No hope for eternal life

Chapter 207 Persuading to Retreat

Xiao Niansheng was dressed in white clothes, and when she heard Gao Chong's request, she stood there thinking for a long time, and finally said slowly: "Everything remains the same."

"Yes." Gao Chong said respectfully, without saying anything more, turned and left.

Let’s go back to the top of the assessment mountain. You Huangsheng made everyone speechless with his nonsense.

Ji Huanan had completely given up trying to reason with the other party at this point. He felt very depressed and didn't understand why the You Clan had chosen such a thing to participate in the Lingshan Sect's entrance examination.

Seeing that no one spoke, You Huangsheng stood proudly, looking quite proud, as if he had defeated everyone present.

Afterwards, You Huangsheng continued to bully Mu Changsheng and the other two: "It is wishful thinking for a useless man in his twilight years and two small golden elixirs to hope to pass through Lingshan Sect and make the leap to the Dragon Gate."

Mu Xun could no longer bear it after hearing this, and retorted: "You said we were wishful thinking, then why did you, the eldest young master of the You clan, come here to take the entrance examination?"

"Can you compare with me?" You Huangsheng said disdainfully: "The leader of Lingshan Sect is my great-aunt in terms of seniority. I am here just to go through the motions, but you are here to gamble your lives. In my opinion, you three have no hope of success at all."

"Really?" Mu Xun sneered and said, "Since you are so powerful, why don't you call your great-aunt over and see what she says?"

Mu Xun's last sentence was not entirely a remark of emotion. He really wanted to see whether the leader of Lingshan Sect would really show up and favor Youhuang Sheng. If so, he would not need to participate in the subsequent entrance examination.

"What are you arguing about?" A lazy voice was heard, and a woman in red suddenly appeared on the top of the mountain. She was one of the disciples of Lingshan Sect who had followed You Poling before.

When Mu Xun saw the people from Lingshan Sect coming, he became even more confident and said, "We are discussing the matter that the leader of Lingshan Sect is this person's great-aunt."

"Oh!" The red-dressed woman looked at You Huangsheng with great interest and asked, "Are you trying to establish a relationship with our sect leader?"

"I'm not trying to gain connections." You Huangsheng said proudly: "Our relationship is clearly recorded in the family tree."

"Really?" The woman in red said with a smile, and flicked her fingers, and two streams of energy hit You Huangsheng's calves respectively.

"Bang, bang." After two sounds, You Huangsheng fell to his knees.

The red-dressed woman continued with a smile: "If you were our clan leader's biological son, I would definitely worship you as my ancestor. Unfortunately, you are not, so you are not worthy. You are not even a great-aunt, and you don't even know how to be related to us. You call our clan leader old, do you know that?"

You Huangsheng wanted to get up, but couldn't. He said stubbornly: "If you dare to treat me like this, my clan will not let you go."

"I'm looking forward to seeing how you, the You clan, will not let me go." The woman in red said calmly.

Seeing that this person was unmoved, You Huangsheng could only choose to bow his head and remain silent for the time being. Mu Changsheng and others were also very satisfied with the red-dressed woman's handling of the situation.

Seeing that You Huangsheng had finally calmed down, the woman in red returned to the point: "Let me introduce myself. I am Xia Rong, a disciple of Lingshan Sect. I am responsible for the resources of the sect. The brothers and sisters in the sect like to call me the chief steward of Lingshan Sect. You can also call me that, but you have to wait until you pass the second level of the assessment and officially become a disciple of Lingshan Sect. The sect master and the elders have entrusted me with the full authority of this entrance examination, so from now on, you must listen to me."

"Yes." Mu Changsheng and others replied respectfully. Xia Rong's self-introduction actually contained a huge amount of information. The words "responsible for the expenditure of sect resources" were enough to show that the other party was in a high position and had great power.

Then, Xia Rong continued, "Originally, we had to wait until ten people were gathered before we could start the second level entrance examination, but this time the situation is special. For the sake of your three major families, we won't wait any longer. The eight of you will start the second level examination directly."

"But before the test officially begins, as per convention, I have the responsibility to solemnly remind you." Xia Rong said solemnly: "There is no life-threatening danger in the first round of the test, so the danger is all in the second round. Moreover, the mortality rate of this kind of danger is even higher for some special people, such as you."

Xia Rong said, pointing her finger at Chen Qun.

Chen Qun looked haggard and extremely depressed, but at this moment he was unusually calm and asked, "What's wrong with me?"

Xia Rong stared at Chen Qun and said, "We asked for your name and address before because we wanted to investigate your background to help determine whether you are suitable for the second level entrance examination. If you are not suitable, we will advise you not to take the second level entrance examination to avoid dying in vain. And you are very unsuitable to take the examination."

Chen Qun continued to ask calmly: "Why is it not suitable?"

"Because your entire family was killed in the monster attack." Xia Rong replied, "Your thoughts are easy to guess. You just want to rely on Lingshan Sect to become stronger and then go back for revenge. I solemnly warn you that if you take the entrance examination with revenge in mind, the possibility of your death will be extremely high."

"What if I insist on taking the second level test?" Chen Qun asked again.

"Then I can't do anything about it." Xia Rong said expressionlessly: "People like you who harbor hatred are likely to go astray in the future. If you die in the assessment, it can be regarded as eliminating harm to the people in advance."

"Eliminate harm for the people?" Chen Qun pulled an ugly arc at the corner of his mouth, smiled silently, and then replied: "I insist."

Seeing this, Mu Changsheng couldn't help but come out to persuade him, "Brother Chen, why do you have to do this? As long as you have the green mountains, you will not be afraid of running out of firewood. You should just give up."

Chen Qun shook his head and said: "This is my only hope. I will not give up."

Then, Chen Qun said to Mu Changsheng: "If I really die and you survive, I hope you can help me kill more monsters in the future."

"Why are you doing this?" Mu Changsheng sighed. In his opinion, Xia Rong's reminder was already very clear, so why take the risk?

Yang Wuque said softly to Mu Changsheng: "No need to stop him. Perhaps death is a relief for him."

Yang Wuque had also fallen into a low point, so he could understand Chen Qun's current feelings.

After hearing this, Mu Changsheng said no more.

Seeing Chen Qun's persistence, Xia Rong stopped trying to persuade him. Instead, he walked to You Huangsheng, who was kneeling on the ground, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Then it's your turn, Master You. If Chen Qun's probability of death is just higher, then in my opinion, you are doomed to die. Are you sure you want to continue to take the test?"

"Of course." You Huangsheng said firmly, as if he had already made up his mind.

"Okay, I like people like you who dare to persevere. From now on, you won't even have the chance to regret. I will tie you up and take you to the assessment site even if I have to." Xia Rong was so angry that she laughed. She had never seen anyone who was so anxious to reincarnate. If she didn't help this person today, she would be unworthy of being the eldest sister of Lingshan Sect.

Afterwards, Xia Rong looked around at Mu Changsheng and the others and said, "From the results of the background check, your situation is indeed much better than theirs. However, almost everyone who came to take the entrance examination in the past has done sufficient homework and is full of confidence. However, the mortality rate has remained high over the years. It is dangerous. I have reminded you for so many years. Don't think that you have any connections and can receive special treatment. Let me ask you one last time, have you given up?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Changsheng and the others remained silent. Having come this far, obviously no one would choose to give up.

"Very good, then follow me." Xia Rong led everyone to fly away from the top of the mountain, crossed one mountain after another, and soon arrived at a jade-roofed hall.
