776 Mysterious Martial Arts Grandmaster

A metal lump with such strong battle strength? Wang Qinghan was in disbelief. Just what was that thing?

Little Tang covered her mouth and widened her eyes. Could it be that there was a master hidden within that lump of black and gold?

The two sect leaders of Crimson Star Sect, both young and old, essentially had no room for resistance. Hence, they immediately became pig-headed.

\"Young man, you're being too arrogant. Crimson Star Sect is not an organization that you want to offend.\"

Suddenly, a sound rang out in the square. The sound was coming from nearby and reached the square almost at once.

A young man had appeared in the center of the square. He was dressed in white and his gaze was calm. His eyes were looking straight ahead and were not focused on anyone in particular. He exuded a high and mighty aura.

When this youth appeared, he attracted the gazes of everyone in the surrounding area.

Many of the people had confused looks in their eyes. Clearly, they were not familiar with this youth. Even those Elders of Crimson Star Sect who were stuck in the Pale Grey Mountain Peak did not recognize him.

\"Young Master Wuji, save us.\"

Although the Sect Elders of Crimson Star Sect did not recognize this person, it did not mean that their old sect leader did not recognize him either. The moment the youth appeared, Huo Qize let out a cry for help.

Now, Huo Qize had finally realized that he had underestimated this frightening youth. Just what realm was he at? It was simply too terrifying.

\"Young man, I don't want to interfere in your grudge with Crimson Star Sect. However, can you let Crimson Star Sect off for me? I can forget about all the trouble that you have created in Crimson Star Sect today, and we can let bygones be bygones.\"

The youth dressed in white who was referred to as Young Master Wuji let out a dreary sigh. It seemed as though Mo Wen was but a mere junior in comparison to him.

After Wang Qinghan saw this youth appear, her expression changed drastically. She looked very solemn because she had already guessed the youth's identity.

There was still some time until the start of the Martial Arts Circle Convention. Yet, so many people had already arrived at Crimson Star Sect. Things seemed a little unusual. Could it be that there was something different about the Martial Arts Circle Convention this year?

\"Are you telling me that I am supposed to leave Crimson Star Sect alone just because you asked me to? Who are you to tell me that?\"

Mo Wen's mouth curled up into a smile and his gaze drifted to that youth who had joined in halfway, with a mocking look. Let bygones be bygones? That was some confidence he had.

An invisible force restrained both Huo Qize and Huo Shuangnian. They were flown directly to the Black Gold Puppet and just like the Sect Elder of Crimson Sect, they became its captives.

\"Very arrogant indeed. I actually want to see how much longer you can stay arrogant for. By then, even if you beg me for mercy, I will not afford you any.\"

Xin Wuji smiled with his eyes squinted as a cold look flashed through them.

Just who was he?

Xin Wuji could not help but chuckle. So many youths had dared to say such things to him before. However, he had not expected that there would be someone talking to him in such a manner when he had only been back in the main space for two days. The ancient martial art practitioners in the main space were truly too confident of their abilities.

With the flash of his white figure, Xin Wuji spread into a series of illusory figures in the air. A Plum Blossom Folding Fan suddenly appeared in his hand, emitting a series of strange spiritual waves. Apparently, it was actually a top-grade spiritual weapon.

When the cold wind blew, ice and frost covered the entire ground and pieces of winter plum blossoms drifted out of the folding fan. Then they started to head towards Mo Wen from all directions.

Those winter plum blossoms were very clear and every single one possessed very shocking powers. The powers were enough to take down even a Golden Elixir Realm ancient martial art practitioner within a moment.

\"Mo Wen, anyone who dares offend Young Master Wuji must have a death wish.\"

There was a look of happiness in Huo Shuangnian's eyes as he looked at Mo Wen with hatred. Earlier, he had lost his pride in being a respectable sect leader of Crimson Star Sect when Mo Wen had publically slapped him. With so many of the Crimson Star Sect disciples present, how would he be able to take the prestigious seat as Crimson Star Sect's leader again in future?

In the entire Crimson Star Sect, only Huo Shuangnian and his father, Huo Qize, knew Young Master Wuji's power. They also understood the young master's terrifying background. Normally, these people may not necessarily help Crimson Star Sect fight against others. However, Mo Wen was truly looking for death. Otherwise, he would not have offended them at a time like this.

Huo Shuangnian's current feeling could be compared to flying up to heaven from hell. His happiness was simply too much to be described. He wanted to see just how long this little b*stard Mo Wen could remain so arrogant.

\"So, I see that you even have a spiritual weapon?\" Mo Wen smiled meaningfully. This youth before him had the Cultivation of the later stage of the Golden Elixir Realm. Initially, he had been curious about how the main space could have such an amazing youth. Now, the truth was clear. This youth was not from the main space but hailed from the inner world.

\"You have an eye for treasure. Even if you die by my Snowy Plum Blossom Treasure Fan, I think you should have no other regrets.\" Xin Wuji laughed. This person must actually have quite a bit of general knowledge if he could recognize a spiritual weapon.

\"Hehe.\" Mo Wen laughed as he extended his hand. A bout of cold wind gathered and directly blew onto the plum blossoms that had congregated around him, dispersing them. His hand did not stop there. It continued forward and appeared before Xin Wuji within the blink of an eye.

Xin Wuji had yet to react. The Snowy Plum Blossom spiritual weapon disappeared from his hand instantly. It had been there just a moment ago but had disappeared in an instant.

Xin Wuji was stunned for a moment. Then, he looked at Mo Wen furiously as he saw the Plum Blossom Folding Fan that was white with gold threads in his hand. Mo Wen had an apathetic look on his face.

\"B*stard, you actually dare to steal my spiritual weapon!\" Xin Wuji, who had been calm all along, exploded immediately. A spiritual weapon was very precious and was comparable to the value of one's life. Yet, Mo Wen actually dared to take it away from him in broad daylight. It was impossible for him to remain calm. He was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

\"Enough with the irrelevant talk,\" Mo Wen said simply. Then, with a slapping sound, a similar situation repeated itself, only Xin Wuji was the target.

Piak, piak, piak!

Within a moment, Xin Wuji had been slapped tens of times. His face was so swollen that it looked like a pig's head.

\"You…\" Xin Wuji covered his face and looked at Mo Wen in disbelief. His face was contorted and because of the pain, he had some trouble speaking clearly.

Mo Wen had spouted a lot of nonsense and before Xin Wuji knew it, he had ended up in this state.

Huo Shuangnian was stunned, and so was Huo Qize. Even Wang Qinghan and Little Tang were stunned. Even when faced with people from the inner world, Mo Wen looked as though he was simply disciplining his son. He had easily handled them with a few slaps.

\"You… How can it be…\" Xin Wuji covered his face. There was shock in his eyes. He was an ancient martial art practitioner at the later stage of the Golden Elixir Realm. In the inner world, he was a talent amongst talents—a prodigy within the younger generation. Amongst his peers, there were not many people who could surpass him.

\"Why? You feeling indignant?\" Mo Wen let out a soft laugh and said calmly, \"Stop glaring at me. There's no point in bullying you either. Get those two old men out. It is actually surprising that there are two Martial Art Grandmasters hidden within such a small sect like Crimson Star Sect.\"

After guessing that Xin Wuji was not from the main space, but rather from the inner world, Mo Wen released the deified soul to search the entire Crimson Star Sect.

Indeed, he had discovered some very interesting things.

Within a mere Crimson Star Sect, there were actually two other Martial Art Grandmasters hidden. Under normal circumstances, that would have been impossible.

\"You…\"Xin Wuji looked at Mo Wen as though he had seen a ghost. Not just outsiders, even the old sect leader of Crimson Star Sect did not know about the Patriarch being hidden in Crimson Star Sect. How did this youth find out about everything in so much detail, considering that not many people knew about it?

When Huo Shuangnian and Huo Qize heard his words, they were also very confused. Crimson Star Sect was hiding other people and they did not know a thing about it? Subconsciously, the two of them looked towards Xin Wuji.

Two days ago, Xin Wuji had represented his sect to visit Crimson Star Sect, in preparation for the Martial Arts Circle Convention. Naturally, Crimson Star Sect welcomed him like they were welcoming some deity. However, it seemed like only Xin Wuji had come. Could it be that there were others who had come secretly without them knowing?

\"Since you are already here, go ahead and show yourselves. What's the point in hiding?\" Mo Wen looked towards a cliff. There was nothing there and it looked as though he was talking to the air.

\"Wuji, you're not his match, just retreat.\" A voice rang out from the mountain cliff. Soon after, a figure appeared in the plaza. It was an old man. Although he did not seem very old and did not look older than Huo Qize, the aura he was exuding was very strong.

\"Elder.\" When Xin Wuji saw the person, he immediately went down on his knees as a respectful greeting.

In the plaza, a few hundred pairs of eyes were fixed on that old man. Who exactly was this amazing man that was Xin Wuji's Elder, and where had he come from?

Huo Qize and Huo Shuangnian's eyes were particularly shining. They looked overwhelmed with emotions, as though they had just seen their savior. They had already guessed who this old man was.

\"Another Martial Arts Grandmaster.\" Wang Qinghan breathed out slowly. It was surprising that Martial Art Grandmaster would actually appear in Crimson Star Sect, and so early on at that.

As the young sect leader of Zhongyu Sect, he naturally knew that every single Martial Arts Circle Convention was not as simple as it appeared to be on the surface. Zhongyu Sect always had connections with some larger sects within the inner world. However, a Martial Arts Grandmaster making the trip down personally was simply unheard of. At least, it had never happened for Zhongyu Sect.

Since the Grandmaster had personally come down, did that mean that the Martial Arts Circle Convention this year would be different from the others?

\"Young man, how did you identify my position?\" the old man asked a little curiously. He was rather confident in his concealment abilities. From such a far distance, even some fellow Grandmasters would not be able to detect him, much less a youth.

Moreover, the thing that shocked him most was that the youth had also discovered the other person. That person had been in the palace from the start and there were at least two kilometers between them. How had he managed to discover the person?

If not for the fact that he had seen it for himself, he would not have believed that a youth would have such acute sense. It would be difficult for even a top Grandmaster. Now that this youth before his eyes could do it, it was all the more surprising!

\"Old man, what has a Grandmaster like you come all the way to Crimson Star Sect for? I don't think there are masters like you in Crimson Star Sect, right?\" Mo Wen said calmly.
