Threats, methods are the same.

Chu Xinghe set the message aside.

Heaven Three looked at Chu Xinghe.

"Master, what are the arrangements next?"

Chu Xinghe shook his head.

"It's not time yet. Shi Jingfeng has already made arrangements on his end."

Heaven Three was a bit hesitant.

Shi Jingfeng was not the Master.

If something went wrong...

"Don't worry. Why did I always start with the people around those special individuals before? It was nothing more than giving people the illusion that these are the only tactics I know."

"If I were to change them at will, it would make things difficult for us, and for Shi Jingfeng as well."

"Right now, I'm just letting Shi Jingfeng copy my homework. If he doesn't even understand this, he wouldn't be Shi Jingfeng."

"If it really fails, we'll just flip the table."

"Besides, that girl has changed quite a bit."

After Chu Xinghe finished speaking, he closed his eyes and quietly waited for things to ferment.

The second stage of the assessment continued.

From the audience seats, Shi Jingfeng looked up at the sky.

He felt that the time should be about right.

"Go and send someone to investigate those two who reached the top during the trial again. I suspect they have a connection with Li Taixuan."

"When those Peak Masters were accusing Li Taixuan earlier, there was killing intent in their eyes. Find out their backgrounds and families."

"If they still have clansmen, kidnap them and send them a voice transmission, telling them not to take Li Taixuan as their Master."

"You can even have them spread rumors in front of all these people."

Dragon One nodded. Whatever Shi Jingfeng arranged, he would order people to do.

Besides, they had Heaven One and the others cooperating in secret.

Investigating information could be done very quickly.

Below, ten thousand Disciples entered the assessment Formation.

Many people were stuck at the first stage, let alone the third.

Their states were a bit off.

"Haha, adulterous couple, go to hell! You're the one who's useless, your whole Family is useless!"

"You guys say every day how happy my sister is to be married to my brother-in-law, so I'll marry him too."

"Gimme, gimme, quack quack, hahaha, little beauty, come here..."

"Brother, you smell so good. Do you know? I've lusted after you for a long time. Now you can't escape my grasp."

"If Heaven did not give birth to me, Li Erdan, the Dao of the Sword would be like an eternal night! Haha, I, Li Erdan, have become a Great Emperor!"

"How dare you look down on me and despise me for being poor. Once I succeed in my cultivation, I'll turn into a snake, crawl into your bed at night, and then..."

Many of the spectators above couldn't help but curl their lips.

Interesting, truly interesting.

These people were able to walk the Heavenly Stairway, so they were somewhat impressive, but unfortunately, their Heart-Nature was lacking.

However, more people's eyes were on the little girl.

Because she had already made it out.

Even the Tianxuan Holy Land Elder who set up the Formation suspected there was a problem with it.

She just walked out safe and sound like that?

How was that possible?

If he hadn't seen the others acting crazy, he really would have suspected the Formation had a problem.

But now she had walked out just like that, completely unharmed.

What exactly was the background of this little girl?

The Elder who handled the Formation looked at the little girl.

"Wait here for a moment."

The little girl nodded.

She only remembered one sentence.

As long as she made it through, she could get steamed buns and find her big brother.

She only wanted these two things.

"Big brother, I wonder if you're still in pain. I'll come find you soon," the little girl muttered, pinching her fingers.

Before long, as a stick of incense was about to burn out.

Two people burst through at the same time.

It was exactly the two who had reached the top of the Heavenly Stairway earlier.

One was named Jiang Wuwei, and the other was named Ye Pingfan.

The two of them glanced at each other after coming out.

They saw the little girl already standing to the side, pinching her fingers.

They looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock.

The two of them thought they were fast enough.

They didn't expect a little girl to be much faster than them.

"Elder, how long has she been out?"

Seeing these two come through at the same time, the Elder was also excited.

There had been Disciples who passed both the first and second stages before.

But each one was as rare as a phoenix feather or a unicorn horn.

Once they grew up, they all became Old Ancestors of the Tianxuan Holy Land.

Later, only the Holy Lord and the old Peak Master of Jingxin Peak had passed them all.

And then, it never happened again.

He didn't expect this Disciple Recruitment Ceremony to give him such a big surprise.

For Disciples with such good talent, he was naturally willing to show a smile.

"She came out not long after the assessment began. The stick of incense hadn't even burned a third of the way."

Hearing this, a sense of defeat appeared in the eyes of the two.

However, for such a talented Disciple.

Master should take her under his wing, right?

Letting others teach her would be a waste of her Aptitude.

Thinking of this, the two of them also became enthusiastic toward the little girl.

"Little sister, are you hungry?"

Jiang Wuwei squatted down, wanting to get closer to the little girl.

The little girl took a step back.

"Thank you, I'm not hungry. I want to find my big brother."

Ye Pingfan frowned and asked, "Do you know what your big brother looks like?"

The little girl thought seriously.

"I can't remember. Bad people wanted to gouge out his eyes."

The two of them looked at each other.

It seemed this little girl had a tragic life.

That big brother was likely trying to protect her.

He might already be dead.

Now it had become her obsession.

The two of them could only stand there quietly.

"The time for one stick of incense is up."

"Second stage, Heart-Inquiry Formation, two thousand people qualified."

The Elder was still relatively satisfied.

If this were ten years ago, these Disciples could all have been recruited into the Sect.

This assessment was much more difficult than ten years ago.

But now that the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Body had appeared.

They couldn't possibly nurture so many Disciples.

They could only reduce the number of Disciples, choosing the best of the best and using all resources on these people.

On the audience seats.

Shi Jingfeng listened to the news reported by Dragon One.

"These two are named Jiang Wuwei and Ye Pingfan."

"Both are from the Mysterious Province and have families behind them."

"However, neither of them is favored by their families, but some outsiders are quite good to them."

"Jiang Wuwei has an engagement with the Third Princess of the Starry Imperial Dynasty. No one thinks highly of him, but that Third Princess didn't choose to break the engagement and often cares for Jiang Wuwei."

"If he has a weakness, it's probably only that Third Princess."

"As for Ye Pingfan, his father was originally the Clan Chief. After his father died, he was marginalized, beaten into a cripple, and kicked out of the house. Later, he was saved by the Palace Master of Sifang Palace and managed to survive."

"However, his Dantian was shattered, and he couldn't Cultivate. The Palace Master of Sifang Palace gave him money and even a shop to give him some breathing room. Later, he was spotted by Li Taixuan."

Hearing this, Shi Jingfeng already had a rough plan in mind.

"That Third Princess and the Palace Master of Sifang Palace must be being watched," Shi Jingfeng murmured.

"Take them both into custody and send voice transmissions to those two."

"Do it discreetly, create some other disturbances to attract everyone's attention."

"Kidnapping the two of them in secret is more in line with Chu Xinghe's way of doing things."
