"Ahhhhhh!!!! There's a ghost!!! Cough cough cough! Bang!!!"

A shrill scream rang out, accompanied by a strange thud, as if someone had picked up Zhao Chen from inside the cave and slammed him to the ground.

The expressions of the cultivators changed drastically.

"Zhao Chen, what's wrong?"

"Zhao Chen, are you still alive?"

What happened?

A question was raised.

However, no sound came from inside the cave.

Clearly, Zhao Chen is probably dead.

"Something definitely didn't go right."

"Sigh, this method still doesn't work."

"Zhao Chen, although you were indeed greedy, at least you made contributions to us. May you rest in peace!"

May you rest in peace!

"Take care!"

With heavy hearts, the monks drew another large X at the entrance of the cave.

However, Lu Changsheng couldn't help but frown slightly.

This doesn't make sense.

I've always had incredibly good luck, how could I possibly be wrong?

He frowned and pondered for a moment.

He then thought of a possibility, but he wasn't sure, so he had to test it again.

Then, Lu Changsheng took the Golden Staff.

"Demon Rod, Demon Rod, tell me, which is the right way?"

Lu Changsheng tried a second time.

Soon, after spinning dozens of times, the Golden Staff once again pointed to the fourth cave.

Lu Changsheng didn't waste any words and continued the test.

The third time!

The fourth time!

The fifth time!

Ten times in a row.

The direction in which the Golden Staff landed was always the fourth cave.

In an instant, Lu Changsheng became even more certain of his thoughts.

He arrived at the cave entrance and then slowly began to speak.

"Zhao Chen, you forgot your ladle. Do you want me to toss it in for you?"

A sound rang out.

In an instant, a voice echoed from inside the cave.

"No? The gourd is in my hand."

At that moment, everyone was stunned.

Immediately following was a barrage of insults.

"That bastard Zhao Chen, he actually lied to us?"

"This guy isn't dead?"

"Is he acting?"

"Fellow Daoists, hurry in, seize him, and kill him."

"In my life, I've met countless people, but this is the first time I've seen someone like this. He's truly shameless."

The cultivators cursed and swore.

Lu Changsheng immediately called Gu Aotian, Longma, Wang Fugui, and Wang Xuanji and they went inside together.

He said so.

How could my luck possibly disappear?

That Zhao Chen is really cunning.

Now that we've found the auspicious burial site...

The group rushed into the cave.

The Third Trial was also solved.

The cave was long and very dark, but there was indeed no danger.

About half an incense stick later.

A ray of light appeared.

Lu Changsheng walked out of the cave.

Soon, they came to see a desolate wasteland.

Zhao Chen was kneeling not far away, looking at the crowd.

"Fellow Daoists, I have already said that I cannot control myself. If you want to fight, then fight. But let me make this clear first: when I came here, there was nothing here. Don't accuse me of hiding treasures."

His voice was loud and filled with sorrow.

To be honest, he really felt unlucky. When he went to the Langya Secret Realm, he didn't get anything good and just got beaten up for nothing. Now, in the Celestial Origin Holy Ground, he thought he was really lucky to have passed the Third Trial.

Unexpectedly, when they came out of the cave, there was nothing there, and their scheme had been exposed.

He felt terrible and wanted to cry.

"I couldn't control myself either, you bastard, you almost killed us."

"Brothers, fight them to the death!"

"Just leave him breathing."

"I can't hold back anymore, I'll go first."

"White Crane Spreads Wings".

"Black Tiger Heart Snatch".

"Awei Eighteen Styles".

"The Monkey Steals Peach."

The cultivators were already seething with anger, and if Lu Changsheng hadn't been so clever as to ask a question, they would all have been fooled.

To be honest, not having any treasures isn't a big deal, but if Lu Changsheng hadn't been so clever, and everyone had treated the life-saving spot as Dead Aperture, the result would have been a death without a burial place.

Naturally, everyone became even more ruthless.

Lu Changsheng didn't care about that.

In fact, if the test results still show the fourth cave, he will stick to his own idea.

It's just a matter of getting through the checkpoint sooner or later.

"Why do I feel like I've been here before?"

Just then, Gu Aotian's voice slowly rang out.

He Qilin, looked around, and said this.

"You've been here before?"

Lu Changsheng was somewhat surprised.

"I think I've been here before, but I can't remember clearly."

Gu Aotian shook his head. He had some recollection of it, but couldn't remember it.

"Something's not right. Why is there no path forward? Is this the end? Why is it so desolate?"

"Yes, there's nothing there. What's going on?"

"Did Zhao Chen hide all the treasures?"

"That shouldn't be the case. All the Law Treasure have lost their effect here. Even if Zhao Chen wanted to hide them, he couldn't."

Everyone was very curious.

But at that moment...

Suddenly, two doors slowly appeared.

A door radiating celestial light.

A door that was completely dark.

Two doorways appeared.

At this moment, many cultivators stopped what they were doing.

Look over there.

Immediately afterwards, two people walked out from the gate, each wearing Golden Battle Armor, making it impossible to see their true faces.

He held a long spear, the tip of which was dripping with terrible blood, a terrifying sight that intimidated everyone.

"We are the Undead General guarding this place. Behind the door lies the Heavenly Origin Holy Land. But one of these two doors is the Life Gate, and the other is the Death Gate. You can only send one person to decide your fate."

"However, we will give you a hint: you can ask us one question, but only one question, and only one person will answer it. Also, one of us will tell the truth and the other will lie, so please be careful."

A loud voice rang out, and after the two Undead General speaking, they stepped back and entered the Death Gate. Then the two reappeared and stood straight in front of the gate without saying a word.

They look exactly alike, without any difference whatsoever.

"What's the meaning?"

"I don't understand? What's this 'Life Gate' and 'Death Gate'?"

"What prompt is this? What prompt is this question?"

"Sorry, my brain isn't working properly. Could you explain it again?"

The cultivators spoke, but some did not understand what they meant.

However, some monks understood what it meant.

"What they mean is that the doors behind them lead to the true holy land and the abyss, but we don't know which one leads to the holy land and which one leads to the abyss. However, we can ask one of them a question, but one of these two people will tell a lie and the other will tell the truth!"

"So if you want to get through this, you have to know who is telling the truth and who is lying."

The Purple Azure Holy Son very clever and directly explained what the key to solving the fourth level was.

Who is lying?
