Chapter 199

Actually, Cheng Hui didn't do anything. If he had gone too far in the Tianlan Sword Sect's assessment, it would not only have harmed the candidates, but also Luo Yuntian who brought him to repair the magic circle.

All we can say is that Cheng Hui's mind was still a little confused at this time. He had an inexplicable inferiority complex about his feelings. In the confusion, he accidentally added a lot of messy plots to the illusion.

The content of the Heart-Testing Formation mostly requires candidates to go out and gain experience after completing their studies, and then occasionally pass through some towns where demonic cultivators are wreaking havoc, to see if they can find the traces of the demonic cultivators in the process of unraveling the mystery. After discovering that the demonic cultivators are almost invincible, they will either save themselves and escape or sacrifice themselves to death.

Neither of these two choices is actually wrong. After all, the elders all have different personalities. The courage to sacrifice is certainly a noble quality, but some elders prefer those who remain useful and then take revenge later.

But no matter which one, it is absolutely not advisable to bow down and submit to the evil cultivators, or even be tempted by the evil cultivators to become one with them. Whenever such a thing happens, you will be eliminated without exception.

In fact, Cheng Hui did not deliberately make things difficult for the candidates. It was just that while he was repairing and improving the magic circle, all he could think about was the things between him and Lin Qingyang.

What the illusion array will conjure up often depends on the thoughts of the person who set it up at the time. So the chaotic thoughts in Cheng Hui's mind, combined with the illusion array, turned into some... melodramatic plots.

After seeing the magic circle he had repaired, Cheng Hui almost fell to the ground with his head.

He never imagined that one day he would actually be so imaginative and act out a melodrama.

To be honest, even idol dramas wouldn't dare to act like this. He actually put everything into an illusion when he was imagining it.

Cheng Hui: ...I feel guilty!

He didn't want to do that, but... he accidentally imagined all kinds of melodramatic ethical and family dramas.

If it were just this kind of plot, there would be nothing wrong with it, but when it is combined with the original magic cultivation plot of the illusion array... it suddenly changes.

The lover I'd loved for years turned out to be an undercover agent of the Demon Cultivator. The brother I'd shared life and death with turned out to be an undercover agent of the Demon Cultivator. My entire family and parents were undercover agents of the Demon Cultivator... What? I was also an undercover agent of the Demon Cultivator?!

After this set of Infernal Affairs came out, the candidates who took part in the examination were completely stunned.

You should know that the older candidates taking these tests are already in their teens. The mind-testing array has no effect on younger children. Only those with complete cognition can enter this array.

These teenage boys and girls were already considered adults here, and at this age, they were just beginning to fall in love. They had beautiful dreams, but before they even entered the sect, they were hit by Cheng Hui's attack, which was filled with deep malice...

Cheng Hui: ...I'm not! I didn't! Don't talk nonsense!

Being betrayed by lovers and friends is still okay, but being cheated by parents and relatives is really painful. The worst one was that he himself was an undercover agent, but in order to hide his identity, he sealed his memory. After he recovered the so-called "memory", he was completely dumbfounded and stood there not knowing what to do.

For a moment, even the elders who were watching from above were stunned by the cruel plot of this illusion.

"Hiss... What a cruel heart."

"This boy can even harm his own parents and relatives. He is truly cold-hearted and heartless."

"You can't say that. He must be sacrificing his own family for the sake of justice."

"Eh... My brother who shared life and death with me turned out to be a demon cultivator. It's normal that he feels he has a hard time making a decision."

"No! Demon cultivators are demon cultivators, and all demon cultivators should be killed! How can you drag your feet like this?"

The elders all had different opinions, but they were all very satisfied with the content of this illusion.

Although the previous plots of fighting against demonic cultivators could also test the character of these people, they were not as profound as this time. When their lovers, friends, relatives and friends are all demonic cultivators, can these people still remain upright and not be deceived by the demonic cultivators?

Killing demons and eliminating evil has never been just a matter of words. If one is easily deceived by the evil cultivators because of a relationship, how can these people control themselves when faced with stronger temptations?

Demonic cultivators never talk about morality!

Regardless of their thoughts on the examinees below, the elders offered no criticism of the illusionary formation. Isn't it normal for a demon cultivator to disguise themselves as a friend or relative to lure you? Even now, they couldn't guarantee that there were no demon cultivator spies within the Tianlan Sword Sect.

The most brutal and unusual battle that their Tianlan Sword Sect had ever experienced was when the eldest disciple of a certain generation of the sect leader was bewitched by a demonic cultivator and, in order to compete for the position of sect leader, secretly attacked his competitors.

But he didn't expect that the man who seemed to be as powerful as him was extremely lucky and actually picked up a fragment of the artifact. Although it was just a fragment, it was not something that he, a Jindan cultivator, could resist, and as a result, his identity was exposed.

The entire Tianlan Sword Sect was stunned. Their leader's eldest disciple was actually a demonic cultivator? If he were to succeed, the entire Tianlan Sword Sect would undoubtedly be severely damaged. As everyone followed the clues and unraveled the mystery, they were stunned to discover that the disciple had accidentally saved a woman while traveling, and it was that woman who seduced him and led him to the path of demonic influence.

The elders of Tianlan Sword Sect were all furious. Over the years, this senior brother, the head of the sect, had used his identity to plot against many talented disciples. The elders suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the disciples were getting worse with each generation. They thought it was just bad luck, but it turned out that someone had killed all the talented seeds.

Since then, the Tianlan Sword Sect has hated the evil cultivators even more, but at the same time, it has also strengthened the protection of its own disciples. The Heart Purification Talisman must be carried with them at all times, and if something feels wrong, it must be tested at any time to avoid being tricked by the evil cultivators without realizing it.

It was precisely because of this that they didn't think anything was wrong with Cheng Hui's melodrama. Instead, they took it for granted. Isn't that what demonic cultivators do? It was just right for them to be on guard in advance!

Some elders even decided to go back and find out who was responsible for this journey to immortality. They thought it was a good job and decided to set up such an illusion array on their own peaks. They wanted to let their own brats go through it one by one to gain experience so that they would not be deceived when they go out of the mountain in the future.

Cheng Hui had no idea that his illusion array would have such consequences. At this moment, he faced Luo Yuntian with a guilty look on his face.

"I'm sorry, Fellow Daoist Luo, it's my fault. I was a little distracted at that time..." Cheng Hui apologized sincerely and glared at Lin Qingyang fiercely.

It's all this guy's fault!

Lin Qingyang chuckled secretly. He knew Cheng Hui was taking his anger out on him, but he wasn't angry at all. He would only be worried if Cheng Hui was always polite to him.

Only if you are truly classified into Cheng Hui's circle will you have the chance to be vented his anger on others.

Lin Qingyang had no idea how masochistic his behavior was at the moment, nor did he know that Cheng Hui became even more annoyed after seeing his smile.

Laugh, laugh, laugh! What are you laughing at!

If you hadn't picked an inopportune time, would he have been so lost in thought while repairing the magic circle?

He gave Lin Qingyang a fierce look, but the other party just smiled even more happily...

Cheng Hui: ...I’m very angry!

"Ah? That's okay!" Luo Yuntian was very generous. He laughed heartily, "It's just a slight modification of the illusion array. It's okay. As long as it doesn't affect the assessment, it doesn't matter."

As soon as he finished speaking, a paper crane flew over, pecked his arm lightly, and then landed in his hand and turned into a piece of letter paper.

He opened it, and the smile on his face became even wider. He looked at Cheng Hui: "Fellow Daoist Cheng, are you free these days? Do you want to visit our Tianlan Sword Sect?"

Cheng Hui:?

Seeing the confusion on Cheng Hui's face, Luo Yuntian explained, "Several elders are very satisfied with this magic array. The head of Qijue Peak even invited me to help him set up a similar array. It seems that he wants his disciples to feel the hardships of life as well."

The corner of Cheng Hui's mouth twitched. What's the hardship of life? It's better to say it's the beating of life. Does this peak master think that his disciples are living too well?

But if you have the chance to go to Tianlan Sword Sect, why not go?

That is the number one sect of the righteous path. You will definitely gain a lot of knowledge after going there.

In fact, even without the invitation from the elder, Luo Yuntian also planned to invite Cheng Hui to his own sect to play for two days, but with the invitation from the elder, it would appear more formal.

After Cheng Hui readily agreed, Luo Yuntian went to reply to the elder in a very good mood.

He had no intention of taking credit for Cheng Hui's work. Moreover, this repair gave him a new understanding of Cheng Hui's level of formation skills.

This person is really a super master!

Although the magic circle on their sect's way to immortality was not of the highest quality, it was of a high grade. He guessed that Cheng Hui could repair it after some research, but he never expected that he could not only repair it but also improve it. What was even more terrifying was that the speed was so fast.

A master of formations of this caliber was already enough to warrant a formal reception from the elders of their sect, but the other party had no reputation at all, which put him in a very difficult position.

Later I thought, why not just stop doing those useless things and just invite people over as friends. Then we can attack or defend and everything will be fine.

"Is he really that powerful?"

It was also a coincidence that when Luo Yuntian was reporting on Cheng Hui's affairs, except for the elders of Qi Jue Peak, several other elders were also guarding here.

When they heard that the person who modified the magic circle was a young man who was younger than Luo Yuntian, they were a little bit unbelievable.

You have to know that formations are not something that can be easily understood. People who have made achievements in formations are mostly old men.

There are young people like this, but that requires extremely high talent in formation, and such people often become famous very early. If someone like Cheng Hui was really capable at his age, he should have made a name for himself long ago.

Of course, they didn't think Cheng Hui had the guts to lie to them, and it was even more impossible for Luo Yuntian to help him cheat.

The elders looked at each other and could only believe that Luo Yuntian was just lucky to have found a formation master who was indifferent to fame and fortune.

So, several elders discussed it and decided not to show up for the time being, and let Luo Yuntian contact the other party. This was the safest way since they didn't know the other party's character.

Anyway, they don't have anything to ask of Cheng Hui now, so it's better to let the two of them interact naturally. When their relationship deepens in the future, if Tianlan Sword Sect needs help from a formation master, with Luo Yuntian as a link, they can also make their requests naturally.

Luo Yuntian was also very happy. He didn't want to date Cheng Hui with any specific purpose. This way, he could be free and both parties could relax.

Just like that, Luo Yuntian brought Cheng Hui to Tianlan Sword Sect to play for a few days. In addition to setting up illusion arrays for several peak masters, he also watched the daily life of some disciples who were in high spirits. Cheng Hui left Tianlan Sword Sect with a very happy mood.
