On this day, Wang Changsheng woke up early. After freshening up a little, he walked out of the courtyard. [Latest Chapter Reading …]
"Brother Wang, wait, wait." Wang Changsheng hadn't walked far when he heard a familiar shout.
Wang Changsheng looked towards the voice and saw Xu Yi walking towards him with a very excited expression.
"Morning! Senior Brother Xu, "said Immortal Wang with a faint smile.
"Morning. By the way, Brother Wang, are you going out?" Xu Yi nodded and asked.
"Yes, I participated in the talisman making competition. Today is the day the results are announced. I was just thinking of going to take a look." Wang Changsheng didn't hide this and said truthfully.
"So that's how it is. Hehe, Junior Brother Wang, your Senior Brother took part in the challenge of the Demon Subduing Pagoda and won the 82nd place. I'm going to hold a banquet in my house. I hope Junior Brother will come!" Xu Yi's face revealed a smug expression.
Hearing this, Wang Changsheng's eyes flashed with a touch of surprise. Although he didn't participate in the competition to break through the Suppressing Demon Pagoda, he still went to learn about it and had some understanding of the rules of the competition.
First of all, disciples who participated in the Suppressing Demon Pagoda had to be under 50 years old. After all, disciples under 50 years old couldn't be compared to new disciples in terms of fighting experience or wealth. If older disciples under 50 years old also participated, it would be unfair to new disciples. Second, the competition to break through the Suppressing Demon Pagoda could be life-threatening. If something happened, it would have nothing to do with anyone. Third, one had to reach the seventh floor to be considered successful. If there were too many people who succeeded, the ranking would be based on the length of time.
Although the sect opened its doors once every 20 years, in fact, it would accept disciples every year. It was just that the number was very small. Therefore, disciples who had been in the sect for more than 10 years were not few. As a new disciple, Xu Yi was actually able to enter the top 100. It was really not simple.
"Senior Xu, don't worry. I will definitely be there on time." Wang Changsheng nodded and agreed.
Wang Changsheng chatted with Xu Yi for a while before walking up the mountain.
When he reached the mountainside, Wang Changsheng took out his banana leaf flying Dharma artifact and flew towards Ethereal Peak.
Speaking of which, with Wang Changsheng's current wealth, even if he wanted to buy a top-grade flying magic tool, it would not be difficult. It was just that he did not want to be so ostentatious.
As it was the day of the announcement, the bluestone platform before Misty Palace was packed with people. Strangely, however, there were tens of black-clad cultivators standing around the bluestone platform.
There were both men and women among the black-robed cultivators. They weren't very old, about thirty or forty years old. They stood around the platform with cold expressions. When someone tried to talk to them, they ignored them.
Immortal Wang noticed that when the older disciples saw these black-clothed cultivators, they all revealed expressions of watching a good show.
"Could it be that something is going to happen?" When Immortal Wang saw this, his brows furrowed slightly, inwardly feeling a bit uneasy.
Not long after, the gate of Misty Palace opened and a group of cultivators walked out. The one in the lead was the woman surnamed Fu.
The woman surnamed Fu glanced at the noisy crowd below and frowned. She took out a white bead the size of an egg and threw it in front of her.
The white bead instantly grew ten times in size and floated in front of the woman.
The woman surnamed Fu struck the surface of the white bead with a spell seal. The white bead lit up with a three-colored light that flickered incessantly.
When the people below saw this, they all stopped talking and looked at the woman surnamed Fu.
"Those whose names I have called, quickly come to me." The woman surnamed Fu's voice was not loud, but everyone present could hear her clearly. As she spoke, the three-colored light on the surface of the white bead flickered incessantly. It was clearly an auxiliary magic tool that amplified her voice. Otherwise, with her cultivation, it would be impossible for everyone to hear her clearly.
"Is she going to announce the results of the competition?" Wang Changsheng's eyes were burning and his heart was beating rapidly.
Hearing this, everyone else's expression became nervous.
"Li Xuan, Song Zhe, Liu Min, Zhao Hao, Wang Ming, Sun Yunge, Liu Yu, Ning Jiaojiao, and Lu Fei. These nine people are to come to me." The woman surnamed Fu's voice was filled with an unquestionable tone.
As soon as her voice fell, several youths pushed through the crowd and quickly walked in front of the woman surnamed Fu. Each of them had a happy expression on their faces.
Wang Changsheng was standing relatively close to the front and was barely able to see the appearances of the nine people. They were all around twenty years old.
Most of the younger disciples looked at the nine people with envious gazes while the older disciples were waiting for a good show. Some of them even had a trace of contempt in their eyes.
The woman surnamed Fu expressionlessly swept her gaze over the nine people and indifferently said, "Did you all draw the talismans yourselves? Did you not cheat? "
Hearing this, the two men's eyes flashed with panic. The expressions of the others also changed slightly, but it didn't take long for them to return to normal.
Seeing this, the woman surnamed Fu shook her head and changed her tone. She coldly said, "Answer me. Did you draw the talismans yourselves? Did you cheat?"
"In response to Uncle-Master's question, it was drawn by me. I didn't fake it," a young man with delicate features said in a rather sincere tone.
"I drew it myself too," a slightly plump man chimed in.
"The talismans were drawn by yourselves. No one cheated. Stand to my left. Everyone else, answer me. I don't have the patience to waste time with you." At the end of her words, a trace of anger flashed in the woman's eyes.
Hearing this, three young men immediately walked to the woman surnamed Fu's left. A thin young woman hesitated for a moment before also walking over.
"Martial Uncle, the talisman I handed over wasn't drawn by me, but I bought it. Please punish me, Martial Uncle." A beautiful woman in a green dress immediately knelt down and begged for mercy in a pitiful manner. Her expression was rather terrified.
"We also bought them. We were blinded by lard. Please don't blame us." A fair-faced young man also knelt down and begged for mercy.
"The talisman paper that we used was our own. It was not a blank talisman paper that was issued. We were wrong. Please punish us." Another disciple knelt down.
The remaining two young men looked at each other and knelt down as well, begging for mercy.
"Senior Brother Guan, I'll leave these people to your Law Enforcement Hall." The woman surnamed Fu exhaled deeply and turned to speak to a man in black beside her.
The man in black had ordinary facial features. His skin was slightly dark and his expression was ice-cold. His body emitted a faint evil aura.
The conversation between the woman surnamed Fu and the others was transmitted to everyone's ears through the white bead.
When Wang Changsheng heard this, how could he not know that the nine people had been caught cheating? At the same time, he heaved a sigh of relief. If he had cheated at that time, he would probably be kneeling there now.
"Law Enforcement Hall? We didn't cheat. On what basis are you arresting us? "The handsome young man standing to the left of the woman surnamed Fu retorted with an unwilling expression.
"You didn't cheat? The blank talisman paper and cinnabar were mixed with Bewildering Fragrance. It was colorless and odorless. Only the Spirit Sniffing Mice could smell it. Every talisman you drew would be smelled by the Spirit Sniffing Mice. If there was no problem, then it would be examined. The talismans that the nine of you handed in had a problem. Could it be that I'm slandering you? "The woman surnamed Fu sneered.
"This disciple wouldn't dare. Perhaps there was a problem with the Spirit Sniffing Mice. Perhaps the disciples who collected the talismans deliberately framed us." The young man braced himself and said, refusing to admit that he had cheated.
"Hehe, there are a total of five Spirit Sniffing Mice to examine the talismans. One mouse can make a mistake, but five is impossible. As for you saying that the two disciples who collected the talismans framed you, our Law Enforcement Hall has several methods to detect lies. We will know who is lying when we come to the Law Enforcement Hall. That's right, you have repeatedly denied your crime.
According to the rules of the sect, your crime will be increased by three levels. Your Fa Li will be abolished and you will be expelled from the sect. "The man in black chuckled and explained word by word.
"My Fa Li will be abolished?" When the young man heard this, his expression changed greatly.
For cultivators, the abolition of their Fa Li could be said to be a very serious punishment. Even if they failed to reach the Foundation Establishment stage, by virtue of their status as cultivators, they could live a carefree life. If their Fa Li was abolished, they would become a powerless mortal. For those who had once grasped great power, this was simply a fate worse than death. After their Fa Li was abolished, there was almost no possibility of recovery. From a high and mighty cultivator to an ant-like mortal, no one could accept this fact.
When the other people who had cheated heard this, their faces turned pale.
When Wang Changsheng heard this, his expression became somewhat unsightly. According to the rules of the sect, if one cheated, they would only receive thirty whips. However, the young man had repeatedly denied his crime. Indeed, his crime would be increased by three levels. However, he didn't think that the result of this would be the abolition of his Fa Li. It seemed that he would have to be careful in the future. If he accidentally violated the rules of the sect, it would be best for him to admit his mistake. Otherwise, his Fa Li would be abolished.
"You can't abolish my Fa Li. I am a descendant of the Cang Province's White Horse Stream Family Li. My great grandfather is a Core Formation cultivator." The young man reported his family name. After saying this, his complexion became much better.
"Hehe, if you were a Yuanying cultivator, perhaps I would have some misgivings. But if you are a Core Formation cultivator, I'm afraid it won't have any effect." The man in black used a mocking tone as he walked towards the young man.
"You can't abolish my Fa Li. You can't." The young man's expression was somewhat flustered. He suddenly thought of something and hurriedly took off the Spirit Beast Pouch from his waist. He threw it into the air and let out a low cry.
After the multicolored light shot out, a large bird covered in azure feathers appeared in front of everyone. The large azure bird circled in the air once before landing in front of the young man.
"Azure Winged Bird? Interesting. "The man in black held his chin with one hand and revealed a trace of interest on his face.
The young man didn't say anything else and climbed onto the back of the large azure bird. The large azure bird flapped its enormous wings and flew into the air. Not long after, it appeared at an altitude of over a hundred feet.
The young man looked down and saw that the man in black didn't chase after him. He couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
As a direct descendant of a Core Formation cultivator, he had been doted on since he was young. When had he ever suffered such grievances? If it wasn't for the fact that the Taiqing Palace was the number one Righteous Sect, he wouldn't even want to enter this sect!
