No hope for eternal life

Chapter 212 Crisis

Blood Qi changes, blood pill changes! Mu Changsheng's secret technique and forbidden technique were used together. A blood pill full of dangerous aura was pushed out by Mu Changsheng's palms, instantly destroying Lei Han's fist attack, and then exploded in front of Lei Han. Its power was like the self-detonation of the golden pill by a peak golden pill cultivator.

"Bang!" Lei Han's seemingly strong body was instantly blown into a ball of blood mist by the explosion of the blood pill.

The blood mist was floating in the air, and it was so real in front of Mu Changsheng's eyes that he suddenly had a flash of enlightenment in his heart.

Mu Changsheng finally figured out why Lingshan Sect set the background of the illusion in the Tianshui Realm ten thousand years ago, because the Tianshui Realm at this time was under the domination of Tianshui Emperor. It is said that at this time, in order to practice evil arts, Tianshui Emperor deliberately disrupted the Tianshui Realm, making this realm the most turbulent place in the history of the Nine Realms, like purgatory on earth.

The Qiu family and others were also influenced by this era, so they acted so unprincipled.

Only after experiencing life in hell can one know how hard peace is to come by. This is probably what Lingshan Sect wants him to feel.

Mu Changsheng now truly feels the sadness of this era, but unfortunately, this is of no help to him in breaking the illusion.

At the same time, on the high platform of the Hua family, Mu Changsheng's goal was finally achieved. His performance successfully attracted the attention of the Hua family, but it was not Hua Sheng, the head of the Hua family, who noticed him, but Hua Sheng's daughter, Hua Lan.

Hua Lan was very satisfied with Mu Changsheng's performance, and asked Hua Sheng: "Dad, my daughter is practicing swordsmanship, and she just needs a practice partner. Can you give the man from the Qiu family to my daughter?"

"Okay, okay." Hua Sheng said lovingly: "In this Tiangong Sea, Dad can give you whatever you want."

After that, Hua Sheng said to his men: "Go, call Qiu Lie and that guy together."

Soon, Mu Changsheng and Qiu Lie both received orders from Hua Sheng to be summoned.

"It really worked." Mu Changsheng was delighted, and went with Qiu Lie to meet the Hua family and others.

However, Hua Sheng's first words almost broke Mu Changsheng's defense: "Qiu Lie, my precious daughter has taken a fancy to this man of yours and wants to take him in as a sparring slave. Do you have any objection?"

Qiu Lie certainly didn't dare to object, and kept saying: "Being favored by the young lady is a blessing from his previous life, so I naturally have no objection."

Mu Changsheng's expression was extremely ugly. His original idea was to be accepted as a retainer by the Hua family with his outstanding performance, but he didn't expect that the Hua family would be so wild and want to take him as a slave right away. This was really like escaping from the tiger's mouth and falling into the wolf's den.

In fact, being a slave is secondary. The most important thing is that once Mu Changsheng enters the Hua family as a slave, he will be separated from Mu Xun, which Mu Changsheng is absolutely unwilling to do, because Mu Changsheng has determined that Mu Xun is the key to breaking the illusion, so he must be bound together with Mu Xun, and the two cannot be separated.

Hua Sheng keenly noticed Mu Changsheng's ugly expression and asked him unkindly: "Why? Are you still unwilling?"

Mu Changsheng knew that Hua Sheng was a cultivator of the seventh realm according to historical records. Facing such a strong man, he had no power to resist and could only surrender temporarily.

So, Mu Changsheng half-knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "I am very honored to be the young lady's sparring partner, but I also have a brother who has been inseparable since childhood. I beg the adults to allow my brother to serve the young lady together with me."

Although it was not very fair to take Muxun as a slave, Mu Changsheng always suspected that this Muxun was a fake, so he didn't care about whether it was genuine or not. If he found out later that Muxun was real, it would not be too late to apologize.

Mu Changsheng's idea was beautiful, but the illusion was cruel. Miss Hua Lan was used to being arrogant. When she heard Mu Changsheng's request, she immediately said dissatisfiedly: "I only want you, not your brother."

Hua Sheng was devoted to his daughter and said angrily, "As a slave, you should have the consciousness of a slave. You are not qualified to make conditions."

"Yes, I won't dare to do it again." Mu Changsheng bowed his head to apologize, not daring to refute. He was really afraid that the other party would kill him if they disagreed with him, and then he would most likely be eliminated in the assessment.

Perhaps guessing that Mu Changsheng was unwilling to give up, Hua Sheng used his finger as a pen to write a large piece of text in the air, and then said to Mu Changsheng: "Since you want to be a servant of my Hua family, you should take this oath to satisfy your inner demons."

Mu Changsheng looked up to read the oath, and veins on his forehead popped out instantly. According to this oath, once Mu Changsheng made it, he would be a slave in the Hua family forever and ever, and be loyal to Hua Lan. He could not have even the slightest disloyalty. If he violated the oath, he would be destroyed both physically and spiritually.

If the previous surrender was just a way of enduring hardship, then once he made this oath to destroy his inner demons, Mu Changsheng would never be able to turn things around in this illusion.

"I must not take this inner demon oath." Mu Changsheng shouted in his heart. This was not only humiliating, but Mu Changsheng seriously suspected that once he took this inner demon oath, he would most likely be immediately judged as eliminated from the assessment, because he would not even have his freedom, so how could he complete the subsequent assessments.

"If I don't swear the inner demon great vow, I will surely die. If I swear the inner demon great vow, I will be eliminated immediately. What should I do?" Mu Changsheng's forehead began to sweat. He was caught in a dilemma.

This problem seemed to have no solution, because Mu Changsheng was too weak in this illusion, and any cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage was enough to crush him.

Originally, he had Yang Wuque, Mo Lianyue and others to help him in reality, but now Mu Changsheng can only rely on himself.

On the other side, Hua Sheng was getting impatient and warned: "If you take this oath, you still have a chance of survival. If the lady is in a good mood in the future, she may let you go free. Otherwise, I don't need to say more."

Hua Sheng's words were clearly intended to induce Mu Changsheng to swear a great oath to defeat his inner demons. However, the more this happened, the more suspicious Mu Changsheng became, and the less he wanted to swear a great oath to defeat his inner demons.

"You only have ten breaths to consider." Huasheng reminded.

Mu Changsheng's brain was working at a high speed, thinking of various possible countermeasures: "Since it is a test, it is impossible to leave no way out. There must be a way to avoid taking the oath of the inner demon and save my life."

"Five more breaths." Hua Sheng counted down: "Four, three, two, one."

When Hua Sheng counted to the end, he was too lazy to talk nonsense and raised his hand to attack Mu Changsheng.

Mu Changsheng's eyes suddenly lit up at this moment, because he finally thought of a solution: "Why didn't I think of this before."

Then, Mu Changsheng hurriedly shouted: "Please wait, sir. I know a great secret and I am willing to share it with you."

"What a huge secret." Hua Sheng's eyes flashed, and he actually stopped and did not attack Mu Changsheng.

Hua Lan, who was listening to this, said disdainfully: "You are just a mere Jindan realm, what secrets can you know? You are just trying to delay time to save your life."

"The Hua family is full of powerful people. I, a mere Jindan realm cultivator, naturally dare not act rashly. If you confirm that what I said is false, it will not be too late to kill me." Mu Changsheng retorted to Hua Lan. He had the confidence to speak now because he had thought of a solution and was not afraid of Hua Lan at all.

However, Hua Lan had never been so humiliated before, and immediately raised his eyebrows and cursed: "You little dog slave, how dare you talk back? I will teach you a lesson."

After saying that, Hua Lan drew his sword and was about to stab, but was stopped by Hua Sheng.

Then, Hua Sheng said to Mu Changsheng calmly: "Tell me, if your secret is shocking enough, I might consider sparing your life."

Mu Changsheng had been half-kneeling before, but now he stood up, clasped his fists and said confidently: "It is precisely because the secret is too shocking that I can only tell you, my lord. Please ask your attendants to leave."
