331 Something Happened! (1/2)

Jun Wulei didn't have many friends, but he cherished every friend that he had identified with. Therefore, he didn't wish Demoness Gong to be in deep water. However, Demoness Gong didn't take his advice. She gave him an evil smile and shook her head before transforming into a streak of light. Then, she disappeared from the altar into the passage after Mo Wen. Jun Wulei sighed as he also transformed into a streak of light before leaving the forbidden land. He didn't intend to stay in this terrifying place for a moment longer.

There wasn't anyone standing guard outside the passage. Mo Wen swept his eyes across the surroundings and found no one at all. However, he gave out a cold laugh and cast a look at the ground. He ascertained a passage before disappearing into it in a flash.

Outside the Dafang Grotto, a cyan figure came out of cave number four and rushed to a high mountain. It seemed to be in a hurry, as if there were an urgent matter to attend to.

He hadn't run too far before a white figure emerged from cave number four. Without any hesitation, he followed behind that person, constantly closing the gap between them. After a few flashes, he caught up with that person.

”In a rush to divulge a secret?” A taunting voice suddenly resounded from behind. That cyan figure had a shock and nearly knocked into a tree. He quickly swerved to the side, brushing past the tree trunk. Then, he drifted to the ground smoothly as his eyes roved anxiously across the surroundings. That voice just now seemed to appear from nowhere and was so close to him, yet he hadn't detected him at all.

”I'm here. You don't need to search any further.” Mo Wen walked out with a smile and looked mischievously at that old man in cyan. Previously, when he was in the forbidden land, he could feel that something was wrong. Since the Jiang Clan knew his strength well enough, how could they send only a few normal disciples to guard the forbidden land?

After that, he indeed discovered that someone who was in hiding had left immediately after he appeared, so he reckoned that the person must be going back to the Jiang Clan to report his appearance. Those normal disciples of the Jiang Clan were merely cannon fodder sent to confuse him.

”Mo Wen, how did... you…” That person glanced at Mo Wen with a sudden tinge of terror in his eyes. He hadn't expected Mo Wen to detect his existence and even follow behind him.

He was not Jiang Clan's small fry, so he naturally knew the terror of Mo Wen. Although he was only a youngster, he had been able to kill the Sect Grand Elder of the Dafang Sect. One could imagine how terrifying he was. Almost instantly, the arms and legs of the old man in cyan turned clammy, and he didn't dare to make any move.

”Relax. You are merely a small fry. If I am satisfied with your answers, perhaps I'll spare you.” Mo Wen curled his lips into a smile and strolled to the front of the old man in cyan. This person's Cultivation was high, but he was merely in the Qi Nucleation realm, so Mo Wen naturally didn't care too much about it.

”What do you want to know…” That person swallowed and moved a step back while looking nervously at Mo Wen.

”Dafang Sect's Leader Selection has ended?” Mo Wen asked stoically. Although he had obtained the Sect Leader's Insignia, the Jiang Clan wouldn't have waited for him to take over the Sect Leader's position after more than ten days had passed.

”It has already ended.” The old man in cyan nodded and answered the question earnestly.

”The Jiang Clan took over as Sect Leader of the Dafang Sect?” Mo Wen asked with a mischievous smile.

Only when one had obtained the Sect Leader's Insignia from the forbidden land, was one eligible to be the Sect Leader of the Dafang Sect. If they were to arrange someone casually, that was a violation of the Dafang Sect's rules set by the ancestors. However, it was not surprising to him that the people of the Jiang Clan would violate the rules.

”It's… Jiang Mingyun of the Jiang Clan who took over the Sect Leader's position…” The old fellow's body tensed, as he was afraid that Mo Wen would kill him in his rage. According to the rules, Mo Wen should be the candidate who took over the Sect Leader's position.

The Jiang Clan had suffered a great loss in the fight at the forbidden land. Five young geniuses were dead, and even the Sect Grand Elder, Jiang Quanfu, had also been killed. Jiang Mingyun was not outstanding and didn't have Cultivation in the Qi Nucleation realm. However, as the Jiang Clan didn't have any other better candidates, he was selected.

In the history of the Dafang Sect, it was the first time there was a Sect Leader who was not in the Qi Nucleation realm. The Jiang Clan had violated another rule set by the ancestors.

Mo Wen nodded slightly. ”Alright. Last question. How's Wang Yinru's situation now?” Since a person from the Jiang Clan had taken over the Sect Leader's position, it meant that Wang Yinru hadn't won the fight against the Jiang Clan. Reasonably speaking, Jiang Quangui shouldn't be her match. Could there have been some mishaps along the way?

”She… She…” That person appeared so horrified that he couldn't utter a single word. It was not that he didn't know, but he didn't dare tell.

”What's the situation?” Mo Wen furrowed his brows slightly and emitted a terrifying aura which enveloped that old man in cyan. He felt something was wrong. Could something bad have happened to Wang Yinru? That shouldn't be possible! With her Cultivation, who else in the Dafang Sect could do anything to her?

The old man in cyan basically hadn't answered Mo Wen's question, as he knew that if Mo Wen were to know Wang Yinru's situation, he would have torn him apart at once. Hence, he decisively turned around in an attempt to escape. If luck had been on his side, perhaps he would have been able to escape from the clutches of this terrifying youngster.

”You're digging your own grave!” Mo Wen quipped while pointing his finger. A streak of terrifying golden light flashed. The next moment, the body of that old man in cyan, who had fled dozens of meters in the blink of an eye, stiffened before falling onto the floor. A big hole the size of a fist appeared in his chest with all the internal organs burned into ashes. An ancient martial art practitioner in the Qi Nucleation realm had died instantly at Mo Wen's hands.

Mo Wen hadn't spared the person, as he realized that something must have happened to Wang Yinru. He would naturally discover what that was when he reached the Dafang Sect. In just a few blinks of an eye, Mo Wen's figure had disappeared from his original position and rushed frantically in the direction of the Dafang Sect. As he was worried, he didn't want to delay a single moment.
