Chapter 1302: Wu Tong

The mountains were stacked up against each other. On a luxuriantly green hilltop, a man was standing on a pine tree with his hands behind his back. He was looking far and deep into the mountains. A while later, he suddenly turned around. With a faint smile, he said, ”Brother Dong, I guess the plan failed since you're here now.”
A figure with a darkened look walked out from behind the woods. It was Dong Shan, who had fought with Mu Chen earlier. Dong Shan spoke in a cold and hard tone, ”Wu Tong, your plan failed. Wen Qingxuan is smart. With one look, she could tell that we had colluded in the first place.”
Under the pine tree, the man by the name of Wu Tong had a head full of red, flaming hair. In his slender palm, he was rotating two golden balls with complicated runes on them. Occasionally, the spiritual fluctuation let out from his body was vast and deep like the ocean, and no one could belittle his presence.
He laughed when he heard Dong Shan, and he said casually, ”It was just a test. I never thought this would be successful. Despite failing it, the Wen's suffered many losses given the strength of your team, correct?
Dong Shan's expression further darkened. ”They got away safe and sound. At the very last moment, a team that was completely new to me poked their noses into it. They are the helpers Wen Qingxuan invited.”
”Oh?” The rotation of the golden balls in Wu Tong's hands stopped momentarily. ”What's their strength?”
”An Advance Spiritual Array Ancestral Master and a Half Step to Complete Earthly Sovereign,” said Dong Shan. Apparently, Mu Chen and Luo Li, who were only Upper Earthly Sovereigns, had been utterly overlooked.
”An Advance Spiritual Array Ancestral Master?” Wu Tong squinted slightly and smiled gently. ”Looks like Wen Qingxuan was not too dumb. She actually knew how to find helpers. But does she think she can change anything just because she has an Advance Spiritual Array Ancestral Master?”
”The Wu's have prepared for the Spiritual Butterfly Relic for years. How could I give them any chance?”
He turned around and smiled at Dong Shan. ”Brother Dong, let's go to the relic together. Rest assured that the Wu's will not forget the reward that I promised you.”
”I hope so.” Dong Shan gave a silent sneer. The scar on his face was rather hideous when his face was twitching. His team had lost four Upper Earthly Sovereigns trying to intercept Wen Qingxuan and her clique. The loss impacted them significantly. After all, the people whom he had lost were experienced and fearsome.
Thinking of it, Dong Shan's eyes started to turn cold. ”When you capture them, leave that lad, Mu Chen, to me. I must let him know that death is the price for offending me.”
”Up to you.” Wu Tong laughed casually. He did not have any interest in Mu Chen's identity. To him, Wen Qingxuan and the rest were losers, and he had no time for losers. He looked into the distance and stared deep into the mountains. Greed slowly welled up within his eyes. ”Spiritual Butterfly Relic… Hehe. Whether I can be the second Heavenly Sovereign of the Wu's in the future will depend on this round.”
”Pass the orders down. We are setting off!”
”We need to rush ahead and prepare some presents for them.” He made a sudden turn, and his voice echoed off.
Shoo!
His figure darted out and beamed into a flash of light charging deep into the mountains. Numerous cold and black figures thrust out of the dense woods and followed closely behind him.
…
Shoo!
Back in the mountain range, ten light figures flitted low in the air as they looked out towards the mountains.
”The Spiritual Butterfly Relic is right in the middle of that mountain range. Given our speed, we will arrive in another hour.” Wen Qingxuan moved closer to Mu Chen while they were traveling. She sent her crisp, clear voice wrapped within spiritual energy to Mu Chen and the rest. ”But the people from the Wu family should be ahead of us, so we need to get there as quickly as possible to prevent them from beating us.”
Mu Chen and Luo Li nodded. They had not traveled so far just to pick up the remains left by the other party. Hence, they upped their speed drastically and flitted across the sky. A booming sound seemed to be resounding quietly in the air.
An hour later after their full-speed charge, Wen Qingxuan, who was leading the way, gradually slowed down. Her long-slit eyes were looking somewhere far ahead.
Mu Chen and the rest followed her gaze. They saw an emerald miasma looming over the mountains. The spread of the miasma was so extensive that it seemed to have enveloped the entire mountain range.
Mu Chen took a sniff and felt the spiritual energy in his body become shaken up. An extreme feeling of repulsion surged from the bottom of his heart that wanted him to stay away from that zone encompassed by the emerald miasma.
