The Three Geniuses of the Demon Cult
Among the ten interviewees, Lu Yang was sixth. He also noticed that the people in front of him would enter the examiner's room and then run out, only to sprint out again, and then run back in, repeating this several times.
"What kind of strange test question is this?"
Lu Yang was a restless person. The rules stipulated that he was not allowed to ask the candidates about the interview content, but they did not say that he could not go out and take a look.
Lu Yang asked a rogue cultivator from the demonic Rogue Cultivator who was resting with his eyes closed, "Would you like to go outside and take a look?"
The rogue Rogue Cultivator glanced at Lu Yang with disdain, gave a cold smile, and said nothing.
How could demonic cultivators act collectively? They must be trying to trap me. No way, I'm not going.
Seeing that the other party did not answer, Lu Yang felt pity.
He's quite handsome, it's just a pity he's deaf. I wonder what will happen if he can't hear the interviewer during the interview?
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Lu Yang went outside.
Outside is a bustling market, with vendors selling fruit, eggs, pork... all the common foods can be found here, with vendors either setting up stalls or pushing carts to sell their wares.
"Give me an apple." Lu Yang bought an apple, wiped it, and started eating it while observing the interviewee's behavior.
Just then, a third person ran out to see if there were any potatoes for sale. Upon seeing that there were, he immediately went back to report to the examiner.
Less than three minutes later, a third person ran out again and asked the potato seller how much potatoes cost per pound and how many pounds of potatoes he had in total.
Three minutes later, a third person came out to check the quality of the potatoes.
Then came the fourth person, whose process was basically the same as the third person's, except that he made four trips and wasn't as quick-witted as the third person.
Lu Yang ate an apple, lost in thought.
"Next, Fang Hao," the chubby examiner called out.
Fang Hao is the person Lu Yang just asked if he wanted to go out together.
"Here!" Surprisingly, Fang Hao wasn't mute.
"Go to the market and see if they sell potatoes," the fat examiner said, repeating his old trick.
Fang Hao rushed out and didn't return for a long time, which puzzled the fat examiner.
Just as the portly examiner was growing impatient, Fang Haoran returned. "There are no potatoes for sale at the market."
"How many pounds of potatoes... wait, what did you say? There are no potatoes for sale?"
Fang Hao didn't understand why the fat examiner reacted so strongly, and nodded, "Yes, I walked around the market twice and confirmed that there were no potatoes for sale."
"That's impossible!" The fat examiner thought Fang Hao was lying to him, so he hurriedly ran out, with Fang Hao following closely behind.
As soon as the fat examiner stepped outside, he saw Lu Yang pushing a cart full of potatoes, with a sign on the cart that read "Potatoes not for sale."
The old man who was supposed to be selling potatoes was happily counting his money on the side.
As soon as Lu Yang saw the fat examiner, he pushed Potato and ran away. The fat examiner was furious. What about the rest of the interview if Potato runs away?
"Stop right there!!"
Lu Yang customs clearance.
"Outrageous!" The vice-leader roared in fury, unleashing a domineering and terrifying aura that shook the entire hall and rippled across the pool, obscuring the scene.
His meticulously designed test was riddled with flaws in the face of these two scoundrels; it was a complete disgrace!
The cult leader calmly covered up the vice cult leader's aura. He had finally managed to build the main hall in a place that was not easy to find. If the righteous sects found out about this, it would be a laughing stock.
The cult leader advised, "Don't get angry so easily. They've forgotten everything; all they remember is finding a way to pass the level. We are the Demonic Cult, our motto is to kill and resurrect immortals. How can we kill for something like this?"
"Furthermore, these two are rare talents who have taken a different approach. The Immortal Cult has never made any major breakthroughs in its development, and I think these two are the hope."
The vice-leader felt that the Immortal Cult was hopeless.
The cult leader said with a hint of excitement, "Speaking of which, this guy named Man Gu, as well as Meng Jingzhou and Lu Yang, are all from Yanjiang County, right?"
"I never imagined that such a small county as Yanjiang could produce three such talents. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them the Three Heroes of the Demonic Sect. With these three heroes, our Demonic Sect is like a tiger with wings!"
The vice-leader muttered to himself, "Like adding wings to a tiger, isn't that just like Qiongqi? Even Qiongqi can't defeat the righteous path."
The cult leader glared at him. "Trying to show off your culture, shut up."
The vice-leader should shut up.
Yanjiang Rudder.
Eleven deacons exerted all their strength to maintain the great formation, while nearly a hundred rogue cultivators of the demonic Rogue Cultivator stood there blankly, their eyes glazed over, their minds blank, their thoughts testing their physical bodies instead of their physical forms.
Maintaining the grand formation was incredibly tedious, so the stewards chatted while consuming Qi-restoring pills. "Qin Yuanhao has been missing for so long, he's probably dead."
"He's definitely dead, but we don't know how. I've said it before, that kid was always scheming and plotting, thinking he had everything under control. Sooner or later he'd anger his enemies. We should take care of him under the cover of darkness."
"Qin Yuanhao's body has still not been found."
"Was he killed by his enemy?"
"What else could it be? Could it be that his benefactor repaid kindness with enmity and killed him? We don't have any benefactors in our line of work."
"How come I heard that Qin Yuanhao went to a brothel with Wang Dazui the night before he died?"
The deacons chuckled softly, their laughter rising and falling in waves.
Just as Qin Yuanhao had hoped, Wang Dazui spread rumors everywhere about how Qin Yuanhao and he themselves were invincible and how they had fought their way in and out of brothels seven times.
Then Qin Yuanhao died.
As a result, rumors spread along the Yanjiang River that Qin Yuanhao had died from exhaustion.
If Qin Yuanhao knew this in the afterlife, he could rest in peace.
"I wonder how many of this batch will pass the test."
Although many people participate in the initiation ceremony, only one in ten will successfully pass the test and become a full member.
They all went through similar trials to become deacons and knew the difficulty involved.
This time, the vice-leader is personally in charge, and the difficulty level is definitely among the highest of all the trials!
"Only the leader knows the result." The eleven people looked at the leader who was in meditation.
The branch leader also used the grand formation to enter the mysterious space built by the Immortal Sect, where all branch leaders could see the performance of their respective branches.
Lu Yang and his two companions performed exceptionally well, making the leader's face beam with joy.
However, he was wearing a mask, so no one could see how happy he was.
He excitedly muttered to himself, "If these three can pass the test smoothly and receive high praise from above, the Yanjiang Branch's year-end performance will definitely be among the top. If I further manipulate things and improve my cultivation, I might be transferred to a wealthy area as a branch leader next year, or even be directly promoted to a hall master!"
After the three tests are completed, the deputy leader or the leader will give an evaluation to the new followers who performed well in the tests. For example, Qin Yuanhao's evaluation was "demon nature to the bone".
The leader believed that Lu Yang and the other two were definitely more highly regarded than Qin Yuanhao.
These three are obviously no good!
