Jin Yu immediately straightened his chest.
He admits his brain might not be very quick.
But when facing demons, he would rather die than yield. That majestic and domineering appearance was absolutely solid.
Jin Yu's performance left Kunlun Sword Sect momentarily silent.
On one hand…
This seemed to deepen the stereotype that sword cultivators weren't very bright.
On the other hand…
Jin Yu's final performance was indeed not bad.
After a long silence.
Cang Li smiled and said, "Junior Brother is still much better than that Qingxiao Pavilion disciple."
With that, everyone's expressions immediately relaxed.
Wasn't that so?
No matter what, Jin Yu never wavered until death.
And that Qingxiao Pavilion disciple?
He hadn't even encountered a life-and-death crisis, yet he had already took the initiative to seek cooperation with the Demon Clan.
Such a person would be despised by the entire world.
"Then, next one." Yun Jin smiled.
The images in the Heart-Questioning Mirror began changing again.
Everyone felt inexplicably nervous.
They could vaguely guess that the few kneeling people likely all had problems.
However.
Just because they themselves had no problem didn't mean it wouldn't be embarrassing if shown…
Like Jin Yu, who had lost face in front of everyone.
Although Jin Yu was thick-skinned and appeared like he didn't care.
They cared!
"Don't pick me! Don't pick me!"
Everyone prayed silently.
In the end.
The image stopped on another Qingxiao Pavilion disciple.
That disciple from Qingxiao Pavilion revealed a terrified expression.
The projection began playing again.
As everyone watched, they gradually fell silent.
This person had made almost the same choices as the previous Qingxiao Pavilion disciple.
The two of them were both bloodthirsty, had no reverence for life, and when facing the Demon Clan, both tacitly chose cooperation.
These two were both from Qingxiao Pavilion.
The probability of Qingxiao Pavilion disciples having problems was this high?
Before the projection, those from various sects, who had originally appeared calm, all unconsciously sat up straighter.
Within Beast Taming Sect and Xuandan Sect, the atmosphere grew somewhat heavy.
Qing Yun narrowed his eyes.
Ji Wusi had once privately told him that he suspected Lin Xiao might have problems.
At the time, Qing Yun didn't believe it and had only told Ji Wusi to investigate more thoroughly.
But now, the disciples of Qingxiao Pavilion had problems one after another.
Could this merely be a coincidence?
They had originally thought that the Qingxiao Pavilion disciples were kneeling there simply because they harbored malicious intent toward Yun Jin.
But what if...
There was a deeper reason?
What if these five people…
Had all chosen to collude with the Demon Clan?
Even Qing Yun, who didn't usually concern himself with worldly affairs, felt his heart skip a beat at this moment!
Matters in the world, no matter how coincidental, couldn't be coincidental to this degree.
If these five people all had problems, then the probability that the entire Qingxiao Pavilion had problems would be very high!
They constantly spoke of exterminating the Demon Clan.
If among the four holy lands, there appeared one colluding with the Demon Clan…The consequences would be unimaginable!
If Qing Yun had thought of it, the others would only think even deeper.
Xuan Feng's expression also became grave.
At this moment, he urgently wanted to see what the remaining three Qingxiao Pavilion disciples were like.
And also, among the other three holy lands, there were also disciples kneeling there.
Could it be that they, too, had failed the final test?
If that was true, although proportionally it wasn't as outrageous as Qingxiao Pavilion's one hundred percent, it's still not low.
Had the four holy lands been infiltrated by demons to such a degree without realizing it?
They didn't dare imagine it, yet continued watching.
Qingxiao Pavilion.
Lin Xiao's expression had completely darkened.
He knew of the Heart-Questioning Staircase.
However, the previous Heart-Questioning Staircase of Wushuang Sect hadn't included a level targeting attitudes toward the Demon Clan.
This was also normal. A thousand years ago, the Demon Clan could only cower in a corner and hadn't posed much of a threat. Naturally, there'd been no special need to test attitudes toward them.
He had never expected that Sword Sage of Ten Thousand Daos would incorporate attitudes toward the Demon Clan into the latest Heart-Questioning test.
Lin Xiao's heart thudded.
The situation seemed to be becoming troublesome.
If possible, he wished he could rush in immediately to stop Yun Jin from continuing.
But.
Earlier, his people had sent word that the giant turtle had already carried with it the entrance of Wushuang Sect and was roaming in the Endless Sea.
The giant turtle's strength was formidable. Moreover, it was now within the Endless Sea, the base of sea creatures.
The Endless Sea was a terrifying ocean that even Sword Sage of Ten Thousand Daos had been unable to explore to its boundaries in the past. How could he locate the giant turtle within this vast sea?
If he couldn't even find the entrance, there was no question of stopping Yun Jin.
So… could he only watch like this?
Lin Xiao pondered back and forth but couldn't think of any way to stop it.
His face turned iron-green as he began considering how to explain things when the other three holy lands came to question him later.
"Let's continue." Yun Jin smiled and casually selected another person's image.
This time, it was Ye Liuqin's.
Compared to those from Qingxiao Pavilion, Ye Liuqin's conduct was naturally far gentler. The slight arrogance in her bones was nothing in the eyes of the four holy lands.
Wasn't it normal for holy land disciples to have some pride?
The most important thing was the third level.
In this level, Ye Liuqin had no problem whatsoever.
"Next."
This time, it was a Qingxiao Pavilion disciple again.
At this point, everyone finally noticed the pattern.
Yun Jin was randomly selecting one lucky person, and then selecting another lucky person from among the Qingxiao Pavilion disciples.
Her targeting of Qingxiao Pavilion was now completely out in the open.
If it had been earlier, they might've felt puzzled.
But now, they completely understood.
The five people from Qingxiao Pavilion likely all chose to collude with the Demon Clan.
How was Wushuang Sect destroyed?
It was to block the Extraterrestrial Demon Clan outside the heavens!
Now what?
They had sacrificed the entire sect to block the Demon Clan, and you were playing at colluding with the Demon Clan, and even danced right in front of them.
If you're not being targeted, then who would be targeted?
As expected, this Qingxiao Pavilion disciple once again chose to collude with the Demon Clan.
Next, the image directly stopped on the kneeling disciple from Kunlun Sword Sect.
Within Kunlun Sword Sect, Elder Mei, who had just spoken for their disciple, immediately became nervous.
This damned Wushuang Sect actually dared to use such methods to forcibly test a person's heart.
Had he known earlier, he shouldn't have allowed the disciple to go.
Ji Wusi glanced at that elder, his expression indifferent.
This disciple from Kunlun Sword Sect, in his conduct, was no different from those Qingxiao Pavilion disciples. In his attitude toward the Demon Clan, there was no longer any trace of the pride of a sword sect disciple.
Several from Kunlun Sword Sect fell silent.
They couldn't help but look at this disciple.
Why?
Among the four holy lands.
Under Ji Wusi's leadership, Kunlun Sword Sect had always hated the Demon Clan the most. More than one or two demons had died at this disciple's hands.
Yet in his subconsciousness, he leaned toward the Demon Clan?
In everyone's minds, a shocking thought flashed.
While the four holy lands were encircling and suppressing the Demon Clan, had the Demon Clan also done something to infiltrate the four holy lands in return?!
If that was true, this matter would truly poke a hole in the heavens!
