If I live forever, everyone thinks I am invincible

Scared!

The death of Ku Daozi caused the Lord of the Eternal Palace to feel fear for the first time.

Although the Lord of the Eternal Palace was confident in himself, he was also well aware of Ku Daozi's strength, since he had regarded Ku Daozi as an opponent from the very beginning.

So he had been observing Kudoko's strength. Although he was unwilling to admit it, Kudoko's strength was indeed comparable to his.

However, Ku Daozi has now died at the hands of Chen Chang'an.

There was no chance to resist, no chance to struggle, not even... a chance to beg for mercy.

For Chen Chang'an, killing Ku Daozi seemed like an easy task, requiring very little effort.

"Lord, how about... we give it a try?"

"This Chen Chang'an is too abnormal, and he is very hostile towards us."

"If we really die here, whether the Eternal Palace is eliminated or not will have nothing to do with us, because... we are already dead."

"Yes, Palace Master, don't argue with Chen Chang'an, saving your life is the most important thing."

"The Eternal Ranking is rare and hard to come by, but... there's no need to risk your life for it."

The morale of the troops is low, which is something the Lord of the Eternal Palace did not want to see. The problem lies in his unconscious remark just now, which caused the people of the Eternal Palace to break down.

It's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death, especially for those who have already reached the top, who can live very well and have a long lifespan.

The Eternal Ranking can ultimately only make one person successful, but it will definitely not be them.

Why risk your life for someone else?

"Don't talk nonsense."

"This challenge list is random. Chen Chang'an has already appeared, so we shouldn't encounter him again."

"Just wait and see."

"We still have a chance."

Eternal City

Outsider Alliance

"What do we do? The alliance leader has been killed, what are we supposed to do?"

"It's over, we're all finished."

"Or, let's run away. Chen Chang'an is just too terrifying."

"Yeah, let's leave now. While they're still in the Challenge Ranking Secret Realm, let's hide far away and go back, okay?"

"That makes sense. We must leave now, we have to leave immediately."

"Everyone, wait a minute!"

Just as the outsiders' alliance was panicking and preparing to flee, Murong Wenjie suddenly stepped forward and stopped them.

"Mr. Murong, what are you waiting for?"

"The alliance leader is already dead. If we don't leave, are we just waiting for Chen Chang'an to come out and cause us trouble?"

"We're definitely going to be eliminated this time, there's no point in staying here."

"Yes, Mr. Murong, you are the smartest, you can't afford to make a mistake now."

Seeing everyone's panicked state, Murong Wenjie smiled and said, "There's no need for you all to panic. Who said we have no way out?"

"Actually, there is another path we can take."

Ok?

Is there still a road to take?

"Mr. Murong, do you have any plans?"

"Mr. Murong, if you have any ideas, please tell us quickly, don't torture us anymore."

"Mr. Murong..."

Everyone spoke up anxiously, but Murong Wenjie simply watched them quietly until they all fell silent before he finally spoke.

"We can... join the Treasure Pavilion."

Join the Treasure Pavilion?

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

“Mr. Murong, please don’t joke around. We have contacted Chen Chang’an before, and this method will not work.”

"Yes, Chen Chang'an had already rejected us back then."

"Mr. Murong, how could you have come up with such an unreliable method?"

Hearing what everyone said, Murong Wenjie smiled and said, "When we first approached Pavilion Master Chen, we wanted him to join the Outsiders Alliance, but Pavilion Master Chen naturally refused."

“But the situation is different now. We’ve joined the Qibao Pavilion, so he has no reason to refuse.”

"Moreover... during the alchemy rankings, I had contact with him and... even had a conversation with him."

Upon hearing this, everyone frowned.

Murong Wenjie actually contacted Chen Chang'an in private? And they even had a conversation?

What does he want to do?

Seeing the suspicious looks from the crowd, Murong Wenjie smiled and said, "I just wanted to test what kind of person this Pavilion Master Chen is, and also to give everyone a way out."

"From the power rankings, everyone should have been able to see just how strong the Qibao Pavilion is."

"If we do nothing, the situation we are in now will be chaotic and disorganized, just like it is now."

"It was precisely because I had thought of this that I contacted Pavilion Master Chen in advance."

"And he, in turn, gave a reply: Don't you... want to hear it?"

reply?

Chen Chang'an actually replied to Murong Wenjie?

"What...did he say?"

"He said that if I could become the leader of the Outsiders Alliance, he wouldn't mind letting the Outsiders Alliance join the Treasure Pavilion."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Murong Wenjie with even greater confusion.

Why did Chen Chang'an make Murong Wenjie the leader of the alliance?

Did the two of them make some kind of deal in private?

Nobody's a fool, but now they're willing to be the fool and join the Treasure Pavilion; there are only benefits and no drawbacks.

Consider the resources of Qibaoge. This is what they were interested in. If they joined Qibaoge, they would be one of their own. Being close to the source would give them an advantage. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

"Alliance leader!"

"I've met the leader!"

"Greetings, Alliance Leader Murong!"

These people were all shrewd and decisively pushed Murong Wenjie into the position of alliance leader.

No matter what Murong Wenjie did, they didn't care as long as it brought them benefits.

"Rest assured, everyone."

"After joining the Treasure Pavilion with me, you will definitely reap the benefits."

"Furthermore, we can continue to participate in the competition for the Eternal Ranking."

“But… in the name of the Qibao Pavilion,” Murong Wenjie said with a smile.

"The leader is wise!"

"We should have put Alliance Leader Murong in power long ago, otherwise, how could things have turned out like this?"

"That's right, only under the leadership of Alliance Leader Murong will we be on the right path."

Murong Wenjie readily accepted the flattery from everyone.

"Alright, let's wait for the challenge leaderboard to end."

"Yes!"

Everyone turned their attention back to the secret realm.

After Chen Chang'an's battle ended, the three city lords of Kongcheng and Li Yanran were all matched with opponents.

Two came from the Alliance of Outsiders, and two came from the Eternal Temple.

"Damn it, everyone has a holy weapon, how can we compete like this?"

"Is this challenge ranking system targeting us? Why are all the opponents we encounter from the Qibao Pavilion?"

"No... could we really be being targeted?"

"What? The mastermind behind this Eternal Ranking is none other than the Treasure Pavilion?"
