302 Fragmenting Space (1/2)
The walls have ears?
The Chen Clan Leader and the Yuan Clan Leader had a shock upon hearing that. Immediately, they looked around their surroundings but did not notice anything.
”That lad must be deliberately leading us on.”
The two of them shared a glance and saw looks of suspicion in each other's eyes. There was absolutely nothing in the surroundings, so how could the walls have ears? It was likely that the lad had seen them talking and was simply scaring them.
A faint voice suddenly rang out in the cave. ”That lad had actually noticed me. He is indeed rather capable.” Almost immediately after, a dark ray flashed from the corner, and a person's figure discreetly appeared in the cave. This person was dressed entirely in black. His eyes were dark, and his expression was cold and solemn. It was none other than Jiang Quanfu.
After deciding to personally go against Mo Wen, he had left the sect and had arrived in the center cave at about the same time as the Chen Clan Leader and Yuan Clan Leader. However, he did not make a move on Mo Wen. Instead, he quietly waited for an opportunity.
Initially, he had not thought that the lad had already noticed him. It had actually surprised him quite a bit. Based on his Cultivation in the Embryonic Breathing realm, the Chen Clan Leader and Yuan Clan Leader had not noticed him at all. Yet, that lad had actually been able to notice him. That was actually rather interesting.
”Sect Grand Elder.” Upon seeing Jiang Quanfu's appearance, the expressions of the Chen Clan Leader and Yuan Clan Leader froze. Immediately, they rose to salute, and they looked slightly awkward. It was no wonder. Mo Wen's previous words were not to deceive them. Their passing of the message previously would not be able to be kept a secret from Jiang Quanfu, who was personally in the cave as well.
”The two of you, guard the passageway well. As for that lad and the woman from the Wang Clan, just leave them to the Jiang Clan to settle.” Jiang Quanfu looked coldly at the two of them. Then, with a flash of his figure, he turned into black silk and disappeared in the blink of an eye. He had already entered the passageway.
”The Embryonic Breathing realm is scary, indeed. He was already so close, and yet we had not noticed him.” The Chen Clan Leader breathed out slowly as he looked at Jiang Quanfu, who had disappeared completely into the passageway.
The Yuan Clan Leader took a breath and said, ”Jiang Quanfu probably heard our entire message just now, but it doesn't matter. Anyway, we are simply playing the supporting role in this. Since the old man is personally taking action, there definitely will not be any use for those b*stards.”
Previously, his message with the Chen Clan Leader had been just to inform his own clan not to go against Mo Wen and to maintain a safe distance after entering that place. After all, after watching the video, the two of them knew that those training members could not possibly be a match for Mo Wen. Meeting him was just like a road to death.
”Jiang Quanfu, that sly old man, is personally taking action. I'm afraid that youth is in a tight bind now.” The Chen Clan Leader sighed with emotion. It was a pity for such a young talent to be killed. However, one could only blame him for not knowing when to hold back, and for being too young and frivolous.
”That youth is not simple at all. We did not even notice anything suspicious. Yet, he had noticed Jiang Quanfu's presence. Perhaps we are indeed not as good as he is.”
A bright look flashed in the Yuan Clan Leader's eyes. Why did their clan not have such a young talent? If there was such a person in the Yuan Clan, they would not have to fear the Jiang Clan. Then they would not have been oppressed by the Jiang Clan for dozens of years.
...
Mo Wen had just entered the passageway when he felt that something was not right. The space in the passageway was not stable. It could be said that it was not a normal dimension. The deeper he walked, the greater the changes in space became. It was as though he was gradually deviating from the normal dimension and was about to fall into a chaotic space. It was like a person walking slowly to a hetero-dimensional space from the main space, walking towards an uncontrolled and unknown direction.
Fortunately, the feeling did not last very long. After walking for a short while, a rippling water curtain appeared before his eyes. After going through that water curtain, he returned to the stable space once again. A brightness gradually appeared before his eyes. Once Mo Wen had walked out of the passageway completely, a shocking sight greeted him.
He had seemingly already come out of the cave, and the scene in front of him was of a wasteland. It was an extremely vast wasteland, just like the Gobi Desert. Everything in sight was bleak and desolate. Occasionally, there were a few stalks of green plants scattered around the area. However, those shocks of green were still unable to suppress the impression of a wasteland.
Mo Wen looked around him and noticed that there was a towering tree behind him. It was at least a few hundred meters tall, and the shade covered a very large area, expanding outwards into the distance. He walked out of the tree hollow, probably in the direction of Dafang Grotto.
Standing below the huge tree, Mo Wen could clearly feel the tree's boundless vitality. Although it was rooted in such a deserted land, it could still grow so lushly for thousands of years.
What a magical tree. Mo Wen looked at the tree in shock. Clearly, there was something not quite normal about such a huge tree growing in a wasteland. The surroundings were all desolate, and there was only this tree that was emitting a thick aura of life from time to time.
He slowly walked forward for a bit, and there were a lot of dried tree branches on the ground. They were all connected and strewn about the ground in a haphazard manner. Long ago, this area should have been a natural forest. However, nobody had known what had happened, but the forest had been destroyed and become a wasteland.
He could be sure that this place was definitely an alternate dimension. It had been segregated from the main space, and one could only walk to this place through the stable space passageway. However, there was something that he could not understand. Why had that huge tree been able to create a stable space passageway and even maintain it for so long?
