748 Kneeling and Begging (2/2)
It was because of this incident that Pei Fengwu recognized Chen Zi. She did not know what relationship Mo Wen had with this sect, but since Chen Zi was here, then she most likely had some relationship with Mo Wen.
”Yes, repaying debts of gratitude is a fundamental principle for an ancient martial art practitioner. Whoever makes an enemy of Mo Wen today is my enemy, and has made an enemy of the Maple Forest Valley.” Zong Changsheng hugged his saber. A powerful Martial Arts Grandmaster aura exploded out, enveloping the entire Intentionless City. The nearby ancient martial art practitioners were all terrified as they kept retreating. The aura of a Martial Arts Grandmaster was too frightening!
Even without Pei Fengwu's reasoning, Zong Changsheng would not miss this opportunity to form closer relations with Mo Wen. If they did not have an unresolved vendetta, anyone would try to befriend an ancient martial art practitioner like Mo Wen. No one would want to offend this youth.
Moreover, from the looks of Mo Wen's current condition, if Zong Changsheng did not grab this opportunity, he would not even have a chance in the future.
”Indeed, Mo Wen also saved my life in the Fighting Spirit Tower. At the same time, he is also my Cold Light Pavilion's most distinguished guest. Whoever makes an enemy of him is my enemy, and has made an enemy of the Cold Light Pavilion.” Lan Zhongzhi took a step forward. His body emanated a Martial Arts Grandmaster aura that did not pale in comparison with Zong Changsheng's. Terrifying aura swept up all around.
”Mo Wen has also saved my life and the lives of everyone in our Yinyuan Sect. Whoever makes an enemy of him is my enemy, and has made an enemy of the Yinyuan Sect.”
Right behind Lan Zhongzhi, Gong Xingyu also stood out. His body also emanated a Martial Arts Grandmaster aura, establishing dominance over the entire square. As the Yinyuan Sect's Grand Elder, Gong Xingyu hoped to form closer relations with Mo Wen. It was because, among the large sects present in the square, only their Yinyuan Sect had squabbles with Mo Wen before. He was afraid that Mo Wen would settle the score afterward. Hence, the Yinyuan Sect hoped to use this opportunity to settle their differences with Mo Wen.
Grandmother Hui Ling, He Xiangyu and the other Green Ancient Mystery Dimension ancient martial art practitioners were all terrified. Their figures trembled and they could not speak for a long while. Not only were three Martial Arts Grandmaster rank absolute strong practitioners not aiding them, but they were actually all standing beside Mo Wen.
Mo Wen had saved their lives? What virtue and ability did Mo Wen possess to actually save the lives of so many Martial Arts Grandmasters? What situation was this? The group of Green Ancient Mystery Dimension ancient martial art practitioners could not get their heads around what was happening.
Grandmother Hui Ling trembled slightly as she clutched the staff in her hand. Her face looked decades frailer. With so many Martial Arts Grandmasters against them at the same time, if Patriarch Tan did not intervene, they could easily eradicate all the large sects in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, not just their Purple Qi Pavilion and Five Beasts Sect,
She took a deep breath and slowly walked up to Tan Qiyue and then knelt down by bending both her knees.
”Patriarch Tan, back then our sect great grandfather was your sworn brother. You swore to live and die and face suffering together. When sect great grandfather passed away, you promised him that as long as you were around, you would protect the Purple Qi Pavilion. Right now, the Purple Qi Pavilion is on the verge of being eradicated. Patriarch Tan, please protect our sect.”
Tan Qiyue sighed softly. Back then, he had indeed said those words, and he had meant them. He had never expected that the Purple Qi Pavilion would offend someone like Mo Wen. Also, from the looks of it, their grudge was not an ordinary one.
”Mo Wen also saved me. Making an enemy of him would be repaying kindness with evil. Am I such a person? However, since I said those words back then, I will try my best to protect your Purple Qi Pavilion. However, I only protect the Purple Qi Pavilion. I hope you will understand,” Tan Qiyue said as he coldly looked at Grandmother Hui Ling.
Mo Wen had actually even saved Patriarch Tan. What exactly had happened between these Martial Arts Grandmasters and Mo Wen?
Upon hearing this, Grandmother Hui Ling turned pale. She trembled slightly and said, ”I understand. As long as the heritage of the Purple Qi Pavilion is preserved from eradication, I am content. Anyone from our Purple Qi Pavilion will sacrifice themselves for the sect.”
She understood Patriarch Tan's words clearly. He could protect the Purple Qi Pavilion, but he would not necessarily protect her. It could even be said that as long as he guaranteed the heritage of the Purple Qi Pavilion was preserved, anyone in the Purple Qi Pavilion could die. She knew what this meant. If Mo Wen wanted to kill her, or even kill a batch of Purple Qi Pavilion ancient martial art practitioners to vent his resentment, Patriarch Tan would not intervene, as long as the heritage of the Purple Qi Pavilion was preserved.
”Little friend Mo Wen, back then, a pavilion leader of the Purple Qi Pavilion was my sworn brother. I owed him a great debt of gratitude. Before he died, I promised him that as long as I live, I would protect the Purple Qi Pavilion. If you can allow me to save face, I will be eternally grateful.”
”Elder Tan, you are too serious. Since you asked, I will not eradicate the Purple Qi Pavilion. I can spare their lives, but punishment still needs to be dealt out. So many members of the Intentionless Sect have died. Someone must be held accountable.”
Mo Wen's gaze turned cold as he shifted his gaze towards the members of the Intentionless Sect tied up on the stone pillars for all to see.
