295 A Mysterious Place (1/2)
Mo Wen nodded slightly. ”Tell me the rules.” Two people challenging a whole sect? He would be crazy if he could relax.
”Every time during the Sect Leader Selection Meeting, the Five Aristocratic Families can each send five candidates, with the conditions that the candidates must have the Cultivation of Qi Nucleation realm and above, and they must be below 40 years old. So with this restriction, a lot of times not all the families from the Five Aristocratic Families can gather five candidates. It is possible to have only three, four, or even two candidates from a family.
”But let me tell you. We only have one candidate, which is you. We have the lowest number in the history of the Dafang Sect. At the same time, it means you have no teammates. Everyone in the Sect Leader Selection will be your enemy.
”The Jiang Clan can send out five candidates that fulfill the criteria. If the Jiang Clan wants to block you, you will have to face the combined assault of these five individuals. Also, the other three Aristocratic Families will have at least two or more candidates participating. The number of people taking part in the Sect Leader Selection will definitely not be less than 15.
”The worst case scenario is if the other three Aristocratic Families join the Jiang Clan's camp, completely follow the orders of the Jiang Clan, and join together to deal with you. Then, you alone will be facing the joint attack of more than ten individuals.”
Wang Yinru shrugged her shoulders as she stated the worst case scenario. Now that they only had two people and were fighting alone, their odds would not be very good. One person going up against a group of people was not the most common of scenarios.
If she did not know that Mo Wen had the ability and could obtain the position of sect leader under such dire circumstances, she would not have brought him along.
In her plan, the most crucial part was not whether they had the support of the three Aristocratic Families, but Mo Wen's strong ability. With his ability, obtaining the position of sect leader was not something that would be too difficult.
Once they had obtained the position of sect leader, with her Cultivation together with Mo Wen's terrifying combat ability equal to that of the Embryonic Breathing realm, it should be enough to deal with the Jiang Clan.
”You seem to think highly of me.” Mo Wen's mouth curled into a smile. A person with Qi Nucleation realm Cultivation going up alone against a group of Qi Nucleation realm ancient martial art practitioners... Probably no one would believe it, but Wang Yinru had treated him as her hope.
”After all, you can only win and cannot lose.” Wang Yinru softly snorted.
...
On a stone tower not far from the square stood two men. One was an elder dressed in white, and the other was dressed in gray. Both of them were very old, but their spirits were still very good. Their entire bodies emanated indescribable auras.
”Are the arrangements in place?” The elder dressed in white looked at the elder dressed in gray beside him. A cold light flashed in his eyes. This person was Jiang Quangui, the Dafang Sect Grand Elder who had left in anger the previous day.
”Hehe, naturally they are in place. I guarantee that woman will not return after coming here.” The elder dressed in gray had an insidious expression. His voice was sharp and unpleasant. His cold laughter was enough to scare a child to tears.
”Since that woman has come forth to die, then we should send her on her way. However, it really is a pity. At such an age, already she has such Cultivation. In the future, she would probably not be below that of our uncle. Why is it that our Jiang Clan does not have such a genius?”
Jiang Quangui sighed. His disappointing son had wasted large amounts of the Dafang Sect's resources and practiced for so many years, but still had not managed to break through to the Embryonic Breathing realm. On the other hand, the little girl back then, upon returning, was already an Embryonic Breathing realm strong practitioner.
The elder dressed in gray said bluntly, ”Since she is a genius and also our enemy, then there is naturally only one way for her to leave - by dying!”
This person was the Jiang Clan's second Embryonic Breathing realm strong practitioner and one of the Dafang Sect's Grand Elders. His name was Jiang Quanfu, and he was Jiang Quangui's second brother. His personality was cold and vicious with a heavy air of hostility. He killed people at the slightest provocation.
”That woman seems to have a son with Cultivation of the Qi Nucleation realm. So young and already at that realm. His talent is probably above even that woman's. You can't help but admit that the woman not only has talent in practice but also in bearing sons.”
Jiang Quanfu began to laugh strangely.
”I have yet to have an heir to my name. That woman has given birth to such a talented son. I am considering whether or not I should capture her and let her bear my heir before killing her off.”
A dark look flashed in Jiang Quanfu's eyes. The gaze he had as he looked at Wang Yinru from afar had a different meaning behind it.
”Younger brother, can you even do it? You've been trying for so many years but have yet to have a son. Now, you want to give birth to a genius?”
Jiang Quangui gave Jiang Quanfu a strange look. His second brother had been without an heir for dozens of years. Now, he was still without an heir. He was already old, and was still thinking about the matter of succession. Sometimes, he was suspicious as to whether Jiang Quanfu had problems in that department.
Jiang Quanfu's facial expression chilled. ”Elder brother, if you keep talking about whether I can or cannot, don't blame me for getting angry.” Other people saying that he was impotent was the taboo of his life.
Jiang Quangui looked at Jiang Quanfu and ignored his anger. Jiang Quangui said plainly, ”That son of hers, from his age, he fits the role. But whether he actually is her son, that would probably be hard to say for sure.”
