Chapter 1031 - Ink Scaled Appears (2/2)
“Demon, was it you who had killed Shao Tianqi of the Petrification Cult, or had it been someone else?”
Chen Tianxiao stood high in the air and looked down at Gu Jingman from where he was; there was no mistake that there was an air of superiority coming off of him. A cultivator at the Tide Changing Realm was definitely the cream of the crop in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm. Now that he was here in the main space, he believed there was no one in this world who was his match.
It was just that he did not expect that a few measly cultivators from the main space would require his intervention. Was the main space this strong now?
“No comment,” Gu Jingman responded coldly. This old man was trying to fish for information, probably speculating if there were still any powerhouses backing the Ming Palace.
“You’ve got quite a big mouth on you, are you not afraid of death?” Chen Tianxiao chuckled coldly, then said, “Or I could be cruel and torture you bit by bit, granting you a fate worse than death.
It would be such a shame for such a beautiful person to die like that. Chen Tianxiao laughed strangely as he stared at Gu Jingman purposefully.
Gu Jingman’s face was becoming colder and colder. She wanted nothing more than to gouge out the old man’s eyes. He was so old and yet he still did not understand the idea of respect. She suddenly felt that even Shao Tianqi had not been as vile as this old man.
“You people of the Shattering Cloud Sect, you’re a large sect from the Peng Lai Immortal Realm. You have a long history and a broad orthodoxy, so why are you picking on a tiny sect like ours? Is it a common practice of your sect to bully the weak?” Gu Jingman remarked mildly.
A large sect from the Peng Lai Immortal Realm and a powerhouse cultivator at the Tide Changing Realm had actually come all the way to the main space to make a big show of their strength. What sort of mindset was this?
“Bullying the weak? Haha, you’re right, I am bullying the weak, and you’re the one I’m bullying. Aren’t you naïve, little lady, asking a question like this? There is no greater truth than strength here in the Immortal Cultivation world,” Chen Tianxiao sneered.
He was not the least bit ashamed of this; on the contrary, he was rather proud of it. A powerful cultivator at the Tide Changing realm like him went all the way to a tiny mystery dimension like the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. He was not the least bit shameful.
“I wouldn’t say I’m naïve, just confused as to why the people from a sect as big as yours have absolutely no sense of propriety, decorum, or shame,” Gu Jingman remarked calmly.
Upon hearing her words, Chen Tianxiao’s face hardened. This little b*tch was actually speaking to him like that in front of a crowd. He said, “I don’t know anything about shame, you b*tch, but I’ll tell you what it means to have no shame in a little bit.”
Chen Tianxiao chuckled strangely. There was no one in the whole of the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension who was his match, so could stop him from doing as he pleased? He felt great about himself as if his standing here had just made him the god of heaven and earth.
Abruptly, a young figure appeared without a sound on the city walls, like a gust of wind that blew by gently, appearing without a single trace. No one noticed how the young man had made his way here, and even Chen Tianxiao was puzzled. He looked away for only a second and had not noticed how the young man got there.
Mo Wen took a step forward, standing in front of Gu Jingman like a mountain. He spoke mildly, “You’re the elder of a large sect and yet you’re behaving in such a despicable and shameless manner. It just goes to show how vile the Shattering Cloud Sect is. If your ancestors knew just what you juniors were getting up to, they would probably be rolling in their graves.”
“A junior like you has no right to lecture the Shattering Cloud Sect on their behavior. Who are you?” Chen Tianxiao squinted. The young man standing in front of him did not seem simple; that mere action earlier had puzzled him greatly. He was definitely much more threatening than Gu Jingman.
“Haven’t you guys been looking for me? I thought you lot were in a rush to kill me.”
Mo Wen laughed. These large sects were actually rather funny. All of them had been rioting to kill him, yet there was but a handful of people who actually knew who he was. They had probably never seen him with their own eyes before, doing nothing more than to send a few of the lesser disciples to deal with him. The higher-ups paid no attention to him. They were only focused on the treasures he had on him.
“You’re Mo Wen?”
Chen Tianxiao was shocked when he heard this. Mo Wen had barely been training for a few years, no? He was estimated to be no older than 30, so how could he have such strong cultivation and be so much more threatening than Gu Jingman? Chen Tianxiao had initially thought that this “young person” was only young in appearance even though he was not young in actuality. This is because there were techniques in the Immortal Cultivation world that allowed for people to retain their youthful looks. They would look young but, in reality, they could be up to thousands of years old.
“Was it you who killed Shao Tianqi?” Chen Tianxiao’s face hardened. He had always thought that Shao Tianqi had been killed by a mysterious expert, but it turned out that Mo Wen had been the one who had killed him. Based on this, Mo Wen was completely terrifying. If he could kill cultivators at the Tide Changing realm now, there was so much more he could accomplish in the days to come. Even Zhang Poxiao had not been as terrifying as him back in the past.
“Perhaps you’ll be the one I’ll kill next.”
Mo Wen laughed mildly. He was neither admitting nor denying it. All he did was stare at Cheng Tianxiao with a rather cold gaze.
A cultivator at the Tide Changing later stage was likely someone he could not kill with his power alone unless Multicolor woke up and merged with him. Just because he could not kill him did not mean nobody else could.
The cultivators from the Peng Lai Immortal Realm were unceasingly coming into the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. The Shattering Cloud Sect standing in front of them was but one of the waves, and many more sects would be making their way in after. Things would only get worse if he could not shock these people.
“Kill me! Alright, that’s crazy enough. I want to see how you’ll kill me.”
Chen Tianxiao broke out raucous laughter when he heard this. Mo Wen was simply too ignorant. Did Mo Wen think he could kill him just because he had killed Shao Tianqi? Besides, it was difficult to confirm if he had really been the one to kill Shao Tianqi. At the very least, he refused to acknowledge that Mo Wen possessed such strength and talent. That said, his desire to kill Mo Wen had reignited. This was a person he could not allow to live.
A terrifying strength exploded from Chen Tianxiao’s body. He took one step forward, and the space within a thousand-meter radius seemed to collapse upon itself. A terrifying power blocked the surrounding area as a large hand reached out to grab Mo Wen, like an eagle grabbing a little chick.
However, just as his power emerged and before he had the time to fully tap into his extraordinary power, a beam of black light flashed before him. At the same time, a burly, middle-aged man appeared. The man was wearing ancient yet savage battle armor, and the aura coming off of him even more barbaric.
