“Old Demon of Li Mountain, as long as you help us deal with Mount Shu, you can have this thirteenth-grade Immortal Pill.”

“Mount Shu is but a small sect, the Yellow Springs Sect could annihilate their entire sect in the blink of an eye. Why should I act on your behalf?”
“You don’t need to know that. As long as the job is done, you won’t be short of benefits.”
“Hehe, I agree. A mere Mount Shu, I can extinguish it as easily as flipping my hand.”
The Old Demon of Li Mountain greedily eyed the Purple Gold Bagua Gourd in the hand of the Yellow Springs Sect Elder, drooling over the thirteenth-grade Immortal Pill inside.
A thirteenth-grade Immortal Pill, only a sect of Yellow Springs Sect’s level could produce such a thing.
The Old Demon of Li Mountain was just one step away from entering the Heavenly Immortal Realm and was precisely in need of this thirteenth-grade Immortal Pill.
“Annihilating Mount Shu is not a difficult task, but you need to act according to our requirements.”
The Yellow Springs Sect Elder revealed a sinister smile.
With the Yellow Springs Sect setting a trap, Shangguan Zhao’er was undoubtedly going to die this time.
Lu Changsheng, after establishing Mount Shu for two hundred years, held another disciple induction ceremony.
However, even after two hundred years, the disciple induction ceremony still failed to unveil a disciple with astonishing potential, and Lu Changsheng still hadn’t accepted a ninth disciple.
“Mount Shu is still an insignificant sect with little fame. It seems that those peerless geniuses completely look down on Mount Shu.”
Lu Changsheng knew that Mount Shu still lacked fame; that’s why he couldn’t find a genius disciple recognized by the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator.
The standards of the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator were a bit too high.
This disciple induction ceremony, Mount Shu accepted two thousand disciples, bringing the total number of disciples in Mount Shu to ten thousand.
These disciples, by completing sect missions, could earn contribution points, which they could then use to exchange for cultivation techniques and treasures.
“Sect Leader, a Great Demon has recently appeared near Tianyang City, often harming the locals and has also killed more than a dozen of our Mount Shu disciples. Should we send someone to eliminate this Great Demon?”
“What is the cultivation level of this Great Demon?”
“It should only be at the Unity Realm.”
“Let Qianqian deal with this Great Demon.”
Lu Changsheng’s Merit Treasure, the Heavenly Earth Mystical Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, needed to continuously accumulate merit to grow. The merits accumulated by Lu Changsheng’s direct disciples through slaying demons and eliminating evil could also be partially shared with Lu Changsheng, their master.
Ning Qianqian was now at the ninth level of the Unity Realm, and being of the Dragon Emperor Bloodline, she was nearly invincible within the Unity Realm.
Before his eighth disciple Ning Qianqian set out, Lu Changsheng conducted a simulation.
[Ding, you begin simulating the life of your disciple Ning Qianqian.]
[Ding, today’s simulation count -1.]
[Simulation Start:]
[At 605 years of age, Ning Qianqian sets out to slay demons and eliminate evil, is captured alive by the Great Demon, and your rescue attempt fails.]
[Ning Qianqian, deceased.]
[Simulation End.]
Something’s not right, not right at all.
How could Ning Qianqian, a ninth level Unity Realm practitioner with the lineage of the Dragon Empress, possibly fail to kill a Unity Realm Great Demon?
This could be a trap.
“Change the initial conditions; I’ll go with Ning Qianqian and simulate her life again.”
[Ding, you re-simulate the life of your disciple Ning Qianqian.]
[Ding, today’s simulation count -1.]
[Simulation Start:]
[At 605 years of age, Ning Qianqian goes with you to slay demons and eliminate evil, and both of you are captured alive by the Great Demon.]
[Ning Qianqian, deceased.]
[Simulation End.]
“…”
Even with my personal intervention, we can’t deal with this Great Demon?
Lu Changsheng rubbed his temples, troubled.
What level of Great Demon exactly is ravaging Tianyang City?
It must at least be at the Earth Immortal Realm, right?
But why would such a high-level Great Demon trouble itself with an ordinary city like Tianyang City?
Lu Changsheng closed his eyes and deduced all possibilities.
Lu Changsheng might have only cultivated for a little over a thousand years, but he had faced many life-and-death situations and traps. He was much keener than some disciples of super Immortal Sects who practiced closed-door cultivation when it came to sensing danger.
“This could be a trap.”
Lu Changsheng, having the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator, foresaw the danger in advance.
But with this Great Demon troubling Tianyang City, Lu Changsheng, as the Sect Leader of Mount Shu, couldn’t just sit idly by.
“Change the initial conditions. I will ask Shangguan Zhao’er to take action, go with Ning Qianqian to Tianyang City, and simulate Ning Qianqian’s life once more.”
Lu Changsheng thought of Shangguan Zhao’er or the Jing Long Immortal Temple.
If he could use some Immortal Pills as a price to ask the Jing Long Immortal Temple to eliminate the demon, then even an Earth Immortal Realm Great Demon would have to fall.
[Ding, you re-simulate the life of your disciple Ning Qianqian.]
[Simulation Start:]
[At 605 years of age, you ask Supreme Elder Shangguan Zhao’er of the Jing Long Immortal Temple to come. Ning Qianqian goes with you both to slay demons and eliminate evil, and you are killed by someone.]
[Ning Qianqian, deceased.]
[Simulation End.]
“How is this possible?”
Lu Changsheng was completely shocked.
Shangguan Zhao’er, whose cultivation had already surpassed the Earth Immortal Realm, couldn’t handle this Great Demon either?
It’s definitely a trap, absolutely a trap!
According to the results of the three simulations, Lu Changsheng had confirmed that this was a trap.
“The sects that hold grudges against me are the Divine Lightning Sect and the Yellow Springs Sect.”
“Which one of these sects set the trap?
Lu Changsheng thought of two enemies, both of which were not to be trifled with.
And only entities of that level could kill Shangguan Zhao’er.
Wait a second…
Lu Changsheng had a sudden revelation: “Perhaps this trap isn’t targeting me but Shangguan Zhao’er instead.”
The first two simulation results had Lu Changsheng and Ning Qianqian initially captured alive, then killed.
In the third simulation, Lu Changsheng, along with Shangguan Zhao’er and Ning Qianqian, went to eliminate the demon, and the result was that they were directly killed.
Comparing the previous simulations, it wasn’t hard to guess that the target was Shangguan Zhao’er, using Lu Changsheng as bait.
“Then it must be the Yellow Springs Sect who set up this trap. The Divine Lightning Sect would only capture Ning Qianqian and bring her back to their sect; there’s no need for them to go to such lengths.”
