Chapter 62

In the city of Wufang, the mirage in the training ground was once again entirely of Chu Zhongze. This was the second time, and in recorded history, it was the only time. The boy was indeed clever, knowing the significance of the "Remnant Clan Grand Test" to the Hunlan Continent and what he should do. Such a cunning young man, especially from the Xishan Barbarian Tribe, was indeed rare.

The training ground erupted into another frenzy, the thirst for blood making the ordinary people of the Hunlan Continent scream loudly, as if doing so would make their lives better and bring them some comfort.

None of the five major sects were present in the training ground, but the people living in Wufang City couldn't help but speculate about the future of such a young remnant clan member. Being so sensible, even if no one from the five major sects was moved, perhaps those who had made a fortune in the casinos would casually reward him with a future.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" A series of shouts echoed from all directions, the excited faces of the people turning red. The "Remnant Clan Grand Test" held every five years was particularly exciting this time.

Many people whispered, speculating whether this young man who brought them "joy" would be favored by any of the major sects and taken in. Although this was the Heavenly Dao Sect's territory, no top-tier first-class major sect would tear their faces over a remnant clan member.

Perhaps a few soul stones would be his price? Who knew?

The casino temporarily added bets, and the entire Wufang City was thrown into chaos in an instant. A series of betting odds were hastily added to the mirage notice board at the casino entrance, and countless soul stones flowed into the casino owner's pocket. Countless people went mad, a bloody frenzy that occurred every five years.

Inside the Heavenly Dao Sect, after the bell rang, it became somewhat quiet. The Blood Evil Sect, Tianji Mansion, Yunhai Hall, and Zuhuang Divine Sect sent people to inquire, trying to find out what had happened in the Heavenly Dao Sect, but they were politely sent away by the disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect.

What had happened? Apart from the elders and the sect master of the Heavenly Dao Sect, even the core disciples didn't know what had happened. Everything was so quiet, as if nothing had happened at all.

"What is this boy trying to do?" Gao Zuobin, though standing in front of the mirage, watching Bu Li hidden in the tree shadows, seemed like a wisp of a soul, non-existent. As a Wencheng, all Wenchengs had this ghostly appearance, and the other elders of the Heavenly Dao Sect were used to it, paying no attention.

Sun Guixiang said, "He is really patient."

"I'm not talking about that. He just killed two people and had enough left ears, but he didn't even look at them, only keeping that useless ring." Gao Zuobin expressed his doubts. If this person was the legendary young man born to face the calamity, how could he be so shortsighted? And if not, how could he kill a first-class Wencheng warrior right after entering the Wencheng path, which was too unreasonable.

Wencheng, each level had a world of difference. Even within the same level, the gaps between entering the skin, entering the flesh, entering the bone, and entering the soul were not easily crossed. But in the hands of this "shortsighted" young man, he repeatedly overturned everyone's understanding.

Entering the Wencheng path was indeed a great leap, but that was not enough.

It was truly strange. Gao Zuobin expressed his confusion, seemingly just muttering to himself, not expecting any answers from the other elders of the Heavenly Dao Sect, and continued to watch the mirage. The mirage in the back mountain of the Heavenly Dao Sect was watched by only one person—Bu Li.

"Maybe the kid doesn't want to join the Henshan Sect." Yun Yuhai, sitting on the side, occasionally glanced over, seeming somewhat indifferent, joked.

A joke, sounding impossible, but upon careful consideration, it seemed more and more like the truth! The kid actually didn't want to join the Henshan Sect, a statement that sounded like a joke, but was closest to the truth.

Yu Ze, since returning, had his brows tightly furrowed, his mind heavy with worry. He was the only one among the top-tier existences of the Heavenly Dao Sect who was closest to Bu Li. Recalling the words the young master had said, and the fleeting glance at the time, Yu Ze had a nearly absurd answer in his heart.

"Perhaps he never intended to join the Henshan Sect." Yu Ze said.

"How is that possible? The kid doesn't look stupid." Yun Yuhai laughed awkwardly. Even though he thought it was impossible, there was no reason to explain why Bu Li had no interest in the left ear of the remnant clan youth who had climbed the Dragon-Breaking Platform.

Maybe Yu Ze was right?

"I'll ask the old man." Yu Ze slowly stood up, straightened his clothes, and walked out of the inner chamber, neatly dressed.

"Perhaps the guy has already been scared to death." Shan Hongbin, looking at Yu Ze's back, suddenly said before Yu Ze left the inner chamber. The "guy" he referred to was probably not Bu Li but Yu Ze. Yu Ze seemed not to hear Shan Hongbin's words, walking out without any change in his demeanor.

Shan Hongbin said, "The guy is just putting on a show. This time, the young master had an accident in that remote place, and he can't escape the blame. In my opinion, he should just commit suicide to save his family."

The elders quietly discussed the peculiarities of Bu Li, but in the end, they had no definite answer.

Chu Zhongze naturally knew that at this moment, he would become the focus of the entire Hunlan Continent. Whether he would be favored by a major sect and rise to prominence in the future depended on his luck. As for what he could do, he had already done it. Chu Zhongze was also satisfied with his performance, doing his best and leaving the rest to fate.

The more so, the more Chu Zhongze didn't want to kill the big, simple-minded guy in front of him immediately. Being able to carry his companion all the way to the Dragon-Breaking Platform proved that their relationship was deep, but so what? In the face of great temptation, everything was false and unreal. Yang Cai from the Dishi Clan was now thrown into the wild, probably already eaten by wild dogs. What a pity for that girl... A strange thought suddenly appeared in Chu Zhongze's mind.

A smooth back, a strong, slender waist, and all of this, he was about to possess. Chu Zhongze smiled, thinking about how much he had done for this day, and who could know?

"I'll count to five, and you two make a decision. I've killed enough people these past two days. Since we've made it to the Dragon-Breaking Platform together, it's our fate. We might become fellow disciples in the future, so I hope you can take care of each other." Chu Zhongze hid his pride, lowering his stance, whispering softly in the ears of the Wencheng warrior Wan Liqun and the Wencheng Yu Ze, like a demon in Bu Li's memory.

The demon's whisper, a great temptation, who in this world could resist?

Silence reigned, only the great array covering the Divine Remnant Mountains was slightly brighter than before. Chu Zhongze knew that Wufang City was watching him.

"Five." Chu Zhongze smiled, as if chatting with his brother about some amusing matter, softly saying, his left little finger bent.

Disagree, and both would die. Agree, and perhaps one could live. Yu Wang's mind was racing, countless thoughts surging in his head.

With Wan Liqun's back and neck right in front of him, a slight movement of his fingers could kill the kid. Though severely injured, he still had enough soul power for that.

What a temptation... Yu Wang took a deep breath.

"Four." Chu Zhongze seemed to see the changes in Yu Wang's mind, and in the face of great temptation, his voice took on a seductive tone.

Wan Liqun rubbed his hands, asking naively, "Should I give up and let him reach the top?"

Yu Wang felt an overwhelming sadness. His lifelong friend hadn't seen the situation clearly. Chu Zhongze clearly wanted one dead and one alive, and the choice was up to their own hearts. But even if one died and one lived, could one really reach the Dragon-Breaking Platform?

"Three." Chu Zhongze shook his head, not answering Wan Liqun's question. A simple gesture already expressed Chu Zhongze's attitude, which was no different from what Yu Wang had thought.

"What should we do?" Wan Liqun was at a loss, for so many years, Yu Wang had always made the decisions, and he just followed. Yu Wang was severely injured, and a simple shoulder throw could kill him, cut off his left ear, reach the Dragon-Breaking Platform, and become a disciple of the Henshan Sect, leading his clan out of this desolate mountain.

The moment this thought appeared in his mind, it spread like a wildfire, impossible to suppress.

"Two." Chu Zhongze didn't give Wan Liqun and Yu Wang more time to choose. Five numbers were enough. The time was neither too long nor too short, creating a sense of urgency, which Chu Zhongze grasped perfectly.

Seeing Wan Liqun's confused and conflicted eyes, and the fingers of Yu Wang behind him, Chu Zhongze smiled. Indeed, a group of people born with sin, only their blood could cleanse his own sins. Fortunately, everything was about to end, everything was about to end!

"One." Chu Zhongze smiled, his left hand gently fanning the paper fan. Though dressed in rough linen, in Chu Zhongze's heart, he felt like a graceful and elegant young man of the Hunlan Continent. The feeling of life and death was truly good, and if one day he could reach the peak of the Hunlan Continent, would he still remember everything that happened in the Divine Remnant Mountains?

Time was running out, already counting down to the last number. Both Wan Liqun and Yu Wang were about to break free from their confusion. Rather than doing nothing, they might as well do something.

A fierce look appeared on Wan Liqun's face, and Yu Wang's fingers also moved.
