Mo Wen didn't know that during the time he had been away from Hua Xia Country, there had been quite a commotion in Hua Xia Country. The only granddaughter of the deputy chief of staff of the Capital Military Region had gone missing. This news had made it to the headlines of various major media outlets and online forums, and a huge reward had been offered. A search for her had swept through every corner of Hua Xia Country.
However, regardless of whether it was the military or the people, no matter how hard they searched, they still couldn't find the whereabouts of the little girl. Her disappearance was like a mystery, and there were no clues at all.
After their trip to Mount Fuji, Mo Wen and Shen Jing returned to Hua Xia University. She had applied for half a month's leave, and it was almost time for her to leave. After returning, Shen Jing quickly immersed herself in her work.
Mo Wen, on the other hand, took out a lot of time to accompany Qin Xiaoyou. During this period, he didn't look for Shen Jing. Shen Jing was smart enough not to look for him, as if she had completely forgotten about Mo Wen.
Qin Xiaoyou stuck to Mo Wen as a matter of course. She actually didn't attend many non-professional classes, but stayed at home to read and practice.
Lin Qing used her iron fist and superb management skills to quickly take control of the Blue Ocean Group within half a month. She reorganized such a huge financial group from inside out.
The following days were very peaceful. The only interlude was that after Jiang Siyin and Yang Ting returned to their clan, they finally found out that the Blue Ocean Group was no longer the Blue Ocean Group of the past. Meanwhile, the Square Consortium directly rejected all cooperation with the Yang Group, and even planned to withdraw from all investment projects with the Yang Group.
Coincidentally, the Blue Ocean Group also started to target the Jiang Group behind Jiang Siyin.
The two clans complained incessantly. In order to resolve this crisis, the people of the two clans punished Jiang Siyin and Yang Ting severely. They also tried to tie them up and bring them to Mo Wen to ask for forgiveness.
However, they didn't see Mo Wen. Regarding such a matter, Mo Wen naturally wouldn't be concerned.
The peaceful days didn't last long. Mo Wen received a letter from the Dafang Sect. It was written by Wang Yinru herself. In the letter, it said that the ancient martial arts influences in the series of the three big Mountain ranges had encountered a huge change. She hoped that he could immediately make a trip back to the Dafang Sect.
"Someone is blackmailing all the ancient martial arts influences in the series of the three big Mountain ranges!"
Mo Wen looked at the letter and was stunned. There was actually someone who had done such a thing. The ancient martial arts influences in the series of the three big Mountain ranges were not weak at all. There were quite a number of Embryonic Breathing realm ancient martial arts practitioners. The Yanxia Sect seemed to have an old lady at the pinnacle of the Embryonic Breathing realm. Who would be so arrogant and dare to extort all the ancient martial arts influences in the series of the three big Mountain ranges?
In the letter, it said that a group of unknown ancient martial arts practitioners had appeared in the series of the three big mountain ranges. Their original target was not the ancient martial arts influences in the series of the three big mountain ranges, but was related to the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan. It seemed that they were trying to snatch something from the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan.
After that, for some unknown reason, that group of people started to target the other ancient martial arts influences. Using extortion methods, they forced all the ancient martial arts sects in the series of the three big mountain ranges to hand over large amounts of Cultivation resources.
The ancient martial arts sects in the series of the three big mountain ranges naturally wouldn't compromise. They gathered all the ancient martial arts practitioners in the series of the three big mountain ranges who were in the Embryonic Breathing realm and had a great battle with that group of ancient martial arts practitioners. However, the result was tragic. They had actually been defeated. Even Granny Hong Yan, who was at the pinnacle of the Embryonic Breathing realm, had been seriously injured.
"That group of people has some guts. Could it be that they aren't afraid of the Huatian Palace's condemnation?"
Mo Wen raised his hand and the letter was burnt to ashes in a ball of golden flame. Although the Huatian Palace didn't care about the grudges in the Jianghu in the ancient martial arts world, even if they were to kill each other, the Huatian Palace would only turn a blind eye to it. However, such brazen extortion from all over the place, using their strength to wantonly snatch wealth, and making a big deal out of it, the Huatian Palace most likely wouldn't ignore it.
Of course, Mo Wen wouldn't place too much hope on the Huatian Palace. If the matter was blown out of proportion, the Huatian Palace might intervene. However, before the matter was blown out of proportion, the Huatian Palace would definitely not intervene. It was hard to say whether the series of the three big mountain ranges would be able to attract the attention of the Huatian Palace.
That night, Mo Wen left the capital and rushed to the Dafang Sect. Mo Wen didn't care about robbing others. However, when it came to him, he wanted to see who exactly the other party was.
It was already late autumn, and the temperature had suddenly turned cold. The Yandang Mountain was desolate, and the animals that were usually very active rarely came out.
A silhouette swept past the forest above the Yandang Mountain like a Giant Roc, sweeping towards the depths of the mountain range like the wind.
…
The Ghost Physicians Hu Clan was located at the junction of the Yandang Mountain and the Kuocang Mountain. At this moment, the atmosphere in the Hu Clan Manor House was tense and desolate. Even the servants guarding the door were uneasy. The sound of an autumn leaf falling to the ground could be heard.
"Grandfather, are you alright?"
In the main hall, Hu Qiongqi looked at his grandfather, Hu Tianfeng, a little worriedly. His eyes were filled with anger, but he couldn't vent it at all.
"I won't die yet."
Hu Tianfeng's face was gloomy. His face was pale, and he seemed to have suffered a serious injury.
"Father, Third Uncle has already fallen into the hands of that group of people. I'm afraid …" Hu Guiyuan's face was slightly pale. His breathing was unstable, and he seemed to be injured as well.
"Grandfather, does our clan really have the Absolute Rank martial art, Cold Ice Silk Palm?" Hu Guiyuan asked with an ugly expression. That group of people had come aggressively, insisting that their clan had the Ming Cult's magnum opus, the Cold Ice Silk Palm. If they didn't hand over the Cold Ice Silk Palm, Third Grandfather would most likely die at the hands of that group of people.
The Cold Ice Silk Palm was a very famous martial art in the Ming Cult. There was once a generation of Ming Cult's Left Wisdom King who cultivated this martial art. His fame shook the world, and he rarely had a worthy opponent.
Hu Tianfeng heard this and sighed deeply. He was silent for a long time before he said, "That year, when the Ming Cult was in chaos, our Ghost Physicians Hu Clan narrowly escaped the disaster. While we were retreating, we met a Ming Cult Leader who was seriously injured. Unfortunately, the Hu Clan's ancestors tried their best, but they still couldn't save the Leader. Before the Leader died, he left behind half of the Cold Ice Silk Palm's cultivation method. However, it was only the second half of the cultivation method, and it couldn't be cultivated at all. "
"Regarding the Cold Ice Silk Palm's cultivation method, it has always been a secret of the Hu Clan. Only the Clan Leaders of each generation knew about it. How did that group of people know about it?"
Hu Tianfeng sighed. That secret was known only to a few people in the Hu Clan, and outsiders actually knew about it. Could it be that this was the disaster that was destined to befall the Hu Clan?
"Grandfather, since the Cold Ice Silk Palm can't be cultivated, why not … Anyway, it's useless for our Hu Clan to keep it …"
Hu Qiongqi looked at Hu Tianfeng carefully. It was really not worth it for the Hu Clan to fall into a huge crisis for a martial art. Moreover, the Hu Clan couldn't cultivate that martial art at all. Otherwise, it would have become the Hu Clan's most powerful martial art long ago. It wouldn't have been left uncultivated until now.
"You don't know this, but the Cold Ice Silk Palm is no longer in our Hu Clan …"
Hu Tianfeng said helplessly. If he could hand over the Cold Ice Silk Palm, he would have handed it over long ago. He wouldn't have waited until now. However, the Cold Ice Silk Palm had been lost long ago. It was not in the Hu Clan at all.
Back then, there was a Clan Leader of the Hu Clan who was a genius. He was successful at a young age and had the opportunity to become the number one expert in the series of the three big mountain ranges. However, this person was arrogant, ambitious, and quite conceited. He thought that he could complete the cultivation method of the Cold Ice Silk Palm. Hence, he used the half of the Cold Ice Silk Palm as his foundation and forcefully cultivated this martial art.
In the end, he suffered from Qi deviation and became completely insane. After the Clan Leader disappeared, the half of the Cold Ice Silk Palm's cultivation method also disappeared.
After everyone in the Hu Clan knew the ins and outs of the matter, they all fell silent. Although they believed that the Cold Ice Silk Palm was not in the Hu Clan, that group of people did not believe that they would not let the Hu Clan off without obtaining the Cold Ice Silk Palm's cultivation method.
"What do we do now? That group of people only gave us three days. If we still can't hand over the Cold Ice Silk Palm's cultivation method, I'm afraid … "The Hu Clan's second master sighed and said worriedly. That group of people was too strong. Even if all the experts in the series of the three big mountain ranges joined forces, they wouldn't be a match for them.
"Wait! Elder Wang Yinru from the Dafang Sect has already contacted the young Sect Leader. I'm guessing that he will come back to settle this matter. "
A strange light flashed in Hu Tianfeng's eyes. That group of people was not only targeting the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan, but all the ancient martial arts influences in the series of the three big mountain ranges. If it was only the Hu Clan, they would not be able to do anything. However, if all the influences in the series of the three big mountain ranges were involved, then they would not be the only ones facing problems.
Especially the Dafang Sect, that mysterious young Sect Leader had not returned. Perhaps he could bring a turning point to the series of the three big mountain ranges.
"Mo Wen!"
A silhouette flashed in Hu Qiongqi's mind. He recalled the day when Mo Wen had killed the Jiang Clan's patriarch, and a glimmer of hope rose in his heart.
However, the hope in his heart was quickly reduced by the reality before his eyes. After all, among that group of people, there were also exceptional experts at the pinnacle of the Embryonic Breathing realm, and there were more than one of them. Yesterday, when Granny Hong Yan fought with them, she was quickly defeated. Among them, there was one person who was no longer a normal pinnacle of the Embryonic Breathing realm expert.
Mo Wen was just a youth, so it was difficult to say whether he could turn the tide.
"We can't pin our hopes on a youth. We don't have much time left. Father, there are many strong ancient martial arts sects that are on good terms with our Hu Clan. After we sent out the letter for help, did anyone respond?"
Hu Guiyuan frowned. However, he was worried about Mo Wen coming alone. After all, that group of people was too strong.
The Ghost Physicians Hu Clan was a medical aristocratic family. Many ancient martial arts sects needed their help. There were also many sects that owed the Hu Clan favors. Now that the Hu Clan was in danger, they couldn't possibly leave them in the lurch.
"Guiyuan, are you still counting on others?"
Hu Tianfeng looked at his son and sighed slightly. He said plainly, "In the ancient martial arts world, you can only rely on yourself forever. Don't you understand this principle?"
Hu Guiyuan's face turned gloomy. "Could it be that not a single one replied?"
"If it was just a normal opponent, perhaps someone would come to help. However, this time …"
Hu Tianfeng stopped halfway through his sentence. Those ancient martial arts sects were not stupid, and they knew what it meant to put their own safety first. No one wanted to offend the influences that could threaten all the ancient martial arts sects in the series of the three big mountain ranges. Moreover, the origins of those people were unknown. No one knew how powerful their background was, so who would dare to offend them? (To be continued.)
