"What's going on!? What major event has happened!?"

Zhang Yuxian's pupils suddenly contracted.

At this moment, the suddenly surging pillar of light behind Lu Ze, though terrifying, seemed insignificant compared to the Spiritual Qi fluctuations soaring from all directions.

Such intense Spiritual Qi meant that more than one powerful being was exerting their full strength at the same time!

"An ancient great demon awakening? Or an extraterrestrial demon descending... No! How could it be simultaneous..."

Zhang Yuxian muttered to himself in disbelief.

Lu Ze, however, smiled slightly: "Elder Zhang, please don't curse our peaceful era anymore... It's clearly Junior's Illusion Realm that has captivated the Seniors too much."

"Hmph, you inexperienced youth, how could a mere Illusion Realm be worthy of having powerful beings drive Spiritual Qi?" Zhang Yuxian retorted with a cold snort.

Lu Ze slowly shook his head, narrowing his eyes as he looked at Zhang Yuxian: "Does Elder Zhang have any regrets?"

Zhang Yuxian countered: "Who is without regrets?"

"Then if Elder Zhang were given an opportunity, where by simply transmitting Spiritual Qi to the heavens, this regret could be resolved, would Elder Zhang be willing?"

Zhang Yuxian was not foolish; he immediately understood the meaning behind Lu Ze's words.

"You mean... they are for the Illusion Realm? No! Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

Zhang Yuxian frantically shook his head, denying this crazy idea.

One must know, how could a powerful being at the Soul Transformation or even Void Refining Realm easily sacrifice such terrifying Spiritual Qi if it wasn't for an immense benefit?

But very quickly, this idea was shattered by the brutal reality—

A message from his Sect made him realize that Lu Ze's words were true!

At this moment, he looked up again and was shocked to discover... the pillar of light behind Lu Ze had actually broken through the sky!

It was more than ten times higher than Qingshan Sect, which had been ranked first just now!

The most terrifying thing was,

This pillar of light was still rapidly growing upwards at a visible speed!

Zhang Yuxian was very clear about the rules of the voting technique.

The higher the cultivation, the greater the proportion of the vote cast!

Such ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ a rapid growth rate... it's likely there are hundreds of powerful beings at the Soul Transformation Realm, no, the Void Refining Realm alone!

A strangely shaped spirit crane flew across the sky, crying out in a sharp, piercing voice: "It is noon!"

This meant that the final Illusion Realm voting session had ended.

"The winner..."

"Lingxiao Sect, Lu Ze!"

Upon hearing this result, Zhang Yuxian's face immediately turned pale then green, looking extremely displeased.

Lu Ze nodded slightly and smiled calmly: "Elder Zhang... I accept the concession."

"The reward for first place is a Magic Treasure..."

Zhang Yuxian was about to proceed with the routine, his face stern, but Lu Ze interrupted him.

"Junior heard that if one does not claim this Magic Treasure, it is also possible to make an equivalent request?"

"What? What request do you have?"

Zhang Yuxian stroked his chin, beginning to compare the value of the Magic Treasure in his mind.

"It's very simple..."

Lu Ze stood up and said seriously:

"The Demonic Cultivator that Senior Brother Zhong brought back, let him live."

Upon hearing this, everyone present exchanged glances, their eyes filled with disbelief.

This was a gathering of Righteous Path Cultivators, and the theme was even "Slaying Demons."

Now Lu Ze actually requested to let a Demonic Cultivator live?

It was simply a provocation to the Righteous Path!

Zhang Yuxian's face first darkened, then a cold, unreadable sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He was just fretting about having no fault to find with Lu Ze, yet unexpectedly, the other party actually offered himself up!

"Lu Ze, you speak for a mere Demonic Cultivator... Could it be that you want to join the Demonic Path!?" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Behind Zhang Yuxian, a fierce Buddha Dharma Form condensed, its eyes like fire, staring intently at Lu Ze.

"Today, this Demonic Cultivator..."

"Must die!"
