Chapter 1051 - Divine Illusionary Realm (1/2)

Mo Wen had not expected that even before he entered the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield, he would encounter someone familiar. Aside from Nangong Mingzhu, who Mo Wen had not seen for years, the young master of the Ghost Lair was actually in the crowd too. Even though the young master was wearing a mask, Mo Wen could still recognize him at a glance. The young master’s aura had not changed.

“Mo Wen, why is that girl staring at you? Are both of you involved in a scandal?” Chu Yu said with a foolish giggle as he walked towards Mo Wen and tapped his shoulder.

The girl that Chu Yu mentioned was naturally Nangong Mingzhu. Clearly, she too had not expected that Mo Wen would appear here, so she glanced at him a few times. Everyone here was a strong practitioner with sharp senses. They immediately noticed that Nangong Mingzhu was paying attention to Mo Wen.

Actually, the young master of the Ghost Lair had cast a few glances at Mo Wen too. However, the young master was a man and thus, his action was ignored by others. There wasn’t much gossip that could arise between two men unless of course, some people were thinking along a different tangent and thought of that kind of situation. Hmm, that kind of situation.

Mo Wen rolled his eyes at Chu Yu. What kind of conversation starter was that?

Gu Jingman raised her eyebrows. Her gaze immediately focused on Nangong Mingzhu. There was a hint of hostility in her gaze.

“Mo Wen, you sure know a lot of people. Moreover, all of them are great beauties,” Gu Jingman said casually. She took a step forward and ingeniously stood between Nangong Mingzhu and Mo Wen, blocking their gazes.

Mo Wen, “…”

“Most likely, they are acquaintances,” said Nie Junxue.

Nie Junxue glanced at Gu Jingman, amused. Before this, Nie Junxue had noticed that Gu Jingman was staring at her with animosity and she was puzzled by her gaze. Right now, Nie Junxue finally understood what was happening. Still, it was not a good feeling to be accused by Gu Jingman. It was as though every woman that Mo Wen knew had a little something with him. “Is Mo Wen that flirtatious? Is he that charming?” Nie Junxue mused.

At least, in Nie Junxue’s opinion, Mo Wen was an upright person. He didn’t need to be chaperoned 24/7.

Mo Yuqing sneered as she hugged her arms. Mo Wen and that woman were only acquaintances? Clearly, Nie Junxue had little understanding of Mo Wen. Mo Yuqing had been following Mo Wen for a length of time. She had experienced firsthand that countless women were in tangled relationships with Mo Wen.

Mo Wen was speechless. Why did he feel that something was off? What did he do?

Just as Mo Wen was feeling wronged, Nangong Mingzhu actually walked over. She was obviously heading towards Mo Wen.

“Mo Wen, I had not expected to see you here.” Nangong Mingzhu walked over with a smile. There was a hint of surprise in her gaze.

Everyone who could be here was undoubtedly a Tide Changing Realm cultivator. Moreover, all of them were not ordinary Tide Changing Realm cultivators. Had the youth from before reached this stage too? 10 years ago, Mo Wen was but a normal martial art practitioner. He could actually reach this stage in 10 years’ time. His identity was most likely not ordinary.

“It’s a small world after all,” Mo Wen said with a sheepish smile. So many people were staring at him and Nangong Mingzhu. There was no way he could be comfortable with it. Some unrelated rubberneckers were actually staring at them with great interest too.

Gu Jingman hugged her arms. Even though she was somewhat displeased with Nangong Mingzhu, she said nothing.

…

A constant stream of people was coming and going in the area. Nangong Mingzhu seemed to be rather famous. Many people knew her. As soon as she moved, she stirred up many discussions.

“Why is Nangong Mingzhu talking to that youth? Could it be that the youth is also a member of Demonic Sky?”

“He doesn’t seem like a member of Demonic Sky. Didn’t the youth arrive with the geniuses of the Huatian Palace?”

“Could it be that the members of Demonic Sky and the members of Huatian Palace are starting a fight? That would be something worth watching.”

…

Besides the members from various sects of the Peng Lai Immortal Realm, even the members of the heretic organizations and the Huatian Palace were somewhat curious about their relationship.

“Are you a member of the Huatian Palace?” Nangong Mingzhu asked.

“I have always been one,” Mo Wen said, matter-of-factly.

Nangong Mingzhu nodded, saying no more. She turned and was prepared to leave.

“Wait a second. The borrowed item must be returned to its owner.”

With a snap of Mo Wen’s fingers, a beam of crimson light appeared and an item floated in front of Nangong Mingzhu. It was none other than the Crimson Moon Demonic Tower, a superb grade profound level treasure. Previously, when they were fighting the last battle in the Fighting Spirit Tower, Nangong Mingzhu gave Mo Wen the Crimson Moon Demonic Tower. In the end, Mo Wen didn’t use it. This item was a treasure made by Demonic Sky using secret techniques; others couldn’t unleash much of its power. Therefore, even though Mo Wen had been carrying this item with him, he had never used it before.

“It is just a knick-knack. I would have no issue with you keeping it.”

Nangong Mingzhu accepted the Crimson Moon Demonic Tower with a smile. This tower was merely a replica and not the real Crimson Moon Demonic Tower. After she had given it to Mo Wen, she hadn’t thought of getting it back. Otherwise, with Demonic Sky’s sphere of influence, it was an easy task to locate Mo Wen and retrieve the Demonic Tower.
