Free Web NovelChapter 322: Old Mu and Yun Qi
After leaving the Moon Pavilion, Qian Zhong summoned a 50 feet large blue chariot.
"The Heavenly Lunar Chariot, it’s been a while since I last used it." Qian Zhong muttered with reminiscence.
Qian Zhong gestured for Tang Yin to enter the chariot, which he did. Qian Zhong then entered after him.
Upon entering the chariot, Tang Yin was somewhat amazed. It was even more luxurious than Xu Yu’s Celestial Moon Chariot. Virtually everything was carved out of jade and gold.
Tang Yin sat on one side of the Heavenly Lunar Chariot whilst Qian Zhong sat on the other side, which was the main area of the chariot’s interior.
"The trip shouldn’t be long. It will only take around 4 days with our speed." Qian Zhong casually said. Tang Yin merely nodded, he wasn’t one for idle talk.
If nobody spoke to him, he wouldn’t speak either as long as he didn’t have anything to say.
The Heavenly Lunar Chariot sped off into the distance in a blue arc. Its speed was on par with a Late-stage Principle Manipulation Realm cultivator’s pace.
....
4 days flowed by quickly.
With Qian Zhong beside him, nothing posed a problem. All Rank 7 Demonic Beasts were deterred by the Law Domain Realm aura emanating from the Heavenly Lunar Chariot.
They also didn’t encounter any Rank 8 Demonic Beasts. As a Law Domain Realm cultivator, Qian Zhong knew where the nearby Rank 8 Demonic Beasts resided, therefore, he detoured around those areas.
Tang Yin also took note of those areas. His grand plan for the Abyss Firmament hinged on Rank 8 Demonic Beasts. By knowing where some of them resided beforehand, he wouldn’t need to aimlessly waste time searching for them in the future.
Currently, the Heavenly Lunar Chariot had arrived inside a large valley surrounded by a circle of mountains.
"This is the Hectic Chasm Holy Land?" Tang Yin questioned with scepticism.
Qian Zhong laughed, "Of course not. Every Holy Land is heavily guarded by its Rank 8 Organization. This is merely one of the defensive outposts surrounding the Hectic Chasm Holy Land." He explained.
"This is only one of the defensive outposts surrounding the Hectic Chasm Holy Land? How many are there in total?" Tang Yin asked incredulously.
"There should be around 8 or so. Each one has at least a Peak-stage Principle Manipulation Realm cultivator in charge." Qian Zhong stated. "But this is not the case for this outpost. Due to you, someone special is waiting for us." His voice held displeasure, clearly, he didn’t like this ’special’ person.
Tang Yin was confused. He couldn’t understand why someone regarded as special by Qian Zhong would want to meet him.
"Let’s go." Qian Zhong snapped Tang Yin out of his thoughts and exited the Heavenly Lunar Chariot. Tang Yin followed Qian Zhong out of the chariot.
After exiting the chariot, Qian Zhong stored it back in his storage ring.
"Follow me." He stated before flying towards one of the numerous black buildings inside the valley.
Tang Yin followed Qian Zhong whilst scanning his surroundings. From what he could see, there were numerous black buildings located all over the valley. There was barely any space remaining in the valley that was not occupied by a black building or any other type of infrastructure.
There was also a large Array Formation around the valley, with the Heaven Piercing Gaze, Tang Yin could tell that it was at least a Tier 3 Array Formation, if not Tier 2.
However, Qian Zhong walked through the Array Formation as if it did not exist. Before entering though, he enveloped Tang Yin inside his Spirit Qi. Like this, Tang Yin also faced no difficulties, he easily walked through the Array Formation.
"Halt! Who ar-" An intimidating shout resounded from the Array Formation’s control centre. However, it was cut off by a stern stare from Qian Zhong.
"So, it is Senior Qian. Please pardon my rudeness." The same voice responded with extreme respect before retracting back into the Array Formation’s control centre.
Qian Zhong did not pay this any mind, he simply continued to walk towards the black building at the centre of the valley as if nothing had happened. Every person that they encountered on the way paid their respects to Qian Zhong and moved out of the way.
Tang Yin was not sure why Qian Zhong did not just teleport or fly to the building, but he kept quiet and obediently followed behind him.
Within a few minutes, the duo arrived before the black building. Qian Zhong did not continue inside, he simply stood outside as if he were waiting for something.
"Fellow Cultivator Qian, it’s good to see you again. I presume that’s him?" A rampant old voice resounded from the building they were standing before.
Tang Yin felt the suffocating divine sense of another Early-stage Law Domain Realm cultivator emerge from the building. What made him turn pale was that it was rushing towards him!
"Hmph! Old Mu, watch yourself!" With a cold snort, Qian Zhong sent out his divine sense to counterattack the opposing Early-stage Law Domain Realm cultivator’s divine sense.
Tang Yin felt grateful. The Heaven Deceiving Art could not fool Law Domain Realm cultivators yet. If the opposing Early-stage Law Domain Realm cultivator’s divine sense inspected his body, his Mid-stage Principle Comprehension Realm cultivation base would be exposed along with a few other secrets.
A sinister laugh rang out from the building before 2 male figures exited the building’s door.
One of the male figures was an old man with long white hair and a white beard. He had slight wrinkles adorning his face, insinuating his age clearly. He wore white robes that one would expect an old man to wear. The distinct aura of an Early-stage Law Domain Realm cultivator radiated from his body.
The other male figure was a slightly handsome man who seemed to be in his late 20s. He had long black hair and no facial hair. He wore white robes, but they were different from the old man’s. Instead, they were intricately crafted and screamed of nobility. He was a Mid-stage Principle Manipulation Realm cultivator.
Tang Yin felt a bit uncomfortable. Both the old man and the young man immediately stared at him upon exiting the building, completely ignoring Qian Zhong.
But they merely used their eyes, they couldn’t see through Tang Yin without the assistance of their divine senses which were blocked by Qian Zhong.
Inspecting someone with one’s divine sense was extremely disrespectful. It was akin to stripping them naked in public and exposing all their personal secrets.
The old man’s attempt to inspect Tang Yin with his divine sense was a clear indication of hostility.
"This is the problem that I was talking about." Qian Zhong transmitted to Tang Yin through his divine sense.
Although Tang Yin wasn’t sure, he somewhat understood what was happening.
"Tch, you want to let him enter the Hectic Chasm Holy Land? It’ll be a waste, why not let my disciple enter instead?" The old man, Old Mu, said with a dark expression.
"Exactly! What qualification do you have to enter the Hectic Chasm Holy Land? I, Yun Qi, am a dragon amongst men, how dare you obstruct my path to becoming a Sovereign?!" The young man, Yun Qi, questioned with boundless arrogance.
’Fucking hell. Their arrogance is a bit too exaggerated.’ From their words, Tang Yin had already inferred what was happening.
Clearly, there was only a single spot to enter the Hectic Chasm Holy Land. Originally, this spot was supposed to belong to Yun Qi. But due to Tang Yin’s appearance, they would need to compete to see who this quota belonged to.
"We’ll see who is qualified and who is not. I and Old Mu have already made an agreement. You 2 will have a fair battle, the winner will enter the Hectic Chasm Holy Land." Qian Zhong said with a dark voice, he also despised Yun Qi for his inflated arrogance.
Yun Qi merely let out a cold snort, he turned his head to Tang Yin, apparent killing intent visible in his eyes.
Old Mu seemed to be saying something to Yun Qi through his divine sense, he didn’t even try to hide this fact.
"Most cultivators who cultivate the Principle of Space are quite arrogant. They think that controlling Space Principles is akin to controlling the world. I was quite surprised when I saw your humble and normal attitude when I first met you." Qian Zhong transmitted to Tang Yin through his divine sense.
Tang Yin’s need to enter the Hectic Chasm Holy Land, an area dense with Space Principles, unintentionally made Qian Zhong mistake him for a cultivator who cultivated the Principle of Space.
However, Tang Yin did not correct him. There was no point in doing so. If the necessity arose in the future, then he would naturally inform him.
"Where will the battle take place?" Tang Yin asked, efficiently changing the subject.
"High in the sky, where nothing will be damaged." Qian Zhong responded. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
"Right now?" Tang Yin asked again.
"Of course, unless you want to take a break?" Qian Zhong answered.
