“Among you, there’s an imposter!”
“The Demon Cleansing Barrier has been destroyed; you must find a way to repair it. Please check your mission list, go to the designated location to complete the mission, and repair the barrier!”
“The imposter will hinder you from completing the mission, so be careful and don’t trust anyone other than yourself!”
“Upon discovering a body, you can shake the wind chi in your hand.”
“Once the wind chi is shaken, everyone will be teleported to the Ancestral Hall, where you can vote to banish soone.”
“You can also teleport everyone to the Ancestral Hall by offering sacrifices there (only one chance per ga).”
“Complete the mission, repair the barrier; or find the imposter and banish them.”
“Good luck, survive!”
Looking at the introduction that appeared before them, most Cultivators were utterly bewildered.
The place where Zhong Yi appeared was a large study.
Another player appeared with him, with “Four” written on his forehead, followed by his nickna.
“This Illusion Realm’s introduction is so complicated! What does it an that there’s an imposter among us?”
This person didn’t recognize Zhong Yi, clearly not a Lingxiao Sect Disciple.
Before Zhong Yi’s eyes, an additional piece of information appeared.
“Your identity is: Demonic {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} Path (Ghoul Demon)”
“Special Ability: In one ga, you can devour one player’s body. (0/1)”
“Your missions are:”
“1. Go to the study to find scattered pages”
“2. Go to the center of the fountain to repair the formation stone”
“3. Restore the collapsed statue behind the mountain”
“Your missions are all fake.”
“Find a way to kill everyone outside of the Demonic Path to win!”
After only a brief pause, Zhong Yi quickly cald down.
“It probably ans that so of us are from the Demonic Path or the Yao Race.”
He assud a defensive posture, stepping back half a step, his face full of wariness.
“Fellow Daoist... you wouldn’t be the imposter, would you? Please don’t kill !”
“Hey, hey, Fellow Daoist, don’t misunderstand! I’m a good person!”
The player nad 【Honest and Trustworthy Wang Zhiyuan】 quickly waved his hands.
“You’re a good person? Then what’s your identity?”
Zhong Yi continued to retreat several steps, his acting very convincing.
“I’m a Seer! I can see how many Souls are floating around the entire scene... but my skill isn’t ready yet, I can’t use it.”
【Honest and Trustworthy Wang Zhiyuan】 spoke with great sincerity.
“Alright... then I believe you. I’m a commoner, I don’t have any abilities.”
Zhong Yi’s tensed body relaxed, and he walked a few steps closer to Wang Zhiyuan.
Before starting the ga, he had read about the skills of several professions, and he felt that impersonating a commoner should be a low-risk strategy.
Based on number four’s answer, Zhong Yi secretly gained new information.
Everyone’s skills either had cooldowns or limited uses.
As a Demonic Path mber, his 【kill】 also had a cooldown.
However, it was almost ready.
“That’s good. I feel like you’re quite smart, Fellow Daoist, I feel very safe following you!”
Wang Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if he had found an organization.
With a “clack” sound.
Zhong Yi’s hand rose and fell, and Wang Zhiyuan instantly beca a corpse.
After waiting a few more seconds, once the 【Ghoul】 skill lit up, Zhong Yi quickly “devoured” the body.
The use of these skills didn’t have animation.
It was just drawing the blade and then a unified death screen, or using a skill and the body would disappear.
Otherwise, if the process of the Demonic Path eating corpses was depicted too concretely, Lu Ze worried that the Righteous Path wouldn’t want to play.
“Alright, ti to find my teammate.”
Zhong Yi glanced at the list and shook his head helplessly.
His teammate was Mu Yawen, number “Two.”
Given Mu Yawen’s personality, being a Demonic Path mber would surely be full of flaws, so Zhong Yi felt he had to find him quickly.
He was lucky.
As soon as he exited the study and arrived at the garden fountain, pretending to do a mission, he saw Mu Yawen crouching in the bushes, trembling.
Not far away, a number five and a number eight were staring at him suspiciously.
This kid’s eyes were flustered, looking at everyone like a thief; it would be strange if he wasn’t suspected of being a Demonic Path mber...
Zhong Yi walked over, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Upon seeing Zhong Yi appear, Mu Yawen looked as if he had seen a savior.
“Senior Brother Zhong, I, I am...”
“I know, you’re scared to death of everyone you see, terrified of being killed... a good person, right? Right!”
Zhong Yi interrupted Mu Yawen loudly before he could speak, afraid of being exposed.
The transmission of sound in this Illusion Realm was very strange.
Even whispering would be heard by players within a very large range, seemingly deliberately to prevent people from whispering under others’ noses.
Mu Yawen looked at Zhong Yi, whose na was red above his head, with a bewildered expression.
“Senior Brother, why is your head...”
“Sigh, I have a mission at the rockery, will you co with ? If you encounter a Demonic Path mber, you can shake the wind chi for !”
Zhong Yi reacted extrely quickly, interrupting Mu Yawen again and pushing him to leave quickly.
It wasn’t until they were in a deserted place that Zhong Yi smiled helplessly:
“Junior Brother Mu, you almost got your Senior Brother killed!”
“Senior Brother, didn’t you say you’d teach how to catch Demonic Path mbers... how did we both beco Demonic Path mbers...”
Mu Yawen said with a long face.
“Heh, if you personally experience being a Demonic Path mber, won’t you know what they usually think and do? Junior Brother Lu’s idea is actually pretty good.”
Zhong Yi explained.
Mu Yawen looked confused: “Then what should I do next?”
“Simple.”
Zhong Yi looked confident.
“If others ask you, just say you’re a good person and don’t know anything.”
He had already figured out the aning of this ga—
It was a gamble between truth and lies!
As a good person, expose the Demonic Path’s identity.
As a Demonic Path mber, deceive good people and kill them in secret!
As for the Yao Race’s mission, he wasn’t clear.
But based on the na, he guessed it was similar to the Demonic Path.
“This round, Senior Brother will carry you!”
...
When everyone hadn’t yet figured out the rules.
Zhong Yi was undoubtedly a standout existence.
He took Mu Yawen and killed another person at the rockery, then left triumphantly, feeling great.
“Rember, if others ask you later, just say you don’t know... don’t tell them anything.”
Zhong Yi instructed.
“Don’t tell them anything... Understood!”
Mu Yawen nodded solemnly, wishing he could take out a small notebook to write down Zhong Yi’s words.
“Player Nine discovered a body and shook the wind chi.”
Instantly, everyone appeared in the Sect’s Ancestral Hall.
Player Nine was nad 【Gatekeeper of Heavenly Mystery Sect】, clearly a Tianxuan Sect Disciple.
“I found the body at the rockery, I’m a good person... Let think, I think I saw numbers 1 and 2 heading towards the rockery earlier, they might be the imposters.”
After all, it was a Tianxuan Sect Disciple’s statent; the logic and thinking were very sound.
Zhong Yi remained calm:
“? Number Two and I have exchanged identities; I’m a Seer, he’s a Detective. There shouldn’t be anyone else here with the sa identity as us, right?”
Both identities were extracted by him from the mouths of dead good people. With such specific information, the expressions of the others were half-convinced.
Zhong Yi continued:
“We are Senior Brothers from Lingxiao Sect; we know each other in reality, which is why we’re acting together. The chance of knowing each other in reality and also happening to be imposters together must not be high, right? Our mission just happened to be at the rockery, that’s why we went there to do the mission.”
With this addition, even Player Nine, who had initially questioned them, began to lean towards believing them.
After Zhong Yi had bluffed a lot and felt victory was within his grasp, he ended his statent.
The turn to speak ca to Mu Yawen.
He looked flustered, his lips trembling.
He said word by word:
“I...”
“I won’t tell you!!!”

【P.S. I just said yesterday that I wouldn’t write about The Way of the Devil Slaughter for now, and today I’m contradicting myself. No choice, temporarily changing the outline, I can’t write it. .】
【According to the plot logic, after Lu Ze experienced a Demonic Path ambush, the Righteous Path launches a siege against the Demonic Path, then Senior Brother Mu appears troubled, and Lu Ze creates an Illusion Realm to solve it... This is the most logical developnt for the plot. I tried to adjust it temporarily, I wrote all night, revised several versions, and they all felt very wrong. And the material wasn’t prepared at all. I can only follow the original idea.】
【Still, firmly write the story you feel is correct and interesting. Don’t be influenced by anyone. If you think XX ga is not good or uninteresting, please skip ahead and wait for the gas you like. I also don’t want the whole book to fall into disarray because of so opinions.】
【Well, without affecting myself, I will try to keep up with the reading as much as possible. After “my world” ended, many people put the book aside. It’s almost dying.】
