A look of compassion flashed across Xuan Ji's eyes, but he remained unmoved and continued to chant Buddhist mantras.
The faces of those blood-soaked figures gradually became ferocious.
"What kind of master are you if you stand by and watch someone die without helping? I think you're even worse than the most despicable demon cultivator in the world!"
"You are a fraud and a thief, yet you dare call yourself a master? Hahaha, how ridiculous! Go to hell with me..."
However, no matter how these scenes change, Xuan Ji always sticks to his original heart and is not deceived by illusions.
Even Meng Wan, a master of illusion, had to sigh that this monk was really a tough nut to crack!
Forget it, she should just withdraw first.
Meng Wan removed the illusion, and her figure flashed and disappeared on the spot.
After the illusion disappeared, the scene in front of Xuan Ji gradually returned to normal, but Meng Wan was no longer around.
He couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: "You are so stubborn..."
As soon as Meng Wan returned to the valley, she ran into Qingyu head-on.
Qing Yu saw her escaping back using the Escape Technique and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, "Why are you in such a hurry? Did you encounter a strong enemy?"
Meng Wan didn't deny it. "It was bad luck. I ran into the monk from Xuanhu Temple. I exchanged a few moves with him, but I didn't get the upper hand."
Qingyu's expression was stern. "Xuanhu Temple? Did you meet the Buddhist disciple Xuanji?"
Meng Wan nodded.
Even though Qingyu was confident in his own strength, his expression became much more serious at this moment.
"The skills of those bald donkeys are most effective against us demon cultivators. It's better to be careful when encountering them."
Meng Wan and Qing Yu chatted briefly, then returned to their rooms to continue practicing the secret technique.
It was not until the competition officially began that Meng Wan ended her training, walked out of the room and reunited with the others.
Fairy Wumeng was dressed in white clothes as white as snow. She stood in front of the disciples of Xuanyin Sect, and her cold voice echoed throughout the valley.
"In this competition, you must give it your all and don't slack off!"
Everyone responded in unison, their voices shaking the sky.
Fairy Wumeng nodded with satisfaction and led everyone to a desolate mine.
In addition to the five major sects, people from other smaller sects also came.
Many people are secretly looking at the opponents around them, especially the saints and saintesses from various sects and schools, who are the main targets of attention.
After everyone arrived, the Jindan Elder who presided over the competition spoke.
"Recently, many cultivators have been circling around the mine, coveting the mineral veins within. Therefore, the purpose of this competition is to hunt down these villains."
Elder Jindan looked around, his eyes sweeping over the disciples participating in the competition.
"The competition will last for three days. After three days, the ranking will be determined based on the number of kills and the cultivation level of the hunted monks.
In this competition, life or death is of the essence. You can form teams or act alone.
But remember, you must not kill your fellow disciples. Violators will be severely punished!"
But at this moment, a slightly hesitant voice sounded.
"Senior, among those cultivators, there seem to be quite a few Jindan-stage masters..."
The speaker was a handsome young cultivator named Zhou Ziang. He had reached the peak of the foundation-building stage and was a disciple of a small sect.
As soon as these words came out, many people's eyes fell on him.
Feeling everyone's gaze, Zhou Ziang couldn't help but feel a little nervous, but he still continued speaking.
"Senior, I'm not questioning the arrangements of the five major sects, but those Jindan cultivators, some of whom have been famous for a long time, are far more powerful than Foundation Establishment disciples like me.
In this case, isn't the difficulty of this assessment a bit too great?"
As soon as he finished speaking, another person stood up and refuted.
"That's wrong! We are all elite disciples carefully selected from various sects. It's not an exaggeration to say that we are golden elixir seeds. How can we be afraid of some idle and unrestrained cultivators?
Moreover, if we really encounter a strong enemy, we can just flee to the mines. With so many Jindan seniors here, those villains will surely not dare to go deep into them."
Someone sneered and echoed.
"This fellow Daoist is absolutely right. We came here to hone ourselves. If we can't even withstand this challenge, how can we expect to ascend to the immortal realm in the future?
If anyone feels the assessment is too difficult, they can simply withdraw."
Hearing such impolite words, Zhou Ziang felt embarrassed and dared not say anything.
The Jindan Elder who presided over the competition took in everyone's reactions and nodded slightly.
"Since everyone has no objection, then let it be so decided. In this competition, life and death are your own responsibility, so take care of yourself!"
After saying that, he closed his eyes and began to rest.
Seeing this, everyone took action, using their magical powers to rush towards the outskirts of the mine.
Looking at the direction where the disciples of Jinyun Sect left, Li Potian smiled proudly and spoke to Meng Wan and Qingyu.
"You two, why don't we go together for now, and then hunt separately when we reach the outer areas?"
Meng Wan and Qing Yu naturally did not refuse. Led by Li Potian, the group flew towards the edge of the mine.
When the disciples of Jinyun Sect heard the sound of wind behind them and saw that it was the evil cultivator of Xuanyin Sect, they couldn't help but cry out in bad luck and quickly told Qin Shaoyang and Mu Xueyan about it.
"Brother Qin, Sister Mu, the people from the Xuanyin Sect are following us and they look like they have bad intentions. What should we do?"
Qin Shaoyang's eyes darkened when he heard this.
This group of demon cultivators are like crazy. The competition has just begun. Are they going to cause trouble?
However, the Fairy Miaoyin, Mu Xueyan, is very tough.
"These demonic cultivators are nothing but those who have no connection to the righteous path and can only seek out unorthodox ways. Do you really think that our Jinyun Sect is afraid of them?"
Upon hearing this, the disciples of Jinyun Sect were cheered up, but then they remembered something and their faces became bitter again.
"But they have three Saint Son-level warriors. If we really confront them head-on, I'm afraid we'll suffer a minor loss..."
Mu Xueyan's eyes turned cold, "Since they want to follow us, then let them follow us. Let's go!"
After saying that, he quickened his pace.
The disciples of Jinyun Sect followed closely behind and continued to walk towards the edge of the mine.
Seeing this, Li Potian, Meng Wan and others also sped up and followed them from a distance.
However, when the Xuanyin Sect members arrived at the edge of the mine, a fierce murderous aura attacked from the flank!
"not good!"
Li Potian's heart was filled with alarm. He quickly avoided the attack and turned around suddenly.
Several figures came breaking through the air, the two in the lead were none other than Xiao Yi, the Son of Heaven's Eye of the Divine Will Sect, and Hua Li, the Saintess of Flower Shadow.
Xiao Yi stood with his hands behind his back, surrounded by a biting cold air.
Huali gently shook the flower basket in her hand, and countless petals flew towards the people of Xuanyin Sect with a heart-pounding murderous intent.
"Xiao Yi! Huali! What do you mean?"
Li Potian roared, and shook the giant axe in his hand violently. A violent force swept out, shattering the attacking petals.
Xiao Yi sneered, "What do you mean? Of course I'm sending you demon cultivators to hell!"
Before he finished speaking, a chilling light shot out from his eyes and rushed straight towards Li Potian.
Huali also attacked at the same time, and countless vines flew out of the flower basket, wrapping around Li Potian like poisonous snakes.
