exactly."

Luo He smiled and nodded, then continued, "Besides, we're not placing all our hopes on that box. You and I each have a spare portion of our blood essence. Even if someone is truly daring enough to risk destroying the box, it will only concentrate the blood essence in one person's hands. The others will inevitably fail."

After hearing this, Wang Xiaoke completely put aside his worries.

Luo He's plan was not only meticulous but also played with people's hearts, trapping everyone in his trap. No matter what choices these monks made, they would ultimately face the same fate - every move they made, seemingly clever, was already under Luo He's control.

Wang Xiaoke smiled softly, his eyes filled with admiration and appreciation. "So, no matter what happens, they're all doomed to fail."

Luo He smiled slightly, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes: "That's right. No matter how they act, there is only one result - we win."

Wang Xiaoke couldn't help laughing again, thinking that the junior brother in front of him was so interesting.

Although his methods seemed a bit despicable, there was no need to talk about morality when dealing with those who took advantage of the situation during the Xueyang Sect's trial.

All Luo He did was take advantage of their greed and scheming, and he won the game in the simplest way.

Her beautiful eyes moved, and she couldn't help but teasing: "Junior brother, I always feel that you are bad."

She was originally going to go undercover in the Demon Sect and was extremely uneasy.

Now that Luo He is by her side, she feels inexplicably safe.

Luo He looked at her calmly: "Thank you for the compliment, Senior Sister."

Luo He has always had principles in doing things.

Treat the simple and kind people better, and treat the evil people even worse than they are!

The trials of the Blood Sun Sect were always brutal and ruthless. Everyone knew that many of the cultivators participating in the new recruiting trials would do anything to achieve their own interests. Since his opponent would not show mercy, Luo He naturally would not show any mercy either.

She looked towards the cave in the distance, her eyes flickering. "By the time those people realize they've been tricked, it might already be too late, right?"

"Yes."

Luo He said calmly: "By then, not only will they lose all their energy and blood, but they will also find that they have missed other real opportunities."

It is actually very simple to complete the task of being an undercover agent in the Demon Cult by recruiting new members.

Wouldn't it be better to eliminate all other opponents?

-

Inside the cave, dim light shone on the damp stone walls, emitting a faint chill. A tense atmosphere hung in the air. Wang Luo stood before the box, gazing at the essence within. His brow furrowed slightly as he mentally analyzed the situation.

"Could it be that this is the test that the Xueyang Sect needs to go through to accept new members?" He whispered to himself, with a hint of uneasiness and doubt in his eyes.

As his words fell, Zhou Xue, standing beside him, began to ponder them. She recalled the monks emerging from the cave one by one, their faces brimming with smugness and confidence, as if they had just grasped some inestimable secret. The furtive behavior of Luo He and Wang Xiaoke made her even more suspicious.

"Brother Wang, I also think something is fishy. Otherwise, why would Luo He and Wang Xiaoke sneak here? This blood essence must be very important. It might be the key to passing the new member trial!"

Zhou Xue licked her lips, a hint of cruelty flashed in her eyes. As she looked at the essence and blood in the box, an impulse surged in her heart.

She stretched out her hand, her fingertips trembling slightly, intending to directly destroy Luo He and Wang Xiaoke's blood essence: "Watch me destroy their blood essence and cut off their chance of passing the trial!"

However, just as her fingers were about to touch the box, Wang Luo suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist, saying in a low and urgent voice: "Wait!"

Zhou Xue was stunned and turned to look at Wang Luo with a puzzled look on her face: "What's wrong, Brother Wang?"

Wang Luo's eyes swept over the box, then pointed to the stone and flowers beside it and whispered, "Do you see that stone and flower?"

"Stone? Flower?" Zhou Xue blinked and looked in the direction Wang Luo pointed. Sure enough, not far from the box, there was a round stone. The surface of the stone was as smooth as jade, and it faintly emitted a soft glow.

Next to the stone, there stands a small, seemingly meaningless flower, which is slightly bloomed, as if it was casually inserted there, inconspicuous.

"What's so strange about this?" Zhou Xue asked with a frown, still puzzled.

Wang Luo's eyes flickered slightly, and his tone was calm but a bit alert: "Think about it carefully. So many monks have been here, but this stone and flower are surprisingly intact, without even a trace of movement. According to common sense, someone should have accidentally touched or stepped on them a long time ago."

He paused, his gaze fixed on the stone, his tone growing more serious. "These people intentionally avoided the stone and the flower, yet still poured their blood essence into the box. What does this mean?"

Zhou Xue's eyes widened slightly, and she suddenly felt a jolt in her heart, as if she vaguely understood something. She slowly withdrew her hand from the box, her voice low, "Are you saying... there's something fishy going on here?"

"Yes."

Wang Luo nodded, his expression growing more serious. He continued his analysis in a low voice, "This blood essence is clearly something special. Luo He and Wang Xiaoke have always been very careful and cautious, and it's unlikely they would leave it there for others to destroy. And this stone and flower are so out of place, clearly hinting at something. This unnatural arrangement is definitely more than just decoration."

"Perhaps, the top leaders of the Xueyang Sect are secretly observing every move here."

Wang Luo's voice was pensive. "If we act rashly, we might expose something or even be punished."

Zhou Xue's brow furrowed. Although she felt resentful, she couldn't deny that Wang Luo's speculation made sense. She re-examined the stone and the flower. Although they looked unremarkable, they might indeed hold some deeper meaning.

"Then what should we do now?" Zhou Xue asked in a low voice, her eyes full of hesitation.

Wang Luo didn't answer immediately. He was silent for a moment, as if carefully weighing the pros and cons. He glanced at the blood essence in the box and continued, "The best thing to do now is to continue observing calmly. Then we need to prepare the blood essence and put it into the box!"

Chapter 126: Eliminating Undercover Agents

Above the plain, two shadows were suspended in the clouds, hidden in the air, almost merging with the sky.

Xuehe and Chiyou, the two deacons of the Xueyang Sect branch, stood on the left and right, their bodies faintly surrounded by red blood energy, their eyes like torches, looking down coldly at the people who were participating in the recruitment.

Xuehe was tall and had a ferocious face. A scar on his left cheek ran from his brow to his chin, making him look even more ferocious. His entire body was muscular, and his naked upper body was covered in hideous red lines that seemed to flicker with the blood flowing through his body.

Whenever his blood surged, the lines seemed to wriggle slightly as if alive, a chilling sensation. His hands were crossed over his chest, his breath deep and steady, his eyes gleaming with a cold light.

Chi You, who was standing next to Xue He, looked even more weird.

He was relatively thin, with a pale face, sunken cheeks, and eyes sunken into their sockets, giving him a sinister and terrifying appearance. His blood seemed to blend with his skin, making his entire body appear to be enveloped in a thin layer of blood mist.

His right hand would occasionally stroke the blood-red sword at his waist, and a sinister smile flashed in his eyes, as if he was ready to take someone's life at any time.

The two of them quietly floated in mid-air, communicating silently for a while. Xuehe's voice was the first to break the silence: "Hey, Chiyou, what's so strange about this new member recruitment? Why hasn't it started in so long? I want to go down, but you won't let me."

Chi You replied in a low voice, his eyes still fixed on the ground below: "This time is indeed different from the past. We deliberately left it open for a while to let the guys who came to the scene this time have some free time to play."

"What on earth is going on?"

Chi You sneered and whispered, "The news I received is that someone from the righteous sect has infiltrated and is planning to go undercover and infiltrate our Xue Yang Sect."

Xue He frowned slightly upon hearing this, his eyes becoming more alert. "People from the righteous path? They are truly audacious, daring enough to trespass into our Xue Yang Sect's territory. Are they planning to attack us?"

“It’s not that simple.”

Chi You's voice was as cold and venomous as a venomous snake, tinged with sarcasm. "Those of the righteous path have always prided themselves on their purity, but they've long coveted our secrets. This time, they're probably trying to uncover our Xueyang Sect's next moves."

"Hmph, you want to check on us?"

Xuehe snorted coldly and smiled grimly, "It seems they don't know our strengths yet, otherwise they wouldn't be so arrogant."

Chi You licked his lips, his eyes flashing with a cold light. "You're right. But this time is different. We've released some secrets in advance through special channels. Only a few people who have been involved in the bloody massacre for many years know about it. Now those righteous scoundrels must be extremely anxious, right?"

Xuehe raised his eyebrows, a glint of understanding flashed in his eyes: "No wonder we haven't started recruiting new members for a long time, it turns out we are fishing for these righteous people."

"Yes."

Chi You's smile grew even more sinister. "Those righteous people must be extremely anxious right now, but they don't know that we've been waiting for them to reveal their true colors. They should be feeling anxious and uneasy right now."

Xuehe laughed heartily, his voice deep and filled with murderous intent: "Haha, interesting! It seems that this time we can not only pick out new blood with potential, but also deal with a few overconfident righteous bugs."

Chi You nodded in agreement, his eyes glancing coldly down below, as if searching for prey: "These righteous fools don't understand that we have already laid a net, waiting for them to fall into it. After all, those guys are the most concerned with so-called morality."

The two men hovered in the air, their blood and energy slowly surging, seemingly intertwined with the dark aura between heaven and earth. Their eyes, sharp as hawks, stared intently at the people participating in the Recruitment Trial below, especially those monks who behaved abnormally, ready to lock onto them as targets at any moment.

Soon, Chi You and Xue He noticed the figures of Luo He and Wang Xiaoke below. Because they were too conspicuous, they immediately noticed that they were looking for someone who came to the new venue to communicate.

They even beat up the other person and stole his storage ring.

As soon as I came in, I saw Chang Wei beating Lai Fu.

These two people are the focus of attention!

"Something feels wrong with these two people. They seem to be completely unaware of the secret we released. Are they trying to gather intelligence?" Chi You pondered.

Xuehe nodded, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a cold voice: "It doesn't matter. I have already set my sights on the two of them. No matter where they come from, if they dare to act so presumptuously in our Xueyang Sect's trial field, they will definitely be in trouble."

Chi You chuckled lightly, appearing extremely relaxed. "The possibility of them being undercover agents from the righteous sect is quite high. These two don't look like ordinary casual cultivators. Their behavior is somewhat similar to those who claim to be from the righteous sect. Especially that man. His eyes are too calm, without any greed in them. Instead, he seems to be hiding something. Such a person is most likely an undercover agent."

A hint of coldness flashed in Xuehe's eyes: "Then let them be arrogant for a while. When they reveal more flaws, I will deal with them personally."

Chi You nodded slightly, his eyes filled with mockery and anticipation: "Haha, wouldn't it be more interesting to wait until they think they are safe and then launch a surprise attack?"

The two of them were suspended in the sky, their auras concealed extremely cleverly. Even if the monks below were very perceptive, they could not notice that there were two pairs of cold eyes watching their every move from above.

-

As time went on, the atmosphere at the new recruiting venue grew increasingly oppressive, and the participants gradually became nervous. Suddenly, a powerful pressure descended from the sky, causing everyone's breathing to stagnate.

This pressure was like a rolling blood, descending from the sky, like an invisible mountain, directly looming over everyone's head. Then, two figures broke through the air and slowly appeared.

Those are Chiyou and Xuehe.

Chi You, dressed in a blood-red robe, had a stern expression, emitting a cold and sinister aura. Next to him, Xue He was even more fierce, his body shrouded in a thick bloody aura, his eyes as sharp as a beast's.

The two stood in mid-air, overlooking the new student recruitment venue below, their eyes scanning every participant like knives.

"New members, officially begin!" Chi You said coldly, his voice carrying a sense of oppression that instantly spread throughout the surroundings. His voice was not loud, but it exploded like thunder in everyone's ears, and everyone felt their heart suddenly jump.

Xuehe took over the conversation and sneered, "Since you have come to participate in the Xueyang Sect's recruitment, you should be well prepared. There is no mercy here, only life-and-death struggles. Only those who can survive are worthy of becoming disciples of the Xueyang Sect. Those worthless losers, get lost as soon as possible and don't waste our time!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the room became even more tense. Many people's faces showed signs of fear and uneasiness, especially those monks with lower cultivation levels, who began to show signs of hesitation.

Clearly, the Xueyang Sect's recruiting trials were far more brutal than they had imagined. However, some others remained unwavering, their eyes gleaming with determination and even excitement.

For these cultivators, the cruelty of the Xueyang Sect is exactly the challenge they want. Becoming a disciple of the Xueyang Sect not only means obtaining more powerful cultivation resources, but also means standing at the top of the powerful in the world of immortal cultivation.

Chiyou and Xuehe glanced around and had a general understanding of the situation on the field.

Those who hesitated and looked apprehensive had essentially been judged by them as "useless" and would have no future even if they forced their way through the trials. Those monks who were confident and determined were the true contenders.

"It seems that some people already know the rules of our Xueyang Sect." Chi You swept his cold eyes across the crowd, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

As Chi You's eyes swept across every corner, his gaze suddenly paused. Luo He, who was supposed to be standing in a prominent position, suddenly disappeared.

Chi You frowned and looked around carefully again, and found that the cultivator named Luo He had indeed disappeared among the crowd.

"Why is that kid gone?" Chi You's heart moved and he immediately became alert.

Luo He's previous behavior had already attracted their attention, and his sudden disappearance at this time made Chi You feel that something was wrong.

Xuehe also noticed Chiyou's abnormality and asked coldly, "What's wrong?"

"That guy's gone." Chi You's eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of displeasure lingered in his tone. They had already suspected that Luo He and Wang Xiaoke had ulterior motives, and now that he had suddenly disappeared, it was inevitable that they would be alert.

"Oh, interesting. He thought he could hide from us?"

A sinister smile appeared on Xuehe's lips, and he said coldly, "If he dares to play any tricks again, I will personally make sure he is killed without a burial place!"

After a while, Luo He appeared and came back.

"First of all, you have to hand over your blood and essence!"

Chi You's voice was as biting as a cold wind. He stood high in the air, looking down coldly at all the participants, his eyes like knives, sweeping across everyone's face.

His gaze seemed to penetrate all hypocrisy and reach the heart of the people. Those with guilty consciences felt uneasy under his cold gaze.

As soon as Chi You said this, everyone's expressions became solemn.

Essence and blood are the most core assessment contents for the Xueyang Sect to recruit new members.

Surrendering your blood and essence meant you had taken the first step toward becoming a disciple of the Blood Sun Sect, proving your strength and ruthlessness. Those who failed to surrender their blood and essence would be eliminated.

Chi You slowly scanned the entire room and continued in a cold voice, "Essence and blood are the first step for you to enter the Xueyang Sect. If anyone is unable to hand over their essence and blood—"

His voice suddenly rose, his gaze as sharp as a sword, piercing everyone present: "Then deal with it as an undercover agent through righteous means!"

"What?" Some cultivators couldn't help but whisper in surprise, panic creeping onto their faces. If they couldn't hand over their blood essence, they'd be treated as righteous undercover agents? This statement instantly put immense pressure on many who were hoping for a lucky break.

Some people who have already paid their blood and essence "in advance" are very proud, thinking that they must have succeeded.

"That's right, the righteous undercover agents will never know the secrets of our Xueyang Sect. Only those who truly want to join the Xueyang Sect can pass this trial." Chi You's tone was cold and stern, as if everything he said was as it should be, and there was no room for negotiation at all.

"At the same time, the guys who were previously gathering information and doing whatever they wanted will also be eliminated!"

As he said this, Xuehe floated in front of Luohe and Wang Xiaoke, looking at them coldly: "You can tell at a glance that you are not a good person."
