Surviving a Tribulation Failure and Collecting Disciples in the Mortal World

Shang Liang, the master of the Yuntai Sect, failed his ascension after using the remains of an ancient divine dragon to refine a magical artifact, the Dragon Soul Tower, causing his soul to transmi...

Chapter 348 Acquaintances but Unrecognized

Shang Lin didn't say anything, but he wasn't as calm as he appeared. There were so many things in the sewers of the new district; it was impossible for none of them to escape.

At that time, their numbers were likely increasing due to the existence of the Tree of Life. However, the people of the Yuntai Sect cleared away all the tangible ones, and the intangible ones…

I'm afraid that from the moment it appeared, those who could run away had already run away.

Alas, we miscalculated. This means countless ordinary people in the city will suffer! Looks like Mo Rong and the others are in for a lot of work!

As soon as Shang Lin entered the building, he sent a message to She Jinxing: Who is guarding 301 now?

She Jinxing: Long-sharp.

Shang Lin wanted to send a message to Chang Feng, only to find that he didn't have the other party's contact information!

So Shang Lin could only say to Mo Rong, "I can't get in. You can go in and take a look. There are disciples of my sect watching over him. Don't mistake him for an evil spirit. His name is Changfeng, and he is the spirit of a short sword."

Mo Rong paused, "Changfeng?!"

Shang Lin also stopped, looking at Mo Rong with suspicion, "Do you know?!"

"I don't know. I used to have a sword called Changfeng. It was a long sword, but it broke in two during a fierce battle. I was also seriously injured at the time and basically fell into a deep sleep. By the time I recovered, the sword was long gone. But you said it's a short sword and has a sword spirit, so it shouldn't be my sword."

Shang Lin, "..."

He especially wanted to say, "Even if it was once your sword, it is now mine to use. Since it is mine to use, there is no reason to return it easily."

only……

Can I, so ordinary now, hold onto my responsibilities?

Mo Rong glanced at Shang Lin indifferently, and surprisingly smiled, "Sect Leader Shang, shall we continue upstairs?"

Shang Lin, "..."

Good heavens, good heavens! You, who never have a face like that, suddenly smile—how terrifying is that? No, no, no, it's a little scary, isn't it?

Shang Lin immediately turned around and continued walking upstairs. In fact, he also wanted to go to 301 to see what was going on, but unfortunately, he couldn't use his invisibility or wall-penetrating abilities right now.

As for asking She Jinxing to come downstairs to help him, forget it. They haven't had much contact with Director Mo Rong, so who knows what kind of person he is?

301 arrived quickly. Shang Lin stopped and looked at Mo Rong. "Should I wait for you here, or go home first?"

Mo Rong resumed her expressionless demeanor. "Go home first. Don't you still have homework to do?"

"Okay, I'll go home now. Be careful."

Although a small evil spirit posed no real danger to Mo Rong, Shang Lin felt it was best to say something caring to avoid upsetting the leaders and causing them unnecessary trouble.

Mo Rong's figure vanished instantly. Shang Lin continued upstairs, but very slowly. He wanted to wait for Chang Feng, but even after he reached his doorstep, Chang Feng still hadn't come out. As for summoning it using the servitude contract...

Shang Lin felt it was unnecessary. Since Chang Feng hadn't returned, he must be watching the scene. He wanted to wait for Chang Feng to come back and hear him about the situation.

The door opened as Shang Lin stopped walking. She Jinxing hurriedly went inside and asked, "Have you been home ever since we parted ways at the school gate?"

"No, I went to check room 301 first when I got back, and then I went upstairs. What's the situation downstairs now?"

"I don't know, Mo Rong is handling it. We'll just wait for news." Shang Lin put down his book and saw She Jinxing's review materials. He immediately asked, "How's it going?"

She Jinxing bluntly stated, "It's not very good. There are talismans and spells inside, which also require an exam. I can't do that."

Shang Lin thought for a moment before saying, "I can ask Yu Qingfeng what specific talismans and spells will be tested, and then I'll teach you."

She Jinxing laughed and said, "I'm afraid the talisman spells that the sect leader knows are different from those in the human world. Moreover, what you draw will not be the same as what I draw. Besides, how can drawing talismans be mastered in a short time? Let's forget about it."

Shang Lin, "..."

Good heavens, I forgot about such an important issue. After all, the human realm doesn't even have ordinary short-distance teleportation talismans right now.

However, "In this way, not only can you not help me test the waters, but when I reach the age to take the test, I still won't be able to pass."

"No, no, the sect leader is human. You can handle anything that humans can do."

Shang Lin, "..."

What to do when your disciples have an inexplicable level of trust in you?

She Jinxing then said, "Changfeng hasn't returned yet, why don't I go down and take a look?"

"...Take me with you too."

She Jinxing looked at Shang Lin, puzzled, but finally agreed, "Okay."

With She Jinxing's help, Shang Lin successfully entered the interior of 301. At this time, there was no female homeowner or child in the house, only the male homeowner lying on the sofa, looking as if he was neither alive nor dead.

However, the menacing black aura above the male homeowner's head had completely disappeared, suggesting that the evil spirit had been dealt with by Mo Rong, but the house was still a mess.

The matter was resolved, and the non-human should have left, but Changfeng stared blankly at Mo Rong and asked, "Have I seen you somewhere before? Why do I feel so familiar with you?"

It seems that on a bustling street, amidst the autumn wind swirling fallen leaves, through countless days and nights, this person appears to be dressed in an elegant long robe, with long hair gently swaying in the wind, exuding an otherworldly charm.

One day, the world suddenly changed. He was in a hurry, his brows furrowed, as if he were facing some great danger, and he seemed to be in the midst of it all, constantly intersecting with something.

Then, for a fleeting moment, time seemed to freeze, and a long sword suddenly snapped in two...

Changfeng's heart skipped a beat, and he looked uncertainly into Mo Rong's deep eyes, "So, you were once my...master?!"

Upon hearing the word "master," Changfeng felt a strange stirring within him, as if the person before him brought back memories that were both vague and distant.

However, Mo Rong said, "No, I rarely use weapons. Even when I do, it's a long sword."

Changfeng continued to look at Mo Rong, utterly puzzled. "Could it be that with the passage of time and the changing of the seasons, I've made a mistake?"

However, the images that flashed through his mind, though numerous, were not very clear. Changfeng hesitated again, but he quickly calmed down and gave Mo Rong a simple smile, "Maybe I'm mistaken. After all, I have quite a few masters."

As soon as he finished speaking, Changfeng immediately looked away and asked Shang Lin, "Why is the sect leader here too?"

Shang Lin replied calmly, "You haven't come back, and I didn't know what was going on here. I was a little worried, so I asked Little Snake to bring me here. Is this resolved?"
