Gu Jian spoke without hesitation.

"No problem, Master."

Gu Jian's longevity value decreased, reaching 25,000.

At the same time, a secret manual emitting a purple light appeared out of thin air in front of Gu Jian.

The manual was inscribed with five ancient characters: "Ghost Shadow Holy Soul Step".

Gu Jian reached out and reached for the manual.

The next second, the manual recording the Ghost Shadow Holy Soul Step transformed into light and entered Gu Jian's mind.

[You began practicing the "Ghost Shadow Holy Soul Step," and due to your extraordinary talent, you mastered it instantly. The "Ghost Shadow Holy Soul Step" has reached a state of consummate skill.]

Gu Jian had never practiced the Ghost Shadow Holy Soul Step.

But at this moment, he had reached a level of consummate skill.

Gu Jian was overjoyed, and after mastering the Ghost Shadow Holy Soul Step, he discovered its unparalleled wonder.

The power of this movement technique is reflected in two aspects.

On one hand, there is "Ghost Shadow," which, after cultivation, grants one a ghostly speed.

On the other hand, it is about concealment.

It conceals not only one's physical body, but also the aura of the whole body and even the soul.

With his current mastery of the Ghost Shadow Holy Soul Step.

Unless one's cultivation reaches the peak of Nirvana or the Supreme Realm.

Otherwise, no one would have noticed that he had used the Ghostly Soul Step.

"Even those at the Reincarnation Realm can't detect me? This is truly defying the heavens!"

Gu Jian muttered to himself.

Back then, Wang Deshan, who was in the Samsara Realm, chased him all the way.

If Gu Jian had possessed this technique back then.

Wang Deshan couldn't catch him at all.

"Now that I possess the Ghostly Shadow Holy Soul Step, I can start something big."

"On my way here, I saw some demon legions stationed outside the Demon Capital. I took a longer route then. Maybe I can kill some demons now and earn some longevity points!"

"That's fine, let's frame the person impersonating me."

Gu Jian muttered to himself, his eyes gleaming.

Since Ye Chen started the first day of the month, don't blame him for doing the fifteenth.

With these thoughts in mind, Gu Jian gave a cold laugh, his figure vanished from the spot, and then leaped out of the window, heading towards the demon army camp outside the city...

[You were buried among the Wolf Demon Soldiers, Level 4, and gained 400 Longevity Points!]

[You were buried among the Wolf Demon Soldiers, Level 4, and gained 400 Longevity Points!]

[You were buried in the Leopard Demon Centurion, Level 5, and gained 800 Longevity Points!]

[...]

For two consecutive days, Gu Jian killed over a hundred demons through surprise attacks.

To directly enter the demon army camp and kill the demons is an extremely daring act.

Yet each time, Gu Jian managed to escape unscathed thanks to his Ghostly Soul Step.

Starting on the third day, Gu Jian stopped killing.

This is because the demon army camp is being guarded more and more heavily.

Some demon leaders whose cultivation had reached the Nirvana Realm also began to investigate the matter.

However, Gu Jian still managed to secretly take some of the spoils of war—

The heads of some demons were thrown into the backyard of the mansion where the imposters were located and buried.

The rest of the demon corpses were all thrown into the Longevity Demon Palace and buried in the Tomb of Gods and Demons, becoming his Longevity Points.

One hundred demons brought him a total of about 30,000 longevity points.

His total growth value increased to 56,000.

On the other side.

Using the Qiankun Technique to find clues about Gu Jian, Feng Yantong, who then split up with Ye Qingcheng, was the first to arrive at Meicheng.

Feng Yantong did not cultivate the demonic or monster paths.

However, infiltrating the city was not a difficult task for her, who possessed the cultivation level of the Supreme Realm.

Because Feng Yantong carried the jade flute that Gu Jian had given her years ago, she followed the aura of Gu Jian that was on the jade flute.

She found Gu Jian's place without spending too much time or effort.

Feng Yantong also used her powerful divine sense to see the people living inside.

The people inside had disguised themselves.

But with his heartbreakingly white hair and aura that resonated somewhat with the jade flute.

Feng Yantong immediately recognized that the person named Li Taibai in the courtyard was Gu Jian.

Seeing Gu Jian flipping through books in the room, Feng Yantong smiled.

"Sword'er, I've finally found you. You actually came to Meidu, and you're even looking at some demonic script. What are you planning to do?"

Feng Yantong muttered to herself, a hint of doubt on her face.

But there was a different kind of light in her eyes when she looked at Gu Jian.

Feng Yantong didn't know what was wrong with her. Looking at Gu Jian, she felt both heartache and other emotions...

After using her identity token to inform Ye Qingcheng that she had found Gu Jian and sharing the address of her inn with Ye Qingcheng, Feng Yantong continued reading.

But Gu Jian put down his book and went to the water room.

Feng Yantong's stunningly beautiful face flushed, and her eyes widened...

The next day, Gu Jian followed Bian Daque to the place where the literary examination of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom was held.

The examination venue for the written test was the same as that of the State of Chu, which was originally the office area of ​​the Ministry of Personnel of Chu, but was divided into small rooms.

Over a thousand people will participate in the assessment today.

In addition, there were some onlookers.

The area outside the examination hall was noisy and chaotic.

All of them were figures of humans, demons, and monsters.

Gu Jian entered the examination hall with the token that resembled an admission ticket and found his assigned examination seat.

The exam lasted a total of two and a half hours.

After all the candidates who were demonic cultivators or monster cultivators entered the examination hall.

The exam papers were handed out quickly.

It was an exam paper written in a demonic script.

This kind of cat paw writing is really incomprehensible to ordinary people.
