“What if I say no?”
At that moment, Ye Zhong did not deny that he had obtained the Purple Wood Spirit Root on hand. Instead, he looked at Elder Mo with a smile that was not a smile and spoke plainly.
Hearing that, Elder Mo shook his head and sighed: “Right now, you people from the Xingxiang Sect are like that. They all think that the three words of the ‘Xing Xiang Sect’ is enough to give them the greatest advantage, yet in the end, they don’t even understand when they should give in and protect their lives……What a pity!”
“That depends on the opponent, right? Do you dare to threaten me with mere cultivation at the Fourth Layer of Body Tempering? I never thought that the older you are, the more naive you are!” Hearing that, Ye Zhong laughed softly, his words did not give the Elder Mo the slightest bit of face.
“You’re courting death!” Elder Mo laughed coldly and stomped his foot. His figure instantly dashed forward and a terrifying fist was sent towards Ye Zhong.
Facing such a terrifying attack, Ye Zhong narrowed his eyes, but the next moment, he sneered and took a step forward, his right-hand clenching into a fist as well, and Four Imprints of Shura Sword Seal appeared on his right fist before he punched out heavily!
The sword seal was just like a rune symbol and did not appear conspicuous. However, when the four of them were stacked together, the wild and violent strength that was hidden within was sufficient to cause anyone who sensed it to feel their soul tremble!
“Today, I want to see what ability a disciple of the Xingxiang Sect has!” When Elder Mo saw that Ye Zhong did not dodge, the ferocious look on his face grew even more intensified.
“*Bang——*”
Almost the next moment, the two fists suddenly collided. But as the two fists collided, Elder Mo’s complexion suddenly paled as an incredulous look appeared in his eyes.
“How is this possibl——”
“*Puff——*”
Before he could finish his sentence, Ye Zhong’s punch had already shattered his arm, and the merciless punch landed right on his chest with a terrifying force.
Elder Mo’s body trembled as a bloody hole appeared in his chest. He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood before collapsing to the ground with a look of disbelief. In just a blink of an eye, he was already dead.
“What?”
“How is that possible!?”
The nearly ten Mo Clan sabre wielders standing nearby, were dumbfounded for a moment before they recovered with looks of disbelief on their faces. They had never thought that their Elder at the Fourth Layer of Body Tempering would die so cleanly in just a single exchange!?
Looking at Ye Zhong’s calm expression, the Mo Clan powerhouses were shocked. In the next moment, they all turned and ran away at the same time. It was obvious that they knew perfectly well that since their Elder was no match for Ye Zhong, they were probably no match for him either. The most important thing right now was to bring the news back to their master, Mo Fanlong.
“Since you’re here anyway, and you don’t bring some gifts back, I’m afraid that Mo Fanlong would say that I don’t know how to treat guests! Come, I’ll give it to you!” Ye Zhong smiled coldly, and with a flip of his hand, a few long green steel swords appeared in his hands. He then brandished the long sword, the Shura Sword Seal appearing in his palm, and the long swords were thrown out instantly.
“*Puff— Puff— Puff—*”
The figures that sprang out were all shocked as each one of them was nailed to the ice singly by Ye Zhong’s long swords. When they were about to die, their faces were filled with disbelief. No matter how hard they tried, with their level of strength, they could not understand how they were defeated so easily and so quickly!
As the last Mo Clan powerhouse was nailed to the ice, Ye Zhong stepped forward and retrieved Elder Mo’s Universe Ring. He then clapped his hands and left.
From all directions, many powerhouses broke out in a cold sweat as they watched the scene unfold. Even though most of them knew that the Universe Ring that Ye Zhong obtained was full of treasures, none of them dared to have any ideas about it. Their hearts were all filled with fear and dread. Obviously, they had never imagined that this young man would act more ruthless than his age gives out to be!
Only those few who had witnessed Ye Zhong’s attack sighed inwardly. They were getting more and more afraid of his approach. It was obvious that even if they were given the guts, they would not dare to act against Ye Zhong.
As for the fate that Mo Fanlong, he would end up suffering if he were to provoke this fellow, it was something worth considering.
After shaking their heads and sighing for a while, these people focused their attention on the remaining Purple Frost Profound Lotuses around them and began to continue their careful search.
◇◇◆◆◇◇◆◆◇◇◆◆◇◇◆◆◇◇◆◆◇◇
After leaving the frozen lake, Ye Zhong casually scanned through the Universe Ring that he had just obtained. Other than some Purple Frost Profound Lotus and Spirit Stones, there was nothing else in it. It was obvious that this Elder Mo did not have that high position in the Mo Clan, at least he did not have any valuable items with him.
After looting the items, Ye Zhong followed the sparse stream of people and moved to a deeper region at a fast pace.
After travelling for half an hour, they were finally able to see a piece of flatland with a few ancient and dilapidated pavilions everywhere. At this moment, quite a few people were entering and exiting these buildings, searching for possible treasures.
However, this place was even more chaotic than the frozen lake was. In the frozen lake, at least there wouldn’t be much of a dispute between powerhouses. However, as long as anything similar to Spirit Vessels, Spirit Secret Arts, or Spirit Herbs appeared in this place, people would immediately rush over like wolves or tigers preying on an innocent sheep. No matter what they got a hand on, they would always pay an enormous price.
Ye Zhong glanced at the screen but did not have much interest in it. With his many years of experience, he could tell with a single glance that this place was merely an outskirt of the Innate Temple back then. If there really was something here, it would definitely be considered unranked. Those true high-ranked experts from major powers obviously wouldn’t have any interest in this place.
According to Ye Zhong’s understanding of Su Yu, even if she arrived here, she wouldn’t have any intentions of touching this place. With that thought in mind, Ye Zhong passed by these places, and continued further into the depths. Even if there were occasionally some people who were blind enough to attack him. Ye Zhong was not the least bit polite, his hand blasted out with the Shura Sword Seal, directly sending all of them flying with blood in their mouths. In the end, no one had the guts to stand in front of Ye Zhong. They all had a tacit understanding that if they did not provoke Ye Zhong, they would be fine, but if they did, it would bring them great trouble.
However, the appearance of these people was equivalent to giving Ye Zhong a chance to hone out his newly cultivated skill. After He sent a dozen or so people flying, he had become more proficient at using the Shura Sword Seal.
After travelling through the surrounding buildings for half a day, the buildings had become a bit sparser. Even if a few buildings appeared occasionally, they were basically rather magnificent and large temples. Of course, at this moment, sounds of fighting constantly echoed out from these great temples.
Ye Zhong shook his head after his gaze swept over in a while. The items that appeared here could be considered somewhat good; he had already seen more than a dozen low-grade Spirit Vessels. It’s just that the appearance of these weapons had attracted much attention and instigated an intense fight over them. Even if Ye Zhong was not interested in engaging in such an extremely chaotic fight over these items.
Ye Zhong continued to travel deeper, and after about half a day, the surroundings in the great temple became rare and exquisite. However, there were also ancient passageways connecting the magnificent buildings together. Obviously, this should be the depths of the Innate Temple. Even during the peak of the Innate Temple’s era, there weren’t many disciples that could reach this depth.
Soon, Ye Zhong arrived at a huge square, and at the end of the square, a huge stone temple appeared before him. At this moment, the stone temple had been destroyed, and there were faint streaks suggesting that there were people inside. Obviously, they were fighting for something inside at the moment
Ye Zhong paid attention to the streaks inside as his gaze swept over the fight and hesitated for a moment but did not enter. Even though he could tell that this place was rather important, it shouldn’t be a place like the Spiritual Secret Arts Temple or the Spirit Artifact Temple or something like that. Even if there was something inside, it probably wouldn’t be any good either.
Just as Ye Zhong was about to leave, a furious voice shouted from the great temple, “You people, with the surname Ye! You have offended our Xingxiang Sect, do you still want those few entry spots for your Ye Clan next year?”
“Heh heh heh, as long as we finish all three of you here, who would know what happened here? However, if you are well-behaved and obedient, we can still be good friends, can’t we?” A peal of insolent laughter and somewhat villainous eloquence sounded out. Obviously, at this moment, the owner of the delicate voice just now was already at an absolute disadvantage.
Outside the stone temple, Ye Zhong, who was preparing to leave, paused slightly. After a while, he sighed and shook his head slowly. He was naturally able to tell that the previous owner of the voice should be one of the three Outer Disciples from the Xingxiang Sect that he had met earlier.
The enemies they were facing right now were most likely the Ye Clan from the Five Great Clans!
If Ye Zhong had not met those three female disciples before, he would not have bothered to interfere in such matters. However, after a moment of silence, he slowly walked in.
Whether one admits it or not, the Xingxiang Sect provided them a certain degree of protection. It’s a whole different story if they didn’t know each other, but since they did, it was a bit unreasonable to pretend that he didn’t and turned away right now!
Furthermore, those people who attacked them all had the surname Ye, which was another reason why Ye Zhong had to appear!
No wonder that time in the City Lord’s Mansion, the half of Ye Clan younger generation didn’t show themselves. It seemed like the other half was here.
