Lee Xun's sudden appearance added another blaze to the already bustling Wu'an City. The news of the An and Xu families suffering at Ansheng Street had spread like wildfire in a short period of time. If he could scare off two Human Rank Warriors with a single sentence, then the strength and identity of the other party could be easily imagined. At that time, there had been a lot of people present. Even if the An and Xu families had wanted to keep it a secret, they were unable to do so.
Mo Family also received the news right away. At this moment, in a courtyard within the Mo Family, a purple-robed elderly man came to the center of the courtyard, and after continuously slapping five times on the fake boulder in the middle of the courtyard, there was a spot where the fake rock slowly fell and in the end, a tunnel was revealed. The elderly man hurriedly walked in.
When he reached the end of the tunnel, he clapped three more times. A secret door opened and a secret room appeared. The secret room was dark, but Mo Sheng Valley knew that there was an ancestor and an expert of Earth Rank Peak inside. However, in the eyes of outsiders, this person had been dead for more than a hundred years.
"Shenggu greets the ancestor." As soon as he entered the secret room, he knelt down and kowtowed three times in respect.
"Get up." The voice was very old, but it was filled with vigor.
"Ancestor, there is no way for the Rebirth Valley to govern the Family. After taking over the Mo Family for several decades, not only was it unable to accomplish anything, it was instead suppressed by the An Family. I feel extremely ashamed." Silence Valley appeared to be helpless.
"You don't have to worry about it. The weakness of your Mo Family is not something that you can handle alone. However, as long as I live, my Mo Family will not be defeated. Has any good seedlings appeared in the clan in recent years? "
"Patriarch Meng bless me, a genius called Mo Shaocong appeared in the Mo Family these few years. According to Patriarch's instructions, after I found out, I secretly sent him to the peak of the mountain. Grandmaster Tian Yuan accepted him."
Suddenly, two bright lights flashed. Mo Family Grandmaster said excitedly, "Did Tian Yuan really accept him?"
He replied, "Yes, I dare not lie to the Grandmaster."
"Ha ha-ha ha, good. With that old guy Tian Yuan guiding me, even if I die, my Mo Family will increase by one more Earth Rank Expert soon. "
"Ancestor, are you unable to break through to the Heaven Rank?"
"Sigh, when have I ever thought about it? However, breaking through to the Heaven Rank was easier said than done. I meditated on it for decades, but I still didn't have a clue. That year, Tian Yuan was also forced to fight a Earth Rank Peak Demonic Beast by chance. Under the circumstances where he was bound to die, he actually managed to break through. If there is a successor within the clan, I can still give it my all and study in this life or death situation. But, sigh. " Mo Family Ancestor seemed to have an endless sigh.
"Ancestor, I have another matter to ask of you."
"Speak."
"Tomorrow, I will set up a banquet for the one hundred years old in the clan, but today, a Earth Rank Expert suddenly appeared in the city, he had a small misunderstanding with the An clan's Xu family, so I wanted to ask for the ancestor to step in, and see if he can come tomorrow to my Mo Family to support our cause."
"Oh? If I can get him to come tomorrow, perhaps he might be able to accumulate some popularity for my Mo Family. Leave this matter to me, tell me where he resides. "
"..."
At midnight, Lee Xun was practicing his sword skills in the small courtyard he rented, while he entered into the Spatial Ring to cultivate. Lei Jingjing could not cultivate after swallowing the Origin Sealing Pearl during the day, so she naturally had to make good use of it during the night. However, if they were cultivating in the outside world and were afraid of being discovered, they would have no choice but to hide in the Spatial Ring s.
Suddenly, Lee Xun felt a hidden Qi rushing towards him from far away. Although it was concealed extremely well, it could not hide from the current Lee Xun. Lee Xun thought, it couldn't be that the An and Xia Clans had sent someone to seek revenge. He stopped practicing his sword skills and waited for that person to come.
"Hehe, friend, you have such strong spiritual sense. You probably noticed me from afar. Let me introduce myself, Mo Qian. "
"I am Lee Xun. You are from the Mo Family? " Seeing that the other party was being so courteous, Lee Xun cupped his hands and greeted him respectfully. He had originally thought that they were either members of the An or Xu families, but he hadn't thought that they were people of the Mo Family.
"Eh? Why are you so young? It seems like you didn't deliberately maintain your young appearance." Mo Qian was shocked.
"Hehe, Senior can see that this kid is indeed that age." Lee Xun did not hide anything from him. Towards an expert like Mo Qian, there was nothing much to hide.
"Good boy." I am not dreaming today, are I? You reached the Earth Rank Peak at such a young age? " Seeing Lee Xun admitting it, Mo Qian could not believe it.
"Senior, it's normal if you don't believe me. I wonder if Senior is willing to accompany me to the outside of the city to train? " Lee Xun did not say these words to prove anything in front of Mo Qian, but he was truly happy to see such a powerful opponent.
"Alright, come with me." He had to bitterly cultivate for nearly two hundred years before he was able to reach Earth Rank Peak, but this brat in front of him had actually managed to reach Earth Rank Peak in his early twenties. If it's true, then he had truly lived up to such an age for nothing.
After following Mo Qian to a forest located about fifteen kilometers west of the city, Mo Qian said, "This place is far enough and is quiet enough. No one will notice if they disturb us."
"Alright." Lee Xun replied as the Sword of the Sword Spirit King appeared in his hands at the same time.
"Good sword." I really did not expect that such a powerful and oppressive Soul Sword could appear in the Earth Rank Expert. "But it doesn't seem like it." Although Mo Qian had revealed his own Soul Sword at the same time, he didn't have the intention to take action immediately.
Suddenly, a black light flashed and a tanned man appeared beside Mo Qian.
"Hei Zi, what do you think about his sword?"
"Powerful." The tanned man spoke with a golden tone.
"Lee Xun, this is my Spiritual Beast Companion, Hei Zi. Its original form is a Giant Strength Spiritual Elephant."
"Hello." Lee Xun nodded at Hei Zi.
"Blackie, move back a bit." After Hei Zi also nodded towards Lee Xun, Mo Qian made the currently intermediate stage Human Rank's Hei Zi move back a little. A battle between Earth Rank Peak experts was not something that a person like him could participate in.
"Senior, it has begun."
When Hei Zi retreated to stand at his original position, Lee Xun waved his Sword of the Sword Spirit King to draw a strange pattern. At the same time, he shot out waves after waves of platinum sword Qi.
Mo Qian did not show any weakness, he even used the Platinum Sword Qi, at the same time forming hand seals. Dozens of platinum colored sword Qis clashed in the air. "Boom boom boom..." Explosions could be heard incessantly.
Before the explosion could stop, another two roars rang out. One was "Jingang Spirit Ape", and the other was the larger "Energetic Spirit Elephant".
BOOM!
The Jingang Spirit Ape and Energetic Spirit Elephant clashed, like two strong warriors wrestling with each other, the Jingang Spirit Ape's thick and powerful hands grabbed onto the two huge tusks of the Energetic Spirit Elephant, while the Energetic Spirit Elephant used a ten-meter-long tusk to wrap around the Jingang Spirit Ape's body.
For a moment, the collision between two Earth Elemental Power s unfolded. This was a simple competition of Elemental Power s. Everyone was competing in terms of comprehension and control over the Earth Elemental Power.
"Roar ?"
The Jingang Spirit Ape's roars were rough and violent, and the Energetic Elephant's low and deep roars were similar to the sound of a steamer's whistle. The ground where the two were at gradually collapsed, forming a faint aura.
"Roar!"
This time, it was the Jingang Spirit Ape that roared alone, like a god of victory. It slowly lifted up the Energetic Image, and in the process, the long trunk unwillingly let go.
The competition on both sides' Elemental Power had lasted less than two minutes, but the victor had already been decided. While it seemed calm and tranquil, only people of their level knew the secrets behind it.
"Lee Xun, I've lost." Although Mo Qian was unwilling, he had indeed lost. The Energetic Spirit Elephant, which was known for its strength, did not have any advantage in terms of strength. However, when his elephant nose used its strength, it was like a rubber wrapped around a rock, not having any effect at all. At a level like theirs, Mo Qian was inferior to him in terms of comprehension. Once a gap existed in their comprehension, it would be very difficult to make up for the difference in their control.
The two gigantic Spiritual Beast formed from Earth Elemental Power disappeared at the same time. Mo Qian kept his Soul Sword and Lee Xun retracted his Sword of the Sword Spirit King as well.
"Lee Xun, let's go to another place to chat. I'm afraid it won't be quiet here for long."
Although the two hadn't competed for a long time, everyone within a radius of twenty li could feel the aura and vibrations from the two. This news would definitely spread to the ears of the various forces near the Wu'an City very quickly, so naturally, what followed would be their investigations.
In a pavilion atop a green mountain, an old man and a young man were discussing something. The two people were Lee Xun and Mo Qian.
"Senior, the competition hasn't started for long, why did you admit defeat?"
"Hehe, if we continue competing, I'm afraid I'll leave a shadow in my heart. I'm so old, if I lose too badly against you, I won't even be able to sleep."
Lee Xun smiled. In the competition just now, Lee Xun had already realised that Mo Qian's control of the Earth Elemental Power was superior to his. Furthermore, Lee Xun did not think that Mo Qian only knew this ultimate move.
"Lee Xun, I'm guessing that the most powerful thing you have right now are your sword moves." Mo Qian stroked his beard, and looked at Lee Xun with squinted eyes, as if he was extremely confident.
Lee Xun was a little embarrassed. This old fellow's eyesight was truly poisonous, he had only released a few sword Qis to help him see through the situation.
"Senior has not truly competed with me in sword moves yet, why would you say so?"
"Hehe, there are two reasons. First, it's your sword, and second, it's your casual method of swinging it. This old man has a good friend who is much stronger than me. Just now, watching you wave your sword made me feel as if I was watching him wave it.
"May I know who is senior's friend?"
"He is the Heaven Rank Rankers, also known as the 'Grandmaster of Heaven Origin Sect'. In the future, if you want to compete in sword techniques, you can look for him. Just say that I, Mo Qian, let you go.
"Thank you, senior." To be able to get to know the Heaven Rank Rankers, Lee Xun was naturally happy. His strength had grown too fast, and fighting the Earth Rank Expert was only a matter of tempering himself, he was unable to unleash it. However, if he directly went to Heaven Rank Rankers for a competition, firstly, he did not know where to go, and secondly, it was not safe.
"I came to find you today because I have something to discuss with you. If you really are willing to be my friend, then promise me. " Mo Qian was not polite.
"Senior, please speak."
"The days of my Mo Family are not so good right now. Geniuses have withered in the past hundred years, and only I, an old fogey, can support my future. However, in the eyes of outsiders, I have already been dead for more than a hundred years, so it would be inconvenient for me to show myself unless I had to. Tomorrow is the 100th birthday celebration of that child from Rebirth Valley. If it's convenient for you, I have a gift here that I hope you can help me deliver. If you are happy, you can just stay and eat. If you have anything to do, you can just say a few words and leave. "
Lee Xun had heard the inklings, and wanted to show his face at tomorrow's birthday banquet. As for the relationship between him and Mo Family, he would let the outsiders guess, the more indistinct the relationship was, the better.
"Hehe, it's nothing."
Mo Qian took out a jade case and handed it over to Lee Xun: "There are two Gold rank Fiery Oranges inside, which can slightly increase the success rate of Human Rank practitioners breaking through Earth Rank. If it's used by fire attribute physiques, the effect would be better."
Lee Xun placed the jade box inside the Spatial Ring, and understood that Mo Qian must have kept this for many years. It was just that no one had been able to use the Mo Family for a long time, and now that he had borrowed it, it could actually be used for a while. Gold rank Fiery Oranges were useless to Lee Xun, but this was definitely a gift that only the Earth Rank Expert could give.
"Senior, I already understand what you mean. I will definitely not allow the guests here to underestimate Mo Family tomorrow."
"Hehe, Lee Xun, I will thank you first. With you here tomorrow, I think I can leave the Mo Family with ease. "
"Senior wants to leave the Mo Family?"
"Yes." You should also understand that since we have reached such a level of cultivation, which one of us doesn't wish to advance in our cultivation? I meditated for decades, but could not find any clues. Now that I've met you, I feel even more like I've wasted my life just because I'm old. Now that you are willing to perform for my Mo Family, I can make up my mind to once again go out and try my luck. " Mo Qian was speaking the truth. Lee Xun was so young, but his strength was actually above his. How could he not have any thoughts in his heart? At this moment, he wanted to break through the Heaven Rank more than ever. He had always been tasked with protecting his family, and this imperceptibly caused him to be shackled. With this invisible shackle, the difficulty of breaking through Heaven Rank increased yet again.
"Then, I will first wish senior that you have achieved your wish as soon as possible." Does senior know of any other experts within the Wu'an City? "
"East of the city, there's the One Wu Yuan Sword Sect. The Sect Leader Pei Shiji is an expert in Earth Rank Peak, but you don't need to look for him. I will spar with him once every three years. Also, he's the same as me, after dozens of years, his cultivation level hasn't improved at all. From what I have observed of you, under the effects of Heaven Rank, it would be difficult for you to find an opponent. "
Seeing that Mo Qian had the intention to offer guidance, Lee Xun immediately cupped his hands and said: "Please offer me your guidance, senior."
