Chapter 743: Surprising Confidence
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Old lady, if your Purple Qi Pavilion members had not made an enemy of me in the Underground Palace and had not planned to steal my treasures, I would not have taken your most valuable inherited treasure? What you do not wish for yourself, do not do unto others. Now that you have lost your important treasure, you know the pain of loss. Since we are enemies, the treasures I have managed to take are my spoils of war. There’s no chance I will return them,” Mo Wen said. Since it had come to this, it was impossible for him to return the treasures. Also, now that he knew that the Purple Bottle Gourd was extraordinary, it was even more impossible for him to give up such an important treasure.
With a flash of white light, He Xiangyu followed Grandmother Hui Ling and appeared in the square. He was the Tiger Palace Hall’s previous hall leader and a veteran among veterans in the Five Beasts Sect. His cultivation was superb. Although he had yet to break through to the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm, he was not far from doing so. He was definitely far stronger than an ordinary later stage Golden Elixir Realm ancient martial art practitioner.
“Little b*st*rd Mo Wen, so you finally decided to come. You dared to take the Five Beasts Sect’s most valuable inherited treasure, the Five Beast Hoops. I don’t even want to say that you are audacious. You are practically looking for death. You are seeking death! Do you know that?” As soon as He Xiangyu saw Mo Wen, he got rather worked up. He could barely stop himself from immediately going up and slicing Mo Wen into eight pieces and grinding his bones to dust.
The Five Beast Hoops was the Five Beasts Sect’s most valuable inherited treasure. It was the most important item in the sect, more important than even the sect leader. He was the one who had lost the Five Beast Hoops, and He Xiangyu could not bear such a responsibility. If he could not get the Five Beast Hoops back, he certainly would be punished by the sect’s senate. If the punishment was severe, it could cost him his life. This was why he hated Mo Wen so much.
The ancient martial art practitioners in the execution area inhaled deeply. Right now, they finally understood why almost all the sects in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension had joined forces to deal with Mo Wen. This youth had stolen the Five Beasts Sect and the Purple Qi Pavilion’s most valuable inherited treasures! His audacity knew no bounds.
The so-called most valuable inherited treasures were the foundations of a sect. They were even more important than a sect leader, yet Mo Wen had actually dared to steal them. No wonder such a large disturbance had occurred in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. After all, the Five Beasts Sect and the Purple Qi Pavilion were the giants of the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. Once they joined forces and gave the command, no one in the entire mystery dimension dared to not follow.
Right now, the surrounding people also understood that this youth was actually the legendary Mo Wen, the Mo Wen that was had recently become known by everyone in the entire Green Ancient Mystery Dimension.
“Mo Wen has actually appeared! Who would have thought that under such circumstances he would actually risk coming to the Intentionless Sect? It is as Chen Zi said. This youth is a righteous man.”
“That’s Mo Wen? Leaving his grudge with two large sects aside, he indeed is a youth that places high importance in camaraderie. Sigh...”
“Very few youths nowadays have such courage, charisma, and camaraderie.”
People’s thoughts were usually very strange. A moment ago, quite a few people were scolding Mo Wen for being ruthless, and for becoming a shirking tortoise that did not care for the livelihood of the Intentionless Sect. Now that Mo Wen had infiltrated Intentionless City, the crowd was instead saying that he placed high importance in camaraderie. The only difference was that the former Mo Wen bore ridicule and tried to stay alive, and the latter came seeking death.
Even the members of the Intentionless Sect were worked up because of Mo Wen’s appearance. The grudges that they had accumulated inside was mostly dispelled.
In the square, a group of ancient martial art practitioners surrounded Mo Wen. Each one of them had cautious expressions, afraid that Mo Wen would escape from right under their noses.
“I don’t know whether this is seeking death. However, I do know that it will not end well for all who participated in the attack on the Intentionless Sect.” Mo Wen crossed his arms and coldly looked at Grandmother Hui Ling and He Xiangyu. More and more people appeared in the square. All who came were Golden Elixir Realm ancient martial art practitioners. Mo Wen did not immediately attack. He could tell that neither Grandmother Hui Ling or He Xiangyu were the strongest people in the city. There were quite a few people stronger than them. Mo Wen felt astonished at this. Since when did so many strong practitioners appear in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension?
“Such big talk. Did you think that by defeating Jiang Pingzhou and Jiang Jingtao, those two pieces of trash, that you could act defiant and become invincible?” Grandmother Hui Ling laughed coldly. Her gaze was playful as she looked at Mo Wen. She could clearly sense Mo Wen’s power. In reality, the moment she appeared, she had felt how powerful and frightening Mo Wen was. Although Mo Wen did not have any pressure that he could unleash, his powerful aura still frightened her.
She was a pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner, and this youth had frightened her. She already could not be certain of exactly how powerful Mo Wen was. Maybe he was even more powerful than her. Upon this realization, she felt it was unbelievable and was in disbelief. How could a youth possibly have such terrifying cultivation?
“Mo Wen, surrender the Purple Bottle Gourd and the Five Beast Hoops. Making allowance for prior sentiment, we can maybe give you a way out. Don’t stubbornly resist. It is absolutely impossible for you to resist the powers in Intentionless City,” Bu Zhangkun said with a stern expression as he stood out from the crowd.
Right now, Mo Wen was too powerful. Even if one or two hundred ancient martial art practitioners of the Golden Elixir Realm or higher surrounded him, they did not dare to easily make a move. After all, in such battles with strong practitioners, a single moment of carelessness could result in terrible losses.
If they could get the Five Beast Hoops and the Purple Bottle Gourd back from Mo Wen without shedding blood, it would be the best outcome.
Of course, only Bu Zhangkun knew that the goal of the two large sects was not just to get back the Five Beast Hoops and the Purple Bottle Gourd. That was just the first step. More important were the profound level weapons in Mo Wen’s possession: the Cries of Hades Bell and the Dark Soul Pearl. However, they did not dare to simply reveal such a matter. It was best if they caught Mo Wen and then secretly took the Cries of Hades Bell and the Dark Soul Pearl. Otherwise, if the news that the Cries of Hades Bell and the Dark Soul Pearl were in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension got out, it would be hard to prevent sects from the large Inner worlds sending strong practitioners to the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension to take them.
“Give me a way out? Making allowance for prior sentiment?” Mo Wen glanced at Bu Zhangkun mockingly as he coldly laughed and said, “Making allowance for prior sentiment! Aside from wanting to take my things, what other sentiment do I share with your Five Beasts Sect?”
Aside from what had happened in the Underground Palace, Mo Wen had no other interaction with the Five Beasts Sect at all. His interactions with Yin Banshuang had been on a personal basis. How could he not know what the intentions of this group were? Bu Zhangkun was truly thick-skinned to actually mention making allowance for prior sentiment.
“You don’t refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. I am giving you a chance. Later, when your life is turned into a living hell, don’t blame anyone else,” He Xiangyu said with a sinister expression.
“We are all intelligent people. Why are we beating around the bush? Don’t you find it laughable?” Mo Wen coldly smiled. “Anyway, I will not return your most valuable inherited treasures to you. As for the Cries of Hades Bell and the Dark Soul Pearl, the idea of me giving them up is even more unthinkable.”
He directly brought up the matter and openly discussed it, with no intention of hiding anything. Previously, Mo Wen had not wanted too many people to know about the Cries of Hades Bell and the Dark Soul Pearl. But right now, with his ability, he did not need to be concerned about such things. Moreover, the people who knew that he had the Cries of Hades Bell were already spread out among the sects of this large mystery dimension. As for the Dark Soul Pearl, he also did not know how he had completely absorbed it. It did not exist anymore.
“You...” He Xiangyu’s expression turned pale. Mo Wen had revealed such a thing in front of everyone. Initially, he thought that Mo Wen would not mention it. After all, Mo Wen saying such things brought no benefits to him. However, now it was all out in the open. It would certainly be impossible to completely cover up this piece of news. Once others in Intnetionless City knew of these two important treasures, especially the Dark Soul Pearl, they would certainly immediately turn face and take it.
The upper echelons of the Purple Qi Pavilion and the Five Beasts Sect all had pale expressions. They knew what had happened, so they understood what might happen now that Mo Wen had mentioned it in public.
“What did he say? The Cries of Hades Bell and the Dark Soul Pearl? Why does that ring a bell? I seem to have heard about them before. Are they very well-known items?”
“More than just well known, they are practically famous. Their fame reverberates everywhere like thunder...” The person seemed to realize something as he was halfway through speaking. He immediately shut his mouth and did not dare to say another word.
“So that’s how it is. No wonder the two large sects did not hesitate to stir up the entire Green Ancient Mystery Dimension for Mo Wen. Now we know why.”
In the square, there was initially some commotion but it was soon followed by complete silence. One could hear a pin drop. No one actually dared to say another word. However, the eyes of everyone were filled with burning lights of desire.
There had always been rumors of the Cries of Hades Bell and the Dark Soul Pearl, in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. Six hundred years ago, the renowned Luofeng Sect’s absolute most valuable treasures were divine items that could give an ancient martial art practitioner the opportunity to become immortal. For the past few hundred years, it had always tugged at the hearts of the ancient martial art practitioners.
Who would have thought that the rumor had actually become reality? The Cries of Hades Bell and the Dark Soul Pearl were in Mo Wen’s hands.
Bu Zhangkun sighed. He knew that he had shot himself in the foot and fallen victim to his own cleverness. Initially, just a few people knew about the Cries of Hades Bell and the Dark Soul Pearl. They could still keep it under wraps. But now that the entire Intentionless City knew about it, it was impossible to do so.
“You are seeking death!” Grandmother Hui Ling shouted at Mo Wen shrilly and said, “Everyone, charge. Kill him. I want to tear him to pieces and feed him to the dogs.”
The surrounding ancient martial art practitioners immediately swarmed forward, preparing to take Mo Wen down.
“No matter how many people you have, what use is there? Today, I will show you that not everyone is your prey.” Mo Wen coldly smiled. Then, he extended his hand and pointed forwards. A circle of black light with him as the center suddenly swept out.
An unprecedented and unparalleled Cold Qi descended. It was different from before. This time, it was practically a blizzard. A circle of black light covered a radius of a thousand meters. Everywhere within the light circle, it descended into darkness. The entire Intentionless City was covered in a layer of ice crystals without a sound or presence. Ice and snow covered the earth. This time, ice truly sealed the entire city.
