”You people of Intentionless Sect can't even fend for yourself. It looks like you don't have a choice anyway,” Mo Wen said serenely. He had never imagined that a sect which had been independent for hundreds of years would immediately reject him. It felt too unreal.
Even though they wanted to protect the Ming Clan's influence and had the intention of rebuilding the Ming Clan to its former glory, they treated the acknowledgment of him as the Supreme Sect Leader as an entirely different case altogether.
”You are actually right. It is possible that Intentionless Sect would not exist anymore. Indeed, we do not have a choice. But you coming over to Intentionless Sect at such a time seems a little meaningless.” Chen Zikuang laughed bitterly. He did not think much of the aspirations of rebuilding the Ming Clan. Currently, the entire sect had been wiped out including its roots. Essentially nothing existed anymore.
”If I can help your Intentionless Sect to continue to exist, will you still think that I am not competent?” Mo Wen asked calmly.
”You can go against Sacred Flame Sect?” Chen Zikuang looked at Mo Wen doubtfully. He was different from the others as he had at least some understanding of Mo Wen. He knew that Mo Wen's natural talents were rather good. Moreover, he had Cultivated the Ming Clan's Divine Techniques so he enjoyed exceptional natural advantages. However, he was still so young and did not have sufficient experience. Moreover, his Cultivation did not seem all that brilliant. Chen Zikuang was indeed doubtful of Mo Wen's ability to save Intentionless Sect at such a point in time.
Although Mu Liao had previously praised Mo Wen in many aspects, he could not rely on things that he had yet to witness. Moreover, Mu Liao was not especially credible since he had such an amazing imagination.
It was such a joke for a youth of only the Qi Nucleation realm being able to defeat Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioners so easily.
”Can you heal father's injuries?” Chen Zikuang's eyes were shining as he fixed his gaze on Mo Wen.
”Perhaps. You should know that the Ming Clan has always had a medical heritage. Since I am a successor of the Ming Clan, I am naturally very adept with medical techniques,” Mo Wen said calmly. He had randomly pulled out a reason. The Ming Clan indeed had a history of medicine and all the past generations had produced miracle physicians. Hence, there was no reason to doubt his words.
”Even if you are able to cure my father's illness and injuries, Intentionless Sect can only persevere for another week. I believe that Sacred Flame Sect would not want to drag things on. So how would you be able to save Intentionless Sect?” Chen Zikuang sighed deeply as he locked eyes with Mo Wen.
In reality, he did not have much confidence in Mo Wen being able to cure his father; he was actually very clear that his father's illness was too unorthodox and serious. He had not cared about the cost of calling for a great master in medical techniques from the Medical Sect. However, there was still nothing that could be done.
Even if this youth had inherited teachings of the Ming Clan and cultivated medical techniques, he was still too young. His medical techniques may not be very advanced and could even be worse than those of the great master they had invited. If it had been an average injury which was easy to treat, Intentionless Sect which was hundreds of years old would not be at their wit's end.
”I can drag out the time for about another one week against Sacred Flame Sect.”
”You can do that?” Chen Zikuang looked at Mo Wen doubtfully. This youth was too confident. He was so confident that things felt a little unreal. The entire Intentionless Sect had been rendered helpless so how was it possible that he could do it?
”Deputy Sect Leader Chen, you just have to sit back and watch. Currently, you have no other choice.” Mo Wen smiled. Naturally, he would not have come to Intentionless Sect without reason. If he had come during normal times, it would not have been as easy for him to take over Intentionless Sect.
”You are right, Intentionless Sect does not have a choice at this time.” Chen Zikuang nodded his head. He finally understood a little why Mo Wen had chosen to come to Intentionless Sect at such a time. After he thought about it, curiosity welled up inside him. This youth did not appear to be simply a youth no matter how he looked at him. He was actually genuinely convinced by Mo Wen's courage, confidence, and determination.
”I am never aimless when doing things. I am sure you know of the conditions as well. If I am able to get Intentionless Sect out of trouble, Intentionless Sect will belong to me in the future,” Mo Wen said calmly.
”I naturally understand. If you are able to do so, it doesn't matter if Intentionless Sect becomes yours. Intentionless Sect will respect a Supreme Sect Leader with genuine abilities,” Chen Zikuang replied serenely. Initially, Intentionless Sect had wanted to seek out Mo Wen to test him. If he could pass the test, they would be able to make a decision. If Mo Wen was able to save Intentionless Sect from its current situation, there was naturally no need to test or question Mo Wen's abilities.
”Please allow me to meet with Sect Leader Chen Wuhui,” Mo Wen said directly.
”Come with me.” Chen Zikuang made a gesture before taking huge strides towards an area of the palace.
After turning four to five corners, Mo Wen and Chen Zikuang came to a sleeping quarter. Inside the sleeping quarter were quite a number of butlers and maids. They were all busy running about. Inside was a bed and on it lay an old man in a white sleeping gown. The old man's beard and hair had all turned white. His face was ashen and his lips were purple while his glabella was black. His aura was very weak.
A middle-aged person was seated on a chair by the side and there was a medicine kit beside him. Upon seeing Chen Zikuang walk over, he immediately stood up.
”Sect Leader Chen, you have come.” The man bowed towards Chen Zikuang.
