Chapter 807: Delegation
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The mortality rate of the Moon Maidens Selection was so high. How could Yun Xiaoman possibly survive now that she had ended up in the hands of the Sorcerer Clan?
Mo Wen secretly felt worried. He really liked Yun Xiaoman. She was smart and obedient and he felt like she was his little sister. Mo Wen had also recalled something important. Back at the university, a person who claimed to be from the Witchcraft Cult had come looking for him and had tried to assassinate him.
Up until now, Mo Wen had found this baffling. He had not even heard of the Witchcraft Cult. Why were they looking for him? From the looks of things now, it was most likely related to Yun Xiaoman.
However, the Witchcraft Cult had only appeared once. They had completely disappeared without a trace, and Mo Wen didn’t understand this either.
“Even if you try to provoke me into taking action, I cannot do anything about this matter,” Mo Qingtian said, shrugging his shoulders.
“Your Spirit Realm even dares to fight against the Devil Kingdom and the Underworld. Among all the realms, you have won control over the Source World consecutively many times. Could it be that you fear the mere Magical Realm?” Mo Wen laughed coldly. “Also, isn’t your Huatian Palace known as the Source World’s protector? The Ancient Sorcery Mystery Dimension and its Magical Realm background are shadowing the Source World and seem able to invade it at any time. Shouldn’t your Huatian Palace check it out?”
“Since when has the Spirit Realm feared any other realm? Compared with the Devil Kingdom, Demon Realm and Underworld, the Magical Realm is but a small world. If your friend had ended up in the hands of Demonic Sky or maybe the Ghost Lair, I could come forward and rescue her. However, this matter involves the Ancient Sorcery Mystery Dimension and that makes it difficult for me. It is not because the Spirit Realm fears the Magical Realm. It is just that the Magical Realm has a very special status. If there is no need to do so, the Spirit Realm will not engage in conflict with the Magical Realm at all.”
“Why?” Mo Wen asked quizzically. The Spirit Realm could defeat the Devil Kingdom and even the Underworld, yet they were so apprehensive when it came to the Magical Realm. They even let the Magical Realm have a small space in the Source World. Why was that?
“It is because the Magical Realm has never participated in the war between realms and has never intervened in the war for the Source World. It has signed a mutual non-aggression agreement with all the realms. In reality, for eons, the Magical Realm has always been very mysterious. They very rarely have dealings with the outside, even to the extent of remaining as they are, and they have no desire to move forward. It isn’t that the Huatian Palace cannot intervene with the matters of the Sorcerer Clan; it is not easy for them to intervene. This involves the diplomatic affairs of the two realms. Unless some important figure has been kidnapped by the Ancient Sorcery Mystery Dimension, Huatian Palace will basically not intervene.”
Mo Qingtian’s meaning was very clear; right now, Mo Wen was still not qualified enough for the Huatian Palace to make an exception for him.
“Where is Yun Xiaoman?” Mo Wen said expressionlessly.
“Naturally, she is in the Ancient Sorcery Mystery Dimension. You don’t have to think about it. You won’t be able to enter this Inner world.”
“Mo Qingtian, can you help me? Use your name and please speak for me,” Mo Wen said plainly. He rarely asked for the help of others. Even more so, he did not want to owe anyone a debt of gratitude. But for Yun Xiaoman, he had no other way.
“If I could help you, I would have already rescued the maiden. I would not have needed to explain so much to you. Unfortunately, I cannot help you in rescuing someone from the Sorcerer Clan, and a Moon Maiden candidate at that.” Mo Qingtian shook his head. The Sorcerer Clan was different from ordinary factions, and its internal situation was also very special. This caused him to be unable to intervene in this matter.
“Even with your ability, you cannot save her?” Mo Wen’s expression changed slightly. He had seen Mo Qingtian’s ability before. He had at least Supreme Profundity Realm cultivation. Even with such high cultivation, Mo Qingtian actually could not rescue a person from the Ancient Sorcery Mystery Dimension. Could it be that the Ancient Sorcery Mystery Dimension was a dragon’s lair?
“Compared to the Magical Realm, the Ancient Sorcery Mystery Dimension is just a lowly space. No one in there can actually go against me. It is just a little stronger than ordinary Inner worlds. However, the Ancient Sorcery Mystery Dimension is still in the Source World, so the Magical Realm naturally places high importance on it. Not only does the mystery dimension have a direct passageway to the Magical Realm, it is also protected by the power of the Sorcerer God.”
“Once an immortal cultivator of my cultivation enters the Ancient Sorcery Mystery Dimension, it will immediately alert the Magical Realm. A power from across spaces will descend, which will be enough to keep my hands tied. It would be impossible to try and rescue someone while dealing with it. Instead, if someone with low cultivation were to infiltrate the Ancient Sorcery Mystery Dimension, they would not be discovered.”
No matter how powerful Mo Qingtian was, he wasn’t more powerful than the Sorcerer God and the power of a Realm. If he entered the Ancient Sorcery Mystery Dimension without any authorization, the Sorcerer Clan could see it as an invasion. Even if they killed him, the Spirit Realm had no reason to stand out for him.
It was because of the Ancient Sorcery Mystery Dimension’s special status that Mo Qingtian was so serious.
“Then, what if you sent me into the Ancient Sorcery Mystery Dimension?” Mo Wen said plainly. Since Mo Qingtian could not go, Mo Wen would personally make a trip.
“You’re rather brave. Even after I have told you all that, you still dare to venture into the Ancient Sorcery Mystery Dimension. It seems like Yun Xiaoman is placed quite high in your heart. I am indeed capable of sending you to the Ancient Sorcery Mystery Dimension. However, with your current ability, it is most likely very difficult for you to save the girl. The Ancient Sorcery Mystery Dimension is not a common Inner world. Martial Arts Grandmasters can be seen everywhere in this mystery dimension. There are even a few ancient martial art practitioners who have become immortal and Primordial Soul Realm immortal cultivators. Have you considered all of that?”
“I’ll never know if I never try. Besides, even if I can’t save her, could it be that I can’t even escape?” Mo Wen made the request because he was already mentally prepared. Since he had decided on this matter, he would not change his mind easily.
“Actually, my intention is hoping that you will give up on this. Girls who are chosen for the Moon Maidens Selection are very special. The Sorcerer Clan definitely does not pick them randomly. These girls are hard to find. Once they have been confirmed as the candidates of the Moon Maidens Selection, they will be listed as the most protected targets. That’s why I said it is going to be hard for you to save her.”
“Besides, if Yun Xiaoman could last until the end of the Moon Maidens Selection and not die, she would have achieved something unimaginable even if she is not chosen to be a Moon Maiden. As long as she can survive, the selection might not necessarily be a bad thing for her.”
Mo Qingtian did not want Mo Wen to risk himself for this. Moreover, the possibility of him succeeding in his mission was too low.
“You have said it yourself. The survival rate is only one in ten thousand. On what basis do you think she will survive? I have made up my mind and I don’t like to give up easily. Besides, I will only know whether I can save her after I have tried,” Mo Wen said.
“You are rather confident in yourself. Whatever. Most likely you are not qualified to even encounter those Primordial Soul Realm immortal cultivators in the Ancient Sorcery Mystery Dimension. I have a way for you to enter the Ancient Sorcery Mystery Dimension, and it is a legal way too. So, it will be easier for you to move around. As for whether you can save Yun Xiaoman, it depends on your ability.”
After thinking for a moment, Mo Qingtian’s mouth curled to form a smile. He admired Mo Wen’s personality.
“What method?”
Openly entering the Ancient Sorcery Mystery Dimension? Didn’t Mo Qingtian say that even he could not enter that Inner world easily?
“For your information, the Moon Maidens Selection is a huge millennial event for the Sorcerer Clan. During the event, they will invite guests from all realms to witness the ceremony. Usually, the Sorcerer Clan dislikes having contact with outsiders; however, the Moon Maidens Selection is an exception. A while ago, the Sorcerer Clan from the Ancient Sorcery Mystery Dimension sent an invitation card to the Huatian Palace, inviting us to join the Moon Maidens Selection ceremony.”
“Do you mean that I can represent the Huatian Palace to join the ceremony?” A glint of light flashed in Mo Wen’s eyes. He immediately understood what Mo Qingtian meant.
“Exactly. Even the Huatian Palace will not exclude ourselves from this event. However, currently, we have not confirmed our delegates. I can use some means to put you in the team. What do you think?” Mo Qingtian asked.
“Will having me as a delegate of the Huatian Palace cause any trouble for the Huatian Palace?” Mo Wen asked hesitantly.
If they could head over officially to the Ancient Sorcery Mystery Dimension, who would want to do so sneakily? Moreover, as a delegate of the Huatian Palace, he would be a guest, so naturally it would be much easier for him to move around. However, his intention in going there was not pure. If he stirred up trouble, he would also involve the Huatian Palace.
Mo Wen was not worried about anything happening to the Huatian Palace. Instead, he was worried that if he caused trouble, he would offend both sides.
“Since you are representing the Huatian Palace, if you head over and cause trouble, it will naturally affect the Huatian Palace. However, the Huatian Palace is the Huatian Palace. Even if it does have an effect, what could happen? You don’t need to worry about this side of the Huatian Palace finding you later to settle the score. Since you are a member of the Martial Arts Grandmaster Palace Hall, and my sister and I have your back, you will naturally be fine.”
Mo Qingtian smiled plainly. He could see what Mo Wen was thinking about.
Just because it was not convenient for the Huatian Palace to intervene in matters of the Sorcerer Clan, it did not mean that the Huatian Palace had any misgivings about them doing so either. Could it be that the Sorcerer Clan would dare to find fault with the Huatian Palace just because of Mo Wen? When the time came, with just one word from the Huatian Palace saying that the actions of this person Mo Wen were unrelated to the Huatian Palace, they could cut themselves off cleanly.
“Alright, when do we leave?” Mo Wen immediately nodded his head. Since he did not need to worry about the Huatian Palace, he did not have any more misgivings.
“It is still early. The ritual is still half a year away.” Mo Qingtian shook his head.
“In half a year! You must be kidding me!” Mo Wen’s eyes shot wide open. If they had to wait for half a year, who knew whether Yun Xiaoman would still be alive then?
“What’s the use of you being anxious now? Yun Xiaoman has been held captive by the Sorcerer Clan for two months. If something was going to happen to her, it would have happened long ago. Moreover, she is a candidate for the Moon Maidens Selection. She will certainly be under the protection of the Sorcerer Clan. In reality, the Moon Maidens Selection is divided up into many stages. The earlier stages are not dangerous. The true torturing trial is after half a year when the Sorcerer Clan conducts the first Moon Maiden ritual.”
“You’d better consider this carefully. Whether you go now or in half a year, there is not much difference. Moreover, you can use this half a year to work hard to increase your cultivation. When the time comes, your chances of success will be even higher.”
Mo Qingtian was very certain that if he sent Mo Wen there now, Mo Wen’s success rate would almost be zero. Most likely, Mo Wen would be captured by the Sorcerer Clan before he could even find Yun Xiaoman.
“Alright, I will wait another half a year before going.” Mo Wen thought for a while and then nodded his head. Mo Qingtian was right. If he entered the Ancient Sorcery Mystery Dimension alone, the chances of success were too slim.
“When investigating Yun Xiaoman’s whereabouts, we also discovered another very interesting matter.”
The corners of Mo Qingtian’s mouth curled into a smile. Somewhat playfully, he said, “The reason why Yun Xiaoman was targeted by the members of the Sorcerer Clan is directly because of her grandfather. If taken one step further, it is also largely because of you as well.”
“Because of me?”
Upon hearing this, Mo Wen was stunned. Previously, he had not known of a faction such as the Sorcerer Clan. How was this matter related to him?
