It's just a simulation game, how did the fairy become real?

But what about the relationship between the Celestial Master and Lu Wuyai?

The more you think about it, the more confused you become.

The other party has lost track of you and seems to have given up on hiding it.

In a short time, the number of cultivators searching for you increased several times over.

Even those at the Nascent Soul stage, whom we hadn't seen before, have shown themselves.

What you didn't expect was that using the exact same hiding methods as before yielded completely different results.

Even if those Nascent Soul stage cultivators walked right past you from a wall away, they still wouldn't be able to detect your presence.

The only difference between you and before is that you now have a complete bracelet.

You have begun a new round of experiments.

Although He Xingyao couldn't control that aura, she could manipulate the city using the bracelet, controlling it indirectly.

[By taking advantage of the confrontation, you successfully used the bracelets to suppress the other cultivators, forcing out a large amount of death energy from their bodies.]

You learn from them that they remained relatively conscious while being controlled.

However, everything seen was distorted.

Their every move was being guided.

[These cultivators, in their own understanding, are merely hunting down demons as they search for and attack you.]

[However, the ways in which these people contracted the virus were varied.]

Aside from those who were affected by the Thousand Machines Sect's puppets, the rest couldn't quite explain why they were controlled.

"At the current rate, the whole world is probably doomed."

He Xingyao sighed.

After the monks regained their senses, they released them all.

Even those at the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages couldn't withstand the attack, so those with even lower cultivation levels need not be mentioned further.

This was a complete disaster.

"The world won't end so quickly, my master should be fine."

“How come you see?”

"Longhu Mountain should not have been attacked yet. My master has always been in contact with me through jade talismans."

In my recent replies, I made a point of testing the waters.

That kind of reply habit could never be from my master.

Daosheng explained with a relaxed expression.

A fully formed Nascent Soul cultivator should possess the means to resist attacks.

The other party used the jade talisman to release false information, most likely using some means to trap Master and Lu Wuyai.

"But we haven't even seen their true form yet, so how can we talk about fighting back?"

The mastermind has been hiding all along. Whether it was the demons before or the cultivators now, they were all just puppets controlled by the other party.

"There's no problem luring the other person out."

But the problem is how to take them down.

First, find a way to locate my master!

[You already have a plan in mind. Since the other party is trying every means to get the bracelet on He Xingyao's wrist, why not use it as bait to lure them out?]

However, before that, you need a Taoist master to back you up.

[You suppressed the controlled cultivators along the way, piecing together clues about the Celestial Master from their mouths.]

However, despite being a Nascent Soul cultivator at the peak of his cultivation, the Celestial Master was an elusive figure, rarely seen.

Even the senior disciples and elders of Longhu Mountain didn't know the Celestial Master's exact location.

You wasted a lot of time on unfounded rumors and speculation.

However, during this process, you encountered an unexpected person.

[Demonic cultivator, Netherworld.]

[The opponent, being a Nascent Soul stage demonic cultivator, is indeed formidable in combat. However, after encountering you, they consistently held back a portion of their power.]

Even after being suppressed and evolved, the opponent still maintained a restraining effect.

You're very strange.

[The opponent is only at the mid-Nascent Soul stage, but the aura accumulated within them far surpasses that of any cultivator you have ever encountered.]

[Based on normal reasoning, the other party should have been assimilated long ago.]

Under your persistent questioning, the other party revealed a name that surprised you.

【Chaoyuan Zong. 】

That was one of the sects you visited after you achieved Golden Core.

You clearly remember that sect was the strongest righteous sect near Tianxing City.

However, through Youxuan's words, you witnessed a different side of the Chaoyuan Sect.

The actions of this sect are even more egregious than those of demons.

[Youxuan has been able to hold out until now not because of her own strength, but because of a type of elixir possessed by the Chaoyuan Sect.]

That thing allows him to expel the invading aura from his body to some extent.

This is also the key to his ability to maintain his clarity of mind.

Having found a direction, you immediately decided to go to Chaoyuan Sect in person.

[Youxuan, without hesitation, requested to be the vanguard.]

He had originally intended to part ways amicably with Chao Yuanzong, but the other party had been constantly scheming against him. Since that was the case, there was nothing more to say.

[Since the pretense of civility has already been broken, and despite being a demonic cultivator, I can still uphold righteousness and openly force my way into the Chaoyuan Sect.]

[I have to say, it was awesome!]

[Youxuan's understanding of the Chaoyuan Sect far exceeds your imagination.]

To prevent the Chaoyuan Sect from harming him and to eliminate any future trouble, he had indeed hidden many contingency plans within this sect.

Unfortunately, this time it was caught off guard and difficult to prevent.

Just as he had predicted, You Xuan forcefully stormed into the entire sect.

[A grand and impressive display.]

[The two of you, under his cover, quickly bypassed the gaps in the Chaoyuan Sect's protective array and silently slipped into the sect.]

[The interior of Chaoyuan Sect is much cleaner than you expected.]

But as Youxuan said, all the sordid affairs were moved elsewhere by Sect Master Chaoyuan.

[Following the locations Youxuan mentioned, you explored the area.]

Aside from witnessing some demonic behavior, you found not a single trace of the Celestial Master.

The sounds of fighting outside grew increasingly intense.

But you know in your heart that this is a signal from Youxuan.

[Trying to overthrow Emperor Chaoyuan single-handedly is no easy task, and with such a large-scale effort, it seems rather stretched thin.]

You can either continue your investigation, or take this opportunity to leave the sect and seek other opportunities.

However, after this battle, Emperor Chaoyuan will undoubtedly be more cautious.

If you were to try to sneak in again, it wouldn't be as easy as it is now.

You are in a dilemma.

Just as you made up your mind to leave and make further plans, He Xingyao suddenly noticed something amiss.

The bracelet reacts strongly in certain open spaces.

After thorough investigation, you found nothing unusual.

[Make a firm decision, launch an attack, and forcefully bombard this area.]

[Under your relentless assault, a deep, hidden passage has appeared before you.]

Chapter 143 Demonic Cultivators Arrive

"Master!"

Daosheng did not walk too far down the passage. In the small space, not only was the Celestial Master imprisoned, but Lu Wuyai was also present.

Besides them, there were actually other Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

"Celestial Master~"

How about it~

I told you he'd come, didn't I?

The Celestial Master didn't react much, but Lu Wuyai seemed quite happy, as if he had predicted this scene would occur.

Just as Daosheng was about to approach, he keenly noticed the arrangement hidden in the shadows.

The place of confinement is filled with arrays, and hidden inside the arrays is a large amount of decaying aura.

He would be attacked instantly if he dared to cross the line.

"Kid, if you can't handle these things, you'd better go back to Longhu Mountain as soon as possible."

At least that place won't be invaded.

Lu Wuyai scooped up a handful of things out of thin air, his palm filled with grayish-white.

"We can hold on for now."
