Chapter 753: With Members Of The Huatian Palace
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Mo Wen looked at Wang Qinghan in astonishment. These people were actually specifically coming after her. He knew some things about the Ghost Lair. They would not be interested in ordinary people at all. To be able to draw so many members of the Ghost Lair over, this Wang Qinghan most likely had an extraordinary identity.
The members of the Ghost Lair were clearly preparing to capture Wang Qinghan alive. They did not directly attack, instead slowly surrounding her and blocking off any escape routes. They seemed afraid that Wang Qinghan would manage to escape.
“Little Tang, retreat with him first. I’ll hold off the rear,” Wang Qinghan said with a serious expression.
Among the mysterious men in black before them, the lowest had cultivation of the Embryonic Breathing Realm. There was even a strong practitioner with pinnacle of the Embryonic Breathing Realm cultivation.
Such a group of frightening ancient martial art practitioners had actually come to capture her. She herself felt it was somewhat unbelievable. Which faction could send so many Embryonic Breathing Realm strong practitioners at once? And it was only to capture her.
Wang Qinghan recognized the severity of the situation. Although she had some powerful enemies, those opponents would not go to such lengths to catch her. According to her knowledge, in the entire main space, the number of sects that could bring out so many Embryonic Breathing Realm ancient martial art practitioners could be counted on one hand.
“Young mistress... I’ll stay behind and hold the rear. You go first.” Little Tang’s expression changed drastically. She would rather stay behind and hold the rear than see the young mistress be in danger.
Also, at this moment, the young mistress had actually asked her to bring along that Eighth Grader Syndrome youth. She was one hundred percent reluctant to do so.
“Little Tang, you are no match for them. Quickly, go!” Wang Qinghan said as she gazed at her with a serious expression. She stared closely at the men in black surrounding them. Little Tang only had Sea of Qi Realm cultivation. Against this group of top Embryonic Breathing Realm strong practitioners, she would be instantly killed. She did not have the ability to hold the rear at all. Rather than die together here, Wang Qinghan would instead give her a chance to escape. Maybe Little Tang had a chance of survival then.
With more than ten Embryonic Breathing Realm ancient martial art practitioners, she realized that she could not possibly escape from this situation.
“None of you are allowed to leave,” the leader of the men in black said with a sinister grin. He slowly and casually walked towards Wang Qinghan.
Wang Qinghan coldly snorted. She pressed downwards with her palms, and her entire being flew up into the air. A powerful aura surged out from her body. She actually had intermediate stage Embryonic Breathing Realm cultivation. Wang Qinghan was only just over twenty. In the main space, she would be seen as a genius. However, the men in black did not seem surprised. They clearly already knew about Wang Qinghan’s condition.
More than ten of the men in black flew into the air at the same time. Each of them emanated a frightening aura. Using their pressure, they forced Wang Qinghan back down onto the ground.
“There is no escape.”
The men in black waved their hands and black iron chains flew out simultaneously. They crossed over each other and formed an iron chain net which enveloped Wang Qinghan.
“Why aren’t you escaping?” Little Tang wiped away her tears and stared fiercely at Mo Wen. She now realized that it was useless for her to stay behind. It would be better for her to escape immediately and report the matter to the sect. Maybe they could still save the young mistress.
Little Tang had been about to flee but had then remembered that the young mistress had just told her to bring the youth along. She did not dare defy the command of the young mistress.
“Scared silly, huh?” Little Tang’s figure flashed slightly, and she appeared beside Mo Wen. When she saw that Mo Wen was looking expressionlessly at the men in black surrounding the young mistress, she thought that he had been terrified by the sudden situation and had yet to wrap his head around what was happening. That was expected. When an ordinary person encountered such a situation, they would certainly be scared.
Little Tang cast all caution to the wind. She reached out her hand and went to grab Mo Wen’s collar, preparing to run.
However, she discovered she had not managed to take hold of the youth. How was this possible?
An incredulous look flashed in Little Tang’s eyes. Could the stress of the situation have affected her eyesight? Otherwise, how could she possibly not have grabbed hold of him? She steadied herself and went to grab Mo Wen’s collar again.
But the next moment, she was stunned. She still had not caught it!
Mo Wen was standing right in front of her and had not shifted position at all, but she had missed grabbing on to him twice in a row. He seemed to be an illusion. Her hand had directly passed through his body, unable to grab hold of anything.
Little Tang immediately grew anxious. Against the encirclement of so many strong practitioners, the young mistress would not be able to withstand them for very long at all. If they did not leave now, they would not get a chance to escape. If the men in black did not want to capture the young mistress alive, she most likely would not have withstood them for more than a few breaths.
“What the heck!”
Little Tang did not believe in ghosts, grabbing at Mo Wen once more. However, this time was exactly like the previous times. She still could not grab hold of Mo Wen.
“Hey, are you a human or a ghost?”
At this moment, Little Tang also felt that something was off. She felt a chill over her entire body uncontrollably. This fellow is not a spirit, right? Could it be that she encountered a ghost in broad daylight?
“Calm down. Keep watching.” Mo Wen’s lips curled into a smile as he gave Little Tang a look asking her to calm down and relax.
Little Tang’s face turned pale. She still wanted to say something. “You...”
But her words had yet to be uttered when a sudden change occurred.
In the forest on both sides, more than ten silhouettes suddenly flew out like bolts of lightning. They instantly flew to the pile of rubble, surrounding the group of men in black.
What was surprising was that all of the people were women. Each of them wore a platinum ring engraved with a Vermillion Bird on their fingers.
“As expected, your group of Ghost Lair members is causing trouble again.”
The leader of the newcomers was an old woman. She appeared to be past her seventies, but she was still full of energy. Her body emanated beams of frightening aura. A huge Qi field covered the entire stone forest. She was actually a beginning stage Golden Elixir Realm ancient martial art practitioner.
The rest of the group were all Embryonic Breathing Realm ancient martial art practitioners. Among them, there were four to five pinnacle of the Embryonic Breathing Realm ancient martial art practitioners. In terms of combat ability, they far exceeded that of the group of men in black from the Ghost Lair.
“A Huatian Palace Six star Executor.” The expression of the leader of the men in black changed drastically, turning sullen in an instant. They had actually encountered members from the Huatian Palace. This clearly was not a coincidence.
The men in black around him also had ugly expressions as they looked cautiously at this group of devils incarnate that had come out of nowhere.
“So it is a senior of the Huatian Palace.”
Wang Qinghan dropped back down to the ground, her hair disheveled. Her condition was somewhat pathetic. She looked at the group of Huatian Palace Executors with eyes filled with surprise. Since the Huatian Palace had appeared, they would certainly interfere with this matter.
She had not expected that this group of men in black would actually draw the attention of the Huatian Palace. The Huatian Palace normally did not interfere with grudges and conflicts of the Jianghu.
As expected, the background of these people was complex. If the Huatian Palace had come ten breaths slower, she most likely would have been captured by these people.
“The members of the Huatian Palace!”
Little Tang looked at the Huatian Palace Executors with a look of surprise as she breathed a sigh of relief. With the strong practitioners from the Huatian Palace present here, who could still touch the young mistress? Even she knew that the Huatian Palace was a pinnacle existence, a ruler of the current ancient martial arts world.
“Don’t celebrate too soon. The members of the Ghost Lair are no pushovers. No one will know who is at a disadvantage until the end.”
Mo Wen smiled. He had not expected that he would encounter acquaintances. After all, the Huatian Palace members were all from the Vermillion Bird Palace Hall. Encountering one or two acquaintances was very normal.
“What do you know? The Huatian Palace is...”
Little Tang rolled her eyes at Mo Wen. This brat was pretending to know a lot. However, halfway through her sentence, she suddenly stopped and furiously retreated. She looked at Mo Wen with a look of caution and coldly said, “Who are you?”
If it was before, she would have thought that Mo Wen appeared calm and natural but was, in reality, terrified. But right now, he was still so composed. That was somewhat unusual.
How could an ordinary person possibly be so calm after encountering such a situation?
“Don’t be nervous. I don’t have any evil intentions.” Mo Wen smiled. This Little Tang was not stupid.
“Whether or not you have any evil intentions is not for you to say. After encountering you, such an incident has happened. Did you think that I would believe you?” Little Tang coldly laughed. She would not believe Mo Wen’s words at this moment. Her silhouette flashed and she directly attacked. As long as she could grab hold of this youth, she naturally could take her time investigating whether or not he had evil intentions.
However, she had just moved, when a formless pressure descended from the sky above, instantly enveloping her.
The terrifying pressure caused her entire body to stiffen. She could not move at all. It was as though her entire body’s flesh and blood were frozen. It seemed like a huge formless hand had furiously grabbed hold of her.
Little Tang struggled to no avail. She could not even speak. Her eyeballs could not move at all. She could only silently be anxious, but she was helpless to do anything.
What frightened her was that it seemed that only she could feel the force pressing down on her. Be it her young mistress, the group of men in black or even the Huatian Palace members, not one of them actually noticed anything unusual about her. It was terrifying.
What realm did one have to reach to be able to control their pressure so precisely, such that even a Golden Elixir Realm senior could not notice it?
“I am a disciple from the Zhongyu Sect, Wang Qinghan. I have no qualms with these people, and yet they antagonize me with no reason. Senior of the Huatian Palace, please help me.”
Wang Qinghan curtsied and then flew out from the encirclement of the men in black. With the strong practitioners from the Huatian Palace here, the men in black naturally did not dare to make any more moves.
“Don’t worry, since we are here, we will not let you fall into the hands of the members of the Ghost Lair. These past few days, the Ghost Lair have captured quite a few young women like you. You have already become a key protection target for the Huatian Palace,” the Huatian Palace Six star Executor leader said.
In reality, the reason they had appeared this time was no accident. Based on the movements of the Ghost Lair around this period of time, they had prepared long ago and had always been protecting Wang Qinghan in secret. As expected, the members of the Ghost Lair already had their eyes set on Wang Qinghan.
Upon hearing this, Wang Qinghan’s expression changed slightly. As expected, these people had a goal for capturing her, and she was not the only one they wanted to capture. But why were these people out to capture her? Could it be... When she thought of her special condition, Wang Qinghan’s expression turned pale.
“So that’s why the previous missions had failed. It was all the doing of your Huatian Palace?” The leader of the men in black coldly looked at the members of the Huatian Palace. He actually was not at all panicked. Instead, he coldly smiled and said, “However, the one who laughs at the very end is the true winner. Did you think that, after ruining our plans over and over, we would not come prepared?”
