After I left the sect, the entire sect knelt down and begged for forgiveness.

After checking the talismans and formations placed around the area and finding nothing amiss, he prepared to go out and hunt monsters to earn points.

With her rich experience gained from countless life-and-death trials in the Ten Thousand Demon Forest, Lin Yan seemed to have become one with the forest, easily detecting the traces of low-level demon beasts.

If the three children could follow her into the secret realm, finding the monsters would be a piece of cake for the Red Enchantress, given her keen senses.

Now she can only rely on her own abilities, mainly targeting monsters of the third rank and below, and gaining points by defeating them.

Killing these low-level demonic beasts was as easy as taking candy from a baby; her attacks were clean and swift, and almost every strike hit the vital points precisely.

He skillfully controlled his strength with each move, trying not to make too much noise to avoid attracting unnecessary trouble.

However, the points gained this way were still too slow! After all, once the rankings were released in five days, she stopped hunting monsters and stopped earning points.

Thinking about it this way, she felt that it wasn't impossible to touch fourth- or fifth-tier demonic beasts!
Whether it was heaven hearing her heart's desire or not, at that moment, a lithe, fifth-tier black panther quietly appeared within her perception range.

The black panther exuded a cold aura, moved nimbly, and possessed astonishing explosive power.

Lin Yan knew she couldn't fight him head-on, and she didn't want to make too much of a commotion. Almost the instant the black panther appeared, she swiftly activated the nearby vines, which, like countless green pythons, coiled around the black panther with lightning speed.

In order to kill with one blow, she took out a spirit sword from the mark, pierced through the body of the fifth-tier black panther, and quickly put the spirit sword back.

She dared not be careless. Instead of withdrawing the vines, she held the Cold Wind Sword and stabbed the black panther several times until she was sure it was completely dead. Only then did she scan the panther's corpse with the bracelet and successfully absorb the beast core.

She then skillfully cleaned up the black panther's carcass without leaving a trace, and continued her search for prey.

As time passed, the sky gradually turned a pale white. Lin Yan realized that dawn was approaching and that it might be dangerous if she didn't return to her hiding place soon, so she decided to turn back.

Along the way, she sensed a group of people heading her way, so she quickly concealed herself and took the opportunity to check which sect they belonged to, how many there were, and their strength.

She had considered taking a detour, but due to the terrain, she couldn't arrive before dawn, as there would be even more disciples out and about then, and she might not be lucky enough to avoid it every time.

A sharp-eyed disciple spotted her and quickly notified everyone in the group. They didn't speak, but since they were close by, they communicated directly using telepathy.

Seeing the hostility in their eyes, Lin Yan knew something was wrong.

Before she could react, the sect disciples swarmed forward. Various magical lights flashed as they attacked Lin Yan.

She quickly threw out a bunch of talismans, using the cover of the night and the talismans to fight and retreat, while silently taking out spirit stones and throwing them out one by one.

With swift hand seals, a mid-level illusion array was formed. Within the array, clouds and mist swirled, and various illusions emerged one after another, causing the disciples to lose their way and becoming trapped within it.

This intermediate-level illusion array is certainly not as sophisticated as the illusion array of the array plate. It is like a paper tiger, all show and no substance, and cannot trap them for long.

Taking advantage of the opening, she slipped away quickly, without looking back or stopping!
Back at her hiding place, she realized it wasn't safe anymore. She had sped back, leaving traces along the way.

If those disciples are determined to fight her to the death, they will definitely come after breaking the formation, so she needs to move to a different location quickly. Before leaving, she left a surprise here; when someone finds this place and breaks in, the surprise will explode with a "bang!"

Lin Yan traversed the secret realm, using her keen perception of the terrain and the flow of spiritual energy to find a place that could serve as temporary hiding place.

This is a natural cave hidden by vines and boulders. It is dark and damp inside, with a faint musty smell. The cave is not spacious and there are traces of small monsters.

After cleaning up a bit, she set up a defensive formation outside, affixed talismans to the hidden areas, and then took out the array plate to set up the second layer of formation.

Back in the cave, she flicked her sleeve and created a protective barrier. For added security, with three layers of protection, she could feel more at ease during the day.

Lin Yan planned to use this place as her hiding place, going out at night and returning to adjust her condition just before dawn.

Time flies like an arrow; five days passed in the blink of an eye...

She's very good at racking up points; she already has over 3,700 points.

Outside the secret realm, the eliminated disciples gathered in front of a giant light screen, each with a different expression.

When they saw that Lin Yan's score was firmly at the top of the list and far exceeded that of the second place, there was a low gasp and discussion in the crowd.

Five days have passed, and many independent cultivators have been eliminated. Lin Yan has not only not been eliminated, but her score has also been rising, which even sect disciples cannot catch up with. What are those sect disciples who have formed teams doing?
It's said that the disciples of major sects are united and have a strong ability to accumulate points, so does that mean that independent cultivators can't compete with them on their own?
The disciples who had always thought Lin Yan could only rack up points in the first two days dared not utter a sound.

Every time they come to this screen, they are proven wrong; they come happily but leave with dark faces...

"How did Lin Yan manage to do that? Her score is so high, could she have cheated?"

The person speaking was a sect disciple who had been eliminated by Lin Yan on the fourth day. His tone was full of malicious speculation and resentment.

He was just a disciple of a mid-level sect, and he teamed up with a dozen or so members from his own sect. In the end, she ambushed the entire team with a formation.

They were scattered when they entered the formation set up by others. Although they broke the formation quickly, several disciples had already been eliminated. When they counterattacked, the person immediately retreated, and one person chased after them.

"Who knows? There's no Heavenly Eye in this secret realm, so who knows how she got her points!" The people standing around immediately chimed in!

Many of the eliminated disciples agreed with these words. They harbored jealousy and prejudice, making it difficult for them to acknowledge that others were stronger.

Everyone says that Lin Yan's methods of gaining points are shady, but they dare not stand up and ask the elders to uphold justice.

They only dare to gather here to chatter about crickets. With such a mindset, it's no wonder their cultivation is stagnant and their strength is lacking.

Inside the secret realm, the disciples who also checked their rankings on their bracelets were surprised to see that the first place was not from any sect, especially since the first place score was so high!
The second-place player has over 3,700 points, while the first-place player has less than 1,000 points! Even if they catch up now, they probably won't be able to get 3,000 points.
The other major clubs' leaders looked increasingly grim upon seeing this score.

They teamed up to hunt monsters, casually eliminating any rogue cultivators they encountered. Before their rankings were announced on their bracelets... (End of Chapter)
