The sword seller, dressed in red, deserves applause for the prankster.

Chi Miao smiled and said, "It's nothing, just a pill that will make you tell the truth."

Feng Yan's eyes widened in surprise: "You didn't trust me at all?!"

Chi Miao fell silent: "...Don't you guys think your acting is a bit over the top?"

The disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect were all silent.

It seems a bit exaggerated.

Damn it... They rehearsed for so long and said so much! And all they got was watched like they were watching a clown show!

Feng Yan was momentarily annoyed: "Hmph... if you want me to tell the truth, you'd better have the ability to do so first!"

He drew his sword, ready to attack Chi Miao.

Chi Miao sighed and shook his head, adopting an old-fashioned demeanor: "Sigh... young people are just too impulsive. It's not a big deal if you get hurt, but it would be bad if the flowers and plants got hurt. Let's talk this out calmly."

After she finished speaking, the golden light of merit behind her continued to expand.

She clasped her hands together, her gaze resolute.

Then... the man in front of him immediately knelt down on the ground.

Chi Miao: "See? I told you to calm down, but you wouldn't listen. Now you can't even hold a sword properly."

The Heavenly Sword Sect members: "..."

God is so calm!!

Chi Miao curled her lips into a smile, pinched Feng Yan's chin with her fingers, and then asked, "Tell me, what is your purpose in pretending to be like this to please me?"

Feng Yan's eyes darted away, intending to tell Chi Miao the words he had prepared long ago.

But the words got out of my mouth and I couldn't control them.

The Truth Pill worked, and Feng Yan said, "It was the Ancestor... the Ancestor sent us to put on a show to lure you to the Sword Enlightenment Stone Wall."

Chi Miao narrowed his eyes.

"The Enlightenment Stone Wall?"

The Heavenly Sword Sect was able to rise so quickly among sword cultivation sects not only because of the secret techniques it forcibly acquired, but also because of the Sword Enlightenment Stone Wall.

The Enlightenment Stone Wall can store a large amount of sword intent left by predecessors, helping sword cultivators to comprehend sword intent.

For sword cultivators, sword intent can significantly enhance their combat power. There's a saying among sword cultivators:

If you can't grasp the essence of swordsmanship before the age of thirty, hurry up and change careers; you're just not cut out for swords!

Those like Ying Wuhuo, who comprehended sword intent at the age of nineteen, are born sword cultivators.

This shows the importance of the Enlightenment Stone Wall to sword cultivators.

Chi Miao originally intended to take advantage of the Enlightenment Stone Wall at the Heavenly Sword Sect. She was thinking that if the Heavenly Sword Ancestor refused, she would use an abstract method to force him to agree.

And now... what's gotten into this Heavenly Sword Ancestor? Why is he trying to guide them to the Sword Enlightenment Stone Wall?

Chi Miao asked Feng Yan, "Do you know why he asked you to do this?"

Feng Yan: "I don't know, he just told us to lead you over there."

Ying Wuhuo: "I'm afraid there might be a trap. How should we choose?"

Yan Ge snorted coldly: "Choose my ass! Who knows what kind of nonsense he's hiding in his pants!"

Chi Miao scoffed: "Whether it's good or bad fart, you only know by smelling it."

Everyone: "..."

Although the words are rough but the reasoning is sound, your words are just too rough!

Yan Ge was also surprised by Chi Miao.

"Disciple, don't be fooled by this old man. If your master can be a spendthrift old man, is he really that kind of person?!"

Chi Miao laughed: "This Enlightenment Stone Wall is an opportunity we absolutely must obtain. Since it wants us to go, why don't we go with the flow?"

"Now that the Heavenly Pride Group and the Heavenly Sword Sect are being closely watched, what can he do to us even if he has the greatest audacity? Besides... even if he rebels against the heavens, he won't make a move against me at this critical juncture when he's about to open the Heavenly Sorrow Cave."

"Why don't we go with the flow, enter the game as the prey, and then turn the tables on him when he makes a mistake!"

"Who will be the prey is still uncertain."

Chi Miao's eyes were bright as she spoke her mind.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed, "Wow..."

"Can't understand."

It sounds impressive but I don't understand it.

Chi Miao sighed and chuckled wryly, "...You guys are really something."

Just then, Feng Yan spoke up again with a mocking tone: "I think you've got something wrong. It's not that all of you are going to the Enlightenment Stone Wall together. This Enlightenment Stone Wall... only you can enter."

Upon hearing this, Yan Ge flew into a rage: "How dare they! Are they clearly trying to harm my disciple?!"

He pulled at Feng Yan's collar, his eyes cold and wary.

The pressure from a Mahayana cultivator was utterly overwhelming for a Golden Core cultivator. Feng Yan was so frightened he almost lost his soul, and quickly said, "No... this is the Ancestor's will, it has nothing to do with us!"

"We...we are also unable to disobey the ancestor's orders."

Chi Miao quickly grasped the key words, then took two steps to be in the center of Feng Yan's field of vision: "Unable to disobey the ancestor's orders? He placed a curse on you?"

In fact, Chi Miao did not think that the flattery of the Heavenly Sword Sect disciples was entirely unfounded.

One point is worth examining closely—they wanted to break away from the Heavenly Sword Sect.

As the saying goes, people strive for higher positions, while water flows downhill.

Now that the Heavenly Sword Sect has lost its sect leader and crippled its young sect leader, and even the Protectorate City has been taken over by the Prodigy Group, it is nothing more than an empty shell.

Even with an opportunity like the "Enlightenment Stone Wall," the future is already bleak. The disciples in the sect are all talented and of good quality, and they certainly won't be willing to live and die with the Heavenly Sword Sect for the rest of their lives.

Unless they're brain-dead.

But Chi Miao felt...

It's true that the people of the Heavenly Sword Sect are brain-dead, but they also know how to forcibly abduct women, which is terrifying!

Feng Yan shook his head: "I don't know... but we've witnessed disciples who left the sect exploded and died as soon as they stepped outside the sect's boundaries!"

"Anyone who disobeys the ancestor will also die from their body exploding... all for no reason."

"We don't know why this is happening either... We want to figure it out and get out of this mess as soon as possible!"

They have the desire to steal but not the courage!

Jingming glanced at Chi Miao and said, "This does sound... like a curse."

Chi Miao: "Can you find out the source of the curse?"

All incantations have an origin, just like the hair of a person who has heard the secrets of the past.

So, this Heavenly Sword Ancestor... is quite adept at using spells!

Curses are always used with vicious means and malicious purposes, and are despised by the righteous path.

If Wenren Yin really used curses to control the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect, then... Wenren Yin and the Heavenly Sword Sect will definitely incur the wrath of the entire cultivation world!

Jingming: "I'll give it a try."

Buddhist practitioners are very sensitive to things like incantations; whether something is true or not can be easily determined with a simple investigation.

Jingming stepped forward, his prayer beads growing larger and larger, the Sanskrit characters on them emitting golden light.

The light shone on every disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and the disciples stared wide-eyed in fear as if they had seen something incredible.

A purplish-red flame appeared in their minds.

Yan Ge was immediately stunned: "This is...?!"
