Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master

As a Golden Core Cultivator himself, this amount was undoubtedly too much for him.

If it were him, he would definitely not spend such a large amount of spirit stones just to buy a Golden Core Level soul.

Yet Sun Lingtong merely smiled lightly: ”I’ll buy it. This is the deposit.”

He then produced a Ghost Dao Golden Core.

The gray-robed cultivator suddenly felt a sense of awe, silently considering: ”Two Golden Cores in a row, this person is reminding me that he’s not someone to be trifled with! Do business properly, or the consequence will be like that of the Golden Core master...”

He accepted the Golden Core: ”Then I will trouble Elder Sun to wait for some time and hear the good news from our side.”

Sun Lingtong nodded: ”You must not deliberately delay. If it’s one or two months and there’s still no delivery, how will we settle accounts? After all, we’re anxious to use it.”

The gray-robed cultivator confidently smiled: ”Rest assured, Qin De has long been forgotten and has been imprisoned in Cloud Prison for so long that unexpectedly dying is very reasonable.”

”I have been doing business here for so many years, and Yu Heye knows, I’ve never cheated anyone, reputation is the first!”

”Within at most a week’s time, I can get it for you.”

Seeing the gray-robed cultivator so confident, Sun Lingtong felt a bit more assured: ”Alright, since that’s the case, let’s sign a contract.”

The gray-robed cultivator nodded without the slightest hesitation; it was his duty to do so. In this aspect, he was really confident. He’d done this type of business many times, adept at the practice.

The entrance to the Evil Slaying Hall.

Array space.

Central stone platform.

The elderly cultivator looked at Ning Zhuo with satisfaction: ”I have one last question.”

Ning Zhuo extended his hand: ”Please ask, Elder, I will speak without reservation, sincerely from the depths of my heart.”

On the Upper Dantian of his Divine Sea, the Buddha Heart Demon Seal shimmered brightly.

The elderly cultivator’s voice suddenly became heavy as if bearing immense weight, pressing down on Ning Zhuo: ”The third question: The way contends, calamity is inevitable. If one day you must forsake this body’s flesh and blood, burning up the true essence of the divine soul to sever an overwhelming demonic calamity and save countless beings from impending doom...”

”And after this act, your name, your way, every trace of your existence might be tainted by demons, misunderstood and spat upon by the world, forever falling into the endless abyss, never to recover... Will you go forth?”

Silence.

After this question, it was as if the air on the stone platform solidified.

The high-level cultivators of the Evil Slaying Hall stared at Ning Zhuo expressionlessly, not missing the slightest change in his expression.

Ning Zhuo furrowed his brow, lowered his head, staring at the stone bricks beneath his feet, deeply lost in thought.

The cultivators of the Evil Slaying Hall had hidden expectations, and as time silently passed, they gradually began to feel tense.

The three inquiries of the Evil Slaying Hall were a hidden assessment segment, targeting only the top tier of people from the first round of the Xingyun Trial.

Among the group answering, the majority had passed the first two questions, with very few able to pass the third.

Because the third question was indeed too severe.

Sacrificing oneself was already heroic, let alone bearing the eternal infamy of history?

For the human world’s righteous path, should one really sacrifice oneself to such a degree?

For what do people pursue righteousness?

”It’s alright, just speak sincerely from the heart.” The elderly cultivator, seeing Ning Zhuo not answering for a long time, couldn’t hold back and reminded softly.

He worried that Ning Zhuo would lie and be detected.

If so, Ning Zhuo would be directly and thoroughly eliminated, and henceforth, the entire Evil Slaying Hall would be permanently closed off to him with no chance of employment.

However, unbeknownst to them, Ning Zhuo wasn’t thinking about this matter but rather his situation.

Ning Zhuo already had a clear perception: ”I have the Buddha Heart Demon Seal protecting me, it won’t detect my true heart.”

”I naturally know how to answer to pass smoothly.”

”But by doing so, I would likely take the top spot.”

The top spot...

This would be the third top spot from the Xingyun Trial.

In this way, Ning Zhuo would be the first to gain qualifications, able to exchange his wooden token for a stone token before most others.
