No hope for eternal life

Chapter 451 Huang Fan's Suspicion

Although Mu Changsheng could speak, he said nothing and silently endured the pain of his soul and body being torn apart, as well as the fear of slowly approaching death.

Who wouldn't be afraid of death? But for the sake of justice in his heart, Mu Changsheng only knew that he could not be afraid of death.

In the Tianshuang Realm, Lingshan Sect, Taoist Master An and Yang Wuque have been silently accompanying Mu Changsheng's black-clothed clone.

"The Black Demon said he was willing to let me go, but the condition was that I swear a great oath to obey him." Mu Changsheng suddenly spoke. He spoke this time because he wanted to cut off his own escape route. In this way, even if he couldn't hold on and surrendered to the Black Demon, he would never be able to gain the trust of Lingshan Sect and become the Black Demon's secret spy.

Taoist Master Xian and Yang Wuque both instantly understood Mu Changsheng's profound meaning, and became even more sad.

On the other side, Mu Changsheng's white-clothed clone has seen his parents, but did not tell them what had happened. Instead, he took his parents back to Lingshan Sect. In Lingshan Sect, they are taken care of by Taoist Master and Yang Wuque, and they can live a better life. He has already arranged his funeral.

Two days passed in Mu Changsheng's agonizing wait. Mu Changsheng could clearly feel that the Black Demon's "research" on him was nearing its end. Fortunately, he persisted and did not beg for mercy.

After the Black Demon finished his last move, he used his divine power to forcibly stitch Mu Changsheng's body and soul together, and said excitedly: "I originally thought that with your supreme destiny, your body and soul would be somewhat different, but the result is no different. Do you know what this means? This means that your uniqueness is not due to internal factors, but external factors."

Mu Changsheng had a numb expression. At this moment, he was not interested in the internal and external factors that the Black Demon mentioned. He only remembered that the Black Demon said that he would kill him after completing the research.

The Black Demon looked at Mu Changsheng's expression of wanting death and found it really interesting. He then said: "You don't really think I will kill you, do you?"

The Black Demon smiled cruelly and whispered in Mu Changsheng's ear like a devil: "I will take good care of you and won't let you die unless I can catch a second Supreme Fate Monk to replace you."

Mu Changsheng felt a chill in his heart. The feeling of having his life constantly in the hands of others was indescribable.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng was taken into a cave space by the Black Demon. The cave space was very large, and he was not the only one there. There were rows and lines of cultivators locked in cages, and Mu Changsheng was also locked in an independent cage.

"Another newcomer has arrived..." Noisy voices reached Mu Changsheng's ears. Perhaps it was because his appearance provided the only topic of conversation for the cultivators present.

Mu Changsheng meditated, concentrating and calming his mind, ignoring the shouts of others. His current situation was very bad, but it couldn't be any worse. The only thing to be thankful for was that his two clones were still free, and the Black Demon had no intention of killing him for the time being.

Mu Changsheng told Daoist Master and Yang Wuque about his true self's situation, so that they wouldn't worry any more, and then said, "No matter what, life has to go on. Sir, you should continue to cultivate your clone. Sister, you also need to take care of the entire sect, and you don't have to worry about me anymore."

"Alas." Yang Wuque let out a long sigh, speechless, but he also knew that Mu Changsheng was right, life had to go on, so he left, turning his grief and anger into motivation, and continued to practice his second clone.

Yang Wuque left, but Dao Shiyan refused to leave no matter what: "I won't leave. I will stay here with you. Besides, my presence here will not affect my ability to look after the sect."

Mu Changsheng smiled bitterly and stopped insisting. He asked Xiang Daoshi in a chatty manner: "In fact, I have never understood why you like me?"

Taoist Shi'an smiled with tears in her eyes and said, "At first I was probably just bored and wanted to play with you, but later on, I liked you more and more. You men like to say that a gentleman will always love a beautiful lady, but isn't it the same for women?"

Mu Changsheng also smiled, but after that he said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I've always been bothered by the fact that you are a formation spirit."

Wandering on the brink of life and death, Mu Changsheng came to terms with many things. So what if he was an array spirit? As long as he had affection and loyalty, he was already better than countless people in the human world.

Taoist Master Xian gently embraced Mu Changsheng and said softly: "It's okay, it's good enough to see you often."

Mu Changsheng did not reject it this time and snuggled silently in Taoist Master Nan's arms.

……

Xijian Peak is the spiritual peak where Huang Fan, the chief outer disciple of Lingshan Sect, lives. Gao Chong came here today to inform Huang Fan about Mu Changsheng and let all the disciples of the sect be more vigilant.

"Ruan Xiong is the incarnation of the Black Devil!" Huang Fan was extremely shocked after receiving this news.

After Gao Chong left, Huang Fan suddenly stood up, paced back and forth in the cave, thought for a long time, then left the cave and headed straight for Xiao Niansheng's Yinxue Peak.

At this time, Xiao Niansheng was worried about Mu Changsheng's matter and looked a little haggard. Seeing Huang Fan coming, she asked in surprise: "Are you okay?"

"Disciple has something to report to the Sect Master." Huang Fan clasped his fists and said, "It's about Junior Brother Mu being abducted by the Black Demon. Ruan Xiong was originally a disciple of the Tianling Sect, but now it has been confirmed that he is the incarnation of the Black Demon. Disciple is wondering, is there also an incarnation of the Black Demon hiding in our Lingshan Sect?"

Xiao Niansheng's eyes narrowed, and then he asked Huang Fan: "So you say that, but you already have a suspect?"

"Yes." Huang Fan said firmly: "I seriously suspect Junior Brother Xiao Jingshan."

"Xiao Jingshan." All kinds of things about Xiao Jingshan flashed through Xiao Niansheng's mind. Xiao Jingshan was not like Ruan Xiong who became famous at a young age. He had been a member of Lingshan Sect for more than two thousand years. His speed of breaking through the realm was not fast, but he was moving very steadily. Not long ago, he even broke through to the realm of supernatural powers.

"Is there any evidence?" Xiao Niansheng asked again.

"I have no evidence, it's just my intuition." Huang Fan shook his head and said, "The reason why I doubt Junior Brother Xiao is because during the last sect competition, we had a bet on who would win between Ruan Xiong and Junior Brother Mu. Junior Brother Xiao seemed to be sure that Ruan Xiong would win, and Ruan Xiong did win. This can be explained by luck, or it can be explained that he and Ruan Xiong have been secretly in contact for a long time, or they are simply the same person!"

The same person Huang Fan was referring to was naturally the Black Demon.

Xiao Niansheng was silent for a moment, then suddenly stood up and said to Huang Fan: "Xiao Jingshan is in the sect now, come with me."

Xiao Niansheng quickly brought Huang Fan to find Xiao Jingshan. Xiao Jingshan was quite surprised to see the two of them coming and asked, "Why are the Sect Master and Senior Brother here together?"

Xiao Niansheng did not answer, but instructed Huang Fan: "Huang Fan, you go ahead and speak."

Huang Fan understood what he meant and said to Xiao Jingshan: "Junior Brother Xiao, I have something to ask you on behalf of the Sect Master. You'd better answer truthfully."

Xiao Jingshan nodded to show his understanding and said, "Brother, feel free to ask."

Huang Fan stared at Xiao Jingshan and asked, "During the sect competition that day, you and I made a bet on who would win between Ruan Xiong and Junior Brother Mu. Why were you so sure that Ruan Xiong would win?"

"Brother, you are wrong." Xiao Jingshan explained, "At that time, Ruan Xiong's cultivation was higher than that of Junior Brother Mu, and his performance was always outstanding. I naturally thought that he had a higher chance of winning. How could I be sure in advance that Ruan Xiong would win? If you don't believe me, I am willing to swear a great oath to prove my innocence."

Huang Fan suddenly sneered: "It is well known that the Black Demon is good at spiritual means. Whether your inner demon oath can be counted is another matter."

"No need to swear a great oath." Xiao Niansheng interrupted and said, "You should have known what happened to Mu Changsheng. He is now in prison. As a senior brother, shouldn't you also do something to help him?"
