Chapter 624 He who kills will be killed in return.
Jiang He's heart skipped a beat the moment she saw the flag.
What did she say five years ago?
No one's luck can stay this bad forever.
She's just consistently bad.
With the flag in her hands, the difficulty of winning the championship was truly raised to the highest level.
If nothing unexpected happens, then something unexpected will happen.
"Which sect does this person belong to? He looks familiar, but I can't remember."
"Who cares? If she can't remember, just kill her! Go! Eliminate as many as you can. What if she has a flag? That would be a bonus."
"That makes sense, I'm coming."
Several voices came from behind Jiang He, her eyes remaining calm and still.
But inside, I was in an uproar.
See, here comes the unexpected.
These two cultivators were really lucky; not only were they teleported to the same place, but they also guessed correctly.
That's awesome!
She really does have a flag on her.
When a cultivator dies, their belongings drop, including talismans.
If a cultivator survives by tearing up a talisman and teleporting out of the game, the flag will be destroyed.
Jiang He turned around.
One cannot be the victim.
In that case, it can only be considered "murder".
The sword from behind was grasped by Jiang He with a single finger. She turned around and grasped the spirit sword from another cultivator.
Looking at the two stunned attackers, Jiang He said calmly:
Have you ever heard this saying?
The cultivators who attacked Jiang He took advantage of her being alone, and they were also quite strong. Both of them were at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and if they joined forces, they would likely be able to defeat a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
Most of those participating in the sect competition were cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage or the Spirit Transformation stage, with the peak Nascent Soul stage cultivators being the most powerful.
They felt they had a 90% chance of winning over Jiang He.
But now.
The cultivator before her was dressed in loose robes. She gently raised a finger and caught the powerful attack that the two of them had combined.
The two monks' palms were sweating.
Oh no, they've run into a cultivator whose cultivation level is much higher than theirs.
Their faces were still showing surprise, and they didn't say a word until Jiang He asked a question.
The visitor appeared to be asking a question, but in reality, he left no room for the visitor to speak.
From the man's fingers, to the spirit sword, and then to his body, a chilling cold pervaded everything.
The ice spirit root emitted a cold aura, directly blocking out their voices.
Even after the two of them managed to tear the talisman apart and escape the secret realm, they were still shaken and remained speechless for a long time.
Jiang He watched the cultivator disappear from the spot, but didn't bother with him. She simply said softly:
"Those who kill will always be killed."
However, she was still very kind.
Jiang He ultimately did not kill him. In the sect competition, being attacked was a common occurrence, and there was no need to go for the kill.
If the Free and Unfettered Sect wants to establish its prestige, it needs to be adept at navigating interpersonal relationships.
Which cultivator who can participate in the sect competition doesn't have a Yellow-rank family behind them?
Jiang He withdrew her hand.
The live stream simultaneously splits the screens to show the scenes of each sect.
This is further subdivided into different embedded live streaming rooms.
Famous cultivators like Jiang He usually have their own live stream room, and their streams are occasionally pushed to the homepage of various platforms based on their popularity.
At this moment, Jiang He's live stream room attracted many more passersby.
[The moment the sect competition started, the official announcement revealed the owners of each sect's flag. None of the four major sects had their flags in the hands of their commanders. I just checked the location of the Free and Unfettered Sect's flag and immediately jumped in to watch the live stream. It's truly amazing; out of tens of thousands of sects, only the Free and Unfettered Sect's flag happened to be in the hands of its commander.]
Wow, I also came here from the flag icon posted by the official account. There's a timed map showing the flag's movement. I originally wanted to check if the Lingyun Sect's flag would be above that cultivator's teleportation scroll, but the comments section was mostly discussing the Xiaoyao Sect, saying that their flag was left behind at the command post.
The odds are incredibly low. Someone chosen as a commander by a sect must be quite powerful. The Free and Unfettered Sect is incredibly lucky this time.
Indeed, I remember that Hongmu was at the top of the six lists, so the flag was safest for her.
I don't think so. The secret realm is so vast. It's just a coincidence that she seems to be the first one to be attacked.
These two attackers weren't much, how come they were taken down by Hongmu with just two fingers?
Are those two stupid? Hongmu is the top of the six rankings, even I know her, and those two don't recognize her? If they did, they wouldn't have been so arrogant as to attack her directly. They have no brains at all.
Oh, that's strange. Logically speaking, once a red name is established on the leaderboard, they should definitely recognize the person.
No, no, no, look more closely. I've always felt I couldn't remember what Hongmu looked like, and today I specifically observed her. From our perspective, she still looks the same, but have you noticed that it's because we know she's Hongmu? If you close your eyes and go into the live stream without any other prompts, you'll most likely be just like them and won't remember what she looks like.
I tried it as you said, and it really works!
Wow, that's amazing! Why is that?
Before entering the secret realm, Hongmu ate a pill, which I guess was a type of Rejuvenation Pill. Similar Rejuvenation Pills are sold on the black market and the Star Network.
No wonder they couldn't recognize the mahogany.
That's not right. I've bought similar rejuvenating pills online and offline, but none of them are as effective as the one from Redwood. Anyone with a cultivation level similar to mine can tell I've used the rejuvenating pill.
Never mind that for now. Who said Hongmu was lucky? After one attack, she encountered a group of A-grade cotton worms, three waves of cultivators attempting assassination, five groups of demons, and then two more waves of open attacks by cultivators. Now… she's even caught up in a firefight between two sects.
: ...?
What?! I only missed ten minutes, and it's already this amazing?
[Huh? I'll go watch the live stream first and we'll talk later.]
Jiang He blended into an unknown sect. Because of her ordinary appearance, no cultivator noticed her at all, and they even mistook her for a companion.
This is the only stroke of luck amidst the misfortune we encountered today.
Who knows how many fights she got into in just a few minutes? This group of people was like designated NPCs; no matter how careful or hidden she was, she would always run into some cultivators.
If you run into each other, it's normal for it to be a life-or-death struggle.
In ten minutes, more and more cultivators were eliminated by Jiang He.
In the sect competition, if a single cultivator's elimination exceeds ten people, an announcement will be made. The transmission talisman is specially made and contains an advanced chip, somewhat similar to the communication device used in the academy competition. Except for the lack of signal, it can be used to update rules, official notices, and broadcast messages in real time, such as sect elimination information, cultivator killings, and so on.
Since it was the beginning of the season and there wasn't much news, Jiang He's elimination announcements, which came every ten minutes, stood out.
