"However, as the Sect Grand Elder of the Dafang Sect, you went ahead to deal with that youth, Mo Wen. Moreover, it was during the Preliminary for the Sect Leader. It was inevitable that people would gossip about you. In the future, if word of this got out, it would simply be a joke. It would definitely affect the reputation of the Dafang Sect."
Jiang Quangui said hesitantly. Previously, sending the Great Elder, Jiang Youxi, in front of everyone's eyes was already an exception. Moreover, it was based on the premise that Mo Wen had killed two of the Jiang Clan's elders.
If he were to send the Grand Elder to intercept him now, it would be a little too unsightly.
In the eyes of outsiders, wouldn't that be deliberate bullying? Fraud in the Sect Leader Trial was a serious loss of fairness and justice.
"That's fine. There's a place that doesn't have a camera, so we won't be able to capture anything."
A cold glint flashed across Jiang Quanfu's eyes. Under the watchful eyes of so many people, it was naturally inappropriate for him to act rashly. However, if no one could see him, then it was naturally a different matter.
It was impossible for there to be any cameras in that place. It was perfect.
"Are you prepared to attack Mo Wen at that place?" Jiang Quangui frowned and asked.
"That's right. That place is just right. We can't do anything in the cave."
For strong practitioners in the Embryonic Breathing realm, an environment like the cave was actually a restriction. Moreover, they could not destroy the cave, so they would definitely have some misgivings when battling.
"That place is very strange. Even if you go there, I'm afraid you will still be in danger."
Jiang Quangui frowned. There were many uncertainties in that place, and it was very likely that something unexpected would happen.
"Don't worry, I won't go too deep. I'm confident that I'll be fine within a thousand meters. Those trial participants only have a range of 500 meters. "
Jiang Quanfu was not worried. Although that place was dangerous, the periphery would not affect him much. Otherwise, they wouldn't have dared to hold the Sect Leader Selection Trial at that place.
"Since that's the case, we'll do as you say."
Jiang Quangui muttered to himself for a while, then nodded his head. The danger that Mo Wen posed to them had already risen to a level where they had no choice but to eliminate him. Even if Jiang Quanfu had to take a little risk, if he could eliminate this terrifying brat, it would be worth it.
…
Inside the cave, Mo Wen did not encounter any more obstacles. His journey was unimpeded. In a short while, he appeared in the central area.
The central area was a very wide cave. A ray of sunlight shone down from above, making the entire space not as dark as the passageway.
Mo Wen was undoubtedly the first person to appear in the center cave. Right now, there was no one in the center cave. The people from the other four caves had not arrived yet.
He glanced around, then silently found a place to sit down cross-legged and quietly waited.
After passing the first stage, the second stage would open the passage to that mysterious place. At that time, everyone who participated in the trial would enter that mysterious space at the same time.
According to Wang Yinru, that mysterious place was somewhat similar to the space where the Huatian Palace was located. It did not seem to be the space where the main space was located, but more like a space that had been split off.
The so-called Main Space was the space where the Earth's Main Material Plane existed. According to the space theory of the Cultivation World, the Main Space was the foundation of all subsidiary spaces. Because of the existence of the Main Space, there were subsidiary spaces.
Mo Wen did not have much understanding of these mysterious space issues. He only knew some very superficial things. However, he also knew that since that mysterious place did not belong to the main space, it was definitely not simple.
A space that had been split off definitely had an unknown secret.
After about 15 minutes, the sound of something breaking through the air suddenly sounded in the center cave. Silhouettes began to appear one after another in the huge cave. Those people were not very old. At most, they were in their thirties, not even forty. However, they all had very strong cultivation. The Inner Qi waves on their bodies were enough to fill the entire space.
There were more than ten of them. Some were injured and had bloodstains on their bodies. Some were calm and composed.
However, when they appeared, everyone looked at Mo Wen almost immediately. It was as though Mo Wen was an anomaly.
"Humph, you are the brat that the Wang Clan sent?"
A youth with a gloomy expression walked out and looked coldly at Mo Wen. His tone was rather unfriendly.
"Who are you?"
Mo Wen asked calmly. However, he did not even raise his head.
"My name is Jiang Mingxiao. Remember this. It is the name of the person who will kill you later."
The youth called Jiang Mingxiao snorted coldly. A murderous look flashed in his eyes as he looked at Mo Wen. He was very curious as to how Mo Wen could reach this place. According to the elders of the clan, it was absolutely impossible for this brat to appear in this place alive.
Could it be that an accident had occurred? Or perhaps the elders of the clan had changed their minds at the last minute?
Jiang Mingxiao's eyes were full of doubt and confusion. Under normal circumstances, when the people of the Wang Clan met the Jiang Clan, there was usually only one outcome: death.
"I will remember it."
Mo Wen curled his lips into a smile and nodded his head seriously. It was unknown what exactly he meant by "I will remember it."
Jiang Mingxiao snorted coldly. Then, he walked to the side and sat down alone. When the few preliminary members of the Jiang Clan saw this, they all sat around Jiang Mingxiao. It seemed that among the people of the Jiang Clan, he was their leader.
As for the members of the other three clans, they did not have any conflict with Mo Wen. They did not care about him. It was as though they could not see the conflict between Mo Wen and the people of the Jiang Clan. They just minded their own business and found a place to sit down and rest.
Jiang Mingxiao did not know that while he was undergoing preliminary in the first cave, the situation in the fifth cave had occurred. If he had known that three experts in the Qi Nucleation realm had already died at Mo Wen's hands, and that one of them was the Great Elder, Jiang Youxi, he would definitely not have dared to say such things to Mo Wen.
Mo Wen only glanced at that group of people, then closed his eyes again.
From the appearance of those people, he could tell that the people of the Zhou Clan, Yuan Clan, and Chen Clan were all in a sorry state. It seemed as though the journey had not been peaceful. They had encountered many difficulties, and many of them were injured, their bodies stained with blood. The Zhou Clan, in particular, seemed to have eliminated one person. Originally, there were four people, but now there were only three left.
As for the five people of the Jiang Clan, they were all calm and composed. Their clothes were bright, and they did not look like they had just gone through a preliminary.
As the second stage had not begun, everyone was at peace. They were not in a hurry to make a move. Even the people of the Jiang Clan had left Mo Wen to the side.
After about half an hour, there were suddenly two more people in the center cave. They had appeared in the cave without a sound.
Both of them were dressed in white. Their hair was white, and they were a little old. Moreover, from the aura emanating from their bodies, one could tell that they had Cultivation at the pinnacle of the Qi Nucleation realm. They were not any weaker than the Great Elder, Jiang Youxi.
Mo Wen looked at the two old men expressionlessly. Could it be that two strong practitioners at the pinnacle of the Qi Nucleation realm had appeared just to deal with him?
He curled his lips without leaving a trace. They had only sent out two small fries. Wasn't the Jiang Clan looking down on him too much? Could it be that his actions just now had not lured out the big fish of the Jiang Clan?
"Great Elder Chen, Great Elder Yuan."
The appearance of the two old men caused the preliminary members of the four big aristocratic families to stand up and greet them. Even the five youths of the Jiang Clan were not arrogant enough to look down on these two old men.
Only Mo Wen acted as though he had not seen the two old men. He was still sitting in his original position, not even moving his butt.
The two old men were the Clan Leaders of the Yuan Clan and the Chen Clan. They had the status of the Great Elder of the Dafang Sect. Although the two clans were not as powerful as the Jiang Clan, they still had a respectable status in the Dafang Sect.
When the preliminary members of the Chen Clan and Yuan Clan saw that Mo Wen was being so rude to their Clan Leaders, they immediately glared at him. Some of them were even prepared to step forward and teach Mo Wen a lesson.
Looking down on the Clan Leaders of the two clans was no different from looking down on their clans.
"You are Mo Wen?"
The Chen Clan Leader extended his hand to stop a youth who was walking towards Mo Wen. He looked at Mo Wen with a complicated gaze.
Mo Wen lifted his eyelids and said plainly, "What can I do for you?"
Since the three aristocratic families had refused to cooperate with them, it meant that the three clans were not on his side. Moreover, they could possibly be people from the Jiang Clan. Hence, he naturally did not need to be polite to the people from the three clans.
Anyway, they were on different sides of the road. Whether they were friends or foes was still an unknown matter.
"No."
The Chen Clan Leader's lips moved a little, as though he wanted to say something. However, for some reason, he shook his head. Then, he no longer paid attention to Mo Wen.
"Next, we will open the forbidden area of the sect. I believe that all of you know a little about what is inside. Five hundred meters deep in the forbidden area, there is an altar built by the ancestors of the Dafang Sect. On it, there is a Dafang Insignia. Among all of you, the one who can obtain the Dafang Insignia and bring it out will be the next sect leader of the Dafang Sect. "
The Yuan Clan Leader slowly looked at the crowd. Then, he walked to the front of a wall and took out a Dafang Insignia. Slowly, he embedded it into a groove. The next moment, there was a rumbling sound. One of the mountain walls slowly split into two, revealing a black cave entrance.
Inside the cave entrance, there was a deep darkness, as though there was no end to it.
"All of you, prepare yourselves. After half an hour, you will enter separately. Whether or not you can obtain the position of sect leader will depend on your own abilities."
After the Chen Clan Leader finished speaking, he walked to the two sides of the passageway with the Yuan Clan Leader. He sat cross-legged and closed his eyes to rest.
The ten preliminary members in the cave looked at each other, then entered the passageway one by one.
It might have been an illusion, but when the preliminary members of the Chen Clan and Yuan Clan passed through the passageway, the lips of the two Clan Leaders trembled slightly. It was as though they were talking to themselves, but it also seemed as though they were not saying anything.
However, the bodies of the preliminary members of the Chen Clan and Yuan Clan stiffened slightly. They paused for a moment, then once again walked into the passageway.
After the preliminary members of the four aristocratic families had all entered, Mo Wen slowly stood up. He looked at the two elders and curled his lips into a smile, saying, "The two Clan Leaders really know how to protect yourselves. Are you not afraid that the walls have ears?"
Mo Wen smiled strangely. His gaze intentionally or unintentionally glanced at a corner of the cave. Then, with a flash of his figure, he disappeared into the passageway. (To be continued.)
