578 An Unexpected Appearance (2/2)
Initially, Intentionless Sect had been the first to discover the treasure of Luofeng Sect and should have been able to obtain it easily. However, they did not expect that things would be so tough in the limestone cave. They had all almost lost their lives inside it.
Because of the chaos that the few of them had caused, more and more ancient martial art practitioners had found out about the treasures. They did not know when the news had leaked out but within an hour, more than a hundred people had gathered in the cave.
With so many people now present Chen Zikuang was afraid that, even if they were actually able to obtain the treasure, Intentionless Sect would not even be able to get a share.
Moreover, the treasure of Luofeng Sect was not that easy to obtain. So many ancient martial art practitioners were gathered but no one dared to make a rash move.
Chen Zikuang knew of Mo Wen's abilities. Although his battle abilities were not strong, if he worked with and complemented the power of others, they would not even have to fear a later stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art master, let alone an ancient martial art practitioner with the intermediate stage of the Golden Elixir realm.
There were so many ancient martial art practitioners in the limestone cave and there were some very strong sects around. If they did not have Mo Wen around, Intentionless Sect would not be able to establish an edge over others.
”Let's hope he'll be able to get here quickly,” the Sect Great Elder, Xia Qiankun, sighed. In reality, everyone knew that the chances of Mo Wen making it over were not high. That was because they were in the abyss, where everywhere was fraught with danger. They could not even be sure if Mo Wen was still alive at the moment, much less be certain of him being able to rush over within such a short time.
He was someone who had collaborated with Mo Wen before. Naturally, he knew just how much of a help he would be to them.
However, just Xia Qiankun had finished speaking, the rock wall behind him exploded with a roar and collapsed. Huge rocks were flying flew everywhere. Xia Qiankun was taken by surprise and was hit by some of the rocks. Then, he stumbled and fell onto the ground.
It was fortunate that Xia Kunqian was still an ancient martial art practitioner with the Golden Elixir realm. His mortal body was strong and it was difficult for him to get hurt by the usual knives and swords, much less injured by a few rocks. It was just that he had been taken by surprise and was currently a little more haggard than usual.
Xia Kunqian was not the only one who had been harmed from the shock. A large number of rocks were flying about and a lot of people in the area had been hit by them.
”Who is that! Come out right now.” Xia Kunqian flew into a rage. There were actually people who dared to do such things. It was simply too much. They didn't even respect him, the Sect Great Elder of Intentionless Sect.
”Sect Elder Xia, why are you so angry?” Under the pile of broken stones, a soft laugh erupted. The sound was warm and gentle, and it made them feel very comfortable. The sound was clearly coming from someone who was not very old. However, there was a degree of persuasiveness in the voice and it made one feel inexplicably comfortable.
”Mo Wen!” Xia Kunqian's body shivered and he turned to look behind him. There was shock and amazement in his eyes. The voice was very familiar to him. It was none other than Mo Wen!
Almost simultaneously, Chen Wuhui and Chen Zikuang looked over. Their eyes were also full of shock and surprise.
A lanky figure walked out from the huge hole that had been created. He wore a white robe and was dressed in a way that was very simple and refreshing. There were no accessories on his body and he was rather young, only about 20 or so years old. The people in the cave were either old men or middle-aged. Young people simply were non-existent among the current group.
That was because people who could appear in this area were at least of the beginning stage of the Golden Elixir realm. Who would have such cultivation at such a young age?
”After receiving the Sound Resonating Talisman, I rushed over immediately. What happened to you guys?” Mo Wen smiled and glanced across at the three people from Intentionless Sect. He could tell that they were in a bad way and realized that they were one person short.
He had not expected that Chen Wuhui and the others were just behind that passageway. The distance between them had been even less than a hundred meters.
”You really come and go like a shadow.” Chen Zikuang looked at Mo Wen helplessly. None of them had expected that Mo Wen would use such a shocking method to appear before them, at the very moment when they had been wondering if he would even be able to make it.
This was the abyss and Mo Wen had actually been able to smash his way into the cave. Was he not even afraid to barge into a monstrous beast lair?
”Where is our second Sect Elder?” Mo Wen asked.
Chen Wuhui sighed, ”Second Sect Elder has sacrificed himself. Earlier, we encountered a scary monstrous beast and second Sect Elder sacrificed his life to buy time so that we could escape.”
Mo Wen nodded his head and did not press the matter further. ”I have some healing medicinal pills, you guys should have some. You should then be able to recover in a while.” He reached for a jade bottle in his sleeves and poured out three white pills. Then, he gave them to Chen Wuhui and the two others. Those were the Cyan Spiritual Pills that he had concocted. Now that they had a higher level Heart Nourishing Pill, the Cyan Spiritual Pills were no longer so important so there was no need to keep hold of them.
The injuries of Chen Wuhui and the two others were not too serious. Hence, the Cyan Spiritual Pills would be enough to help them recover immediately. They did not need a high-level pill like the Heart Nourishing Pill.
”Thank you, young friend Mo Wen.” Chen Wuhui received the Cyan Spiritual Pill and was impressed by Mo Wen's generosity. Although the Cyan Spiritual Pill could not be compared to the Heart Nourishing Pill, it was still a healing medicinal pill. If he had traded it with another sect, he would have been able to obtain something really good.
If it had been under normal circumstances, he would definitely have felt like it was a waste to eat the healing medicinal pill. However, it was a very crucial time now and as long as they were able to maintain their optimal condition, their chances of obtaining the treasures of Luofeng Sect would be higher.
The other two knew that it was not the time to be petty as well. Hence, they swallowed the Cyan Spiritual Pill immediately after receiving it. Then, they simply sat down cross-legged to recover.
