Chapter 545: The Battlefield of Youth

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
As expected, the Snow Leopard King did not have low intelligence. Knowing that if it continued it would not reap any benefits, it did not continue in its pursuit as Mo Wen and the rest retreated. Instead, it led its pack of monstrous beasts in slowly backing off. In an instant, they had all disappeared from the wasteland.
“What’s going on? Just now…” Gongyang Cheng had just managed to rush over. Seeing that the group had escaped the chase of the pack of monstrous beasts, for a moment he was stunned and unable to respond to what had happened. Why had the pack of monstrous beasts all retreated in barely the time it took to take a few breaths? What exactly had happened?
From Yin Banshuang and Mo Wen attacking, to the Snow Leopard King’s angry outbreak, it was all over in the blink of an eye. Gongyang Cheng had still been far away and had not seen what had happened in the field at all.
As Gongyang Cheng spoke, the few members of the Purple Qi Pavilion, including Wu Feng, almost all turned to look at Yin Banshuang instantly. What had just happened was almost too shocking to describe. Going directly head-on with the Snow Leopard King and grievously injuring it with just one blow was almost impossible to imagine.
Even if it had been their Purple Qi Pavilion’s Pavilion Leader Ye Rong, achieving such a feat was a bit of a stretch.
They knew that Yin Banshuang was famous outside of the sect and had powerful combat ability, but they had never imagined that she would be as powerful as this. If the ranking between the Four Geniuses was not wrong, and the number two ranked Yin Banshuang was already so terrifying, then how powerful was the number one ranked Jiang Gujian?
In other words, was Yin Banshuang the real number one expert among the Four Geniuses, comparable to an intermediate stage Golden Elixir realm absolute strong practitioner of the older generation?
Yin Banshuang slightly lowered her head, concealing her eyes. She did not say anything, acting somewhat cold. In her heart, she knew that if it wasn’t for Mo Wen’s cooperation, she most likely would not have the courage to face the Snow Leopard King head-on, let alone be able to severely injure the beast. However, she would not say this out loud. The fewer people that knew about the soul attack, the more beneficial it would be for both her and Mo Wen.
If Yin Banshuang did not say anything, Mo Wen would also not say anything. He crossed his arms, not saying a word and pretended to be deaf and dumb.
Gongyang Cheng looked at Yin Banshuang. Although no one said anything, from the expressions of the people present, he could tell that the reason the Snow Leopard King retreated was most likely related to her. He opened his mouth but ultimately did not ask. Later, he would ask the members of his sect privately. That way would be more polite.
But he did not know that Wu Feng and the other elders of the Purple Qi Pavilion were even more incredulous and puzzled. Everyone did not understand how Yin Banshuang could become so powerful. It was practically alarming. If this was Yin Banshuang’s true ability, then in the future, who could be a match for her in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension?
“Young Mistress Yin, thank you for your assistance this time. The Purple Qi Pavilion and I will certainly remember this. When we return, we will report this to the pavilion leader and inform him of what has happened in the Beast Lair.” An elder from the Purple Qi Pavilion chuckled, breaking the awkwardness of the situation.
“You don’t need to thank me. Your Purple Qi Pavilion promised a reward. As long as you keep your word, it will be enough,” Yin Banshuang said plainly. She was seemingly uninterested in dealing more with the members of the Purple Qi Pavilion.
“Thank you, big brother. I will make sure the spiritual stones reach your hands.” When Meng Tiantian saw that her sect senior brother and a few elders had all safely returned, she broke into a smile, her small face brimming with joy. The few elders believed that Yin Banshuang was the one who saved them, but she did not think so. Without the help of big brother, how would Yin Banshuang have been able to help them?
“Now can we go?” Yin Banshuang cast a side glance at Mo Wen, her tone somewhat unfriendly. If it wasn’t for that fact that he enjoyed meddling in the business of others, maybe they would already have reached the third level. Could a mere few spiritual stones compare to the Vital Qi of heaven and earth?
Mo Wen smiled as he nodded his head at Meng Tiantian. Then, he saluted with his fists and said, “Farewell.”
Yin Banshuang coldly snorted. She led the way with a bright flash of her silhouette, flying towards the distance. Mo Wen, on the other hand, followed behind her in a good mood. He had obtained two hundred spiritual stones as a reward for doing nothing; it was great.
“Elder Gongyang, Yin Banshuang, and that youth are…” After the two of them had gone a fair distance, Wu Feng could not resist speaking to Gongyang Cheng about Yin Banshuang and Mo Wen. Right now he knew that their appearance had something to do with Gongyang Cheng for sure. He never imagined that after leaving for such a brief amount of time, Gongyang Cheng would have managed to find such powerful aid and return.
“Miraculously, we met them along the way.” Gongyang Cheng laughed bitterly and told them how he had encountered Yin Banshuang and Mo Wen.
“Two hundred spiritual stones. Thinking about it right now makes me ache. As elders of the Purple Qi Pavilion, we can only claim not more than five spiritual stones a year. Two hundred of them is equal to fifty to sixty years of our salaries,” Gongyang Cheng said painfully.
Two hundred spiritual stones was not a small amount. Even in the sects of the Eight Major Influences, that was a generous sum.
“Old Gongyang, like a miser, you should not be so heartbroken. This time, if we did not encounter Yin Banshuang, we most likely would have died in the Beast Lair. Us few old fellows dying is not really a problem, but Wu Feng is the pillar of the Purple Qi Pavilion. In the future, he will most likely become a pavilion leader, even practicing to the later stage Golden Elixir realm. His life is worth far more than two hundred spiritual stones.” An elder from the Purple Qi Pavilion flared up his mustache as he rolled his eyes at Gongyang Cheng. At Death’s door, this old man was actually still being fussy about those things. Yet alone two hundred spiritual stones, even if it was five hundred spiritual stones, at a moment like this, they could not be hesitant.
“Old Chen Yu, what do you know? How am I a miser? I am being wise and farsighted, understand? Just now you did not see the look in that brat’s eyes. It was as though he wanted to swallow up the Purple Qi Pavilion. If I did not intentionally put out a distressed expression, that brat would have absolutely gobbled us up. If that happened, not to mention two hundred, he would most likely not even agree to five hundred spiritual stones.” Gongyang Cheng could not stand other people calling him petty and a miser. He was so enraged that his mustache flared up and he stared wide-eyed as he loudly rejected the accusation.
In reality, just now if it wasn’t for the fact that the little girl Meng Tiantian had heroically sealed the deal then and there, and that they had not constantly bargained with Mo Wen, most likely they would not have come into an agreement even after Wu Feng and the rest had died at the hands of the Snow Leopard King.
Mo Wen did not know the Purple Qi Pavilion’s ability and heritage. He was using the Intentionless Sect as a reference when he mentioned 100 spiritual stones as a reward. If he knew that the Purple Qi Pavilion’s wealth was far greater than that of the Intentionless Sect, at least more than five times greater, he absolutely would not have offered 100 spiritual stones as a starting price.
“We have met the youth before. How is it that he is together with Yin Banshuang?” Wu Feng’s eyes flashed with a doubtful look, looking somewhat incredulously at his sect junior sister.
He naturally recognized Mo Wen. Before this, Mo Wen had swaggered around riding the Flaming Dragon Colt. It would be hard for him not to remember this person.
Before this, he only thought that the youth’s identity was not straightforward and he was most probably a young master from some large sect. But from the look of it now, the youth’s ability was most likely also not straightforward. Among other things, the people who could fly across the sky in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension were certainly Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioners.
So young and already having Golden Elixir realm cultivation was practically somewhat frightening. Most likely Jiang Gujian at his age could not compare with this Mo Wen. Which sect could cultivate such a disciple and yet still remain hidden and unknown to all?
Of course, he was most curious as to why this youth was together with Yin Banshuang. “What exactly was the connection between the two of them? Or in other words, what was the connection between the two sects behind them?
“I have never seen that youth, but his age and his cultivation are truly somewhat frightening.”
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the other elders of the Purple Qi Pavilion turned serious.
“He is together with Yin Banshuang. Could it be that the Five Beasts Sect has secretly cultivated a genius? If he is a genius of the Five Beasts Sect, then the next generation of the Five Beasts Sect will most likely exceed our Purple Qi Pavilion’s own,” another elder said worriedly.
The Five Beasts Sect had the extraordinary Yin Banshuang. If they had another, even more ridiculously talented youth genius, then in the future decades to come, it would truly become the Five Beasts Sect’s world.
“It shouldn’t be.” Wu Feng shook his head. “The elders may not know but on our way here…” The youth could not be a member of the Five Beasts Sect, otherwise, he would not have traveled alone on the way to the Beast Lair. Also, if this youth knew Yin Banshuang, then when he met her on the way here, she would not have acted that way. Hence, he was certain that this youth and Yin Banshuang did not already know each other.
The members of the Purple Qi Pavilion that headed over to the Tan Zi Beast Lair were divided into a few batches. A few elders led the ordinary disciples in one batch and a few pavilion leaders led their own disciples out to learn through experience in another. Hence, Gongyang Cheng and the other elders had not traveled together with Wu Feng.
“Big brother most likely has known Yin Banshuang only for a short while. Not long ago, he seemed to not have much understanding of the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. When we were at the Cropped Top Mountain, he asked me many silly questions,” Meng Tiantian said.
Before this, when she and Mo Wen had met on Cropped Top Mountain, big brother had asked silly questions that everyone except him knew the answers to. From this, she began to feel proud of herself, beginning to think that she had seen and known a lot.
“In your opinion, is it possible that this youth is not from the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, and is instead from other inner worlds?” An elder suddenly asked.
Even though the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension was a tiny inner world, often there were outsiders intruding the dimension. So, encountering ancient martial art practitioners from outside was not impossible. Furthermore, this youth had such extraordinary cultivation at such a young age, the probability of him originating from the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension was small.
“Then what is his goal for being together with Yin Banshuang?” Gongyang Cheng asked incredulously. For two such unrelated people to be walking together, if they did not have a goal, almost no one would believe it.
“There is certainly some matter that we do not know about.” Wu Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, glancing in the direction that Yin Banshuang and Mo Wen had disappeared into. Then, he suddenly said, “Elders, could I trouble you to bring sect junior sister back to the main camp? I want to continue learning through experiencing in the Beast Lair. I have a faint premonition that in this Beast Lair, it will become the battlefield of youth. As one of the Four Geniuses of the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, I will certainly not miss this.”
The reason he said this was that when he first stepped foot in the second level, he encountered a group of people. All of them were young men, with cultivation not lower than his. However, he knew none of them.
