Stop lying to me

Standing in the middle of the Dao Sect's great hall, Mu Cheng's eyes suddenly flashed with a brilliant light.

"Interesting, I never thought that even Dao Sect would be alarmed. Looks like this trip to the trial grounds will be hindered by quite a bit."

Mu Cheng looked doubtfully at the camp over there and whispered.

"Mu Cheng, did you forget what I told you at the blood pool?"

"This is the successor of the Supreme Sect. Every generation only has one successor. No matter if this successor dies in battle or not, there will only be one person."

Zi Ling noticed Mu Cheng's gaze and explained in an indifferent tone.

"So he is from the Supreme Sect. I wonder how strong is the successor of this year's Great Sect?"

Mu Cheng looked at the man with the sword on his back, and an indescribable emotion appeared in his eyes.

"I'm afraid that his strength is extraordinary, because not everyone is a disciple that can become a sect."

Zi Ling said casually. Her eyes never left Mu Cheng's face, and she actually became infatuated.

"Hey, Zi Ling, we are leaving."

Mu Cheng came back to his senses. After all, even if Mu Cheng wanted to fight with the successor of the Supreme Sect, he couldn't. At least not now.

"Oh." Zi Ling replied softly as she buried her head even deeper, not daring to look into Mu Cheng's eyes.

"Ah!" Zi Ling exclaimed as she raised her head to look at Mu Cheng.

At this time, Mu Cheng also looked at Zi Ling and their four eyes met, as they stood in place without moving.

"Be a bit more careful later. I have a nagging feeling that the trial ground this time will not be peaceful. Follow behind me."

Mu Cheng slowly said before he turned around and followed the group with his flying sword.

"He cares about me." Ripples emerged in Zi Ling's heart as the words of Mu Cheng echoed in his mind.

After a while, Zi Ling came to a realization, but realized that the disciples of the eight big sects were already very far away.

"Hey, Mu Cheng, wait for me." Zi Ling cried out in alarm before transforming into a ray of rainbow that streaked across the horizon.

After flying for half a day, Mu Cheng and the others finally arrived at the trial grounds, the Abyss of Black Water.

This was an abandoned territory, and there was only one Door to Trial in this place. Only through the Door to Trial could one pass through the Eastern plane and enter the so-called trial grounds, which was the Black Sea plane.

"Someone has been here before, and this Door to Trial has been opened by someone."

Qi Hao said softly. As he looked at the mark on the Door to Trial, his expression darkened.

"Brother Qi, who do you think they are?"

Gu Qianche walked over and looked at the traces on it and could not help but frown as he asked softly.

"It's hard to say, but there's the Qi of the Dao Sect's Universe Heaven Seeking Cauldron, it should be the Sect Leader coming."

Qi Hao affirmed and then found a broken fragment on the Door to Trial.

"This was dropped from the Cosmos Sack. Take a look."

Qi Hao's face could not help but darken, looking at the Door to Trial, he actually did not know what to do.

"That's right, this is the material for the Heaven and Earth Dao Seeking Cauldron, it is the exact same material as our Zongtian Sect's Hong Ni Shuang Jian, there's no mistake." After Gu Qianche received the broken piece, his expression changed as he looked at Door to Trial and hesitated.

"Brother Qi, what do you think we should do now?" Gu Qianche looked at the place in front of him that was just inches away from him, and actually lost all interest. He couldn't help but throw his gaze towards Qi Hao.

"Let's go in. There's no point in making wild guesses here. What's more, the headmaster has already entered. As long as we don't get too close, they should be able to take care of anything."

Qi Hao remained silent for a while, then said something as he actually brought the disciples of Dao Sect and disappeared from the Door to Trial s.

Watching the disciples of the Dao Sect enter first, the disciples of the other sects could not help but step into the Door to Trial s, and disappeared among them.

"Master Gu, what should we do?" Zi Ling asked softly. Right now, there were only the Zongtian Sect disciples left.

"Let's go in. This time, I'm afraid I know who's coming." Mu Cheng looked at the torn parts on the Door to Trial and said softly.

"Alright, I'll listen to you. Let's go in." As if he had made up his mind, Gu Qianche took the lead and entered the Door to Trial s.

"Yes." Zi Ling looked at Mu Cheng's back, and also resolutely walked in.

The two of them looked at each other, then Song Weiyi let out a cold laugh and also entered the Door to Trial s as well. The disciples of the Supreme Sect also hesitated for a moment, before following behind Song Weiyi.

Just as everyone had disappeared, a figure suddenly appeared on top of the Door to Trial.

Appearing before Mu Cheng's eyes was an endless darkness, as though there was no light at all.

"Mu Cheng, is that you?" A weak girl sounded out behind Mu Cheng.

Mu Cheng gathered all of his mana into his palm, and suddenly, a figure appeared in the darkness.

"Zi Ling, what's wrong?" Mu Cheng looked and saw that it was Zi Ling, so he asked.

"I lost Master Gu and the rest." Zi Ling said in a low voice before he moved closer to Mu Cheng.

"I also lost my way with Master Gu. Where is this place?"

Mu Cheng didn't think too much and looked at Zi Ling's figure. He then relaxed his guard.

"Zi Ling, did you hear what I said?" Mu Cheng tried to sound out the situation as he looked around vigilantly. What entered his sight was darkness.

"Mu Cheng, where are you? I'm afraid. " Zi Ling's voice once entered Mu Cheng's ears, carrying a trace of charm.

A cold light flashed in Mu Cheng's eyes as he looked in the direction of the voice. A surge of mana gathered in his hand and illuminated the entire area.

"You are not Zi Ling, because Zi Ling would not do such a thing. Speak, who exactly are you?"

Mu Cheng took a big stride forward and instantly locked onto his opponent's throat with the sword light in his hand. The moment Mu Cheng moved, his opponent would instantly die.

"I'm Zi Ling, do you remember me?" After saying that, Zi Ling's tears fell.

"Hmph, don't try to lie to me. You aren't Zi Ling at all, because Zi Ling isn't like you."

Mu Cheng said in a cold voice, the sword light in his hand becoming tighter by a bit.

"How did you see through it?"

The person imitating Zi Ling instantly changed her appearance, as a human-like demon beast appeared in front of Mu Cheng.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Mu Cheng asked coldly.

"Hehe, an abandoned person. In a few hundred years, I might forget about him myself."

That person mocked himself as he looked at Mu Cheng with a strange gaze.

"Where is this place?"

Mu Cheng continued to ask. Mu Cheng's heart tightened as he looked at the other's strange eyes. The sword light in his hand was about to leave his hand.

That person's eyes seemed to be in pain, unwilling to recall the past and revealing an expression of pain.

"Thus, that inhuman-like appearance of mine, despite possessing the appearance of a human, is akin to that of an animal."

The man let out a bestial roar before speaking loudly.

The other person's expression was extremely excited, and the gaze they shot towards Mu Cheng was as though they were looking at a wild beast.

"You are a pitiful bunch of people." Mu Cheng sighed with emotion. This kind of inhuman appearance would probably make them suffer greatly.

"Haha, we are not pitiful. After everyone becomes like that, there will be no difference in beauty. Besides, you will soon join our group."

The man screamed hysterically.

However, the sword beam in Mu Cheng's hand was faster than his opponent's attack.

In an instant, it pierced through the body, and a disgusting stench was emitted from the corpse.
