Chapter 360: Chapter 360: Struggle for Immortality

"Clang..."

Mo Buwen finished his drink before Lu Chen, then began to sway, losing his grip on the bowl, which crashed to the ground.

Immediately after, his entire body followed, toppling toward the ground.

Seeing this, Lu Chen let out a light chuckle in his heart and pretended to also lose his grip on his bowl, dropping it as well.

"Hehehe..."

Mo Dawu stood up with a sinister smile on his face.

Mo Erwu’s expression was also unpleasant, his scholarly appearance at odds with the smug smile that revealed his successful scheme.

"You... you actually poisoned the wine!"

Mo Buwen glared in anger, but his Yuan power was dissipating, and he couldn’t muster any strength.

"Mo Buwen, I’ve had enough of this journey. Did you think we were still within the Mo Family?"

"You are just a child born to the clan leader and a maidservant, why should you be above us?"

Mo Buwen shouted fiercely, "But the blood flowing in my veins is the same as yours, the blood of the Mo Family!"

"It is the blood of the Mo Family, indeed," Mo Dawu said with a cold laugh, "If you had not practiced martial arts, that would have been the end of it, and of course, we could have treated you as a brother of the Mo Family! But not only did you return to the Mo Family to practice martial arts, becoming part of the legitimate line, you also occupied the cultivation resources that originally belonged to us!"

"Exactly," Mo Erwu added, "And now, you want to compete with us for the chance to enter the Immortal Sect! Mo Dawu, if we don’t kill you... whom else would we kill?"

Mo Buwen retorted angrily, "The Immortal Sect didn’t say how many people it would accept, how am I competing with you?"

"That’s just what you don’t know," Mo Erwu mocked, "When we entered the city, we learned that the Immortal Sect only has three spots! Initially, when the three of us were traveling together, it didn’t matter, given our strength, we were not afraid of anything! But later on, you brought in this stranger for no reason!"

"Not only that, but last night upon seeking further information, we found out Xu Qianqian is also joining Heavenly Pill Pavilion! Thus, only two spots remain! There’s no choice left, Mo Buwen, you competed with us in martial arts, now in the pursuit of immortality, it’s our turn to compete with you!"

Lu Chen had been silent all along, now discerning the relationship between them.

He sighed softly, thinking that if they had frankly cooperated with him from the beginning, perhaps working together to kill Xu Qianqian, they might have actually stood a chance, avoiding this eventual betrayal.

Whether it was Mo Buwen’s suspicion of the two brothers.

Or the brothers’ even more ruthless and decisive actions, resorting directly to murder.

Lu Chen recognized the powerful allure the Immortal Sect had for ordinary Martial Artists!

Competing for immortality...

Competing for immortality!

Mo Erwu mentioned these two words, which coincided precisely with what Mo Buwen had told him before.

Indeed, everyone sought immortality, and it seemed, in this aspect, he might be somewhat inferior to them.

Indeed.

Lu Chen’s journey on the Immortal Path began with treasures from the Hatetian Clan, a path fraught with difficulties, but he had never faced this process of competition.

Instead, it had always been a game of human scheming.

"If mere Martial Artists are like this, I can only imagine that within the Immortal Sect, things will only get worse."

Lu Chen reminded himself.

He had no plans to join Heavenly Pill Pavilion, but when the time came to go to the Casting Gear Pavilion, he knew he had to be prepared to defend himself!

At that moment, Wu Da and Wu Er seemed to have lost their patience too, ready to carry out their murderous intent.

"Mo Buwen, it’s time to send you on your way."

"And Lu Chen, it’s just your... bad luck, having a Yuan Stone yet choosing to stay in the cheapest room!"

Both men drew the weapons in their hands.

Mo Buwen, realizing he was on a path of no return, closed his eyes.

However, after a long while, the anticipated slash of the blade never came upon him. Confused, he suddenly opened his eyes.

Instantly, he witnessed an incredible scene that completely froze the expression on his face!
