Chapter 127 Who is the Demon?
Outside the spiritual realm, Elder Ran and Elder Tuyin stood in a void, with endless mountains behind them and a spiritual realm light curtain as calm as water in front of them, with faint fluctuations visible in it.
The two elders stared at the spirit screen with different expressions.
There was a heavy feeling of oppression in the air, especially when they saw Xuehe's dark red figure appear next to Luo He and Wang Xiaoke, the situation seemed to become more urgent all of a sudden.
"Alas, it is indeed so. The Demon Cult has long had people watching from the sidelines, constantly observing the situation at the new recruiting site."
Elder Tuyin frowned, his eyes involuntarily fixed on the situation over there.
As an elder of the Tianming Sect, he knew the ways of the Demonic Path very well. The Demonic Path would never tolerate the existence of any aliens or targets that would arouse their suspicion.
Especially since Luo He and Wang Xiaoke's performance in the previous recruitment trial was a little out of the ordinary, it inevitably attracted the attention of the Xueyang Sect's deacon in charge of recruiting new members.
This trial requires caution, and one needs to find out the mystery of this recruitment without knowing any information.
At the same time, we must also grasp the right degree so as not to arouse suspicion from the people of the evil sect.
Elder Tuyin shook his head helplessly, sighed, and whispered, "They're probably in trouble now. The demons are vicious and cruel. Anyone they target will most likely not have a good ending."
"Luo He and Wang Xiaoke usually keep a low profile, but this time in the Spirit Realm, their actions were a bit ostentatious, especially Luo He—that young man doesn't seem to quite understand the dangers of the Blood Sun Sect."
Elder Tuyin paused and said, "I think they will probably stop here this time."
There was a hint of regret and helplessness in his tone.
Although Luo He showed a different way of thinking in the previous level, in Elder Tuyin's opinion, he probably won't have much room for maneuver this time when facing the suspicion of the Demonic Path.
The Deacon of the Demonic Path was always merciless, especially towards people who looked cruel and ruthless like Luo He and Wang Xiaoke. Anything unusual would trigger his hostility and cruel treatment.
Elder Ran didn't respond immediately. He was silent for a moment, his gaze piercing towards Luo He and Wang Xiaoke in the spiritual realm. Unlike Elder Tuyin's, his gaze wasn't simply one of worry or disappointment, but rather one of deep thought and a faint anticipation.
"I don't think so."
Elder Ran finally spoke, his tone steady and calm, revealing a hint of determination. His eyes narrowed slightly, as if carefully weighing every detail. "Although Luo He and Wang Xiaoke have indeed aroused the other party's suspicion, this does not mean that there is no hope for them."
"Turning point?" Elder Tuyin looked at Elder Ran in surprise, as if he didn't quite understand why he was so optimistic.
Elder Ran nodded gently and continued, "Luo He is not the kind of reckless and ignorant young man. He has a calm personality. Although he may seem a little flamboyant at times, he never does anything without confidence. Look at his performance in the spiritual realm. Although some of his actions are surprising, every step he takes is purposeful. I believe he has a plan in mind."
His gaze was profound, as if he saw through something, and he continued, "Besides, although the Demonic Path is strict, they value talent and ability more. As long as Luo He and Wang Xiaoke can demonstrate sufficient strength and value, even if there are some doubts, Xue He may not act rashly."
The spirit screen projection will not show the details of what each person has done, only a general direction.
Therefore, the people who are watching outside the spiritual realm now do not know the layout set up by Luo He and Wang Xiaoke inside the cave.
All that could be seen was Luo He and Wang Xiaoke attacking a newcomer.
"Strength and value..."
Elder Tuyin frowned and pondered for a moment, then gave a wry smile and said, "Your analysis does make sense, but don't forget, the people of the Demonic Path are known to be ruthless and merciless. Once suspicion arises, they will not let it go easily. Luo He's talent is indeed outstanding, but if he can't quickly dispel the other party's doubts, he will become a thorn in the side of the Xueyang Sect."
"The only way to pass the level is to be as careful and cautious as my disciple Wang Luo, taking one step at a time!"
Elder Ran nodded slightly, expressing his understanding. "I understand this, but don't forget that what Luo He and Wang Xiaoke did before, although seemingly ostentatious, wasn't necessarily unintentional. Perhaps they were testing the Blood Sun Sect, looking for an opportunity for a breakthrough."
"Testing the Xueyang Sect? Tuyuan, you really are siding with that kid named Luo He and have been speaking for him." Elder Tuyin showed a hint of surprise on his face when he heard this.
"good."
Elder Ran's tone was calm, yet it carried a hint of meaning. "Luo He and Wang Xiaoke's actions might not simply be a test, but rather an attempt to attract attention, perhaps even devising a scheme to break the situation. This strategy is risky, but if successful, it could dispel the Demonic Path's suspicions and even reverse the situation."
The two people hold different opinions.
In any case, Elder Tuyin was not optimistic about Luo He and Wang Xiaoke at all, and felt that they were finished.
On the other side, Elder Canyun had the same idea as Elder Tuyin, thinking that at this point, Luo He and Wang Xiaoke were finished.
"Xiao Ke, Xiao Ke, hitting someone directly is too conspicuous. You need to change your impatience. I hope this trial can teach you a lesson."
"Master, is the situation not good?" There was a figure in purple clothes next to Elder Canyun.
Yu Chuchu.
Now that the spiritual realm is open, there is no way she wouldn't come and take a look.
Especially since she was still thinking about finding an opportunity to catch Luo He, it was impossible for her to give up this opportunity.
Seeing that something seemed wrong, she hurried to her master's side.
"Well, it seems now that they are about to fail and then be forcibly taken out of the spiritual realm." Elder Canyun nodded.
High in the sky, Fu Xueqiong had a constant cold expression on her face.
She didn't say anything, just lowered her head slightly.
It was also the time when all the elders, including other disciples of Tianming Sect, were not optimistic about Luo He and Wang Xiaoke and felt that they were going to be eliminated.
There were changes on the spirit screen again.
-
Xuehe walked in front of Luohe, and a cold aura spread like a tide.
Facing the powerful pressure from the Blood River, Wang Xiaoke's expression became slightly tense, but Luo He's expression remained unchanged. He stood there, calm and composed, even a hint of a smile playing at the corner of his mouth, before he let out a chilling, snarling laugh.
Wuhehehe~
This strange laugh was like a thunderclap, instantly breaking the dead silence around.
The elders and disciples in front of the spirit screen all opened their eyes wide, as if they couldn't believe what they saw.
The Demonic Deacon came directly to his door, and Luo He actually dared to laugh?
And his smile is too demonic.
Xuehe narrowed his eyes slightly, a dangerous glint flashed in his eyes, and he asked coldly: "What are you laughing at?"
Luo He was not in a hurry and still maintained his calm demeanor, as if he had already anticipated Xue He's questions.
He raised his head, looked directly into Xuehe's eyes, and replied with a smile: "Senior, you are finally here."
"What do you mean?" Xuehe's tone became increasingly cold, his fists clenched tightly, and the air around him seemed to be frozen by his murderous intent.
Luo He wasn't frightened by the murderous aura. Instead, his smile deepened. He said calmly, "I've long felt that something was amiss with this new member recruitment assessment. It's been a while since it officially started, and I've had my suspicions. Sure enough, it's just as I expected—those damned righteous undercover agents have infiltrated this new member recruitment assessment!"
"Hmm?" Xuehe's eyes narrowed suddenly, and his brows furrowed. Although he had some doubts about Luo He, Luo He's words caught him off guard.
If something doesn't sound right, listen again!
"Yes, senior."
Luo He looked calm, his tone brimming with confidence. "I've long suspected that there are quite a few righteous undercover agents hidden among these people. They're trying to infiltrate the Xueyang Sect through this recruitment drive and learn about its secrets. I noticed some clues long before I arrived at this venue, so I deliberately set up a trap to lure out those righteous undercover agents who don't know the rules."
"You set up a trap?" Xuehe sneered, obviously a little unconvinced, thinking that Luo He was just being mysterious.
"That's right. The fights that senior saw before seemed chaotic and disorderly on the surface, but in fact, I did it deliberately in order to test the intentions of these people." Luo He smiled slightly, with a deep light in his eyes, as if he had already seen through everything.
"You mean... you are testing those righteous undercover agents?" Xuehe's voice finally became more serious.
"exactly."
Luo He nodded and said, "In order to expose their true intentions, I fought with others on the field and deliberately created chaos. As expected, I found that several people were behaving particularly strangely. Not only did they know nothing about the rules of the Xueyang Sect, but they were also secretly trying to find out information."
Xuehe's expression gradually became solemn. Although Luohe's words sounded a little unexpected, his calmness and confidence forced Xuehe to take it seriously.
"Then why did you disappear for a while?" Xuehe continued to question. It was obvious that he still had doubts about Luohe's sudden disappearance.
Hearing this, Luo He's smile deepened. He took out a small box from his storage bag and threw it lightly. The box drew an arc in the air and landed steadily in front of Xue He.
"Senior, this is the trap I set. The box contains the blood essence that those righteous undercover agents accidentally released."
Luo He said slowly, "I left for a while just to confirm the situation of this box. Those righteous undercover agents didn't know the rules of our Xueyang Sect, so they fell for it and dropped their blood essence into the trap I set."
Xuehe's eyes flashed, and he reached out to grab the box. When he opened it, he saw that it was indeed filled with essence and blood.
His eyes suddenly became extremely sharp. He carefully observed the aura on each drop of blood and found that there was a name written on it.
The crime has been punished!
"What is this?" Xuehe's voice was low and solemn. Obviously, his doubts began to waver.
"That's right, Senior."
Luo He smiled and said, "These people sneaked into the new recruits' trial, hoping to infiltrate the Xueyang Sect this way. But now they have been exposed, and their names are written on the blood essence."
As for the two bags of Luo He and Wang Xiaoke, Luo He had taken them back again.
Xuehe was silent for a moment, the box in his hand trembled slightly. His eyes swept around and finally fell on Luo He.
He had never expected that Luo He would respond to his questioning so calmly, and he had never expected that Luo He could actually catch those righteous undercover agents. At this moment, Xue He's impression of Luo He changed subtly.
"It seems... I underestimated you." There was finally a hint of complexity in Xuehe's tone.
Such a sinister and calculating method, and that smile just now was even more rebellious and perverted than his.
How could this boy be the righteous one?
It's simply a synonym for despicable.
The others who had just been in high spirits and seemed to be filled with rage and pride, all looked towards Luo He with their eyes wide open:???
Wait, a setup?
Aren’t those essences and blood part of the arranged trial content?
Wang Luo and Zhou Xue looked at Luo He, who was smiling, in astonishment. Just before, they had gone through great pains to get the essence and blood and put them in.
Are you kidding me?
The smarter a person thinks they are, the easier it is for him to fall for this trick.
For those guys who want to join the magic sect and like to take shortcuts, this is a perfect special attack!
Outside the spirit curtain, everyone was stunned:???
No? Who is the demon?
Chapter 128 Clearance
Xue He took the box from Luo He and scanned the blood essence inside with a cold gaze. As a deacon of the Xue Yang Sect, he was extremely sensitive to every drop of blood essence.
The aura carried by these essences and blood, and the fluctuations in the blood, can all reflect the aura of the people they have come into contact with.
He examined the blood essence one by one, his fingers lightly brushing over every drop in the box, the expression on his face gradually changing from suspicion to deep thought, and then to final approval.
Luo He and Wang Xiaoke stood quietly by. Luo He remained calm, while Wang Xiaoke tensed up. Although she looked calm on the surface, there was a hint of uneasiness in her eyes.
In this situation, she naturally understood that any mistake could lead to disaster.
Wang Xiaoke still can't maintain a stable mentality like Luo He.
Especially the laughter just now, which was more devilish than the devil, made Wang Xiaoke clench her jade hands reflexively.
I almost couldn't help but punch Luo He in the face.
call……
That was a close call. I managed to control myself.
When Wang Xiaoke saw the bad guys, his sense of justice couldn't help but surge up.
When Xuehe finished examining the last drop of blood, he gently closed the box, narrowed his eyes, was silent for a moment, and then nodded to Luo He and Wang Xiaoke.
"You passed." Xuehe's voice was deep and majestic, as if it came from the abyss, carrying an irrepressible murderous aura. His sharp gaze lingered on Luo He and Wang Xiaoke for a moment, especially on Luo He, where a deep thought and a hint of admiration gleamed in his eyes.
"Next, a deacon will take you into the branch of Xueyang Sect." Xuehe said softly. Although there was not much emotional fluctuation in his tone, the recognition hidden behind the words was clearly discernible.
Luo He's performance completely impressed him. His ruthless style, calm mentality, and step-by-step strategy all met the standards of the Xueyang Sect and even exceeded Xue He's expectations.
Standing in front of Luo He, all kinds of thoughts quickly flashed through Xue He's mind.
This child's methods are so ruthless, he is bound to achieve great things in the future, perhaps he will become a great help to the Xueyang Sect in the future. As time goes by, Luo He will rise in the sect, and eventually become a demon that the righteous will tremble in fear.
Xuehe could imagine that in the future, when the elders of the righteous sects faced Luo He's reputation, they would probably say, "This boy must not be allowed to stay!"
A slight sneer appeared on Xuehe's lips, his gaze still fixed on Luohe.
He already had a plan in mind. This young man was definitely a chess piece with unlimited potential for the Xueyang Sect. If he could be trained, he would surely bring endless glory and power to the sect in the future.
However, when he turned to Wang Xiaoke, Xuehe's expression changed slightly. He looked up and down at the woman with long fiery red hair, which fluttered slightly in the wind like a burning flame.
Wang Xiaoke's temperament is completely different from Luo He's. He has a faint burning fire in him and exudes a power that is difficult to tame.
