Chapter 775: Beating up the Sect Leader
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Huo Shuangnian did not believe Wang Qinghan in the slightest. It was such an unbelievable coincidence and just didn’t seem possible. Zhongyu Sect and the Crimson Star Sect might not have any enmity, but the relationship between the two sects was not particularly good. They rarely interacted. Why would Wang Qinghan come to visit at such a time? He was certain that Wang Qinghan and the sect leader of Dafang Sect were in cahoots.
“Miss Wang Qinghan, does this mean that the grudges between the Crimson Star Sect and Dafang Sect have nothing to do with the Zhongyu Sect?” Since Wang Qinghan did not admit to it, Huo Shuangnian decided to just shut her up, or perhaps, shut Zhongyu Sect up.
“Uncle Huo, you’re over-thinking things. Zhongyu Sect wants to help Senior Mo Wen, but we do not have the abilities to and have embarrassed ourselves. But let me remind you of something, Uncle Huo. If the Crimson Star Sect and Dafang Sect do not have an unbearable grudge, Uncle Huo had better just concede and apologize. Otherwise, it might end badly.”
Wang Qinghan smiled. She felt helpless against Huo Shuangnian’s “paranoia”. Compared to worrying about Zhongyu Sect standing on Mo Wen’s side, he should be worrying about whether the Crimson Star Sect could afford to offend the Dafang Sect’s sect leader.
“Miss Wang, you are getting more and more humorous. Zhongyu Sect has not improved by much over the years, but they have produced a girl with a sharp tongue. Concede and apologize and the matter will be over? This matter concerns the Crimson Star Sect and others should not meddle. From what you have said, I shall assume that Zhongyu Sect does not have any opinion about this matter.”
Huo Shuangnian smiled coldly. Concede and apologize? Who did she think the Zhongyu Sect was to have the right to tell the Crimson Star Sect to concede and apologize? They were dreaming! Zhongyu Sect ranked third in the Ten Great Sects, but did they really think that they could just steamroll over the Crimson Star Sect who ranked fourth?
Huo Shuangnian did not think that the threat Wang Qinghan mentioned was Mo Wen. Instead, he thought that Wang Qinghan was trying to tell him not to offend Mo Wen because he had the support of Zhongyu Sect. She was advising him to admit his wrongdoings lest the two sects end up in a fight. With that preconceived notion, Huo Shuangnian was almost certain that Mo Wen had something to do with the Zhongyu Sect. Otherwise, Wang Qinghan would not side with Mo Wen.
“Miss Wang, you have come all the way here to the Crimson Star Sect as a guest. We have the responsibility to be a good host. However, the Crimson Star Sect still has an important matter to deal with. I will welcome you properly once I deal with this brute.”
Huo Shuangnian then ignored Wang Qinghan. He turned to look at Mo Wen. Even though he knew that there might be something going on between Mo Wen and Zhongyu Sect, so what? Did Zhongyu Sect truly think that the Crimson Star Sect would be afraid of him? Anyone who offended those from the Crimson Star Sect would have to pay for it.
Mo Wen put his hands behind his back and did not speak. He allowed the Crimson Star Sect to strike. His attitude was one of disdain.
“Shuangnian, step back. You are no match for him.” A voice suddenly rang just as Huo Shuangnian was about to fight Mo Wen. Another person appeared.
Huo Shuangnian paused. He had not expected his father, the grand elder of the Crimson Star Sect, Huo Qize, to come personally.
“Father, he is just a child. He is so arrogant just because he has some skills. I am confident that I can beat him.” Huo Shuangnian felt indignant when his father said that he was no match for Mo Wen. He was the sect leader of the Crimson Star Sect. His father’s words had embarrassed him before everyone.
Furthermore, while Mo Wen was powerful, Huo Shuangnian was confident he could be a match for Mo Wen. The sect leader of Dafang Sect did have a stronger cultivation than him, but the youth’s combat abilities were definitely not as strong as Huo Shuangnian’s.
“Back off.” Huo Qize growled.
Huo Shuangnian paled. He knew that his father was angry. He did not dare to say anything else and moved behind his father silently.
“You are the sect leader of Dafang Sect? You are a young talent. If I am not wrong, you have broken through to the Golden Elixir Realm, yes?”
Huo Qize looked at Mo Wen. His eyes narrowed slightly. He had already sensed Mo Wen’s power when he had struck earlier. Mo Wen had thrown a warrior in the late Embryonic Breathing Realm so casually. He definitely had the abilities of a warrior in the Golden Elixir Realm. Huo Shuangnian, who was at the peak of the Embryonic Breathing Realm, was far from being a match for him.
“Elder, this beast is too much. Please avenge Junsheng.” Fang Jingjing stood in the crowd and glared at Mo Wen viciously.
“You are Fan Junsheng’s elder sister? He’s like that today because you have spoilt him. What is it? You’ve climbed up the social ladder now and are starting to overestimate yourself?” Mo Wen laughed coldly. If Fan Junsheng’s elder sister had not spoiled him so, would he have done something so despicable? Furthermore, he had gotten more and more gutsy and arrogant. Even if Fan Junsheng had not offended Mo Wen, he would have offended another powerful person else in the future.
“You…” Fan Jingjing did not expect Mo Wen to be so sarcastic. She was so angry she was speechless.
“No wonder Zhongyu Sect is willing to offend the Crimson Star Sect for you. You have such powerful cultivation at such a young age. You are indeed worthy of their support. Wang Chuning does know how to invest. If you are willing to join the Crimson Star Sect and become my son-in-law, I can be magnanimous and forgive what happened.” Huo Qize ignored Fan Jingjing and nodded at Mo Wen. The young man was very powerful. Even the most talented person in the Crimson Star Sect could not compare to him.
“Old fogey, you are dreaming. You think you’re wise because you’re old? You are no match for me. Do you think you will be able to defeat me?” Mo Wen huffed in laughter. Was there something wrong with the old fogey from the Crimson Star Sect? The man wanted to recruit him? He was thinking too much.
“You little sh*t. How dare you!” Huo Qize did not expect Mo Wen to dare to speak to him like that. He flushed. He was the grand elder of the Crimson Star Sect, the most respected person in the sect. When had he ever been publicly shamed like this before?
Huo Qize flung out his palms in his anger. A powerful gust of inner Qi rushed into the skies, forming a large inner Qi palm. It smashed toward Mo Wen viciously. The air bubbled and the air within a five feet radius drained away. An attack by a warrior in the Golden Elixir Realm was far stronger than that of a warrior in the Embryonic Breathing Realm.
“Show-off.” Mo Wen laughed in disdain. The man was a Golden Elixir Realm warrior. His way of combat showed that he had not used all his strength. He was trying to look good instead of being effective.
There was no fault in trying to look good. Mo Wen had also killed his enemies swiftly and beautifully. However, it depended on one’s opponent. If one did not even know who his opponent was before trying to attack while looking good, that was a stupid move.
Mo Wen flicked his finger. The enormous palm was instantly shattered. Then, Mo Wen appeared in front of Huo Qize. Before Huo Qize could react, Mo Wen slapped him into the air.
The grand elder of the Crimson Star Sect, the respected Golden Elixir Realm warrior, had been thrown into the air! He moved through the sky in an arc. He smashed through a large stone tablet before falling to the ground.
The entire square was deathly silent. One could hear a pin drop. Those from the Crimson Star Sect watched the scene incredulously, unable to react. Their undefeatable old sect leader had been thrown into the air by a young man. Were they dreaming?
“You…” Huo Qize covered his face as he climbed up. His expression was one of incredulity. How was that possible?
“What is it? Do you not admit defeat? We can have another go.” Mo Wen disappeared from where he was standing and reappeared in front of Huo Qize.
Huo Qize felt dizzy. There was a smacking sound, and he flew back up into the air. He felt a burning pain on his face.
“Who do you think you? Asking me to come to the Crimson Star Sect to beg for forgiveness? You were so arrogant to send out a notice that you were going to destroy Dafang Sect. You didn’t even take a good look at yourself.”
Slap!
Mo Wen slapped the man again. He did not give Huo Qize any chance to retaliate. The old sect leader of the Crimson Star Sect kept being slapped like an idiot.
Slap! Slap! Slap!
The slaps rang through the air without stopping. Huo Qize’s face swelled up like a pig’s head. He did not look like the head of a sect at all.
“How dare you? Stop!” Huo Shuangnian finally reacted. His eyes were red with anger as he crashed toward Mo Wen.
“You’ve bitten off more than you can chew.” Mo Wen slapped Huo Shuangnian and threw him into the air. It was done so casually, it was as if he was swatting a fly.
Wang Qinghan and Little Tang watched the scene dazedly. They knew how powerful Mo Wen was. He had casually killed three terrifying Golden Elixir Realm warriors from the Ghost Lair. However, it was the first time they were seeing someone slapping a sect leader like he was a punch-bag.
It was obvious that Mo Wen was trying to embarrass those from the Crimson Star Sect. It was both physical and mental torture. Otherwise, he could have easily killed Huo Qize and Huo Shuangnian and did not have to waste his strength at all.
Slap! Slap! Slap!
Mo Wen slapped the man again in front of all the elders from the Crimson Star Sect. He did it so swiftly and without hesitation. He slapped both Huo Qize and Huo Shuangnian by himself, throwing them into the air. This went on for a long time, and it did not seem like he was going to stop any time soon.
“How dare you!”
“You’re too much!”
“I’m going to kill you!”
“You b*stard, stop with the violence!”
The elders of the Crimson Star Sect regained their wits. Most of them were furious and did not stop to consider their actions. They joined up to attack Mo Wen.
Mo Wen’s actions were embarrassing the Crimson Star Sect. He had not only shamed the two sect leaders, but he had also shamed everyone in the Crimson Star Sect.
The twenty-odd elders struck together. The scene looked magnificent. It was difficult to find twenty-odd warriors in the Embryonic Breathing Realm in the martial arts circle. Furthermore, they were attacking together right now.
However, the black-gold puppet in the air revealed a white-grey mountain peak in its hand. The mountain peak shone and disappeared from its hands. Then, it immediately appeared above the elders, releasing a ray of white-grey light. It trapped the elders of the Crimson Star Sect within it and they could not move a muscle.
“What is that? It’s so powerful!” Wang Qinghan was shocked as she stared at the black-gold puppet that was suspended in mid-air. She had been curious about it from the beginning. However, she did not expect that the metallic thing would be so powerful. It had trapped twenty-odd elders who were in the Embryonic Breathing Realm in just an instant. It was hard to imagine how such a thing was possible.
