Chapter 635 reveals clues

Jiang He took the lead, with Long Aotian close behind.

Before the Lingyun Sect cultivators could even see who it was, two cultivators dressed in black robes charged forward.

The two men's moves were fierce, and even the wind from their swords was incredibly sharp, capable of peeling off a layer of skin and penetrating deep into the flesh.

"What a powerful sword."

"They started attacking right away, boss. These guys have no sportsmanship... Ouch... It hurts so much. I need to take two Rejuvenating Pills and Hemostatic Pills."

"Medics prepare, shield-wielders defend!"

"Boss, no good, they're too strong. These two have unfathomable cultivation levels..."

Jiang He and Long Aotian worked together seamlessly; Jiang He was in charge of the knife-wielding process, while Long Aotian was responsible for the cleanup.

Although the Divine Cult cultivators wore masks, they were not as cold-faced as Long Aotian. Before they were ready, Jiang He shouted and rushed out, which caused many of the Divine Cult cultivators to have different emotions on their faces.

A hint of confusion gradually appeared on their faces, which were hidden by black clothes. They looked at Pei Ci, not acting rashly, but wondering why Jiang He was doing this.

Lingyun Sect did not have any conflicts with them in the early stages, so avoiding battle was the best option.

But Jiang He was wearing the robes of the Divine Sect and fighting against the Lingyun Sect cultivators under the name of the Divine Sect. Did their friend, who was in charge, have ulterior motives?

Some of the cultists speculated about Jiang He's plans.

Clearly, he guessed correctly.

Jiang Heming's actions, though seemingly reckless, were deliberate.

Pei Ci lowered his brows, his lips flat, revealing no emotion.

There was only a smile in her eyes.

To use him...

Pei Ci raised his hand, curling up his four fingers as if making an attacking motion.

The original intention was to cause trouble for the Lingyun Sect, so whether it happened sooner or later didn't make a difference.

Upon seeing Pei Ci's actions, the cult members received instructions and immediately rushed in a certain direction.

When the Lingyun Sect members finally got a clear look at the people in front of them, they realized that they were from the Divine Sect.

"A religious sect? Black clothes and black hats, huh, what do you mean by a religious sect?"

Jiang He lowered her voice and said, "It doesn't mean anything, I just don't like you guys."

"The cult is truly arrogant. They've eliminated so many of us. Do they really think we're easy to bully?"

Behind Jiang He came the exasperated voices of the Lingyun Sect cultivators. For the first time, Jiang He felt that being a villain wasn't so bad after all.

"Yeah, isn't it easy to bully? Look at you, you can't even fight back, you can only obediently wait to die, how interesting."

Jiang He's voice was sharp and laced with a mocking tone, truly full of irony.

Upon hearing this, the Lingyun Sect cultivators were truly at a loss.

Doesn't she just assume they won't dare to retaliate by saying that?

No, it's not that they dare not, but that they are unable to.

The sword techniques of these two were unheard of. The reason why we didn't guess them at first was because we couldn't figure out which school of swordsmanship they came from.

Only upon seeing the black-clad hooded figures and the group of black-clad monks behind them did they guess the identities of the newcomers.

The Church of God... it really is...

It makes you want to grind your teeth in hatred!

Especially the female cultivator in front of them who had spoken ill of them.

They are absolutely detestable!

After Jiang He and Long Aotian eliminated more than a dozen cultivators, Pei Ci led his men to surround and annihilate the group.

"What's the point of killing monsters? It's better to kill people."

After Jiang He finished speaking, she eliminated the last cultivator.

Looking at the scattered teleportation talismans on the ground, not only did Jiang He discover two crystal core fragments and a clearly intact piece of paper, but Pei Ci and Long Aotian also noticed something amiss.

The items that mysteriously appeared after the cultivators were eliminated immediately attracted the attention of all netizens.

[:? How amazing! This has never happened before when one cultivator eliminated another. Where did this crystal core come from, and what about the note?]

In short, the crystal core couldn't have come from a cultivator, since this group simply tore apart the teleportation talisman and left, they didn't die, and their belongings wouldn't have fallen off, let alone something like a crystal core.

Goodness, it looks like an SS-grade crystal core fragment. That's incredibly extravagant!

Don't you guys think this is a clue in the competition rules? The drop rate is low (it hasn't appeared since the competition started, despite eliminating so many cultivators; this is the first time it's happened), and the drop time and location are random—it feels a bit like making money in a full-immersion MMORPG.

Wow, seriously? Haha, even a pro likes playing games? The drop rate for gold is incredible! It took two days of eliminations to get this one clue.

Holy crap, the video just came out, and the experts on Weibo are analyzing it the same way.

Huh? This item is a clue? Two crystal core fragments plus a note, Hongmu and Beimingyun fought together, how do we divide them?

"Whoever grabs it first gets to keep it. What's the point of talking about martial ethics at a time like this? Even if Hongmu and Beimingyun are friends, they're in different sects now, so they can't possibly get along peacefully."

If this is a clue, then it's incredibly extravagant. An SS-grade fragment—I've never even touched a real one in my entire life.

Don't even mention it. I'm 220 years old and I still haven't touched one. SS-rank monsters basically only appear in high-level dungeons, such as high-level intrusion dungeons and ordinary dungeons, or in Black Nests. They are very rare on the market, but special cases require special analysis.

I've heard that for an ordinary cultivator, absorbing a single SS-grade crystal core is equivalent to gaining ten years of cultivation power.

There are roughly the same number of cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage, and possibly more.

Holy crap, if this is a clue, the organizers are really generous. The two fragments are almost enough to make half a crystal core. I'm sure there will be cultivators getting this drop rate later on.

Has anyone seen the message on the note? Pei Ci seems to have opened a crack in the door a little bit.

Is this male cultivator Pei Ci or Bei Mingyun? It's so strange that you keep changing his name.

I don't know. The cult says it's Bei Mingyun. I think the two look exactly alike. I'm used to calling him Pei Ci.

Okay, okay, stop. Let's not discuss this pointless stuff. Let's talk about who among you spotted the note. I'm genuinely curious about what it said and whether it's a clue.

"Hey! Why won't Pei Ci turn on? And the director, don't you know how to get the camera right up to someone's face? Didn't they say they'd thrown trillions of nano-tracking cameras into the secret realm, and there are also time-reversal stones and stuff? Why can't they film anything?"

Jiang He quickly grabbed the crystal core, while Pei Ci snatched the note away.

The two looked at each other and spoke at the same time:

"Same as always, let's exchange information."

Jiang He nodded.

In the air, a crystal core fragment and a note flew out simultaneously in different directions.

Jiang He took the note, turned around, and left without the slightest hesitation.

Long Aotian glanced back, wary of Pei Ci and the others' path, fearing they might come after him; a hint of hostility appeared in his eyes.

There were two crystal cores. Jiang He noted their shapes and then used one of them to exchange for a note with Pei Ci.

Pei Ci was quick; he had most likely read the note beforehand.

The sect competition can be won either by eliminating sects or by finding the finish line.

For Jiang He, either of these two paths is viable.

However, the current situation is that each sect is wary of each other and does not take action in advance. Even Ye Qingti and his group, who are trying to persuade others to cooperate, do not intend to be the ones to break off relations.

On the surface, the four major sects appear to be on good terms, but in reality, they are true enemies. Each sect wants to be the last one standing, letting the sects fighting ahead be constantly weakened, while it can recuperate and develop quietly.

This is certainly not the scene Jiang He wanted to see.

If the sect competition doesn't turn into a full-blown battle, how can we let her take advantage of the chaos?
