True identity Baili

In such circumstances, the prestige previously established by Shangguan Yufeng and others was clearly greatly impacted.

Many people began to doubt the abilities of Shangguan Yufeng and his companions. Despite their usual arrogance in the Pill Sect, they suffered a complete defeat at the Tian Gang Sect this time!

They regretted not participating themselves, as they would have fared better!

Under these circumstances, Shangguan Yufeng and the others were unable to maintain their previous respect. They even occasionally heard sarcastic remarks around them, which made them extremely uncomfortable.

However, in the face of such results, their discomfort was futile because they had indeed lost!

Pill Sect's Council Hall.

"Elder, have you been able to ascertain the identity of Baili Hongzhuang?"

Gu Weixiong sat on the main seat with a gloomy expression. Although he claimed to be in seclusion, how could he focus on cultivation in such circumstances?

The Pill Sect was a major sect, and this time they had been thoroughly humiliated. It was truly hard for him to accept!

"Master, I have conducted the investigation."

The Elder answered Gu Weixiong, but his expression was not favorable.

"Who is this Baili Hongzhuang?"

Baili Hongzhuang had stolen the limelight in this alchemist competition. If they could recruit her, perhaps the unfavorable situation would turn around.

"Master, I found out that Baili Hongzhuang is a disciple recruited by the Tian Gang Sect for this assessment competition."

Upon hearing this, Gu Weixiong furrowed his brows, displaying surprise and confusion.

"She, an alchemist, went to participate in an assessment competition?"

The Pill Sect primarily focused on alchemists and paid little attention to cultivators' affairs.

Therefore, although Gu Weixiong was aware of the existence of the assessment competition, he usually wouldn't bother to care about it.

However, Baili Hongzhuang was clearly an exceptionally talented alchemist. She could directly participate in the alchemist assessment and enter the sect. Yet she unexpectedly went to participate in the assessment competition?

In that case, it was already a stroke of good luck for Baili Hongzhuang to survive the assessment competition.

"Master, Baili Hongzhuang is the first place winner of the assessment competition."

The Elder's expression revealed a hint of helplessness. In truth, he hadn't paid much attention to the assessment competition before, only knowing that the first place winner had gone to the Tian Gang Sect.

No one had expected that the first place winner would turn out to be Baili Hongzhuang.

Upon hearing this, Gu Weixiong couldn't help but stare blankly, suspecting that he had misheard.

"Baili Hongzhuang is the first place winner of the assessment competition? Wasn't she an alchemist?"

Gu Weixiong had never considered that Baili Hongzhuang had any other identity besides being an alchemist.

"Master, the information I received should not be mistaken. Baili Hongzhuang is indeed the first place winner of the assessment competition. Moreover, after entering the Tian Gang Sect, she has been cultivating as a cultivator in the Zhuque Palace. She is a member of the Zhuque Palace."

The Elder reported the specific information to Gu Weixiong, and he himself was initially perplexed upon receiving this news.

A sixth-rank alchemist actually stayed in the Tian Gang Sect as a cultivator. It was truly astonishing.

As the Elder's words fell, Gu Weixiong finally understood.

No wonder when Baili Hongzhuang participated in the alchemist competition, all the disciples of the Tian Gang Sect showed disbelief.

It seemed that this was not a mere deception by the Tian Gang Sect.
