Chapter 1116 – Throwing Coins for Life and Death
Chapter 1116 – Throwing coins to decide life and death
A few people were about to argue again, when the Heavenly Devil on the side opened his mouth insidiously.
“Oh, I advise you, in his highness good words with you to speak, the best behavior, his highness is not in the discussion with you, but in the pronouncement of the rules!
Those who are unwilling to toss their coins are considered to have given up, and will all be dealt with on the opposite side!”
Hearing the threatening intent in the words, the six people’s faces turned white, at this point, there was no way back.
Even if they chose to withdraw now, the Tenth Highness would not agree.
They dared to be angry, but pointed their spears at the remaining three.
“Why can the three of them not have to participate in this third round of tests?”
“Yes, Your Highness, why don’t they have to flip a coin, it’s not fair!”
Mu Yun looked calm, “If you can be like Wei Ming, Hua Jinyu, and Xu Chuniang, who obtained thirty Liusang stones unharmed and retreated from the Black Cloud Mountain in one piece, you can likewise be exempted from participating in the third round of tests, only, can you do it?”
The six of them were dumbfounded, it was already not easy for them to obtain thirty Lucid Mulberry Stones in just one day, so how could they possibly escape unharmed?
“Since you can’t do it, then you are not strong enough, if you are not strong enough, how are you qualified to negotiate with me?”
Mureyun’s gaze looked at the six people one by one, they didn’t dare to meet her eyes and lowered their heads.
“Since there are no objections, let’s start with you.”
Mureyun casually pointed at one person, her calm tone revealing indifference to life.
Deciding the life and death of a few Earth Demons by flipping a coin was not a big deal in her eyes.
Seeing that there was no room to turn things around, the female cultivator who was pointed to had no choice but to step forward and receive the ancient coin from Mureyun’s hand.
Beads of sweat oozed from her forehead, and her hand holding the ancient coin trembled slightly as she hesitated to throw out the ancient coin that would determine life and death.
“I will count to three, if you have not tossed the coin after I finish counting, it will be considered as giving up.”
As soon as the words fell, the Heavenly Demon who spoke began to chime in, “Three.”
The female cultivator’s face was unsightly, her hand holding the ancient coin a little bit harder, her heart kept praying that she would be able to toss the raw side.
“Two.”
The female cultivator closed her eyes, seemingly making some sort of determination.
“One.”
As the last chime fell, she flicked her fingers and finally tossed the ancient coin.
The ancient coin tumbled a few times in the air, then fell to the ground and rolled.
The female cultivator stared at the rolling coin, her heart almost jumping out of her chest, until the rolling speed of the coin became slower and slower, and the positive side of the word “life” was displayed on it, she felt that she had come back to life.
It was the positive side, she had passed the test and didn’t have to die!
The female cultivator breathed a sigh of relief, and felt a sense of gratitude that she had regained her life, her luck was not bad.
Twilight Cloud was also satisfied, “Congratulations for passing the test, from today onwards, you are my personal soldier, next.”
The success of the female cultivator inspired the others, following her, a cultivator who felt lucky soon crossed the crowd, picked up the ancient coins on the ground and threw them with gritted teeth.
However, the ancient coin fell, and the upward side was the opposite of “death”.
The cultivator who threw the coin stared incredulously, “How could it be the opposite side, my luck has always been good, no, it can’t be!”
He hastily picked up the ancient coins on the ground, with some prayers on his face, “Your Highness, this time it was an accident, give me another chance, I will definitely be able to toss the obverse side ……” Before the words fell, a black aura penetrated his chest and annihilated his divine soul.
Twilight Cloud regretfully shook his head and retrieved the ancient coin from his hand, “No way yet, it’s a matter of life and death, how can I go back on my word? If you want to blame, blame your own bad luck.”
With that, she tossed the ancient coin to the next person, “Your turn.”
The cultivator who caught the ancient coin had an ugly face, but without much hesitation, he threw out the ancient coin in his hand.
The matter has come to this point, there is no point in delaying, hopefully he can throw in the side of the raw ……
His eyes followed the ancient coin, until he saw that after the ancient coin settled, the front side representing “life” was upward, then he breathed a long sigh of relief, and had a feeling of survival after the robbery.
“Congratulations on successfully passing the test, next.”
The next two cultivators, however, were not as lucky, both threw in the opposite side, and were strangled on the spot.
The last person was lucky and threw the front side, surviving.
Mureyun looked at the three people who passed the test with a smile on his face and explained.
“Your strength is average, moreover you need luck, just letting you throw in the front side, if you don’t have this bit of luck, even if you become my personal soldiers, you will still be dead when you go to the ancient graveyard, can you and the others understand my bitterness?”
The three of them looked submissive and lowered their heads, “Understood.”
“Very well, since this is the case, the six of you will be grouped into one group, with Wei Ming as the leader of the group, responsible for the duty of scouting, go back to the city first, and on the way back, it will be up to you and others to scout.”
Mu Yun nodded with satisfaction, leading the crowd to embark on the road back to the city.
The six had just become soldiers, and were entrusted with the duty of scouting, they did not dare to be careless, and had raised their spirits to scout the surrounding movements.
Especially Wei Ming as the leader of the group, he carefully asked the remaining five people about the scouting method and scope, and then selected four people to supervise the four directions of southeast, northwest and north, while he and Hua Jinying were in the center, responsible for scouting the two directions up and down.
The Heavenly Demon beside Mu Yun looked at his arrangement in his eyes and smiled as he said, “Your Highness, this Wei Ming is a prudent person with a prudent nature, choosing him to be the leader of the group is really the right choice.”
Mureyun indifferently gave a light “hmmm”, “When we return to the city, you arrange a place for them to stay, we will be leaving for the ancient graveyard in a few days, I hope they can be useful.”
Under Wei Ming’s command, the six members of the group cooperated well, avoiding several Extra-Terrestrial Heavenly Demons in advance, and returned to Profound City peacefully.
After returning to the city, Mu Yun left first with a few Heavenly Demons, leaving one Heavenly Demon in charge of docking with the six.
She looked at the six and introduced herself, “My name is Rosa, I am the left arm and right arm of the Tenth Highness, from today onwards, you guys are under my control, just report to me if there is anything.”
“Yes, Lord Rosa.”
For the Heavenly Demon that followed around Twilight Cloud, several people did not dare to be slow, and they made a salute to respond.
Rosa’s gaze crossed from the six people’s faces one by one, and in her indifferent tone, a dangerous implication was revealed.
“Since you are under my control, you have to listen to my arrangements, if I find that there are any of you who are shady and disobedient, dare to disobey my will, or have any small actions behind my back …… Even if His Highness opens his mouth to plead for you, I will not forgive.”
The crowd’s hearts flinched, “We will remember Lord Rosa’s teachings!”
Seeing that the hammering was almost done, Rosa no longer spoke much, “His Highness has asked me to arrange a new residence for you and others, follow me.”
The six people followed behind Rosa and walked towards the northern city.
