250 Incomparably Obscure Justice, Unmatched Shamelessness (1/2)

”Wang Lu, you want other people to give up the trial, then what about you?”

Towards Jianglu’s question, Wang Lu was exceptionally calm in answering it, ”When you all give up the trial, I will be the winner and go deeper into the next level.”

”You’re totally f*cking shameless, aren’t you!?” Suddenly furious, Wangyue Luanyun could not help but loudly yell.

However, Wang Lu didn’t need to give an excuse because Jianglu has already given him one.

”You want to face the person who manipulates all of this behind the scene alone?”

Wang Lu said with a smile, ”Among all the people present, my cultivation base is relatively low, but my ability to cope with a complex and unknown situation exceeds all of you. So, instead of bringing a mob of people, I might as well go alone. This is also to reduce unnecessary risks for others.”

”Ha! You always find a way to be righteous!” Jianglu looked less irritated, but obviously not easy to persuade. ”However, like in your theory: things that are good for others have nothing to do with oneself, as long as there’s an opposition, then it’s good.”

”Of course, Shengjing Sect also doesn’t want to give benefit to the evil manipulator behind the scene, therefore, my suggestion is that we carry out this trial as usual by playing it by the rules. However, this should be done in accordance with the spirit and principle of fair competition. At the same time, we will accept whatever the outcome of the game.”

Wang Lu sighed. ”In short, you’re not willing to give up?”

Jianglu laughed. ”Actually, the evil manipulator behind the scene didn’t hesitate to expose its existence by trapping us in this shame gate, so even if we want to give up, it is easier said than done, wouldn’t you think? Or do you actually not have the confidence to win by the rules?”

”What a joke. Since you’re being stubborn, then bring it on.”

Actually, Wang Lu had kinda expected this choice of Shengjing Sect team. In fact, what Jianglu said was not wrong. The evil hand behind the scene had made this five gates into one move and forcibly sucked everyone into it. Clearly, it would not let anyone out without playing the game first. Expecting others not to play was easier said than done either. It was difficult to count on other teams, especially Shengjing Sect to cooperate willingly, even though Ten Thousand Arts Sect and Kunlun Immortal Sect were open to discussion. However, Shengjing Sect was determined to win, so it was very difficult to imagine them to willingly let Wang Lu go deeper into the next level without fighting it out with them first.

As a person, Wang Lu very much appreciated Jianglu. However, as an opponent, Jianglu, and his Shengjing Sect team was the most annoying type for him. Whether it was for enemy or friends, all they would give you was trouble.

At this moment, the only option for him was to play it to the end.

Just at this time, Hai Yunfan said, ”The rules came out! On the stone wall!”

Everyone immediately turned to look. On the surface of the stonewall, a row of simple handwriting slowly appeared. Compared to the complex rules of the previous trials, this rule was actually surprisingly simple!

Rules: If a person is without any sense of shame, what is the difference between that person and a beast?

Each person will have a degree of shame. Any feeling of shame will increase the degree of shame. Anyone whose degree of shame reach one hundred points fails. The last survivor will be the victor.

——

It seemed that, since the evil hand behind the scene had decided to no longer hide itself, it made the rules vague, and there were many spots that were open to judgment… However, compared to this, what was worth pondering was the rule itself. Anyone whose degree of shame reaching one hundred points fails. The last survivor would be the victor?

In other words, he needed to try to make other people ashamed? What was being ashamed? Any non-righteous act should make people ashamed, and this rule tried to force people to confront with any unethical act that they did in the past. Tsk, this rule was too simple and crude, and the plot of that evil behind the scene manipulator has become truly naked.

Just now, when he talked with Jianglu, not everything that he thought of were said out loud by him. As early as the first test, Wang Lu already has an in-depth guess about this eight virtues trial, and now, seeing the rule of the shame gate has only confirmed his judgment.

This evil hand behind the scene wanted the four teams to do all kinds of shameful performance to expose the ugly side of human nature. In fact, this was the main point of the test of this level. Why was it that many of the Shengjing Sect people managed to lose on the first gate? Because there would be many individuals who would become annoyed by failure. Even more so, because they lost to a numerically less opponent. As for the second gate, why would it let Shengjing Sect won?

On one hand, it was to maintain the balance, so that they would be willing to continue playing. If they always lose, who would want to continue to play? On the other hand, being defeated by Shengjing Sect through a shameless tactic, perhaps the negative emotion on the other three sects was much more intense than that of Shengjing Sect on the first gate.

As for the present gate, the intention was still the same. Presumably to urge the participant to attack each other, expose each other’s shortcomings, revealing the most private thing that people didn’t want others to know in order to produce strong negative emotions.

Although it was still difficult to accurately judge on the benefit of this negative emotion to that evil hand behind the scene, based on simple logic, what Wang Lu has to do was to minimize the occurrence of this negative emotion. However, things didn’t develop as smoothly as he expected...

Sure enough, while Wang Lu was still pondering, there were already some impatient cultivators who began their own attempt.

And their method was precisely the favorite kind of method of the person behind the scene.

”Hai Yunfan, you came from the mortal world royalty, so you grew up in wealth, enjoying an extravagant lifestyle. However, because of your longing for the immortal path, you cut off your ties with the mortal world, how could you be worthy of those who have high expectation of you?”

A cultivator from Shengjing Sect, with a clear and resonant voice, directly opened the first salvo at Hai Yunfan.

Towards this, Hai Yunfan slightly shook his head. How could the matters of a royal family be clearly said in just a few words? Although it was regrettable for the royal family, having a disciple in one of the Five Uniques pose a considerable advantage to the imperial power stability.

”Nevertheless, many people that I grew up with since childhood certainly felt sad for me cutting ties with them, especially mother…” Although Hai Yunfan had successfully become one of the elite disciples of the Ten Thousand Arts Sect, when he occasionally thought about it, he would still unavoidably feel guilty.

Just as Hai Yunfan went into silence, on top of his head suddenly appeared a red digit: 3

Hai Yunfan was stunned. Is this the degree of shame? Once the heart is ashamed, this number would accumulate, and when it reaches one hundred, the person will fail?

Seeing that his attempt was successful, that Shengjing Sect cultivator was immediately delighted and wanted to launch another attack at this weak spot. However, how could Hai Yunfan be passively beaten by other people? Casting that person a glance, he said, ”Senior Brother Meng Zhaojian, twenty years ago, you abandoned your wife at Meng Family Village, what about now?”

The cultivator named Meng Zhaojian immediately turned pale. Before he stepped on the path of immortality, he was just an ordinary villager in the Meng Family Village. Later on, he wandered and obtained an immortal chance, becoming a Shengjing Sect cultivator for twenty years. After he entered the sect, he made a rapid progress. Sensing that he got a bright future ahead of him, he decided that his wife was no longer worthy of him and looked for reasons to cast her aside. In addition for his Master, few people knew about this. This time, this thing being revealed by Hai Yunfan gave him an enormous shock. When he swept his glance, he found that his fellow apprentices all gave him a skeptical eye. Meng Zhaojian felt that his cheek flushed, as if a sharp dagger stabbed his heart.

At the same time, a red number appeared on top of his head: 77! And it kept on rising.
