77: Chapter 77: Can it be True?

“Star Wing Pavilion?!”

Upon hearing Fan Wenxiao’s words, Mo Wangchen furrowed his brow, the very foundation of Mo Pavilion had been established to resist the oppression of newcomers by the Star Wing Pavilion.

It was inevitable that the two factions would target each other, but he hadn’t expected the Star Wing Pavilion to make a move against Mo Pavilion so soon.

“What exactly happened, tell me slowly,” Mo Wangchen said.

Fan Wenxiao took a deep breath to calm his emotions, “Last night, the results of our Mo Pavilion’s competition were announced.

Just now, during the reward distribution, someone from the Star Wing Pavilion came looking for trouble, challenging us outright.

Initially, we wanted to ignore them, but they were aggressively provocative and even hurled insults and shame, demanding that we send someone out to engage in a one-on-one battle!”

“Now, Senior Sister Xu Chan has probably already entered the arena!”

“Xu Chan?” Mo Wangchen frowned, this was the person Mo Xue had brought over earlier, her cultivation was at the eighth level of the Vein Condensation Realm, placing her within the top ten of this year’s newcomers in terms of strength.

“What about Gao Yang and the others?” Mo Wangchen asked.

He had been cultivating in the Artifact Refining Tower all of last night, and if they couldn’t find him, Fan Wenxiao and the others should have sought out Gao Yang and the other senior disciples.

Fan Wenxiao furrowed his brow, “Senior Brother Niu Feng is in seclusion, trying to break into the Spirit Transformation Realm, so he’s unavailable.

Gao Yang and the others did come, but it seemed that there were Inner Court disciples at the Star Wing Pavilion, exerting pressure and refusing to let Senior Brother Gao Yang and the other senior disciples fight.

Only this year’s new disciples could go up and compete, and since Senior Sister Xu Chan claimed first place in last night’s competition, she was the strongest among us and the best choice to represent us.

However, the people from Star Wing Pavilion aren’t going to be easy to deal with…”

“Take me there!”

Mo Wangchen declared without a second thought.

Fan Wenxiao nodded, apparently not paying much attention to Zhang Hao who was following close by Mo Wangchen, assuming he was perhaps one of the senior disciples Mo Wangchen had met in the academy, just like Gao Yang and the others.

“From what you both have said, are there many powers in the Outer Court?”

While walking, Zhang Hao asked Mo Wangchen beside him.

“What?

Isn’t there any in the Inner Court?” Mo Wangchen paused, then said.

“Not to say there aren’t any, but everyone mostly sticks together; there aren’t any faction names like Star Wing Pavilion.” Zhang Hao chuckled, “In the Inner Court, from what I’ve gathered these past few days, there are three forces, with the strongest being Jun Muqing.

Although she’s only at the third level of the Spirit Transformation Realm, because she is the Headmaster’s disciple, many want to curry favor with her.”

“Below her, there’s someone called Yang Xu, who’s quite powerful, with many strong followers by his side.”

“Yang Xu?” Hearing this name, Mo Wangchen frowned.

“Do you know him?” Zhang Hao was taken aback.

It seemed like Mo Wangchen knew everyone.

First Elder Ling, Liang Yuqiu, and now Yang Xu…

“I’ve met him once.

I was dealing with Elder Ling then, and I saw Yang Xu at that time.

He seems to have a fondness for your sister, doesn’t he?”

Yang Xu’s affection for Liang Yuqiu was something Mo Wangchen had noticed back at the Alchemy Pavilion.

“You know this too?!”

Hearing Mo Wangchen’s words, Zhang Hao was completely flustered, suddenly realizing that Mo Wangchen seemed to be omniscient and omnipotent, there was nobody he didn’t know and nothing he was unaware of.

And the fact that Yang Xu liked Liang Yuqiu, Zhang Hao knew because after entering the Inner Court, Liang Yuqiu came looking for him, and while they were walking around the Inner Court, they happened to run into Yang Xu.

“Holy shit, who exactly is Pavilion Master, and this young man with the sword by his side, turns out to be an Inner Court disciple?!”

While Zhang Hao was surprised, the leading Fan Wenxiao could only be described as shocked in his heart.

From the conversation between Mo Wangchen and Zhang Hao, it wasn’t hard to discern that this young swordsman, whom Fan Wenxiao hadn’t paid much attention to before, was actually a disciple of the Inner Court, a master of the Spirit Transformation Realm?!

“Right, the Pavilion Master once said he had a disciple in the Inner Court, and at that time, we just thought he was bragging…”

Fan Wenxiao suddenly remembered something, feeling astonished, and his gaze involuntarily shifted towards Mo Wangchen and Zhang Hao.

He realized that, as Zhang Hao spoke, there was indeed something akin to reverence in his eyes towards Mo Wangchen…

My goodness, could this actually be true?

Fan Wenxiao was shocked, unable to understand how Mo Wangchen, with his capabilities, could have a disciple from the Inner Court who was a master of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

It just seemed impossible.

…

Soon, under Fan Wenxiao’s guidance, Mo Wangchen and Zhang Hao arrived at a large square, at the center of which was a small combat platform, used for the disciples to spar and practice on a daily basis.

The competition at Mo Pavilion the previous night had taken place on this very platform.

At the moment, on the platform, Xu Chan was exchanging blows with a young man.

This man, also a Eight-Layer Vein Condesation Realm cultivator, was a master from the Star Wing Pavilion.

Although their cultivation levels were comparable, under the man’s fierce offensives, Xu Chan was struggling to cope, and looked as though she could hardly hold on any longer.

Thud!

A dull sound echoed, and in the next moment, Xu Chan was sent flying towards the edge of the platform, retreating several steps before she finally came to a halt.

A trickle of fresh blood was spilling from the corner of her mouth; evidently, the man’s attack had injured Xu Chan.

“Heh heh, I heard that your Mo Pavilion had a competition last night and you won first place.

You must be the strongest in Mo Pavilion then,” the man, named Zhang Chong, chuckled disdainfully and said, “But your strength isn’t all that impressive, considering we’re both Eight-Layer Vein Condesation Realm cultivators.

You couldn’t even withstand ten moves against me.

I think Mo Pavilion should just disband.”

These words immediately ignited a fiery gaze in the eyes of all the Mo Pavilion disciples around the platform.

“What?” Zhang Chong surveyed the crowd below with disdain, “If you disagree, come up and try!”

“You!”

Xu Chan stepped forward, her face slightly flushed.

At this moment, she frowned slightly, with cold sweat on her forehead, wanting to reenter the fray.

However, suddenly, a hand landed on her shoulder, “Let me handle this.”

“Pavilion Master?!”

Everyone instinctively turned, only to see Mo Wangchen, who had, unbeknownst to them, arrived.

“So, you are the Pavilion Master of Mo Pavilion?”

Hearing everyone addressing Mo Wangchen, Zhang Chong’s gaze also fell on him.

After looking him over for a moment, he sneered contemptuously, “I thought you’d have extraordinary powers.

Given your frail appearance, it seems you’re not that strong after all, ha ha!”

At these words, from a certain direction below the platform, the Star Wing Pavilion disciples who had come along also couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Among them, only the Vice Pavilion Master Xiang Fei slightly furrowed his brow.

Squinting his eyes, he looked at Mo Wangchen, “This guy’s aura seems to have grown significantly since yesterday.

That’s really strange…”
