667 The Highest Reward (1/2)

Although Pei Fengwu was from the Sirius Mystery Dimension, she had a certain understanding of the entire ancient martial arts world. Regarding Hou Jingfeng, she knew some things about him. Rumor in the ancient martial arts world had it that the Ming Temple was cultivating Hou Jingfeng to become a future Sect Grand Elder. This meant that Hou Jingfeng had the qualifications to become a Martial Arts Grandmaster.

Hence, in the Ming Temple, Hou Jingfeng's position was even above that of normal elders.

Mo Wen killing Hou Jingfeng was equal to killing a future Ming Temple Sect Grand Elder. With the power and tyranny of the Ming Temple, how would they let Mo Wen go?

Regardless of the reason, offending the Ming Temple was not a wise decision.

”What is done is done. Sister Fengwu, thank you for just now.” Mo Wen nodded at Pei Fengwu. Just now, if Pei Fengwu had not appeared and blocked Hou Jingfeng for a while, although he would not have been killed by Hou Jingfeng, Mo Wen would certainly have lost a treasure. He would not have been able to hold Hou Jingfeng off until the Tower Spirit's reward descended.

Pei Fengwu sighed. Since Mo Wen had an indifferent attitude, there was nothing further that she could say.

After killing Hou Jingfeng, Mo Wen's suddenly turned to look at Gong Zhangyan. A killing intent flashed in his eyes.

Gong Zhangyan felt a chill down his spine. His body subconsciously tensed up as he looked nervously at Mo Wen. He had also wanted to escape, but after Mo Wen killed Hou Jingfeng, he did not dare to try. He knew that if Mo Wen wanted to kill him, he would not be able to escape Mo Wen's grasp.

Right now, Mo Wen was just too powerful.

”If you kill me, Yinyuan Sect will not let you go. Aside from my grandfather, Gong Xingyu, the Yinyuan Sect sect leader is also a Martial Arts Grandmaster who is famous far and wide in the ancient martial arts world.”

Gong Zhangyan's body was trembling. He had realized just how helpless he now was. He could only depend on his identity, hoping to draw out some caution in Mo Wen.

”Oh? I've just killed Hou Jingfeng. Why would I be afraid of Yinyuan Sect?” Mo Wen said with a cold smile.

”You…” Gong Zhangyan couldn't stop himself from taking a step back. He felt the killing spirit from Mo Wen's body. His face was already turning pale.

”Mo Wen, let him go. Although Gong Zhangyan has provoked you many times, he has not done anything that is unforgivable. In this space, another ancient martial art practitioner is another chance of victory for us all. What more…”

Pei Fengwu could not help but look at Mo Wen. Although she did not like Gong Zhangyan, she had no grudge with him either.

Also, the conflict between Mo Wen and Gong Zhangyan stemmed from her. If Gong Zhangyan lost his life because of this, she would feel guilty. Although all this was because of Gong Zhangyan's wishful thinking, she had no intention of harming anyone.

”Get lost. Do not provoke me again. You are not qualified to do so,” Mo Wen said plainly.

Since Pei Fengwu had stood up for Gong Zhangyan, Mo Wen would let her save face by releasing him. The question of whether or not he should kill Gong Zhangyan was inconsequential to him. Also, this strange place had strict rules in place to punish him. If Mo Wen killed Gong Zhangyan, he would be issued a further a penalty by the Tower Spirit.

Gong Zhangyan's face turned pale. He had not imagined that one day he would only live because Pei Fengwu spoke up on his behalf.

You are not qualified…

These words kept reverberating in his mind. Every time it reverberated, his face turned paler. It furiously collided around in his mind.

Indeed, what qualifications did he have to fight Mo Wen? Pei Fengwu was against him and he was far inferior to Mo Wen in terms of ability. What qualification did he have to fight him?

In an instant, a feeling of desolation filled Gong Zhangyan's heart. Every man could pursue the woman that he was attracted to but if they were not compatible, then refusing to let go would be shameless.

Mo Wen's words had directly hurt Gong Zhangyan's dignity.

Gong Zhangyan looked deeply at Pei Fengwu. Then, with a pathetic laugh, he turned and left quietly.

Pei Fengwu sighed but did not say anything.

Mo Wen did not care about the state Gong Zhangyan was in. In reality, Gong Zhangyan was the one who was overthinking things. He had decided by himself that Mo Wen was his rival in love and his most threatening competitor.

However, the reality was that Mo Wen and Pei Fengwu did not have such a relationship.

Gong Zhangyan had just turned to leave when a voice appeared in Mo Wen's mind.

”You will receive the highest reward of the hidden task. Do you wish to receive it right now?”

Mo Wen did not think twice, directly nodding to confirm. The highest reward of the task? It must be something extremely powerful!

In the instant Mo Wen nodded, a light descended from the sky, enveloping Mo Wen. The next moment, his silhouette completely disappeared.

At the same time, the same voice appeared in Pei Fengwu's mind. She had obtained the special reward for the task.

A moment later, a light descended from the heavens and fell upon Pei Fengwu. Then her silhouette also disappeared.

Gong Zhangyan walked despairingly into the dark night. The Tower Spirit's voice also appeared in his mind. However, this time it did not ask whether he wanted to receive the reward immediately or not. Instead, it simply gave him the reward. He received three masses of light. One mass of medium grade Unsealing Light, a mass of medium grade Healing Light and a mass of medium grade Recovery Light.
