[Righteous cultivators joined forces to suppress him, but were subdued by the host with thunderous authority!]
[The host's actions shocked the world, fully embodying the demonic path! Demonic path reputation greatly increased!]
[Mission progress +20%!]
[Task conditions met! The host has successfully changed the outside world's perception of 'sacred'!]
Lu Ze was halfway through eating a bun when he saw the system notification floating before his eyes, and he couldn't help but grin.
He never expected that blocking a bridge as a casual move would inadvertently complete the mission progress.
Wasn't it just blending into the bridge assault squad and openly hitting seven or eight backs?
Were these righteous cultivators really making such a big deal out of it?
Such small-minded people!
Lu Ze wolfed down his buns at lightning speed, chewing as he called out to Zhou Yue and Zhong Yi on the Immortal Bridge, "Senior brothers, want some buns?"
Zhong Yi and Zhou Yue exchanged a glance, then quickly waved their hands.
"No, no..."
"These are all your doing alone, Brother Lu—we don't deserve to eat them!!"
Lu Ze put on a generous expression, "Hey? We're all from Spirit Sovereign Sect—why split hairs? Besides, you two senior brothers were drawing fire on the Immortal Bridge—how can you say you didn't contribute?"
At that, they waved even more frantically.
Zhong Yi: "Brother Lu, I'm from Thunderclap Peak, and you're from Glassfire Peak—how can we not split hairs? There's no small competition between our peaks!"
Zhou Yue: "My master and Elder Nangong just had a quarrel over a game of Three Kingdoms Kill a few days ago—I need to keep my distance..."
...
As the three of them bantered back and forth, Lu Ze suddenly ducked alertly behind cover.
From the corridor of Black Hall came the sound of hurried footsteps.
"Dada... dadada!"
A standard signal code echoed from within Black Hall.
"There's still someone?"
Zhong Yi was startled, turning his gaze toward Black Hall.
"Is that the Rat Brothers sending the signal now?"
"No."
Lu Ze shook his head decisively.
The Garden Bridge Assault Squad had 12 members—he killed 8 of them, and the remaining 4 died from internal strife.
Among the 8 he killed, none of them were Li Moran.
He hadn't checked the dog tags of the other four, but based on his understanding of Li Moran, she wouldn't be the type to form a group via signal code.
So the identity and purpose of whoever was signaling from Black Hall right now was obvious.
"It's Senior Sister Li."
"Junior Sister Li? Why would she send a surrender signal?"
Zhong Yi was even more confused.
Li Moran had a spine of steel—there was no way she'd send a plea for mercy.
"Yeah..."
Lu Ze shrugged.
"So her signal actually means she wants a fair fight with us."
"Both senior brothers, should we take this signal or not?"
...
Black Hall.
"Sister Li, do you think they'll take our signal?"
Zhou Qiaoling looked at her backpack full of red and buff items, her voice slightly trembling.
"Maybe... hopefully?"
Li Moran closed her eyes, focusing on the sounds outside.
Lu Ze's actions were always unpredictable.
But this was a rare opportunity—she truly wanted to spar with him face-to-face and see if she had gotten any closer to the figure she had always been chasing.
"Haha! I've never crossed fists with Brother Lu before—can't wait!"
Shen Yan was quite open-minded about it. He was equally curious about Lu Ze's real strength.
Just then, a commotion came from the Immortal Bridge.
"Dada... dadada!"
...
Heavenly Path Live Stream.
The audience was buzzing over the subtle signals between the last two teams.
[In the match, shouldn't we not see enemy names? Why does it feel like they all know each other's identities...]
[Six players left, five from Spirit Sovereign Sect, and now they're signaling each other??]
[Foul! Foul!!]
[Zhou Yue from Spirit Sovereign Sect answered the signal... so they had already arranged it?]
[This is so hard to believe!]
[Hold on... they're gesturing to each other in Black Hall, then heading upstairs to the Tribunal Hall??]
[They split up to two different corridors... Could it be a rotating duel???]
...
Top of the Core Zone, Tribunal Hall.
"A duel with Junior Sister Li? Interesting!"
Zhou Yue cracked his knuckles in excitement.
He had been on edge the whole game on the bridge, and now he finally felt the rush of battle.
Li Moran's reputation in the Illusory Realm was thunderous.
Zhou Yue had occasionally played a few top-tier matches with Zhou Qiaoling and Li Moran before but had never had a chance to spar, so he wasn't about to miss this opportunity.
"I'll go first!"
With that, Zhou Yue pulled painkillers from his pocket and prepared to step onto the field.
"Hold on!"
Zhong Yi stopped him.
Zhou Yue looked confused, "What's up?"
"In a rotating duel, the strongest ace should usually be saved for last..."
Zhong Yi reminded him.
"Don't you think the equipment on that Mai Xiaoshu looks familiar?"
"Mai Xiaoshu? Equipment?"
Zhou Yue immediately fell into thought.
Mai Xiaoshu was a name for Mai Xiaowen, one of the popular knife-running rat characters, and that nickname had come to stick.
The Mai Xiaoshu on Li Moran's team was wearing a big chest rig and backpack, stuffed to the brim, yet only holding a [Wumu Dog – 45].
Combined with her slightly smug, head-tossing attitude as she looked at them...
A figure instantly flashed into his mind.
"Zhou! Qiaoling!"
Zhou Yue gritted his teeth and immediately popped the painkiller pill down.
Now he had to go first for sure!
"Calm down, calm down... Brother Zhou, you need to conserve your strength!"
Zhong Yi quickly pulled him back from nearly charging out.
As everyone knew, Zhou Yue and Zhou Qiaoling's luck in the Illusory Realm was polar opposites.
Zhong Yi was very worried that with the gap in their luck, Zhou Qiaoling could just close her eyes and pull the trigger, and the spirit bullets would fly toward Zhou Yue's head on their own...
That would be a waste of a strong fighter.
"Let me go first!"
Zhong Yi pulled out a [Big Wave] gun and stepped in front of Zhou Yue.
He had pieced together this weapon on the spot from the scattered corpses, just for the duel.
Zhou Yue couldn't help worrying, "If even you can't beat our little sister, then—"
"Relax!"
Zhong Yi smiled confidently and fired a signal shot toward the roof.
That was the ready signal.
"I'm..."
"Not as weak as you think!"
...
Ten seconds later.
[Hammer Sage Shen Yan defeated the genius cultivator!]
"Damn! It's Shen Yan!!"
"Brother Zhou—pull me up..."

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
