No hope for eternal life

Mu Changsheng immediately rejected his idea: "No, no, what if the leaders of the bandits are not on the mountain? Wouldn't it be useless for me to do this?"

After careful consideration, Mu Changsheng finally thought of a safer method and immediately strode towards the bandits' lair.

When he arrived at the gate of the mountain stronghold, two bandits guarding the gate immediately rushed out and surrounded Mu Changsheng from the front and the back.

The bandit who stood in front of Mu Changsheng held a broadsword in his hand and said fiercely, "Good boy, you are just a mere Qi Refining Realm cultivator and you dare to break into our village. Tell me, what do you do?"

If Mu Changsheng's cultivation level had not been so low that it was a bit weird, these two bandits would have chosen to take action directly.

"Ahem!" Mu Changsheng cleared his throat and said in a pretentious manner: "I am here for an important mission. You are not qualified to know. Call your village leader. I want to talk to him face to face."

Because Mu Changsheng's appearance was indeed a bit strange, the two bandits were really intimidated by Mu Changsheng, but they did not dare to disturb the boss of the mountain stronghold easily.

The two bandits exchanged glances for a while and soon came up with an idea. They decided to test Mu Changsheng first.

So, the bandit behind Mu Changsheng suddenly made a move, and slapped out with one palm. A magical fireball quickly condensed from his palm and attacked Mu Changsheng's back.

Mu Changsheng felt the heat from the fireball behind him, and he guessed without looking back that someone had taken action. Although he knew he had the Qingshen Talisman to protect him, his heart was still in his throat. After all, it was his first time experiencing such a situation.

Just as the fireball was about to hit Mu Changsheng's back, a layer of green light suddenly flashed around Mu Changsheng. The fireball hit the green light and was instantly eliminated.

"Sir, you are not lying to me." Mu Changsheng sighed in his heart and was completely relieved. Although he did not know the specific grade of the Qingshen Talisman, since it could be taken out by Yang Wuque together with the Shenxiao Talisman, he thought that the grade of the defensive talisman was not much different from that of the Shenxiao Talisman. This level of defensive talisman was far beyond the ability of two gatekeeper bandits to break it. Even if the bandit leader came, it might not be possible.

"A protective magic object!" The two bandits guarding the gate were shocked. Although they could not recognize the Qingshen Talisman, they could see that Mu Changsheng had a protective magic object on him.

Seeing this, Mu Changsheng continued to intimidate and said: "Why, don't you believe me? If you delay the opportunity, be careful that your leader will hold you accountable."

"How can I not believe it?" The bandit in front of Mu Changsheng smiled and said, "Please wait a moment, I will inform the boss right away."

After saying that, the two bandits hurriedly retreated into the mountain stronghold, wanting to stay away from Mu Changsheng. If they couldn't afford to provoke him, they could only hide.

Mu Changsheng didn't care about these. He pretended to be friendly with the two bandits just to confirm whether the bandit leader was on the mountain. It would be even better if he could see him.

After a moment, a muscular man with a face full of flesh came out and said with a fierce look in his eyes: "You said you had important information for me?"

"Are you the leader here?" Mu Changsheng asked back.

The sturdy man shouted in a rough voice: "I am Han Hu, the leader of Luoyu Village, and you are a young boy. Where did you come from?"

"It was you who caused the disaster for Xu Kaizhen, right?" Mu Changsheng confirmed again.

"Haha, kid, you are not here to avenge Xu Kaizhen!" Han Hu laughed wildly. Mu Changsheng was just a mere Qi Refining Realm, and even if he had a protective treasure, he was no different from an ant in his eyes.

"It seems that you admit it." Mu Changsheng's eyes narrowed. Since he was not wrong, he was too lazy to say another word. He directly pointed the Shenxiao Talisman in his hand at Han Hu, injected spiritual power into the Shenxiao Talisman, and activated it instantly.

Han Hu didn't care at first, but when he saw the thunder coming out of the talisman paper, he suddenly felt a fatal threat from it.

At this moment, Han Hu no longer cared about why Mu Changsheng had such a high-level talisman. He only had one thought left, which was to escape, the farther the better!

Han Hu turned around and fled, using all his strength, but the Shenxiao Talisman did not give him much time to escape.

Silver lightning flashed by and caught up with Han Hu almost instantly. Han Hu was vaporized instantly, and not even a drop of blood was dropped during the process.

But this is not the end. After the silver lightning passed Han Hu, it attacked Luoyu Mountain directly. The whole mountain collapsed in an instant, and countless pieces of rubble fell like rain. Fortunately, Mu Changsheng had the Qingshen Talisman to protect his body, otherwise these pieces of rubble alone would be enough to kill him.

Mu Changsheng himself was in great shock, staring in amazement at the hundreds-foot-high Luoyu Mountain collapsing before his eyes. It was one thing to record it in a book, but seeing it with one's own eyes was another.

"No wonder Mr. Yang deliberately reminded me that when you hold a sharp weapon, you will naturally have murderous intentions." Mu Changsheng murmured.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng walked around the rubble of Luoyu Mountain and did not find a single survivor. He thought that they were all killed in the collapse just now. Even if there were some survivors, they would be hard to succeed without Han Hu as their leader. This was Mu Changsheng's plan, to get rid of the king first.

Finally, Mu Changsheng calmed down his surging emotions and changed his route to Nansha City.

In the early morning of the next day, the dusty Mu Changsheng finally arrived at Nansha City. As the main city of Nansha County, this Nansha City is much larger than the previous Qihua County, and even the flow of people has increased significantly.

After Mu Changsheng handed over the spiritual valley, he entered the city and found a guide as usual. The guide was named Hou Jun. He was thin and looked about the same age as Mu Changsheng.

"Please take me to the county magistrate's mansion." Mu Changsheng ordered. Although he still needed to buy foundation-building pills and practice notes, delivering the letter was the most important thing.

Hou Jun was stunned when he heard this, and asked uncertainly: "Sir, are you going to the County Magistrate's Mansion?"

In Hou Jun's opinion, this employer was about the same age as himself and did not dress luxuriously, so why would he go to the county magistrate's office?

"I am delivering a letter on the orders of my family elders." Mu Changsheng explained patiently. There was no harm in telling him about this matter. Even if someone with ulterior motives knew that he was delivering a letter to the county magistrate's office, they would not dare to make things difficult for him. It might also solve some unnecessary troubles.

"Sir, please follow me." Hou Jun felt respectful when he heard the words. He didn't ask any more questions and led the way directly.

Along the way, Mu Changsheng looked around and saw the prosperous scene of Nansha City.

At the same time, Mu Changsheng asked Hou Jun: "Can you tell me about the county governor?"

Hou Jun looked strange, thinking that you were delivering a letter to the county governor's mansion, so why did you ask an outsider like me about the county governor's news? However, telling the employer some news was part of their job, so Hou Jun said immediately: "My understanding of the county governor is limited to some rumors. Whether it is true or false can only be determined by you."

Mu Changsheng nodded to show his understanding and said, "I understand. Please speak."

Hou Jun then continued, "It is said that the county governor is a cultivator at the Spiritualization Realm, and he was transferred from the capital, so his family background is extraordinary."
