Chapter 1033 - The Big Chase (1/2)
Hades Mountain and the Skewed Moon Chamber of Commerce!
Mo Wen’s face iced over a little. He was not too surprised that Hades Mountain was involved. They were not easy to deal with since they were one of the heretic forces who could disrupt the balance of the Huatian Palace. They had their own channels and a terrifying background, so they were absolutely not afraid of the Huatian Palace.
He knew that the cultivators above the Primordial Soul realm who kept appearing had definitely traveled using the heretic organization’s route.
But he did not anticipate the participation of the Skewed Moon Chamber of Commerce. This chamber of commerce was a rather famous one in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm, termed one of the three great chambers of commerce. They were on par with the Imperial Treasury and the Thousand Gold Inn. Mo Wen had never had dealings with such chambers of commerce, so he had no grudges or enemies with them. But why would they be an accomplice to this and help the sects from the Peng Lai Immortal Realm infiltrate the main space?
“Perhaps they were driven solely by profit and you’re not a factor in their decisions.”
Mo Wen laughed at himself. Perhaps the Skewed Moon Chamber of Commerce had never even taken a young man like him into consideration and had not considered that they would offend him. Those big sects from the Peng Lai Immortal Realm must have given the Skewed Moon Chamber of Commerce benefits, and so maybe this was nothing more than a business transaction to them.
In a distance, the Ink Scaled King had Chen Tianxiao grasped in one hand like a little chick. He made his way back to the walls of the Intentionless City in just a few steps.
“What should I do with him?” The Ink Scaled King looked to Mo Wen.
“Kill him. He’s no one important, so there’s no point in keeping him,” Mo Wen remarked mildly.
A weird feeling overcame Chen Tianxiao when he heard this. To Mo Wen, the young man, he was just a small figure! And to think he had been bragging not too long ago. The man treated him like a small figure now. This was nothing if not ironic.
“You can’t kill me. I might only be an ordinary elder in the Shattered Cloud Sect, but my grandfather is the Grand Elder of the sect. If you kill me, he’ll definitely not let you off.”
Chen Tianxiao hurriedly revealed his background in hopes of shocking Mo Wen. A sect as huge as the Shattered Cloud Sect had Grand Elders who were above the Supreme Profundity realm. These were people at the apex of the Peng Lai Immortal Realm.
“Would anything change if I don’t kill you? You guys came after me even though I’ve never offended any of you, anyway.”
Mo Wen laughed coldly. He could not care less about a person’s background. Whether he killed them or not made no difference.
Chen Tianxiao fell silent. He suddenly regretted going to the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. If he had known this would happen earlier, he would never have taken the assignment. The funny thing was that all the other elders had seen this as an opportunity to prove themselves, so they fought each other for a spot here. He had only managed to seize this opportunity because of his grandfather.
“I might have Zhang Poxiao’s inheritance, but he’s only half a teacher to me. We’re not as close you seem to think we are. Your grudges with him actually have nothing to do with me, and I might not necessarily help him to take revenge for whatever happened 600 years ago. And yet, you insist on lumping both of us together. Since you refuse to be kind, don’t blame me for returning the favor,” Mo Wen remarked mildly.
The greatest aim of these sects, aside from eliminating him altogether, was the treasure he had on him. The Sacred Fire Sword was the key to a treasure trove. For a treasure trove to have a sacred treasure as a key meant the stored treasure was on an unimaginably large scale. Back then, the grudges between Zhang Poxiao and these sects had been caused by this treasure trove.
“Aside from me, the Sword Valley and the Sinister Wind Sect had also sent powerhouses over. The Petrification Cult, especially, sent a cultivator who had achieved great attainment of the Tide Changing realm after they suffered in your hands the other time. Haha, all of them are lying in wait near Intentionless City, and you’ll probably be able to find them.”
Right before he was going to die, Chen Tianxiao laughed uproariously. He had been quick to speak out and betray all of the other sects. To begin with, those sects were in direct competition with the Shattering Cloud Sect, so it was only natural that he wanted to see them die horrible deaths and end up as he did.
Mo Wen laughed at his words. These sects were rather interesting, and it seemed like the situation was not as complicated as he had thought.
Gu Jingman walked over with a smile on her face as she said, “All the great sects from the Peng Lai Immortal Realm are scheming against each other. They don’t trust each other, and would go as far as to intentionally harming one another. If this goes on, it’s likely that they won’t stick together, and the pressure on us will lift a little.”
Indeed, if the ten or so sects united to form their own city to take them on, even if Mo Wen had three heads and six arms, he would be unlikely to win against them.
Chen Tianxiao had turned to ashes under the Ink Scaled King’s Qilin Arm. The entire Intentionless City and its surroundings had fallen into a deathly silence. No one in the forest outside dared to stand forward, and it was as if no one was present in the forest.
“What now, Mo Wen?”
Wang Yinru and Pei Fengwu walked up to the city walls together. Both of them were equally beautiful and outstanding, like two beautiful landscapes.
They looked at the Ink Scaled King in surprise because they had never known that an ally this strong was on their side. Just how strong was this senior’s cultivation? How could he crush a Tide Changing realm cultivator like it was nothing? Was he a being at the Supreme Profundity realm like what the legends had described?
“What else can we do? Of course, we’ll have to deal with all of the cultivators who infiltrated the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension.”
There was a cold glint to Mo Wen’s eyes. Since the Ink Scaled King had been exposed, he might as well go all out and kill every single one of the infiltrators in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. This would teach the big sects of the Peng Lai Immortal Realm an unforgettable lesson.
“Haha, wipe them all out, you say? Leave it to me. Hm, there are several auras in the forest that don’t seem all that weak. I detected a few of them before, though they seemed to have gone into hiding after. Did they really think they could escape me?”
The Ink Scaled King laughed coldly. He was a person who had lived more than a hundred thousand years, and a lot of cultivators at the Supreme Profundity realm were not as experienced as he was.
“I’ll leave the cultivators who are at or above the Tide Changing realm to you. As for the rest, leave them to Gu Jingman and me.”
There had been quite a number of monks who had infiltrated the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension this time—a rough estimate of a least 200 people. Although a large number of them were martial arts powerhouses, they had really strong auras coming off of them, so the Ink Scaled King was the only one who could deal with them.
