As the most accomplished cultivator in the entire helm, the leader had also received systematic training at the headquarters and learned the true essence of magic. What kind of scenes had he not seen
He had never seen such a scene before.
If it was said that the deacon understood his hard work and made preparations in advance, he could understand and even feel gratified.
But what about you three? Where did you come from
The captain figured out the problem, and his eyes were so cold that they could kill people. These three people were pretending to be examiners to screen out competitors in advance.
"What a good trick!" said the helmsman gritting his teeth.
The three were still pretending to be examiners. Lu Yang put his legs on the table and said, "We still want to pass the examination without bribery. Who's next?"
The next person respectfully took out the spirit stones to honor the three examiners. Meng Jingzhou counted them and felt that it was not enough, so he asked, "Do you have experience in joining the Demon Sect?"
"No."
"Oh, sorry, we don't want inexperienced people, go back."
“…” He felt that the examiner was just about to have the words “We just aren’t hiring” written on his face.
The helmsman appeared behind the three of them like a ghost, with cold air coming out of his teeth and the aura of the Golden Core Stage clearly visible. He slapped the three of them against the wall and said, "You three are so brave, you dare to pretend to be examiners here!"
If he had come any later, everyone would have run away!
Lu Yang pulled himself off the wall and said quickly, "Your Excellency is wronged. We are all wholeheartedly considering the Demon Cult!"
The helmsman was so angry that he laughed and asked, "Then why don't you tell me why you consider the Demon Cult?"
"My Lord, as a cultivator of the magic path, you should be suspicious and ask questions, and not trust others easily. Look at these people. As soon as the three of us sat here, they believed that we were the examiners, and no one had any doubts."
"If you are so easily fooled, won't it be easy for you to be deceived? If there are smart people in the righteous path, you can fool them every time."
"Besides, only righteous monks would believe whatever anyone says. I also suspect that there are righteous monks undercover among these people. My lord, you must find out their identities in detail and don't let righteous monks sneak in!"
Having said that, Lu Yang was still looking at the people taking the test with suspicion, as if to say that there must be an undercover agent among them.
Lu Yang spoke sincerely, as if he was considering the helmsman for what he said.
The helmsman's expression relaxed a little.
Meng Jingzhou's words were more sincere than Lu Yang's, and you could tell what he really thought: "Besides, the demon cultivators are selfish and only think about themselves. There are so many people participating in the test this time, so we naturally have to find ways to reduce the number of competitors!"
"They were not as skilled as others and got cheated. Who can they blame? They can only blame themselves for not having enough experience in cheating people!"
The helmsman relaxed his brows, feeling that these were the true words of the three people.
That's right, the cultivators of the devil sect are lawless and will do anything to achieve their goals. When he first joined the devil sect, he also used all means possible, gained the respect of the higher-ups, and got his current position.
The methods of these three people are even better than those of my past self, and they are even better than my former self.
Man Gu said it most simply, stating: "We really want to join the Demon Cult, and we promise not to do anything bad!"
The helmsman nodded slightly, perhaps these three people could also be valued by the top management, which would raise the evaluation of Yanjiang Pier to a higher level.
Everyone glared at Lu Yang and the other two. They were all well-known gangsters, scoundrels, and swindlers in the underworld, but none of them were as shameless as these three and they deceived people so cruelly!
If the helmsman wasn't here, they would all rush forward and tear these three bastards to pieces!
The helmsman didn't care about what his subordinates thought. How could a group of mediocre people compare to the value of these three people
"What are your three abilities?"
Lu Yang answered respectfully, "All of them are in the early stage of foundation building. The three of us brothers are from other places. We came to Yanjiang County a month ago. We heard by chance that the Demon Cult was recruiting people, so we wanted to give it a try. Seeing that there were too many competitors, we came up with this strategy."
"Well done." The more the helmsman looked at the three people, the more satisfied he became. What a great talent! These were all his achievements.
He just waved his hand casually, and ordinary people in the early stage of foundation building would be injured. In contrast, these three people were not injured at all, which shows that they were outstanding in the early stage of foundation building.
If these three people perform well in the test, it would be fine to promote them to deacons.
Those who were eliminated by Lu Yang also came back one after another. They were called over when the helmsman came over.
These eliminated people hated Lu Yang more than anyone else. Lu Yang felt that if he killed these people now, they would probably turn into vengeful spirits.
The helmsman opened the stone wall again and said to everyone, "Come in."
Behind the stone wall is a vast and dark space with huge rocks suspended and connected by chains, which is quite spectacular.
Lu Yang's guess was true, Yanjiang Du was in a cave.
The helmsman's attitude towards the three people was obviously different from that towards the others: "You had a good idea to squeeze out your competitors, and you did a commendable job, but you were wrong from the beginning. Even if you squeeze out these people, or even if only the three of you take the test, you may not pass."
"What does this mean?" Lu Yang and the other two were puzzled.
The masked helmsman smiled without answering. He stepped on the floating stones and led everyone to the largest floating stone.
This is a platform with intricate and gorgeous patterns carved on the ground. Four ancient stone pillars stand in the four directions of east, south, west and north. Eleven deacons in black robes are guarding the edge of the platform, each doing their own job.
"Sit apart and relax."
After everyone did as they were told, the helmsman came to the center of the platform. A turquoise stone was suspended in the center, and the surface of the stone was engraved with densely packed mysterious symbols.
The helmsman input spiritual energy into the stone, and the formation under his feet started to operate, rotating and expanding, replicating and increasing, and instantly covering the entire platform.
The platform is like a reviving ancient beast, using mysterious power from ancient times to bring everyone to an unknown space.
In the white space, a shadowy person stood there with a bewildered look on his face, not knowing what was going on.
Whenever Lu Yang saw the white space, he would always suspect that a Tofu God suddenly emerged from the crowd.
Lu Yang found that there was no Meng Jingzhou or Man Gu around him, and there were only people he didn't know.
"Brother, where are you from?" Lu Yang asked in a very familiar manner. The man was not very used to Lu Yang's enthusiasm.
The man felt it would be bad to remain silent, so he said, "From Huangyue City."
Lu Yang asked several people in succession and found out that they came from different cult strongholds and were all teleported here through a giant formation.
Lu Yang roughly understood what the helmsman meant. This selection was not conducted by each stronghold, but was organized by the headquarters and all the independent practitioners of the magic path participated in the selection at the same time.
"This feels like a ghost leaving the body, but also a little different." Lu Yang murmured to himself. He felt that the platform was not transmitting his real body, but something like thoughts.
"That's interesting. I wonder if Senior Sister can..." Lu Yang stopped thinking. If he was in a thinking state now, maybe the Immortal Sect would have a way to detect what he was thinking.
It's better to be careful.
Suddenly, the whole space darkened, and a figure emitting a white halo stood in the air.
The man said calmly, "I am the deputy leader of the Immortal Sect. I will set three tests for you. Those who pass all three tests can join our sect."
There will be another one around 1:00 pm
