Chapter 1025 - Instant Kill (1/2)
A year ago, when Mo Wen appeared in Li’an City, he was only at the Primordial Soul Realm. He was further from being an opponent for the Blood Evil Temple Temple Leader, Xue Chu. Mo Wen had barely escaped from Xue Chu’s grasp. After just one year, had Mo Wen actually trained up to the Tide Changing Realm? It was practically unbelievable. No matter how abnormal of a genius he was, it was impossible for him to be so ridiculously gifted.
The three members of the Petrification Cult had later stage Primordial Soul Realm levels of cultivation. Even compared with the Blood Evil Temple Leader Xue Chu, they would not be very much weaker than him, just slightly weaker than him at most.
In theory, any one of them could handle Mo Wen alone if they encountered him. With all three of them joining forces, they could even easily kill off Mo Wen.
“It definitely is Mo Wen. He looks exactly like his portrait. How could I possibly mistake him?” The black-robed elder claimed adamantly. As Primordial Soul Realm cultivators, it was impossible for them to have mistaken him. It was just that before this, he had not thought of Mo Wen. Now that he had pondered carefully, he immediately identified who this youth was.
“What do we do now? Elder Shao has not returned yet and the three of us cannot possibly hold off a Tide Changing Realm strong practitioner.”
Old Xu and Old Chen were also panicking. They had to believe what Old Wang had said. After all, having been together for such a long time, they were very familiar with one another. Old Wang was not the type of person who did not know the severity of a situation and would simply joke around. Since Mo Wen truly had Tide Changing Realm level of cultivation, then the three of them definitely could not stand against him.
A beam of white light faintly appeared on the horizon. After flashing a few times, it quietly appeared before them.
“Weren’t you all looking for me? Now that I have appeared, why are you afraid?”
A faint voice swept over within the breeze. It was very casual, but it creeped out the three members of the Petrification Cult. All the muscles in their bodies tensed up at the sound of it.
A youth dressed in white gradually appeared before them. His expression was indifferent; they could not detect any emotion in it. There was a perfect beauty standing beside him. Naturally, it was Pei Fengwu.
“Mo Wen!”
The three members of the Petrification Cult immediately recognized that the person before them was Mo Wen, the person whom they had come to the main space to search for. They never imagined that he would show himself now, waltzing up and appearing in front of them.
“Mo Wen, you actually dared to appear in front of us. Are you not afraid of dying?” Old Chen snapped while he appearing to look serenely at Mo Wen.
If before hearing Old Wang’s news, he suddenly met Mo Wen, Old Chen would certainly have been ecstatic and would have immediately attacked to capture him. However, after hearing the words of the black-robed elder, Old Chen was uneasy and he did not dare to rashly make a move. If Mo Wen truly had Tide Changing Realm level of cultivation, wouldn’t they be seeking death?
“Mo Wen, we Petrification Cult elders have been looking everywhere for you. You actually dare to reveal yourself to us. You really are reckless,” Old Xu also snapped. He hoped that they could intimidate Mo Wen into being more cautious. If they could scare him away, it would certainly be the best outcome.
“Hehe, you all have worked so hard to find me. I was abashed at the attention, so I decided to show myself now to save your troubles.” Mo Wen chuckled. He looked playfully at them. However, his gaze was as cold as winter.
Pei Fengwu also smiled slightly. Anyone could tell that even though the members of the Petrification Cult appeared serene on the outside, they were unemboldened inside.
“Mo Wen!”
“Sect Leader Mo!”
“Palace Lord Mo Wen!”
“Palace Lord Mo Wen has returned! My eyes are not deceiving me, right?”
“The Palace Lord has returned. The Palace Lord has come to rescue us.”
…
When the members of the Ming Palace who were hiding in the palace nearby saw Mo Wen, all of them became emotional. They did not dare believe that they were seeing that youthful silhouette. To them, that youth, that silhouette was their spiritual leader, the sustenance for their inner spirits.
Everyone had hoped that the Palace Lord could appear in time and rescue them from their predicament. They had not imagined that it had actually happened.
“He has come after all.”
In the crowd, Wang Yinru looked at Mo Wen’s silhouette with watery eyes. No matter when or how dangerous it was, that silhouette would always appear in the nick of time. However, she did not know whether that silhouette could weather through all storms. She had not wished for him to appear. She would have preferred that he kept hiding and did not come out.
Anyone could tell that the enemy the Ming Palace was dealing with this time was no pushover. The depth of the history of these people was unimaginable. The people who flew around in the sky like deities appeared one after another. For the members of the Ming Palace, their enemies had already broken their spirits and plunged them into endless despair.
Wang Yinru also did not know whether Mo Wen could still protect them. If even he could not protect the members of the Ming Palace, she preferred that he did not come and stayed hidden forever.
“Big Brother Mo.”
Su Wan’er clenched her small hand tightly. Two streaks of tears flowed from her eyes. Before this, no matter how much despair she felt, she had not shed a tear. However, now that she saw Mo Wen, she could not hold them back anymore. Initially, she really wanted to see him, but now she began to be deeply concerned. She would have preferred not having seen him.
The members of the Ming Palace burst into activity due to Mo Wen’s appearance. Many of them trusted and worshipped Mo Wen frenziedly. They believed that with Mo Wen’s appearance, their troubles would certainly be over. There were also some who were still very worried. It was because they were not certain whether their Palace Lord could deal with these immortal cultivators. There were others that were more concerned about Mo Wen’s safety and were feeling especially conflicted.
Mo Wen did not know what the members of the Ming Palace were thinking; he also did not have the time to ponder about that in detail. He merely smiled slightly at the members of the Ming Palace. He used his smile to give them a sense of security and trust.
“Weren’t you all looking for me? Now that I have come, what are you planning to do?” Mo Wen looked calmly at the three members of the Petrification Cult. Mo Wen knew that many sects from the Peng Lai Immortal Realm were looking for him. It was just that the Petrification Cult was ahead of everyone else.
