“Colluding with the Demonic Path? Buying and selling won and children? Truly deserving of death!”
Upon seeing the mission information, Zhong Yi’s eyes instantly turned cold.
Such utterly depraved scum deserved to die!
Zhong Yi wished he could imdiately use his Great Dao Truth Incantation, summon a gale, tear through the barrier around the manor, and go in to personally kill these beasts.
Unfortunately, Lu Ze’s Illusion Realm, as always, restricted his cultivation.
At this mont, he was Li Ang, a character in the story.
He had Peak Qi Refining cultivation.
This level of cultivation wouldn’t even qualify one for the inner sect in Lingxiao Sect.
However, in the mortal world, it was quite an extraordinary existence.
Therefore, Li Ang was a rare top-tier killer.
But then again... facing layers of guards and defensive Formations...
It was still a bit tricky.
“Oh? He’s combining practical combat with the Illusion Realm now? Interesting.”
A flicker of interest rose in Zhong Yi’s heart.
He first tried to force his way through, as he could tell at a glance that the barrier was of very poor quality and couldn’t actually defend against a Peak Qi Refining Cultivator at all.
Unfortunately, the commotion was too great, quickly attracting the attention of the guards.
Although these guards were all Early Stage Qi Refining, there were many of them, and they had weapons.
Zhong Yi quickly died on the spot.
Only then did he understand why the second mission requirent asked him to create as little commotion as possible.
Because with a little more commotion, he really couldn’t win... So Zhong Yi imdiately changed his approach, looking for the weakest point in the barrier, using Li Ang’s skills to break it, and then infiltrating.
The interior of the manor was very complex, with even more guards stationed inside than outside.
Zhang San’s room was located on the top floor, right in the center.
The difficulty of the assassination was extrely high, not to ntion having to create as little commotion as possible.
Zhong Yi tried several tis, all ending in failure.
“Strange, why is it so difficult?”
Zhong Yi frowned in frustration.
Lu Ze’s Illusion Realms were always very challenging.
But he knew very well that it would never be an unsolvable problem.
Zhong Yi closed his eyes and began to carefully consider everything that had happened since entering the Illusion Realm, muttering to himself:
“I must have missed so crucial information...”
...Lingxiao Sect, Danqing Peak.
After learning that Zhong Yi had temporarily been released from confinent and was currently experiencing Lu Ze’s new Illusion Realm, Zhou Yue was in a great mood and also entered the Illusion Realm world of “this devil cultivator is not so cold.”
At this mont, he was also going through the first main quest.
Under Zhong Yi’s influence, Zhou Yue had also gotten used to streaming while playing Illusion Realms.
With the two titles of “Master Operator” and “Top-tier Bad Luck,” Zhou Yue’s live stream also had good popularity, and as soon as he started broadcasting, a large wave of Cultivators poured in to watch.
“Yo! The strear hasn’t stread for days, and his face seems even darker!”
“Lao Zhou, without your gacha draws, I can’t sleep soundly.”
“New Illusion Realm? Looks quite interesting.”
“Don’t you know? This is Old Devil Lu’s new Illusion Realm! The first assassination mission stumped , so I ca to the live stream to learn how to pass it.”
“It’s so hard, as soon as you kill soone, the nearby sentries start shouting...”
“Holy cow, worthy of being True Disciple Zhou! He charged in taking so much damage!”
“Haha, if it were True Disciple Zhong, he might even kneel in a one-on-one.”
“Missing Lao Zhong...”
...As a tech-savvy individual, Zhou Yue didn’t bother with so many restrictions. He simply endured a group of soldiers, forced his way into Zhang San’s guest room, and took his head.
“Mission Complete!”
“Calculating...”
“Assassinate Zhang San: 30”
“Mission Duration: 10”
“Combat Score: 10”
“Stealth Assassination: 0”
“Find the ‘Black Snake Gang Ledger’: 0”
“Final Rating: Good”
“Reward Settlent: 100 Copper Coins”
Looking at the “Good” mission rating, Zhou Yue imdiately frowned in dissatisfaction.
How could a technical master like him receive such a low rating in a combat mission like this?
Zhou Yue expressed his dissatisfaction and decisively chose 【Restart Mission】, returning to the position before entering the manor.
“Damn it, as long as I kill soone, it attracts attention. How can I make little noise...”
Zhou Yue smacked his lips in frustration, recalling the combat process he had just gone through.
Li Ang’s skill bar had many stealth assassination skills, but they were very dependent on conditions and timing.
Zhou Yue could choose this cautious assassination thod, but it was very inconsistent with his general-like fighting style.
However, as long as he killed soone, other guards or sentries within sight would shout things like “Assassin!” or “Help!”
A red “Witnessed” status indicator would also appear above their heads, and at the sa ti, his mission score would start to drop.
“So, I can’t let them enter the ‘Witnessed’ state?”
At this thought, Zhou Yue’s mind suddenly cleared.
There was a short few seconds of reaction ti for guards from noticing sothing amiss to calling for backup.
Zhou Yue had a bold idea!
With that thought, he set off again, infiltrating the manor.
Upon seeing the first guard, he didn’t hesitate, directly ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) and boldly taking out his dagger and plunging it into the opponent’s chest.
The comnts section of the live stream instantly grew anxious.
“The mission wants you to do an assassination, maintain Li Ang’s killer identity... Why is the strear fighting openly again?!”
“Won’t this just repeat the sa mistake?”
“The key to this stage is not to be seen by other guards!”
“Oh no, the strear is going to be ganged up on again...”
“Assassinate! Assassinate! Assassination is what’s important!”
...However, the mont Zhou Yue killed the guard, he didn’t hesitate, switching his weapon, and a flying dagger “whooshed” into the throat of the sentry at the second-floor railing.
Imdiately after, just as the third guard was about to react, Zhou Yue raised his hand and a Fireball Talisman plunged into the opponent’s body... In just a few breaths of ti.
Guards fell one after another.
The combat score soared, and not a single guard appeared with a 【Witnessed】 status!
The comnts section was instantly awestruck.
“Holy cow! This works?!”
“As long as you kill fast enough, ‘Witnessed’ can’t catch up to the strear!”
“Does this even count as assassination...?”
“Just tell if he was discovered or not.”
“Good idea, just a bit demanding on execution.”
“Oh no, if True Disciple Zhong were here, he’d be bullied senseless.”
“Sigh, missing Lao Zhong...”
...Seeing the comnts, Zhou Yue also sighed.
“Fellow Daoists, I, Zhou, guarantee with my life... Brother Zhong is definitely not soone who can’t distinguish right from wrong! He will be back before long!”
As he spoke, Zhou Yue couldn’t help but secretly ponder in his heart how many tis the clumsy Zhong Yi would die if he were to play this stage... Just as he was thinking, a notification suddenly popped up in the bottom left corner of the Illusion Realm.
“The user you follow, ‘Genius Cultivator,’ has started streaming!”
...Lingxiao Sect, Siguo Valley.
Zhong Yi still decided to start streaming.
On one hand, he had full confidence in Lu Ze’s Illusion Realm, believing it could, to so extent, change everyone’s perception of that Demonic Path youth, so he wanted to witness this mont with the Cultivators;
On the other hand, he had discovered a brand new thod of passing the stage and simply couldn’t suppress his urge to share (and show off).
Zhong Yi’s fa in the streaming world was even higher than his status as a Lingxiao Sect True Disciple.
Plus, he was currently the focus of public opinion.
Therefore, as soon as he started streaming, countless viewers instantly poured in.
“Lao Zhong! Missed you!”
“Hahahaha, I knew the clumsy strear was stuck on the first stage.”
“Just take your ti and sneak through, it’s not hard.”
“Old Devil Lu is utterly depraved, torturing his good Senior Brother in the first stage.”
...Zhong Yi was currently at the entrance of the manor, where the mission had not yet begun.
Seeing the lively discussion in the comnts, Zhong Yi took out a blowgun bamboo tube and a small packet of powder from his backpack, saying mysteriously to the comnts:
“Don’t rush, everyone...”
“Let show you the marvel of Junior Brother Lu’s Illusion Realm!”
