Chapter 252: Chapter 110 Gratitude Destiny
“Elder Mo Baiye?” Shi Yunjing looked over.
“Hall Master!”
Pretending to be surprised, Mo Baiye clasped his fists in a salute, “This subordinate heard that the Heaven Mandate Hall had collapsed and came over specially. Seeing that the Hall Master is here to take charge, it seems that Mo Baiye has been presumptuous!”
Shi Yunjing smiled and nodded, “Elder Mo Baiye is concerned about the Heaven Mandate Hall; how is that presumptuous!”
Mo Baiye looked over curiously, “Since the Hall Master is here, have you been able to find out what exactly happened? Why would such a sturdy structure as the Heaven Mandate Hall collapse directly? Could it be a stealth attack?”
“This…”
Shi Yunjing hesitated for a moment and explained what he knew.
Although he had already heard from Mo Hong, Mo Baiye acted as if it was his first time hearing it, filled with disbelief. After the other party had finished speaking, he then looked towards Zhang Xuan who was not far away, “Everyone else’s assessments went without incident, their assessment led to the collapse of Heaven Mandate Hall… could it be that they did something underhanded?”
Shi Yunjing disapproved, “Elder Mo Baiye, speak with caution!”
Mo Baiye quickly nodded, “Perhaps it’s my wild imagination. I have a presumptuous request to ask of the Hall Master! I would like my disciple Mo Hong to try out Young Master Zhang’s capabilities… also to clear his name. Otherwise, even if we don’t think so, it won’t look good for him when others hear about it!”
“This…”
Shi Yunjing frowned and turned his head to look towards Zhang Xuan, “Young Master Zhang, this is the leader of the Mo Blade Sect and also Elder Mo Baiye of our Heaven Mandate Hall. He wishes to gauge your strength, may I ask if it is convenient…”
“I am honored to the extreme!” Zhang Xuan smiled and nodded.
He had replicated the Mo Dao, and they must have noticed something, or else they wouldn’t keep sending disciples over!
It seems they wanted to see if he could practice Mo Dao and whether it was related to the death of his disciples.
Seeing his agreement, Mo Baiye looked at Mo Hong, who stepped forward upon receiving the look, and a powerful aura immediately swept over everyone.
Mo Hong, a Galaxy Realm third level expert at the peak of Divine Clarity Realm, was even stronger than Min Jiangtao who had just broken through.
Knowing he faced a formidable enemy, Zhang Xuan’s eyes narrowed. He reached into the void and the Cold Nether Sword appeared in his palm, and his aura burst forth—equip himself at the peak of the Dharma Form Realm!
“Using a sword?”
Mo Baiye frowned, discreetly signaling Mo Hong with a glance.
Reaching the third level with Mo Dao would definitely surpass sword arts. If enough pressure was applied, he could be compelled to show it.
Even if it wasn’t openly displayed, the use of it would be sensed discreetly.
Understanding his meaning, Mo Hong nodded, long saber in hand, “Please!”
“Please!”
Zhang Xuan nodded, drawing his sword.
“Hold on…”
Just as tensions rose, a faint voice interrupted, “With Elder Mo Hong’s strength, comparing himself with someone who hasn’t even broken through the Galaxy Realm, isn’t that a bit unfair?”
Everyone turned their heads to see the super genius Yan Sansan staring intently and looking displeased.
Mo Hong smiled slightly, “Just trying it out, don’t worry, I will show mercy!”
Yan Sansan stepped forward, “I would also like to try and see how formidable a third-level Galaxy Realm expert truly is. Elder Mo Hong, may I ask for a bit of guidance?”
“This…”
Mo Hong furrowed his brow and looked to his teacher.
“Who is this…”
Mo Baiye was puzzled.
He had not seen this newly-emerged young man before.
“I am Yan Sansan!” Yan Sansan nodded.
Mo Baiye suddenly realized, “The super genius of the Yan Family? To challenge the Galaxy Realm at such a young age takes courage, but you are still far behind in strength… better to wait until your cultivation progresses further before challenging Elder Mo Hong!”
Yan Sansan scoffed, “Once my cultivation advances further, would he even be a match for me?”
“What an arrogant young man!”
Being looked down upon by a teenager, Mo Hong could not help getting angry, “Fine, let me see what you rely on to be so brazen.”
“Very well!”
Yan Sansan moved to the center, having only taken two steps before he heard Kong Shiyao’s suppressed voice coming from nearby, “What are you doing? You’re not his match!”
Yan Sansan nodded, “I’ve just comprehended my destiny, urgently needing a battle to break through to the Galaxy Realm! Otherwise, it would take me at least half a month to break through on my own. Besides, you gave me the golden koi to replace your teacher in the vanguard, consider it a repayment!”
Kong Shiyao was speechless, “I don’t need your repayment…”
Yan Sansan, “That won’t do! A true man must repay kindness and avenge wrongs!”
“True man, little brat, where do you get all these ideas from…” Kong Shiyao shook her head.
Without another word, Yan Sansan approached Mo Hong, channeling his strength to the limit, extending his right hand, “Please!”
“Since you’re unarmed, I won’t take advantage of you!”
Mo Hong shook his palm and stabbed his Mo Dao into the ground nearby, trembling non-stop, as he too stepped forward with a fist.
Facing a kid who hadn’t even reached the Galaxy Realm, using Mo Dao was too much of a dignity loss for him.
“Good!”
Yan Sansan, unpretentious, clenched his fist and stepped forward. Instantaneously, the surrounding Origin qi howled, rushing over, creating a gust around him.
Zhang Xuan observed and a book appeared in his mind which he casually opened.
“Yan Sansan, originally named Yan Song, a descendant of the Yan Family from Yun Valley City, practices ‘Gratitude Destiny’, must repay kindness, the more one repays, the faster the progress…”
“This…” Zhang Xuan was surprised.
Gratitude Destiny, making progress by repaying kindness… what a unique destiny!
No wonder Kong Shiyao just had to say a few words, and he insisted on repaying her—wanting to take on Elder Mo Hong on her behalf. Turns out, this was the reason.
These thoughts flashed through Zhang Xuan’s mind as he turned to look at Mo Hong not far away.
“Mo Hong, main disciple of Mo Baiye from Mo Blade Sect, peak of the third level of Galaxy Realm, master of the second realm of Mo Dao. Weakness: impotence…”
“Figures!”
Seeing the last two characters, Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Almost everyone he had seen practicing Mo Dao had this common issue; clearly, there was a problem with the cultivation method.
He turned his gaze to Mo Baiye.
Since he hadn’t displayed any skills, no book formed about him.
Hesitating for a moment, Zhang Xuan flicked his finger and a pebble flew straight towards Mo Baiye’s face.
Mo Baiye lightly caught the pebble, turning his puzzled face towards him.
Are you ill? Attacking me?
Zhang Xuan said nothing, just smiled slightly and no longer cared.
That flick had caused the other to use his strength, and he got what he wanted—an introduction to his opponent.
“Mo Baiye, founder of Mo Dao Destiny, leader of Mo Blade Sect, a 6-dan expert of the Galaxy Realm, master of the third level of Mo Dao Destiny at the pinnacle. Weakness: Blade Wind is fierce…”
“No, impotence isn’t listed among his weaknesses!”
Zhang Xuan’s eyes narrowed.
This guy’s saber art passed down to his disciples was deliberately corrupted!
