Chapter 8

"Hand of life in the world, flower in flower, flower in Killing House! It's actually an a.s.sa.s.sin from the Killing House!

The King Carefree had once mentioned the Killing House. The Tower Lord of Killing House was even more elusive. The Killing House of the Great Luo Dynasty was merely a branch power organization. However, just this branch alone had dared to a.s.sa.s.sinate the emperor. It was enough to see how terrifying the Killing House was.

Great Luo Dynasty had also dealt with Killing House before, but in the end, other than the crown prince, everyone else was a.s.sa.s.sinated. Their heads were even hung outside the city gates. If not for Killing House not wanting to exterminate the royal family of the Great Luo Dynasty, the crown prince's head would have been hung at the city gate too. Since then, the Great Luo Dynasty didn't dare to act against him again.

In Ling Dao's heart, he had already faintly guessed that the main culprit, who could request help from the Killing House on such a large scale, was none other than the royal family of the Great Luo Dynasty. They had long since been fearful of the King Carefree. Now that the King Carefree had disappeared, it was natural for them to eliminate him as a His Highness the Crown Prince with the help of the Killing House.

"Your Highness, don't think too much, we should leave this place as soon as possible, so as to avoid being overtaken by other killers."

Even though Jiang Zhong was wounded, he knew clearly that it was very possible that he would lose his life if he stayed. A mere true qi realm a.s.sa.s.sin almost took his life. Within the Killing House, there were too many a.s.sa.s.sins who could kill the two of them.

"The journey is more important, once we reach the Celestial Sect, your highness will be safe!"

Seven days later, Jiang Zhong and Ling Dao finally arrived at the foot of the mountain of Celestial Sect's sect. Fortunately, in these seven days, they did not encounter any a.s.sa.s.sination attempts. It was unknown whether or not they could make it to Celestial Sect.

At the bottom of the mountain, there was a giant stone tablet with the words "Celestial Sect" carved on it. It was just a stone tablet, yet it possessed such a qi image. It was truly amazing!

There was a sea of people around him and many youths around Ling Dao's age were filled with excitement. If they could become Celestial Sect Disciple, then their future would be limitless. Their elders naturally hoped for them to be able to join the Celestial Sect.

"So many people, it seems like we didn't miss the time, Celestial Sect is currently recruiting disciples!"

In front of Jiang Zhong and Ling Dao, there was a dense crowd of people rubbing their shoulders as they pa.s.sed by. Jiang Zhong was obviously very happy. As long as Ling Dao could become a disciple of the Celestial Sect, he would be able to rest at ease. The injuries on his body were extremely serious, and even with his previous foundation, he did not know how much longer he would be able to live.

In the past, Jiang Zhong had believed that Ling Dao could rise to the top for no other reason than because he was the son of King Carefree. Since seven days ago, when Ling Dao struck out with that incomparably breathtaking sword strike, Jiang Zhong had become even more convinced that Ling Dao would become a peerless expert in the future.

"Grandpa Jiang, let's go up as well!"

Celestial Sect was a true power, admitting disciples was naturally not a small matter. Thinking about Celestial Sect's entrance exam, Jiang Zhong's face turned ugly. With Ling Dao's situation, he might not even be able to pa.s.s the entrance exams.

"Yo, you want to join a Celestial Sect with such a sickness? What kind of place do you think the Celestial Sect is? "

"You can't put it that way. Maybe he's hiding his true self. Don't you know that dogs can jump over walls when they're anxious, and rabbits can bite if they're anxious?"

Ling Dao's face was pale white, and he looked extremely weak. Those young geniuses who wanted to join the Celestial Sect, naturally began to mock him. After all, Ling Dao standing among them was just too abnormal. It was extremely difficult to become a Celestial Sect Disciple. A sickly like Ling Dao, no matter how one looked at it, would never succeed.

However, Jiang Zhong's words caused the expressions of the few people who were mocking Ling Dao to change. To be able to be addressed as' Your Highness', he was definitely not an ordinary person. They were only ordinary geniuses. Naturally, they couldn't offend an existence with a formidable background.

Ling Dao did not care about the words of those people. In the past, with King Carefree, no one would dare to say anything in front of him. However, ever since the King Carefree had disappeared, there had been more and more people pointing fingers at him. How could he possibly lower himself to the same level as these people?

A large flag was fluttering in the wind, and on it were written two lines. Celestial Sect accepting disciples was naturally extremely strict. Those who are sixteen and above, and do not reach the true qi realm before the age of sixteen, are not accepted by Celestial Sect.

Ling Dao was now fifteen years old and not yet sixteen, but he was also not a true qi realm Ranker. He didn't even need to partic.i.p.ate in the entrance exam, he was already excluded. From the looks of it, there was no chance for him to enter the Celestial Sect.

"d.a.m.n, if only I could break through to the true qi realm. I don't even have the qualifications to partic.i.p.ate in the entrance examination, how am I going to face my clansmen when I go back?"

Some of the youths who couldn't meet the requirements were all dejected. The Celestial Sect was indeed powerful, but it was a pity that entering the sect was too difficult, they were eliminated before they could even partic.i.p.ate in the exam. But soon, their gazes focused on a youth.

"I, am fifteen years old, and am not a true qi realm Ranker, but I still want to join the Celestial Sect!"
