Chapter 176: Chapter 167 Pill Sect

As Mo Wangchen and the Royal Family departed, Yun Chu Academy soon returned to its former tranquility.

At the same time, however, the entirety of Yun Country was enveloped in a heavy atmosphere.

News of the decisive battle between Mo Wangchen and Jun Muqing spread across Yun Country like a hurricane. The outcome had surprised everyone—Mo Wangchen emerged victorious!

"Mo Wangchen won? How is that possible?"

"I heard that the battle that day was witnessed by powerful figures from all over Yun Country, and the scene must have been extraordinary. I really regret not going to watch that fight!"

A middle-aged man said, "Yes! I also heard that Jun Muqing was utterly crushed by Mo Wangchen’s overwhelming power. One of her arms was blown off, possibly beyond recovery. If it weren’t for the intervention of the Royal Family’s National Guardian..."

"Shh!" Before the middle-aged man could finish, someone made a silencing gesture. "Some things are better kept to oneself, don’t go spreading them around. After all, Jun Muqing is now the Crown Princess Consort."

Hearing this, the man’s face showed shock, and he dared not speak any further.

He understood that Jun Muqing represented the face of the Royal Family. Now that she had been defeated and even had an arm blown off by Mo Wangchen, resulting in a disastrous loss, this was a matter best kept to oneself to avoid antagonizing the Royal Family.

"I heard that Mo Wangchen’s father and family members have been imprisoned by the Royal Family, is that true?"

"Of course, it’s true! They were apparently imprisoned under the charge of defying the Crown Prince..."

"Haha, how true can that be, who knows? As far as I know, the Mo Family is just a minor clan, why would they foolishly challenge the Crown Prince and clash with the Black Evil Iron Cavalry?"

People understood that the so-called charges were probably forcibly imposed by the Royal Family. After all, accompanying the Crown Prince at that time were members of the feared Black Evil Iron Cavalry from Yun Country, each a master in the Spirit Transformation Realm. Only a fool would provoke the Crown Prince.

"Now that Mo Wangchen has left, and the woman who took him away is said to be a Primordial Spirit Realm expert, I wonder what the situation will be when he returns?"

"It’s hard to predict, but Yun Country has been a formidable imperial dynasty for thousands of years. With such strong roots, even if Mo Wangchen returns, he probably won’t be able to cause much trouble..."

"Not necessarily! Don’t forget, Mo Wangchen’s defeat of Jun Muqing already shows his exceptional talent. Moreover, he is a third-grade alchemist. Heh, with these credentials alone, he’s already enough to give the Royal Family a headache."

"Mo Wangchen’s father and the senior members of the Mo Family are currently imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison. The Royal Family doesn’t seem intent on executing them. Why is that?"

"It must be because the Alchemist Alliance is backing them up. Don’t forget, the Alchemist Alliance holds almost as much sway in Yun Country as the Royal Family does. Besides, I heard that the Mo Family in Fangtian City has already relocated en masse into the Alchemist Alliance, well-protected within its ranks."

"This just got interesting. The family is in the hands of the Royal Family, yet the Royal Family dares not execute them lightly. Mo Wangchen certainly won’t ignore the situation. When he returns, he will surely attempt to rescue his father and others from the Royal Family’s clutches. It remains to be seen if he will grow powerful enough to contend with an entire imperial dynasty by then..."

...

Mo Wangchen, oblivious to the rampant rumors circulating within Yun Country, had left Yun Country five days ago.

At this moment, he and Qin Yue were sitting cross-legged on the back of a phoenix, flying at high speed. In just five days, they had crossed scores of imperial dynasties.

"We’re here!"

As the phoenix flew over a range of mountains, Qin Yue slowly opened her eyes and stood up.

Mo Wangchen looked into the distance towards the mountains, where a mountain gate emerged, shrouded in mist, making it difficult to discern the objects within, only vaguely revealing the existence of some buildings.

"Is this the Pill Sect..."

He murmured, the Pill Sect was one of the three huge leaders in the ten domains, naturally possessing an incredibly formidable foundation. Although Mo Wangchen did not know much, he was aware that almost all disciples within the Pill Sect were alchemists.

The influence that alchemists possessed was needless to say, and such an alchemist’s sect, its power was probably unimaginable.

"To join our Pill Sect and become a true disciple, the primary requirement is to reach the third grade alchemist level. You have already passed the third grade Pill Master’s assessment in the Yun Country Alchemist Alliance, so I have already arranged your accommodations," Qin Yue glanced at Mo Wangchen, falling silent for a moment before continuing. "Here in the Pill Sect, unlike in Yun Country, it is a grand stage. In Yun Country, Jun Muqing could be called the number one talent, but here, people with her kind of talent are not uncommon. The entire dynamics of the ten domains are much more intense than you could imagine. Apart from our Pill Sect, the other two giants of the ten domains, the Xuannv Sect and the Sword Sect, each have disciples in the Returning Ruins Realm exceeding a thousand!"

"That many?!"

Mo Wangchen was shocked. In Yun Country, top Returning Ruins Realm experts were already at the pinnacle of the pyramid, but here they were just ordinary disciples?

Moreover, the three giants combined had young disciples amounting to a thousand, all having reached the Returning Ruins Realm!

Truly terrifying!

"Pressure creates motivation. Only in such an environment can you grow faster. Don’t forget, your father and clan members are still in the hands of the Yun Country Royal Family. All of these issues will eventually need to be resolved by yourself," Qin Yue said.

"I understand." Mo Wangchen nodded.

Subsequently, the two rode the phoenix and completely passed through the swirling mist. Mo Wangchen looked ahead, the entire mountain gate of the Pill Sect was immensely large, its land area almost as vast as Yunge City.

"Who goes there?"

As the phoenix entered the airspace of the Pill Sect, several figures flew up from the ground, instantly blocking in front of Mo Wangchen and Qin Yue.

These were all disciples of the Pill Sect, usually tasked with guarding the mountain gate to prevent outsiders from intruding.

"All in the Returning Ruins Realm!"

Mo Wangchen could tell without actively sensing that the disciples who had intercepted him and Qin Yue were all powerful beings in the Returning Ruins Realm.

Since these disciples were currently floating in the air, only those who had reached the Returning Ruins Realm could achieve this.

"The Saintess?!"

Initially, the disciples looked somewhat displeased, but when they clearly saw Qin Yue’s appearance, their faces showed surprise, and they promptly moved aside, their expressions filled with immense respect.
