No hope for eternal life

Chapter 139 The mysterious woman appears again

"You coward." Another golden-armored guard cursed, and then said to Sha Tongmo: "Mu Changsheng is a candidate for the Six Nations Trial, what on earth do you want to do?"

Sha Tongmo really started to explain: "It's not too complicated, actually. I just want Mu Changsheng's body refining secret technique. As long as Mu Changsheng is willing to cooperate, no one will die today."

Mu Changsheng felt a chill in his heart when he heard this, and then he said to Sha Tongmo: "I have made a vow not to pass on the secrets of body refining to others, so you'd better give up on this idea."

Mu Changsheng had indeed made a great oath to his inner demon regarding the secret technique of the Nine Transformations of the Physical Body, and he spoke out at this moment in an attempt to make Sha Tongmo give up.

Shatongmo raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He had expected this, so he smiled and said, "That's not easy to deal with. It seems that we can only settle for the next best thing and search your soul."

Mu Changsheng's face changed. Soul search? Legend has it that once someone searches your soul, you will become an idiot if you don't die, because soul search will definitely hurt the cultivator's soul, and the mystery of the soul has always been unpredictable.

However, before Shatongmo made a move, there was applause from behind the crowd, and a voice said: "Interesting, I didn't expect it to be so lively today, with all kinds of monsters and demons gathered together."

Everyone turned around and saw that the person who was applauding was the sloppy old woman. However, this time the old woman had a playful look on her face, and she didn't look panicked at all like before.

When Song Zhi saw this, her eyes fixed, and then she lowered her head slightly to avoid being seen by others.

Shatongmo was also quite surprised by the sudden appearance of the old woman, and then asked politely: "Who are you?"

"You are questioning me." The old woman chuckled and said, "As a county governor, you shouldn't be so bold. Tell me, who is behind you?"

"Humph." Shatongmo snorted coldly: "You are playing tricks. I advise you to stop meddling in other people's business."

"You don't listen when I talk to you nicely." The old woman sighed softly, and her whole appearance changed drastically, and finally she turned into an elegant woman in a black dress.

Then, the woman in the black dress put two fingers together and pointed slightly towards the sky. A wisp of flame emerged from her fingertips and flew into the sky: "Your reliance is this sixth-grade formation."

As the flames of the woman in black skirt flew to the sky, the originally reddish sunset instantly turned into a sea of ​​fire. At the same time, Shatongmo sensed that his formation had been broken.

"Now, are you willing to answer my question?" The woman in the black dress looked at Shatongmo.

He easily broke through the sixth-grade formation. At this moment, Shatongmo knew that he had met a tough opponent.

"Plop." Shatongmo knelt down and begged for mercy, saying, "Please spare my life, Senior. This was not my intention. I was forced to do this by Shen Xu, the Duke of Shen."

"Oh." The woman in the black dress chuckled and said, "Hasn't anyone told you not to lie so easily? So, you swear a great oath to your inner demons, swearing that you have never thought of murdering Mu Changsheng, and that everything today was forced by Shen Xu. Otherwise, you will be annihilated. If you don't die from the backlash after swearing, I will believe that what you said is true."

Upon hearing this, Shatongmo's face immediately turned pale. Of course, he didn't dare to make such a great oath. To be honest, he was the one who found Shen Xu first.

When everyone saw that Shatongmo did not dare to swear a great oath to destroy his inner demon, they naturally understood that everything was related to Shatongmo.

"The Inner Demon Vow can be used in this way." Mu Changsheng sighed inwardly, feeling that he had learned a trick.

Seeing this, the woman in the black dress didn't say anything more. She flicked her finger and a flame popped out, and went straight towards Shatongmo.

Shatongmo instinctively wanted to hide, but he was kneeling on the ground and couldn't even move at the moment, because he had already been locked by the aura of the woman in the black dress.

So Shatongmo could only watch the flame fly into his body.

"Ah, ah..." Shatongmo screamed in pain immediately, but to Mu Changsheng and other outsiders, he did not have a single injury on his body.

On the other side, Song Zhi was extremely nervous, but she didn't dare to show it on her face, for fear of revealing a flaw, but her mind was trembling: "This woman is too strong."

At the same time, Song Zhi felt deeply regretful. If she had known this would happen, she should have separated from Mu Changsheng and his group at Niujiao Ferry. She had guessed that the old woman might be hiding somewhere, but she didn't expect her to be so hidden.

Soon, Shatongmo stopped groaning in pain, but started yelling like crazy: "You've ruined my cultivation! You've ruined my cultivation..."

Hundreds of years of cultivation were destroyed in an instant. For Shatongmo, it would be better to kill him directly.

The woman in the black dress said calmly: "They say that evildoers will be punished by their own evildoers. It just so happens that I like to be the evildoer."

Then, the woman in the black dress gently waved her hand to cover Shatongmo's mouth, thinking he was a little noisy.

The matter of Shatongmo was settled, and Mu Changsheng hurriedly clasped his fists to the woman in the black skirt and thanked her: "Thank you for saving my life, senior."

The rest of the people followed Mu Changsheng and expressed their gratitude.

"It's a bit early to thank you now." The woman in the black dress smiled faintly and turned her gaze to Song Zhi.

Song Zhi met the gaze of the woman in the black dress and bowed her head slightly to show respect. This is the normal reaction of a weak person meeting a strong person, and there is nothing wrong with her performance.

The woman in the black dress said slowly: "Miss Song, are you a cultivator from the demon race?"

When these words were spoken, everyone in the audience was shocked, especially Mu Changsheng. Looking at Song Zhi, who was closest to him, he could never have imagined that Song Zhi would actually be a cultivator from the demon clan.

Song Zhi looked up and said anxiously: "Senior, you are joking. How could I be a demon? If I were a demon, how could you not see my true identity?"

"How do you know I can't see your true identity?" the woman in the black dress asked back, instantly catching Song Zhi's language loophole: "That's because you are sure I can't see your true identity."

Then, the woman in the black dress nodded gently and said, "I really can't see your true identity."

"However, if we want to verify whether you are a demon cultivator, the method is extremely simple." The woman in the black dress said slowly.

Mu Changsheng's heart moved when he heard it, and he immediately understood what the method the woman in black dress was talking about. It was the same method that the woman in black dress had just used on Sha Tongmo. It only depended on whether Song Zhi dared to swear the Great Oath of the Heart Demon to prove that he was not a demon cultivator. Then he could determine whether the other party was a demon cultivator.

"The monks in the world never learn their lessons." The woman in the black dress sighed and said to Song Zhi: "Do you want me to repeat it to you?"

Song Zhi's face suddenly turned cold, and she understood what the other party meant. No matter how deeply or well she hid it, a big oath from her inner demon was enough to expose all the lies.

Immediately, Song Zhi formed her five fingers into claws and was about to capture Mu Changsheng, who was closest to her, and take Mu Changsheng as a hostage. This was her only chance of survival.

However, the woman in the black dress naturally did not allow Song Zhi to perform. With a wave of her hand, she froze Song Zhi in place, unable to move at all.

"It seems that everything is self-evident." The woman in the black skirt walked towards Song Zhi, pinched Song Zhi's face, looked at her and said: "I know that there is a kind of demon pill in your demon race. After the demon cultivators take it, they will shed their demon bodies and return to human bodies. No one can tell the difference. Thousands of years ago, I also met a demon cultivator who took the demon pill. He was just like you, very good at disguise, but they both lacked a little luck."

"Hey." Song Zhi sneered. Her whole body was sealed, and she could not do anything except speak. At this moment, she no longer needed any disguise: "Why? Before interrogating me, do you still want to tell me about your great achievements?"

"You misunderstood. I never thought of interrogating you." The woman in the black dress said calmly, "On the contrary, I respect you demon cultivators. I know you are also cultivators with lofty ideals. Almost all of you are not afraid of life and death. The only difference is your stance. You are demons, and we are humans. It is natural for you to kill us, and it is also natural for us to kill you. There is nothing to blame on either side."

"Over the years, when I encountered demon cultivators, I used two solutions: don't kill those who cooperate, and kill those who don't cooperate. The choice of life or death is in your hands."
