Chapter 466: Inner and Outer World
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Everyone in the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan was on tenterhooks, the other ancient martial arts influences in the series of three big Mountain ranges were also apprehensive of any possible approaching danger.
If those mysterious martial arts practitioners were merely plundering some benefits, many ancient martial arts influences would have reckoned to have compromised for it. Facing such strong experts, nobody wanted to offend them and would be willing to spend some money to get rid of the trouble.
However, this group had high demands and a great appetite. They were interested in all the heritage treasures in every Sect. Under such circumstances, if they were to be compromised for it, the Sects would have a hard time continuing their heritage.
At the moment, a small Sect was being occupied by that group of mysterious martial arts practitioners. Everyone in the Sect was made their slaves and were subjected to their any possible demands. A small Sect like this didn’t have the ability to resist, even the four big influences in the series of three big Mountain ranges united together might have imminent perils when faced with this group of people.
In the inner hall of the Sect, an old man in a white robe was sitting in the main seat. This person’s hair was completely white but had a baby face. One couldn’t tell how old he was from his face, but his eyes were sinisterly cold which would send chills down anyone’s spine.
There were many beautiful attendants around him attending to him respectfully. Anyone would be able to see the great terror and worry in their eyes.
There were many people standing in the hall, about 20 to 30 of them but merely three of them were seated. Other than the old man in a white robe in the main seat, there was another old man in a blue robe and a middle-aged man in green.
“Old man Wu, is whatever that man of Hu Clan said true?” the middle-aged man in green said with a grave face. His eyes had a sense of surprise with extremely suppressed excitement, like he met with an immensely joyous event but couldn’t believe it or didn’t dare to get in touch with it.
“Quite reliable, but can’t be fully trusted. Nobody knows if that man of Hu Clan was trying to delay the time by making up a story to trick us.” A sense of weirdness flickered in Old man Wu’s eyes but he said in a very calm tone.
“Sacred Flame Insignia! Ming Cult’s heritage! They actually appeared in this a poor and deserted village; simply unbelievable. The massive thing which had disappeared for four to five hundred years is going to reappear in this world again.” The eyes of another old man in blue were full of marvel.
Originally, they captured the top management of Hu Clan to torture them in order to find out the whereabouts of the Cold Ice Silk Palm, but they never expected that they didn’t find the Cold Ice Silk Palm and found a shocking secret instead.
The Ming Cult’s successor who had the Sacred Flame Insignia and Nine Yang Divine Technique actually appeared in this world! The heritage of Ming Cult was merely a legend for the past hundreds of years. Many people had already forgotten about it. After all, nobody knew if it was real for so many years.
However, in this poor and deserted village in the series of three big Mountain ranges, they got to know the whereabouts of the Ming Cult’s heritage. Everyone at the scene knew how shocking this news was.
“Regardless of whether it is true or fake, this matter must be investigated thoroughly. Furthermore, it must be kept strictly confidential. I don’t wish any news of this matter to be spread. If anyone dares to leak this news out, don’t’ blame me for being cruel.”
Old man Wu’s eyes were like two daggers before he swept them across the people at the scene including the other two who were seated.
“Old man Wu, don’t worry. We know how important this matter is so we will never speak freely of it.” The bodies of those people in the hall turned cold and began to declare their stance.
“Let’s go. Go to the Dafang Sect. I was saying why those people were gathered in Dafang Sect. Can it be because of this reason—the exceptionally talented youngster, the Sect Leader who is the successor of Ming Cult. Hmph. I want to see how talented he is.”
Old man Wu’s figure transformed into a streak of lightning and he instantly rushed out of the small Sect all the way to the Dafang Sect. Those people in the hall followed after him with their body motion like electricity. None of their Cultivation was actually below Qi Nucleation realm and there were more than ten martial arts practitioners who were above Embryonic Breathing realm.
Such a great influence which resulted in the Sects in the series of the three big Mountain ranges to unite and be apprehensive of.
At this moment, the leading four big Sects of the ancient martial arts influences in the series of three big Mountain ranges had brought the treasures of their Sects and gathered in the Dafang Sect. Among them, there were different elders and Sect Leaders of different Sects which made up 90 percent of the experts in the series of the three big Mountain ranges.
At this moment, the Dafang Sect’s Main Meeting Hall was already crowded with people. Most of them were martial arts practitioners from different big Sects. They had completely given up on their original Sects and brought the real Sect’s precious treasures with them.
It could be said that all the precious treasures of all the Sects in the series of the three big Mountain ranges were gathered in the Dafang Sect. As for other things, everyone didn’t seem to mind too much of it. Those people were unable to raid all the things in their Sects within a short period of time even if they intended to. Moreover, those people might not do that as the things they were actually interested in were all the important treasures that they brought with them.
In the main hall, different martial arts practitioners’ strengths were very obvious. Among them, the four big influences’ troops were the most massive with the greatest population. Even the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan who was reluctant to come yesterday came with the entire clan and were all gathered in the Dafang Sect.
Obviously, they were prepared to gather all their strengths for the final fight.
“Elder Wang Yinru, when is the Dafang Sect’s Sect Leader Mo going to be back?” In the main hall, Granny Hong Xia, who was sitting in front of everyone, spoke with a grave expression while looking at Wang Yinru who was nearby. She was the martial arts practitioner with the highest Cultivation and was most respected in the series of three big Mountain ranges. Therefore, this time she was in charge of this fight against the invaders. However, she was severely injured when she had a match with that group of people a day ago. Although they had temporarily warded off that group of people, it was difficult to have the same fighting capacity as before.
If that group of people was to invade again, they possibly couldn’t resist them.
At this time, everyone in the main hall was only concerned about one thing—the mysterious young Sect Leader of Dafang Sect. The strength that he possessed had given some hopes to the people in the main hall.
Previously, all the people wished Mo Wen to leave the series of the three big Mountain ranges and never to return eventually, but now, everyone was hoping that the young Sect Leader would return to save the day.
“The Sect Leader is quite secretive with his movement. I am really unsure about his whereabouts and when he will be back,” Wang Yinru said tepidly. In actuality, she sent a letter to Mo Wen due to the people’s pressure. She had absolutely no idea whether he would back and when he would be back. In the letter, she didn’t request for Mo Wen to come back but merely explained the matter and told him about the difference in strength between the group of people and them.
They were not afraid of the fighting capacity of the lower level as the series of the three big Mountain ranges had an advantage. However, the fighting capacity of the top level was lacking. As there were three martial arts practitioners in the Embryonic Breathing realm among that group of people and they were practicing exceptional martial arts. Particularly the leading person, his Cultivation should have surpassed the acme of the Embryonic Breathing realm and close to the Golden Elixir realm.
Originally Wang Yinru didn’t intend to look for Mo Wen, after all, Mo Wen had just left so to ask him back would show her incompetence. However, at this time, she didn’t have a choice as the people from different big influences in the surrounding were hoping that she would ask Mo Wen back.
“We may not be able to persevere for a few days. This group of people may strike again anytime. If Sect Leader Mo is unable to be back in two days’ time, I am afraid we may…” Yanxia Sect’s Sect Leader Yan Qiuyun said worriedly. She was saying it for Wang Yinru to hear her and in the meantime, this was also what everyone was hoping to hear. Unconsciously, everyone had virtually looked to Mo Wen for emotional sustenance.
“Sect Leader Yan, be patient. At this instant, I reckon the letter had reached the Sect Leader’s hand and perhaps he is already on his way back,” Wang Yinru replied with the same statement routinely. The surrounding people sighed one after another after hearing her. Wang Yinru had said this statement several times. It had a consoling effect at first but now everyone could merely sigh in despair.
“Is there any news from the person who delivered the letter to Huatian Palace previously?” Granny Hong Xia looked at another person. After the incident happened, she ordered someone to ask for help from the Huatian Palace. Several days had passed, it was about time to receive some news. If Huatian Palace was willing to take over this matter, the crisis which had been troubling them would be resolved immediately.
After she had spoken, everyone looked towards the person who was responsible for the delivery of the letter to the Huatian Palace, their eyes hidden with hope.
“The letter had been delivered to the Huatian Palace, but there has been no reply. I don’t know when we will get a reply.” That person heaved a sigh. It will be better to hope for the young Sect Leader to return in time than to count on Huatian Palace. Although Huatian Palace manages the ancient martial arts world, there are very few things it will intervene. As long as it doesn’t touch Huatian Palace’s bottom line, Huatian Palace won’t bother about it. There are many people who will complain to Huatian Palace daily, but very rarely it will be handled. Unless one had suffered injustice due to a clan annihilation, they simply won’t bother about others.
Everyone sighed deeply. Unless that group of people intended to annihilate all the ancient martial arts practitioners in the series of the three big Mountain ranges, merely plundering basically wouldn’t get the attention of the Huatian Palace.
“Granny, who exactly is that group of people? They are too arrogant and unruly,” Ruan Feixia said indignantly. In the ancient martial arts world, there are many Sects which are stronger than them, but very few will do such a thing. Not only is it going to affect their reputation, one may leave a bad impression in the ancient martial arts world in the future. If it is serious, one may be possibly outcasted by everyone.
That group of people acted so outrageously without any apprehension and didn’t seem to mind their reputation, how different are they from the Heretic forces?
“Perhaps the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan knew a little bit about the origin of that group of people. I don’t know at all.” Granny Hong Xia looked askance at the people of the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan while speaking stoically.
The people in the main hall looked at the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan one after another, but with hostile looks. This sudden change in the series of the three big Mountain ranges was solely due to the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan. If Ghost Physicians Hu Clan didn’t hide the Cold Ice Silk Palm, that group of people wouldn’t have come to this place.
All the people of Ghost Physicians Hu Clan smiled bitterly as they knew that their current situation was very awkward, so they didn’t try to hide anything.
“We don’t know the exact origin of that group of people. However, they know the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan very well while we don’t know them well at all. Most possibly, they are martial arts practitioners from the Inner world…” Hu Tianfeng took a deep breath before saying somberly. He had been pondering upon this problem for the past few days and realized that the origin of that group of people to be very mysterious. There was simply no trace of them in the ancient martial arts influences in the ancient martial arts world, so he suspected that that group of people to be possibly from the Inner world.
