142 Hidden Martial Arts Strain (1/2)
”Hidden martial arts strain? What's that?” Mo Wen lifted his eyebrow and asked curiously.
”Hidden martial arts strain is merely a name for a type of people or a type of influence. As the name suggests, it means ancient martial arts fractions which are secluded and no longer set foot in the world. All the ancient martial arts sects that closed their doors and secluded themselves from the world are called hidden martial arts strain,” Zhu Qingyi explained.
He was not at all surprised to see that Mo Wen didn't know about the hidden martial arts strain even though he was from one of them. It was because hidden martial arts strains were merely a general name given by outsiders. But those in them did not necessary know the categories assigned to them by the outsiders.
They seemed to be completely isolated from the outside world. Many people in them didn't get in touch with the outside world for their entire lifetime. They assumed their world was the whole world. Naturally, they wouldn't know about things happening outside and how the outsiders called them.
A youth who didn't know the existence of Huatian Palace with incredible cultivation and profound ability? Who else could he be other than a youth who came out from hidden martial arts strain to gain experience. On the Hua Xia continent, youth geniuses were aplenty, but such a evildoer of a youth was rare. Zhu Qingyi knew most of them, but the youth before him was foreign. He continued, ”Aside from the hidden martial arts sects, there are also the closed martial art sects and open martial art sects.”
”I see,” Mo Wen nodded his head slightly. He had gained some knowledge about the this world's martial arts world. Ancient martial art factions like the Gu Clan Fort and Zhou Clan's Manor house should be considered a strain of the open martial art sects. Otherwise they would not have done business outside and amassed such property.
”Young man, when you are out in the world, you need to learn to follow the rules. You can't bring along your rural forest ways of thinking along. If not, even if you are from the hidden martial arts strain, you will not end up well,” Zhu Qingyi said with a serious tone. He had a great appreciation for such a youthful genius. To have such great ability at such a young age! In the future he had a high chance of becoming an Embryonic Breathing realm top master.
Even if Mo Wen could not reach the Embryonic Breathing realm, his accomplishments would far exceed his. As for him, in this lifetime he most probably would be stuck at the intermediate stage of the Qi Nucleation realm.
”What is your intention today?” Mo Wen asked. He would follow rules with people who followed rules. Towards those who didn't, he would not either.
”What intention can I have? Today I am here just to prevent you from going overboard. Wiping out a clan is no joking matter,” said Zhu Qingyi. He laughed while continuing, ”But it seems I was too late. What you have done now is way past the limit. Killing twenty to thirty members of the Su clan? Most of them were ordinary people! If the Su clan reported this up to the Huatian Palace, then very likely they would send experts to come apprehend you.”
”The ones taking action will not be me. In order to ensure your capture, they will send even stronger people,” Zhu Qingyi said cryptically. ”Everything abides by the rules. If today you had just killed Su Boyu, then the Huatian Palace would surely have not bothered about a personal vendetta. But because you have involved innocents, then that is wrong. Your bloodlust is too strong. Although you are talented beyond measure, if you continue on like this, you will be killed,” concluded Zhu Qingyi.
These words were meant to be some advice to Mo Wen. People from hidden martial arts strains had never came into contact with the outside world. Many times they stuck to the old ways where everyone settled everything with their swords. So when this kind of people came to the outside world, violence was unavoidable for them. If they went too far though, it would invite the crackdown of the Huatian Palace.
After hundreds of years, no matter how strong the person was or how large an influence he had, they could not escape the investigation and censure of the Huatian Palace. The ancient martial arts world, both light and dark sides of it, has never seen a person who could match the might of the Huatian Palace.
