926 The Two Go To War (2/2)
”Such an arrogant young man. The youths today are truly reaching beyond their grasp!”
Mo Wen's words were clearly not pleasant to some ears. After he finished speaking, a cold snort sounded from a person among a sect that was all dressed in crimson robes. They were among one of the eight sects standing across from them.
Mo Wen recognized at a glance that these were the members of the Blood Evil Temple. The person who had spoken was the elder standing at the very front. If Mo Wen's guess was correct, this person was Yang Zonglin that Ling Feng had mentioned before, the so-called Blood Evil Temple's strongest Infinite Powerhouse.
Because of Lord Merciless, the Blood Evil Temple and the Dafang Sect historically had a very bad relationship. Especially during the sect preliminaries, the Blood Evil Temple had intentionally gotten in their way. Otherwise, with Ling Feng's ability, how could they not have passed the sect preliminaries?
The two sects initially had a grudge. Right now, the Dafang Sect had a chance to make a comeback. The members of the Blood Evil Temple naturally could not stand it.
The members of the other sects did not have such an extreme reaction as the Blood Evil Temple. Instead, they were all very curious as they looked at Mo Wen and Gu Jingman. Could it be that these two little fellows had come to pull off a prank? With just the two of them, they did not know their own strength and yet came to challenge them. Weren't they looking down on them a little too much? Some of them were enraged and amused at the same time.
After all, those present were all members of the Peng Lai Immortal Realm sects. Their abilities in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm were rather extraordinary. These ancient martial arts practitioners from the Peng Lai Immortal Realm looked down on the ancient martial arts practitioners from the outside. They always saw themselves as the true inheritors of the heritage of Hua Xia's martial art teachings. The ancient martial arts practitioners from the outside were barbarians and were not worth mentioning at all in their eyes.
Two youths in their twenties dared to challenge them. If this was not a joke, then what was it?
It could be said that of the eight strongest sects that could participate, each had sent five Infinite Powerhouses. Although the Huatian Palace ruled that they each had to send two ancient martial arts practitioners who were below a hundred years old, a ten-year-old and a ninety-year-old were both below a hundred years old. Almost no sect would send out youths in their twenties and thirties, usually sending people in their eighties and nineties, closer to the upper age limit. Also, there were talented strong practitioners in the sect that had reached the Infinite Powerhouse realm before the age of a hundred.
Among the Eight Major Sects there was a sect that consisted only of women. Without a doubt, this was naturally the Goddess Cult. The members of this sect were all as beautiful as flowers. They all appeared to be women in their prime. The oldest among them still only seemed to be middle-aged. However, the people who were familiar with this sect all knew that, of the five members of the Goddess Cult, three of them were over a hundred years old. They were old enough to be the grandmothers of ordinary people. If people were taken in by their appearance, that was a huge mistake. They were all crones with terrifying ability.
Chu Yunli of the Goddess Cult team looked at Mo Wen curiously. As Lin Qing's master, she knew Mo Wen more than other people did. Although this person was young, he was definitely not an arrogant person. Now that the two of them had gone up, what did he intend to do? Could it be that he truly believed that, with just the two of them, they could challenge five from the other sects?
Even Chu Yunli, who looked somewhat favorably on Mo Wen, was also full of doubts right now. She did not understand at all what Mo Wen's goal was in doing this. If he truly believed that he had the ability, wasn't that being too...
”Are you certain that only the two of you will be participating in the battle?”
The referee asked once again. He wanted to get a confirmed response. The Huatian Palace did not rule that they had to send out exactly five people. At the same time, the two of them were also very young and fulfilled the criteria that two participants needed to be under the age of a hundred. He did not even need to inspect their bone age. It was because the two of them were youths that had participated in the Heaven List Tournament. They would definitely not be over fifty.
”Certain!” Mo Wen nodded his head.
”Then, which sect are you prepared to challenge? You only have one opportunity. If you lose, you will immediately be out of the tournament,” the referee said curtly.
”The Blood Evil Temple,” Mo Wen said.
”Alright! Please wait for a moment, then you can begin your battle.” The referee was very decisive. With a touch of his scepter, a beam of light descended from the sky. It then landed on the stage and formed a huge dome-shaped light shroud and almost enveloped the entire field inside its glow.
The next moment, the white-robed elder's silhouette flashed and he disappeared from his original position.
Mo Wen chose to challenge the Blood Evil Temple. It surprised quite a lot of people. After the contests in the past few days, they were somewhat familiar with the eight strongest sects. Setting aside how the factions behind the sects were, purely based on their five-man teams, the ability of the Blood Evil Temple could be ranked among the top five. It was even possible for it to be ranked among the top three. The saying goes that one should choose the path of least resistance. But among the eight sects, the Blood Evil Temple did not appear to be that.
”Humph, you don't know your own strength. Since I have taught you all a lesson before, I don't mind doing it a second time,” Yang Zonglin said with an ugly expression. Mo Wen deliberately chose the Blood Evil Temple, clearly with the intention of seeking revenge. If he let them win, where could the Blood Evil Temple hide its face? But of course, it was impossible for that to happen.
