“Old Zhong, what should we do if we encounter those two Evil Cultivators again?”

Zhou Yue frowned, letting out a sigh.

These past few days, he had been incredibly frustrated by that Evil Cultivator Buddha.

And it wasn't just the Evil Cultivator Buddha; yesterday, another Evil Cultivator named 【Ants Deserve It】 appeared.

This Evil Cultivator only played Hu Tao, with his demonic blade swings and lightning-fast parries, he brought misery to Juku Island.

Because of these two, the Illusion Realm had become a mess.

“It’s fine, let’s switch to trios for a change of pace.”

Zhong Yi forced a bitter smile.

Solo queue was unplayable recently.

Although there were only two cheaters, encountering them even once would ruin an entire day's good mood.

“But trios don’t seem easy to win either. I saw Junior Sister Li is also here... look.”

Mu Yawen pointed at Li Mozhan not far away, chuckling innocently.

“It’s better than running into those two Evil Cultivators, right? Good thing they only play solo...”

No sooner had Zhong Yi finished speaking than he heard a scream nearby:

“Holy cow!? It’s an Invisible Clan member!!!”

...

...

“Elder Jiang, how is this Formation working out?”

Du Cheng asked, seeking praise.

“Not bad, quite good.”

Jiang Lingfeng nodded with satisfaction.

Over these three days, he and Du Cheng had separately tested the grand Formation, becoming increasingly proficient in its use.

It was just that fewer and fewer people were playing solo queue recently, so the two of them teamed up and came to the most popular trios mode.

“If you ask me, we might as well sell spots for this Formation, haha... uh.”

Du Cheng hadn't finished speaking before Jiang Lingfeng glared him into silence.

Selling Formation spots—wouldn't that just be building momentum for Lu Ze's Illusion Realm?

But then again.

Using the grand Formation to break the Illusion Realm's rules and crush others in Lu Ze's Illusion Realm felt much more satisfying than their own Heavenly Dao Secret Realm.

Even Du Cheng, the creator of the Illusion Realm himself, would be pummeled like a sandbag by various Great Masters in the Illusion Realm.

Even if Elder Jiang personally joined, he would be beaten black and blue by top experts like Chao Wendao.

But cheating in eternal calamity was °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° different.

What Sect Elders, what Prodigies—

In front of Du Cheng, who had activated the Formation, they were pure roadside trash!

Take Li Jiujian of Limitless Sword Sect, for example.

Li Jiujian was a loyal player of Lu Ze.

Ever since Illusion Sword Peak joined the Illusion Alliance, Li Jiujian and Jiang Lingfeng had become increasingly at odds.

From time to time, he would enter the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm to annoy the Great Masters inside.

While Li Jiujian was terrible at the Illusion Realm, he was genuinely formidable in reality.

Compared to an Elder like Jiang Lingfeng, who specialized in Secret Realms and Formations, their combat power wasn't even on the same level. Du Cheng had often been beaten by Li Jiujian in the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm.

But eternal calamity was different.

After Du Cheng activated the Formation, every time he met Li Jiujian, he killed him, each time in a different way!

Recently, he had also developed new tricks.

From the start of the game, he could see the nicknames and locations of all players in that Illusion Realm.

So, at the beginning, he would search for Li Jiujian's name, and once he found it, he would beat him to death...

“Heh heh, I ran into that old geezer Li Jiujian again!”

Jiang Lingfeng sneered, looking in a certain direction within the crowd.

“Oh, there are also a few true Disciples from Lingxiao Sect?”

Du Cheng chuckled sinisterly, rubbing his hands together in anticipation.

His cultivation talent was actually quite good; otherwise, he wouldn't have climbed to the position of steward at Illusion Sword Peak.

However, compared to true Geniuses, he was nothing.

Now, these Geniuses were like ants, being toyed with in the palm of his hand, which made Du Cheng very pleased.

“Not only that... there’s also that Bai Mu?”

Jiang Lingfeng frowned.

Bai Mu.

This ID was truly famous in the Illusion Realm world.

Like a Dragon appearing and disappearing, he was the number one Loose Cultivator, and in the Illusion Realm, he was synonymous with “invincible.”

On the forums, some said he was invincible, that he would never fail.

Others said that Bai Mu just played less, and a few encounters didn't prove anything.

“Haha, Bai Mu? If I can kill him, won’t I become even more famous?”

Du Cheng immediately grew excited upon hearing this.

Even killing the number one expert in the Illusion Realm with his own hands would be an incredible feat.

“Hmph, what invincible? They’re all just trash!”

Jiang Lingfeng snorted coldly, raising his head proudly.

At this moment, they had finished waiting and entered the spirit boat flying in the sky.

Within the clouds, lightning surged.

Two characters appeared in his vision—

“black curtain.”

Jiang Lingfeng frowned.

How could there be a player's name in the sky?

But after thinking about it, he relaxed.

Within the clouds in the sky, there was a Candle Dragon hidden, which could spew Evil Qi at any time to activate the Earth Fiend Talisman.

“Perhaps the Formation’s function has improved?”

Jiang Lingfeng muttered to himself.

Just then, someone beside him pointed at the name above his head and exclaimed:

“Holy cow!? It’s an Invisible Clan member!!!”

...

The Invisible Clan was an ancient race in the world background of eternal calamity, possessing a very powerful Bloodline.

The highly popular Great Master Tianhai was one of them.

When Du Cheng cheated, he always used Great Master Tianhai, which was very similar to the character setting of someone who had an Awakening of an ancient Bloodline in the background story.

Coupled with Tianhai often muttering “Invisible Clan members are not invincible” when taking medicine, which had a somewhat ironic meaning,

Therefore, the Cultivators on the forum called him “Invisible Clan member.”

As soon as this sentence was shouted, all the Cultivators present were startled.

One must know that over these three days, a considerable number of Cultivators had been disgusted by Jiang Lingfeng and Du Cheng.

Coupled with continuous exposure on the forums, they were already notorious.

The Cultivators present immediately began to verbally attack the two.

Facing the Cultivators' anger, Du Cheng and Jiang Lingfeng remained unconcerned.

In the Illusion Realm, who recognized whom?

If offending the public would truly lead to identity exposure, then “Bai Mu” would have long been hunted down to death by various Great Masters.

Far from panicking, the two instead righteously mocked the crowd.

“What? If you’re not convinced, bring your cultivation in too! A bunch of trash!”

“Don’t you understand the name I chose? Ants deserve to die, understand?”

“Heh heh, what fairness? Where in this world is there fairness! It’s not my fault that you can’t bring your cultivation into this Illusion Realm, is it?”

“Today, Tianren City will be your burial ground!”

...

Facing such arrogant individuals, Zhong Yi and Zhou Yue were seething with Qi.

In fairness, even if there truly was a way for them to bring their cultivation into the Illusion Realm, they would disdain to do such a thing.

In an Illusion Realm known for its fairness, why would they break that fairness?

Looking at the faces of the opponents, who took pride in their actions rather than shame, Zhong Yi's anger burned.

“What if we are weak!? If this strength is stolen through crooked and Evil Paths, how are we Righteous Path Cultivators any different from demonic Cultivators!?”

Zhong Yi took a big step forward, walking out of the crowd, and angrily pointed at the two, saying.

“We Cultivators do not consider weakness a shame, but the Evil Path a shame!”

“We Cultivators cultivate the Righteous Qi of heaven and earth, and emulate the perfect people of ancient and modern times!”

“We... will never collude with Evil Cultivators!”

“Though ants are small, if they have ambition, they can move mountains and breach dikes!”

After saying that, he turned to the crowd behind him, bowed deeply, and said with righteous indignation:

“Fellow Daoists!”

“I, Zhong Yi, a Disciple of Lingxiao Sect, wish to fall at Tianren City...”

“I invite all of you, to die with me!”

The entire area was silent for a second.

Then, a deafening roar erupted:

“Mu Yawen of Lingxiao Sect, I request to fight!”

“Zhou Yue of Lingxiao Sect, I request to fight!”

“Loose Cultivator Chen Yang, I request to fight!”

“Chen Feng of Limitless Sword Sect, I request to fight!”

“Loose Cultivator...”

...

Above the sky, the purple lightning in the clouds surged continuously.

Lu Ze knew that his old friend, Fragment of the Heavenly Dao, was urging him to act quickly.

“Wait a little longer.”

Lu Ze said softly, watching the scene before him with interest.

“Something interesting is about to happen...”
