Three days later, after a long journey, Mo Yu and his companions finally slowed their pace over a vast, continuous mountain range.
Nalan Yanran scanned the surroundings, descending from the void, and retrieved a petal-shaped object from her storage ring. She flicked it forward, and as soon as the petal disappeared into the void, a strange spatial fluctuation arose. Monts later, a massive spatial barrier appeared before them.
"What a grand spatial barrier. Quite the craftsmanship."
Seeing the barrier, Mo Yu raised an eyebrow.
Though the Flower Sect lacked the capability to create independent realms, its use of spatial barriers to conceal its sect was nothing to scoff at.
The spatial barrier rippled gently, then opened a gap. Nalan Yanran beckoned to Mo Yu and Qing Lin, entering first. Qing Lin quickly withdrew the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python and followed with Mo Yu.
As soon as they passed through the barrier, an overwhelming floral fragrance greeted them. The scent was rich with powerful natural energy.
"No wonder the Flower Sect is one of the continent’s top two sects," Mo Yu remarked as he hovered mid-air, taking in the scene hidden behind the spatial barrier.
Before them lay an endless expanse of flower-covered mountains. The peaks were adorned with vividly colored blossoms, creating a sea of flowers that rippled in the breeze. Petals danced in the air, presenting a scene of ethereal beauty akin to a paradise.
"So beautiful..." Qing Lin murmured in awe, captivated by the enchanting sight.
As Mo Yu and Qing Lin marveled at the surroundings, a faint chi echoed from within the sea of flowers.
"The trial is about to begin! Hurry and follow carefully. If you stray, you’ll get lost in the flower sea," Nalan Yanran urged, her face slightly tense. Without hesitation, she shot toward the flower sea.
Her flight path was peculiar, tracing curves rather than moving in a straight line. Mo Yu and Qing Lin nodded at each other and swiftly followed her trajectory.
At the edge of the flower sea lood an imposing mountain range.
At the center of the range stood a towering peak, atop which rose nurous buildings. The summit was a vast, flat plaza of blue stone, adorned with floral patterns and surrounded by fragrant mist.
At this mont, several figures stood around the plaza, their gazes fixed on its center, lending the atmosphere a solemn air.
In the middle of the plaza stood a man and a woman. The woman wore a luxurious embroidered robe, its golden floral patterns shimring in the light.
Beside her stood a tall, handso man holding a fan adorned with a beautiful woman’s portrait. His features were refined, exuding a trace of wicked charm.
These two were the acting sect leader of the Flower Sect and her consort, the Yaohua Liangjun.
Opposite them stood a woman in white.
It was Yun Yun. Her cascading black hair reached her slender waist, and her serene, otherworldly beauty made her resemble a flower fairy untouched by the mundane world.
"Yun Yun, you possess the Dou Qi inheritance of the forr sect leader. Taking on two opponents at once shouldn’t be a problem. You also know the sect’s rules—partners may fight together," the robed woman remarked, her tone tinged with jealousy as she sneered. "Don’t claim the sect is bullying you. If you have a partner, you’re welco to call them too."
Several elders of the Flower Sect frowned at the sect leader’s words.
A faint smile appeared on Yun Yun’s flawless face. Shaking her head gently, she replied, "Sect Leader, you may begin. I am alone."
Before she could finish, a sharp sound of rushing wind ca from the sky. A figure streaked through the air, appearing beside Yun Yun in the blink of an eye.
Amid the astonished gazes of everyone present, the newcor grasped Yun Yun’s delicate hand, his voice ringing out confidently, causing her face to flush crimson.
"Who said you’re alone? Yun’er, am I late?"
The plaza fell silent as all eyes locked onto the man who had suddenly appeared and taken Yun Yun’s hand.
"Mo Yu?! You... how are you here?"
Blushing deeply, Yun Yun stared in disbelief at the smiling young man beside her, finally breaking her stunned silence.
"You’re in trouble. How could I not co?" Mo Yu said softly, his gaze filled with warmth as he looked at her.
"Who dares intrude on my Flower Sect? Na yourself!"
The robed woman’s eyes narrowed as she coldly demanded an explanation. Could this man be Yun Yun’s so-called partner?
"I’m Yun Yun’s partner. Isn’t it obvious?" Mo Yu replied nonchalantly, sparing her only a glance.
Hearing this, Yun Yun’s face turned redder. She gave Mo Yu a slightly reproachful look, but he paid no attention, focusing instead on the two figures before them.
"A re three-star Dou Zun dares to act so arrogantly here? Do you have a death wish?"
The Yaohua Liangjun lightly fanned himself, but his eyes glead with coldness. The closeness between Mo Yu and Yun Yun had clearly irked him.
"Presumptuous! How dare you insult the Lord of Yuan Manor!"
Qing Lin, standing gracefully behind Mo Yu, snapped coldly, her delicate face hardening at the Yaohua Liangjun’s words.
"Such beauty..."
Even the Yaohua Liangjun couldn’t help but be montarily captivated by Qing Lin, whose beauty rivaled Yun Yun’s. However, her words left him stunned. His expression shifted as he looked at Mo Yu with suspicion.
"You’re the Lord of Yuan Manor?"
The Flower Sect had heard rumors of Yuan Manor’s rise and its terrifying power. Mo Yu, its leader, was said to have defeated Seventh and Ninth Tianzun of the Hall of Souls simultaneously—a feat that struck fear across the continent.
"You are truly Mo Yu, the Lord of Yuan Manor?!" the robed woman exclaid incredulously, her face pale with disbelief.
For years, she had viewed Yun Yun as a rival, dismissing her as a backwater outsider. Yet this "outsider" had connections with one of the most prominent figures in Central Plains.
The robed woman felt as though her worldview had been turned upside down.
Mo Yu smiled coldly at their astonished faces, then directed his gaze toward the verdant mountains surrounding the Flower Sect. His voice, infused with Dou Qi, resounded across the land.
From the mont he had stepped into the Flower Sect, Mo Yu had sensed the presence of powerful, hidden auras within the mountains. These were undoubtedly the reclusive elders of the Flower Sect.
For these senior experts, as long as no Ban Sheng appeared, Mo Yu wouldn’t be afraid of them. However, since his purpose was to help Yun Yun ascend as the leader of the Flower Sect, it was crucial to either win them over to Yun Yun’s faction or at least prevent them from siding with the golden-robed woman’s camp.
"Is it really Mo Yu?"
When the na "Mo Yu" was revealed, the golden-robed woman and the Yaohua Liangjun both had drastic changes in their expressions.
The Mo Yu from the rumors was a ruthless man who had nearly killed the Seventh and Ninth Tianzuns of the Hall of Souls!
With such strength, even within the Flower Sect, aside from the two reclusive Ban Sheng elders who had been in closed-door cultivation for years, no one else could be his match.
The Flower Sect disciples surrounding the square whispered among themselves, their curious gazes fixed on Mo Yu. As the Flower Sect consisted entirely of female disciples, it was natural for them to be intrigued by a young hero of such imnse strength and high status.
"So, it’s the Lord of Yuan Manor, Mo Yu. I never expected the esteed Manor Lord to visit our Flower Sect. This is truly unexpected."
Shortly after Mo Yu’s booming voice subsided, an aged and hoarse voice slowly emanated from within the mountain range, reverberating through the air above the square.
The voice carried an ancient and profound tone. Upon hearing it, Mo Yu raised his eyebrows slightly.
Behind this elderly voice was undoubtedly another Ban Sheng expert.
Indeed, as one of the two great sects, the Flower Sect had two Ban Sheng experts, one at the mid-level and the other at the high-level, both formidable in strength.
Even with Yuan Manor’s combined forces of She Lao and Qing Zhi, they were only equivalent to two mid-level Ban Sheng, still at a disadvantage compared to the Flower Sect.
"Senior, I believe this competition is inappropriate," Mo Yu said.
"Oh? What does Manor Lord Mo find inappropriate?" The aged voice replied again.
"It’s not a problem to have a competition. However, the stakes seem unfair.
If the Acting Sect Master wins, she gets Yun Yun’s inherited Dou Qi. But if she loses, she suffers no loss at all. I think it’s unreasonable," Mo Yu said calmly.
Upon hearing this, the golden-robed woman hurriedly said, "If I lose, Yun Yun can leave the Flower Sect peacefully without further entanglents."
"If that’s all, then there’s no need for a competition," Mo Yu snorted coldly.
"How dare you! Even if you’re the Lord of Yuan Manor, do you think the Flower Sect is a place where you can co and go as you please?"
The golden-robed woman’s face darkened, and she shouted angrily, "Even if you leave the Flower Sect today, Yun Yun will not!"
"Hua Jin, since Manor Lord Mo has a request, let’s hear him out," the aged voice said again.
Hearing this, the golden-robed woman, referred to as Hua Jin, clenched her teeth reluctantly and said, "Say what you want, quickly!"
"If we lose this competition, Yun Yun’s inherited Dou Qi will be handed over to you. But if you lose, the Flower Sect’s leadership must return to Yun Yun," Mo Yu said.
"So, you’re coveting the leadership of the Flower Sect!" Hua Jin sneered coldly, her face filled with anger.
"Mo Yu, I’m not interested in becoming Sect Master. Stop causing trouble!" Yun Yun interjected anxiously.
"Granny Hua originally passed the Sect Master position to Yun Yun. You, on the other hand, shalessly snatched the Sect Master’s token. Now, Yun Yun is rely reclaiming what was given to her by Granny Hua," Mo Yu said indifferently.
"You! Don’t slander !" Hua Jin’s sharp face turned grim as she shouted angrily.
Despite her rage, Hua Jin didn’t imdiately accept the challenge. As the Acting Sect Master, she didn’t have the majority support among the elders in the sect.
If not for being raised by Granny Hua for over a decade, she likely wouldn’t have been given the Acting Sect Master position. Any mishap during this situation could jeopardize her claim to the position.
Moreover, she was fully aware of Mo Yu’s strength. The silver-eyed youth before her had defeated two Tianzuns from the Hall of Souls. Even if she joined forces with the Yaohua Liangjun, they likely wouldn’t withstand a single move from him.
Understanding Hua Jin’s hesitation, the Yaohua Liangjun glanced at Mo Yu solemnly, folding his fan slowly.
He had heard so of Mo Yu’s rumors before. Though rumors tend to exaggerate, Mo Yu’s reputation wasn’t built on air.
The Seventh and Ninth Tianzuns of the Hall of Souls were truly powerful figures. Defeating them wasn’t sothing that could be easily fabricated.
Even with his six-star Dou Zun strength, there were few in the Flower Sect who could surpass him. But Mo Yu, who had nearly slain two above six-star Dou Zun experts, wouldn’t find him any challenge.
With this realization, the Yaohua Liangjun’s expression darkened as he looked at Mo Yu. After a long pause, he finally said in a deep voice, "Regarding this competition, I’m withdrawing. Hua Jin, I suggest you do the sa.
Otherwise, you’d better find another partner."
After speaking, the Yaohua Liangjun leaped into the air, disappearing into the distance, leaving behind a stunned crowd.
The remaining onlookers stood in a daze, utterly bewildered...
