Chapter 196: Chapter 187: Enemies on a Narrow Road

"Let’s go, the Sword Sect’s people have already ventured deep inside. If we’re too late, I’m afraid the good stuff will all be taken by them," Mo Wangchen looked at Huang Ting and then revealed a slight smile as he spoke.

Huang Ting nodded, stood up from the ground, and then she left the place with Mo Wangchen.

The deeper they went, the more Mo Wangchen and his companions discovered numerous signs of battle along the way, and from time to time, they could see some corpses.

Those were the various geniuses who had entered the ruins this time. Tempted by treasures, no one could remain indifferent, but opportunities often came with many dangers. If one’s strength wasn’t enough, they could only fall here forever.

Mo Wangchen felt no sympathy for those who had died; after all, it was their own choice. He just felt somewhat emotional, recalling his past life before he had become an Alchemist, when he had seemed as insignificant as these people.

"Be careful, there are quite a few fifth-tier Monster Beasts around here. If possible, we should avoid them," Mo Wangchen cautioned.

Their group had already entered the blank area on the map and it was not until the evening, as they walked into a dense forest, that Mo Wangchen suddenly stopped.

"What’s wrong?" Huang Ting asked curiously.

"This way!"

Mo Wangchen didn’t explain. His eyes lit up, pointing in a certain direction.

All the way, his Perception had been constantly extend outward; at this moment, he finally sensed something. In the direction he was pointing, there was a faint presence of fluctuations, the kind that made people wary.

Moments later, they emerged from the dense forest and looked out to see a large clearing in front of them.

In the center of the clearing was a wooden hut. Mo Wangchen could feel that the worrisome fluctuations were emanating from inside the hut.

At this moment, there were quite a few people around the hut, apart from those from the Sword Sect, many more were the young generation from other powers, totaling hundreds of people.

When Mo Wangchen and his group arrived, everyone on the clearing subconsciously turned to look.

"The people from the Xuannv Sect have arrived."

"Eh? Isn’t that the disciple the Pill Sect sent into the ruins this time? Why is he appearing with people from the Xuannv Sect?"

"They must have formed some sort of alliance..."

"Heh, to put it nicely, it’s an alliance, to put it bluntly, that boy is just using the Xuannv Sect as a Safe Haven. With his Cultivation, how could he dare to roam around the ruins on his own? If he weren’t with the people from the Xuannv Sect, he probably would be dead in the mouth of a Monster Beast by now."

Some people sneered, although Mo Wangchen was a Disciple of the Pill Sect, it was quite evident that this time the Pill Sect had sent him on what amounted to a suicide mission.

"Senior Brother, Tang Ming went to intercept that kid earlier and hasn’t returned. Could he have died at this kid’s hand?"

At the location of the Sword Sect, Fang Ruyuan was seated on the ground, and a disciple beside him couldn’t help but ask.

Fang Ruyuan slightly furrowed his brow, "This is indeed strange, Tang Ming was at the eighth layer of the Spirit Transformation Realm; in theory, Mo Wangchen shouldn’t be a match for him. He must have died at the hands of a Monster Beast they encountered..."

"With Senior Brother Tang Ming’s strength, he can deal with ordinary fourth-tier Monster Beasts, and the chances of encountering a fifth-tier are not high..."

"How things really are, we’ll know if we ask." Fang Ruyuan stood up from the ground, a cold smile on his face, and then he walked over to Mo Wangchen and the others.

Seeing Fang Ruyuan and the others approaching, Mo Wangchen’s eyes narrowed, his Spirit Sea quietly released, prepared to take action at any moment.

Next to him, Huang Ting also frowned slightly. She hesitated for a moment but ultimately did not walk away.

The Sword Sect, Pill Sect, and Xuannv Sect were one of the three giants of the Ten Directions Realm. The longstanding grudge between the Sword Sect and the Pill Sect was no secret, while the Xuannv Sect always maintained a neutral position, never interfering in their affairs.

But, Mo Wangchen had previously saved her from the Dragon Python and even shared half of the Spiritual Liquid. Regardless, Huang Ting felt obliged to repay this kindness.

At that moment, Fang Ruyuan’s arrival with his men was undoubtedly targeted at Mo Wangchen. How could she simply stand by and do nothing?

"Is there a problem?"

As Fang Ruyuan and others approached, Mo Wangchen looked up, locked eyes with him, and asked indifferently.

The atmosphere at the scene was a bit eerie, as the various talents sitting around instinctively tensed, anticipating that a skirmish would soon break out.

Before entering the ancient relic, Mo Wangchen had already clashed with Fang Ruyuan. Now, with the men of the Sword Sect outnumbering them and the Pill Sect having only Mo Wangchen present, the situation looked dire for him.

"After entering the relic, have you come across any disciples of my Sword Sect?" Fang Ruyuan squinted his eyes, a cold glint flickering, and asked coldly.

"Sword Sect disciples?" Upon hearing his words, a look of confusion spread across people’s faces, as they began to realize something.

"It seems that the Sword Sect is indeed missing one disciple who entered the relic. Could something have happened?"

"From what Fang Ruyuan implies, could it be that he suspects the missing disciple died at the hands of Mo Wangchen?"

"Impossible, right? From what can be perceived of Mo Wangchen’s aura, his cultivation doesn’t seem to be that high..."

The crowd was bewildered, but after all, it was none of their concern, and looks of anticipation for a spectacle soon surfaced on their faces.

"I have!"

To everyone’s surprise, Mo Wangchen’s response was unexpected.

He simply nodded, staring directly at Fang Ruyuan, "He tried to kill me, and I killed him in self-defense."

"What?!"

"He really died at Mo Wangchen’s hands?"

"The Sword Sect disciples who entered the relic, the lowest among them, are at the seventh layer of the Spirit Transformation Realm. The one who is missing, isn’t that Tang Ming?"

"Tang Ming? I know of him, at the eighth layer of the Spirit Transformation Realm, his strength is remarkable. Did he really die at the hands of Mo Wangchen?"

While they discussed, the gazes of those around Mo Wangchen turned to surprise.

"Was it really you?!"

Fang Ruyuan’s face turned completely cold, his eyes revealing a murderous intent, "How dare you kill a disciple of my Sword Sect, Mo Wangchen. You have quite the nerve!"

"He sought my life, why couldn’t I take his? When you get down to it, his death is your fault, isn’t it? Had you not underestimated my power, and sent him to ambush me, how could he have been killed in a counterattack by me?"

Mo Wangchen sneered, as the power of his Spirit Sea was fully unleashed, with the aura of the seventh layer of the Spirit Transformation Realm bursting forth to its peak.

Fang Ruyuan’s eyes narrowed as he sensed the aura radiating from Mo Wangchen. Though it was only a cultivation of the seventh layer of the Spirit Transformation Realm, this aura was clearly not weaker than those at the eighth or ninth layer. No wonder, Tang Ming met his demise at Mo Wangchen’s hands.

"No matter what, for killing a disciple of my Sword Sect, your life must be taken as recompense!"

Fang Ruyuan snorted coldly, his eyes flickering with the intention to kill, as he drew the long sword from his waist, ready to strike.

"Fang Ruyuan, what do you think you’re doing?!"

Just then, Huang Ting and several others from the Xuannv Sect stood out from behind Mo Wangchen, their auras bursting forth, positioning themselves in front of Mo Wangchen.

"This is a grudge between the Sword Sect and the Pill Sect. Does the Xuannv Sect wish to intervene as well?" Fang Ruyuan frowned slightly as he looked at Huang Ting with a hint of wariness in his eyes.

Obviously, Huang Ting’s strength made him wary, but Fang Ruyuan couldn’t understand why the Xuannv Sect, which typically maintained a neutral stance, now seemed to be siding with Mo
