Cultivating To Immortality

Fang Hong still didn't dare to take the Wang Family lightly, after all, the Wang Family was a large Family with a Golden Immortal Rank expert overseeing it, so he still needed to be wary.

After a moment of thought, Fang Hong simply transferred Wang Hu's Karma to the two burly men and the twin sisters.

By pinning Wang Hu's death on four dead people, it would be very difficult for others to suspect him.

Sure enough, after absorbing Wang Hu's Karma, the rankings on those four identity tokens quickly changed, with each person's ranking rising by more than ten places.

As for Wang Hu's identity token, because it lost all its Karma, its ranking directly dropped out of the top one hundred, and eventually even completely disappeared from the list.

This sudden turn of events stunned all the disciples who were checking the list.

Wang Hu, who had firmly held the second position on the list, had actually disappeared, along with his Karma.

According to the rules of the Demon Suppression Hall assessment, there were only two situations that would cause a name to disappear from the list: either the identity token was stolen by someone else, or the person was killed.

Neither situation was good news for the Wang Family, especially the latter, which almost meant that Wang Hu was in grave danger.

The news quickly spread to every corner of the Demon Suppression Hall.

The Cultivators who were originally hunting demonic beasts stopped their actions, their faces filled with incredulous astonishment.

Who was so bold as to dare to lay hands on the Young Master of the Wang Family?

The Wang Family was a quite influential Family in Ascension City, and as the Family Head's son, Wang Hu was usually someone no one dared to provoke. It was truly surprising that someone would dare to oppose the Wang Family now.

Those Wang Family disciples who were also participating in the assessment were even more terrified, their faces turning pale.

How could their Young Lord be in trouble?

The Young Lord's cultivation was considered top-tier among the assessors, and he also had several Immortal Artifacts bestowed by the Family Head. How could he suddenly be killed?

Could he have encountered a group of Golden Immortal demonic beasts?

After a brief shock, everyone's eyes simultaneously turned to Fang Hong's Karma, who was in the first place on the list.

To have the strength to kill Wang Hu, who was firmly in second place, throughout the entire assessment, perhaps only Fang Hong, who was currently at the top of the list, could do it.

After all, Fang Hong's Karma had always been far ahead, so his strength must not be underestimated.

However, everyone stared at Fang Hong's name for a long time, but still didn't see any signs of a drastic change in Fang Hong's Karma.

According to the assessment rules, if one killed another cultivator, they could transfer the other party's Karma, but Fang Hong's Karma remained motionless.

At this point, everyone was puzzled. Could it be that someone else killed Wang Hu? But besides Fang Hong, who else had this ability?

"Wang Hu was actually killed?"

"Could it be that Fang Hong? No, it shouldn't be him."

At this moment, in a corner deep within the Yin Demon Forest, Lin Xiang, who was hiding behind a thick ancient tree to recover her Immortal Qi, inadvertently glanced at the list.

When she saw Wang Hu's name disappear, her eyes instantly widened, revealing a look of disbelief.

Lin Xiang's first suspicion was Fang Hong, after all, among the assessors, only Fang Hong's ranking was above Wang Hu.

But then she reconsidered and felt something was off. Fang Hong only had a True Immortal Seventh-layer cultivation, while Wang Hu had already reached True Immortal Perfection, a difference of three minor realms.

Moreover, Wang Hu must have had high-Rank Immortal Artifacts bestowed by his Family. How could Fang Hong possibly kill Wang Hu?

Lin Xiang frowned, pondering the matter repeatedly in her mind, but she couldn't figure out the key to it.

However, Wang Hu's disappearance did bring her an unexpected pleasant surprise.

Originally ranked third, due to Wang Hu's withdrawal, her ranking naturally rose to second place, and her Karma also moved up by one position.

Fang Hong was completely unaware of everyone' heated discussions and suspicions. He continued to wander through the Town of Death, searching for prey to kill.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, two days had gone by, and the Demon Suppression Hall assessment had completely concluded.

As a dazzling white light flashed, all the surviving assessors were enveloped by an invisible force, instantly teleported out of the Demon Suppression Hall, and returned to the East Square where they had initially gathered.

The square was already crowded with onlookers, and when they saw the assessors emerging one after another, a considerable commotion immediately erupted in the crowd.

Of the more than a thousand people who initially participated in the assessment, only over seven hundred returned safely. The remaining more than three hundred had clearly remained in the Demon Suppression Hall forever, never to emerge again.

On one side of the square, dozens of Cultivators dressed in uniform attire stood there, each with a serious and grim expression.

Leading them was a middle-aged man in gray clothes. He was tall, exuding a powerful Qi all around him, and just his presence made the surrounding air heavy.

This gray-clothed middle-aged man was none other than Wang Feng, the Head of the Wang Family, a Cultivator whose strength had reached the Golden Immortal realm, and also Wang Hu's father.

As soon as Wang Hu's name disappeared from the list outside the Demon Suppression Hall, the people of the Wang Family knew the news immediately.

After all, a synchronized and updated list was also hung outside the Demon Suppression Hall, clearly visible to everyone watching the commotion in the square.

Upon learning that his son had met with misfortune during the assessment, Wang Feng was instantly enraged and almost immediately rushed to the East Square with the Family's experts.

He had only one goal for this trip: to find the murderer who killed his son and make him pay for his crime with his blood.

Just then, the Golden Immortal Elder from the Eastern Luo Sect, dressed in a blue robe, flew into the air from the center of the square.

He first raised his hand and pressed it virtually towards the Demon Suppression Hall. The Demon Suppression Hall, which had been suspended in mid-air, instantly transformed into a streak of light and was taken into his body.

Then, the blue-robed Elder declared loudly.

"This assessment has ended. The disciples ranked in the top one hundred are to remain, and the rest may leave on their own."

Hearing the blue-robed Elder's words, those Cultivators ranked outside the top one hundred all showed disappointed expressions, let out helpless sighs, and walked to the edge of the square with regret.

Not long after, only the top one hundred assessors remained in the square.

The blue-robed Elder inspected the identity tokens of these one hundred disciples one by one.

After all the identity tokens had been inspected, the blue-robed Elder nodded with satisfaction and said to everyone.

"Very good, congratulations on successfully passing the entrance assessment. From today onwards, you are official disciples of my Eastern Luo Sect."

"It's getting late, so let's set off for the mountain gate now, so as not to delay the subsequent arrangements."

It was clear that this blue-robed Elder was very efficient in his work, not dragging his feet at all. After speaking, he prepared to turn and lead everyone away.

But just then, Wang Feng, who had been standing by, quickly stepped forward and respectfully shouted loudly to the blue-robed Elder.

"Elder, please wait. I have a request."
