There were stone steps leading up from the gates. The steps led up to a large marble square where there were further several flights of stairs. At the end of the stairs was an enormous palace.
Mo Wen had only just walked into the square when crowds of Crimson Star Sect disciples emerged from the palace and onto the square. They crowded around Mo Wen and surrounded him completely.
“Who dares to make trouble at the Crimson Star Sect? Are you tired of living?” A voice rang out. The wind rustled and a person appeared above the square, suspended in mid-air. The person was a short, thin old man. He was like a monkey and looked furtive. His face was covered with an unshaved beard.
He was the elder from the Crimson Star Sect who was on duty today. He had suddenly received news that someone had barged into the Crimson Star Sect and had rushed over immediately. Someone had dared to barge into the sect! How dare they?
“Get your sect leader to come out,” Mo Wen said lightly.
“Little b*stard! Who do you think you are? Is the sect leader someone you can meet? How dare you hurt those from the Crimson Star Sect. Die!”
The short and skinny old man was short, and his voice was as sharp as a eunuch’s. He did not intend to make small talk and immediately prepared to strike. The simplest method to deal with a young man like Mo Wen was to capture him alive. Then, anything else could be easily settled.
The short and skinny old man flew through the air and landed in front of Mo Wen. His dry and thin hand clawed at Mo Wen’s throat. The sharp wind seemed to be able to pierce through the illusionary space. A warrior in the mid-Embryonic Breathing Realm would not hesitate to deal with a young man.
Mo Wen’s lips curled up into a cold smirk. He put his hands behind him and remained standing where he was. However, an intangible halo appeared in front of him.

The old man screamed in pain. He looked at Mo Wen in fear and shock, wanting to pull his hand out from the halo. However, the intangible halo seemed to have a layer of terrifying suction that held on to his hand. He could not wrench his hand out from it. His body sunk into the halo uncontrollably. In mere moments, the man’s entire body disappeared into the halo, leaving no trace behind.
Everything had happened so quickly. The disciples of the Crimson Star Sect around them did not even have the time to react. An Elder had been swallowed just like that. His body could not even be found.
“Hand the Crimson Star Sect sect leader over. If he does not appear in one minute, I will bathe the Crimson Star Sect in blood,” Mo wen said lightly. Then, he stood absolutely still.
A number of the Crimson Star Sect disciples who had surrounded Mo Wen looked at him in fear. They backed away, not daring to stay close to him. A few others ran into the palace.
In less than a minute, several figures flew out of the palace and appeared in the square.
“How dare you make trouble at the Crimson Star Sect. Who gave you the guts to do this?”
Among those who had just appeared, the lowest cultivation level was at the Embryonic Breathing Realm. There were a few others who were at the peak of the Embryonic Breathing Realm. They were the true powers of the Crimson Star Sect and could not be compared to ordinary martial arts sect.
A rough-looking man whose eyes bulged like copper bells appeared and yelled loudly. He stepped forward. The ground cracked like thunder beneath his feet, and he appeared before Mo Wen. His fists, which were the size of soccer balls, smashed at Mo Wen’s head.
The air crackled and rolled. The entire square was covered in sand and stones.
Mo Wen treated the startling and menacing blow as if it were a fly. He waved his hand casually, and the large man flew backward. The man slammed into a stone sculpture on the square which was immediately pulverized. The large man coughed up blood and his face was as pale as a sheet. He fell onto the ground and could barely get up.
The people around them inhaled sharply. The large man was a famous Elder in the Crimson Star Sect. He was in the late Embryonic Breathing Realm and his combat ability was said to be at the peak of the Embryonic Breathing Realm as well. A vicious man like him had been swatted away like a fly by Mo Wen.
“Young man, who are you? Why are you making things difficult for the Crimson Star Sect? Do you know what will happen if you annoy the Crimson Star Sect?” action
In the crowd, an old man in white who was in his 70s stood in front of everyone. He looked at Mo Wen and then at the ten-odd people Mo Wen had tied up behind him. A glint of cold light flashed in his eyes.
It was obvious that the young man had ill-intentions towards them. He was also arrogant and full of himself. How dare he cause trouble for the Crimson Star Sect?
Many people had noticed the people Mo Wen had tied up behind him. However, their focus was on the black-golden puppet. A golden puppet that could fly in the air? What exactly was it?
The Crimson Star Sect would naturally not know about something like the immortal cultivator puppet. They were all immensely curious about it.
“The consequences of annoying the Crimson Star Sect? Then do you know the consequences of annoying me?” A cold smirk appeared on Mo Wen’s lips.
“Sect leader, he is the sect leader of Dafang Sect, Mo Wen. This brat dares to bully the Crimson Star Sect! He’s too much.” A voice rang out from behind. A man ran over, panting heavily. The distance was large between the palace and the square. It seemed to have taken the man a lot of effort to run over. He did not seem like a warrior at all. The person was none other than Hu Jiangming, whose cultivation had been removed by Mo Wen.
A woman followed closely behind Hu Jiangming. Her lithe figure was clothed in purple and her martial arts skills were extraordinary. She was Fang Junsheng’s older sister, Fan Jingjing.
“Sect leader, this brat has got the nerve to dare to create trouble in the Crimson Star Sect. I already told you that he arrogant and full of himself.”
Hu Jiangming ran to the old man, glaring at Mo Wen viciously as he spoke about him. He had not expected that Mo Wen would be courageous enough to charge into the Crimson Star Sect to create trouble.
The old man standing in front was the sect leader of the Crimson Star Sect, Huo Shuangnian. He ranked among the top five powerhouses in the entire Crimson Star Sect.
When Fan Jingjing heard that Mo Wen was the youth who had done great harm to her younger brother, anger surged up from within her. Her anger rose and exploded as she charged at Mo Wen.
However, Huo Shuangnian stopped her immediately. He had seen for himself how strong Mo Wen was. Fan Jingjing was very talented and was considered a genius among geniuses. Her cultivation levels were at the beginning stages of the Embryonic Breathing Realm, but she was still far less powerful than the terrifying youth.
Mo Wen was a warrior who could throw another warrior in the late Embryonic Breathing Realm into the air with a wave of his hand. Not even he could do that.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Mo Wen, lad, you came at just the right time. If you do not treat Junsheng, then I will make your life a living hell.” Fan Jingjing could not bear simply stand by, despite being blocked by her sect leader. She yelled at Mo Wen and glared at him viciously.
“So you are sect leader Mo Wen of the Dafang Sect?” Huo Shuangnian’s expression grew dark. The sect leader of Dafang Sect had come personally to the Crimson Star Sect. However, he was not here to beg for forgiveness. Instead, he was here to make trouble. Did he really think that the Crimson Star Sect was useless? How dare a sect leader of a little sect be so arrogant? As the Crimson Star Sect’s sect leader, Huo Shuangnian felt that his honor was being challenged.
“I am. Didn’t the Crimson Star Sect ask me to come to beg for forgiveness? I am here now,” Mo Wen said lightly.
“You don’t look like you are begging for forgiveness,” Huo Shuangnian said with a cold laugh.
“Then we will have to see if you all have the ability to make me beg for forgiveness. I am standing here now. Show me what you have. You have already sent out the martial arts circle notice. I want to see what kind of abilities you all have,” Mo Wen said indifferently. He placed his hands behind his back and stood there. There seemed to be nothing special about him, but he became the main focus of everyone in the square.
“Alright! You’re so arrogant. Young man, you will break easily if you’re too stubborn. Didn’t your parents tell you that? Alright, then I will teach you that today!” Huo Shuangnian was so angry he started to laugh. The Qi in his body rolled off him in waves, causing his white shirt to billow behind him. The Elders standing close to him all backed away, not daring to stand too close to him. The entire square was enveloped in a terrifying aura.
The Elders of the Crimson Star Sect were all secretly shocked. Their sect leader’s cultivation had improved again. He would probably enter the Golden Elixir Realm in a few years!
“It’s bustling in the Crimson Star Sect today. I have come at the right time.” A voice that sounded somewhat out of place rang in the square. Two women appeared and they approached slowly. They were none other than Wang Qinghan and Little Tang.
The people of the Crimson Star Sect were attracted by Wang Qinghan’s voice. They did not expect someone else to come to the Crimson Star Sect at this time.
“Are you Miss Wang Qinghan of the Zhongyu Sect?” Huo Shuangnian had been prepared to attack and subdue Mo Wen. However, his expression changed slightly with the appearance of Wang Qinghan. His eyes started to shine with uncertainty.
Wang Qinghan’s sudden appearance at this point in time was worth thinking about. Wang Qinghan’s status in the Zhongyu Sect meant that she could represent it. Did her appearance have something to do with Mo Wen, the sect leader of Dafang Sect? Why else would she turn up here now? Did that mean that the Zhongyu Sect was prepared to interfere in the matter between the Crimson Star Sect and Dafang Sect?
“Uncle Huo, it’s been a while. You’re still as charming as ever. I am indeed Wang Qinghan from Zhongyu Sect. I am here on behalf of my sect to visit the Crimson Star Sect and strengthen the relationship between our sects,” Wang Qinghan said with a smile.
“Miss Wang Qinghan, this is such a coincidence. You would not have come for no reason. Is something the matter?” Huo Shuangnian said lightly, the double meaning obvious in his words.
He looked at Mo Wen and then at Wang Qinghan. He realized that they both were expressionless. It was as if they knew that the other party had come to the Crimson Star Sect.
His expression slowly grew grave. No wonder the sect leader of Dafang Sect had dared to make trouble at the Crimson Star Sect. They had the support of Zhongyu Sect!
“Uncle Huo, you are indeed wise, but you have guessed wrongly. I have not come for anything and am just here to watch.” Wang Qinghan gave him a slight smile. She could tell what Huo Shuangnian was implying. She wanted to help Mo Wen, but the problem was that he did not need her help at all. Or perhaps, one could say that Zhongyu Sect wanted to show off, but they did not have the chance to.
It was a pity that the sect leader of the Crimson Star Sect was still in the dark. She felt rather sad for the Crimson Star Sect.
