No hope for eternal life

Chapter 206: A Visitor from the You Clan

At this time, there was only one person on the top of the mountain, Mu Xun, who seemed to have reached the top earlier than Mu Changsheng. But at the same time, Mu Xun's eyes were fixed on Mu Changsheng.

Seeing this, Mu Changsheng also stared back, because he suspected that the Mu Xun in front of him might be fake.

Mu Xun also had the same doubt and asked, "How many spirit stones did I spend to buy the black bead in my hand?"

"Five thousand medium-grade spirit stones." Mu Changsheng replied, and the doubts in his heart temporarily disappeared.

Mu Xun nodded slightly and began to discuss the mountain climbing assessment: "This first round of assessment seems to be wrong. I met a fake you in the illusion, and I had to kill the fake you to break the illusion."

"Me too." Mu Changsheng replied. He really couldn't figure out why Lingshan Sect made such arrangements.

Mu Xun and the other person discussed it over and over again, but they couldn't come up with a convincing conclusion.

Chen Qun and Yang Wuque reached the summit one after another during this period of time.

After asking questions, Mu Changsheng roughly confirmed that the two were not dummies, but it was only roughly confirmed because this mountain climbing assessment was really a bit weird and confusing.

Yang Wuque gave his own opinion: "The first assessment should really be over. The reason why something is not right is probably related to the second assessment."

"Yeah." Mu Changsheng nodded in agreement. The second test was the key point, and it was also life-threatening. However, the information he had obtained so far was not enough for him to guess the content of the second test.

After a while, the fifth climber appeared.

Not long after that, Yang Wuque said, "Half an hour has passed."

As soon as Yang Wuque finished speaking, five figures descended from the sky and landed in front of Mu Changsheng and the other four.

"Is it them?" Mu Changsheng was slightly surprised, because he knew four of the five people, namely the third outer sect disciple Xiao Jingshan, and the three Lingshan Sect disciples who supported the Shenhu City in the past. Mu Changsheng only knew that the leader was Lingshan Sect's inner sect disciple You Poling, and You Poling could be said to be his life-saver.

You Po Ling, the leader of the five people from Lingshan Sect, said, "Half an hour has passed. The five of you have passed the first test, but the second test can only start after ten people are gathered. So I need to trouble the five of you to wait here for a while until the next batch of test cultivators reach the top and gather ten people."

"Understood." Mu Changsheng and the other four clasped their fists and saluted. They had already come this far, so there was no need to waste a little more time.

You Poling continued: "In addition, according to the rules, all five of you need to report your names and addresses."

"Mu Changsheng, Shenfeng Kingdom, Nansha County, Qihua County, Qingliu Town." Mu Changsheng, Mu Xun and Yang Wuque reported the same place name one after another.

You Poling was a little surprised when he heard this. After all, it was a bit surprising that three monks who passed the first test appeared in a small town at the same time.

Xiao Jingshan, who was behind You Poling, was not surprised by this. He had already had a deep impression of Mu Changsheng and Mu Xun.

Afterwards, Chen Qun and another monk named Si Deng also reported their addresses one after another: "Shennan Country, Hanshan County." "Wang Family, Liuquan Region."

You Poling nodded slightly, said no more, and led the four Lingshan Sect disciples behind him and flew away.

After the five of them flew to a certain height, You Po Ling said to Xiao Jingshan behind him: "Among the five of them, three are from the Kamikaze Country. Junior Brother Xiao is quite familiar with the Kamikaze Country, so I'll trouble you to make a trip and investigate the backgrounds of those three people."

"No problem. It's a good opportunity for me to get to know my new junior brother in advance." Xiao Jingshan said with a smile. He seemed very optimistic about Mu Changsheng and the other two. He felt that they had a good chance of passing the second test, so he called them junior brothers in advance.

The red-dressed woman among the five people said noncommittally: "Every time the second test starts, it's good if one person can pass. If multiple people pass at the same time, the hope is slim."

Xiao Jingshan didn't want to argue any more, so he just smiled and said, "Let's wait and see."

You Poling continued to make arrangements and said, "Leave Si Deng of the Wang family to Junior Brother Wang to investigate. As for Chen Qun from Shennan Country, Junior Sister Xia will go and find out. Now that Shennan Country has become the territory of the demon race, we will start with the survivors of Hanshan County in Shennan Country to see if there is anyone who knows Chen Qun."

"Yes, sir." The two said in unison. They were the two who followed You Poling to support the Shenhu Kingdom that day.

……

Two days later, Mu Changsheng and his five companions finally waited for the second group of people to reach the summit. However, the first person to reach the summit was Ji Leyao, whom Mu Changsheng and his three companions knew.

"Greetings to Senior Yang and the two gentlemen." Ji Leyao said with a smile and bowed.

Yang Wuque nodded, somewhat surprised by Ji Leyao's arrival, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Mu Changsheng and Mu Xun also had the same question. With Ji Leyao's identity, she didn't need to risk her life to take part in the Lingshan Sect's entrance examination.

Ji Leyao explained, "There have always been rumors in the Nine Realms that there are many conflicts between the two sects and three clans. Especially after the demon clan started the rebellion, these rumors have become even more rampant. Our clan leader specifically recruited clan members to enter the two major sects to study and dispel the rumors. I came here voluntarily. In addition to our Ji clan, there are also people from the You clan."

"You're thoughtful." Yang Wuque praised. No matter what the relationship between the two sects and three clans was, just having this desire for peace was already quite rare.

Afterwards, another person climbed to the top of the mountain. He was a handsome man in black clothes.

Ji Leyao was delighted when she saw this, and quickly introduced him to Mu Changsheng and the other two: "This is my cousin Ji Huanan."

Then, Ji Leyao introduced Mu Changsheng and the other two to Ji Huanan: "These three are Senior Yang Wuque, and Young Masters Mu Changsheng and Mu Xun. They all helped me a lot when the demons besieged the city."

Upon hearing this, Ji Huanan solemnly clasped his fists and greeted Mu Changsheng and the other two, saying, "Hello, all of you. I would also like to thank you for taking care of my sister in the past."

"It's my pleasure." Mu Changsheng and the other two returned the greetings one by one. Ji Leyao and the other two came from prominent families and were so polite, which made people feel very good about them.

As he was talking, another man in black came up to the top. Ji Leyao continued to introduce him, "This is the direct descendant of the You clan, You Huangsheng."

Afterwards, Ji Leyao introduced Mu Changsheng and the other two to You Huangsheng.

Unexpectedly, after listening to the introduction, You Huangsheng showed a look of disgust and said immediately: "Ji Leyao, Ji Huanan, we are all people of status, stay away from these lowly people. If you ask me, they will only help you because of your status as a member of the Ji clan. Those two guys with the surname Mu are probably racking their brains to think of how to trick you into their hands."

Mu Changsheng and Mu Xun were both furious when they heard this. Ji Huan's politeness made people feel good about him, but You Huangsheng was at the other extreme and made people feel disgusted.

Yang Wuque had a blank expression on his face and stopped Mu Changsheng and the other man who wanted to debate.

Ji Leyao frowned upon hearing this, feeling that You Huangsheng was too rude, and quickly apologized to Mu Changsheng and the others: "I didn't know this person was so outspoken, please forgive me."

Ji Huanan argued with You Huangsheng and said, "Brother You, what you said is a big mistake. We are all human beings, so how can we be superior or inferior? Besides, one of the tenets of the Tianling Sect is to learn from the heaven and earth. The word heaven and earth includes all living beings in the world. All living beings are our role models. How can we look down on others like this?"

You Huangsheng crossed his arms over his chest, not caring about the debate at all. He spat and said, "What a bullshit, learning from the heaven and earth, it sounds better than singing, but in the end, whoever is stronger has the final say."

At the same time, at the Lingshan Sect's main peak, the law enforcement elder Gao Chong came to meet the Sect Master Xiao Niansheng and asked for instructions, "The three major families have all sent people to take the entrance examination this time, and one of them is the adopted son of Yi Qianhuan and Mo Lianyue. If he really dies in the examination, it will be a bit embarrassing. Should we appropriately lower the examination requirements for those people and at least save their lives?"
