Having completed the trade, Li Chen left Box 31, feeling quite satisfied.
Just a mont ago, he was still pondering how to leave the Mo clan’s city, but unexpectedly, what he needed ca right to him.
Yet, Li Chen harbored so doubts. Although Mo Baishan was only the Young Clan Leader and a Great Yi True Immortal, could he really manage to sneak Li Chen out past that guy called Mo You?
Li Chen leaving wasn’t a big issue; the problem was that he needed to take soone along with him.
Yang Xin!
"Hopefully, that fellow is reliable."
Recalling their earlier eting, Li Chen couldn’t quite associate Mo Chenxi’s father with the word "reliable."
Rubbing his forehead, Li Chen’s gaze turned toward the distant Central Arena, where the Mo clan’s competition had officially begun.
The Mo clan seed eager to showcase their prowess. The first match was not weak at all, pitting two young Mysterious Immortals against each other.
During the battle, although the arena was isolated by a Formation, and the battle’s disturbances couldn’t be transmitted, everyone could still feel the presence of both participants.
These two Mysterious Immortals were quite young, far from a hundred years old, yet both seed to have advanced to their realm long ago, battling with great intensity.
The high-ranking immortals watched for amusent, while the low-ranking ones were enthralled, absorbing the combat experience.
After all, both sides were Miss clan prodigies. Although their cultivation wasn’t incredibly strong, one could still discern the clan’s profound thods, and even a little understanding of these thods was considered a gain for these low-rank immortals.
Mo clan was indeed a renowned great clan, and their cultivation thods were exceptionally profound, with even top-level immortal sects and great clans eyeing them covetously.
Yet... Li Chen still felt sothing was amiss.
If it were rely for juniors to observe, would the Mo clan really need to go to such great lengths to invite so many experts from all around?
For a great clan, this was exceptionally unusual.
Vaguely, Li Chen felt as if he slled a hint of conspiracy.
Especially after realizing that many Domain Realm and Soul Realm experts were present, this subtle feeling grew even stronger.
"Xinxin, where are you?" Li Chen trusted his instincts imnsely and imdiately contacted Yang Xin.
"I’m over here in the southwest direction. What’s going on? Is there sothing?" Yang Xin quickly replied to Li Chen’s ssage.
Li Chen pondered briefly and said, "I feel sothing is off. It seems like the Mo clan is plotting sothing, but I can’t guess exactly what."
"Plotting?" Yang Xin thought for a mont, then said, "Though I’ve been in closed-door cultivation for most of these years, I’ve noticed that the Mo clan seems to be secretly preparing sothing. Initially, I thought it was just for this competition, but on further reflection, their preparations seem to exceed its requirents significantly."
"Is that so..." Li Chen thought for a mont, then said, "If anything happens later, let’s first find a way to leave here, then find a place to et up. How about that?"
"Okay." Yang Xin replied, "The Mo clan’s city is vast, where shall we et then?"
"The northernmost part of the Mo clan’s city." When leaving the box, Mo Baishan had already inford him of the location of the "secret passage."
In Mo Baishan’s view, even if he told Li Chen, Li Chen shouldn’t leave secretly by himself, after all, he was waiting for his reward for bothering with his daughter!
Li Chen shared the secret passage’s location with Yang Xin, surprising her: "Is there really a secret passage out of the Mo clan’s City Defense Array? How do you know?"
"You don’t need to worry about that." Li Chen smiled awkwardly.
"Alright then, let’s agree on that."
As for their identities, it was inappropriate for them to et for the ti being, especially since Li Chen knew he was being watched.
In the following period, it was unexpectedly tranquil; nothing happened. After a morning of competitions, so immortals stayed on the spectator stand, either comprehending or discussing Taoist Magic with visiting friends, while others left the arena to wander the Mo clan’s city, and so gathered in groups at the Resting Inn Tavern to eat. The entire Mo clan’s city was bustling, noisy yet inexplicably peaceful and harmonious.
However, the more it appeared this way, the more intense the unease in Li Chen’s heart grew.
Currently, his cultivation was rely at the Earth Immortal level, and neither the Supre Treasure nor Red Moon were with him. Even though he wielded a Divine Sense of Soul Realm, his combat power was still quite limited.
If anything happened, Li Chen feared he truly might not be able to escape.
"My Space Law has a high realm, but due to cultivation limits, I can’t teleport very far in one go." Li Chen frowned slightly.
After resting, the competition resud as usual. During this ti, Mo Chenxi participated in a match against a Heavenly Immortal Peak opponent. Setting aside Li Chen’s sword technique, Mo Chenxi’s own strength was indeed extraordinary. Without even using the technique Li Chen had taught, she easily defeated her opponent.
In the spectator area, Mo Baishan looked utterly satisfied.
This was his daughter, truly worthy of her genius title. Even opponents of the sa level were easily dealt with like cutting through lons and vegetables.
The boy with just Earth Immortal cultivation dared to be so presumptuous and dream of marrying above his station; it was utterly absurd!
"This girl, truly impressive." On the other side, Li Chen also smiled,
You see, during this period, Li Chen not only taught Mo Chenxi three sword techniques but also imparted so of his cultivation experience.
Though he wasn’t essentially an immortal, he had a profound understanding of immortals. Given his realm, it was effortless to clear up so of Mo Chenxi’s doubts.
But unraveling the mystery is one thing, truly understanding it still depends on oneself.
Li Chen’s thoughts at this mont were the sa as Mo Baishan’s.
Mo Chenxi, indeed, is a rare genius.
The Mo clan has a considerable population, even though this competition only allows young talents within the clan to participate, a large number of people are involved due to the huge population base.
The competition has been ongoing for nearly ten days.
After ten days, the competition finally reached the finals stage.
Among the finalists, one person is none other than Mo Chenxi!
And the other person is a collateral genius nad Mo Fan.
Unlike Mo Chenxi, her magic treasure is a saber, while Mo Fan’s magic treasure is a longsword.
Saber versus sword!
Many Immortals, who were originally uninterested in this competition and stayed out of respect for the Mo clan, finally showed so interest upon seeing this duel.
Because these two individuals had previously demonstrated incredibly fierce strength!
More importantly, both individuals only have a Heavenly Immortal cultivation level!
Besides the two, the other Mysterious Immortal participants were all eliminated.
So people even saw that among the eliminated, there were geniuses who reached Late Mysterious Immortal.
Yet, all were defeated by these two.
"Junior Sister Chenxi." Mo Fan looked at Mo Chenxi, suddenly showing a bitter smile: "If possible, I really don’t want to be your opponent."
Mo Chenxi thought for a mont, then tilted her head and said, "Senior Brother Mo Fan, too."
"But I carry too many expectations from my elders. Unlike you, my lineage is about to completely decline, without any powerful elders, marginalized completely in the Mo clan. If no one stands up, being expelled from the Mo clan’s Inner City is only a matter of ti." Mo Fan’s smile was filled with bitterness: "I must win to show others my worth, so that my lineage, my parents and elders, can continue to stay in the Inner City."
In the Mo clan’s city, what is exclusive to Mo clan descendants is the Inner City, and those who stay in the Inner City can enjoy the treatnt reserved for Mo clan descendants, while those placed in the Outer City are left to fend for themselves.
Perhaps one day these neglected Mo clan descendants will once again show their worth and gain the qualification to return to the Inner City.
And losing the support of Mo clan resources and being expelled, then trying to explode again to make Mo clan see one’s worth, how difficult is that?
The Mo clan doesn’t lack geniuses, unless you perform more excellently than other geniuses, only then will you have an opportunity to return to the Inner City, but without a vast source of resources, how challenging is it to be more excellent than others?
Mo Chenxi’s eyes revealed a look of sympathy. Though she is the daughter of the Young Clan Leader, she is well aware of these matters.
However, knowing doesn’t necessarily an she would hold back.
Taoist Magic duel allows no rcy.
"Senior Brother Mo Fan, I think you’ve shown your worth. Even if you fail this ti, I will ask my grandfather to plead for you. But before that, you must agree to one thing." Mo Chenxi said seriously.
"Really?" Mo Fan said in surprise, "What thing?"
"Give it all you’ve got, and fight !" Mo Chenxi’s gentle voice was filled with determination at this mont.
She wants her father and her teacher to see her growth and strength.
But a too weak opponent simply cannot highlight her capabilities.
Yet in Mo Chenxi’s eyes, Mo Fan is clearly a truly capable opponent!
"Give it all?" Mo Fan’s eyes trembled: "You saw through it?"
Mo Chenxi nodded, saying nothing.
In fact, among the observers, many with profound cultivation, including Li Chen, saw through it.
This Mo Fan was hiding his strength.
"Junior Sister Chenxi, will you really help ?" Mo Fan sighed softly, asking again, because this matter was extrely important to him.
"Yes!" Mo Chenxi set her face, uttering a word.
Mo Fan tightly gripped the longsword in his hand: "Alright! Then Junior Sister, you must be careful!"
From Mo Fan’s body, a surge of cultivation far exceeding Heavenly Immortal suddenly erupted.
Many audience mbers felt this aura and were slightly startled.
Because Mo Fan’s cultivation at this mont is... Mysterious Immortal Peak!
