After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 125 Showdown
In fact, the Yue dynasty had been unhappy for a long time.

No, what do these people mean?!

Liu Feng's group was the largest, but so far none of them have gone on stage; they've just been watching from below.

Are you that afraid of dying?
The cultivators today were all gathered by Yue Chao and the other four. They usually formed teams of two or three, but Liu Feng's team had the most people, with eleven including the little girl Mo Jiuwei!
The reason they were chosen is because this team is very rare; they are all young people with good cultivation and aptitude, and only the little kid seems a bit redundant.

But having a little kid is a good thing, because if they make a fuss, it can make them hesitate to act, and even if they fight, they will have to think twice.

But who knew that this team was the most cowardly, and not a single person had taken the field for so long, wasting all their efforts.

The Yue Dynasty couldn't understand how they could be so completely uninterested in spiritual fire.

"No, our abilities are limited, and we are afraid we cannot make the spirit fire submit," Liu Feng said, shaking his head.

"Yeah, yeah, that's terrifying. We plan to leave after they've all tried it. Whoever wants the spirit fire can have it; we're not interested." Hu Jiu shrugged.

"Yes, this spirit fire is really ugly," Du Yue lied through her teeth.

This Black Divine Spirit Fire was different from what she had imagined. Compared to other spiritual fires, this kind of spiritual fire, which affects the divine sense, was not particularly helpful for alchemy and weapon crafting.

Even so, no one would refuse if they could get it.

Du Yue knew very well that she could not obtain it, and that it would be a waste of her talent if the spirit fire were to actually fall into her hands.

A surge of air rose in Yue Chao's chest, almost making him roll his eyes involuntarily.

“You may only have this one opportunity in your lifetime. If you miss it, you may regret it for the rest of your life,” he said.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he realized that these people were not listening to his nonsense and were unmoved.

"Tch—Brother Chao, this won't do. Who are these people you've brought here?" The male cultivator named He Fei mocked Yue Chao without any politeness. "Besides those, here are these few too. Weren't they people you called here as well?"

He Fei pointed to the group of people, which were the long-faced female cultivator and her two companions.

Upon seeing this, Yue Chao's expression worsened.

Now only about thirty people have not stepped forward, but half of them have found their own way here!

"What's wrong with you guys?" Yue Chao asked, frowning.

The long-faced female cultivator's eyes flashed. "I'm going to wait until the very end, what's the rush?"

Yue Chao remained silent, seemingly tacitly approving of her actions.

But just as the long-faced female cultivator breathed a sigh of relief, she heard Xiao Ruo, who was standing on the platform, speak—

"Is it almost time?"

What's almost done?
The long-faced woman looked puzzled, when He Fei replied with a smile, "The timing is perfect."

"What does this mean? What kind of riddles are you playing!" The long-faced female cultivator subconsciously felt that something was wrong, because the expressions and behaviors of these people were really strange.

"Since that's the case, then let's stop pretending."

A woman's voice suddenly rang out, and at the same time, the "maid" serving the "young master" threw down her handkerchief and stood up.

She also spoke up tonight, showing gentle concern for the young master and attentively serving him tea and water.

But now her voice is clearly different, carrying a hint of coldness, where is the gentle demeanor from before?

"What do you mean...?" At this point, the other cultivators also realized something was wrong and looked at them warily.

"Are you going to go on your own, or should we push you up there?"

The "maid" asked coldly, her phoenix eyes sweeping over them with disdain, as if they were nothing more than ants.

No, it's less like looking at ants and more like... looking at a dead person!

"You want to force us? By what right!" someone exclaimed angrily. "It was clearly agreed that we would choose everything ourselves!"

"That's right, didn't you say we could leave once it was over? Are you trying to back out?"

The maid raised her eyes indifferently. "What, you want to resist? Then try."

He then gave a wink, and Yue Chao and the others understood. Together with the people in the shadows, they appeared and surrounded the thirty cultivators present.

Everyone was shocked. Some hurriedly drew their weapons to retaliate, but suddenly their movements froze—

"Oh no, why is my spiritual energy so weak!"

When I was about to use my spiritual energy, I realized that I could only use a little bit. When I tried to use more, I felt a sense of powerlessness, as if all the spiritual energy in my body had been exhausted.

But how is that possible? They were standing here without moving the whole time, so how could the spiritual energy have disappeared?

Suddenly, they looked up at the maids with a start. "Was this your doing? What have you done?!"

After their initial surprise, the others also checked their own spiritual energy, and sure enough, only a little remained.

That's not the point. The point is that when they wanted to fight, they found themselves powerless, as if they would collapse if they exerted even the slightest effort!
I saw a ghost! When did this happen?
Previously, everyone had been excitedly looking at the stage. The person going on stage only needed to extend a little spiritual energy to test the spiritual fire, so no one had noticed anything unusual about their body until now.

Some people panicked and went to their storage bags to retrieve the elixirs, hoping to replenish their spiritual energy by taking some pills.

But the maid chuckled and said, "Don't waste your time. There's some Netherworld Incense burning here. Unless you happen to have the right Netherworld Elimination Pill, you'll have to wait ten hours for things to return to normal."

"What? Orchid Fragrance?"

"How could this happen... What are you trying to do?!"

"Did your Yue family deliberately bring us here? And make us all sacrifice ourselves to the spirit fire... Is this your purpose?" A female cultivator in red quickly realized something and couldn't help but ask, "Do you think you can subdue the spirit fire by doing this?"

"Wow, it's rare to find someone smart."

He Fei was surprised. He chuckled first, then crossed his arms and nodded. "That's right. It's alright to tell you now. You two hundred people are our carefully selected human sacrifices! By sacrificing you to the Black God, it will weaken its own power when it deals with you. With your combined suppression of the heavy iron, the Black God will be easily captured."

The crowd was in an uproar.

"That's it!"

"What despicable methods! What cruel techniques!"

"So this box is made of heavy iron. No wonder I sensed a special aura from it..."

"I understand now, the scent of the orchid must be coming from that young master!"

It was only then that everyone belatedly came to their senses and understood everything.

"Black God? Is that the name of the spirit fire?" The red-clad female cultivator asked, taken aback.
