Chapter 1066 - Cultivation Breakthrough (1/2)
As they all took their seats in the main hall, Mo Wen looked at Huai Hongxiu and the other guests. Even without asking, he knew why they were here.
As he had expected, Huai Hongxiu spoke in a quiet tone, “Brother Mo, given the situation Yingyun City is currently in, do you have any strategies to take down the enemy?”
Huai Hongxiu had had a sleepless night. She couldn’t help thinking about Mo Wen’s origin and background. Since Mo Wen knew about that sachet, there was no doubt that he had been sent here by that senior. However, it seemed almost impossible for them to resolve the tricky situation in Yingyun City just with this young cultivator alone. Then why did that senior send only one person here? Was it because she thought that just Mo Wen was enough to defend Yingyun City?
Huai Hongxiu was filled with doubt and suspicion. She had guessed that Mo Wen’s coming here meant that he probably had some hidden technique they did not know about, so they made their way here this early in the morning to clear the air. After all, this was a matter of life and death for Yingyun City, so she did not want to act too recklessly.
“Taking down the enemy? Let me think,” Mo Wen said with a smile. What strategies could he possibly have? He had barely spent a day here in Yingyun City, so he was not sure about the overall strength of Muhong City. How could he possibly have a strategy to take them down?
“Did you not think about methods to drive out Muhong City before you came here?” Huai Hongxiu was speechless. Did this person really come just to save Yingyun City?
“I have, and I think the simplest way is to kill the Muhong City Mayor. Muhong City will no longer be a threat once they lose this Supreme Profundity Realm cultivator,” Mo Wen said after some thought.
The Immortal Cultivation world was a cruel one where a single high-level cultivator could change the fate of everyone. Their world as a whole was like a huge tree, and the lower-level cultivators depended upon the higher-level cultivators, existing beneath them, and layers upon layers of such relationships stacked up to form a hierarchy.
An individual, because of an extraordinary martial arts power they possessed, could destroy everything, so this world was not a reasonable one. Etiquettes and law… None of these meant anything in the face of power. This was a world ruled by fists, and all that mattered was how strong you were. Other than killing the Muhong City Mayor, there was no other solution that could so thoroughly resolve this crisis.
The cultivators in Yingyun City turned to look at one another. Kill the Muhong City Mayor? They would not have come here to discuss if they each had the ability to kill the Muhong City Mayor.
The real question was this—who could kill the Muhong City Mayor?
“What would we have to do to kill the Muhong City Mayor?” Huai Hongxiu laughed bitterly, feeling as though Mo Wen had said a pile of rubbish.
“I’ll kill him, then. Let me try,” Mo Wen said indifferently.
Everyone was shocked when he said that, and all of them turned to look at one another. He was going to kill the Muhong City Mayor? How could he, alone, kill a Supreme Profundity Realm cultivator? Was he serious? They had seen their fair share of confident people, but they had never come across anyone as self-assured as Mo Wen.
This young man might have managed to escape easily from the clutches of the Muhong City Mayor, but that did not mean that he had the power to face a Supreme Profundity Realm cultivator head-on and eliminate him.
