“You should know quite a lot about the Ming Cult’s current affairs, right?” Mo Wen asked plainly.

“Supreme leader, back then, the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan was not a core institution of the Ming Cult, so the things that we know are limited,” Hu Tianfeng said, while he sighed deeply.

He did not know anything about what had happened in the past. As for the Ming’s Cult’s current situation, he knew very little about that as well.

However, he did know that the Ming Cult was still a gigantic institution. It was gigantic a few hundred years ago, and it was still as majestic, even after all these years.

“Tell me what little you know,” Mo Wen said.

It was natural for Hu Tianfeng to not know much. After all, Mo Wen knew very little about the incidents in the past too.

“After the Ming Cult disbanded, many ancient martial art factions split out from it. After a few hundred years of development, those factions have been categorized into three major factions. These are the Ming Preservation Faction, the Anti-Ming Faction, and the Neutral Faction.”

He then added, “The people in the Ming Preservation Faction believe in the teachings of the Ming Cult. They intend to rebuild the Ming Cult and unite all of the believers in the country. On the other hand, the Anti-Ming Faction wishes that the Ming Cult would completely disappear. As such, they have been treating the Ming Preservation Faction as an enemy, and the two factions have been fighting each other for a few centuries. As for the Neutral Faction, they remained neutral.”

Their Ghost Physicians Hu Clan was a member of the Neutral Faction. Over the few centuries, there had always been factions that had split out from the Ming Cult in the past, which were attempting to rebuild the Ming Cult. However, these factions had never been successful.

“The Neutral Faction?” Mo Wen’s mouth curled to form a cruel smile.

“Supreme leader, you may not know this, but even though people in the Neutral Faction didn’t join in the fight, all of us had to sign an agreement. In the future, if the Ming Preservation Faction defeats the Anti-Ming Faction, the Neutral Faction must return to the Ming Cult. If the Ming Preservation Faction loses, then we will maintain the current status quo. So, you can say that the Ming Cult is still in the hearts of the people from the Neutral Faction.We are just not as extreme as the Ming Preservation Faction and the Anti-Ming Faction in voicing our opinions.”

After he finished speaking, Hu Tianfeng glanced at Mo Wen carefully. As the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan was a member of the Neutral Faction, he was naturally worried that Mo Wen would have ill feelings towards the Neutral Faction.

Actually, the Neutral Faction consisted mostly of small factions that were divided. As such, they didn’t have the ability to change the situation, and they were worried that they would be doomed eternally once they were sucked into the swirl of it all. Hence, they had chosen to remain neutral.

“Do you know who are the members of the Ming Preservation Faction and the Anti-Ming Faction now?” Mo Wen asked nonchalantly.

“I don’t know much. In the past, the Ming Cult was quite huge. The factions that split out from it are too many to count. As far as I know, the most famous members of the Ming Preservation Faction are the Tianshan Mountain Gao Clan and the Gong Clan. Throughout history, there were a few attempts to rebuild the Ming Cult, and they were all led by these two factions. On top of that, there are the Fei Xiao Sect from the Ten Great Ancient Martial Art Sects and the Chen Clan, which is hidden in the Yin Shan Mountain range.”

He then added, “Those are the renowned members of the Ming Preservation Faction. Hence, many people know about them. However, there are many members of the Ming Preservation Faction that keep a low-profile, so they are not known by outsiders.”

Hu Tianfeng laughed bitterly. The Ghost Physicians Hu Clan was but a small faction that had hidden itself away in the series of the three big Mountain ranges. So, of course they did not know much!

Back then, there were many splintered factions of the Ming Cult not only in the ancient martial arts world, but also in the Inner worlds. Legends said that, back when the Ming Cult was in its prime, even in many Inner worlds, it had huge foundations and support. Such a massive construct had too complicated a situation for his small faction to comprehend.

“Supreme leader, the Ming Cult’s affairs are too complicated. What I know about the splintered factions of the Ming Cult in the main space is limited, not to mention the Inner worlds,” Hu Tianfeng said, feeling somewhat helpless. In front of Mo Wen, he dared not carelessly talk about things that he did not know for sure.

“Ok, you may go,” Mo Wen said.

Even though the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan had lived for generations in the series of the three big Mountain ranges, they had never participated in the Ming Cult’s fights. Also, their faction was so small, so it was very normal for them to not know a lot about the current happenings of the larger factions.

...

In an unnamed forest, an elder dressed in purple sat cross-legged on top of a huge boulder. Both of his eyes were closed and he seemed to be resting.

Quite a number of people were standing around him. All of them had respectful looks on their faces, none of them daring to make a sound.

“It is almost time. Why haven’t Wu Fanggu and the others returned? Coming out into the outside world this time, their mission was the easiest. So, why are they late?” The elder dressed in purple slowly opened his eyes and spoke indifferently as he looked at the sky.

This elder’s voice was not very loud and lacked all emotion. But, the surrounding people did not dare even breathe too loudly as he spoke.

“Temple master, do we wait for them?” a middle-aged man asked as he walked forward and bowed to him respectfully.

“Send someone to investigate,” the elder dressed in purple said plainly. Then, he closed his eyes again.

After a full day had passed, a scout came sprinting back. With a leap, he landed in front of the elder dressed in purple.

He then half-kneeled on the ground and said, “Temple master, something has happened. There is a strong practitioner in the Yandang Mountains. Elder Wu and the others have been completely annihilated.”

“Completely annihilated?” The elder dressed in purple suddenly opened his eyes and exclaimed.

A light flashed past his eyes as he coldly asked, “Who did it? Could it be that the person has the Golden Elixir realm cultivation?”

Unless a martial arts practitioner of the Golden Elixir realm had appeared, there was practically no one who could kill Elder Wu and the rest!

“A Dafang Sect youth sect leader! In fact, rumor has it...” The scout paused for a moment, his eyes full of fear. He then continued and said, “That youth single-handedly killed Elder Wu and the rest. Word among the practitioners of the series of the three big Mountain ranges is that he has the Golden Elixir realm cultivation!”

“Youth! Golden Elixir realm!” The elder dressed in purple slightly narrowed his eyes and kept repeating what the scout had said. He was clearly in shock.

For a youth to have the Golden Elixir realm cultivation was very rare. Even in the Floating Mystery Dimension, there would only be a few who had such an impressive ability. Moreover, for such a young and strong practitioner to appear in a backwater place like the Yandang Mountains made the matter even more extraordinary!

“Temple master, rumors in the series of the three big Mountain ranges say that the youth took less than one minute to kill Elder Wu and the rest. I do not know whether this is true or not.” The scout cautiously reported this last piece of information, as it had yet to be verified.

“Nonsense! Only one minute? Even a martial arts practitioner at the intermediate stage of the Golden Elixir realm would most likely be unable to pull that off!” The elder dressed in purple coldly snorted.

Could it be that he has a later stage of the Golden Elixir realm cultivation? Even in their Ming Temple, it was impossible for such an outstanding talent to appear. He did not believe it himself.

“Temple master, what do we do now?” the scout asked.

After all, someone had actually dared to kill members of their Ming Temple, and they were completely annihilated. It was practically a slap in the face to the Ming Temple!

“Return immediately to the Floating Mystery Dimension. Don’t bother with them anymore. Wu Fanggu is unable to achieve anything, but he is good at spoiling things. If he is dead, then let him stay dead. As for the other half of the Cold Ice Silk Palm, we’ll deal with that later. Humph, if something big wasn’t about to happen in the temple, which causes us to rush back immediately, I would really like to meet this youth expert in person! However, the Ming Temple will remember this incident. Sooner or later, we will find him to settle the debt!” The elder dressed in purple coldly snorted and got up from the boulder.

Then, with a flash, he dashed in the direction of a tall mountain. The people behind him immediately followed him. Very quickly, they all disappeared into the forest.

After Mo Wen arranged a few matters with Wang Yinru, he left the Dafang Sect. Upon returning to Hua Xia University, he explained a bit to Qin Xiaoyou and Shen Jing. After that, he immediately left again.

In the Vermillion Bird Palace Hall of the Huatian Palace, Mo Wen sat in a gazebo, while drinking tea. He seemed to be waiting for someone. Soon, a maiden, who was dressed in purple, appeared.

“Mo Wen, I thought you would not find me. Who knew that we would meet again so soon?” Chen Zi smiled sweetly as she walked up to Mo Wen.

“Do you not wish to see me?” Mo Wen smiled.

“You obviously know the answer to that. Why do you even need to ask me? I hate it when men act coy like that!” Chen Zi gracefully sat across from Mo Wen and poured herself a cup of tea.

Mo Wen was dumbfounded. He had just simply asked the question, but in Chen Zi’s eyes, he was being coy.

“Are you seeking me to discuss matters relating to the Chen clan?” Chen Zi asked.

“That’s right. Now, I really want to meet the clan leader of your Chen Clan,” Mo Wen said.

“The clan leader is my father. Why do you want to meet my father so badly? Could it be that you saw that I am a beauty and wish to find my father to ask for my hand in marriage?” Chen Zi blinked as she asked, an innocent look on her face.

“That’s not it. Although, I am quite concerned that, if your father sees that I am already so accomplished at my age and wants to forcefully give you to me, it would put me in a difficult spot.” Mo Wen shook his head in all seriousness. As he spoke, his tone was indifferent, as though he was talking about something very common.

“Humph! Not only is your cultivation rich, your skin is thick as well!” Chen Zi was dumbfounded by Mo Wen’s words.

She rolled her eyes at Mo Wen and said, “However, I am not to be given away so easily. The people who like me are already lined up all the way to the Vermillion Bird Palace Hall’s main entrance! You are about the eight hundredth person in line!”

She then added, “Right now, we must set aside the matter of your meeting my father. If this was half a month ago, maybe I could immediately bring you back to the Intentionless Sect, but now... You can’t go...” Chen Zi said plainly, while she slightly lowered her head.

“Why?” Mo Wen raised his eyebrows.

“Something big has happened to the Intentionless Sect, so it is not a suitable time to be entertaining guests. We will talk about this matter more in the future. Right now, you should be diligently practicing. We might not have much time...” Chen Zi sighed softly, but no one knew what exactly she was sighing about.

“So, something has come up. That is not a problem. I am not afraid. Come on, take me to the Intentionless Sect now.” Mo Wen curled his lips into a smile.

“Well, aren’t you heroic? No wonder you are the Ming Cult’s heir.” Chen Zi’s eyes reflected her admiration.

Before this, she had already clearly said that the Intentionless Sect was having troubles and that it was not suitable for them to head over there at the moment. Otherwise, they might invite trouble upon themselves. But, she did not imagine that Mo Wen would still want to go!

“What has this got to do with heroics? This is simply confidence.” Mo Wen smiled. It wasn’t that he was not afraid of trouble, but rather that he did not think that it would be that much trouble at all.

“What cultivation do you have now?” Chen Zi asked him seriously.

“Intermediate stage of the Embryonic Breathing realm,” Mo Wen said nonchalantly.

“As I expected, you are a genius among geniuses.” Chen Zi’s eyes showed her astonishment.

After all, a month ago, Mo Wen was just at the Qi Nucleation realm. Now, he had actually reached the intermediate stage of the Embryonic Breathing realm. People who could practice like Mo Wen were most likely rarely seen in the world today!

However, Mo Wen was the Ming Cult’s heir. Regarding the various legends of the Ming Cult, for him to have his current achievements was something she could accept as being possible.

“With your current cultivation, you do have the ability to defend yourself. Since you insist, then I will lead you to the Intentionless Sect now.” Chen Zi sighed deeply and nodded her head. Since something big was about to happen, maybe she should let Mo Wen know about some things sooner rather than later...
