Chapter 585: Leader of Medical Sect
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Even from such a distance, Mo Wen could sense that the old man was not very friendly. He looked at the old man in white a little curiously. It seemed as though the two of them did not know each other. In the face of such ridiculous hostility, Mo Wen also felt a little bewildered.
“That old man is the Sect Leader of Medical Sect,” Chen Wuhui said in a low voice. “He is the top in medicine concoction in the whole of Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. Other than his amazing concoction techniques, his cultivation is also very frightening.”
Everyone knew that the Sect Leader of Medical Sect had a very scary cultivation. However, nobody knew just how frightening it truly was. Although the Medical Sect was ranked fourth in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, that had a lot to do with the nature of Medical Sect. Based on pure capabilities, they may not be any worse off than Weapon Forging Sect.
All along, the sects in Green Ancient Mystery Dimension had been split into quite a number of levels. Five Beasts Sect and Purple Qi Pavilion were of the top level, and the two sects had been at odds for years. At the second level were Weapon Forging Sect and Medical Sect. Although these two sects were not as strong as Five Beasts Sect and Purple Qi Pavilion, they had collaborated with Sacred Flame Sect and Changming Sect. Hence, they were now on par with Five Beasts Sect and Purple Qi Pavilion.
Weapon Forging Sect and Medical Sect had also been at odds for many years. They had also formed alliances. Originally, Medical Sect had always been in an alliance with Sacred Flame Sect. However, Sacred Flame Sect has suffered a setback and was defeated at the hands of Intentionless Sect. Hence, it was akin to cutting off one of Medical Sect’s trusty partners. In the future, when they had to battle with Weapon Forging Sect, Medical Sect would inevitably be at a disadvantage.
Hence, Intentionless Sect had gotten into the bad books of Medical Sect. At the same time, everyone was curious how the deteriorating Intentionless Sect could possibly defeat the strong and mighty Sacred Flame Sect. Moreover, it had been under such harsh circumstances.
Yu Fei appearing in Intentionless Sect and poisoning Old Grandfather Chen could not possibly be a coincidence. Nobody would have believed that. Medical Sect definitely had to know something about it or even be directly involved in some way by dispatching Yu Fei to harm Old Grandfather Chen.
It was just that these things did not have any evidence. Even if Intentionless Sect was sure of Medical Sect’s role to play, they could only play dumb and keep it in. After all, Medical Sect was not Sacred Flame Sect. Intentionless Sect simply could not afford to offend them.
As the Sect Leader of Medical Sect, Jiang Pingzhou had constantly been checking up on just what hidden weapon Intentionless Sect had. However, even after tens of days, he had not received any valuable information.
Now Jiang Pingzhou finally understood that the mysterious youth was very likely the key in the defeat of Sacred Flame Sect. With his abilities, coupled with that of Chen Wuhui, there was a very high chance that they had been able to kill the two Sect Leaders of Sacred Flame Sect.
Mo Wen nodded and glanced over at the Sect Leader of Medical Sect. Silently, he noted him down into his memory. However, he did not say a word. He could sense that Jiang Pingzhou was very powerful. There was a very shocking inner Qi hidden within him. He was definitely not any less powerful than Jiang Jingtao, and could possibly even surpass him.
“Young man, I’m afraid you aren’t from Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. What motive do you have for coming over to Green Ancient Mystery Dimension all by yourself?” Jiang Pingzhou had a very calm expression. Mo Wen ignored him but Jiang Pingzhou did not get angry and simply continued to ask.
“Old man, has anyone ever told you that you are very noisy?” Mo Wen said expressionlessly. Since he knew that the other party was not being friendly, he had no reason to be respectful. He offended him so simply the moment he opened his mouth. He seemed to have no motive other than to cause a greater rift between them.
“You…” Jiang Pingzhou had not expected that this youth would say such words. Immediately, his expression grew dark.
“Haha, Old Man Jiang, you are really worsening by the day. Even a young and inexperienced lad can scold you right in your face like that.” Not far away, Jiang Jingtao erupted into laughter. His laughter reverberated and all the ancient martial art practitioners in the vicinity could hear it.
Weapon Forging Sect and Medical Sect had been at odds for so many years. Jiang Pingzhou and Jiang Jingtao were no exception. They were also foes of many years. Jiang Jingtao would not let up on the chance to mock Jiang Pingzhou.
“I wondered who was it just now who kept saying that he wanted to teach his juniors a lesson. Now, that junior is standing right here.” Jiang Pingzhou laughed coldly. Naturally, Jiang Pingzhou could tell that he was trying to cause a rift. He didn’t like Mo Wen but he hated Jiang Jingtao more. Naturally, he would not get into a fight with Mo Wen. That would only benefit Jiang Jingtao.
“Young man, next time, I will make you understand why it is important to respect your elders.” Jiang Pingzhou looked at Mo Wen coldly. Then, with a flash of his figure, he headed right into a passageway. At this time, he naturally would not get into a fight with Mo Wen. Obtaining the treasure of Luofeng Sect was his top priority at the moment.
On the opposite side, it was still a deep passageway that was leading downwards. The people of Five Beasts Sect and Purple Qi Pavilion had already headed downwards. Naturally, the people of Weapon Forging Sect and Medical Sect did not dare to wait for too long before doing so as well.
Within a short time, a whole group of ancient martial art practitioners was no longer resting. Instead, they began to head into the passageway one after the other.
‘Mo Wen, you have to be more careful later. Medical Sect is very powerful and has many hidden powers. They could very likely be even stronger than Weapon Forging Sect.” Chen Wuhui looked at Mo Wen a little worriedly. Previously, Mo Wen had offended Weapon Forging Sect. Now, he had also offended Medical Sect. These two sects were both the top in existence in Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. Neither one of them could be handled by Intentionless Sect.
“Moreover, you have to take notice of Changming Sect as well. That sect has always been united against a common enemy with Weapon Forging Sect. Since Weapon Forging Sect is now against you, Changming Sect will definitely be against you as well.” Chen Zikuang reminded Mo Wen of this a little worriedly. Amongst the Eight Major Factions, Intentionless Sect and Xingyi Sect were the weakest. Above them were Changming Sect and Sacred Flame Sect, followed by Medical Sect and Weapon Forging Sect at the top.
All along, the ancient martial art powers in Green Ancient Mystery Dimension had been maintained at a balance. Five Beasts Sect restrained Purple Qi Pavilion and Weapon Forging Sect restrained Medical Sect. Chengming Sect restrained Sacred Flame Sect, and Weapon Forging Sect collaborated with Chengming Sect, such that they could restrain both Five Beasts Sect and Purple Qi Pavilion.
Hence, for the past hundreds of years, there were no monopolizing powers in Green Ancient Mystery Dimension.
Originally, if Sacred Flame Sect overstepped their boundaries and wanted to attack Intentionless Sect, Weapon Forging Sect and Changming Sect would not allow it under normal circumstances. However, this time was an exception. No one knew what price Sacred Flame Sect and Medical Sect had paid, to make the other two major sects condone Sacred Flame Sect’s actions.
Now that Sacred Flame Sect had been gotten rid of, it also meant that the initial balance was disrupted. The Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, which had been peaceful for so many years, would soon see chaos.
Team after team of ancient martial art practitioners began to fly into the passageway. The passageway was very deep and was estimated to be thousands of meters long. However, they did not meet with any dangers along the way.
“What is that?” Chen Wuhui was flying in the front. Suddenly, his eyes lit up in surprise. He simply saw that the path ahead was suddenly widening. It was a huge cave and the end of the cave had a huge stone door. The stone door was at least a hundred meters tall and over 30 meters wide. It radiated with a very heavy aura.
Looks of excitement flashed through the eyes of all the ancient martial art practitioners. Without a doubt, it was very possible that the treasures of Luofeng Sect were hidden behind that stone door.
“Open that stone door.” One of the ancient martial art practitioners could not restrain himself. He fiercely flew towards the stone door and used a fist to punch onto the stone.
It was to be expected that the power of an ancient martial art practitioner with the intermediate stage of the Golden Elixir realm would create a huge hole in the door with a simple punch. However, when his fist made contact with the stone door, not only had the door been unaffected without a single crack, he had actually been the one crying out in pain as he bounced back.
“So hard.” That ancient martial art practitioner inhaled coldly as he slowly fell onto the ground. He caressed one of his hands. The bone of the hand which he had used to punch the stone door had been broken.
When the surrounding ancient martial art practitioners witnessed that, they all exhaled coldly. Just what kind of stone door was that, that it could be so hard!
The ancient martial art practitioner was a Sect Elder of Five Beast Sect, and he was a practitioner of the intermediate stage of the Golden Elixir realm. Everyone knew of his abilities. He should have been able to move a whole mountain, never mind a stone door.
The Head of the Tiger Palace Hall, Bu Zhangkun, furrowed his brows and flew over to the stone door to get a closer look at it. Then, with a solemn expression, he said, “That stone door is incorporated with emery.”
When the ancient martial art practitioners heard that, they all laughed bitterly. A stone door that was incorporated with emery would only be able to be broken by an ancient martial art practitioner with the later stage of the Golden Elixir realm. Emery in the world of ancient martial arts was not average emery. Instead, it was a material that could be manufactured. When the weapon forging masters of Weapon Forging Sect crafted divine weapons, they would definitely use emery.
Moreover, emery could be used as a material in the world of Immortal Cultivators. Hence, they could be used in trade with Huatian Palace, in order to exchange for treasured goods.
Luofeng Sect had actually used emery to craft such a huge stone door. Indeed, they were not just the average kind of wealthy. A small to medium sect would probably not be able to afford this stone door even if they used all of their fortune.
“You old things, you don’t have to hide your abilities at such a time anymore. Just go ahead. If not, we won’t be able to even enter the door.” Pavilion Leader Ye Rong of Purple Qi Pavilion let out a cold humph before flying up immediately and appearing before the huge stone door in a flash. Then, she simply collided a strong punch onto the stone door.
Although Pavilion Leader Ye Rong appeared petite, her strength was shocking. The power of her single fist had created a huge dent in the stone door of about two to three inches, and there were small pieces all over the ground.
The power of an ancient martial art practitioner with the later stage of the Golden Elixir realm was finally out on display at that very moment. It far surpassed that of an ancient martial art practitioner with the intermediate stage of the Golden Elixir realm.
On the other side, the Head of the Tiger Palace Hall, Bu Zhangkun, had also appeared before the stone door in a flash and was attacking the stone door crazily.
Although the stone door that had emery incorporated into it was strong and hard, with the consistent blows of ancient martial art practitioners of the later stage of the Golden Elixir realm, it would break open in no time.
Jiang Pingzhou of the Medical Sect and Jiang Jingtao of Weapon Forging Sect exchanged glances for a moment. After realizing that they could not simply keep up the pretense, they flew towards the stone door one by one and knocked straight into it.
“Jiang Pingzhou looked back at Mo Wen, saying calmly, “Young man, your cultivation is exceptional and you can also cause harm to this stone door. Why are you not coming to help? Are you trying to just reap the benefits even though you have the capabilities to play a part?”
There were only four ancient martial art practitioners with the later stage of the Golden Elixir realm in there. The other ancient martial art practitioners had insignificant effects on that stone door so there was no need for them to get involved.
However, Jiang Pingzhou did not want to let Mo Wen off. This youth clearly had abilities that surpassed that of the average intermediate stage of the Golden Elixir realm. He was not too far away from the later stage of the Golden Elixir realm. Naturally, he did not wish for Mo Wen to remain and conserve his energy while they were all continuously using up their inner Qi.
“Senior, you really seem to care for a young person like me. However, it is just a stone door. If any of you are willing to give it your all, I believe one person would be able to break it down entirely. What’s the use of going to such trouble?”
Mo Wen looked at the four people and his lips curled up into a smile. If those four people were willing to give it their all, with the help of a spiritual weapon, they would be able to break the stone door open in no time at all. The whole reason they were not giving it their all was because they each wanted to conserve their own energy. In reality, such attacks would not affect an ancient martial art practitioner of the later stage of the Golden Elixir realm too greatly. The inner Qi that they used up would be regenerated in no time at all.
