1002 The Three Great Kings (1/2)

”It's no big deal. We're both humans, so we need to help each other out,” Mo Wen said with a smile.

”You're the genius young man Sister Mo Qingge recommended, aren't you? You're something else. It makes me ashamed of myself.” Nie Junxue smiled. There were but a handful of people entering the Path of Creation, so deducing Mo Wen's identity had not been a herculean effort.

A few rays of light flew out from the Multicolor City—it was Xiao Jinghe and the others. They had been guarding the city, and they immediately hurried over upon seeing Mo Wen and Nie Junxue making their way out.

”Sister Junxue, you gave us a real fright.”

”Mo Wen, you're so awesome. Thank you so much.”

...

Chu Yu hovered around Mo Wen, looking him up and down as if this was the first time he had seen him.

The powers that Mo Wen had demonstrated today were astonishing. The funny thing was that Chu Yu had once been worried Mo Wen would not attain the highest achievement of the seventh test.

Wen Jiuhai held his ancient sword as he looked at Mo Wen with respect. Gone was the defiant posture he had once had.

”Did the Multicolor Queen agree to let Nie Junxue go, Mo Wen?” Xiao Jinghe had never expected the Multicolor Queen to let Nie Junxue go so easily. Although Mo Wen had the power to threaten the Multicolor Clan, the Multicolor Queen also had the power to restrain them since she held Nie Junxue's life in her hand. After all, Mo Wen would probably not have dared to fully attack the Multicolor Clan when their queen could have killed Nie Junxue at any moment.

”The Multicolor Queen and I have reached an agreement on the conditions for Nie Junxue's release,” Mo Wen said. If it had not been for the fact that he was able to help the Multicolor Queen, rescuing Nie Junxue might have been a real issue.

”No words can convey my gratitude, Mo Wen. I will repay you in the future.” Nie Junxue looked intently at Mo Wen.

”How are you going to repay him, Sister Junxue? You're not possibly thinking of repaying him with your body, are you?” Chu Yu smirked sleazily.

”Why, does that make you jealous?” Nie Junxue's face reddened a little. She felt awkward. That scum Chu Yu, just what nonsense was he spouting? She could only spin this off as a joke in order to ward off any misunderstandings.

”Of course I'm jealous. I'm so jealous I could die, and I'm not the only one. There are so many young, handsome men in Huatian palace who would be envious, jealous, and hateful.”

Nie Junxue was the most talented lady in the Huatian Palace, and she was a rare beauty. Many people treated her like a goddess. Chu Yu might just be messing with her now but if she really married to Mo Wen, he would be seething with jealousy at how lucky he was.

”Mm, let's not stay in this ancient land too long. Let's move on to the Nine Spirits Road.”

Wen Jiuhai nodded as well. Going to the Nine Spirits Road would mean a guaranteed entrance into the Creation Pool. He did not want to meet with any other accidents here.

”You guys go on ahead. I made a promise to the Multicolor Queen that I have to keep.” Mo Wen, on the other hand, had no plans of leaving with Xiao Jinghe and the others.

”Then you take care,” Nie Junxue gazed at Mo Wen. She knew why he was staying. It was clear that there was nothing the Multicolor Queen could do f he decided to just up and leave without bothering to help her. However, it was obvious that Mo Wen would do no such thing.

Although Xiao Jinghe and the rest of them had no idea what Mo Wen was up to, they did not ask too many questions. With his capabilities, there was no one in the whole of the ancient land who was a match for him.

...

Mo Wen found an inn in the Multicolor Clan and cultivated quietly for three days. After three days, he went to the Multicolor Palace once again.

With his current status, the path to the palace was unobstructed and smooth-sailing. It was obvious that the Multicolor Queen had spread the word.

However, when Mo Wen walked into the imperial garden, he felt something was amiss. Aside than the Multicolor Queen, he detected two other terrifying auras. The two auras did not seem to be weaker than the Multicolor Queen.

”Hm?”

Mo Wen stopped abruptly. The two auras that he had sensed were on a par with the Multicolor Queen. They belonged to powerful creatures. Could they belong to the other two Great Kings?

What did it mean if those two Great Kings had come to the Multicolor Clan?

The fact that the three Great Kings of the ancient land had banded together made even Mo Wen feel dreadful. He hesitated. Should he leave this place immediately? Although he had made a promise to the Multicolor Queen, he had not expected the two other Great Kings to appear at the Multicolor Palace. This could have broken the agreement.
