473 To The Intentionless Sec (1/2)

”You should know quite a lot about the Ming Cult's current affairs, right?” Mo Wen asked plainly.

”Supreme leader, back then, the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan was not a core institution of the Ming Cult, so the things that we know are limited,” Hu Tianfeng said, while he sighed deeply.

He did not know anything about what had happened in the past. As for the Ming's Cult's current situation, he knew very little about that as well.

However, he did know that the Ming Cult was still a gigantic institution. It was gigantic a few hundred years ago, and it was still as majestic, even after all these years.

”Tell me what little you know,” Mo Wen said.

It was natural for Hu Tianfeng to not know much. After all, Mo Wen knew very little about the incidents in the past too.

”After the Ming Cult disbanded, many ancient martial art factions split out from it. After a few hundred years of development, those factions have been categorized into three major factions. These are the Ming Preservation Faction, the Anti-Ming Faction, and the Neutral Faction.”

He then added, ”The people in the Ming Preservation Faction believe in the teachings of the Ming Cult. They intend to rebuild the Ming Cult and unite all of the believers in the country. On the other hand, the Anti-Ming Faction wishes that the Ming Cult would completely disappear. As such, they have been treating the Ming Preservation Faction as an enemy, and the two factions have been fighting each other for a few centuries. As for the Neutral Faction, they remained neutral.”

Their Ghost Physicians Hu Clan was a member of the Neutral Faction. Over the few centuries, there had always been factions that had split out from the Ming Cult in the past, which were attempting to rebuild the Ming Cult. However, these factions had never been successful.

”The Neutral Faction?” Mo Wen's mouth curled to form a cruel smile.

”Supreme leader, you may not know this, but even though people in the Neutral Faction didn't join in the fight, all of us had to sign an agreement. In the future, if the Ming Preservation Faction defeats the Anti-Ming Faction, the Neutral Faction must return to the Ming Cult. If the Ming Preservation Faction loses, then we will maintain the current status quo. So, you can say that the Ming Cult is still in the hearts of the people from the Neutral Faction.We are just not as extreme as the Ming Preservation Faction and the Anti-Ming Faction in voicing our opinions.”

After he finished speaking, Hu Tianfeng glanced at Mo Wen carefully. As the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan was a member of the Neutral Faction, he was naturally worried that Mo Wen would have ill feelings towards the Neutral Faction.

Actually, the Neutral Faction consisted mostly of small factions that were divided. As such, they didn't have the ability to change the situation, and they were worried that they would be doomed eternally once they were sucked into the swirl of it all. Hence, they had chosen to remain neutral.

”Do you know who are the members of the Ming Preservation Faction and the Anti-Ming Faction now?” Mo Wen asked nonchalantly.

”I don't know much. In the past, the Ming Cult was quite huge. The factions that split out from it are too many to count. As far as I know, the most famous members of the Ming Preservation Faction are the Tianshan Mountain Gao Clan and the Gong Clan. Throughout history, there were a few attempts to rebuild the Ming Cult, and they were all led by these two factions. On top of that, there are the Fei Xiao Sect from the Ten Great Ancient Martial Art Sects and the Chen Clan, which is hidden in the Yin Shan Mountain range.”

He then added, ”Those are the renowned members of the Ming Preservation Faction. Hence, many people know about them. However, there are many members of the Ming Preservation Faction that keep a low-profile, so they are not known by outsiders.”

Hu Tianfeng laughed bitterly. The Ghost Physicians Hu Clan was but a small faction that had hidden itself away in the series of the three big Mountain ranges. So, of course they did not know much!

Back then, there were many splintered factions of the Ming Cult not only in the ancient martial arts world, but also in the Inner worlds. Legends said that, back when the Ming Cult was in its prime, even in many Inner worlds, it had huge foundations and support. Such a massive construct had too complicated a situation for his small faction to comprehend.

”Supreme leader, the Ming Cult's affairs are too complicated. What I know about the splintered factions of the Ming Cult in the main space is limited, not to mention the Inner worlds,” Hu Tianfeng said, feeling somewhat helpless. In front of Mo Wen, he dared not carelessly talk about things that he did not know for sure.

”Ok, you may go,” Mo Wen said.

Even though the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan had lived for generations in the series of the three big Mountain ranges, they had never participated in the Ming Cult's fights. Also, their faction was so small, so it was very normal for them to not know a lot about the current happenings of the larger factions.

...

In an unnamed forest, an elder dressed in purple sat cross-legged on top of a huge boulder. Both of his eyes were closed and he seemed to be resting.

Quite a number of people were standing around him. All of them had respectful looks on their faces, none of them daring to make a sound.

”It is almost time. Why haven't Wu Fanggu and the others returned? Coming out into the outside world this time, their mission was the easiest. So, why are they late?” The elder dressed in purple slowly opened his eyes and spoke indifferently as he looked at the sky.

This elder's voice was not very loud and lacked all emotion. But, the surrounding people did not dare even breathe too loudly as he spoke.

”Temple master, do we wait for them?” a middle-aged man asked as he walked forward and bowed to him respectfully.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

”Send someone to investigate,” the elder dressed in purple said plainly. Then, he closed his eyes again.

After a full day had passed, a scout came sprinting back. With a leap, he landed in front of the elder dressed in purple.

He then half-kneeled on the ground and said, ”Temple master, something has happened. There is a strong practitioner in the Yandang Mountains. Elder Wu and the others have been completely annihilated.”

”Completely annihilated?” The elder dressed in purple suddenly opened his eyes and exclaimed.

A light flashed past his eyes as he coldly asked, ”Who did it? Could it be that the person has the Golden Elixir realm cultivation?”

Unless a martial arts practitioner of the Golden Elixir realm had appeared, there was practically no one who could kill Elder Wu and the rest!

”A Dafang Sect youth sect leader! In fact, rumor has it…” The scout paused for a moment, his eyes full of fear. He then continued and said, ”That youth single-handedly killed Elder Wu and the rest. Word among the practitioners of the series of the three big Mountain ranges is that he has the Golden Elixir realm cultivation!”
