680 Mo Wen Gets Chosen (1/2)

”Congratulations. You have completed the task.” The voice of the Tower Spirit sounded in Mo Wen's mind. The next moment, a light flashed and Mo Wen disappeared from the valley. Before he knew it, he had been returned to the altar.

There was already a person standing there. It was a woman in a white robe. It was Nangong Mingzhu.

She gave Mo Wen a sideways glance. ”This time, I am first,” she said. She lowered her gaze and did not say anything else. She wore her look that kept everyone at bay.

Mo Wen had not expected that Nangong Mingzhu would be competing with him over this. He smiled indifferently but did not say anything.

He did not know how powerful Nangong Mingzhu's abilities were, but killing ten Lord monstrous beasts obviously had not troubled her. He was not surprised that she was the first to come out.

Mo Wen had just arrived back at the altar when another light flashed. Tan Qiyue walked out.

Tan Qiyue clearly had not expected that Mo Wen would complete the task before him. He looked at him with some surprise. Although he had not worked at his fastest speed when killing the monstrous beasts, neither had he intentionally slowed down. Obviously, the speed at which Mo Wen had killed the monstrous beasts was faster than his.

”Heroes are born young. No wonder there is a saying that as in the Chang Jiang River, the waves behind drive on those ahead, so each new generation excels the last one.” Tan Qiyue smiled as he nodded at Mo Wen.

”Senior, you praise me too much,” Mo Wen said with a smile.

”I have not seen a youth as talented as you for many years. If we have the chance, we should have a nice long chat over drinks.”

A light flashed and the fourth person walked out. What surprised Mo Wen was that the fourth person was not the leader of the Ghost Lair, Chu Yuan. Instead, it was Gao Hanshan. Not long after Gao Hanshan arrived back on the altar, Lan Zhongzhi also walked out.

As long as the person arrived back at the altar within fifteen minutes, they had completed the task.

After waiting for another five minutes, Chu Yuan, who was dressed in black robes, came walking out slowly. He did not look at anyone. He went to stand in a corner, immediately closing his eyes for a rest.

Six people now stood on the altar. As expected, only Bu Xingyi had yet to come out.

Mo Wen frowned slightly. If Bu Xingyi dropped the ball again, Mo Wen could not help him even if he wanted to. Obviously, this place did not allow others to head over and assist.

Time passed slowly. The fifteen minutes were about to end, and Bu Xingyi still showed no signs of coming out.

”Trash!” Chu Yuan had been silent the whole time but now could not help but curse under his breath. If Bu Xingyi did not pass this stage, then all their previous efforts would have been in vain.

Gao Hanshan, Lan Zhongzhi, and the others also frowned. Their expressions were all somewhat anxious. This was about the success or failure of all human ancient martial art practitioners. It did not allow for any mishaps.

Only Nangong Mingzhu remained calm. It did not seem as if she cared much about the task at all.

The fifteen minutes came to an end. Bu Xingyi had not appeared.

Mo Wen sighed, shaking his head slightly.

Gao Hanshan, Lan Zhongzhi and the rest also sighed. They knew that they had failed the task.

”Human Warrior Bu Xingyi was unable to kill all the monstrous beasts within the allotted time. Task failed.” The voice of the Tower Spirit sounded from the void. Next, a circle of light appeared on the altar. Bu Xingyi walked out with a despondent look. He kept his head down, not having the courage to look anyone in the eye.

He had given it his all, but how could he kill ten Lord monstrous beasts within fifteen minutes without a profound level weapon?

”This is all Mo Wen's fault. I asked him to lend me a profound level weapon, and he stubbornly refused.”

Seemingly feeling that the surrounding gazes aimed at him were unfair Bu Xingyi could not help but say this. He had given it his all. What could he do if they all had profound level weapons and he did not?

”As expected of the Ming Temple's Sect Grand Elder. Your own ability is subpar, and you are instead blaming this youth. Later, I want to ask whether all the Ming Temple's Sect Grand Elders are like this,” Gao Hanshan said with a cold smile. At this moment, Bu Xingyi was actually still blaming Mo Wen.

Right now, even the gaze that Lan Zhongzhi aimed at Bu Xingyi was somewhat sullen. The behavior of the Ming Temple's Sect Grand Elder was extremely unbecoming. If he failed, he failed. It was only a matter of lack of skill. But right now, he actually still wanted to find excuses and was still blaming others for not lending him treasures. It was disgraceful.

As an ancient martial art practitioner who was also from the Floating Mystery Dimension, Lan Zhongzhi felt ashamed.

Before this, there had always been rumors that this Ming Temple's Third Sect Grand Elder's had poor conduct and a sinister character. He was said to have a tendency to ambush people from behind. Lan Zhongzhi would never have imagined that Bu Xingyi's conduct was actually even poorer than had been rumored. It seemed as though he did not have any strength of character at all.

”You are called Bu Xingyi, right? I'll remember that. If I have the chance in the future, I will certainly send you to your death,” Tan Qiyue said as he looked at Bu Xingyi coldly. Clearly, what he had said before this was not a joke.

Bu Xingyi felt a chill down his spine. Being marked by a second realm Martial Arts Grandmaster strong practitioner was an uncomfortable feeling. Tan Qiyue actually really wanted to kill him.

”Old thing, if you dare kill me, the Ming Temple will certainly not let you go,” Bu Xingyi said with a guilty look. After knowing that Sect Great Elder Qiao had died at the hands of this person, he was truly afraid.

”The Ming Temple?” Tan Qiyue laughed coldly. He said, ”You are not the first person that I will have killed from the Ming Temple. You are also not the second, and you will not be the last.”
