Don't try to cultivate immortality; mortals live longer than immortals.

The change happened so suddenly that Nangong Jun had no time to dodge. The sword light slashed into his lower back, but it only touched his clothes before being deflected by a dazzling golden light.

The talisman's defense is extraordinary!

Nangong Jun's charge abruptly halted, his handsome face contorted with rage. Before he could even utter a curse, a gruff voice reached his ears: "What are you all waiting for? Are you just going to stand by and watch him snatch the treasure? Forget about this Nangong Ancestor. Since he's participating in the Blood Trial, he should be prepared to die. Let's all join forces and kill him first."

These words sounded crude, but they were full of seductive meaning, and the surrounding cultivators immediately became restless.

They had always disliked Nangong Jun, but were wary of the old monster from the Xuantian Sect. Now that things had developed to this point, they could no longer tolerate it.

"Good, kill this little guy first!"

"I've disliked him for a long time!"

"kill!"

"What's with the Blood Trial's airs? This kind of guy deserves to die!"

……

As a cacophony of voices filled the air, there were also treasures of various shapes and sizes.

There were all sorts of magical artifacts and talismans, and some who hadn't had time to retrieve their treasures simply used their best spells, and in an instant, everyone began to focus their attacks on them.

"You, you all want to die...?"

Nangong Jun was stunned.

I never expected to see this.

You must know how noble his status is. Even when facing a Golden Core Ancestor, the other party was always very polite. Are these guys crazy? How dare they attack him? Aren't they afraid that their ancestors will extract their souls and refine their spirits when they get out?

He cursed and threatened loudly, but it was to no avail. As the saying goes, once the arrow is released, there is no turning back. Since the cultivators had already started, there was no way they would give up halfway.

Since you've already offended the other party to death, do you really think they'll forgive you if you regret it and admit your mistake now?

Don't be naive. Either don't do it at all, or do it drastically!

Faced with Nangong Jun's threat, the group not only did not back down, but their eyes became even more menacing, and their attacks became increasingly fierce.

As the saying goes, many ants can kill an elephant. Even the defense set up by the talisman only lasted a few seconds before it became shaky and on the verge of collapse in the face of the siege of dozens of cultivators.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Duan Xuan was dumbfounded by what he saw.

He was just thinking about how to break the stalemate between the cultivators.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the other party started fighting amongst themselves.

At this moment, looking at the real-time monitoring footage transmitted back by the satellite through his retina, Duan Xuan's lips curled up slightly, and he couldn't help but praise the little girl without reservation: "Yun'er, did you do all of this?"

"Was that scene of the ancient elixir being born just now also a simulation by you?"

Although I know this girl is capable, her performance is just too exaggerated. The key question is, how did she manage to do all this?

Still filled with doubt, Lingyun, thankfully, had no intention of keeping her in suspense. She proudly boasted, "Of course I made it! That wooden box that kid took out earlier, while it could simulate the birth of a rare treasure and emit some strange phenomena, couldn't compare to the mirage system specially developed by the Immortal Alliance's researchers to deal with such situations in terms of realism and exaggeration!"

A mirage?

"Um."

Lingyun nodded, then smiled sweetly, "Alright, you don't need to know too much about these highly technical things, host. You just need to know that cultivation and technology each have their strengths. Although cultivators are unparalleled in combat power, various high-tech equipment can also be put to good use."

"Oh, right."

As the little girl spoke, a sly glint appeared in her eyes: "What I just did wasn't just a simulation of the elixir's birth; the sword strike that ambushed that arrogant brat was also the first one I struck."

"What?"

Duan Xuan was even more astonished. He turned to look at the smiling girl in front of him and asked, "Yun'er, are you saying that the boy named Nangong Jun wasn't attacked by his companion at the beginning, but that you were the one who did it?"

"What do you mean by 'using underhanded tactics'?" Lingyun pouted. "Host, can't you speak properly? Don't use such harsh language!"

He then added, "That kid's identity information is also in the database. Although his strength is average, he is a direct blood relative of the Supreme Elder of the Xuantian Sect and has the backing of the Nascent Soul Ancestor. He can be considered the most prestigious among all the Qingqiong Realm cultivators present."

"If I hadn't stirred things up, these guys might not have dared to lay a hand on him."

Duan Xuan nodded upon hearing this.

This is the broken window theory!

Normally, people would indeed be wary of Nangong Jun because of his identity, and would hesitate to make a move against him. But once someone takes the lead, they can't help but follow the crowd...

This is a classic case in psychology, and I never expected that Lingyun would use it so aptly here.

However, Duan Xuan still had some doubts: "But Yun'er, how did you control the flying sword to attack him?"

"That's not a flying sword."

Lingyun's lips curled up, a hint of playful smugness in them.

"Not a flying sword?"

"That's right, I don't cultivate immortality, how could I possibly control a flying sword?"

The little girl blinked: "This is an air sword drone developed by the Immortal Simulation Technology Administration of our Water Cloud Star. You can also call it a blade-type aircraft."

"What is it?"

Duan Xuan was completely confused and looked utterly bewildered.

"Simply put, the Immortal Dao Simulation Technology Administration is the top research institution on our Shuiyun Star. The researchers there are all great scientists and top students. The responsibility of this institution is to use modern technology to develop equipment for simulating immortal cultivation."

"What they developed are not true magical artifacts. For example, this Sky Sword Drone looks similar to a cultivator's flying sword, but in reality, it is a purely technological product, similar to a drone, but it has taken a different approach and is made into the shape of a flying sword. Moreover, it has powerful propulsion and superb hardness, so it can be used to slash horizontally and vertically like a flying sword."

Duan Xuan: "..."

Duan Xuan was speechless for a moment, unsure whether to say it was awesome or that the other party had gone to unnecessary trouble.

Regardless, this device did work; Lingyun was able to communicate with the Sky Sword drone in real time via satellite network.

Before leaving, bury it underground. When needed, a command is issued, and even if you are thousands of miles apart, this blade-shaped aircraft can be activated through the network and immediately take flight to injure the enemy.

Especially given the chaotic scene just now, Nangong Jun had no idea who had ambushed him. The other cultivators would never have guessed that someone had instigated them from the sidelines. Instead, due to the broken window theory, they were immediately fooled by the little girl and began to focus their attacks on Nangong Jun.
