The eyes of both elders were full of astonishment. They practiced the most advanced Cold attribute martial art techniques, and, once it was activated, their Cold Qi would fill the sky. But right now, it was completely restrained by the quaint flaming longsword. The Cold Qi had barely appeared, and the next moment, it was completely undone.
Just what kind of weapon was this sword? The two of them were secretly astonished. One mere weapon had actually restrained them to such an extent.
The light of the longsword grew brighter. The next moment, a wave of Qi energy swept out and an incredibly poweful pressure burst forth.
"Not good. That is a profound level weapon and a rather high-ranking one at that!" One of the elders was so shocked that he turned pale as he desperately tried to retreat. The other elder hurriedly took out a jade fan from his clothes. The fan was made of white jade and was smooth and silky. Once it appeared, more powerful Cold Qi surged out.
The white jade fan was also a profound level weapon. The spiritual power waves from it were far fiercer than those emitted by ordinary spiritual weapons.
The white-haired elder frantically waved the fan. The next moment, a beam of Cold Qi shot up to the sky. It managed to disperse the surrounding heat but only affected the surrounding three meters. As he watched, this area affected by the Cold Qi was constantly shrinking.
The other white-haired elder appeared behind the elder holding the jade fan with tacit understanding. He held a few spiritual stones in one hand while his other hand pressed against the back of the elder wielding the fan. He used the transmitting method to channel the spiritual energy extracted from the spiritual stones over to his colleague.
For an ancient martial art practitioner to use an immortal cultivator's magical treasure, they had to first convert spiritual stones into spiritual power. Only then could they use it.
However, the two elders had not expected that the flaming longsword did not need to charge up power as they did. It came cleaving downwards, and a beam of astonishing Sword Qi whistled past.
The two elders stared wide-eyed with their mouths open. They were terrified. They were facing a person who could actually use a profound level weapon without needing to charge up power. What was happening?
The two of them had planned to rely on the white jade fan to withstand the flaming ancient sword attack. But right now, they did not have enough time at all. They had only converted a fifth of the spiritual power.
Rumble!
The beam of Sword Qi disappeared as quickly as it had appeared. The entire mountain peak suddenly shook and large numbers of boulders rolled off the top of the mountain, rumbling down as though there was a landslide.
A deep ditch appeared between the two elders. It was two meters wide and was so deep that they could not see the bottom. They could faintly make out the red hot magma below them. Beams of formless Sword Qi danced around in the chasm. Right now, if an ordinary person appeared nearby, they would probably be immediately turned to dust by the formless Sword Qi.
The two elders glanced at each other and then looked at the chasm made by the sword at their feet. It was like a trench, almost cleaving the mountain peak in two.
If such a frightening attack was to come at them, even if they did not die, they would most likely be severely injured.
Both of them could tell that the Sword Qi was not aimed at them. Otherwise, it would have been absolutely impossible for them to still be standing here unscathed. The dark shadow seemed to have no intention of killing them and was merely there to scare them.
"Could it be that you are a legendary immortal cultivator?"
One of the elders looked at the dark shadow in astonishment. Only immortal cultivators could use magical treasures without needing to spend time gathering spiritual power. The sword slash just now had been too quick. It was impossible for him to have had the time to gather energy at all.
"I only wish to tell you that I have the ability to kill you both. You had better not provoke me," the dark shadow stated nonchalantly.
"Provoke you? You came to the Baili Sect to threaten us! How are we are the ones who caused this provocation?" one of the elders shouted angrily. How could the person before him be so tyrannical?
"I am just giving you a reminder." The dark shadow's tone was indifferent, remaining lofty and otherworldly throughout.
The two elders were furious, but they did not show it, forcibly controlling their tempers. They saw the scene before this play out in front of them. This mysterious person was indeed very frightening. Also, it was very likely that he was an immortal cultivator. Neither of them wished to provoke such a person.
"You do not need to threaten us at all. Yang Gongcheng's death is unrelated to us. Now that he is no longer sect leader, we can select another person to take the position. As long as you do not ruin our grand plans, we have no reason to offend you."
After the two of them swallowed their anger, they finally chose to compromise. To make an enemy of this person because of Yang Gongcheng was not wise. Also, they were worried that even the two of them combined would not be a match for this mysterious stranger.
"I hope so." The dark shadow left them with these words and then disappeared from the mountain peak with a flash of his silhouette. He came and went without a trace; his movement techniques were incredible. It surprised the two Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm elders once again. Just now, neither of them had managed to comprehend his movement techniques. It seemed to have surpassed their understanding.
"Maybe we truly encountered an immortal cultivator."
The two elders glanced at each other and the same thought surfaced in their minds.
"Old Man Lu, are we just going to let this go?" one of the elders asked disgruntledly.
"We should let this matter slide. What else can we do about it? That person is obviously not someone we should offend. The Martial Arts Circle Convention is upon us; the Convention is our main priority. Refrain from any further complications. Compared to the Martial Arts Circle Convention, a dead Yang Gongcheng is not worth mentioning at all." Old Man Lu shook his head.
"I am not concerned about Yang Gongcheng. If he is dead, so be it. However, being threatened out of the blue by that mysterious person leaves a bad taste in my mouth," the other elder softly snorted.
"Old Man Shao, I know. But even the two of us combined are no match for that person. Not only is he an immortal cultivator, but you must have also seen through that sword. I suspect it is at least a top-grade profound level weapon. It could also very likely be a superb-grade profound level weapon. Such an absolute treasure is more than enough to kill us both. For him to not attack us, he might have left us some way out," Old Man Lu said helplessly. When others were clearly more powerful than yourself, aside from lowering your head, what else could you do?
"So be it. Consider this incident our misfortune. What kind of incident was this? Let's go, the Martial Arts Circle Convention is more important."
Although Old Man Shao felt dissatisfied, he did not dare to fight that mysterious person to the death. He could only fly off in the direction of the Baili Sect with a leap.
After the two of them left, a shadow appeared without a sound on the mountain peak. It was the dark shadow that had left and had now returned again.
"You are both sensible. I don't have to waste any extra effort."
The dark shadow was the Black Gold Puppet controlled by Mo Wen. The Black Gold Puppet's combat ability was higher than that of ordinary Martial Arts Grandmasters. It also had spiritual power that only immortal cultivators were equipped with. Together with Mo Wen's many treasures, killing the two Martial Arts Grandmaster First Realm elders would not be a difficult task.
However, the Black Gold Puppet's energy source stemmed from five medium grade spiritual stones. If he killed the two elders, the energy of the spiritual stones would most likely also have been exhausted. This was also the reason why Mo Wen had not killed the two of them. Medium-grade spiritual stones were very rare, and it was hard to come across them often. Every time he used one, it would be hard for him to replace it.
Of course, if the two elders had been scheming just now, secretly planning some despicable act, Mo Wen would have killed them without any hesitation.
"The two of them had Cold Qi aura on them which seemed rather familiar. If my guess is correct, they are ancient martial art practitioners from the Cold Light Pavilion."
Just now, Mo Wen had sensed that the cold aura on the two elders was somewhat similar to that of Lan Zhongzhi of the Cold Light Pavilion. They most likely were practicing the same martial art technique from the same source. The Cold Light Pavilion was very likely supporting the Baili Sect.
Mo Wen was still a Cold Light Pavilion's honorary Sect Grand Elder. He even had the Cold Light Pavilion's highest guest insignia. However, just now, he did not bring it up because there was no need to do so.
After traveling for half a day, Mo Wen once again came to the flower valley hidden away from the world. The elder Ling Feng knew that it was possible for him to recover his cultivation, and he was nervous every day. He could not sleep at night. From time to time, he would stand at the entrance of the valley and wait with anticipation, hoping that Mo Wen would come as promised.
Ordinary people could not understand such a feeling. However, after waiting for so long, Mo Wen finally came along as Ling Feng wished.
Once he knew that Mo Wen wanted to treat him in his valley, he naturally welcomed Mo Wen with open arms.
There were still ten days to the Martial Arts Circle Convention. For the next ten days, Mo Wen not only had to recover from his own injuries, but he also had to try to recover Ling Feng's cultivation.
In reality, Mo Wen was not absolutely confident about whether he could recover Ling Feng's cultivation. At best, there was only a sixty percent chance of success. It wasn't that Ling Feng's cultivation could not be recovered. For immortal cultivators, recovering an ancient martial art practitioner's cultivation was not a difficult thing to do. However, Mo Wen's current skill was still not up to par.
Fortunately, the resources Mo Wen had were still abundant enough. Prior to this, in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, he had hit the jackpot. He had many precious materials on him, so he did not need to spend time searching for them. He would not be able to finish using the spiritual medicines and spiritual stones he had in a short amount of time, let alone the other items.
Time passed by in a flash. In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed. The flower valley hidden away from the world was already empty, leaving behind the beautiful Shangri-la.was
Rumor had it that Dragon City was not in the main space but instead was in its own independent space. The space was very mysterious. Since ancient times, it had always been under the control of the Huatian Palace.
Usually, no one would be able to find the entrance of Dragon City was. No matter how one searched, they would not find it.
But once it came to the time of the Martial Arts Circle Convention, entrances to Dragon City would appear all over the world. Rumor had it that in Hua Xia Country alone, there were no fewer than a hundred entrances to Dragon City. It seemed as though there were entrances to Dragon City overseas as well.
In the Taihang Mountains, there was one such entrance to Dragon City. It was situated in the Huatian Palace branch.
Right now, teams of serious-looking Huatian Palace Executors stood in the square of the Taihang Mountains Huatian Palace branch. On average, the Executors were above two stars Executors. The higher ranked ones were five stars Executors.
These people were on guard at various corners of the square. If anyone wanted to pass them, they had to go through multiple inspections.
At the center of the square was a huge rock formation. From time to time, some people would walk into the rock formation, and then with a burst of light, they would vanish without a trace.
A youth and an elder came together. Both of them were dressed very plainly. They were Mo Wen and Ling Feng.
This place was one of the entrances heading to Dragon City. Those who had Dragon City Talismans could use the space array to be teleported to Dragon City.
From a distance, Mo Wen could feel the powerful spatial waves from the rock formation.
"Brother Mo, you've finally arrived. As expected, you are heading to Dragon City from here." Mo Wen had yet to step into the square when he heard a hearty laugh.
