Fifteen days later.
"How has half a month passed, yet Xu Taiping's points on the Demon-Slaying Ranking are still at one hundred thousand?"
"Haven't you heard? Ever since he killed Zhuyuan, Xu Taiping has been wandering idly around the Ruin Market and Black Prison."
"I saw him in the Heavenly Unity Ruin. He was drinking in the Ruin Market with his Junior Sister, Lin Buyu."
"Does that kid think that once he has a hundred thousand points, his first-place position on the Demon-Slaying Ranking is secure?"
On the Demon-Slaying Platform, two cultivators who had just returned from the Seal Land discussed the Demon-Slaying Ranking before them.
Although Xu Taiping's name still held first place on the Demon-Slaying Ranking, Xiao Huang in second place was now only twenty-three thousand points behind.
Jing Xian in third place was only twenty-five thousand points behind as well.
With ten days remaining until the Chaotic Stars Assembly ended, it was still hard to say who would ultimately claim the top spot.
"Three Corpses Cave, Lin Buyu, nineteen thousand merit points earned, currently ranked fourth on the Demon-Slaying Ranking."
Just then, a Flame Guard on the raised platform beneath the Demon-Slaying Ranking read out the announcement.
At these words, the cultivators on the Demon-Slaying Platform immediately broke into discussion again:
"Lin Buyu has come out of the Seal Land?"
"Hasn't she been with Xu Taiping all this time? She actually found time to make a trip to the Seal Land!"
"Stop talking nonsense. Lin Buyu has entered the Seal Land no fewer times than you or I. She just gets together with Xu Taiping every time she comes out."
"Even so, those two still take the Chaotic Stars Assembly far too lightly!"
Lin Buyu, who was hurrying toward the exit, paid no attention to the discussions
