Mortal Village, things weren't without their share of troubles.
Internally, it was also divided into two factions.
One faction follows the rules set by their ancestors and teachers, guarding the Mortal Village for generations and forbidding them from stepping out!
The other faction argued that since the people in the Mortal Village were so powerful, why should they stay in the village?
Once they get out, won't they be able to crush the people of this star system?
At that time, they will not only have abundant resources, but also considerable power!
The village chief's side, on the other hand, falls into the first category.
The He Clan they were referring to was naturally the latter.
"But what exactly has given them the courage to defy the master again? And why have they become so brazen?"
The village chief's face darkened. He said, "Go to the He Clan and take Elder He to see the master!"
The middle-aged man nodded.
At this moment, Lu Changsheng stood up and said, "Village Chief, I'll take my leave now."
The village chief was slightly taken aback. "The third test hasn't even started yet, aren't you going to stay here?"
Lu Changsheng shook his head.
Then he went outside.
Ji Qianyao was also somewhat puzzled, but she still followed.
Why are you leaving?
Lu Changsheng rolled his eyes and said, "Didn't you hear their conversation?"
"If we stay at the village chief's house any longer, we might get involved."
Did this woman put her brain in her chest?
Can't we spare some nutrients for the brain?
Ji Qianyao's expression was strange.
That's way too cautious...
"Where do we go now?"
"Please, please leave us."
In front of the bamboo house.
The gentleman's residence.
The village chief and another elderly man stood side by side.
The two stood in front of the bamboo house, the atmosphere heavy with tension.
But none of them spoke.
At this time...
The master's voice came from inside the bamboo house.
"I already know about it."
"Tell me your thoughts."
At this moment.
He Zhen, the old man next to the village chief, is the head of the He Clan family.
"Sir, our Mortal Village has been guarding this place for countless eras. But what exactly are we guarding?"
The gentleman said, "The object being guarded is of utmost importance."
The implication is that you shouldn't know.
The village chief, his face grim, said, " He Zhen, are you not listening to the words of our ancestors?"
He Zhen snorted coldly, "I don't know what conflict is involved."
" The Mortal Village has guarded this place for countless years; it's time for it to go out and let the world know the prowess of the people of our Mortal Village."
"At that time, won't resources and power be within easy reach?"
The village chief angrily reprimanded him.
Why let others know? Is cultivation for others to see?
"Furthermore, what is so attractive about external power?"
He Zhen retorted, "With resources and power, my Mortal Village can reach greater heights! Instead of being like this, possessing great cultivation yet only able to wait mediocrely within the village, guarding that illusory thing!"
"You!"
The two argued without reaching an agreement.
He had no choice but to bow and clasp his hands in respect towards the bamboo house.
"It's up to you, sir, to decide!"
However, what the man said next surprised the village chief.
"The conflict between the two sides is too great, and this is not conducive to the peace of the village."
"Perfect timing. Using this test as an opportunity, each of you should find one person. Whoever passes the third test will be chosen."
The village chief said anxiously, "Sir! This won't do!"
He Zhen sneered, "Why not? Are you afraid that the person you found is not as good as mine?"
"Alright, that's settled then."
"You may go now."
Mr. Jian made the final decision.
The village chief had no other choice but to leave, leaning on his cane.
After the two left.
The gentleman, who had been writing and drawing in the bamboo house, stopped what he was doing.
"A great calamity is approaching, and many talented individuals will emerge; those who encounter the wind dragon will Dragon Transformation."
"We'll have to see who He Zhen contacted."
Originally, He Clan's ambitions had been revealed before.
However, the man forcibly suppressed it.
Now we rise again.
You wouldn't believe it if there wasn't collusion with outsiders.
This opportunity also allows us to find out who has harbored inappropriate intentions towards the Mortal Village.
If that's really the case...
The gentleman's brush moved swiftly across the parchment!
A large character for "death" appeared on the scroll.
Every stroke is like a thousand troops galloping by!
Every stroke of the brush, every line sharp and deadly, is filled with murderous intent!
Three days passed.
The village chief summoned Lu Changsheng again.
"Young man, the third test will begin tomorrow."
Lu Changsheng, with a look of utter despair on his face, said, "Village Chief, just say what you need to say."
This kind of notification can be easily delivered by simply sending someone over.
Why bother inviting him over in such a formal way?
This young man.
Why are you so direct?
The village chief smiled awkwardly and then recounted his conversation with the gentleman.
So, are you interested?
"Um, I'm not interested."
Clean and efficient!
No hesitation or delay!
Refuse outright!
The village chief was also taken aback.
Lu Changsheng shrugged and said without hesitation, "I will naturally pass the test, but I will not join any side."
"So, village chief, you should find someone else."
The village chief quickly said, "Young man, you don't need to join! You're just representing our side!"
That won't work either.
Are you kidding me? Doesn't this mean I've inadvertently offended a powerful force for no reason?
Although their strength is not that great.
But it's best to avoid these kinds of troubles as much as possible.
When you're out and about.
You need to know how to protect yourself!
Watching Lu Changsheng's departing figure.
The middle-aged man standing nearby asked, "Village chief, should we look for someone else?"
The village chief smiled and shook his head, saying, "No need."
No?
Just give up like that?
What about the He Clan?
A glint of light appeared in the village chief's cloudy eyes. "When the young man stepped into this place, He Zhen should have received the news as well."
Even if he refuses, the other party will still consider him as the person I have chosen.
The man then realized what was happening.
The reason why the village chief was able to become the village chief.
Popular support alone is not enough.
Furthermore, one must possess exceptional mental fortitude.
Only then can the villagers in the Mortal Village be managed well.
The next day.
The sun rises brightly.
Purple qi aura and rosy clouds swirled around.
This also means that the third test has begun.
Here.
It's the back mountain of the Mortal Village.
It's also where the villagers hunt regularly.
And this is the location of the third test.
Currently, a total of 18 people have passed the second stage.
Duan Chaohe and Jin Wujin were among them.
Xing Cheng is also located here.
After all, Lu Changsheng, as a follower, passed the test, so Xing Cheng is also qualified to participate.
In other words, if Xing Cheng is eliminated at the third checkpoint, then Lu Changsheng will also be eliminated directly.
Therefore, while conducting the test, Lu Changsheng also had to ensure the safety of Xing Cheng.
Lu Changsheng was also the only one who came to the third trial as a follower.
