Chapter 543: Decisive

It was a youth, around thirty years old. It was Wu Feng, the Purple Qi Pavilion genius who had met Mo Wen once before. He was listed as one of the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension’s Four Geniuses along with Yin Banshuang.
“Wu Feng, you can’t...”
“Wu Feng, come back...”
The youth in white acting in such a way immediately caused the expressions of the others to change. The three elders were all Purple Qi Pavilion elders. Not only was their cultivation rich, but they were also respected. Their cultivations were all at the beginning stage Golden Elixir realm.
Wu Feng, on the other hand, was the Purple Qi Pavilion’s number one genius. In the future, he was highly likely to become one of the three huge figures in the Purple Qi Pavilion. How could they let anything happen to such a person? Even the three elders together would most probably not be as precious as he was.
For Wu Feng to stay back alone and hold them off was impossible. The three Purple Qi Pavilion elders would not wish to leave him alone, and even if they truly ignored their emotions and left him in order to escape, they would be punished by the pavilion leader when they returned to the sect.
“Sect elder brother, if you aren’t going, I’m not going.”
Meng Tiantian tried to struggle free from the grasp of the elder in purple. However, with her cultivation, how could free herself from the hands of a Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner? The Purple Qi Pavilion elder who was holding her wouldn’t let her add to their troubles.
“Elders, stop hesitating. I have a spiritual weapon in my hand. Even if I encounter an intermediate stage seventh rank monstrous beast, I can hold it off for a while. It still takes 15 minutes to reach the level entrance from here. If you don’t leave now, none of us will be able to leave later,” Wu Feng said anxiously.
In fact, his decision to stay behind was not without reason. Even though the three elders were highly respected, their combat ability was weaker than his. Furthermore, he was the only one with a spiritual weapon among the five of them. Him staying behind might lead to their survival. Otherwise, if the others stayed behind, they would surely die.
Also, if he could not hold the monstrous beasts back for long, the monstrous beasts would still continue chasing them. For the others, it would have been no help at all.
“Elder Gongyang Cheng, please send Tiantian to a safe place. The two of us will stay back and help Wu Feng.”
The other two elders turned around and stopped running. Together with Wu Feng, they blocked the way.
“This...” The elder in purple called Gongyang Cheng had not anticipated that such a situation would occur. Were they asking him to escape alone? How would he be able to face his colleagues in the sect in the future?
He clearly knew how powerful the Snow Leopard King was. Even among the intermediate stage seventh rank monstrous beasts, it was considered one of the top. Even if Pavilion Leader Ye Rong appeared here, she would not necessarily be more powerful than the Snow Leopard King.
Even Wu Feng and the two elders joining forces would not necessarily be able to block the Snow Leopard King. Moreover, the Snow Leopard King had four beginning stage seventh rank monstrous beasts and a large pack of sixth rank monstrous beasts beside it. Once one was caught in such a line-up, it was too difficult to even slaughter one’s way out.
“Old man Gongyang, if you hesitate any longer, we will die in vain. Don’t forget Tiantian’s status. She cannot die here.”
Seeing that Gongyang Cheng was not willing to go, the other three instantly got anxious. If they delayed any longer, none of them could escape.
Right now, Wu Feng was already going against the Snow Leopard King. However, with just one exchange, he had been beaten up by the Snow Leopard King to the point of coughing blood. Luckily, he had a grand seal spiritual weapon in his hands. It could attack and defend at the same time, narrowly blocking a few of the Snow Leopard King’s attacks.
The other two elders of the Purple Qi Pavilion also did not have time for talking nonsense. They were each blocking two beginning stage seventh rank monstrous beasts.
Under normal circumstances, monstrous beasts of the same rank were stronger than human ancient martial art practitioners. A beginning stage seventh rank monstrous beast would at least be stronger by a level compared to a normal beginning stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner, unless they encountered a genius like Yin Banshuang.
It would be difficult for the two elders of the Purple Qi Pavilion to face a beginning stage seventh rank monstrous beast, let alone taking on two each as they were doing now. In a short while, they were in danger and began to panic.
Gongyang Cheng ground his teeth, then finding his resolve, ran for his life. He knew that even if he entered the battle again, aside from running to his death, he would most likely not be able to change the end result. It was okay for an old bag of bones like him, but Meng Tiantian could not die here.
Gongyang Cheng ran furiously the whole way. Before he had run more than a few kilometers, he noticed there were people heading towards them. In such a huge Beast Lair, the chances of encountering human ancient martial art practitioners were very slim, even though there were many human ancient martial art practitioners who had entered the Tan Zi Beast Lair.
“From the looks of it, you seemed to not be doing so well.” Mo Wen was walking in mid-air as though he was casually taking a stroll. But every step he took covered a distance of hundreds of feet. He had actually left Yin Banshuang behind.
“May I ask who you are?” Gongyang Cheng’s eyes flashed with a look of joy when he saw someone coming. If they encountered a group of human ancient martial art practitioners, they would most probably be able to solve their crisis. After all, human ancient martial art practitioners that could reach the second level would most likely not be ordinary.
Of course, after living so many years, Gongyang Cheng would not just trust anyone he met. In the Beast Lair, it was common for dog-eat-dog situations to occur. Sometimes, encountering human ancient martial art practitioners was not necessarily a good thing.
So, when they were a few hundred meters away, he stopped, not wanting to get too close to Mo Wen.
“I am Mo Wen,” he said plainly.
At a distance of a few hundred meters, right now Gongyang Cheng finally saw Mo Wen’s appearance clearly. Upon seeing that it was actually a youth, and such a young one at that, he was instantly shocked. How could such a young person reach the second level? And he was walking in the air! Could it be that he was a Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner?
Gongyang Cheng immediately felt that something was off. Since when had such a heaven-defying talent appeared in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension? It was impossible for even the most famous Four Youth Geniuses to be as young as this youth.
“It’s you! “Meng Tiantian, who was struggling and crying under the arm of Gongyang Cheng, stopped crying all of a sudden. She looked wide-eyed at Mo Wen, recognizing him in an instant. She blinked a few times and her tears slid along her eyelids.
“Please save my sect elder brother...I beg of you...” As though she had found a savior, before she even knew what she was doing, Meng Tiantian started begging. It wasn’t that she believed that Mo Wen was incredible, rather it was like a drowning person trying to grab hold of the last blade of grass.
Whoosh! With a sound of parting air, another silhouette appeared beside Mo Wen. It was Yin Banshuang who had followed over somewhat impatiently.
Although she really didn’t want to meddle in the affairs of the Purple Qi Pavilion, at this moment she had no choice. In order to obtain the Vital Qi, she needed to borrow Mo Wen’s strength. It was not a good time to part on differences with him.
“Yin Banshuang...!” Gongyang Cheng had never expected that another unimaginable person would appear. He did not recognize the youth, but how could he not recognize the famous Yin Banshuang?
Yin Banshuang crossed her arms and lowered her eyebrows. She was not interested in what Gongyang Cheng meant. She was such a madwoman that she would even treat an elder of the Purple Qi Pavilion like that.
“Miss Yin, we have met with a crisis. Please lend us a hand. The Purple Qi Pavilion will surely reward you handsomely.” Gongyang Cheng couldn’t worry about Yin Banshuang’s attitude? As long as she was willing to help them, he would not mind her even if she was ruder. He had lost all hope but now, seeing Yin Banshuang and this unknown youth, hope once again welled up inside him.
He was not sure about the youth, but it was impossible for him not to know Yin Banshuang’s ability. If she joined forces with Wu Feng, they absolutely could hold off the Snow Leopard King. The two of them were geniuses among geniuses, and they also had spiritual weapons in their hands.
The youth who was far too young and could fly in mid-air would at least be of the beginning stage Golden Elixir realm. Holding off a beginning stage seventh rank monstrous beast should not be a problem for him. With him, it was truly possible for them to hold off the Snow Leopard King.
“I’m not interested.” Yin Banshuang would not give Gongyang Cheng any countenance. She crossed her arms and turned her head to look away.
“Miss Yin...” Gongyang Cheng had not expected that Yin Banshuang would reject him so decisively. His face subconsciously twitched a few times. If Yin Banshuang refused to help, then the result would most likely not change. Anyone else would not have rejected the Purple Qi Pavilion. Only Yin Banshuang was the exception.
If she didn’t agree to help, Gongyang Cheng would basically not have any other choice. No matter how famous the Purple Qi Pavilion was, it could not persuade the chief disciple of the Five Beasts Sect.
“Big brother, I beg you... please help us...” Meng Tiantian looked at Mo Wen with a pitiful look. She was very clever not to beg Yin Banshuang, instead begging Mo Wen.
“What’s in it for me in helping you escape this crisis?” Mo Wen said as he looked at the Purple Qi Pavilion elder with a smile, crossing his arms and touching his chin. Although the reason he had come over was to help the group from the Purple Qi Pavilion, if he could also benefit from it, he would not too polite to do so.
These Inner world ancient martial art practitioner sects were all full of riches. It was not even necessary to mention the inheritance of ancient sects like the Purple Qi Pavilion.
“Whatever request you have, please just state it, sir.” Seeing that there was hope, Gongyang Cheng simply had to let Mo Wen set his price.
“A hundred spiritual stones,” Mo Wen simply said.
Anyone would consider spiritual stones to be valuable and would not want to lose them. Although the Purple Qi Pavilion would certainly have even better items, the decision to give them away would certainly not be up to an elder.
Although Mo Wen had obtained quite a few spiritual stones from Intentionless Sect, they were far from enough. Even for utilizing spiritual weapons, the number of spiritual stones needed was not small. Mo Wen also wanted the spiritual stones for other purposes.
If he used a spiritual weapon, a spiritual stone could cause the flying dagger spiritual weapon to attack three times. The flying dagger spiritual weapon was just a low-grade spiritual weapon. If it was a medium grade spiritual weapon, it would most likely only be able to launch two attacks.
In the future, he would meet stronger enemies and would use spiritual weapons more often. He would most likely then have not enough spiritual stones to use.
Gongyang Cheng drew in a cold breath upon hearing Mo Wen’s demands. A hundred spiritual stones was an astronomical figure. He could not make such a decision on behalf of the sect for a hundred spiritual stones.
Yin Banshuang stared at Mo Wen, speechless. Initially, she thought that Mo Wen had some relationship with the Purple Qi Pavillion, or just as he said, he was a saint and that being kind to others would bring grace to himself. Judging from the current situation though, he was a brat who was happy to loot a burning house!
“Big brother, I will give you two hundred spiritual stones. Please save us!” Meng Tiantian spoke out at this moment. On one hand, she was putting on a miserable, pitiful look, on the other, she doubled the reward.
Gongyang Cheng felt his heart ache! How could they have produced such a prodigal brat? However, since she had said so, he did not need to say anymore. It was because he would be wasting his spittle. Really only this brat could make such a decision.
“Decisive! Big brother likes it!” Mo Wen gave Meng Tiantian a huge thumbs up, then he tapped Yin Banshuang’s shoulder, saying, “Stop looking. It’s time for work.”
