Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 478 - 283: The Opportunity to Complete the Task_3

The cyan-robed swordsman silently watched the crowd speaking, glanced at Lu Yu, and asked, "How did you know that side was the core?"

The person laughed and said, "Didn't you tell me? Previously, when we asked which way to go, you led us in this direction."

Upon hearing this, the others felt something was vaguely amiss. Although what he said seemed correct, something just didn't feel right.

So, no one spoke, and they quietly observed the man, the cyan-robed swordsman, and Lu Yu.

"I never said that side was the core, and after leaving the incubation room, it's always been you leading the way," said the cyan-robed swordsman.

When the others heard this, they recalled that the cyan-robed swordsman indeed did not say this path led to the core.

When someone asked, he only said to go this way, but he didn't mention that it would lead to the core. It was just that everyone then thought that was what he meant.

The suggestion to cause a stir in the demon's den, draw out the monster, and follow its trail to find the core was also the cyan-robed swordsman's idea, so everyone naturally assumed he had a way to locate the core.

Everyone fell into habitual thinking, which is why they subconsciously believed the direction given by the cyan-robed swordsman led to the core.

"What do you mean?" The young Qi Sea stage cultivator who previously claimed there were 14 people leaving the digestive pool looked at Lu Yu and the cyan-robed swordsman and asked.

The cyan-robed swordsman's sword silently flew out from his back, and Lu Yu silently threw out the Celestial Falling Bright Flame he'd been rubbing for a long time.

Shua~ Boom!

In an instant, the attacks from both of them enveloped the person leading in front.

"Ji~~~" An extremely piercing sound echoed, and everyone rushed to block their ears with spiritual power to shut out the sound.

But this shrill sound seemed to transmit directly into their minds, making the spiritual power over their ears completely ineffective.

"Roar~" A tiger's roar sounded, as Lu Yu let out an angry shout, with a tiger's head faintly appearing behind him.

The sound abruptly ceased.

Crackle~ The person, whose throat was pierced three inches below by the cyan-robed swordsman, crackled as the Celestial Falling Bright Flame burned him, and a wisp of black qi floated out from the golden flame.

It didn't float far before being incinerated by the golden tongues of fire.

Seeing the black mist, the bald man exclaimed in shock and anger, "A monster? When did it infiltrate our group?"

After saying this, he cautiously scanned the others, retreated towards the cyan-robed swordsman and Lu Yu, and asked, "Are there any other monsters among us?"

"There shouldn't be," Lu Yu replied.

The bald man breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good."

The cyan-robed swordsman said, "You're getting so close to me, what if I'm also a demon?"

The bald man's body froze, he rubbed his bald head, and laughed heartily, "No way... If you were a demon, there'd be no need to expose him; you'd help your companion hide instead."

"What if I had him cooperate with me to gain your trust?" the cyan-robed swordsman continued.

The bald man's smile stiffened, his expression becoming serious, and he said, "That's certainly possible."

Lu Yu spoke, "Stop suspecting each other, we should unite at a time like this. Here's what we'll do: everyone reveal their talismans for warding off evil. If someone's a disguised demon, the talisman will burn faster than others'.

"Good idea," praised the bald man, "I'll go first."

He placed the talisman on his arm, and it burned slowly due to the demonic qi filling the demon's den, not because the bald man was a disguised demon.

The others followed suit, confirming there were no disguised demons among them.

The young man looked at Lu Yu and asked, "How did you figure out he was a monster?"

Lu Yu said, "Just now, despite screams ringing out, he was able to cover it up, and he always directed our attention, stopping us from thinking about anything else."

"But that alone doesn't prove he was a disguised monster," someone said. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Lu Yu replied, "After leaving the incubation room, he's been leading the way and not encountering a single demon. Don't you find that incredible?"

As he said this, others recalled the situation and found it indeed strange; they hadn't encountered a single demon along the way.

If the person was a demon planning to lead them to a dangerous place to ambush them, it's true they wouldn't encounter roadblocking demons.

"Most importantly, I have a treasure that can identify demons," Lu Yu said.

On hearing this, everyone felt speechless, realizing that was the crucial point.

However, the Demon-Breaking Saber wasn't as capable as people imagined; it couldn't directly tell Lu Yu who was a disguised demon, only sensing a demon's presence nearby without showing the exact location.

Lu Yu walked a distance, realizing the demon always followed him, leading him to suspect someone was disguised as a demon within their group, which prevented him from finding the demon that had stalked him all along.

He saw the talismans from the cyan-robed swordsman and himself burn normally.

The bald man laughed heartily as he approached, saying, "I knew you were bluffing."

Suddenly, the bald man's expression froze as he noticed that the closer he got to the cyan-robed swordsman, the faster his talisman burned.
