With the help of the Reincarnation Art, the originally mysterious and dangerous night unfolded clearly in Li Shuang's eyes.
She always led the group to the most suitable targets.
This time.
Their efficiency was higher than last time.
Those who had participated before cooperated more tacitly this time.
The newcomers quickly integrated under the guidance of the others.
This time.
They hunted two waves of demonic beasts.
Then, they immediately went to the Demonic Beast Pavilion to redeem points.
Under Li Shuang's lead, they returned safely to the disciple dorms once again.
Those who had followed Li Shuang once before didn't have as clear a realization.
However, those who had ventured independently before and only joined the second time felt as if they were in a dream.
No, were they entering the same secret realm?
The boss effortlessly reaped points.
Yet, when they acted alone before, they faced various life-and-death crises, almost losing their lives multiple times.
Now.
Everyone had only one thought.
They absolutely must stick to this big shot!
Soon.
Lin An came for his second patrol.
This time.
All those who went out had followed Li Shuang's lead, and not a single one was lost after the expedition.
Lin An looked strangely at Room No. 1. Li Shuang... it seemed a little monster had entered this time.
Lin An didn't pursue it further. He lazily said, "Very good. It seems everyone stayed obediently in their rooms this time."
Lin An was silent for a moment, then surprisingly reminded them, "The next time I patrol will be at dawn. The night... will pass."
Everyone's heart tensed.
The passage of time in the Langya Sect secret realm was indeed different from other places.
In just an hour and a half, the night was about to end!
Lin An turned and left.
Li Shuang led the group, redoubling their efforts for a new round of hunting.
After a night had passed.
Everyone who followed Li Shuang returned safely, and each had accumulated a certain amount of points.
Li Shuang herself had an enormous gain of fifty points.
Coupled with the two tasks she completed during the day, she now had a grand total of sixty-three points!
Li Shuang's eyes flickered.
One hundred points would allow a regular disciple to become an elite disciple.
She was already an elite disciple, so, according to Elder Chen, she only needed 100 points to qualify for the Ascension Array!
She might actually be able to sneak in before the plot of the Langya Sect's ascension began!
After Lin An's final patrol.
The sky brightened.
Lin An calmly said, "Everyone, out of your rooms."
No one dared to be slow, and they all came out.
"Congratulations, fifty-five of you have witnessed today's dawn. Among them, five people's points... are zero," Lin An said calmly.
He waved his hand. The five people with zero points immediately took a step forward, seemingly against their will.
These five weren't particularly panicked.
Some of them intentionally didn't do any tasks, while others failed to complete them, so their points were currently zero.
If their points were zero, at most, they would be expelled from the Langya Sect secret realm. This place was so dangerous; they didn't want to stay anyway.
"Those with zero points... are to be expelled from the Langya Sect," Lin An said calmly.
A joyous smile even appeared on the faces of these five people. They had long been fed up with this place.
The next moment.
Five streaks of sword qi descended from the sky.
The smiles on the faces of these five people froze, but their pupils had already dilated!
They struggled to say something but ultimately just collapsed to the ground powerlessly.
Lin An calmly looked at the others: "According to the rules of my Langya Sect, disciples expelled from the sect are put to death!"
His voice was cold.
A hint of panic involuntarily arose in everyone's hearts.
Several people even looked gratefully at Li Shuang.
Their points were originally zero as well.
However, yesterday they had trusted Li Shuang and gone out with her. Because they had hunted demonic beasts, they now had a few points in their hands. Otherwise, there would have been a few more corpses on the ground!
As if the previous killings had never happened, Lin An casually said, "Today, three tasks will still be assigned."
"Task one: Assist Senior Brother Lin of the Artifact Forging Pavilion to refine ores. Reward: Ten points."
"Task two: Assist Senior Sister Ming of the Alchemy Room to sort medicinal herbs. Reward: Three points."
"Task three: Within the sect, persuade a wavering Langya Sect disciple to firmly support ascension. Reward: One point."
There were still three tasks.
This time.
Most people didn't move; they instinctively looked at Li Shuang.
Even Cang Yin, Feng Yu, and Yan Lie showed no surprise.
In one night, Li Shuang had officially established her authority, and everyone subconsciously began to rely on her.
Lin An's eyes flickered as he observed this situation. He looked at Li Shuang: "Are you still going to accept all three tasks?"
If Li Shuang didn't move, it seemed no one else would either.
Li Shuang didn't accept immediately; instead, she looked at Lin An with some curiosity.
All the other Langya Sect disciples in the sect only made detours and spoke out of line under the guidance of her Reincarnation Art.
But Lin An...
He seemed much more agile than the others from the very beginning.
This Senior Brother seemed special.
"I'll take them now." Li Shuang also accepted all three tasks in one go.
Seeing this, the others finally followed suit.
Li Shuang walked forward, and the people behind her followed closely.
Li Shuang stopped, and they stopped too.
Li Shuang felt a little helpless for a moment. She turned around and said, "The daytime tasks, as long as you don't deliberately violate taboos, aren't very dangerous. Everyone can act separately."
Only then did everyone respond, each making their own choices.
"Yesterday, I failed the ten-point and three-point tasks, and eventually, due to lack of time, I couldn't even complete the one-point task. Today, I plan to go directly for the simplest task."
"The ten-point task, I'm not going to try. I'll go check out the three-point task first. Coincidentally, I have some alchemy skills."
"The ten-point task... there's no point in even thinking about completing it, but I can go watch the spectacle."
Everyone quickly split up.
Cang Yin came closer: "Sister Shuang, from yesterday's situation, only the ten-point task could potentially be life-threatening. Are you still planning to challenge the ten-point task?"
Logically speaking.
The difficulty of obtaining these ten points was much harder than hunting demonic beasts.
Of course.
This was also because Li Shuang led the team at night; if they acted alone, it would be a near-certain death for anyone else.
Li Shuang nodded: "Let's go take a look first."
The Artifact Forging Pavilion! She had wanted to go there for a long time!
After all! This place was connected to the legendary divine artifact: the Thousand Silk Net!
When the Thousand Silk Net, such a divine artifact, was first found, it was not in its complete form.
Later, through generations of repairs by Langya Sect disciples, it had only now approached perfection.
If there was any place that might hold information about the Thousand Silk Net,
The Artifact Forging Pavilion had a very high probability!
