No hope for eternal life

"Hehehe!" The man in black let out bursts of strange laughter. Faced with the opportunity given by Mu Qunxian, his answer was obviously self-evident.

Mu Qunxian was not surprised by this. The Lingshan Sect was in charge of the Tianshuang Realm, which was extremely dangerous for these demon cultivators. Therefore, these demon cultivators who dared to come to this world had already prepared for death. It was not an exaggeration to call them death warriors. He was just trying to persuade them to surrender as usual and did not really expect to get anything out of them.

On the other side, the man in black was ready to die, but suddenly he thought of something and said to Mu Qunxian sarcastically: "If I were you, I would definitely not show up like this, but follow you all the way. In that case, you might very well destroy a secret base of our demon clan. As for now, everything is too late."

Even when he was about to die, the man in black still wanted to mock Mu Qun first.

Mu Qunxian was not angry when he heard this, but asked: "Then do you know why I didn't do that?"

"Because I don't care." Mu Qun first asked himself and answered: "On the contrary, I am looking forward to you demon cultivators occasionally showing up. It can be regarded as a warning to the human race, so that the human race will not be trapped in internal strife all day long."

The man in black was stunned at first, not expecting such an answer. He then burst into laughter and said sarcastically again: "Haha, you are so arrogant. However, with your cultivation, you are indeed qualified to say such arrogant words. But one day, you and your race will pay the price for your arrogance!"

Mu Qunxian had a blank expression on his face, not moved at all, and said calmly: "It seems that your last words have been completely said."

Then, without waiting for the black-clothed man to answer, Mu Qun lightly pointed his finger and a flame burst out from his fingertips.

The flames instantly spread from the black-clothed man's arm to his entire body. The next moment, the black-clothed man's body and soul were burned to nothingness. He didn't even have time to let out a scream.

……

In the east of Nansha City, Mu Changsheng was continuing his journey to the county examination site.

Along the way, Mu Changsheng encountered several corpses. Some of the corpses were beyond recognition, and some of the corpses were even left with only broken limbs. These corpses were naturally the cultivators from Qihua County who were originally going to take part in the county examination.

In response, Mu Changsheng used storage bags to collect each body.

"Hmm?" Mu Changsheng's face changed. He found another corpse, and that corpse looked very familiar to him. He called out with a mixture of joy and worry: "Brother Bai."

Mu Changsheng discovered that Bai Xuanyu's body was better than any of his previous corpses, which gave him hope that perhaps Bai Xuanyu could still be saved.

Mu Changsheng quickly ran to Bai Xuanyu's side and used his finger to probe the tip of Bai Xuanyu's nose to feel the air, but the result was extremely cold. Bai Xuanyu was already dead!

Bai Xuanyu was dead, and the folding fan he often used was scattered next to his body, but the fan had been broken into several pieces.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng silently put Bai Xuanyu's body into the storage bag. He remembered that the two of them were still chatting not long ago, but now they were separated by the Yin and Yang. The impact of this death was far more shocking than the many corpses he encountered in Xukai Town before.

Finally, Mu Changsheng collected two more bodies on the road before he finally arrived at the county examination site.

The so-called county examination site is actually a large open area surrounded by fences.

"Who are you?" Two monks dressed as soldiers stopped Mu Changsheng. Because of the attack by the demon monks, martial law had been imposed here.

"I am a cultivator who came from Qihua County to take part in the county examination." Mu Changsheng showed his county examination token.

"We are from Qihua County." The two soldiers looked at each other and then let him go, saying, "You are lucky to be alive. Go in."

As soon as Mu Changsheng entered the enclosure, he heard someone calling him: "Mu Changsheng, you are still alive, it's really great."

Mu Changsheng looked in the direction of the voice and saw Gao Xuanfei running over, with Mu Xun and Song Zhi beside him.

Mu Changsheng was not surprised at all that Mu Xun survived, but what he didn't expect was that Song Zhi also survived.

"It's a blessing in disguise." Mu Changsheng sighed in his heart. He guessed that Song Zhi might have something to save her life, but this was someone else's private matter, so he didn't intend to ask more.

After meeting Gao Xuan, Mu Changsheng handed over several storage bags containing corpses to Gao Xuan and said with a heavy face: "These are the corpses I collected on the way here."

Although Mu Changsheng was extremely disgusted with Gao Xuan's behavior of deserting the battlefield, he could understand it a little under the circumstances.

Gao Xuan was a little embarrassed to see Mu Changsheng, so he took the storage bag and said, "Thank you for your kindness. Don't worry, I will deal with these bodies properly."

"Out of the twenty people in Qihua County, are we the only three who survived?" Mu Changsheng asked.

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene fell into silence, and the answer was self-evident.

"Alas." Gao Xuan sighed and said, "We were the first to be attacked. You three are lucky to be alive. In comparison, Guiyang County is even worse off. Their top Foundation Establishment Realm and top Golden Core Realm masters are both dead."

"Is Huang Cheng dead too?" Mu Changsheng sighed lightly. He had a deep impression of the number one foundation-building contestant in Guiyang County. Huang Cheng was also a strong contender for the first place in this year's county examination for foundation-building. If it were normal, he would be overwhelmed with joy at the loss of a powerful opponent. But now, because all this was caused by the demon clan, he couldn't muster the slightest interest.

Then, Gao Xuan said, "It's safe here. You can stay here and wait for the county exam to begin. I still have some things to deal with."

Of the twenty martial arts test takers in Qihua County, only Mu Changsheng and three others were left dead, so Gao Xuan naturally couldn't sit still.

After Gao Xuan left, Mu Changsheng and Mu Xun looked at each other and nodded slightly, understanding each other tacitly. If it weren't for Yang Wuque's protective talisman, they would probably have died.

Song Zhi's face was somewhat gloomy. It was beyond her expectation that Mu Changsheng and Mu Xun survived the attack. But this also made Song Zhi realize that Mu Changsheng and Mu Xun both had life-saving items on them, so she had to plan carefully before taking action again in the future.

Then, Song Zhi took the initiative to say with a harmless look on his face: "Those monsters are really crazy. They actually dared to attack us."

"Who said it wasn't? I've never heard of a demon attack before." Mu Changsheng sighed, "I feel that this sudden attack by the demon cultivators may not be as simple as it seems. It seems that there is a storm coming."
