“Since you are already here, then none of you shall leave. I didn’t manage to kill Luo Shan just now which has put me in a bad mood, so now I must kill all of you.”
Mo Wen’s face was extremely cold. He waved his hand and streaks of black Sword Qi flew out to cover the entire place. They chased after those people who were fleeing, but how could these people expect to escape from Mo Wen’s killing? In a short while, all of them were dead.
Those martial arts practitioners of the Jianyou Sect already knew that he had the ability to use Soul attack so why would he let them off? Otherwise, all the people in the entire Green Ancient Mystery Dimension would know about it in a few days’ time. It was not a time to be merciful. He had to kill to silence them forever.
As for Luo Shan, he wasn’t too worried about him. Today’s matter was his shame so he definitely wouldn’t tell anyone about it. Mo Wen’s ability to use the Soul attack would continue to be a secret. With Luo Shan’s status, naturally he wouldn’t tell anyone about his defeat.
Zou Guangbo looked at Mo Wen dumbfounded. It was clear that the idea that this fellow was really merciful and didn’t like killing was simply not true. Looking at all the cadavers on the floor and Mo Wen who had a faint smile on his lips, Zou Guangbo couldn’t help but feel a chill running down his spine, and wished that he could be a hundred meters away from Mo Wen. Zou Guangbo could only think about the fact that Mo Wen had deceived them all.
“Mo Wen, thank you,” Chen Zi said softly as she lifted her face to look at Mo Wen, blushing.
She also had never expected Mo Wen to appear at the critical moment, and to appear before her in such a powerful manner.
“What are you thanking me for? Isn’t Intentionless Sect supportive of me? To help you out of your problem was not a big deal.” Mo Wen waved his hand as he spoke amicably. In actual fact, he was thinking of how to convince Intentionless Sect to be under his command. Those ancient martial arts Sects in the main space indeed paled in comparison to those in the Inner World.
Now, he also understood that the problems he encountered were not in the main space but in the Inner world. The martial arts practitioners in the main space wouldn’t be as good as before with the passing of time and in the comfort of their environment.
That was why Gong Biluo mentioned that even the day that he broke through to the Golden Elixir realm, he must not reveal his identity.
Now it seemed that only with the Cultivation in the Golden Elixir realm that he was able to make a stir.
“Intentionless Sect is…” Chen Zi sighed deeply, looking gloomy. It was questionable whether Intentionless Sect would be able to exist for much longer. Perhaps in the future, Intentionless Sect would completely disappear.
In actual fact, Chen Zi didn’t mention that Intentionless Sect’s stance was merely in favor of the orthodox Ming Cult but not necessarily supportive of Mo Wen. Unless Mo Wen was recognized by the Intentionless Sect, it wouldn’t accept him as the Ming Cult’s legitimate successor, and perhaps wouldn’t do its utmost to support him.
However, with Mo Wen’s present ability and her understanding of her grandfather, he would definitely support him.
However, everything was too late now as the question of whether the Intentionless Sect would be able to survive the present crisis was still a difficult thing to determine.
Mo Wen consoled Chen Zi. “You don’t have to worry too much now. Intentionless Sect has the heritage going back hundreds of years. It naturally has some foundation so it won’t be destroyed so easily. Moreover, in a situation within my powers, I will also help the Intentionless Sect.”
Chen Zi’s eyes lit up. “You are willing to help Intentionless Sect?” Originally, she hadn’t had much hope in Mo Wen, but now after seeing his abilities, her hope was gradually rekindled. She now believed that perhaps Mo Wen would be able to save the Intentionless Sect.
Zou Guangbo’s eyes also lit up and he looked at Mo Wen excitedly, like he was looking at a savior.
Intentionless Sect lacked a martial arts practitioner in the Golden Elixir realm to be in command. This was because many of the elders in the Golden Elixir realm were being killed, causing their strength to be greatly reduced. This youngster before his eyes, who was equivalent to the martial arts practitioner in the Golden Elixir realm, might actually be able to resolve this crisis of Intentionless Sect.
Mo Wen was able to defeat Elder Luo Shan effortlessly, a standard which should have the abilities of the Golden Elixir realm. The more Zou Guangbo thought about it, the more hopeful he became until he was simply thinking of Mo Wen as the Messiah.
“If possible, I’ll give it a shot. If I have to choose between the Intentionless Sect and the Sacred Flame Sect, I’ll definitely choose the Intentionless Sect.” Mo Wen laughed. The Sacred Flame Sect had definitely become his enemy, and the Intentionless Sect might become a helping hand. He naturally wouldn’t give up an ally like the Intentionless Sect. If possible, he would try his best to save the Intentionless Sect. Of course, if the price was too high, he also might not do it.
“We can’t wait any longer. Let’s go to the Intentionless Sect immediately.” Chen Zi was very anxious to go. Mo Wen and Zou Guangbo naturally wouldn’t object to it. Soon, the three of them were once again on their way but now there weren’t any Jianyou Sect’s people after them at all.
After all, after killing so many people, Jianyou Sect’s strength in Panli City was almost reduced by half especially with the death of the Mayor, Xu Zhong, in the wilderness. Who would dare to come after them?
Intentionless City was quite a distance away from Panli City, about five to six big cities and more than ten small cities away. The three of them went on their way continuously without stopping, reaching Intentionless City in two days and two nights.
Intentionless City, as the main city of Qingzhen District, was indeed massive. It was a few times the size of Panli City. The city wall towered into the clouds, about fifty to sixty meters tall. When it was placed in the main space, it would almost be equivalent to a skyscraper.
“This is Intentionless City?”
The three of them were about five kilometers outside Intentionless City. The massive silhouette of the city was before them. In front of the city was a flat plain so when viewed from afar, it looked like a small hill on the land.
“The gate of Intentionless City is tightly closed. The outer city is already in the hands of the Sacred Flame Sect. At this moment, nobody in the city can get out and nobody outside the city can get in. The Sacred Flame Sect has concentrated their power in attacking the inner city of Intentionless City.” Zou Guangbo’s face was grave as he informed them what he knew. In fact, he didn’t know very much. He also didn’t know anything about the present situation of the Intentionless Sect.
He also hoped that the Intentionless Sect was able to defend the inner city and that the Sacred Flame Sect didn’t invade the Intentionless Sect completely. Otherwise, everything was gone.
“There are many martial arts practitioners at the gate tower, and they are from the Sacred Flame Sect. There are also some martial arts practitioners in the Embryonic Breathing realm. If we intend to enter the city, we will surely alert them.”
Chen Zi furrowed her brows. The city gate was closed tightly and the only possible way to get into the city was to climb over the city wall. However, the martial arts practitioners of the Sacred Flame Sect were all on the city walls and were constantly patrolling it. It was basically impossible to enter the city quietly. If they brazenly entered by force, they could count on being obstructed by the Sacred Flame Sect’s martial arts practitioners before they would ever see the Intentionless Sect.
“What should we do now?” Zou Guangbo furrowed his brows. He was at his wits’ end. In broad daylight, even the martial arts practitioner in the Golden Elixir realm couldn’t get into the city stealthily. If they chose to fly into the city, they would definitely be detected by the experts in the city at once.
“Both of you just follow me and enter straight away. Don’t worry.” Mo Wen curled his lips into a smile and didn’t seem too bothered about the problem of getting into the city. If they couldn’t even enter the city gates, they wouldn’t need to think about saving the Intentionless Sect because it would be impossible.
“Enter straightaway? What shall we do if the Sacred Flame Sect’s people discover us? Chen Zi looked at Mo Wen completely baffled. There was concern in her eyes as she realized Mo Wen intended to enter the city brazenly by force again. However, this wasn’t Panli City. This time the city was filled with experts and there would be more than ten Elders of the Sacred Flame Sect in the Golden Elixir realm and even two exceptional experts in the intermediate stage of Golden Elixir realm in the city. With such strength, to enter by force was simply unimaginable.
It wasn’t that Chen Zi was not confident in Mo Wen, but one person fighting against a massive Sect was a little too impractical.
Moreover, she understood in her heart that Mo Wen’s abilities were not unlimited. He didn’t manage to kill the Sacred Flame Sect’s Luo Shan, not because he was merciful and soft-hearted, but there must be some other reason. If that had happened when he was facing one martial arts practitioner, what would happen when he faced more than ten of them?
Zou Guangbo didn’t feel right. Mo Wen might have the ability to protect himself but he and Chen Zi were simply courting death if they entered the city by force,
“Don’t worry. Just follow me. The Sacred Flame Sect’s people definitely won’t detect you.” Mo Wen cast a look at the city wall in the distance as he curled his lips to a smile. He was not a fool. Naturally, he wouldn’t be foolish enough to enter the city by force. He didn’t even intend to face one martial arts practitioner in the Golden Elixir realm, let alone a group of them, as killing a martial arts practitioner in the Golden Elixir realm was too difficult. Furthermore, there were exceptional experts in the intermediate stage of the Golden Elixir realm in the city.
Chen Zi and Zou Guangbo looked at each other and nodded one after another. They chose to believe in Mo Wen at this moment as this youngster had created many miracles. Furthermore, they didn’t have a reason not to believe him. There was no alternative.
Mo Wen meandered to the city gate while Chen Zi and Zou Guangbo followed behind him. Both of them were very nervous so they gripped their hands tightly as they stared at the martial arts practitioners on the gate tower without blinking. They moved forward cautiously as they were afraid that Sacred Flame Sect would detect them.
The southern city gate of the Intentionless City was flat land and the area was very spacious so even at a distance of one kilometer, one could see the figures below the city wall. It was basically impossible to hide.
However, a weird situation happened. The three of them had already walked five hundred meters below the city wall, yet none of those martial arts practitioners on the city wall detected them. Chen Zi and Zou Guangbo began to consider the possibility that they were blind.
As they moved forward, Chen Zi was puzzled as she fixed her eyes on the martial arts practitioners on the city wall, none of them noticing them. In the end, as they walked, she even started to think that she had become air. The closer they got to the city wall, the more relaxed she was. Chen Zi glanced at Mo Wen and felt that Mo Wen was extremely mystical, in order for such a strange incident as this to occur.
However, Zou Guangbo felt that Mo Wei was becoming too peculiar; he was simply not a human. If Mo Wen were to call himself a monster at this moment, he would definitely believe it.
The corners of Mo Wen’s mouth were curled as he swaggered his way in front, completely openly and above board. He held a white token-shaped thing in his hand. That was the ancient Invisible Talisman he received from the Dafang Sect’s treasure trove.
With the Invisible Talisman, one of the outrageous Immortals’ treasures, not only those normal martial arts practitioners who were guarding the city gate, but also the martial arts practitioners in the Golden Elixir realm, wouldn’t be able to detect them, regardless of the distance.
