301 Passage in the Belly of the Mountain (1/2)

”But you, as the Dafang Sect Grand Elder, taking action and dealing with the youth Mo Wen, especially during the Sect Leader Preliminary, will cause people to inevitably talk. When word gets out, it will be a joke. It will surely affect the name and image of the Dafang Sect,” Jiang Quangui said somewhat doubtfully.

Sending Great Sect Elder Jiang Youxi to attack in front of the eyes of the crowd before was already breaking the rules. Also, it had been decided on the premise that Mo Wen had killed the two Jiang Clan elders first. However, sending the grand elder to block him now... wouldn't that make their image a little too despicable? In the eyes of outsiders, weren't they intentionally bullying people? Resorting to deceit during the Sect Leader Preliminary was a serious crime against fairness and justice.

”That's not a problem. There is a place without cameras, so for sure nothing will be captured on screen.” A cold light flashed in Jiang Quanfu's eyes. In the eyes of the crowd, him attacking rashly was somewhat inappropriate, but if the crowd could not see, then that naturally would be a different matter entirely.

There was one place in particular where it was impossible to have a camera, so that was the most suitable place for an attack.

Jiang Quangui frowned as he said, ”You are prepared to attack Mo Wen in that place?”

”That's right. That place is a good spot. I can't unleash my skills in the cave.”

For an Embryonic Breathing realm strong practitioner, environments like caves were restrictions. Also, they could not destroy the caves, so he would most certainly hold back while battling.

”That place is bizarre. Even if you go there, there will most likely still be danger.” Jiang Quangui frowned. That place had many unknown variables. It was highly possible for an accident to happen.

”Relax, it's not like I will be going in too deep. Within 1,000 meters, I am confident that nothing will happen. Those preliminary members and the preliminary area are only 500 meters in.”

Jiang Quanfu was not too worried. Although the place was dangerous, it did not affect him much. Otherwise, how would they dare have the Sect Leader Selection Preliminary out there?

Jiang Quangui pondered for a while and then nodded. ”Since it's like that, then carry it out as you intend to.” That Mo Wen was a danger to them to the point that they had to eliminate him. Even if Jiang Quanfu had to face some risk, if they could eliminate this terrifying youth, it would be worth it.

...

In the cave, Mo Wen did not encounter any other obstacle. His journey was smooth, and he soon arrived in the center region. The center region was a vast cave. From above, a ray of sunlight shined in, causing the entire space to be not as dark as the passage.

Mo Wen was undoubtedly the first person to appear in the center region. At that moment, there was no one else in there. The people from the other four caves had not made their way over yet.

He swept a glance around, then without saying a word, found a place to sit down crossed-legged and silently wait.

After passing through the first stage, the second stage would begin in a passage in the mysterious place. When the time came, all of the people participating in the preliminary would enter that mysterious space at the same time.

According to Wang Yinru, that mysterious place and the space that the Huatian Palace occupied were similar. They both were seemingly not in the main space. Instead it was a space that had been split off.

The so called main space was the space in which the Earth's main material existed. According to the Immortal Cultivation world's study of space, the main space was the foundation for all affiliated spaces. Because of the existence of the main space, there could be affiliated spaces.

Mo Wen was not familiar with the problem of these mysterious spaces and only knew crude details about them. However, he also knew that if that mysterious place did not belong to the main space, it was already not simple.

A space that had been split off would certainly have unknown secrets.

After around 15 minutes, piercing sounds suddenly filled the center cave. Silhouette after silhouette began to appear. The people weren't old, at most 30-something years old but not yet 40. However, they had very strong Cultivation. The Inner Qi waves from their bodies were enough to flood the entire space.

There were more than ten of them. Some were injured with bloodstains on their bodies, while some were calm and steady. Their composure was cool, but once they appeared, all of them immediately looked at Mo Wen as though he were an alien species.

A somber looking youth walked out, looked at Mo Wen coldly, and said, ”Humph, so you are the brat that the Wang Clan sent?” His tone was unfriendly.

”Who are you?” Mo Wen nonchalantly asked, but he did not lift his head.

”My name is Jiang Mingxiao. Remember it well, for it's the name of the person who will kill you later.” The youth called Jiang Mingxiao snorted coldly. The gaze he gave Mo Wen flashed with killing intent. He felt it was strange that Mo Wen could reach this place. Based on the clan elder's intentions, by right it was impossible for this brat to appear in this place alive.

Could it be that an accident had happened? Or maybe the elders of the clan had changed their minds at the last moment? Jiang Mingxiao's eyes were full of doubt. Under normal circumstances, when the people of the Wang Clan met those of the Jiang Clan, usually there was only one result, and that was death.

”I've remembered it.” Mo Wen's lips curled into a smile. He nodded in all seriousness. No one knew what his reply meant.
