Lord Hua watched the two carriages leave and sighed heavily in his heart!
He just hoped that his son would fail the test.
Sects like the Soul Devouring Sect were plagued by internal strife. Once there, life and death were not within one's control.
He also knew that Muchen meant well and gave his son a place in the assessment.
But he was really resistant to joining the sect.
Even though Muchen was protecting his son in the sect, he still felt uneasy.
He had heard long ago that the Soul-Devouring Sect ranked last among all the hidden sects.
Over the years, the number of members has been increased by recruiting new disciples.
And the competition on the third day of March this year will probably let the new disciples go on stage to die.
He really didn't want his son to join such a sect, but he couldn't refuse Muchen's kindness.
Muchen...
He only hoped that Muchen could understand his painstaking efforts and allow his son to be eliminated during the assessment.
***
It took a day and a night to finally reach the Soul-Devouring Sect after setting out from Anping City.
The Soul Devouring Sect was located halfway up a mountain. From the bottom of the mountain, one had to climb 1,999 steps to reach the main gate.
The steps are all paved with bluestone slabs, half of which are old and weathered, while the other half look like new slabs laid only a few years ago. The contrast between the old and the new creates the illusion of a fusion of ancient and modern times.
The three of them stood at the bottom of the stairs, carrying their suitcases, looking at the stairs that wound and undulated like a dragon, each with different thoughts in their mind.
Luo Jiuyan's expression was particularly complicated.
Simply because he remembered that he had been here in his previous life.
He walked the same road once.
However, at that time, he was so eager to save people that he had no time to observe the scenery around him.
Although more than two thousand years have passed and the world has changed dramatically, some things remain unchanged.
Just like the stone steps in front of you that look like a swimming dragon, even though half of the bluestone has been replaced, the layout and formation of the steps have not changed.
It turns out that the current Soul Devouring Sect is actually the Ancient Soul Clan from more than two thousand years ago.
Luo Jiuyan never expected that the Ancient Soul Clan, which he thought had long been buried in history, actually still existed.
This suddenly gave him a lot more expectations in his heart.
Back then, he witnessed the Ancient Soul Clan's methods with his own eyes.
If they took action, even if his father's body was occupied by someone, there would be more than 90% chance of recovery.
I just don’t know what the abilities of the current ancient soul people are!
After all, more than two thousand years have passed, and the Ancient Soul Clan not only changed its name, but also became so poor that it had to rely on recruiting outsiders.
You have to know that over two thousand years ago, the Ancient Soul Clan's strength was entirely due to the strength of its members. Every member of the Ancient Soul Clan was born with mysterious powers.
No matter how talented the outsiders are, they can never compare with the people of the ancient martial arts tribe.
What's more, the Ancient Soul Clan is blessed by God and is born with mysterious powers. They can transfer souls and change bodies, steal the world, and even allow people to be reborn two thousand years later.
Not everyone has this kind of power.
Even if they passed the assessment and entered the Ancient Soul Clan, they would still be ordinary disciples.
Luo Jiuyan thought of Muchen.
As the eldest disciple of the sect leader, it seems that after all these years, he still hasn't learned the unique skills of the Ancient Soul Clan.
The Sang Kingdom had no choice but to send more people to the Ancient Soul Clan to learn from them.
But they never thought that some power cannot be obtained by external forces.
Luo Jiuyan glanced at the excited Hua Yuqi, and a barely perceptible coldness flashed in his eyes.
This fool.
Mu Chen let Hua Yuqi suddenly enter the sect, which was definitely not done with good intentions.
He didn't believe that City Lord Hua couldn't see it.
This guy is still so eager to die. I really don't know where his previous cleverness has gone.
The three of them were about to climb the stairs.
At this moment, there was a noise behind me.
More than a dozen carriages, carrying a group of young boys and girls, stopped in front of the stone steps.
After getting off the carriage, the boys and girls looked up at the winding and undulating steps, and all shouted with excitement.
"How about we have a competition to see who reaches the top first?"
A young man in his twenties looked up at the 1999 stone steps leading up to the top. Instead of retreating, he was eager to run up.
After hearing what he said, the men and women who got off the carriage all joined in.
One of the girls pointed at Xiao Qingran, Luo Jiuyan and the other two.
"You three want to come together?"
Everyone immediately looked at the three people.
They were all stunned by the looks of the three. Even Song Yuzi, known as the most beautiful woman in the ancient martial arts world, couldn't help but take a few more glances at Xiao Huaran's face.
In terms of appearance alone, she is on par with Xiao Qingran.
But in terms of temperament, she felt that she was not inferior at all.
Just the glance that Xiao Qingran just gave touched the hearts of countless men and women.
Although she has always been praised by others, she knows herself well.
There was a faint jealousy in my heart, but more of it was powerlessness.
If she was only slightly different from the girl in front of her, she might not take it seriously.
But anyone with a discerning eye could see that she and Xiao Qingran were like the bright moon and the vast stars in the sky.
Just when Song Yuzi was still in a daze, someone pushed her.
"Yuzi, are you ready?"
Song Yuzi suddenly woke up, glanced at the people around her, and saw that everyone was ready to run. A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth and she nodded to the people around her.
The steward of a big family said "start", and everyone started rushing up the stairs with their luggage.
Xiao Qingran, Luo Jiuyan, and Hua Yuqi also started to move forward.
