552 The Fifth Level (1/2)

”Who are you?”

The gaze of the woman in blue hardened. She had not expected that the youth would actually bring out a Vermilion Bird ring. If it wasn't a Vermilion Bird ring, instead of an Azure Dragon ring or White Tiger ring, she most likely would never have believed that this youth was also a member of the Huatian Palace.

”Huatian Palace, Vermillion Bird Palace Hall Executor,” Mo Wen said plainly. At the same time, he put the ring in his hand on his finger. The Vermilion Bird ring instantly released a blurry blue light.

”You are a Vermillion Bird Palace Hall Executor? How is this possible?” The woman in blue stared at Mo Wen in shock. Didn't the Vermilion Bird Palace Hall not accept any men? How could this youth be an Executor from the Vermilion Bird Palace Hall? But the Vermilion Bird ring wouldn't make a mistake.

The Vermilion Bird ring belonged to Huatian Palace and it was magical. It was akin to the magical instrument of the immortal cultivators.

Normally, only Huatian Palace Executors could possess and use these rings. Even if outsiders acquired the ring through other means, they couldn't use it. Only the Huatian Palace Executor himself could activate the corresponding ring. So, if the ring didn't belong to the person, he couldn't possibly cause the ring to react. Even if he was a Huatian Palace Executor as well, he couldn't possibly activate another's ring.

”You are a Vermillion Bird Palace Hall Executor?” The woman in blue stared at Mo Wen incredulously. She wasn't too accepting of Mo Wen, even though the Vermilion Bird ring was impossible to fake. It was also the case that the Vermillion Bird Palace Hall had exceptions to the rule of no men. For example, Mo Qingtian was a man who had been posted in the Vermillion Bird Palace Hall.

Even Yin Banshuang looked at Mo Wen in amazement. Of course, she knew about Huatian Palace, but she had never imagined that Mo Wen would actually be from Huatian Palace, and from the Vermillion Bird Palace Hall at that.

”Don't you already know the answer?” Mo Wen said as he nodded his head.

”When did you join the Vermillion Bird Palace Hall?” The woman in blue frowned slightly. Right now, the Vermillion Bird Palace Hall was becoming stranger. If this developed further, in the future, wouldn't there be men everywhere in the Vermillion Bird Palace Hall? Rumor had it that a man had joined the Vermillion Bird Palace Hall not long ago. Now another Vermillion Bird Palace Hall man had appeared.

However, the woman in blue did not treat Mo Wen and the man that had made the exception and joined the Vermillion Bird Palace Hall as the same person. It was because that man was rumored to only be a Two stars Executor. His cultivation was average, not even having the qualifications to enter the headquarters.

As for this youth, he was clearly not of low ability, having at least Golden Elixir realm cultivation. He was obviously a different person from the Executor who had joined the Vermillion Bird Palace Hall. The woman in blue naturally thought that this Mo Wen was not that Mo Wen.

”I am called Jin Ying. What is your name?” Jin Ying asked.

This woman in blue was Jin Ying, the team leader of the Yeyuan team who had come with Pei Fengwu and the rest to the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. Before she had encountered Mo Wen and Yin Banshaung the group had encountered a big crisis in the Beast Lair and become separated.

”Mo Wen,” Mo Wen said plainly.

Upon hearing this, Jin Ying nodded her head. She did not know what the man who joined the Vermillion Bird Palace Hall was called, so after Mo Wen announced his name, she did not think anything strange was happening.

”We were just passing by without any ill intentions. Letting us pass is not too much to ask, is it?” The reason why Mo Wen brought out his Huatian Palace identity was that he hoped that they could peacefully pass through this passageway. The Beast Lair was full of danger. If they could avoid fighting, they would.

”Seeing that you and I are colleagues, I naturally will not disturb you. However, since you are a Huatian Palace Executor, but you have appeared here, I assume that you have come over for the spiritual fire?” Jin Ying said indifferently.

”That's right.” Mo Wen nodded his head, not denying it. In the Beast Lair, the number of people who came for the spiritual fire was too many. It did not matter whether he admitted it or not.

”If you want to obtain the spiritual fire alone, it will almost be impossible. Are you interested in joining forces with me?” Jin Ying asked expressionlessly.

She wanted to join forces with Mo Wen not only because he was a Vermillion Bird Palace Hall Executor, but also because she hoped that she could find an ally outside the four-man group from before.

She and Pei Fengwu had grudges in the past, the two of them never seeing eye-to-eye. Among the four of them, Gong Zhangyan's heart had always been set on Pei Fengwu, so he naturally leaned towards her. If critical moments came along, the probability of the two of them joining forces was very high. Also, Jun Wulei did not seem to have any intention of joining forces with her. So, she had her eyes on Mo Wen. She hoped that she could draw Mo Wen into the team. This way, she could balance it out a bit.

”What do you know about the spiritual fire?” Mo Wen asked.

Right now, he had not even seen the shadow of the spiritual fire. Without knowing the overall situation, he would not be interested in joining forces. Moreover, he and Yin Banshuang still had a promise. The Vital Qi was also something that he could not miss.

”Although I do not know much, I definitely know more than these natives of the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension.” Jin Ying slightly lifted her chin. Her tone and attitude were obviously somewhat disdainful. She seemed to look down on Green Ancient Mystery Dimension ancient martial art practitioners.

Yin Banshuang's expression turned somewhat ugly. As a Green Ancient Mystery Dimension ancient martial art practitioner, she naturally could not stand outsiders having such attitudes. But at this moment, causing a scene would not benefit anyone.

Upon hearing this, Mo Wen nodded his head. Huatian Palace had many crouching tigers and hidden dragons. Many people had huge backings. This Jin Ying had such frightening cultivation at such a young age. Her identity would certainly not be straight-forward.
