The Eerie Immortal Path: Begin by Devouring Fairy Flesh

The young fairy took a gentle breath, and two orbs of light were extracted and absorbed completely by her.

She savored the taste with satisfaction and smiled, "Delicious, let's continue."

However, after witnessing the scene just now, everyone in the square was stunned, as if they had been petrified.

In an instant, the whole place erupted in chaos.

A living being had just died so miserably in front of them, without even a trace left!

This was completely different from their understanding of fairies! The gap between their ideals and reality left everyone in the square terrified and bewildered!

Especially those around the girl who had just exploded; they were almost driven mad with fear, crying and fleeing desperately.

"Someone's dead! Someone's dead! I don't want to die!"

"Didn't they say it was Immortal Fate? Why do we have to die if we answer wrong?!"

"I don't want to cultivate anymore, I want to go home, I want to go home!"

Seeing the commotion among the hundreds of people, the young fairy frowned, "Noisy."

With that, a giant palm, ten feet long, descended heavily on the crowd.

Instantly, the square became much quieter. When the giant palm print dissipated, there was no living thing left under it.

Such a tragic scene made most people cover their mouths tightly, not daring to make a sound.

But many others were so frightened that they completely lost their minds, causing an even greater uproar.

The young fairy, high above, frequently struck out, targeting the noisiest groups. Each giant palm that fell took away hundreds of lives.

In the blink of an eye, thousands had perished, yet the young fairy seemed increasingly delighted, as if she were playing an amusing game.

Brandon Jiang stood among the crowd, trying to remain as calm as possible.

He had long known the ruthlessness of the Heavenly Lotus Sect, so he had some expectation of what was happening.

All he could do was try not to draw attention to himself, to avoid becoming one of these demons' victims.

But staying calm alone wasn't enough, as the young fairy's giant palms often affected those around her!

At this moment, the old woman beside the young fairy spoke with some concern, "Senior Sister Qin, killing people so recklessly will affect the effectiveness of the sacrificial furnace. Compared to an intact furnace, these broken ones will yield much less life force and fortune."

The young fairy paused and smiled slightly, "Junior Sister Wang is right, an intact furnace is indeed better. But killing mortals aids in cultivation, so a little waste is no big deal."

The old woman understood and said apologetically, "This junior is dull and cannot comprehend Senior Sister's true intentions. Please forgive me."

At this moment, a middle-aged beautiful woman also spoke up, "Senior Sister, among the thousands you killed, might there be some with extraordinary talent? If they were accidentally killed, what would we do if the sect blames us?"

The young fairy smiled faintly, "Junior Sister Xu, this is your first time overseeing the disciple recruitment assessment, right? Hehe, you haven't been enlightened for long and can't yet distinguish between mortals and immortals. It's normal to have such doubts.

Let me tell you, your worry is unnecessary. So what if I accidentally killed many talented mortals? A mortal who hasn't been enlightened is always just a mortal. No matter how good their aptitude, extracting them only yields a bit more spiritual energy.

Besides, if they were accidentally killed by me, it means their fortune was lacking, and they were unlikely to achieve greatness. Why would the sect blame me?"

The middle-aged beautiful woman suddenly understood and repeatedly bowed to the young fairy, expressing her gratitude for the lesson.

But hearing these words chilled the hearts of everyone in the square.

These fairies truly regarded human lives as worthless, like livestock.

Fear and despair spread through everyone's hearts.

Many people suppressed their fear, their faces pale, their hands covering their mouths tightly, afraid to make any sound that might bring death upon them.

Suddenly, the young fairy, who was conversing with her two junior sisters, twitched her ears and heard cries again.

Without looking, she struck out with another palm.

Instantly, hundreds more died.

But then, the young fairy's giant palm suddenly dissipated.@@novelbin@@

A brilliant golden light rose from the square.

The three fairies turned in surprise and saw a luxuriously dressed girl enveloped in golden light, unharmed.

The golden light formed a humanoid figure, which smiled and bowed to the three fairies.

"Greetings, fellow Daoists."

The young fairy's eyes brightened slightly, and she smiled, "So it's a senior from the Lin Family. My apologies. Since this girl is a seed of your Lin Family, she must have extraordinary talent and a resilient mind. I think she can pass without further assessment."

The golden humanoid figure smiled and said, "Thank you all. The Lin Family owes you a favor."

With that, the golden light slowly dissipated, and with a wave of the young fairy's hand, the girl from the Lin Family disappeared from the spot.

She had advanced.

Everyone stared blankly at this scene.

Having connections allows one to do as they please?!

If the assessment was terrifyingly difficult for everyone, it would be one thing, but someone actually passed without assessment, making it impossible for them to accept.

But as mortals, they could only accept reality obediently.

The young fairy's expression turned cold again as she looked at the crowd in the square, "Continue."

The crowd in the square snapped back to reality, the surrounding atmosphere filling them with dread.

But they had no choice but to suppress their fear, think of a strategy, and seek a slim chance of survival.

Some quick-witted individuals soon came to a conclusion.

There were only two choices: if killing ten thousand was wrong, then it must be killing one hundred thousand.

A girl mustered the courage to step out of the crowd and said, "Three fairies, I believe that if I were that cultivator, I would choose to stay in place and kill one hundred thousand people, because to a cultivator, it doesn't matter how many mortals they kill."

The young fairy listened, her expression calm, and then pointed a finger.

Boom—

The girl's life force and fortune were instantly extracted, turning her into an old woman. She took a few steps and fell dead.

"Continue."

The entire place fell silent, everyone's eyes filled with uncontrollable terror and despair, cold sweat soaking their bodies.

Both options were wrong?

No matter how they answered, they would die?!

Then... were they doomed, with no way out?!

Many mortal girls' expressions turned ashen, their eyes vacant, almost giving up the struggle. Some even collapsed to the ground, scared to the point of losing control, silently shedding tears.

Even Brandon Jiang was stunned by the situation.

Both options were wrong?

Could it be that the Heavenly Lotus Sect, like the Villain of the Blood Sea, was just looking for an excuse to kill people?

Would his survival depend on the whims of these three fairies?

A heavy sense of powerlessness surged in Brandon Jiang's heart. In this world, the weak could only be slaughtered like fish; this was why he desperately wanted to cultivate.

But this goal seemed to be getting further away from him.

When you're just trying to make great content at .

"Three fairies, I have a question."

At this moment, a figure suddenly stood out.

Brandon Jiang and the others looked over. The speaker was a plainly dressed but exquisitely beautiful girl.

Her eyes were exceptionally bright, showing no trace of fear, only the unique desire of a seeker of the Dao!

Just one look at this girl, and Brandon Jiang couldn't forget her.

She was someone extraordinary by nature.

The young fairy's gaze fell on the girl, "What is your question? Speak."

The girl asked loudly, "Fairy, you only mentioned the situation to the east of the city, but you said this was something that happened in reality.

In other words, there should be corresponding things to the north, south, and west of the city. Could you please tell us?"

Everyone's eyes lit up at her words.

Yes, the question hadn't been fully explained.

If the other directions of the city were deserted or something else, wouldn't that solve their dilemma?

Brandon Jiang's eyes narrowed, but his mood wasn't as light as the others.

If the question could be resolved so easily, why would it be the first test of the entrance assessment?

Sure enough, the young fairy laughed, "You asked well. Naturally, there are things in the other three directions of this city."

"To the north and south of the city, there are two cities with populations of one hundred thousand each. To the west, there is a large city with a population of one million. These three directions can also be included in your choices."

Hearing this, everyone's initial hope turned cold.

Two cities with one hundred thousand people each, and a large city with one million people!

What difference did these options make?

But then, the girl suddenly smiled, her smile bright and radiant.

"Fairy, this question is too simple. If I were that cultivator, I would definitely choose to move to the city with a million people and sacrifice the entire city to consolidate my cultivation!"

As soon as she said this, the girls participating in the assessment were shocked, looking at her with fear in their eyes.

What kind of demonic answer was this?!

She wanted to choose to kill a million people!

Was she crazy?!

However, hearing this answer, the young fairy burst into laughter, "Excellent, excellent, your comprehension is indeed extraordinary!This answer is top-notch!"
