Originally, all the factions were executing their missions in secret and they tried their best not to attract the attention of the Huatian Palace. However, right now, it would most likely be difficult for them to hide.
“Highness Stunning Snow, it is likely that the Huatian Palace has found out about the Blood ancestor’s Divine Blood. Do we continue our stay in Hua Xia Country?” the armored youth asked with a frown.
If the Huatian Palace interfered with their search for the Blood ancestor’s Divine Blood, it would be hard for them to achieve anything in Hua Xia Country. Even if they found the Blood ancestor’s Divine Blood, it would be impossible to say whether they could bring it back.
“You underestimate the Huatian Palace.” Highness Stunning Snow shook her head. “Most likely the Huatian Palace has long known about the Blood ancestor’s Divine Blood, but they turned a blind eye to this matter,” she said. “What kind of international affair can escape the radar of a gigantic institution like the Huation Palace?”
“So, does Your Highness believe that the Huatian Palace will not interfere with our search of the Blood ancestor’s Divine Blood?” the armored youth asked, surprised. He continued, “If the Huatian Palace allows us to take away the Blood ancestor’s Divine Blood, does it mean that this faction does not care about it at all?”
The Blood ancestor’s Divine Blood could cultivate an absolute authority. The entire main space did not have a strong practitioner of the level of a Blood ancestor. A Blood ancestor was a strong practitioner at the pinnacle of the Blood Kindred. Aside from the legendary Blood God that was practically non-existent, the strongest was the Blood ancestor.
“Naturally, it is not the case that the Huatian Palace is not concerned about the Blood ancestor’s Divine Blood. However, it is also not too concerned about it. The Huatian Palace’s Way of Practice is very different from that of our western world. They will very rarely give up their own Heavenly path to inherit the heritage of a Blood ancestor. Also, Huatian Palace is different from us. We have had a rivalry with the Blood Kindred for a millennium. We can arbitrarily take anything from the Blood Kindred, but the Huatian Palace’s attitude towards the western world has always been neutral. They would not make enemies of these major factions. If the Huatian Palace claimed the Blood ancestor’s Divine Blood, they would certainly make enemies of the Blood ancestors. The Huatian Palace most likely will not change its neutral stance just for a Blood ancestor’s Divine Blood.”
Stunning Snow slowly closed the bible in her hands. She had a very clear understanding of the Huatian Palace. A Sacred Palace member of the Gods Alliance like her would actively learn about and understand any faction that had any international influence, not just the Huatian Palace.
“The Huatian Palace will not hinder our operation?” A look of joy flashed in the eyes of the armored youth.
“Not necessarily.” Stunning Snow shook her head and plainly said, “There is an old saying in Hua Xia Country: circumstances change with the passage of time. Previously, the Huatian Palace did not intervene. That was because it was not wise to intervene, and they had no reason to concern themselves with the conflicts of the western world. But right now, the Blood Kindred have committed crimes in Hua Xia due to this incident and the Huatian Palace had something on them, so the Huatian Palace has a reason to intervene in such matters. Even if they do not contend for the Divine Blood on the surface, it does not mean that they will not do so in secret.”
Stunning Snow sighed softly. The idiot from the Blood Kindred clan indeed deserved death. Even if he did not die at the hands of the Huatian Palace, he would most likely receive a death penalty when he went back to Europe. Once the Huatian Palace found an excuse to intervene in this matter, it was bad news for all parties.
“We’ll change our plan. We can’t move around Hua Xia secretly anymore. It might cause the Huatian Palace to have the goods on us,” Stunning Snow said.
“How do we move around openly?” the armored youth asked curiously.
“Of course, we will be representing the Gods Alliance. We are here in Hua Xia for an official visit. Isn’t the Martial Arts Circle Convention happening soon? That is the best excuse. Besides, the International Superpowers Competition, which happens once every 50 years, is about to take place too. The Huatian Palace is most likely using the Martial Arts Circle Convention as one of the occasions to select their competing candidates. We can use the opportunity to survey the ability of Hua Xia’s ancient martial art practitioners.”
“If my guess is correct, the Blood Kindred will surely not give up either. They will most likely use this excuse to visit Hua Xia Country again.”
....
Time flew. Five days had passed in the blink of an eye. Mo Wen was accustomed to his life in bed.
After five days, his wounds had recovered a little. He could get out of bed to walk now. However, he remained in bed because he could recover faster by lying down.
In the morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated through the window, Mo Wen opened his eyes quietly. Two masses of golden flames burned brightly in his eyes, resplendent and dazzling.
Rumble!
A terrifying soul storm spread out instantly with Mo Wen at its center. Rays of Deified Soul Power poured out like mercury. In an instant, it covered an area with a radius of ten kilometers.
The entire Five Tigers Sect appeared in Mo Wen’s mind. He could see the huge entrance, the exquisite buildings on the mountain, the lively forest, the plank paths along the steep cliffs, and the beautiful scenery.
Only now did Mo Wen realize that the Five Tigers Sect was located in a valley and was surrounded by mountains. The terrain was precipitous. People who were not familiar with this place would most likely find it hard to enter this valley.
Mo Wen’s Deified Soul Power scanned the entire valley as though he was plowing the land. In a moment, Mo Wen had gained a full understanding of the valley. Even some hidden places in the Five Tigers Sect could not hide from his “eyes”.
“This Five Tigers Sect is not a small sect. It is comparable to the Dafang Sect. It actually has five Embryonic Breathing Realm ancient martial art practitioners. Most likely it has some fame in the martial arts circle.”
The golden light disappeared from Mo Wen’s eyes. His gaze returned to normal. After recovering for a few days, his Deified Soul Power, which had been sealed, had finally broken through the seal of lightning and forced its way out. This helped tremendously in his healing.
A dim light flickered on the medicine spiritual ring and a bottle of pills appeared in Mo Wen’s hands. They were the Heart Nourishing Pills. Even though his Inner Qi had yet to recover, his Deified Soul Power could activate the medicine spiritual ring.
Mo Wen’s complexion improved after he swallowed the entire bottle of Heart Nourishing Pills. He then continued to lie in bed to heal his injuries.
In the morning, after Su Wan’er delivered some breakfast to Mo Wen, she would leave in a hurry. She seemed to be very busy every day. Mo Wen had gotten used to this lifestyle. Naturally, it would be best for him to recover quietly in the wooden house.
With a creak, the wooden door was pushed open and a figure walked in. It was a maiden, dressed in ordinary rugged clothes. She was about eighteen or nineteen years old. Her facial expression was gentle.
A glint of curiosity flashed in Mo Wen’s eyes. Someone had actually come to this secluded wooden house, and the person was clearly not Su Wan’er.
“I am Wang Qian, a good friend of Wan’er’s. Are you Mo Wen?” Once Wang Qian entered the house, she turned her gaze towards Mo Wen.
“So you are Miss Wang Qian.” Mo Wen nodded his head. Su Wan’er had previously mentioned to him that this Wang Qian was her sect senior sister, as well as her only good friend.
Wang Qian held a tray in her hands. On it were some piping hot dishes. She placed the tray on the table and said, “As entrusted by Wan’er, I will be in charge of your meals for the next few days.”
Wang Qian was also an ordinary disciple of the Five Tigers Sect. She also regularly had sect missions to complete. It was just that she was mostly free for the next few days, so she had been dragged over by Wan’er to take care of Mo Wen’s needs.
“Then, thank you, Miss Wang Qian.” Mo Wen nodded his head. He had not imagined that Wan’er would entrust Wang Qian to take care of him.
“I am only in charge of your meals and of making sure that you don’t go hungry. I am not responsible for anything else. Just rest at ease and recuperate.”
After she said this, Wang Qian turned and prepared to leave. She had barely taken a few steps when she turned around again. She stared at Mo Wen and said, “Wan’er is very innocent and kind. Regardless of where you are from, I hope you won’t hurt her.”
Wang Qian was not as innocent as Wan’er. She was wary of Mo Wen. How had an ordinary person suddenly appeared deep in the primeval forests of the Taihang Mountains? It was very difficult for ordinary people to end up so deep in the primeval forests. Moreover, he was severely injured. That was even more abnormal.
Wang Qian was no fool. She had advised Wan’er a few times to mind her own business. In the end, it was of no use. This time, Wan’er had even asked Wang Qian to take care of this person.
“Of course, I will not harm her. You worry too much.” Mo Wen reassured her.
“I hope so. I do not know who you are or what your identity is, but Wan’er has done a lot to save you.”
Wang Qian looked at Mo Wen and softly sighed inside as she turned to leave. This foolish brat Wan’er was willing to be severely punished by the sect and even offered up her mother’s memento for this stranger.
She did not understand Su Wan’er’s methods. She only felt that Wan’er was foolish to the point that others pitied her.
Wang Qian had just left when Mo Wen got out of bed and ate the dishes on the table. Originally, he did not need to eat, but he had no reason not to eat these dishes.
The medicine efficacy of the Heart Nourishing Pills was constantly combating the destruction of the lightning power, healing the organs in his body. He could already move around freely. Aside from not having cultivation, on the surface, he was no different from a healthy person.
He walked out of the wooden house. To his left were cliffs and to his right was a hillside with a small slope. There were some small wooden houses on the hillside. The wooden houses were all very shabby, clearly having been around for some time. This place must be the district where the Five Tigers Sect’s lower level disciples lived. The environment was not too good. There were craggy rocks everywhere. The conditions were far inferior to those in the valley below. As for Su Wan’er’s small wooden house, even here, it was considered to be in the most remote location.
Mo Wen wandered around his surroundings and discovered that almost all of these small wooden houses were empty. The people who lived here must be busy with various matters.
He had lain in bed for five to six days. His bones were aching and he wanted to walk around. He passed through the area with buildings and headed towards the dense forest.
The scenery at the back of the mountain was beautiful. The air was clean, the birds were singing, and the flowers bloomed. Standing on a high place and being in the middle of all this made him feel very refreshed.
“Huh, something’s not right.”
As he walked, Mo Wen suddenly noticed that something was off. A bright light flashed in his eyes. He looked around and noticed that as he kept walking, he had actually returned to his original spot. He had been walking straight ahead all this while and had not made a turn at all.
Maybe an ordinary person could not accurately determine their direction in the mountain forests, but how could Mo Wen get it wrong?
“Interesting! There is actually a psychedelic stratagem here.”
Mo Wen observed the area for a long while before finally confirming this. The forest that he was in was hiding a psychedelic stratagem. The method was quite brilliant. If one was not paying attention, they would immediately fall for it. He had just come out for a stroll. When his guard was down, he also fell for it.
The psychedelic stratagem was one of the many types of stratagems. It had many functions, too numerous to enumerate. The psychedelic stratagem before him must be there to keep something hidden and to not let outsiders enter the space. If the person did not understand stratagem techniques, even if they had high cultivation, they most likely would not be able to crack this psychedelic stratagem.
