Chapter 186: Chapter 185: I, Demon Cultivator Mo Yan, Am Destined for Worldwide Fame

The controller was soon found. It really was an infrared system.

Then it was time for Yang Mu’s specialty. In just a moment, all the infrared beams vanished.

The hidden Holy Land Disciples were completely dumbfounded.

’Where did these people come from?’

’Cultivators who know this much about high-tech?’

’Are they even cultivators anymore?’

They were the most brutish people the disciples had ever seen. ’Why not just power through it?’

’They had to make it so *everyone* could get past.’

In reality, this layer of infrared was just a way to weed people out. The entrance to the third floor used an Array, while the infrared was just the hardware. It was impossible to block without being at least Tier Two. As long as they knew when to retreat, even Tier One cultivators would only suffer minor injuries.

But for them to just dismantle it... that really put the Holy Land in an awkward position.

Besides, these people’s outfits were bizarre. And who was this Demon Cultivator Mo Yan?

Jiang Zuo glanced in the direction where the Holy Land Disciples were hiding but said nothing, heading straight off to find the entrance to the fourth floor.

Jiang Zuo didn’t care how the fourth-floor entrance had disappeared or moved. He had seen it before, so finding it again would be quite simple.

Jiang Zuo led the way, with Chi Xue Child and the others following close behind.

Before long, Jiang Zuo found the entrance to the fourth floor.

There were still quite a few people in front of the entrance, most of whom were at Tier Two Peak or Tier Three. However, none of them went up immediately.

This was because people were constantly being thrown out of the entrance.

And you only had one chance to enter.

Jiang Zuo looked at a stone stele that had appeared at the fourth-floor entrance.

The rules for entry were carved on it:

One chance only. Those with the ability may ascend.

That was the only sentence on it. Furthermore, there were no Holy Land Disciples on this floor.

"That’s it? Isn’t that explanation a bit too simple?" Demon Cultivator Mo Yan asked, looking at the stele.

The arrival of Jiang Zuo’s group naturally drew a lot of attention, and the name Demon Cultivator Mo Yan once again made the rounds.

Everyone felt that once the sacrificial ceremony was over, Mo Yan was going to be famous.

As for what *kind* of fame, no one knew. It was hard to say whether she’d be renowned for her might or as a running joke.

Jiang Zuo said calmly, "Let’s not waste time. We’re going straight up."

With that, Jiang Zuo stepped directly into the entrance leading to the fourth floor.

Everyone watched, eager to see all twelve of them get thrown out.

’The "Twelve Fishing Masters," "millions of fish heed the call"...’

’It’s all so cringey.’

’Cultivators this cringey must be idiots.’

However, they waited for a long time, but not a single person was thrown out.

Just then, someone said, "It seems... they really are pretty incredible."

Everyone: "..."

The entrance to the fourth floor couldn’t have been simpler. It was just a test of one’s escape Skills.

For Jiang Zuo, this was as easy as it gets.

He led everyone straight up to the fourth floor.

The Holy Land Disciples in the passageway were also completely dumbfounded. The group had passed through too easily—so easily that it made them question their own reality.

They hadn’t blocked a single attack, dodging every last one of them flawlessly.

"Suddenly, dodging attacks seems really simple," one of the Holy Land Disciples said.

"You go try it then," the disciple next to him retorted irritably.

"No thanks. But who are these people? They’re pretty arrogant. Ask the fifth-floor entrance to see if they made it up."

"The people on the second floor already asked. Looks like this group is getting a lot of attention."

"How could they not? ’The Twelve Fishing Masters by the Lake,’ ’millions of Eight Trigrams Colored Fish will come’... forget that. ’Mortals, tremble!’ How arrogant can you get? Aren’t they afraid of being beaten to death?"

"Get someone to follow them. I’d like to see just how these people plan to ’fish’ the Holy Land and make ’millions of fish’ appear."

It wasn’t just the Holy Land; the other cultivators who came to fish also began contacting their own people. They also wanted to know if this unbelievably arrogant group was actually the real deal.

Especially that profile picture of Demon Cultivator Mo Yan—it was a blatant taunt to everyone. An androgynous avatar... it was mocking the men for being effeminate and the women for not even being as pretty as a man. ’Such a devious plot, so much hidden meaning!’ (This was all their own over-interpretation).

They even started to think that Demon Cultivator Mo Yan was actually the victim in all of this.

The whole thing was deliberately meant to disgrace Demon Cultivators. If it were only targeting Mo Yan, there would have been no need to add "Demon Cultivator" to her name.

Adding "Demon Cultivator" was a jab at *all* Demon Cultivators. (This was still just their over-interpretation).

******

Jiang Zuo and his group were oblivious to what others were thinking. They had now arrived on the fourth floor.

The entrance from the fourth to the fifth floor was on the opposite side of a lake.

And by the lakeshore, a large crowd had gathered.

Crossing over would mean broadcasting their presence, and doing so in a very high-profile way.

They would be so conspicuous it would make your eyes hurt.

However, Chi Xue Child and the others had never really experienced a scene this big. Only Jiang Zuo was completely unfazed.

’Is this a big crowd?’

To him, it was pitifully small.

Demon Cultivator Mo Yan said, "Can I ever get my fearsome reputation back?"

That cutesy girl profile picture was like a brand seared onto her identity as Demon Cultivator Mo Yan.

In the future, whenever people mentioned Demon Cultivator Mo Yan, they would probably think of *that*.

This made her even more miserable.

Mo Yan shook her head and sighed. "I’m more famous, but it’s the wrong kind of image."

"You’re still worried about that? Didn’t you see how many people are pissed off at us?" Liu Yiyi said irritably.

She didn’t know what had possessed her to go along with this nonsense.

It felt like she had a death wish.

Demon Cultivator Mo Yan puffed out her chest. "Don’t be afraid. If anything happens, we’ve got Chi Xue Child and Blade Master Hai Bian to act as shields. We can just retreat depending on the situation."

Chi Xue Child: "..." ’What sin did I commit to deserve this?’

’I never should have brought Mo Yan back with me.’

Blade Master Hai Bian said, "Why am I included in this? You and Chi Xue Child are ’family.’ I’m an outsider, so I’ll stay out of it."

Mo Yan was about to retort, but just then, Jiang Zuo suddenly stopped.

When Jiang Zuo stopped, everyone else naturally stopped as well.

Chi Xue Child asked curiously, "Fellow Daoist Po Xiao, what is it?"

Jiang Zuo turned to look at the lakeshore and said, "This place is perfect for fishing. We’re not going to the fifth floor. We’ll fish here first."

Everyone was stunned. The fourth floor was actually packed with people—it might even have the largest population of the third, fourth, and fifth floors combined.

It would be much better to fish on the fifth floor, where there would be far fewer people.

But since Jiang Zuo had made the decision, they had no reason to back down.

Among them, Chu Qing had the best composure. She wasn’t worried about anything. The only thing on her mind was when she could get back to blacksmithing, as she had been having some new insights lately.

So, after Jiang Zuo sat down, Chu Qing pulled Xiao Xiaomo along and sat down beside him as well.

Seeing that things had come to this, Chi Xue Child and the others began to sit down, centering themselves around Jiang Zuo.

The arrival of Jiang Zuo and his group made everyone turn to look. When they saw who it was, every single one of them frowned.

It was mainly because of that line, ’Mortals, tremble!’

It had really left an impression.

Then, Jiang Zuo took out the Broken Bridge Fishing Rod. He was going to start fishing for the Yin Yang Fish. Chi Xue Child and the others also began to fish.

"It is time to shock the world! I, Demon Cultivator Mo Yan, am destined for worldwide fame!" Mo Yan declared heroically.
