The cold and ruthless merit rewards and deductions, heard by Meng Qi and others, were exceptionally bloody and cruel. Every stroke of merit deduction, every stroke of merit reward, would be the disappearance of a human life!

  The faction confrontation task is very dangerous!

  The darkness in front of him disappeared, and Meng Qi's ears were filled with the buzzing noise of people's voices, as if countless flies were flying around.

  As he looked around, Meng Qi found himself in the corner of a tavern's main hall, with thick beams in front of him and square tables crowded with people.

  Many of them were armed and looked like they belonged to the jianghu, but none of them noticed that there were eight more people in the corner.

  Meng Qi turned around and exchanged a glance with Jiang Zhiwei, Zhang Yuanshan, and others. They saw the same meaning in each other's eyes - the master of the six reincarnations was indeed terrifying!

  Before, Meng Qi thought that the master of the Six Paths of Reincarnation would have placed them in a deserted or unnoticed place when they descended into the world of reincarnation, so as not to be discovered. Who knew that even in the midst of a bustling city, even in the main hall of an inn, no one found it strange, and occasional glances were just the way things should be here.

  "The master of the Six Paths' power is vast and his methods far exceed our imagination. At least before achieving Buddhahood, don't make unnecessary moves." Luo Shengyi seemed to have seen through Meng Qi's thoughts, smiling as he said this, not overthinking the identity of the master of the Six Paths, but rather treating him as a god-like figure.

  "Thanks for reminding me, Brother Luo." Zhang Yuanshan replied politely.

  "Xia Dandan, has opened four apertures, skilled in using the Mandarin Duck Knife. Xia Chulian, has just opened his eye aperture, excels in lightness and agility, is good at hiding and socializing. How about you?"

  Xia Dandan and Xia Chulian seem to admire and respect Luo Shengyi very much. When he speaks, they collect their facial expressions and don't even move their eyes.

  Luo Shengyi showed him with sincerity, and Zhang Yuanshan hesitated for a moment before saying: "I have already opened the four orifices and excel in swordsmanship."

  Then he pointed at Jiang Zhiwei: "Sister Jiang has opened her fourth acumen for a long time, and is also skilled in swordsmanship, but is more adept at offense."

  Jiang Zhiwei was the second round of the task to open the ear aperture, after the Duoer Cha this round of the task and single-person task, as well as a year and a half interval in between, the nasal aperture had long been condensed, so it did not exchange for "Tian Shi Di Ting" pill breakthrough, because she vaguely grasped the key to the nasal aperture after the last single-person task, and felt that with a period of tempering, she could break through on her own.

  So Meng Qi is now guessing that she has either opened the sixth sense or is only one layer of window paper away, but they have not communicated about this and are not sure.

  "Jiang Zhiwei, four apertures, skilled in aggressive swordsmanship..." Luo Shengyi thought for a moment, "Could it be the Jiang female knight of Xijian Pavilion?"

  A young girl who hasn't even officially come down from the mountain to travel, has actually been listed on the human ranking list. Luo Shengyi can't help but pay more attention to her, earlier when introducing names, he had some guesses, and now hearing about her strength level, he is even more certain.

  Jiang Zhiwei nodded slightly: "Exactly."

  She is also equally modest and humble.

  "There's a girl named Jiang here, this task will be much simpler." Luo Shengyi changed his tone to address her more intimately.

  Jiang Zhiwei did not respond, and Zhang Yuanshan continued to introduce: "Qi Shidi has opened two orifices, his martial arts are extraordinary, his fists, lightness skills, and swordsmanship are all remarkable."

  The Hun Tian Bao Jian includes fist and foot techniques, internal power, and light body skills.

  Aligned with righteousness, Luo Shengyi, Xia Dandan and Xia Chulian were completely unaware, so they just nodded in understanding, without saying much.

  "Zhen Ding Shidi, has opened two orifices, skilled in knife techniques, with a body of hard work." Zhang Yuanshan intentionally introduced it as if it were true but not quite, roughly explaining Meng Qi's fighting style while making arrangements, and also misleading people in another direction - there is still a big difference between hard work and Jin Zhongzhao.

  Luo Shengyi and Xia Chulin took a look at Meng Qi, also just nodding in greeting. Xia Dandan, on the other hand, looked him up and down, her eyes lingering for a moment on the Red Day Town Evil Sword, after all, she was also skilled in swordsmanship.

  "Symbol sister, just opened her eyes, skilled in short sword, palm method, light work and medicine." Zhang Yuanshan introduced to here, paused for a moment, "We don't have any teammates with Qi storage period on our side, does that mean there are some in the opposing camp?"

  Lu Shengyi seems to have a lot of experience with reincarnation tasks, so Zhang Yuanshan asked this question.

  "Yes, but not much. Generally speaking, the two sides of the camp confrontation task are arranged by the master of the six reincarnations to be relatively close in strength level. Even if one side has a large gap, it can be made up for by the native forces in the reincarnation world." Luo Shengyi agreed with Zhang Yuanshan's speculation.

  Meng Qi took a light breath, which was roughly what he had thought: "It seems that this time we are arranged in the Weifu Fang, indicating that the enemy camp's strength is much higher than ours. We must go to Fengyun Zhuang as soon as possible."

  "Hmm, Little Master is right, I think so too. Chun Lin, you go and gather some information first, we'll set off later." Luo Shengyi instructed Xia Chulin.

  Xia Zhuli smiled and got up, walking to a distant table. Unbeknownst to anyone, he quickly became acquainted with the five or six people there, clinking cups together and shouting loudly, as if they had known each other for years.

  While Meng Qi and others were listening intently to Xia Chulian's news, Luo Shengyi continued: "However, the level of strength and actual combat power are two different things. Sometimes, it may turn out to be a one-sided situation."

  When it came to this, Luo Shengyi's expressionless face changed slightly, revealing a hint of gloom, but he quickly suppressed it.

  Everyone started chatting, Meng Qi worried that Luo Shengyi had some special eavesdropping skills, so he didn't try to ask Jiang Zhiwei if she had opened her nose in a low voice. After a while, Xia Chulin, who was drunk and looked even more lewd, walked back.

  "The Fengyun Villa is just outside the city." Xia Chulian's first sentence immediately put everyone at ease.

  "These are all people from the Jianghu who plan to participate in the Four Great Sects' siege of the Demon Cult, hoping to make a name for themselves and gain some benefits. There are many small schools and gangs inside, we won't be too conspicuous." Xia Chulian's second sentence reassured everyone.

  "But we're so many people and have a special relationship, it's best to pretend to be a gang member, otherwise we might get scattered and broken up." Xia Chulin said after finishing his third sentence, then picked up the teacup and took a sip.

  "Then let's temporarily form a gang, what do you think we should call it?" Luo Shengyi said with a smile.

  He speaks and acts with a kind of convincing feeling that makes people unconsciously listen to his opinions and follow his actions.

  What's in a name? I'm best at this! Meng Qi smiled mischievously and said, "Let's call it 'Power Helper'."

  Everyone's strength is still low now, so they don't take names like "Intercepting Teachings" or "Heavenly Court". As for "Green Robe Building" and "Golden Wind Fine Rain Building", they are too artistic and don't match.

  "Power Helper? With the power in one's palm, and a beauty resting on one's lap, what a great name!" Luo Shengyi joked, "Little Master of True Virtue, I wonder what origin this has?"

  "It was a story I once heard from a storyteller, about seven young men with great ambitions who wanted to control the power of the world. They formed a brotherhood, naming it after their quest for power, and vowed not to use their real names until they achieved their goal, instead referring to each other by their brotherly order, such as Li Da, Liu Wu." Meng Qi chuckled and rambled on.

  Luo Shengyi's eyes lit up: "Great heroic spirit, great ambition, great style! Li Da, Liu Wu... I really like this kind of title."

  As he spoke, he looked at Jiang Zhiwei and the others: "In the future, if everyone becomes sworn brothers, they can also make a pact like this, create a great undertaking together, and not waste their hard-won and useful lives in the martial way."

  Meng Qi and others could only respond with a smile at his familiar behavior.

  Luo Shengyi didn't get annoyed, and with a confident air, he asked Meng Qi, "Did the seven brothers achieve great things later on?"

  "Of course it's done." Meng Qi smiled in response.

  "What about the final outcome?" Luo Shengyi asked.

  "When great things are accomplished, only Li Daoliu and Wu Xing are left alive." Meng Qi didn't tell the final outcome.

  Lu Shengyi fell silent, his right hand fiddling with the wine cup. After a while, he said, "We set off for Fengyun Manor. On the way, you continue to tell me about the information you've gathered."

  Outside the city, ten miles away is the vast Wind and Cloud Manor. Along the way, Meng Qi and others learned some general knowledge from Xia Chulou's mouth, such as the four major sects being the Wind and Cloud Manor, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, the Star Plucking Tower, and the Dawn Moon Gate, and that they each have a powerful artifact that is the main reason for their status as one of the four major sects.

  All top-notch masters are either from the four major sects or the Demon Sect, and for hundreds of years, no "wild" top-notch master has been born.

  This made Meng Qi feel quite strange, and the town's divine soldiers also made him guess constantly. Of course, they must not be real divine soldiers, but perhaps they might be "precious soldiers" of a foreign landscape.

  Many servants stood at the entrance of Fengyun Manor, welcoming the heroes who came to attend the alliance meeting. When Meng Qi and others approached, a servant immediately asked politely.

  "What's the 'Power Helper'?" The servant furrowed his brow in thought after hearing Luo Shengyi's response, then smiled politely and said, "Gentlemen, our village is already fully occupied. Please temporarily reside elsewhere and come back for the Alliance Meeting."

  Lu Shengyi didn't say a word, his right hand rose, clenched into a fist and lightly tapped on the stone lion at the door.

  Bang bang bang, the stone lion suddenly turned into a pile of rubble, and people passing by stared with wide eyes.

  The servant was both startled and frightened, looking up and down at Meng Qi and his party for a long time before saying: "Good sirs, please come in and have some tea. I'll go inform the master of the manor."

  After entering the Zhuangzi, Luo Shengyi said to Meng Qi and others: "If we don't show some real strength, we won't get attention. Our side is relatively weak, so we need to contact the high-level leaders of the four major sects as soon as possible."

  "We also think so." Zhang Yuanshan replied politely.

  Meng Qi and Jiang Zhiwei, as well as Qi Zhengyan, exchanged a glance, immediately understanding that the other had similar thoughts. Luo Shengyi's decision and handling were not wrong, but he completely did not consult with them, acting first and reporting later, slightly overbearing.

  …………

  In a flower hall, several people were drinking tea and waiting for the master's summons.

  "Boss, I'll take a stroll around the neighborhood and gather some information." Xia Chul said cautiously.

  After getting Luo Shengyi's consent, he smiled and went out, he was a restless person.

  After a moment, a servant came forward and said respectfully: "Several noble guests, the host invites you to meet in the study."

  "Alright." Luo Shengyi stood up and said, then muttered to himself in confusion, "Why hasn't Chi Lin returned yet?"

  The words had barely fallen when several people's minds echoed with the voice of the Lord of the Six Paths:

  "In early summer, those who were killed by the demonic cult's reincarnators will each have 100 good deeds deducted."

  What? Meng Qi and others were a bit stunned and shocked, because they didn't expect the enemy to come so quickly! And it was in Fengyun Villa that they directly took action!

  Danger has begun!

  Xia Dandan's face changed greatly, and she rushed out with a dark face. Jiang Zhiwei, Meng Qi, and others did not dare to delay, and they quickly followed up. The servants were extremely puzzled and called the guards to chase after them.

  After inquiring for a while, Xia Dandan finally found out where Xia Chulian was last seen, which was a hotel room.

  She pushed open the door and stepped inside, suddenly letting out a cry of surprise and subconsciously taking a step back.

  Meng Qi looked over and saw that Xia Chulian and an old man had fallen to the ground at the same time, their faces calm and joyful, as if they had obtained liberation. However, the skin below their heads was all yellow and shriveled up, resembling a dry corpse.

  "Mute Finger..." Meng Qi muttered in shock.
