Origin Court: Accepting Disciples With A System

"Intruder! Intruder! Intruder Alert!"

Voices of the same wavelength thundered throughout the entire city. Their voices were like a huge trumpet whose sound was one and could not, at all, disperse.

Even Yang Lujia's heart jolted the moment they heard this alarm. He had a bad premonition in his heart. However, the old man was looking was already looking at Yang Lujia as though he had seen a ghost.

"In… int…"

The old man staggered on his feet and slumped to the floor in fright. He was choked, unable to utter any other word. He found this matter extremely sensitive. The old man naturally saw that only Yang Lujia's clothes were not glowing. Everyone else in his shop had the Token of Life with them, shining brightly.

Anyone who could enter unnoticed would not be anyone normal. In fact, they must be someone very strong. That was why he hesitated. If he truly showed any intent to report Yang Lujia and shout, then wouldn't he die even before he knew about it?

Seeing the old man's reaction, Yang Lujia could only sigh and looked outside. When his gaze went back to the old man, the latter had already fainted. However, as soon as he took one step, everyone inside the shop shouted and hurriedly went their way outside the shop.

"Intruder! Intruder!"

These voices seemed to have originated from people who were controlled by someone. In fact, Yang Lujia's conjecture was spot on. They were indeed people controlled by the City Life Healer himself.

Yang Lujia only confirmed this when he shot a glance at the highest tower where the City Life Healer was recuperating his injuries. It seemed like the City Life Healer himself was very strong. Yang Lujia was just unaware of the reason why the City Life Healer would collect the hearts or the Tokens of Life of those pitiful beasts.

He knew all along that there was something wrong and had confirmed this so due to the behavior shown by the City Life Healer. However, he felt like there was more to what was currently happening.

"Intruder! State your name!" an armored person ordered.

Yang Lujia looked at his eyes for a while and at the others'. Their eyes were all devoid of expression. It wouldn't be wrong to say that they had long been blind.

"Yang Lujia," he honestly replied. "What is the meaning of this?"

He decided to play a pretense.

"You have entered the city without the Token of Life, indicating you are not a citizen. Hence, we hereby sentence you by sending you to the City Life Prison for a hundred years."

Yang Lujia was shocked by the reply this robot-like man said. He was astounded that he was not even half a hundred years and yet he was sentenced to already five times his age. This was simply inconceivable. At least to him.

He did not dare dally and quickly disappeared from the crowd's sight. Yang Lujia knew firsthand that the City Life Healer must be so confident in taking him down, no matter how strong he was and there should be some restraining treasures there that those people had brought along with them.

Thus, he went directly to the City Life Healer. He had long pinpointed the true location of the City Life Healer. He was actually not on the tower per se. Instead, he was hidden under the tower itself.

It astonished him because if not for Yang Lujia probing more into the tower's secrets, he would not discover the array formation that purposely hid the true aura of the City Life Healer, replacing it with a fake one. This way, if one wanted to ambush him, they would likely fail—but the City Life Healer was not so lucky.

That was Yang Lujia was different.

The only difference was Yang Lujia wouldn't want to ambush him until he knew the whole story and the reason why and when the discord between the City Life Healer and the Life Controller Beasts started.

Could it really be like what those beasts said?

That it was the City Life Healer who instigated and initiated to first attack on the other party?

Or could those beasts be misinformed?

There could still be several factors at hand.

When Yang Lujia appeared in front of the City Life Healer in a flash, the latter still had his eyes closed. After a while, he opened his eyes and was astonished that the one who came here was actually such a drop-dead gorgeous young man.

On the other hand, Yang Lujia was surprised. He could naturally see through the body of another person like they were naked and when he peered into the defenses of the City Life Healer, he knew that she was a woman—naturally not because of her genitals but because of the amount of Yin Essences inside her.

He had thought she was a man and it turned out like the Life Controlling Beasts did not know a word about this as well. However, why would she hide her gender like that? What could be the implication if she revealed it to others?

"You're a woman?" Yang Lujia still asked.

However, the moment he said that the City Life Healer did not say anything and just continued to look at Yang Lujia. "Why can't I be?" she replied, surprisingly.

"Nothing," Yang Lujia said as he shook his head. "It was just surprising. I never thought you were a woman. Why are you hiding your gender? Is there something wrong with it?"

"Yes," the woman replied without any reservations.

The woman then held Yang Lujia in her hand and went to a certain place at a breakneck speed—that even Yang Lujia was filled with amazement. The lady's movement was actually not much inferior to his.

"Where are you taking me?" Yang Lujia asked as his expression changed.

"Where do you think we're going?" the woman replied with a stern face.

She was just like Lan Mingyue who'd remain a nonchalant and domineering appearance. Moreover, although she was dressed like a man at the moment, she basically possessed an otherworldly beauty—which could topple down mountains or even destroy a domain or region.

"Life Controller Beasts' territory? Life Gorge?" Yang Lujia knew that they were going in the direction. He just wanted to ask for assurance.

The woman retained her cold look and did not reply to him. He did not flare because of her attitude. Instead, he felt like there was something more to this woman that he had yet to see. However, if she would try funny things, later on, he would not spare her even a strand of life—still depending on the severity of the matter.

He didn't want to kill as he did before. He had long past that phase of his life in this world.

"Why are we going there?" Yang Lujia asked out of nowhere.

After a moment of silence, while coursing through the air, the woman halted in her tracks and traded gazes with Yang Lujia. She then replied, "What you need to achieve lies in their territory and mine. However, the first step to complete this test is to finish the task left by the lord in their territory."

"You actually know about the matter that this is a test?" Yang Lujia was a bit taken aback.

"I happened to be visited by that lord before and whoever entered the city without the Token of Life, that young lord can only be his son. If not you, then who is? Before that time, there were no conflicts between the two parties, the Life Controller Beasts and the humans. However, as eons went by, the relationship between the two had hit rock bottom."

The woman narrated the story.

It turned out that the woman, who was the City Life Healer, needed the Tokens of Life not for herself but for her people. It was because once they lacked the Tokens of Life, it could only be either they would their lives or they would become crazy in the process. They were many of that kind of people—the latter.

These Tokens of Life were useless to them back then and everything had been harmonious. Not until I showed discord between the two factions and fought with the other party just so we could arrive at this future.

"That lord's intention was very clear. He wanted to use this opportunity to let the young lord to breakthrough by leaps and bounds," the woman continued.

Without the support of the rules of life, those people and even the city would have already crumbled. That included her, who had lived for several years already. Her eyes even told Yang Lujia that she was very tired and was just holding on to something.

It was at that last minute when war ensued and the woman's side lost thousands of soldiers. They were her most trusted aides but they lost against the guardians of the Life Controller Beasts.

"I promised the Life Ancestor of the Life Controlling Beasts before. He wanted me to spare some of them, so I left others without taking into account their strength. Actually, the Life Ancestor was the kindest beast I have ever encountered. However, it was already too late as I already plundered his Token of Life. These tokens of life would naturally help the young lord breakthrough," the woman explained with shining eyes.
