“Well done. It’s not in vain that the Sky Demon League has nurtured you for so long. Tell me what reward you want.

The black-robed man’s voice was strong and filled with a fearsome aura.

Liu Yuan said in fear and trepidation, “It’s all thanks to the organization’s excellent nurturing. Liu Yuan doesn’t dare to take credit.”

“Haha.” The black-robed man laughed loudly. “You don’t have to be so polite. As a member of the Sky Demon League, you have to completely release your desires. This has always been the only unchanging mantra of our Sky Demon League. If you’re not greedy, you’re not a qualified member of the Sky Demon League.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Yuan did not hide it anymore and immediately revealed a greedy expression. “Then, Master, please bestow me with grace.”

“Take it.”

The black-robed man nodded in satisfaction and gave his subordinate a look.

His subordinate immediately opened the jade box. A round medicinal pill covered in purple stripes lay quietly in it.

The black-robed man’s palm shook, and the pill immediately floated into the air and landed in front of Liu Yuan.

“Take it.”

“Yes.”

Without any hesitation, Liu Yuan swallowed the pill.

Immediately, a sinister and evil aura could be seen moving around Liu Yuan’s body.

A purple aura flowed through his limbs and covered his entire face. His aura climbed steadily. In the blink of an eye, his cultivation broke through from the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm and broke through to the Golden Core Realm.

“As expected of the Sky Demon League. To be able to reach the Golden Core Stage so easily, this feeling is really amazing. With this pill, I feel that I can win every battle now.”

Liu Yuan’s face was filled with greed and reminiscence. He liked this feeling too much.

The black-robed man observed and gradually revealed a gratified smile. “You’ve absorbed it well. You’ve passed. From now on, you’re the representative of the Sky Demon League in the Black Heaven Sect. Take it.”

The black-robed man waved his sleeve, and a palm-sized bronze mirror with the word ‘six’ on its back landed in Liu Yuan’s hand.

“T-this is a jade mirror?! Master, a-are you really giving me this?”

Liu Yuan’s voice and the hand holding the jade mirror were trembling.

He could not be blamed for being so excited. The Sky Demon League was a common name for spies planted by the demons in various large organizations in the world.

And the owner of the jade mirror of the Sky Demon League had a pivotal position in the Sky Demon League.

To obtain the jade mirror, one had to either make outstanding contributions to the organization or have a high position in the place where the undercover agent was stationed like the black-robed man in front of him.

Liu Yuan was just a junior disciple of a mid-tier sect. He could not meet any of the requirements. What right did he have to own the mirror?

The black-robed man did not deliberately hide it. He said in a deep voice,

“It’s true that you’re not qualified in any way, but…”

Then, he changed the topic and emphasized,

“This is Number One’s request.”

“Number One.” Liu Yuan’s eyes widened as he muttered in shock.

Although Liu Yuan did not know the identity of the holder of the number one jade mirror, he knew that the higher the number, the more important the position of the spy holding the jade mirror was to the demons.

The identity of this spy was similar to the level of the upper echelons of the Dao Alliance or the royal family.

A big shot of this level had requested it, and it was even the sixth jade mirror. Could it be that there was a major secret hidden in this small Black Heaven Sect?

“If there are any subsequent arrangements, the higher-ups will inform you through the jade mirror. What you have to do now is to show your loyalty to the organization.”

The black-robed man waved his sleeves and gave the order.

Liu Yuan immediately understood. Even if the other party did not give the order, he could not wait to test his current strength.

Looking in the direction where Jiang Hong left, Liu Yuan smiled evilly.

“The number one talent of the Black Heaven Sect. Heh, I want to see how long you can last against me.”

…

“Ha!”

A loud roar broke the silence in the clouds.

Wielding his sword with both hands, Linley chopped down from the skies. The three-foot-long sword-light from his greatsword was incredibly powerful, instantly splitting a giant wolf the size of a small mountain in half.

Even the surrounding trees were not spared from the aura produced by the sword light. They were bombarded until they were bare.

Bright red blood splattered out from the wolf like a blooming red lotus, instantly covering the yellow earth. A demon wolf who had just entered the Foundation Establishment Realm was nothing in front of Linley.

“Brother, you’re awesome. As expected of you.”

Not far behind, there was a female voice. Her voice was sweet and clear like a lark.

Her jet-black hair was tied into high pigtails, and her oval-shaped face was immature. Her facial features were well-defined, and her expression was somewhat similar to Linley’s as she clapped excitedly.

After slaying the demon wolf, Linley slowly let out a long breath. He used his divine sense to scan his surroundings, and after confirming that there was no Demonic Qi, he sheathed his greatsword and turned around.

“Li Dong, Liu Er, you guys guard the surroundings. The rest of you, sit down and meditate. Qian’er, distribute the Energy Replenishing Pills to everyone…”

Li Dong and Liu Er were the names of two other people in the same group. After Linley finished arranging everything, he found a big tree and sat cross-legged to recuperate.

His younger sister, a pure and sweet-looking girl, was holding a Qi Replenishing Pill and distributing it to her teammates like a little girl next door.

Everyone in the same group received the pill that the girl had personally handed to them. Only Jiang Hong did not directly receive the pill. The girl just casually pointed at the place where the pill was placed and pouted before turning around and leaving.

“Her name is Lin Qian’er, and she is Linley’s younger sister. She is also a strong supporter of your Senior Sister Gu. In my opinion, it is most likely because she saw you and Senior Sister Gu together, which tainted her dreams and made her unhappy.”

At the side, Wang Han thoughtfully explained the woman’s identity to Jiang Hong in a low voice.

“Compared to her identity, I’m more interested in correcting your misguided thoughts…” Jiang Hong ridiculed in his heart. He turned around and asked.

“Oh, so?”

Wang Han patted his shoulder and said earnestly,

“You already have a senior sister. Don’t be depressed just because you’re despised by Sister Qian’er. You can’t be too greedy.”

“Who told you I was depressed because of this?” Jiang Hong rolled his eyes speechlessly.

Wang Han sighed and waved his hand. “Forget it. You’re just short of writing the word ‘depressed’ on your face. You still dare deny it?”

Jiang Hong did not deny that he was depressed, but he was not upset because of such an insignificant matter.

His heart ached because of attribute points.

They had already walked more than half of the way. Aside from the wolf demon just now, they had only encountered a few Qi Refining Realm monsters. Almost all of them had been killed by Linley with a single sword strike. Jiang Hong had no chance to fight at all.

Without a chance to do anything, there were no attribute points.

Moreover, Linley killed them so quickly.

Even if he wanted to go up and kill them together, he did not have the chance.

“I can’t let this situation continue…”

Otherwise, this rare trial would be wasted.

Just as Jiang Hong was about to do something…

“Hey, why is it foggy?”
