"Are these two people inside this demon cloud... Do you want me to go in and save people?"
"Um."
Tian Mingye nodded.
"Liu Ruyan is dead, but I will not break my word."
The singing boy echoed:
"You have proven that you can escape without releasing any spiritual power. It is most appropriate for you to do this."
Jiang Chen thought to himself that as Senior Sister Liu's old friend, it was of course the most suitable thing for him.
Moreover, he really couldn't find a better candidate.
If your cultivation level is high, entering the demon cloud will stimulate the demon body, or stimulate the mountain guarding formation, causing the demon body to collapse and the entire army to be annihilated.
If your cultivation level is low, you won't be able to save people or break the illusion to convince others once you go in.
The requirements for entrants’ stealth level and physical skills are extremely high!
The monster in the Golden Core Realm, the leader of the Golden Core Realm, and Tian Mingye is sitting outside.
If you don't consider the life and death of other people, theoretically, Jiang Chen can be absolutely sure of rescuing people and ensuring his own safety.
But the problem is:
"If I accidentally break through the illusion or the mountain-protecting formation and harm the entire sect, how can the Demon Control Sect just let it go?"
Tian Mingye only said:
"It's just one battle, why bother with it."
Jiang Chen nodded. In that case, he had nothing to worry about.
"Who are the two people that Senior Sister Liu wants to save?"
Songtong said:
"Two twin half-fox girls, they are over a hundred years old and have not yet refined their Qi. They are probably a pair of old women on the verge of death.
I heard that the phantom formation attached to the mountain-protecting formation was originally created by Liu Ruyan, but it was no longer under her control.
But there is still some spiritual thought left, which will guide you to find the two half-fox girls."
Jiang Chen waited for a while, but still didn't see the simulator come online.
Note, this is just a simple side quest.
"Will you keep watch here?"
Songtong pouted, she didn't expect Jiang Chen to be so timid and not worry about such a safe mission.
Tian Mingye said:
"As long as nothing happens to the Heavenly Demon Sect, I will stay here."
Jiang Chen's heart skipped a beat. Normally, something like this would definitely cause an accident.
"What if the Demon Sect is in an emergency?"
Tian Mingye said:
"After breaking the demon body, I will take you back with me."
Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and took the friendly jade slip from the Heavenly Demon Sect away from Mo Kun and approached Mo Yun.
Around the magic cloud, there are several magic whales with hidden auras, shaped like blue whales, with slender and graceful bodies.
It is the surveillance ship of the Demon Control Sect.
Seeing someone approaching, two deacons of the Demon Control Sect in the Golden Core Realm stopped Jiang Chen.
"Who are you?"
Jiang Chen took out the jade slip from the Heavenly Demon Sect.
"I am Jiang Chen of the Heavenly Demon Sect, and I am here to rescue the members of the Demon-Seeking Sect on the orders of the Lord."
The two deacons looked at the jade slip and saw that it was indeed the jade slip of Tian Mingye, the leader of the Tianmo Sect.
"The Heavenly Demon Sect sent six people, my sect sent more than 40 people, and the other Demon Sects also sent nearly a hundred people one after another. There is no news from all of them. No one has escaped from the Demon Sect so far. What's so special about you?
Where?"
Jiang Chen immediately showed his extraordinary concealment skills, outstanding physical skills and swordsmanship, and then he was recognized by the Demon Control Sect and allowed him to enter the Demon Cloud.
Afterwards, Jiang Chen continued to act like a floating object and was instinctively swallowed by the demon cloud.
Because no spiritual power was released during the whole journey, I passed through the city defense formation very smoothly and entered the Demon Seeking Sect.
Looking around, you can see the blue sky and white clouds, the misty mountains, and the flying cranes. It looks like a righteous sect.
The mountain-protecting formation is at the Nascent Soul level and isolates all spiritual bodies or spiritual powers above the level of Qi refining. Only mortals can enter and exit freely, but it will also be recorded.
Soon, a disciple of the Seeking Demon Sect came with a sword and blocked Jiang Chen's path.
"Are you here to take the entrance examination?"
Jiang Chen took a look and saw that although this disciple had a demonic body, his demonic aura was extremely restrained. He was also dressed in a green robe and a Taoist hairpin, and he looked no different from an ordinary cultivator.
At the moment, Jiang Chen can't kill everyone.
You must first find the two half-fox girls and then make a plan.
The most urgent task is to find a reasonable identity in Qiu Mo Sect.
"That's right. Please give me guidance, senior."
"You come with me."

The content at the end of this chapter incorporates part of the plot from the eunuch book, which is tens of thousands of words long. It is also included in the next chapter. You can skip it, but this small copy is the core plot of the book.
—————
Zhaoxia Peak, the easternmost part of Qiu Mo Sect, at the foot of the mountain.
The fallen leaves are flying, and the atmosphere of autumn is full of beauty.
In the entrance examination square, dozens of young men and women who came to take the exam gathered.
For some unknown reason, in the past three years, only a few hundred people have participated in the Demon-Seeking Sect's assessment. It is rare to see new people, so naturally there will be someone dedicated to receive them.
Today happens to be the day of assessment.
Jiang Chen thought to himself that Tian Mingye had seen the right opportunity.
Obviously, these people who came for the assessment were demons from various demon sects who came to rescue or investigate, but they all had hidden auras and looked no different from ordinary people.
The first level of the assessment is to test your cultivation and bones by pressing your palm prints on the obsidian wall.
Those whose root bones are Grade A can pass the assessment directly.
If your talent is not level A, don't be discouraged.
You can continue to participate in the second round of mood assessment and the third round of mountaineering assessment.
Because the Qiu Mo Sect has had a tight student supply in the past three years, the assessment is not very difficult.
Half of the first round of exams were completed, and three people entered the exam directly!
"Wang Ning, male, nineteen years old, cultivated to the seventh level of body training, under the bone armor, passed the assessment."
"Zhong Xianping, male, twenty-eight years old, has cultivated to the fifth level of body forging, is in the bone armor, and passed the assessment."
"Su Shaowu, female, seventeen years old, third level of body training, root bone armor, passed the assessment."
"..."
At this time, it was Jiang Chen's turn.
The examiner of the first level is a young male disciple wearing a green robe, with a dignified appearance and a serious smile.
"Name."
"Jiang Chen."
"The five fingers are spread out, and the palm is printed on black stone."
According to what the assessor said, Jiang Chen walked to the stone wall very confidently.
He opened his five fingers, closed his eyes to eliminate distracting thoughts, and pressed his hand towards the obsidian.
Shao Qing, the examiner shouted coldly:
"Jiang Chen, male, twenty-seven years old, at the pinnacle of physical training, with a low base, is not qualified to enter directly. Please go to the second level to take the exam."
Jiang Chen still remembered that when he entered the Qinglan Sect, his talent was C-level, and after practicing the Book of Half-Immortal, he really deteriorated.
C-low means the worst talent and there is no way to retreat.
It attracted a lot of side glances, thinking how did the five elements become a demon? How could he dare to come to save people?
That's all, Jiang Chen didn't care and walked towards the second level without any care.
The second level is a bronze mirror located at the back edge of the assessment square, against the mountain wall.
The bronze mirror is as tall as one person and several feet wide, and can accommodate many people to examine at the same time.
The assessor of the second level is a female disciple behind the bronze mirror. Her voice is only heard but not her person.
"If you want to become a demon instead of a monster, in addition to talent, determination is also very important.
Those who can stay awake and unmoving in front of the bronze mirror within a stick of incense can pass the assessment."
Jiang Chen took a look and saw that most of the candidates in front of the bronze mirror fell into illusions, and a large area collapsed. The few standing still danced and looked crazy...
After watching for a long time, no one passed the test!
These are all real demons.
This is strange.
There are obviously so few disciples taking part in the assessment, so why is the second level designed to be so difficult?
Could it be that someone deliberately obstructed the assessment?
Jiang Chen felt a little strange.
He strode forward, placed a pestle in front of the bronze mirror, and adjusted his state of mind to the state he had when he took the Qinglan Sect entrance examination three years ago.
Bronze Mirror quickly understood his heart and knew that the strongest desire in his heart at this time was to refine his energy, not to seek demons.
As a result, Jiang Chen came to a paradise in a trance.
In a valley filled with cherry blossoms, a charming young female cultivator appeared in front of Jiang Chen.
Her slim figure is draped in a thin and transparent pink-white gauze robe, with peach blossoms in her eyes, so charming that it is difficult to take her eyes away.
Jiang Chen was dumbfounded. Isn't this Senior Sister Liu?
No, this is just an illusion.
The woman bowed slightly toward Jiang Chen and said softly:
"I am Liu Ruyan, a core disciple of the Hehuan Sect. I see that the young master is equally endowed with the five elements. It is difficult to refine Qi with ordinary methods, and it is even more difficult to become a demon. It is better to try the double cultivation method of the Hehuan Sect. I may be able to help the young master!"
Could it be that you see my regret for Senior Sister Liu?
Jiang Chen remained unmoved. With a movement of his eyes, the influence of the illusion was cleared away, and his eyes returned to clarity. He could only see the handsome face reflected in the bronze mirror.
At this time, the female examiner of the second level actually walked out from behind the bronze mirror.
"You have a special physique and a strong will. You are not affected by illusions at all. Although your Dantian is solidified, you still have ways to seek magic. Come with me."
Jiang Chen took a closer look, and the illusion dissipated. The female examiner was dressed as Senior Sister Liu, and her temperament became cold and pure, no different from Senior Sister Liu.
Could it be said that Thousand Faced Fox has a clone of Liu Ruyan?
However, a closer look revealed that this fake Senior Sister Liu only knew some basic illusions, was not possessed by the Thousand-Faced Fox, and had no demonic aura in her body.
With this thought in mind, Jiang Chen strode away from the bronze mirror and followed the female assessor.
Unexpectedly, the female examiner suddenly turned around and stared at him with an indifferent expression.
"Jiang Chen, you failed the second level of assessment, please go to the next level to take the exam immediately."
Jiang Chen rubbed his eyes and forced his resonance consciousness to remove the illusion in his eyes. Only then did he realize that although the woman in front of him was pretty, she was no match for Senior Sister Liu.
It seems that this is an illusion cast by the illusion array on him, only he looks like Senior Sister Liu.
Before finding the two half-fox girls, Jiang Chen didn't want to cause a commotion and decided to join the Demon Seeking Sect.
"You call this a trick, not an illusion. What kind of assessment is this?"
The female examiner explained coldly:
"The rule for the second level is that the candidate can pass the level without moving even one stick of incense.
On the road of spiritual practice, the temptation of reality is more likely to lead people astray than illusions. Only by being down-to-earth and studying hard can the right path be achieved.
In the annual assessment, there will be a few young people like you who have good physiques and strong wills. They can stay awake in the illusion and feel that they are unique geniuses. Unfortunately, this self-confidence is defeated in the assessment.
Crush!”
Ah, yes, yes, Jiang Chen asked indifferently:
"What is the third level?"
The female assessor raised her hand and pointed to the cliff behind her.
"You can pass the assessment by climbing up to the apse of Chaoxia Peak within an hour."
"oh."
Jiang Chen said, casually grabbing the shoulder of the female examiner, and stepped onto the top of the morning glow in a flash.
