478 Mysterious Old Man (2/2)
”So the main city of the Qingzhen District has now become the Intentionless City? I thought the main city of the Qingzhen District was still the Daoyuan City.” An expression of grief flashed in the eyes of the old man. It dismayed him that the main city of Qingzhen District could have changed its owner. It showed how everything was unpredictable and how, regardless of how strong an influence was, it would eventually disappear in the long river of time.
”What!” Chen Zi gasped as she looked at the old man in disbelief like she had seen a ghost. Daoyuan City hadn't been the main city of Qingzhen District for a hundred and fifty years. When Daoyuan Sect had waned, the Intentionless Sect had taken over Daoyuan Sect's position to take charge of the Qingzhen District. The old man before them actually thought that the Qingzhen District was still under the rule of the Daoyuan Sect. ”Elder, how old exactly are you?” Chen Zi asked in shock.
”How old? I seem to have forgotten,” the old man said. He laughed as he shook his head with a sense of reminiscence flashing in his eyes. ”If you intend to go to the main city of the Qingzhen District, it is not too far. Go towards the north from here for about 2.5 kilometers to get to the outskirts of the Intentionless City.”
Chen Zi smiled bitterly as she heard his words. So, they had been walking the entire night in the wrong direction. By going south, they were traveling further and further away from the Intentionless Sect.
There were eight big cities in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. The Intentionless Sect was located to the south. Their present location should be at the edge of the southern part, so walking northwards would get them to the Intentionless City.
It was fortunate that they had seen this village or else they would still be walking on foolishly, with no idea of how long it would take to reach the Intentionless City.
”Thank you for your guidance, Elder. We will disturb your quiet cultivation no longer.” Mo Wen didn't seem to wish to linger so he took Chen Zi's hand, ready to leave the bamboo house.
”Young man, please stay put.” The old man glanced at Mo Wen with some surprise before laughing as a quiet radiance flashed in his eyes.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
As the old man's voice resounded, Mo Wen's body trembled violently and he was frozen on the spot momentarily. His eyes went blank for a moment. However, almost the next moment, Mo Wen regained his composure as shock and fear surged deep in his eyes.
”Mo Wen, what happened?” Chen Zi looked at Mo Wen curiously as she didn't understand why he had suddenly frozen.
”Chen Zi, you go out first. I have to speak to this elder,” Mo Wen said.
Doubts flashed in Chen Zi's eyes. Mo Wen and this old man didn't know each other. What could they possibly have to speak about? However, she didn't say anything. She nodded and walked out alone.
Mo Wen turned around to look towards the old man. Unusually for him, there was apprehension in his eyes.
”As I expected, young man, you are very outstanding. Among the young people that I have seen, disregarding the Cultivation and only looking at the Soul power, there is only one person who can be equivalent to you.”
The usually calm and serene face of the old man was filled with surprise as he looked at Mo Wen. It was clear that he was no ordinary young man. That's why he had been able to discover the old man's whereabouts from such a distance. The old man could tell that, although his Cultivation was not that outstanding, Mo Wen's Soul power was simply exceptional. There were only a handful of people who had such great Soul power when in the Embryonic Breathing realm.
”Elder, you are not simple at all. Indeed you are an exceptional expert in this wilderness,” Mo Wen said calmly. The old man was very strong, so strong that Mo Wen was apprehensive of him. This old man should have at least the Cultivation of the Golden Elixir realm as his Soul power had already surpassed the normal existence of Golden Elixir realm and was twice that of Mo Wen. Moreover, his actual quality was very close to Primordial Soul level. If it was a competition of Soul power, two Mo Wens might not be anything in the hands of the old man before him.
When encountered with this kind of person, if they had an evil intention, Mo Wen might not be able to escape.
”Young man, do you know why I asked you to stay behind?” the old man asked.
”Can it be that you intended to make me a meal?” Mo Wen curled his lips slightly.
The old man looked confused for a moment. Then, he said with a laugh, ”I seem to have mystified things a little. I shall go straight to the point. I, an old fellow, have something that I've always wanted to do but I don't have that ability, so I hope to find a partner with exceptional ability.”
”And you have selected me?” Mo Wen asked indifferently.
”Your present Cultivation is too low. You would be of no use even if I have selected you.” The old man shook his head.
”Since I can't help you, I shall take my leave.” Mo Wen held his hand over his fist to show his respect before turning around to leave the bamboo house. He had absolutely no interest in the matter that the old man was talking about. Even if he had the ability, he wouldn't agree to it.
”Hold on. Hold your horses, young people are indeed impatient.” A terrifying aura was released by the old man. It enveloped Mo Wen instantly, as if a mountain had descended from the heavens. Mo Wen's body swayed from side to side before he froze to the same spot once again.
”Elder, are you going to bully me with your strength?” Mo Wen gradually turned around with his eyes closed slightly. His heart was filled with shock. The Cultivation of this old man was definitely beyond the normal martial arts practitioners in the Golden Elixir realm. He had already attained the legendary pinnacle among the martial arts practitioners, the realm of the Martial Arts Grandmaster.
