No hope for eternal life

Chapter 105: Dragon Clan's Past

"No, no, no, it has nothing to do with you." Song Zhi smiled and shook her head slightly. Her eyebrows and eyes curved, and her smile became even more beautiful. She said with a bright face: "But this is the most interesting part. Our king, or all members of the Feng family, are proud of having the same surname as the Feng Sect Master. It is also for this reason that the royal family follows the style of the Lingshan Sect and the Tianling Sect, which is why we have the current rule of the world."

Finally, Song Zhi asked back: "Now, the two gentlemen should know why the capital was built here, right?"

Mu Changsheng nodded and said: "Because this place is closer to Lingshan Sect."

Then, Mu Changsheng added in his mind: In other words, the Shenfeng Kingdom did this just to curry favor with the Lingshan Sect and the Tianling Sect.

Mu Changsheng not only resolved a doubt in his heart, but also sighed with admiration from the bottom of his heart. This is the influence of the strong. Just a person with the same surname has such a great impact on the Kamikaze royal family, and then affects the entire Kamikaze country.

It is always better to learn good things than bad things. Even if the Kamikaze Kunifu clan had other purposes in learning from the Lingshan Sect and the Tianling Sect, it is worthy of praise.

Then, Song Zhi pointed in a direction and said, "Gentlemen, please take a look and see if you want to try again."

Mu Changsheng and the other person looked in the direction and saw a familiar scene before their eyes. It was a gambling den that specialized in betting on the rankings of this year's palace examination.

"Let's go and take a look." Mu Changsheng agreed. Just as Song Zhi once said, the ranking of the monks taking the palace examination can be roughly seen through the odds of the gambling stalls.

So, Mu Changsheng and the other two walked into the gambling den and checked the odds rankings of the monks taking the palace examination.

Take the first place in the Palace Examination for the Foundation Establishment Realm for example. Feng Li has the lowest odds, 1.01 to 1, and there is even a betting limit, with a maximum bet of one thousand medium-grade spirit stones. This shows how optimistic the bookmakers are about Feng Li getting the first place in the Palace Examination.

After Feng Li, it was Xue Shaoyang. The odds for the first place in the palace examination were 1 to 1.5. Except for Feng Li, there was no betting limit for everyone else.

As for Mu Changsheng and Mu Xun, the odds of them getting first place in the palace examination were frighteningly high, at 7 to 1 and 6 to 1 respectively.

Secondly, the odds of Mu Changsheng and Mu Xun making it to the top three in the palace examination are also not low, at 1 to 6 and 1 to 5 respectively.

Apart from Feng Li, the three people with the lowest odds are Xue Shaoyang and Shen Qianliu. So judging from the odds alone, Xue Shaoyang and Shen Qianliu are the biggest obstacles for Mu Changsheng and Mu Xun to break into the top three in the palace examination.

"I bet on Mu Xun to be among the top three in the Foundation Establishment Realm Palace Examination, and I'll give you two thousand mid-grade spirit stones." Mu Xun bet on himself again.

Mu Changsheng also bet on himself to be in the top three, betting two thousand middle-grade spirit stones. After tasting the sweetness of making a net profit of four thousand middle-grade spirit stones last time, Mu Changsheng thought about betting a little more, but he thought that the probability of him failing to be in the top three was really high, so he held back. After all, if he failed, he could only buy the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill with spirit stones, so he might as well save some spirit stones in advance.

Seeing this, Song Zhi, who was standing by, also bet on Mu Changsheng to be in the top three again, and then said with a smile: "I hope both of you can get into the top three this time, and I can make a fortune again."

"Thank you, Miss Song, for thinking highly of me, but I really don't dare to make this guarantee at all." Mu Changsheng replied with a wry smile.

Song Zhi responded coquettishly: "Everything has risks. The two thousand medium-grade spirit stones I bet this time are what I earned last time. I have no regrets even if I lose."

After placing their bets, Mu Changsheng and the other two left the gambling den and returned to the Eleventh Courtyard. They each went back to their rooms to rest and recuperate in preparation for tomorrow's palace examination.

As for Song Zhi, not long after returning to her room, she walked out of the room, left the villa, and headed towards the northern city area.

Finally, Song Zhi stepped into a restaurant called Sihai, which is also one of the top restaurants in the capital.

When the restaurant's errand boy saw Song Zhi coming, he hurried over to greet her.

Song Zhi said familiarly: "Find me a room by the river, and bring me two pots of Yujiangchun wine."

"Yes, distinguished guest, please follow me." The errand boy respectfully led Song Zhi into the box, brought the two pots of wine that Song Zhi ordered, and then tactfully left.

Song Zhi sat by the window, looking out at the Huanglong River. Enjoying the scenery by the river is one of the selling points of this restaurant.

As for the two pots of wine, Song Zhi didn't touch them at all. It was just a secret message for contacting each other. She herself had no interest in wine.

The contact person had not arrived yet, and Song Zhi continued to look at the Huanglong River rushing outside the window. There was a reason why the contact point was chosen here, and it was because of the Huanglong River and the story behind it.

In those ancient times, the Tianshuang Realm was not called the Tianshuang Realm, but was called the Tianlong Realm. The entire Tianlong Realm was the territory of the dragon clan and also the territory of the demon clan.

Later, the human race became powerful and occupied the entire Tianlong Realm, and the dragon race was forced to relocate and flee this world. However, many dragon cultivators were unwilling to leave their homeland and chose to stay.

As expected, the remaining dragon monks were all strangled to death by the human monks. The last dragon monk who was killed died on the Huanglong River. That dragon monk was a yellow dragon, which is why the river got its name.

The human race uses the Huanglong River to record their great achievements, but the demon race naturally regards it as a great shame.

"Knock." A knock on the door interrupted Song Zhi's thoughts, but Song Zhi did not rush to open the door, but just stared at the direction of the door.

Then, the knocking on the door rang rhythmically twice and then stopped completely. Only then did Song Zhi open the door from a distance.

After the door opened, a tall and muscular man strode in. There was no need for a secret signal, as the knock on the door just now was the signal.

The tall man sat down opposite Song Zhi, picked up the wine jug, and started drinking.

Song Zhi suddenly frowned and asked the visitor sternly: "Are you from the Dragon Clan?"

Due to racial reasons, Song Zhi was more sensitive to the perception of dragon cultivators. In addition, the restaurant's private room was equipped with a soundproof formation like the auction room's private room, so there was no need to worry about the conversation being overheard.

The tall man remained silent in the face of Song Zhi's questioning, which was also a tacit acknowledgement of his identity as a dragon.

Upon seeing this, Song Zhi immediately revealed a look of disdain and contempt, and sarcastically said, "Nowadays in the Tianshuang Realm, there are many demon cultivators from various races, but your dragon cultivators are really rare. I didn't expect that I would have the 'fortune' to meet one."

The dragon clan used to be the largest clan among the demon clans and the pride of the demon clans, but now they are the shame of the entire demon clan. This is not because they lost the Tianlong Realm, nor because of the incident in Huanglong River, but for other reasons.

Faced with Song Zhi's ridicule, the tall man remained silent, as if he was already accustomed to such ridicule.
