Invincible Kungfu Healer Chapter 988 - The Gray-Robed Youth

Chapter 988: The Gray-Robed Youth

In the end, Mo Wen obtained two Fire Leaving Stones from Bazzle. He did keep his promise and did not steal any other treasures or kill any members of the Lie Ban Tribe.
Mo Wen became a bolt of lightning and took Sa’anqi along with him as he flew towards the horizon, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Bazzle gazed at the vanishing silhouette with an ugly expression on his face. The two Fire Leaving Stones had been the treasures of the Lie Ban Tribe for thousands, even tens of thousands of years. They had been passed down from generation to generation. The past chiefs all saw them as precious treasures. In the end, when it was his turn to guard the stones, they had been snatched away by an outsider. It was almost enough to earn Bazzle a reputation as a criminal of the Lie Ban Tribe.
“Lord Chief, that person…” Halina said hesitantly as he cautiously flew over. Even in his wildest dreams, he had not imagined that the situation would develop to this point. That person was too powerful.
“Don’t say anything. Lie Ban City is yours to handle.”
As he said this, Bazzle became a beam of fiery light and flew towards the horizon. The Lie Ban Tribe had encountered such a huge loss. It was a disgrace and a humiliation. He had to go immediately to the main city to report to the Lord Clan Leader. That human was so arrogant and had looked down on the Flame Horn Clan. They would absolutely not let this go.
The hatred in Bazzle’s heart caused his rage to flame. However, he had no way of unleashing it. He could only head over to find the Flame Horn Clan Leader.
A thousand miles away, a bolt of lightning dashed past in the desert. Lightning flashed and everywhere it passed, dark clouds gathered. The clouds even seemed to block out the heat of the desert.
“Lord, now that you have obtained the Fire Leaving Stones, does that mean that I can…”
Sa’anqi was enveloped by a bolt of lightning. Mo Wen had carried him along for the entire journey. It was a few times faster than if Sa’anqi had flown by himself. Right now, Sa’anqi could not wait to get away from this human. If Sa’anqi continued to follow him, only the Heavens knew what would happen.
Mo Wen had only just arrived in the ancient land and had already offended the entire Flame Horn Clan. Only the Heavens knew what he would do next. If Sa’anqi kept traveling with him, he would be in danger and had no ideas where he might end up.
“Do you know where the Flame Horn Clan’s main city is? Show me the way to their main city. After that, you may leave,” Mo Wen said.
“The Flame Horn Clan’s main city!” Sa’anqi was shocked. What did this human plan to do? He had just finished offending the Flame Horn Clan. Now, he wanted to head to the clan’s main city and surrender himself? The Flame Horn Clan’s stronghold was not like the Lie Ban Tribe. Most of the Flame Horn Clan’s strong practitioners lived there, and there were probably dozens of them with Bazzle’s level of ability. There were even incredibly powerful practitioners like the Flame Horn Clan Leader.
“Rumor has it that the Flame Horn Clan Leader’s crown is embedded with a Fire Leaving Diamond. Is this true?” Mo Wen asked.
The intel that Wise Man Ku Ji had given Mo Wen stated that the Fire Leaving Diamond was in the Flame Horn Clan Leader’s crown. Mo Wen did not know where he had got that intel from but since, since Wise Man Ku Ji said so, he must have been confident.
“You…”
Sa’anqi stared at Mo Wen wide-eyed, as though he was staring at a ghost. Could it be that this human planned to steal the Fire Leaving Diamond from the leader’s crown? He was crazy! He had definitely gone mad!
“Is it true?” Mo Wen asked calmly. His tone revealed a hint of coldness.
“Yes, yes. The stone embedded on the Flame Horn Clan’s Leader’s crown is a Fire Leaving Diamond.” Sa’anqi realized that he was still a hostage whose life was at the mercy of his kidnapper, so he nodded immediately, not daring to question Mo Wen any further.
Mo Wen nodded. He had needed to validate the information so that he would not make a futile trip.
According to Wise Man Ku Ji, the easiest and fastest way to obtain a Fire Leaving Diamond was by stealing the crown of the Flame Horn Clan Leader. However, even Wise Man Ku Ji agreed that this proposal had a very slim chance of being executed successfully, so he would be satisfied with Mo Wen getting him a Fire Leaving Stone.
A bolt of lightning flashed past and crossed the desert quickly. The Red Hot Desert was indeed very big. At Mo Wen’s regular speed, it would still probably take him five to six days to reach the main city of the Flame Horn Clan.
Mo Wen was not in a rush. While he was flying leisurely, he was also comprehending the illusionary spirit release technique. This release technique was created by the elder from the Ancient Age Creation Sect. It was equivalent to a middle path remarkable power. Besides that, the fundamentals were simple, and Mo Wen was assisted by the imitation of the Illusionary Spirit Divine Wings, so it was not hard for him to practice this release technique.
Time slipped past without them noticing. On the sixth day, Mo Wen could finally see a huge city in the distance. Even when they were still a few hundred miles away, they could sense the majesty of the city. Leaving aside other details, the scale of the main city was at least ten times that of Lie Ban City.
The main city of the Flame Horn Clan was the biggest in the Red Hot Desert. It had a history going back a million years, and it had remained standing throughout all that time.
“Hmm? There is an intense fluctuation of spiritual energy. There is a battle going on in the Flame Horn City.” Mo Wen frowned slightly. Even though they were still a few hundred miles away from the city, the fluctuation caused by the battle was rather intense. It could be sensed from a few hundred miles away.
“Flame Horn City is the main city of the Flame Horn Clan. The members of the clan treat it as a sacred land. All battles are forbidden there. How could there be battle fluctuations from the Flame Horn City?”
Sa’anqi was shocked. Normally, there would be no battles in Flame Horn City. Battles would only occur during special occasions when the Flame Horn Clan hosted some events. However, today was clearly not one of those days.
Mo Wen was curious, so he unleashed his deified soul and instantly scanned the area within a thousand-mile radius. His deified soul covered a large portion of Flame Horn City.
“Huh? There is a human cultivator in the city. He is strong!”
Mo Wen was secretly astonished. A human cultivator was battling with a foreign clan creature in Flame Horn City. Both of them were very powerful. The ability of the foreign clan creature was probably ten times greater than Bazzle’s.
“Who is it?” Mo Wen thought to himself, shocked.
A human who would appear in the preliminary ancient land at this time had to be one of the few geniuses from the Huatian Palace. Only one of them would have such ability.
As the two of them continued to approach the city, Sa’anqi’s deified soul also roughly swept across the entire combat zone. As he glanced across, he became even more shocked.
“Human. It’s actually another human!”
He could tell at a glance that the living creature that was battling was a bona fide human.
“That’s… that’s… the Flame Horn King!”
When Sa’anqi saw the other creature clearly, he couldn’t help but draw in a cold breath. The human was fighting the dignified Flame Horn King, the Clan Leader of the Flame Horn Clan.
“Mad…mad! The entire ancient land has gone mad!” Sa’anqi mumbled to himself. His eyes were filled with a look of disbelief. That human had actually dared to take on the Flame Horn King alone! Why were the human preliminary cultivators who came to the ancient land now all so terrifying?
“That person… in terms of ability, he is much higher than Chu Yu. Also, that person has not broken through to the Primordial Soul Realm and yet is already so powerful.”
Mo Wen was shocked. As expected, he could not underestimate the heroes of the world.
“Lord Mo Wen,” Sa’anqi said, stammering as he looked at Mo Wen with a teary face.
The Flame Horn Clan main city was right in front of them. Also, the youth before him called Mo Wen was clearly not to be trifled with. Only the Heavens knew what sort of havoc he would wreak in Flame Horn City. This was not Lie Ban City. The experts of Flame Horn City might see that Sa’anqi had come with this human and would rip him to shreds.
“You may go.”
Mo Wen did not give Sa’anqi a hard time and continued flying towards the Flame Horn City. Mo Wen was here for the Fire Leaving Diamond. What was the other person here for? Could it be that he was also here for the Fire Leaving Diamond?
Clearly, that person had not come to the Flame Horn Clan main city just for the joys of traveling.
Sa’anqi gave a sigh of relief. Thankfully, this human was trustworthy. Sa’anqi did not fly off immediately; instead, he secretly flew towards Flame Horn City. As long as he was not with the human preliminary cultivator, he was afraid of nothing. Deep down, he was curious as to what these two human preliminary cultivators would do in Flame Horn City.
Mo Wen could travel a few hundred miles in a snap. After a moment, he flew into Flame Horn City, heading straight towards the battleground.
It was a spacious square, and its surroundings were empty. However, since the battle between the two of them was too intense and affected too huge of an area, the nearby buildings were still affected by the battle. Blocks of buildings had collapsed. Cracks ranging from a few centimeters to tens of meters could be seen on the ground.
The human was a youth with distinct facial features. He seemed tough, and his face was masculine and handsome. However, his hair was messy, and his beard was left unkempt. He looked shaggy and despite his tough appearance, he seemed dispirited. He was wearing a dirty gray robe. One could not sense any youthfulness from him.
The youth was wielding a saber. Every strike of his saber could tear the space. It was extremely powerful. He casually sent out a strike, and the saber Qi traversed a hundred miles. Almost all the buildings within the radius of a hundred miles were destroyed by him.
The appearance of the other human-like creature was bizarre. He belonged to a foreign clan in the ancient land. He was more than a thousand feet tall, and his body was like that of a snake. His skin was densely covered with dark red scales that looked like jade. He had a pair of fleshy wings behind his back. He had eagle-like claws; however, he was neither a fish nor a dragon. He had an odd-shaped head which meant that he resembled nothing.
The creature of the foreign clan emanated a rather frightening force. He had definitely surpassed the ordinary pinnacle of the Primordial Soul Realm. From his body, Mo Wen even felt a strength approaching the Tide Changing Realm. Although the living creatures in the ancient land could not cultivate to the Tide Changing Realm, years of constant cultivation would cause the outstanding ones among them to break through the pinnacle of the Primordial Soul Realm. Then, they would infinitesimally approach the Tide Changing Realm.
The Three Great Kings of the ancient land were strong practitioners that surpassed ordinary Tide Changing Realm cultivators. Below the Tide Changing Realm, the might of their combat ability was definitely astonishing.
The foreign clan creature before him was evidently also a living creature that had surpassed the pinnacle of the Primordial Soul Realm.
Mo Wen’s appearance was immediately noticed by both of the combatants. They frantically swept their deified souls over to take a look.
“Huh? A human?” A look of surprise flashed in the gray-robed youth’s eyes. He had not expected that another human would come to Flame Horn City.
“It’s another human! D*mn it!”
The foreign clan creature discovered that another human had intruded so blatantly into his Flame Horn City. He immediately felt ticked off and, despite the battle he was engaged in, found the time to send a tail swiping furiously over. Immediately, a heatwave filled the sky, and a wave of magma surged towards Mo Wen like an avalanche. The frightening power could kill a pinnacle of the Primordial Soul Realm strong practitioner in an instant.
The gray-robed youth raised his eyebrows and frowned. He wanted to lend a hand but was stopped by the foreign clan creature. It was very obvious that this foreign clan creature was still at ease while fighting with the gray-robed youth.
Humph!
Mo Wen coldly snorted. A black light flashed over his body. The next moment, cold winds raged and cold Qi swept over like a tide. The magma flow that was crashing over instantly froze in mid-air.
“Yin Yang Qi: Tai Yin Power. Nice!” the gray-robed youth shouted out in praise. He had already guessed this youth’s identity. Right now, he was even more certain. After all, there were only a few people that entered the Path of Creation this time around.
