【Righteous Cultivators joined forces to suppress, but were suppressed by the Host with thunderous means!】

【The Host's actions shocked the world, fully displaying the style of the Demonic Path! Demonic Path Reputation Value increased significantly!】

【Task progress + 20%!】

【Task conditions met! The Host has successfully changed the outside world's perception of "Saint"!】

Lu Ze was halfway through eating a bun when he saw the System prompt appear before him, and he was immediately amused.

He didn't expect that blocking the bridge on a whim would accidentally max out his task progress.

All he did was sneak into the bridge-assault team and openly strike seven or eight people in the back, right?

Did these Righteous Cultivators have to make such a big fuss about it?

They were so inexperienced!

Lu Ze ate the bun with lightning-fast hand speed, asking Zhou Yue and Zhong Yi on the Immortal Bridge while he chewed: "Two Senior Brothers, want to come have a bun?"

Zhong Yi and Zhou Yue exchanged glances, then waved their hands hurriedly:

"No, no..."

"Junior Brother Lu, you made all of these yourself, we aren't qualified to eat them!!"

Lu Ze looked generous: "Eh? We are all from the Lingxiao Sect, why distinguish between you and me? Besides, you two Senior Brothers were attracting fire on the Immortal Bridge, how can you say you didn't contribute?"

Hearing this, the two waved their palms even harder.

Zhong Yi: "Junior Brother Lu, I am from Leigong Peak, and you are from Lihuo Peak. How can we not distinguish between you and me? The competition between our peaks is quite fierce!"

Zhou Yue: "My Master and Elder Nangong just had an unpleasant falling out a few days ago over "Legends of the Three Kingdoms", I have to avoid suspicion..."

...

As the three were pulling back and forth, Lu Ze suddenly hid behind cover, alert.

From the corridor of the Black Hall, a series of hurried footsteps could be heard.

"Da da... da da da!"

A standard secret signal came from inside the Black Hall.

"There are still people?"

Zhong Yi was startled, his gaze turning toward the Black Hall.

"Giving a signal at this time, is it the ratty brothers?"

"No."

Lu Ze shook his head decisively.

The garden bridge-assault team had 12 people in total. He had killed 8, and the remaining 4 died from infighting.

Of the 8 people he killed, none of them were Li Moran.

He didn't check the dog tags of the remaining 4, but based on his understanding of Li Moran, she shouldn't be the type to use secret signals to form a team.

Therefore, the identity and purpose of the person signaling in the Black Hall were obvious.

"It's Senior Sister Li."

"Junior Sister Li? Why would she signal to seek peace?"

Zhong Yi was even more confused.

Li Moran had a proud backbone; no matter how you looked at it, she didn't seem like the type to use a secret signal to beg for mercy.

"Yeah..."

Lu Ze spread his hands.

"So, the meaning of her signal is that she wants to have a fair fight with us..."

"Two Senior Brothers, should we accept this signal or not?"

...

Black Hall.

"Senior Sister Li, do you think they will accept our signal?"

Zhou Qiaoling looked at her backpack full of Little Gold and Big Red, her voice trembling slightly.

"Perhaps... maybe?"

Li Moran closed her eyes, concentrating on listening to the movements outside the room.

Lu Ze's behavior had always been unfathomable.

But the opportunity was rare; she just wanted to spar with him head-on and see if she had gotten any closer to the back she had been chasing all along. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"Hahaha! I have never traded blows with Brother Lu, I'm looking forward to it!"

Shen Yan was quite open-minded; he was also curious about Lu Ze's true strength.

Just then, a sound came from the Immortal Bridge.

"Da da... da da da!"

...

Heavenly Dao Livestream.

The barrage was buzzing with discussion about the somewhat subtle signals from the last two teams.

【Aren't you supposed to be unable to see the enemy's name in a match? Why does it feel like they know each other's identities...】

【There are six people left, five are from the Lingxiao Sect, and they're starting to exchange secret signals??】

【black curtain! black curtain!!】

【Zhou Yue from the Lingxiao Sect accepted the signal... Sure enough, it was all pre-arranged?】

【This is too hard to believe!】

【Wait... They are gesturing to each other in the Black Hall, and then heading towards the Deacon Hall??】

【They split up and went to the corridors on both sides... Could it be?? Taking turns to spar???】

...

Top of the core area, Deacon Hall.

"A duel with Junior Sister Li? Interesting!"

Zhou Yue rubbed his hands in excitement.

After being on edge on the bridge for the whole match, he finally found a bit of excitement.

Li Moran's reputation in the Illusion Realm was deafening.

Zhou Yue had occasionally played a few rounds of Top Secret with Zhou Qiaoling and Li Moran before, but never had the chance to spar, so he naturally wouldn't let this opportunity pass.

"I'll go first!"

With that, Zhou Yue took out a Medicinal Pill from his pocket, preparing to go on stage.

"Wait!"

Zhong Yi stopped him.

Zhou Yue looked puzzled: "What's up?"

"Generally speaking, in a wheel battle, you save the strong trump cards for last..."

Zhong Yi reminded him.

"Old Zhou, don't you think that Wheat Mouse's equipment looks a bit familiar?"

"Wheat Mouse? Equipment?"

Zhou Yue immediately fell into memory.

Wheat Mouse was Mai Xiaowen, one of the characters often used by the Knife-Run ratty, which gradually earned her this nickname.

The Wheat Mouse in Li Moran's team was wearing a large chest rig and a large backpack, stuffed full, yet she only held a 【Wumu Dog - 45】 ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) in her hand.

Plus, the way she shook her head and acted a bit smug while looking at him...

A figure quickly emerged in his mind.

"Zhou! Qiao! Ling!!"

Zhou Yue gritted his teeth and immediately popped the Medicinal Pill.

Now he wanted to be the first to go on stage even more!

"Don't get excited, don't get excited... Old Zhou, you have to conserve your strength!"

Zhong Yi hurriedly held back Zhou Yue, who was preparing to rush out.

It was well known that Zhou Yue and Zhou Qiaoling's Luck in the Illusion Realm were two complete extremes.

Zhong Yi was very worried that, given the gap in their Luck, Zhou Qiaoling could close her eyes, pull the trigger, and the Spirit Bullet would grow eyes and float toward Zhou Yue's head...

That would be equivalent to wasting a powerful combatant for nothing.

"Let me go first!"

Zhong Yi took out a 【Great Wave】, blocking in front of Zhou Yue.

This was a gun he had assembled on the spot from a pile of corpses specifically for the spar.

Zhou Yue couldn't help but worry: "If you can't even beat my little sister, wouldn't that..."

"Don't worry!"

Zhong Yi smiled confidently and raised his gun to signal the roof.

This was the signal that he was ready.

"I..."

"Am also not as weak as you think!"

...

Ten seconds later.

【Hammer Saint Shen Yan knocked down Genius Cultivator!】

"Damn! It's Shen Yan!!"

"Old Zhou, pick me up..."
