Chapter 261: Greatest Rival:
(Dark Star)
This was the land where the Night Clan's direct descendants resided.
Many cultivators from all over the Night Clan have gathered here at the moment.
Direct descendents of the Night Clan seemed to be in competition with each other.
The news of this has spread throughout the Dark Star and reached the ears of major forces in the Heavenly World.
Thus, what was initially a small annual fight contest has become a massive event.
This contest attracted Night Clan cultivators from several factions of the Dark Star, and even a few high-level Divine beings of the Night Clan were alarmed.
These high-level Divine beings have not yet shown themselves, but they have bestowed numerous treasures as rewards.
This contest's location has already been decided.
The event would take place on an abandoned planet within the domain of the Night Clan.
Through the Dark Star teleportation portal, one could access this abandoned planet immediately.
...
(Near the Dark Star teleportation portal entrance)
Most Night Clan cultivators who wished to participate in this contest were gathered here.
A beautiful woman dressed in red stood out among them.
"Sister Mu Yan, we worked hard to set up this annual contest. Mu Lingsha, that girl wouldn't dare back out, would she?"
"Yes, I'm still looking forward to Sister Mu Yan defeating her in this contest and snatching her title as the Night God's successor."
"Rest assured, even if Mu Lingsha doesn't dare to come this time, Sister Mu Yan has kept a trump card to snatch away her title as the Night God's successor."
"But I wonder if Mu Lingsha has really encountered any obstacles. If she doesn't have a problem with her soul like the rumors say, our efforts today might be in vain."
A few Night Clan cultivators that gathered around the lady clad in red murmured.
The lady dressed in red smiled coldly in response and said, " Don't worry, based on the information I've received, Mu Lingsha's soul is definitely in trouble. So, she is now no longer qualified to accept the Night God's inheritance... Also, we are doing this for the sake of the entire Night Clan.”
She spoke quite persuasively.
Her words dispelled all the doubts and hesitations in the hearts of other Night Clan cultivators.
As the lady in red and her companions discussed quietly, Mu Tao, Mu Lingsha, and several other Night Clan cultivators appeared in the distance.
As descendants of one of the Night Clan's most powerful factions, Mu Tao and the others' arrival caused an immediate uproar.
Many Night Clan cultivators came over to greet Mu Tao and the others.
There was a high chance these cultivators could rise in the Night Clan if they had exceptional talent.
If not, they must rely on core cultivators such as Mu Tao.
"She actually came, and she doesn't seem to have encountered any accidents."
Seeing Mu Lingsha arrive, many people changed their expressions and murmured quietly to one another.
In the Night Clan, news of Mu Lingsha's soul matter had long spread.
There was speculation that Mu Lingsha would not participate in this annual contest.
Nobody was expecting her to actually show up, however.
Mu Lingsha's gaze was fixed on Mu Yan as soon as she arrived.
Their eyes met, and both women displayed intense hostility.
Seeing Mu Lingsha and Mu Yan, people who knew their relationship watched them intently, waiting for what would transpire next.
The secret hostility stemmed from Mu Lingsha and Mu Yan being potential successors to Night God's inheritance.
Mu Lingsha represented the Dark Night Faction, while Mu Yan represented the Midnight faction.
Mu Yan and Mu Lingsha have always been hostile to each other because of this.
This time was no different.
Mu Yan considered Mu Lingsha receiving the Night God's inheritance pointless.
Within the entire Night Clan, only she and Mu Lingsha were qualified to receive the Night God's complete inheritance.
Compared to other Night Clan cultivators, they were far ahead.
Mu Lingsha was Mu Yan's greatest rival in receiving the complete inheritance of the Night God.
She wouldn't hesitate to try any method that could sway Mu Lingsha's acceptance of the Night God's inheritance!
At this point, the difference in their approaches was obvious.
While Mu Lingsha focused on strengthening herself after obtaining the Night God's inheritance, Mu Yan's priority was to eliminate her rival.
When all the cultivators chosen as potential successors to receive the Night God's inheritance disappeared, Mu Yan would naturally become the only person qualified to receive the Night God's inheritance.
From a logical perspective, Mu Yan and Mu Lingsha were bound to fight whenever they crossed paths.
It was no different this time around, and many cultivators looked back and forth between Mu Lingsha and Mu Yan.
-To be continued!
