Chapter 278 Overconfidence (1/2)
”I, Mu Qiufeng of Five Immortals Order, am here to visit the respected ones of Qingjiang Sword Sect.”
This voice was filled with cold and slick mana, making every sick in the heart, instantly removing all the understandings they got from Shen Lian's sermons.
Shen Lian stopped his lectures and he saw a black gleam of light covered in poisonous mist, ascending from the mountain foot. As it traveled all the grass and woods as it passed them, stripping lives off them.
The poison mist dispersed and there stood a young man in his twenties, dressed very cleanly in a white robe.
So-called Five Immortals Order, was actually the Five Venoms, but 'Five Venoms' was a nickname the outsiders had given them, while they self-proclaimed to be 'Five Immortals' which showed their means of pursuing immortality.
This most powerful skill of the Five Venoms Order was none other than the Mystical Art of Five Venoms. It was rumored that its founding grandmaster once used this venomous technique to kill an immortal Zhenren, which was a horrible sight.
Zuo Shaoqing rose and said, ”Are you looking for trouble by trespassing into our Qingjiang territory?”
”No, no, we the Five Venoms Order are neighboring clans with Qingjiang Swords Sect for centuries. Our friendship is as long as it can be. I heard recently that you lot are facing a large trial, so I came here under my Master's order to see how I can help. Please do not make me look like a bad guy.” Mu Qiufeng held his fists to bow casually, but with his outstanding venom skills, as soon as Zuo Shaoqing caught a scent that smells like orchids, he felt dizzy and could not use his mana. Usually, he would have already swung his sword as soon as the young man appeared, but he couldn't do so due to his injuries.
He sneered, ”We do not need your good Order's help here.”
Mu Qiufeng was not angry as he slowly walked up. He was obviously an influential disciple of the Five Venoms Order, not only his venom prowess was outstanding, he was rather gutsy to enter the crowd of Qingjiang disciples alone, and he said calmly, ”Qingjiang Sword Sect has always been the ruler of the Nanjiang region. Now that it is facing hard times, I believe that you gentlemen will be able to overcome this obstacle, and I only intend to come to your aid and help make that day arrive sooner. At the same time, my kind Master knew that you lot are not as capable as before, so he offered to help you gentlemen to safeguard your classic literature so they won't get lost. We will return them to the original condition when it is done.”
He scanned around the rubbles of the sword palace as he talked, and brushed past Shen Lian. Only when he laid eyes on Ruoxi, his eyes glowed, an obvious show of interest when he saw her extraordinary beauty.
Zuo Shaoqing only scoffed, ”What a brilliant idea. You really think that we Qingjiang will do as you dictate?”
Mu Qiufeng stopped his steps and smiled, ”We in Five Immortals Order have no ill intentions, but the Chiyan Clan and the Dark Wind Cave are both your destined foe. It is my Master who stopped these two clans from charging in towards you. Brother, please do not frame me as the bad person here.”
”Are you done?” Shen Lian asked.
Mu Qiufeng followed the voice and saw the good-looking man sitting on the palace rubbles. He smiled, ”I actually have more to say, little brother. I see that the young lady beside you has some talents in her. Why don't you let her admit to my order, and I assure you a bright future.”
Shen Lian replied, ”Ridiculous.”
He saw Shen Lian lifting one finger. Before Mu Qiufeng could react, he saw a gleam surrounding him and sent him flying across layers of mountains and waters. In the process, all his venom skills were nullified and he finally slammed on the ground, causing him immense pain by breaking quite a number of bones.
His white robe was shredded. The young man's voice was heard saying, ”Ask your leader to come and apologize to us before tomorrow evening, or your Five Venoms Order will be delisted from Nanjiang.”
Mu Qiufeng had his mystical arts nullified by Shen Lian using one finger. He did not know of Shen Lian's origins, but his techniques were scarily powerful. He crawled and stormed back to his mountain gates.
Zuo Shaoqing bowed, ”Shaoqing is incapable that we need you to lift your finger.”
