A beam of light descended from the sky, enveloping Mo Wen’s body. The next moment, he had disappeared from the spot.
When he reappeared, he was on the altar.
When the six people who had remained on the altar awaiting the result saw Mo Wen walk out from the mysterious space, they frantically looked over in his direction. Their eyes were full of anxious inquiry. The result of the task affected the interests of everyone: nearly all of them would be concerned.
“Mo Wen, how did it go?” Gao Hanshan asked, unable to help himself.
If Mo Wen had failed, not only would they all fail the entire task, but it would cause a lot of trouble for Mo Wen. At the very least, Bu Xingyi’s distortion of the facts could cause many human ancient martial art practitioners to hate Mo Wen.
Bu Xingyi looked scornfully at Mo Wen. He had hoped that Mo Wen would fail, giving him a way to get rid of Mo Wen. If his plan had worked, not only would all the human ancient martial art practitioners cast Mo Wen aside, but the mysterious black-robed man would also want to punish him.
Bu Xingyi did not believe that Mo Wen was capable of killing a Beast King. The difference between a Beast King and a Lord monstrous beast was the same as the difference between heaven and earth. Mo Wen had been able to kill ten Lord monstrous beasts, but that did not mean that he could kill a Beast King.
Mo Wen nodded at Gao Hanshan, then coldly looked over at Bu Xingyi and the black-robed Chu Yuan. The corners of his mouth curled into a mocking smile. He did not say a word as he found a place to stand and lowered his gaze.
Bu Xingyi laughed coldly. “So, you failed the task? Can’t say anything now, can you?” Mo Wen’s silence and body language led Bu Xingyi to subconsciously believe that Mo Wen had failed. If the task had been a success he would surely have returned with a hint of joy on his face? Killing a Beast King was no small feat. Even Martial Arts Grandmasters would find it very difficult.
A light flashed in the eyes of the black-robed Chu Yuan. He stared at Mo Wen, seemingly hoping to figure out what had happened by looking at him.
“Stop looking. The results are not important. What is important is that I have said that I will kill you,” Mo Wen said as he turned to look at the black-robed Chu Yuan. After all, his grudge with the Ghost Lair was old news. This black-robed man was already on his must-kill list.
“Then I’ll be waiting,” Chu Yuan replied. There was a faint look of disdain between his eyebrows. Since Mo Wen wanted to seek death, he did not mind destroying a youth genius.
Nangong Mingzhu, Tan Qiyue, and the others also immediately looked at Mo Wen. Their eyes were full of inquiry. Mo Wen’s current mannerisms did not seem to be that of someone who had failed. However, until they knew the result exactly, everything was inconclusive.
At this moment, the voice of the Tower Spirit suddenly sounded. “Congratulations, Human Warrior Mo Wen. You have killed the Beast King and completed the task. Because of your many outstanding performances, you will receive the Tower Spirit’s high-rank reward: a superb grade Healing Light.”
A red light appeared before Mo Wen. The light was brilliant beyond compare. It did not resemble any light Mo Wen had seen before. At its center, there was a mass of solidified, clear red crystal.
A superb grade Healing Light!
As soon as they heard the announcement, everyone around Mo Wen suddenly narrowed their eyes and looked excitedly at the red crystal that floated before him in mid-air. It was the first time any of them had seen a superb grade light tool appear. Among all the human ancient martial art practitioners, Mo Wen was the first to obtain a superb grade light tool.
Even top grade light tools were rather difficult to obtain in this place, let alone superb grade light tools. All the people here were the cream of the crop among all the human ancient martial art practitioners, but even among them, there were few with top grade light tools.
Rumor had it that superb grade light tools had the ability to bring a person back from the dead. It could resurrect a dead person, even if their body was completely destroyed. As long as their soul had yet to completely dissipate, by using a superb grade Healing Light, one could save the person.
A superb grade Healing Light was truly equal to having a second life. Only the Immortal Cultivation world’s most heaven-defying pills had the ability to resurrect the dead.
It wasn’t only Bu Xingyi and Lan Zhongzhi that looked at Mo Wen with envy. Even the expressions of Nangong Mingzhu and Chu Yuan changed. Everyone gazed at him with admiration and jealousy.
A crimson light flashed in Chu Yuan’s eyes. He did not hide the look of greed in his eyes. This place was extremely peculiar, and more dangers were appearing all the time. Having a superb grade Healing Light meant that the chances of surviving would be much higher.
Mo Wen held the superb grade Healing Light in his hand. He was also excited. He had not expected that the Tower Spirit would reward him with a superb grade Healing Light. This item was an absolute treasure that would not be won, no matter how incredible the monstrous beast was.
Although it was not a superb grade Unsealing Light, a superb grade Healing Light was a panacea that could save his life. It could also save others, meaning he had a chance to resurrect someone in his hands.
Unfortunately, this superb grade Healing Light could only be used in here. If he could bring it out, that would go against the laws of heaven!
Chu Yuan licked his lips. His eyes flashed with a look of greed. “Mo Wen, if you offer up this superb grade Healing Light to me, not only will I let you live, I will reward you handsomely.”
Nangong Mingzhu rolled her eyes. Before this, he had threatened Mo Wen, and now he was demanding Mo Wen’s item. The members of the Ghost Lair were more and more shameless. If it was her, she would not dare make such a demand.
Tan Qiyue and Lan Zhongzhi were rendered speechless by such brazen behavior. Chu Yuan had no dignity at all. However, the two of them could sense an abnormal aura from Chu Yuan’s body and so they did not say anything. If they could avoid provoking him, they would. They were still astonished by his earlier appearance leading four Martial Arts Grandmasters. Everyone knew that this group of black-robed men were not to be trifled with.
“Offer it to you?” Mo Wen looked at Chu Yuan.
“That’s right. If you offer it to me, I will let bygones be bygones,” Chu Yuan said. “I can guarantee that I will not trouble you anymore.” Chu Yuan believed Mo Wen had only dared to challenge earlier because he had no choice but to try and preserve his image. If he gave the youth a chance to step down, Chu Yuan did not expect him to turn it down.
Chu Yuan had displayed his ability and power. He could kill Mo Wen once, and he could kill him again. Mo Wen having a superb grade Healing Light was meaningless. If Mo Wen offered it up to Chu Yuan, he could instead keep his little life.
“Haha…” Mo Wen laughed. His smile had an indescribable mockery. He bluntly said, “Who are you? Offer it to you? If you can offer me a superb grade Healing Light, I will consider letting you live. However, your measly life is not worth a superb grade Healing Light.”
Mo Wen was entertained by Chu Yuan’s shamelessness and smugness. Even Mo Wen was surprised to realize that there was actually a person in the world who felt so smug about themselves.
Mo Wen’s response to Chu Yuan drew gasps of shock from those around him. People gazed at him in shock.
Gao Hanshan laughed bitterly. Mo Wen was stubborn and uncompromising. Once he made up his mind, there would be no changing it. He was completely opposed to the black-robed man and there would be no turning back.
Nangong Mingzhu also looked at Mo Wen in surprise. She had not expected that this unknown youth would be so unyielding. Not only did he have guts, but he also would not act without restraint.
“Mo Wen, for you to offend Lord Chu Yuan in such a way then you must be seeking death.” Bu Xingyi laughed out loud. His eyes were full of glee. This Mo Wen was truly foolish. He dared to offend anyone at all. Could it be that Mo Wen truly believed that he was invincible?
As the Ming Temple’s Sect Grand Elder, Bu Xingyi’s knowledge was greater than that of an ordinary ancient martial art practitioner. When the group of black-robed men appeared before the Fighting Spirit Tower, he had already suspected that they were related with those mysterious heretic forces.
The heretic forces were a taboo topic in the main space and very few ancient martial art practitioner sects knew about them. However, in the Inner worlds, the heretic forces were no secret. Here, they were far more active than they were in the main space. Huatian Palace mostly fought the power of the heretic forces in the Inner worlds.
Some Inner world sects had come in contact with the heretic forces, while others had even secretly aligned with them. However, such matters were usually carried out in secret. Once word of it got out, the sects that had done so would certainly be eradicated by Huatian Palace.
The heretic forces were a terrifying existence strong enough to battle the Huatian Palace. The Inner world ancient martial art practitioner sects knew a thing or two about how powerful they were.
Ordinary ancient martial art practitioner sects did not dare offend the heretic forces at all. Even sects like the Ming Temple did not dare to provoke them. Of course, when it came to the heretic forces, Huatian Palace’s stance was still to protect the ancient martial art practitioner sects. Once the heretic forces went against an ancient martial art practitioner sect, Huatian Palace would certainly act to protect it.
Most of the time, Huatian Palace’s aid would not come quickly enough to deal with an emergency situation. Many sects in the Inner worlds still perished at the hands of the heretic forces because the Huatian Palace could not provide aid in time.
Hence, even in the Inner worlds, the heretic forces were also a taboo topic.
Bu Xingyi already saw through the black-robed man’s origins. He rejoiced at Mo Wen’s misfortune in provoking such a person. Aggravating the heretic forces would undoubtedly result in death.
“Chu Yuan, are the members of the Ghost Lair all so arrogant?” Mo Wen said mockingly. “You mongrels had better stop dreaming. If you want to kill me, then come at me. Stop spouting nonsense.”
This member of the Ghost Lair thought too highly of himself. They had been forced into hiding by Huatian Palace and did not dare to show their faces in the sun, and they still believed they were the masters of the world?
“You… seek… death…”
Chu Yuan narrowed his gaze. A bloody red light flashed in his eyes. He looked at Mo Wen as he uttered the words one by one. The next moment, his silhouette had disappeared from the spot.
Nangong Mingzhu had been calm since the very beginning of these events, but now even her expression changed. She looked at Mo Wen in astonishment. This youth actually knew about Chu Yuan’s origins. He even knew that he was from the heretic forces’ Ghost Lair!
It was impossible for ordinary ancient martial art practitioners to know so much about such matters. Who was this youth? He knew that Chu Yuan was a member of the Ghost Lair, and he actually still dared to be so diametrically opposed to him.
