Chapter 1024 - Terror (2/2)

“Both of you old things, stop trying to stir up internal strife. Something terrible has happened,” the black-robed elder shouted with an unpleasant expression as soon as he drew near. One could still see the shock on his face. The black-robed elder could sense that the youth was very terrifying; even Elder Shao might not be a match for him.

“Something terrible has happened? What major incident could possibly happen in this tiny Green Ancient Mystery Dimension? Old Wang, can’t you find a better excuse for yourself?” Old Chen sneered. Obviously, he viewed Old Wang’s words as an excuse for Old Wang to go over to them without permission.

“What was so terrible? Why don’t you tell us about it in detail?” Old Xu said nonchalantly. Clearly, he was also not convinced by Old Wang.

“A youth has ventured into the beast lair. His level of cultivation is quite alarming. I speculate that his level of cultivation is at least at the Tide Changing Realm.” The black-robed elder ignored their teasing. He knew that he was not a match for the youth for sure. Even if the three of them joined forces, they would be far from a match for the youth.

The purpose of Old Wang dashing here was to check whether Elder Shao had returned. Perhaps only Elder Shao could stop the terrifying youth.

“A youth at the Tide Changing Realm! You are joking, right?”

When Old Xu and Old Chen heard Old Wang’s report, they jumped to their feet while staring intently at Old Wang. They wanted to determine, based on his eyes, whether he was lying. Even in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm, a Tide Changing Realm cultivator was a high ranking being. It was highly unlikely for such a strong practitioner to pop up in this tiny and barren mystery dimension.

Needless to say, both of them realized that should Old Wang be speaking the truth, their current situation was dire. A Tide Changing Realm cultivator was sufficient to turn the tables around. If the youth was a foe and not a friend, even Elder Shao may not be able to help out much. Instead, the roles of both parties might be reversed; they might become the prey who needed to run with their tails between their legs.

After all, there was still a horrifying woman among the members of the Ming Palace. Should the woman and the youth join forces, they would surely not be able to withstand their attacks.

“What benefit would I get from deceiving you? I can sense that he is coming. Where is Elder Shao?” The black-robed elder asked with an anguished voice as he kept turning and looking behind him.

Initially, the black-robed elder intended to elude the youth by hiding in this dimension. However, he kept sensing that someone was staring at him from behind; the feeling did not go away even after he had escaped into this tiny place. Usually, such a situation only occurs when a high ranked cultivator investigates a low ranked cultivator. Should the deified soul of a Tide Changing Realm cultivator lock onto a person, not only was the person unable to escape, he might not even know that he had been targeted. The person would only vaguely sense some irregularity.

Hence, this was why the black-robed elder was so certain that the youth was at least at the Tide Changing Realm. If the youth was at the Primordial Soul Realm, his deified soul wouldn’t be as mysterious.

“Why did the youth attack you? Did you provoke him?” Old Xu asked with a frown. If the youth was a passer-by who happened to appear in the place, it was highly unlikely for him to attack Old Wang right away. Could it be that the youth came here for the Ming Palace?

“This…”

Old Wang smiled wryly, slightly embarrassed. Originally, he thought that the two youths were just average ancient martial art practitioners, so he showed off his skills. To his surprise, he had actually encountered strong foes. Right now, he had offended the youths. Even if the youths were really passers-by, they were currently at odds with the black-robed elder.

Seeing this, Old Xu and Old Chen immediately understood what had transpired. They were familiar with each other’s personalities. In the main space, they were like wolves going to a flock of sheep. They would act more lawlessly than usual.

“By the way, who was that youth? What did he look like?” Old Chen suddenly realized something. His expression changed drastically.

His mind suddenly thought of a particular person when they were mentioning a rather young youth that happened to appear in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. However, even though that person’s level of cultivation was not low, it was not as terrifying as Old Wang had described.

Upon hearing this, Old Xu and Old Wang also abruptly thought of something. Their expressions immediately changed drastically.

Old Wang’s mien, particularly, turned horrified and astonished. Prior to this, before directly sending a palm strike toward the youth, Old Wang had not even taken a look at his appearance. After that, although he had glanced at the youth, in his haste to escape for his life, he had not thought much about it.

Now that Old Chen had reminded him, the black-robed elder immediately believed that this youth seemed somewhat familiar. The more he thought about it, the more he drew in cold breaths.

“Mo Wen! That person is Mo Wen. I am certain that it is him. I have seen his portrait before.”

The black-robed elder’s sharp voice was filled with terror. That youth was actually Mo Wen whom they had been seeking all this while. The most critical point was that Mo Wen’s level of cultivation was actually shockingly high. It had already reached a level that frightened even Old Wang.

“Is that person really Mo Wen? How is it possible? His level of cultivation should not be that high. A year ago, Mo Wen had just mysteriously escaped from Xue Chu. After only a year, how could Mo Wen possibly have become a Tide Changing Realm strong practitioner?”

Even Old Chen and Old Xu did not dare believe it. They had considered that train of thought before this; after all, there were a few youth strong practitioners that could come to the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. However, they denied it right after. It was impossible for Mo Wen’s level of cultivation to be at the Tide Changing Realm.
