Chapter 462 - Head of the Su Family (1/2)

Gusts of cold wind whistled as they swept the summit. The crowd under the arena swiftly came to a quiet, watching the two men on the arena of the Mount Wuyue peak with rapt attention. When the two men continued to face off for a long time, some people began talking. Several elderly, bearded cultivators in the distance were nodding as they discussed something.

A red-robed elder evened out his beard and asked the person beside him, “They’re both rare talents among the younger generation. What do you think?”

The cyan-robed elder smoothened his beard and said slowly, “Xiao Chen was extraordinary before, but he has been imprisoned for a year after all. Mo Jinyan has never been defeated in his life. More importantly, his family is one of the Ancient Immortal Clans and possesses ancient cultivation methods. Just this point alone makes him far ahead of Xiao Chen.”

The two other elders nodded in agreement. The red-robed elder shook his head, laughing. “Don’t you forget that Xiao Chen possesses an ancient cultivation method of his own?”

“You’re not wrong,” the cyan-robe elder said. “But do you know which lineage of Ancient Immortal Clans the Mo family comes from?”

“Which lineage?”

“The six ancient heaven-exterminating clans.”

The red-robed elder trembled after hearing his words and his expression changed as well. Even his voice was shaking. “For real? The legendary heaven-exterminating clan? I thought…”

The cyan-robed elder nodded. “Correct. The Su family and a few others have lost the right to call themselves the heaven-exterminating clans a long time ago, but the Mo family has survived a great calamity and is the true heir of the heaven-exterminating clans.”

The red-robed elder once again trembled in shock. He slowly turned his head to look at the arena. This time, the only one he was looking at was Mo Jinyan.

The wind whizzed atop the summit, causing the two men’s clothes to rustle loudly. Mo Jinyan looked relaxed, even a little proud, as if he never considered Xiao Chen his true opponent. He smiled. “Did you hear what they’re saying? I’m a Mo, a member of the heaven-exterminating clan. You’re just a nobody from the Human World, the lowest of the low in the Human World!”

Xiao Chen spread his hands without care. “Whatever. When it comes to putting up pretenses, I’ll never win against you, so I don’t care.” He even shrugged.

“You!” Mo Jinyan clenched his fingers. A murderous glint crossed his eyes. Right then, a figure stepped across the air. When he came close, they could see that it was an ethereal-looking elder with white brows and a horsetail whisk in hand.

The crowd under the arena, including the older cultivators in the Apotheosis Realm, stared at the white-browed old man in shock. The man could travel through the air at such a high altitude without using magic treasures or flying swords. Had his cultivation reached the Grand Completion Realm?

The white-browed elder looked at the two men standing in the arena. “I’m the White-brow Solitarian. I’m here to bear witness to your sword battle atop Mount Wuyue. You must fight on your own during the battle, or else…” He swiped his horsetail whisk. Following a loud explosion, a mountain top five kilometers away crumbled into dust.

The onlookers were once again alarmed. Grand Completion Realm! The old man was indeed in the Grand Completion Realm! Many wore reverence on their faces. For a moment, they even forgot to breathe. They had never seen a Grand Completion Realm cultivator in their lives. That realm was almost a legendary realm for them; it was just one step away from immortality itself.

Of course, those who had seen Xiao Ning and Gu Feng fight yesterday didn’t seem too surprised. They had the feeling that those two were even stronger than this old man.

Xiao Chen was a little taken aback as well. A pure cultivator in the Grand Completion Realm who didn’t touch the teachings of other sects. This unadulterated aura felt very familiar. The leader of the Mystic Cyan Sect, also his grandmaster, Perfected Immortal Qingxuan was in the Grand Completion Realm. At least, that was what his memories told him.

Suddenly, Mo Jinyan turned around and saluted White-brow Solitarian. “Thank you for coming all the way here.”

He had always held the older cultivators here in contempt, only to treat this old man so deferentially. It was obvious that they knew each other. To be frank, he had sent an urgent letter out after seeing None-flower Dust and Yi Tong’s abrupt appearances yesterday.

The crowd below was stunned to learn that the old man was an acquaintance of the Mo family. The group of elders watching from a distance was startled at first, but upon second thought, it wasn’t anything strange for the Mo family to be able to invite a Grand Completion Realm cultivator.

White-brow Solitarian nodded. “Fight with ease. I’d like to see who can interfere with me around,” he said, staring at the distant None-flower Dust and Yi Tong.

Frowning, Qingluan whispered, “Not only is he a Grand Completion Realm cultivator, but he also knows the Mo family. I fear…”

Before she could finish her sentence, an old man’s powerful and sonorous voice reached everyone’s ears. “If so, allow me to bear witness as well.”
