834 The Hold Up (2/2)
Wan'er and Wang Qian were both so frightened that their faces turned pale. They had not expected that something like this would happen on their way back. The men in black were obviously not friendly.
”Hand us the Dragon City Talisman and we will let you live. Otherwise, you die.”
The leader of the men in black approached them. His voice was peculiar because it started and stopped. It was obvious that he used some special means to change his voice. Usually, people who did that were either very careful, or they were afraid that others would discover their identity.
”What Dragon City Talisman? I don't know what you are talking about,” Mei Yixuan said expressionlessly.
”How stubborn! Don't think that we do not know. The Five Tigers Sect got some spiritual medicine not long ago. You fulfill the requirements Huatian Palace had to exchange for Dragon City Talismans. You came to Huatian Palace to exchange your spiritual medicine for Dragon City Talismans, didn't you?”
”Hrmph, the Five Tigers Sect though that we wouldn't take notice of you all because they sent two elders to make the exchange. Be smart and hand over the Dragon City Talismans. Otherwise, we will send you to your deaths.”
A startling aura burst forth from the man in black. The terrifying aura swept toward them and tossed Mei Yixuan and Qi Hang, the two elders, back four or five steps. Wan'er and Wang Qian, who were warriors of the Regulated Breathing Realm were so frightened that they remained frozen where they were standing. Their faces were pale and their limbs were icy cold. They could not speak.
Mo Wen frowned and took a step forward, blocking Wan'er and Wang Qian from the attack.
The two were shocked to discover that they could no longer feel the terrifying aura when they stood behind Mo Wen's tall and broad figure. It was as if he was their safe harbor and a strong sense of security surged in their hearts.
A flash of understanding passed through Mo Wen's eyes. No wonder Mei Yixuan and Qi Hang were so nervous. They had gone to Huatian Palace to exchange items for Dragon City Talismans.
A Dragon City Talisman was enough to make the martial arts sect fight to the deaths. It was not just so they could attend the Martial Arts Circle Convention, but also the Dragon City Mystery Dimension. There were things one could only dream of in Dragon City.
Every time the Martial Arts Circle Convention approached, the world would be thrown into chaos. This was mostly because of the Dragon City Talisman.
The late Embryonic Breathing Realm!
Mei Yixuan was shocked. The leader of the men in black was a powerhouse in the late Embryonic Breathing Realm. There were not many people who were so powerful even in the entire Taihang Mountain range.
”Are you all from the Baili Sect? That slut Fu Yu is indeed vicious!” Mei Yixuan's expression was icy cold. Their mission this time was a secret, and there were not more than 10 people in the sect who knew that they were carrying it out. These people knew why they had gone to Huatian Palace and the route they were taking. Someone on the inside must have betrayed them. There was no doubt that it was that little slut Fu Yu.
They had already been on their guard against that woman but had not expected her to be so well-informed. She had still gotten information about them.
”What is the Baili Sect?” The leader of the men in black laughed loudly. He would naturally not admit who they were. He said coldly, ”Since you are not handing over the Dragon City Talisman, then I will send you to your deaths and take the talisman from your corpses.”
He took a step forward. He moved several hundred meters and viciously grabbed Mei Yixuan around the throat with one hand.
Even though Mei Yixuan's cultivation level was at the peak of the Qi Nucleation Realm, she did not have a chance of retaliating against such a strong opponent. She would die in just one round.
Coldness enveloped her, and she found it hard to move. She could only watch as the grim reaper approached her.
”You people from Baili Sect are bullies!”
An angry yell rang out from the forest. Then, a figure flew out and instantly blocked the attack.
There was a loud crash, and the power dissipated, uprooting several nearby trees.
An old man appeared in front of Mei Yixuan and blocked the wind. He was none other than the Grand Elder of the Five Tigers Sect, Wang He.
Going to Huatian Palace to exchange items for the Dragon City Talisman was a big deal. Naturally, they would naturally not just send Mei Yixuan and Qi Hang. There was a grand elder who protected them secretly to remain on the down-low.
Wang He had only just appeared when another figure flew out of the forest and appeared before them. He was also an old man who had white hair and a young appearance. His eyes were very lively and were not murky like those of old people. His aura was not any weaker than Wang He. In fact, it was even stronger.
”Grand Elder.”
Wan'er and Wang Qian called out subconsciously when they saw the person. It was obvious that they knew this elder. He was the First Grand Elder of the Five Tigers Sect, Yun Pengqing. His cultivation was in the late stage of the Embryonic Breathing Realm. Only the sect leader was slightly more powerful than him in the entire Five Tigers Sect.
