A quarter of an hour later, Wen Mo finally relaxed. He had so understanding of the preciousness of the Elental Spiritual Beast, and if that person had really acted to snatch it, he might not have been able to keep it.
After tidying up his sowhat disheveled outfit, Wen Mo’s face lit up with a gentle smile. Just as he was about to move forward, a clear, cold voice sounded, shattering his good mood.
"Senior Brother, where have you been?"
Wen Mo’s face froze, quickly regaining composure, and turned his head, saying, "Ah, it’s Junior Sister Ning. I’ve spent too much ti cultivating, so I went out for a breath of fresh air."
With a cold, ancient gaze, Ning Shuang glanced at Wen Mo, then spoke with implied aning, "Elder Lan is from the Lan Family and also your master. You must not disappoint Elder Lan!"
"Naturally, my master has treated with such care. I certainly won’t let him down in this assessnt," Wen Mo replied with a smile.
"Let’s hope so."
Watching Ning Shuang’s graceful figure vanish before him, Wen Mo’s face was covered in frost: "I must find an opportunity to deal with her."
......
Fire Hall, within a certain cave mansion
Clusters of Nanming Leaving Fire floated in the cave mansion. The young man who had previously t with Wen Mo was now respectfully reporting to a small, elderly man.
"Water Elf? Are you sure you weren’t mistaken?" The thin and small Elder Hou Weifeng of the Fire Hall asked in surprise.
"Disciple can guarantee, it is definitely a Water Elf, not one of those inferior Lower Realm Elves. The Water Elf Wen Mo holds contains power far surpassing those from the Lower Realm, and its whole body is pure Spiritual Energy." The young man assured.
"Interesting. Seems the Zi family’s people underestimated that kid’s talent." Hou Weifeng chuckled lightly.
"Master, what should we do?" The young man asked cautiously.
Hou Weifeng’s face turned cold, and with a sudden swipe, the youth was knocked to the corner.
"You’re my disciple, Hou Weifeng. Is your intention to support the Zi family?"
"I wouldn’t dare, disciple wouldn’t dare."
Watching the young man repeatedly kowtow and beg for rcy, Hou Weifeng sneered, "As long as you don’t dare. Pass the ssage to that fellow Zi Ao, and whatever plans the Zi family has is none of our business."
"Also, send the image of your transaction with Wen Mo to Lan Zetian, as a favor."
"Yes, Master."
Hou Weifeng looked at the obedient young man with satisfaction, gathering a cluster of Nanming Leaving Fire in the cave mansion and condensing it into a Fire Crystal, saying, "Don’t say I’m treating you poorly. This Fire Crystal is enough for your cultivation to advance further, and if lucky, you might even enter the Inner Sect."
"Thank you, Master."
"Alright, go about your business."
After watching his foolish disciple leave, Hou Weifeng snorted coldly, "The Zi family is really arrogant, but unfortunately, those people are not easy to ss with. This ti, they might suffer a great loss."
...
The usually peaceful Five Elents Sect was now surging with hidden currents.
Zi Family
Zi Ao was reporting excitedly to his Golden Immortal elder, Zi Xing.
"Water Elf?" Zi Xing frowned.
At the level of a Golden Immortal, a Water Elf, an extinct Spiritual Beast for countless years, didn’t stir any ripples in his heart, as its highest cultivation once was only Golden Immortal.
Although such Spiritual Beasts have many benefits for cultivators practicing the Five Elents Dao, they’re only useful for those below Golden and Heavenly Immortal.
"Indeed, it’s my friend Hou Weifeng who personally investigated," Zi Ao replied respectfully.
"Hou Weifeng?" Zi Xing sneered coldly, "Do you know what kind of person Hou Weifeng is? Good thing, this old thing is even older than . If not for his close relationship with the current Sect Master, he’d have died during so mission a long ti ago."
Zi Ao was shocked, not daring to hide any longer, explaining, "Three thousand years ago, Hou Weifeng asked for so spiritual vegetables aged a hundred thousand years, owing a favor."
"I see. Though that old thing is rather cunning, he’s reliable when it cos to repaying favors." Zi Xing nodded knowingly.
"Send soone to place an order for Water Elf at the Heart of All Things. No, the Heart of All Things doesn’t have such Spiritual Beasts. Contact the other four halls, spread news of the Water Elf, and then jointly pressure the Spiritual Beast Garden."
"Rember, it’s the Spiritual Beast Garden, not just Zone Three Garden." Zi Xing advised.
"Why? If we pressure the entire Spiritual Beast Garden, it would be much more intense." Zi Ao questioned.
Zi Xing looked at Zi Ao disdainfully, truly not understanding how such a thing could be of his direct bloodline, and said sternly, "Just do as I say, no need for all this nonsense!"
"Yes, Elder."
...
The reactions of the other four halls were just as Zi Xing predicted, even the Jin Hall, initially least concerned, convened a secret council upon hearing of the Five Elents Elves’ existence.
As the elders of each hall maneuvered, the previously calm Five Elents Sect began to surge with hidden currents, though Chen Jiuge was unaware of all this.
Zone Three Garden
Gold, wood, water, fire, earth, five Five Elents Elves of different colors were arranged in a circle according to the mutual generation and restraint of the Five Elents.
Chen Jiuge took out a white Array Plate, and with a slight motion, countless array patterns extended from the feet of the Five Elents Elves, a beam of light shot straight into the sky.
"Is this the forr Five Elents Rotating Array?" Chen Jiuge exclaid in astonishnt, even though they were rely Five Elents Elves at the twentieth layer of True Immortal, their formation’s explosive power was enough to obliterate a Little Heavenly Immortal, and if the number of Five Elents Elves were increased, could it also match a Heavenly Immortal?
"How is its power so strong?" Shuibing, observing, also had eyes filled with disbelief.
