C348 The Secret of the Ranking Tower!(1)

"You are not worthy!"

When Moh Lunhui uttered these words, they resonated with such authority that it was like a bolt of lightning to those who heard them. A mere Reality Condensing Stage martial artist daring to say that an expert at the Martial King level was unworthy of being his mentor was beyond belief. Yet, it was happening right before their eyes.

Time and again, the actions of Moh Lunhui and Woo Zhengyang left everyone in awe, pushing the boundaries of their astonishment. Just when they thought they had seen it all, something even more shocking unfolded.

Moh Lunhui turned down an opportunity that could have catapulted him to greatness, and he did it in such a bold manner. Wasn't this akin to courting disaster?

After the initial shock, many began to feel a sense of joy. They had thought revenge was out of reach, but now it seemed Moh Lunhui was digging his own grave. Surely, a Martial King expert could easily eliminate him, and there was no way he could survive.

To everyone's surprise, the expert hovering in mid-air didn't react with anger or humiliation. Instead, he chuckled and said, "Interesting. If you think I'm not worthy to be your mentor, then let's consider ourselves equals. If you're willing, you can directly take the position of an inner elder at the Heavenly Martial Sect. Once you achieve the Martial King level, you'll be a grand elder like me!"

This left everyone dumbfounded. They never expected that after Moh Lunhui had so blatantly insulted the Martial King expert, the expert wouldn't be angry. Instead, he offered to treat Moh Lunhui as an equal and even promised him a position as an inner elder at the Heavenly Martial Sect. It was known that the inner elders were at the Reality Condensing Stage, while Moh Lunhui was only at the Reality Condensing Stage.

Everyone felt like they were dreaming. Although this year's Martial Dao Conference had already seemed surreal, this scene was even more bizarre.

What was even stranger was that, in the face of the Martial King's compromise, Moh Lunhui merely smiled slightly and gave the Martial King a meaningful look. "I know what you're planning. If you truly wish to advance further, let me leave peacefully today. In the future, I will bring you a great opportunity. Otherwise..."

Moh Lunhui didn't finish his sentence, but the threat was clear.

Everyone was beyond shocked—a martial artist threatening a Martial King? What was happening to the world?

"You've got some nerve, kid. Do you think just because you've had some lucky encounter, you can do whatever you want?" The Martial King, hovering in mid-air, couldn't maintain his composure as Moh Lunhui openly threatened him in front of so many people. His voice was cold.

"It seems you're not willing to let this go..." Moh Lunhui shook his head with a light sigh, taking out a few crystal-clear stones from his hand.

Spirit crystals!

Originating from spirit springs and veins, these were even more valuable than Heavenly Essence Stones!

Seeing Moh Lunhui take out spirit crystals, the elders of the Heavenly Martial Academy from Dongjue Country all changed their expressions.

Recently, the protective array of the Heavenly Martial Academy in Dongjue Country inexplicably failed, and the spirit crystals used in the array disappeared without a trace. Despite their investigations, they couldn't find out who was responsible. In the end, they had no choice but to use their own savings to repair the protective array.

Now, with a spirit crystal in Moh Lunhui's hand, doubts began to surface among the onlookers. Unlike the elders, the vice principal of the Heavenly Martial Academy seemed unfazed. Once he realized that the person who had threatened him before was Moh Lunhui, he guessed who had taken those spirit crystals. Even the yellow talisman Moh Lunhui just used originally belonged to him, taken by the powerful figure Moh Lunhui had impersonated.

While everyone was lost in their thoughts, Moh Lunhui crushed the spirit crystal in his hand. Tiny shards scattered to the ground, forming a mysterious pattern.

"A teleportation array! This is bad..." A Martial King expert suddenly exclaimed, swiftly flying toward Moh Lunhui. Despite the expert's speed, Moh Lunhui's setup was faster. Just halfway there, the array activated, and a bright white light flashed. In an instant, Moh Lunhui was gone!

The Martial King expert halted, his face darkening as he stood where Moh Lunhui had been. After a few moments of concentration, he took off again, heading south of Heavenly Martial City...

It was only then that most people realized Moh Lunhui had truly escaped, using spirit crystals to carve a teleportation array right under the nose of a Martial King expert.

Everyone was too preoccupied to question how Moh Lunhui, a mere martial artist, managed to set up a teleportation array that was thought to be lost to time. He had already performed so many miracles that people had grown accustomed to it.

"Hey, where's Woo Zhengyang?"

After Moh Lunhui and the Martial King expert left, it dawned on everyone that Woo Zhengyang, who had also achieved many wonders in the Heavenly Martial Realm, was missing. The golden platform in front of the Ranking Tower was completely empty, with no sign of him.

"Did anyone see where Woo Zhengyang went?"

"I think I saw him enter the Ranking Tower..."

"How is that possible? The Ranking Tower hasn't been opened in who knows how long."

"I saw it too; he definitely walked into the Ranking Tower..."

"What's going on? Is even the Ranking Tower giving special treatment to such a talented individual?"
