“How many people do you have with you?” Mo Wen looked somewhat interested at Jin Ying. Before this, this woman had only said that she had come over together with a few people from the Vermillion Bird Palace Hall. Right now though, it seemed the situation was not that simple.
However, thinking about it, what she had said was true. Mo Wen did not know about the cultivation of others, but with Jin Ying’s cultivation, even in her current state, she most likely would not have the ability to subdue the spiritual fire.
Normally, spiritual fire born of heaven and earth had a very high offensive ability. No matter how weak the spiritual fire, it would most likely not be subdued by an intermediate or later stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner.
However, seeing that Chen Wuhui and the Sacred Flame Sect sect leader Zhu Lanhuo had both encountered it before, this spiritual fire was most probably not very powerful. Otherwise, Mo Wen would really have not dared to come over.
“You only need to know that without me, it is impossible for you to stand a chance,” Jin Ying said plainly as she raised the corner of her lips.
In reality, if she did not feel that Mo Wen was mysterious, Jin Ying would almost not have considered cooperating with such a person. After all, a mere intermediate stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner would not be useful at all in snatching the spiritual fire. Although Mo Wen’s abilities weren’t necessarily powerful, he was very mysterious. He had methods that others would have never anticipated.
In the fight for the spiritual fire, they did not just need ability, but also the opportunity. Even a Martial Arts Grandmaster would not have absolute confidence in their ability to subdue the spiritual fire. If they could not subdue it, then it would be useless even when captured. Among ancient martial art practitioners, almost no one could forcefully refine the spiritual fire.
But some people who were not necessarily the most powerful were the ones with special methods who could easily subdue the spiritual fire. What caught Jin Ying’s eye about Mo Wen was his mysteriousness and his special abilities. Maybe at the critical moment, he would be the one who had a way to subdue the spiritual fire.
Of course, if such a situation actually occurred, that did not mean that Jin Ying would willingly give Mo Wen the spiritual fire. There was only one spiritual fire. No one would let go of it. Once Mo Wen had subdued the spiritual fire, she would be able to take it from Mo Wen’s hands. She only promised to give Mo Wen an opportunity; she did not promise she would not take what he had obtained.
“You are very confident. However, I don’t like you,” Mo Wen shook his head. From the very beginning, he had no intention of cooperating with others. Also, he clearly understood that cooperating with Jin Ying would most likely not end up well. After all, there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world.
“You rejecting me means that you will completely miss out on the spiritual fire. There’s no harm in me telling you this. The people who will appear this time for the spiritual fire are all the absolute strong practitioners of the ancient martial arts world. Not to mention those at the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm, even Martial Arts Grandmasters will most likely appear. If you do not cooperate with me, do you think you have a chance?” Jin Ying smiled coldly. Even she could not participate in such a battlefield, let alone Mo Wen.
“You have a Martial Arts Grandmaster amongst your faction?” Mo Wen smiled as he looked at Jin Ying. A Martial Arts Grandmaster was the pinnacle of ancient martial art practitioners.
“Did you think that Martial Arts Grandmasters are cabbages?” Jin Ying rolled her eyes. A Martial Arts Grandmaster in places such as the Floating Mystery Dimension was a pinnacle existence. How could they be found so easily?”
“You don’t even have a Martial Arts Grandmaster. On what basis do you think that you can snatch the spiritual fire?” Mo Wen laughed softly.
“It’s even more impossible for you to have a chance of obtaining the spiritual fire.” Jin Ying was already grinding her teeth. What did Mo Wen mean by that? It was as though she was an embarrassment for not having a Martial Arts Grandmaster!
“I have two pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioners behind me. With their help, only then will you have a chance of approaching the spiritual fire.” Jin Ying spoke openly. This time, in order to snatch the spiritual fire, the sect had sent two elders at the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm. It was originally a secret, but right now, she had no need to hide it anymore.
Right now, those that should have and shouldn’t have appeared had already made their appearance. The only thing she did not know was how fierce the conditions for snatching the spiritual fire were deep in the Beast Lair.
“I am not interested.” Mo Wen placed his hands behind his back. His gaze was aimed at the sky far in the distance. He did not say more.
“I dare to guarantee that you will regret this. You won’t even see the spiritual fire.” Jin Ying clenched her fist. She had not expected Mo Wen to reject her repeatedly. Who was he to treat her like that?
Tsk tsk! A faint sound could be heard. The eggshell that was enveloping Yin Banshuang cracked bit by bit. It then became star-like colorful light spots and slowly disappeared in the air. A slender silhouette emerged from inside. The figure was graceful. It was Yin Banshuang.
The current Yin Banshuang had also undergone a tremendous change in ability. Her entire person had an indescribable elegance. Also, a rich Inner Qi wave could be felt coming from her body. Her cultivation should have also reached the intermediate stage Golden Elixir realm.
“You two are quick.” Yin Banshuang had not expected that Mo Wen and Jin Ying would finish refining the Vital Qi before her. From the looks of things, she was the weakest among them. If it had happened before, she might have felt dissatisfied. After all, she was the one who was one of the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension’s Four Geniuses, an existence that had always caught the eye of everyone. Now though, she simply accepted it. After being around Mo Wen for so long, she knew what a true genius was. He could so exceptional he could even be called a monster.
Mo Wen and Jin Ying both had talents and abilities that were far superior to hers. She might be considered one of the Four Geniuses in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, but in the wider world, she was unremarkable.
After some effort, Mo Wen and Yin Banshuang had finally got their wish. As for Jin Ying, she had hit the jackpot. However, that did not matter. After all, there was so much Vital Qi, they could not absorb all of it anyway.
On the matter of the Vital Qi cloud “disappearing” on its own, Yin Banshuang had no comment. After all, right now even if the Vital Qi was placed right in front of her, she would merely be able to look at it. She was already very content with having an opportunity to be reborn once.
This opportunity would mean she had completely swept Jiang Gujian aside. Her future achievements would also be on a different level because of this rebirth. Maybe a female ancient martial art practitioner at the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm would appear in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension in the future. It was hard to say.
The three of them discussed matters for a while and prepared to return the way they came. The damaged area they were in was too dangerous. Anyone with any intelligence would know that this place should not be simply entered.
As they were walking away, Mo Wen was surprised when the crimson gold tail feather concealed in his clothes suddenly released a blinding light. The light connected the heaven and the earth. Its beautiful crimson gold hue was extraordinarily dazzling.
Jin Ying and Yin Banshuang had a shock as they looked at Mo Wen. Immediately, they noticed that Mo Wen had a strange tail feather on him.
However, before they could open their mouths to ask anything, a huge rumbling sound came from inside the palace nearby. The next moment, a white pillar of light rushed out from a mysterious corner of the palace. It shot towards Mo Wen’s body.
In the blink of an eye, Mo Wen’s entire being disappeared from where he had been standing. The pillar of light also withdrew back into the palace. Everything became calm again.
“What just happened?” Jin Ying was shocked. She and Yin Banshuang looked at each other. Their eyes were full of incomprehension.
“He… is most likely taken away by the pillar of light…” Yin Banshuang drew in a cold breath. She was also shocked. If Mo Wen had been taken away into the mysterious palace, how could he make it out alive?
