739 Freezing The Entire City (2/2)
”Huh?” Mo Wen turned to look. The person was dressed in grey robes which enveloped his entire body. His face was covered, and Mo Wen could not tell who it was. However, this person clearly recognized him.
The person's cultivation was not low; it was at the pinnacle of the Embryonic Breathing Realm. In a short while, he had flown to the city walls. However, when he was a hundred meters away from the city walls, his body suddenly trembled, and he was frozen to the spot in an instant. A layer of black ice crystals covered his body.
Within a radius of a hundred meters of Mo Wen, it was too cold. Even with this cultivation, this person could not withstand it. He suspected that he would be completely frozen to death if he got any closer to Mo Wen.
”Young master Mo, I am Zou Guangbo. We have met before,” Zou Guangbo shouted hurriedly. His eyes were filled with astonished pleading as he looked at Mo Wen. It was terrifying. Since when had young master Mo become powerful to this extent? It was beyond Zou Guangbo's imagination.
”So, it was you.” A light flashed in Mo Wen's eyes. With a wave of his hand, the Cold Qi around Zou Guangbo's body immediately disappeared. A pulling force enveloped his body, instantly dragging him to Mo Wen's side.
Mo Wen indeed recognized Zou Guangbo. He was the branch leader of the Intentionless Sect that was in charge of external affairs. When Mo Wen first came to the Intentionless Sect, he had encountered him together with Chen Zi. From his voice, it did seem to be Zou Guangbo. However, his current situation didn't seem to be healthy. Otherwise, he wouldn't need to sneak around.
”Young master Mo, I never thought that I would see you again. However, you shouldn't have come.” Zou Guangbo laughed bitterly. He slowly removed the scarf that covered his face and revealed the features of a middle-aged man. However, they were not the features of Zou Guangbo that Mo Wen recognized. But after Zou Guangbo wiped his face for a while, the familiar face could finally be seen.
”Disguise technique.” Mo Wen looked at Zou Guangbo in astonishment. He had never thought that Zou Guangbo would be proficient in an eccentric technique such as the disguise technique.
”Young master Mo, I have remained hidden in the city for five days. I am glad to see you again, but you really should not have come.” Zou Guangbo sighed softly. His disguise technique had allowed him to evade the worst, and he had not been captured. However, he was still trapped within Intentionless City, forced into hiding and living in fear every day. With his position in the Intentionless Sect, those people would certainly not let him go. Sooner or later, they would find him. Hence, when he saw Mo Wen, he simply stopped hiding. After all, the way he was living now was not necessarily better than dying.
”Why shouldn't I have come?” Mo Wen asked plainly.
”You don't know?” Zou Guangbo looked at Mo Wen with a strange gaze. Everyone in the entire Green Ancient Mystery Dimension most likely already knew about this matter. How could Mo Wen possibly not know? Even if he did not know, he would surely have heard about it on the way back to Intentionless City?
”Tell me.” After Mo Wen had left the Fighting Spirit Tower, he had rushed back to Intentionless City as fast as he could. Along the way, there had been no time at all to gather information. He was not very clear on what had happened in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. However, he had guessed correctly that something must have happened to the Intentionless Sect.
”Young master Mo, since you have arrived, you most likely will not be able to leave. All the factions in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension want to capture you,” Zou Guangbo said with a bitter laugh. He had not expected that Mo Wen would not know anything.
”The Purple Qi Pavilion, together with the Five Beasts Sect, the Medical Sect, the Weapon Forging Sect, the Xingyi Sect, and the other large sects announced a bounty to all the other sects in the entire Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. Right now, all the ancient martial art practitioners in the entire Green Ancient Mystery Dimension are searching for your whereabouts.”
Zou Guangbo looked helplessly at Mo Wen. He obviously did not know that he had caused so much trouble. Although Zou Guangbo did not know why the large sects were so against Mo Wen, he knew that it was certainly not something trivial.
”So Intentionless Sect has become involved?” Mo Wen said expressionlessly.
Zou Guangbo looked at Mo Wen. He opened his mouth to say something, but his lips merely moved and no words came out. Truthfully, because Mo Wen had caused the Intentionless Sect to face annihilation, the disciples of the Intentionless Sect bore some level of grudge against him. But before this, if it wasn't for Mo Wen, the Intentionless Sect would most likely have long been destroyed. Hence, Mo Wen did not owe the Intentionless Sect anything. If he told Mo Wen how he truly felt, Mo Wen would certainly feel that Zou Guangbo was complaining about him, hence he simply said nothing.
”How is the Intentionless Sect now?” Mo Wen sighed softly.
”From top to bottom, aside from a few disciples, almost every member of the Intentionless Sect has been captured by the few large factions,” Zou Guangbo said.
”They have just been captured?” There was a twinkle in Mo Wen's eyes.
”Right now, many Intentionless Sect disciples are locked up in various dungeons. The goal of the large factions is to find you. They have already given the order that if you do not appear, they will kill a group of people every day until all are dead. They have already killed hundreds. However, to force you to show yourself, they have yet to kill the upper echelons of the Intentionless Sect. They started with the lowest-ranked disciples. Right now, the sect leader and the various sect elders are still alive.”
”Who's there? Who dares to act wildly in Intentionless City?”
Zou Guangbo had not finished speaking when a beam of white light flew from afar. The silhouette of a person shot over like a bolt of lightning.
”So, it is an old acquaintance.” Mo Wen coldly laughed. From the voice, he already knew who the person was.
