500 Chen Zikuang (2/2)
”Okay, let's not discuss it any further. Let's hear Mu Liao finish speaking. Also, who is this youth? We have a guest and the Intentionless Sect has been discourteous.” Chen Zikuang waved his hand and stopped the few people who still wanted to talk. His gaze fell on Mu Liao and Mo Wen.
”This is a strange matter.” Mu Liao sighed deeply, then laughed bitterly as he retold the incident that happened before this. Even now he had a surreal feeling about it.
After hearing Mu Liao everyone was shocked, one by one frantically looking at Mo Wen. If what Mu Liao said was true, then wouldn't this youth be too terrifying? Just by lifting his arms and moving his legs, he could strike a Sacred Flame Sect Elder, easily eliminating two Golden Elixir realm ancient martial arts practitioners.
Both of these thoughts were enough to send a chill down everyone's spine. In the great hall, everyone was of the upper echelons of the Intentionless Sect. Every single one of them was knowledgeable and had seen many things, but none of them had ever met such a terrifying person. Even later stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial arts practitioners would most likely not be able to do what Mo Wen had done.
”Just now, you said that he is a friend of Zi'er, who asked him to come to the inner city to aid us?” Chen Zikuang stood up from his chair suddenly. His expression was serious. He suddenly looked at Mo Wen with a complicated look in his eyes.
”Yes, he has a token from the young mistress.” Mu Liao bowed slightly to Chen Zikuang. Then, he took out Chen Zi's jade insignia from his clothes and passed it to him.
”As expected, this belongs to Zi'er.” Chen Zikuang looked at the jade insignia in his hand, then his gaze once again fell on Mo Wen. With a solemn tone, he said, ”Your surname is Mo?”
”Deputy Sect Leader Chen recognizes me?” Mo Wen raised his eyebrows. As expected, he had been correct. The sect leader of the Intentionless Sect knew his identity.
According to Mo Wen's knowledge, this Chen Zikuang was the father of Chen Zi. He was the eldest son of the current Intentionless Sect leader Chen Wuhui and his successor as sect leader of the Intentionless Sect. With his status, the fact that Chen Zikuang knew Mo Wen's identity was not strange.
”Mo Wen, I had not expected that you would come at a time like this.” Chen Zikuang sighed. The gaze he gave Mo Wen was somewhat complicated. Up until now, Mo Wen had refused to come to the Intentionless Sect. Chen Zikuang thought that this youth did not trust them and that it would be an age until they would be able to get in touch with him. Who would have thought, that at this most impossible and most surprising moment, he had actually appeared?
”When did Deputy Sect leader Chen believe I would come?” Mo Wen said with a faint smile.
Upon hearing this, Chen Zikuang was stunned. Then, he suddenly laughed and said, ”If I were you, I would not have come to the Intentionless Sect at a time like this.”
”When I go and where I go all depends on my mood,” Mo Wen said plainly.
”As expected, the dominance of the finest of a generation.” Chen Zikuang smiled. If it was anyone else, he would have certainly called them young and arrogant. But he knew that this youth was not simple, really not simple. In the future, he was sure to stir up a storm.
Mu Liao looked at the deputy sect leader and Mo Wen with astonishment. He could not wrap his head around what was happening. It turned out that the two of them knew each other! In his heart, he was greatly relieved. The final doubts in his heart had been cleared.
The people around them were also looking at the deputy sect leader and Mo Wen with astonishment. Their minds were full of questions, but it was not a good time to ask.
”Today's meeting is adjourned. We will discuss the matter on how to handle the Sacred Flame Sect later.” Chen Zikuang swept a glance at the crowd in the great hall, then looked at Mo Wen and said, ”Mo Wen, please follow me.” As he said this, Chen Zikuang led the way out of the great hall. Mo Wen naturally did not object. He crossed his arms as he followed Chen Zikuang.
The two of them, one in front and one behind, walked to a secret room in a side hall. Only after sending off his close attendants did Chen Zikuang look at Mo Wen saying, ”Should I address you as Cult Leader Mo? Or should it be Young Hero Mo?” Chen Zikuang's eyes had a somewhat playful look. He had never expected that after centuries, a Ming Cult heir would actually appear.
The Ming Preservation Faction and the Anti-Ming Faction had been battling for centuries. Every few decades, there would be a huge war. But both parties were not legitimate Ming Cult inheritors, so no matter how they fought, there never seemed to be an end.
Now that Mo Wen had appeared, and had practiced the Nine Yang Divine Technique and wielded the Sacred Flame Insignia, it was an entirely different matter.
”You should address me as Supreme Sect Leader,” Mo Wen said plainly.
”Supreme sect leader? That's not something anyone can become. Only one with sufficient ability has that qualification.” Chen Zikuang laughed. This youth was quite direct. However, whether the Intentionless Sect would recognize him was not a decision that could be made with just a few words from him. Although the Intentionless Sect had always hoped to return to the Ming Cult and restore the Ming Cult to its former glory, they were not people who would blindly make such a decision.
If it was a Ming Cult heir that was destined to be unable to become the supreme sect leader, then he would not be a true Ming Cult heir. If that was so, the Intentionless Sect would naturally turn a blind eye and not recognize his identity.
