Even the Lin Family only had a magic known as "Mind Illuminating Lamp." This magic was merely an aid to their cultivation practices, with most of the Lin Family focusing primarily on body refining. But now? Practically everyone in the Profound Yellow Sect had one or even several types of magic at their disposal. How could this not shock people?

The most terrifying thing was the location of the Profound Yellow Sect, right at the edge of the deepest part of the Demon Beast Forest. If one were to go any further Outside, they would reach the Endless Sea. Who would place their Sect in such an incredibly dangerous place? What kind of existence was the Sect Leader of the Profound Yellow Sect?

"Junlin, did you bring a cheerleading team back with you?"

"That young man looks alright; I just wonder how good his skills are in bed."

"You're a female player. Can't you be a little more reserved?"

"If I had known, I would have looked for NPCs Outside too. I didn't expect NPCs Outside to be so handsome. Isn't he way more appealing than the Sect Leader?"

"..."

Several female players around unabashedly sized Lin Chen up. Their devouring glances made Lin Chen feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"Brother Jun, they..." Lin Chen started uneasily.

Junlin laughed. "Don't mind them. They just think you're good-looking and want to spend a night with you. Male players can linger in Brothels, so why can't female players seek out male NPCs? After all, it's all in the game. It doesn't affect reality, and it can genuinely satisfy their desires, so naturally, female players are also tempted."

Lin Chen swallowed hard, at a loss for words. The Female Disciples of the Profound Yellow Sect did indeed look quite good, but he wasn't that kind of person.

"Let's go; the exit is just ahead."

Junlin led Lin Chen and his team toward the exit at the Back Mountain.

As Everyone stepped out, the entire scene before their eyes changed. The endless, dense forest was no more, replaced by interconnected pavilions and palace halls.

This...

Lin Chen and his team were even more astonished by the sight before them.

An Array?! To use an Array to hide this place within the Demon Beast Forest... not many could accomplish such a feat. There must be an Array Grandmaster behind the Profound Yellow Sect. Terrifying! It was definitely the right decision to build a good relationship with the Profound Yellow Sect.

"Eh? Flourishing Flowers actually brought people too."

Old Mo looked at the group of women not far away and said with a smile, "Looks like his efforts to curry favor paid off. This guy's got some skills."

"Well, he's part of the Beijing Circle. How could he get by without a few tricks?" Poisonous Panda couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Lately, Old Mo's brain seemed to be working less and less effectively. Could cultivating "Eight Gates Escape Armor" actually lower one's IQ?

"Brother Jun, is this the Profound Yellow Sect?"

Lin Chen looked at the Disciples coming and going around him, a hint of doubt in his mind.

Why are they all in the Qi Cultivation Realm? Where are the people from higher Realms? The Patriarch of our Lin Family is a Nascent Soul powerhouse! How could this mysterious Profound Yellow Sect not have any such experts?

"This isn't our Profound Yellow Sect; Brother Xu wouldn't let you go to our Sect," Old Mo said, shaking his head. "This is the location of the Celestial One Daoist Sect. We'll have our competition here tomorrow, and Brother Xu might not even show up."

Brother Xu? Is he the Sect Leader of the Profound Yellow Sect?

"Come on, I'll take you to find a place to rest."

Junlin turned to them and said, "Don't go near the Array at the entrance of Taibai Hall. Our Sect Leader has a bit of a temper and isn't very friendly to outsiders. If you pass through the Array and end up in the Profound Yellow Sect, he might beat us up."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen made a mental note and specifically cautioned Zhang Yuan and the others. Still, his curiosity about the Sect Leader of the Profound Yellow Sect only grew stronger.

What kind of person could teach so many exceptionally talented Qi Cultivation Realm masters? Is the Qi Cultivation Realm strong? Not strong! In fact, it could be called pathetically weak. But the Qi Cultivation Realm practitioners of the Profound Yellow Sect couldn't be judged by common standards. Have you ever seen someone in the Qi Cultivation Realm kick a Foundation Establishment Realm Demonic Beast to death? So, the Profound Yellow Sect absolutely couldn't be underestimated.

"Yo, Junlin, you guys brought people too?" Flourishing Flowers looked at Junlin and his team approaching, somewhat surprised. After all, people from Lingxiao Hall rarely cooperated with outsiders.

He currently stood with Yan Ruyu, presenting quite the picture of a cowpat beside a beautiful flower.

Old Mo stepped forward, glanced at them, and sighed, shaking his head. "Shopkeeper Yan, how can your taste be so poor as to actually fall for him?"

"Old Mo, what do you mean by that?" Flourishing Flowers' face darkened.

What does he mean, 'actually fall for him'? I, Flourishing Flowers, am the Hall Master of Cloud Lament! How am I lacking in any way?

Yan Ruyu smiled but said nothing, her gaze landing on Junlin and the others accompanying them.

These people must be from the Outside, right? Never mind Lin Chen's strength at the Qi Cultivation Realm; even the guards around him are all at the Qi Cultivation Realm. In the past, such a lineup could have roamed freely without any restraints!

"He's praising you!" Old Mo chuckled. "Just make sure you don't run into me tomorrow; I'll be playing dirty!"

Upon hearing this, the faces of everyone from Cloud Lament fell. They weren't afraid of the people from the Second Legion or the War Alliance, but they truly dreaded those from Lingxiao Hall. There was no other reason than their overwhelming strength. To this day, Old Mo remained the player with the highest combat power. Everyone knew full well that whoever encountered Old Mo tomorrow was absolutely guaranteed to lose!

"See you tomorrow," Junlin said with a smile. "Try not to let us take all the Top Ten spots."

With that, the members of Lingxiao Hall turned and departed.

Yan Ruyu watched their retreating figures and asked curiously, "Flourishing Flowers, you seem quite wary of Junlin and his team?" She was quite familiar with the people of the Profound Yellow Sect and knew some of their names.

"It's not just me; all of us are wary!" Flourishing Flowers sighed. "I just hope they run into some kind of accident tomorrow; otherwise, this friendly competition will be too dull."

The faces of the others also fell.

It couldn't be helped. There was simply no comparison. Who could they blame when everyone from Lingxiao Hall was so strong?

"Other than them, do you have any other rivals?" Yan Ruyu asked curiously.

Hearing this, Flourishing Flowers immediately fell silent.

Other rivals? Chaotic Dance Steps... that kid took advantage of me being busy with romance to frantically improve his strength; he should count as a tough opponent. Then there's I, Xuanqing; Half-Leaf; Half-Leaf's father—those guys are also trouble. The people from the War Alliance are an even bigger headache. And then there are the seemingly weak ones like Little Boss and his crew. Life Players might seem unassuming on a regular day, but once they get serious, their combat effectiveness is not to be underestimated. Dung Beetle is public enemy number one for all players! If that guy decides to be obnoxious, even Old Mo might have to steer clear. Among the Third Test Players, there are also quite a few hiding their true strength, turning a simple game into something resembling a spy thriller. Those Third Test Players are a crafty bunch!

"There are quite a few," Flourishing Flowers sighed. "I just hope I don't get eliminated in the first round tomorrow. There are many people I really don't want to encounter, but I'm still hoping to make it through at least a few rounds."

Upon hearing this, Yan Ruyu looked at him with a complicated expression in her eyes.

After a moment, she finally said slowly, "Even if you lose, it's no big deal. After all, it's just a friendly competition; winning and losing are normal."

Just a friendly competition?

Flourishing Flowers shook his head slightly. He knew players well. These scoundrels, normally so amiable, transformed completely when a Task was involved. They would strike with ruthless viciousness! Take the fight this morning between Half-Leaf and his dad—who could even tell they were father and son? Spars between players were all about who could be the most treacherous. It didn't matter who you were; the only goal was to eliminate you. For the Task Rewards, they probably wouldn't even spare those closest to them! Take the Duck Leg Rice Couple, for instance. If they encountered each other, they'd likely fight to the death!

"You don't understand them." Flourishing Flowers sighed and shook his head. "They're a bunch of lunatics. Tomorrow, you'll understand why I'm saying this."
