Chapter 745: Disturbing The Venue
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Beside Zong Changsheng, there sat a group of ancient martial art practitioners. They were the members of the Maple Forest Valley from the Sirius Mystery Dimension. Impressively, Pei Fengwu was among them. However, in such a gathering, with her identity and status, she could only sit in the back row.
On the main seat in the center sat a white-robed elder. He looked to be the oldest person present based on appearance. That was indeed the case. This person was none other than Tan Qiyue, who had previously had some interaction with Mo Wen. He had lived in seclusion in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension for more than a century. He was more than two hundred years old, making him truly old even by the standards of Martial Arts Grandmasters.
However, there was nothing to be amazed about. Tan Qiyue had profound cultivation that had reached the Martial Arts Grandmaster Second Realm. The realms were worlds apart. His lifespan was naturally much longer than that of common Martial Arts Grandmasters.
Other than Zong Changsheng and Tan Qiyue, there were two other groups of people among the crowd who had encountered Mo Wen before. One of them were the members of Cold Light Pavilion from the Floating Mystery Dimension. Their leader was Lan Zhongzhi. The other group was the Yinyuan Sect members, who had a close relationship with the Maple Forest Valley which Pei Fengwu was from.
Gong Zhangyan and Gong Xingyu were among the crowd too. During the event, Gong Xingyu socialized normally as though nothing had changed. However, Gong Zhangyan’s facial expression was dull. He kept his head low and occasionally glanced at Pei Fengwu. His gaze was complicated.
After Zong Changsheng left the Fighting Spirit Tower, he was teleported to the Qingzhen District. He had come all the way to Intentionless City in search of a passageway to the outer world. Initially, he wanted to borrow the Intentionless City’s passageway to leave the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. However, something had happened to the Intentionless Sect. The situation in Intentionless City was complicated, and the city was controlled by a few factions.
He tried to communicate with the factions in Intentionless City, hoping that he could borrow their space passageway. However, not only did they decline his request, but they surrounded him and his companions, suspecting their identities.
At that time, the two parties were caught in an argument. But before the argument became a battle, it was stopped by Tan Qiyue, who had been teleported to somewhere near Intentionless City. After that, the Purple Qi Pavilion and the Five Beasts Sect were shocked when they found out that Zong Changsheng was a Martial Arts Grandmaster strong practitioner. If Tan Qiyue had not appeared in time, the Purple Qi Pavilion and the Five Beasts Sect would surely have suffered great losses.
Who would have thought that among the group of ancient martial art practitioners popping out of nowhere, there would be a few pinnacle of the Golden Elixir Realm practitioners and even a Martial Arts Grandmaster?
After discovering the identity of Zong Changsheng and the rest, the Purple Qi Pavilion and the Five Beasts Sect would not dare to stand in their way. Under normal circumstances, Zong Changsheng and his group would have left the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension yesterday.
However, Tan Qiyue was well aware that currently there were many ancient martial art practitioners from other places in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. As well as those from the Maple Forest Valley, there were 20 to 30 groups of foreign ancient martial practitioners in the dimension. Moreover, all of them were absolute strong practitioners. Martial Arts Grandmasters could be seen everywhere.
In order to maintain the peace of the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension and to avoid any disturbances caused by the appearance of these foreigners, Tan Qiyue immediately sent out a message to all the sects in the dimension through the Purple Qi Pavilion and the Five Beasts Sect: if anyone encountered these foreign ancient martial art practitioners, they should give their full cooperation and actively send these foreigners out of the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. At the same time, Tan Qiyue arranged a banquet to welcome the few groups of ancient martial art practitioners who appeared outside Intentionless City.
Naturally, Tan Qiyue did so not to meddle, but to spread the news through such a gathering. The news that was to be spread to the ancient martial art practitioners from the outside world was that he, Tan Qiyue was in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension holding the fort and that there were strong practitioners protecting it. It was also to warn them not to stir up trouble in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension.
As a matter of fact, if it wasn’t for Tan Qiyue holding the fort in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, something most likely would have happened. With so many Martial Arts Grandmasters from outside swarming into the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, problems were likely. After all, in a world where strong practitioners were kings, any one of those people had the ability to eradicate any sects in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension.
Three strong sects and four Martial Arts Grandmasters had gathered in the main hall. The standard of this banquet was high, to the extent where common ancient martial art practitioners would shrink back at the sight of it. Without a strong practitioner like Tan Qiyue around, a gathering like this would never happen in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension.
In the banquet, rows of maids dressed in white stood on both sides, serving every guest attentively. In the empty space in the center, female dancers were dancing elegantly. There was singing and the scent of wine filled the air.
Yin Banshuang and the innocent youth from the Purple Qi Pavilion, Meng Tiantian were among them. However, with their statuses, they could only act as serving girls. Almost all the youths that appeared in this main hall were the most outstanding youths from the various sects in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension.
They served the guests while curiously watching the senior experts. To them, Martial Arts Grandmasters only existed in legends. They only heard rumors but certainly never encountered such existences. After all, in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, the strongest practitioners were merely of the later stage of the Golden Elixir Realm. Even the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir Realm was an inconceivable existence.
But right now, four Martial Arts Grandmasters had appeared at the same time, and there were countless pinnacle of the Golden Elixir Realm ancient martial art practitioners. Even in their dreams, they had not imagined such an occasion, let alone experienced one with their own eyes.
Even Ye Rong, one of the three main pavilion leaders in the Purple Qi Pavilion, waited and served in the main hall. She did not dare to be careless at all.
In the main hall, everyone was entertained and all of them mingled in harmony.
“Elder Tan, thank you for your hospitality this time. It is an utmost honor. It is getting late, so we are preparing to make our way back to our sect. If Elder Tan is ever in the Floating Mystery Dimension, do feel free to come visit the Cold Light Pavilion. We will welcome and host you at any time.”
Lan Zhongzhi saluted with his fists, preparing to get up and bid farewell. Originally, he had not planned to stay another day in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. But Tan Qiyue had insisted he stay and it was difficult to turn down such kindness. The other party was an absolute strong practitioner of the Martial Arts Grandmaster Second Realm, far surpassing him. Since Tan Qiyue had asked him to stay, Lan Zhongzhi naturally could not leave. He had to give Tan Qiyue face. No matter how powerful the Cold Light Pavilion was, they were not so powerful as to look down on an absolute strong practitioner of the Martial Arts Grandmaster Second Realm.
However, Lan Zhongzhi was indeed anxious to return to the Cold Light Pavilion. Too many things had happened in the Fighting Spirit Tower. Some incidents and pieces of information were rather important. He had to return as soon as possible and report these matters to the pavilion leader.
“Since Brother Lan has matters to attend to, then…” Tan Qiyue had not finished speaking when his gaze suddenly changed and he looked out of the main hall. His eyes flickered with bright light.
Almost at the same time, the few Martial Arts Grandmaster strong practitioners in the main hall also frantically stood up as they looked out of the main hall.
Soon, it was not just the Martial Arts Grandmasters who wore astonished expressions. Almost all of the ancient martial art practitioners could feel an extraordinary aura sweep into the main hall.
The astonishing Cold Qi surged into the main hall like a tide. The wine on the tables, the tables themselves, the ground, the pillars, the ceiling; almost in an instant, all was frozen over with a layer of ice crystals.
“The entire city is frozen! Such astonishing power. Who did this?”
Tan Qiyue’s expression turned sullen. The reason he had treated so many ancient martial art practitioners from the outside was to send out a message of good faith. His goal was that they would not cause trouble in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. But from the looks of it right now, his authority seemed to be of no use. Not only had someone stirred up trouble, but they had also done so right under his nose!
It was such a terrifying cold attribute power. It was definitely not something ancient martial art practitioners in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension could do. Whoever did this was at least a Martial Arts Grandmaster.
