Although they had eaten at Shandian Xiaozhu many times, the diners were still amazed by today's garlic chili sauce grilled oysters.

That was completely different from the food I had eaten before.

If I had to say, it's somewhat similar to seafood in a broth, but it has its own unique flavor.

After eating, I felt a bit hot all over, and those with a Daoist partner inexplicably missed their partner.

As for Buddha Jumps Over the Wall...

The harsher the insults were just now, the harder the slap in the face will be.

Even though my face was swollen from being slapped, I still have to give it a thumbs up and say it's delicious.

Of course, it's a mixed bag of joy and sorrow.

These powerful figures in the cultivation world never dreamed that their fellow disciples or fellow students, or even themselves, who they spent every day with, would be corrupted by that mysterious power.

A sense of crisis and intense unease began to grow in my heart.

Ye Feng had a clear view of every plant and tree in the mountaintop cottage.

The reactions of all the diners were also on full display.

He noted down those who were not affected, those who were somewhat affected, and those who were deeply affected.

This force has already launched two attacks on the Shushan Sword Sect. If we don't prepare in advance, even I, as a Supreme Being, will have a hard time stopping them when they come a third time.

Therefore, he needs to prepare for both possibilities.

First, naturally, we must increase our efforts to improve the strength of the sect's disciples.

One supreme being is not enough, but what about three?

Five?

A group?

The disciples of the Shushan Sword Sect are now all of the highest caliber!

To produce a group of Mahayana practitioners and a group of supreme beings, although some or many opportunities are still needed, what one has in abundance is the ability to create opportunities.

Second, identify all potential and powerful enemies.

If I sense something is amiss, I wouldn't mind striking first!

This leads to the need for a third contingency plan.

That is to use one's delicious food to eliminate the mysterious power of more people!

If my points system works properly, I believe I will be able to create even more delicious foods that can dispel mysterious forces.

At that point, at least the internal strife within the cultivation world will be transformed into a defense against external enemies.

Judging from the previous visitor from outside the realm, he was certain that it was impossible for only his realm to be affected by that mysterious force.

The only thing to worry about now is whether the Immortal Realm has been affected!

...

While Ye Feng was making his own plans, an emergency meeting was being held in an unknown, void-like place.

Nine terrifying figures, each thousands of feet tall, sat together.

If any cultivator saw these figures, they would surely faint from fright.

Could there really be such a terrifying demon in this world?

What level of cultivator would it take to encounter and pass this level?

The tallest figure spoke up: "Each region shall report its task targets and plans for this year."

The person sitting to his left replied directly: "Reporting to the Dark Emperor, our domain's mission target is a 20% cultivator elimination rate, and the current actual elimination rate is 25%."

The second person then said, "Your Majesty, our domain's mission target is an 18% cultivator elimination rate, but the current actual elimination rate is 20%."

"Your Majesty, the target for our domain is 21%, but the actual elimination rate is 22%."

...

The reports were submitted one by one, and even the worst performer met the target.

The last figure, which appeared slightly more ethereal than the others, remained silent for a long time.

The Dark Emperor's majestic voice rang out: "Kill Heart, report on the situation in your domain."

The Demon of Killing Intent dared not remain silent and hurriedly said, "Reporting to the Dark Emperor, our domain's target is 25%, but the actual elimination rate is... 8%."

When it came to the final numbers, the voice of the Demon of Slaughter was barely audible.

The other tribulation demons were also greatly surprised when they heard what the murderous tribulation demon said.

In the past, the missions involving killing intent were completed very well, so why is there so little this time?

The Dark Emperor said, his anger barely contained, "The reason."

Killing Heart Demon hurriedly explained in a trembling voice, "Dark Emperor, please forgive me, the reason why our domain's targets are set so high is entirely because our domain has the only sword cultivator sect. In the past, the targets were achieved because we deliberately targeted this sword cultivator sect."

"But...but for some unknown reason, these sword cultivators, regardless of their cultivation level, can actually kill the children I sent! Even disciples at the Enlightenment Realm can defeat and kill the children with the highest cultivation level of two thousand years! In the past year, all the children I sent to the Shu Mountain Sword Sect have been wiped out, with not a single survivor!"

“My children will be reborn in the Rebirth Pool after they die, but each rebirth will consume my original body. Look at me.”

After saying that, the Demon of Killing Intent stood up and stretched out his arms to display his illusory figure.

"My power is already reduced by five or six tenths. My death is a small matter, but if it delays Your Majesty the Dark Emperor's grand plan, then I will not atone for it even if I die a hundred times."

After saying this, the Demon of Killing Intent knelt heavily on the ground, his head bowed deeply.

The Dark Emperor carefully examined the figure of the Killing Heart Demon.

That illusory body was indeed caused by too many deaths.

When did the Shushan Sword Sect acquire such combat power?

If it were just one or two genius disciples, that would be understandable. But why were all the disciples of the sect able to transcend tribulation and kill?

Are the disciples of the Shushan Sword Sect already this talented?

Or perhaps... they've figured out how to deal with children?!

Thinking of this, the Dark Emperor reached out and flicked out a small, jet-black ball.

The small ball spun rapidly and landed directly in front of the Killing Heart Demon kneeling on the ground.

"This magical artifact can help you split into five special children. After the special children die, they will bring back their memories. Kill Heart, you must do a good job of every detail after the children arrive. I need to know the most accurate reason."

The Demon of Killing Intent knelt on the ground, his head banging loudly.

"Thank you, Lord Dark Emperor. I will take good care of these five children when I return, and find out the true strength of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect as soon as possible."

The Dark Emperor looked around and instructed, "When you return, give your children a task: when other sects' tribulations are about to be killed, have them use information about the Shu Mountain Sword Sect to buy their lives. If the information is important enough, their sect's mortality rate can be increased by one percent."

The powerful demon lords bowed in agreement, and the Demon of Killing Intent also stood up at the Dark Emperor's signal.

"Although we are products of the negative emotions and energy of the Heavenly Dao, we absolutely cannot accept such an identity! We must use our own efforts to suppress more cultivators and strengthen our clan's power. I suspect that the Shushan Sword Sect must have mastered a secret treasure or method targeting our clan. Fortunately, this method is currently only in their hands and has not been spread. We must take this opportunity to launch more holy punishments against the Shushan Sword Sect! At the same time, when other sects are undergoing tribulations, we must spread the news that the Shushan Sword Sect has a 100% success rate in undergoing tribulations. By having them target the Shushan Sword Sect, we can achieve our goal."

...

Ye Feng suddenly felt a pang of heart palpitation and couldn't help but furrow his brows.

This feeling is very unpleasant.
