Chapter 538: Chapter 529: As Expected, They Came!

"You are Xiao Jingheng?"

Huang Changyu narrowed his eyes, looking at the other party. He had naturally also heard the name Xiao Jingheng before.

This man, like himself, was one of the Saint Heirs of the Northern Immortal Domain, and his strength was extraordinary, comparable to the average Divine Son of the various Sacred Lands.

It could be said that, below all the Saint Heirs, he and Xiao Jingheng were indeed the top geniuses!

Unexpectedly, the man had also arrived here today. Yesterday, someone else had beaten him to it; today, no matter what, he had to be the first to cross the Other Shore Bridge.

Otherwise, failing twice would be too embarrassing.

"How interesting, today these two are both present. It seems we won’t be able to compete with them for that spot. Rather than that, it’s better to quietly enjoy a good show."

"Anyone with a slight self-awareness probably wouldn’t dare to challenge the Other Shore Bridge today. It looks like today, it’s only Huang Changyu and Xiao Jingheng."

The crowd was abuzz with discussion, their faces showing keen interest as they stepped back a bit, no longer entertaining the idea of challenging the Other Shore Bridge.

Amidst the chatter of the crowd, Mo Wangchen slightly furrowed his brows.

"These two are very powerful?"

He was puzzled, but judging from the reactions of the people around, both Huang Changyu and Xiao Jingheng clearly had quite a reputation.

But all of this seemed irrelevant to him; the priority now was to be the first to pass through the Other Shore Bridge and secure the qualification to join the Immortal Sect of Inquiry.

Mo Wangchen did not think too much about it and immediately squeezed through the crowd, walking towards the Other Shore Bridge not far ahead.

"Hmm?"

When they saw him arrive in front of the Other Shore Bridge, almost without needing a reminder, everyone’s gaze was attracted to him.

"Who is this person?"

"Don’t know where this greenhorn came from, he can’t see the situation clearly. Does he really think he can compete with Huang Changyu and Xiao Jingheng for the spot?"

Many people laughed, their faces carrying an expression of anticipation to watch the drama, as their eyes fell on Mo Wangchen.

"My friend, I think you better forget about it. Rather than wasting your energy here, it’s better to conserve your experience for tomorrow."

Someone said to Mo Wangchen with a laugh, trying to convince him.

"Why?" Mo Wangchen looked puzzled and asked.

Hearing his words, many people secretly shook their heads and laughed. Truly a greenhorn who couldn’t see the situation clearly.

"Hmph!"

At that moment, Huang Changyu, dressed in a black robe, let out a cold snort and then he too walked towards the Other Shore Bridge.

As he moved, his gaze fell on Mo Wangchen, carrying a hint of disdain.

The might of the ninth level of the Saint Venerable Realm burst forth tremendously. The terrifying pressure, like a great mountain, pressed towards Mo Wangchen as a warning.

Huang Changyu’s intention was clear: today, the Other Shore Bridge was the stage for himself and Xiao Jingheng alone, and it could not accommodate an unknown upstart like Mo Wangchen stealing the spotlight.

Feeling the pressure from the opponent, Mo Wangchen slightly squinted his eyes. Although this pressure was formidable, it had no effect on him whatsoever.

"Hmph!"

Mo Wangchen snorted coldly. His Holy Rank Perception burst forth and instantly shattered Huang Changyu’s mountainous pressure.

His Perception was like a vast ocean, endless and imposing, enveloping the entire area in a moment with an indescribable oppressive aura, and in the next instant, it was bearing down on Huang Changyu.

"Ugh!"

But to the astonishment of everyone present, under their watchful eyes, Huang Changyu spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning pale instantly, and he staggered backward several steps, nearly failing to steady himself.

"How is this possible?"

He looked on in astonishment, with a wary eye on Mo Wangchen. That split second had brought with it an overpowering sensation of oppression as though it wanted to destroy his Divine Thought.

"What’s going on?"

Everyone furrowed their brows, not knowing what had happened, because the Perception Mo Wangchen had just released, was aimed only at Huang Changyu, with no one else feeling anything.

"My god, just one look made Huang Changyu spit blood?"

"Who is this person? He didn’t seem to exert any aura just now, what’s going on?"

"Could he be some monstrous talent that has just emerged?"

Everyone’s faces were filled with surprise, eyeing Mo Wangchen with trepidation. Although they didn’t fully understand what had happened, it was clear that this young man they had not previously considered was likely no ordinary individual.

"If there’s a next time, it won’t be as simple as just spitting out blood."

Among the murmurs of everyone in the field, Mo Wangchen’s gaze casually drifted over Huang Changyu, his voice slightly cold.

Hearing this, Huang Changyu clenched his teeth but didn’t dare to retort. The oppression he had felt earlier was akin to the pressure from an Emperor Realm strongman. Could it be that this young man before him had reached the Emperor Realm?

Throughout the entire Northern Immortal Domain, among the younger generation, those who could reach the Emperor Realm’s Cultivation at such an age were probably only the Divine Sons of the various Sacred Lands, right?

But obviously, Mo Wangchen was not a Divine Son from any Sacred Land; otherwise, why would he come here to cross the Other Shore Bridge and wish to join the Immortal Sect of Inquiry?

Not far from Huang Changyu’s side, Xiao Jingheng frowned deeply. With his strength not much different from Huang Changyu’s and seeing that even Huang was brought to coughing up blood with a single gaze from this man in white, it was likely the same would go for himself.

"Interesting, so he has indeed come..."

At this moment, on the other side of the Other Shore Bridge, in the sky, the old man from the Immortal Sect of Inquiry slightly squinted his eyes, a gleam of fascination apparent within them.

He recognized Mo Wangchen. When Mo had first entered the Ancient Immortal Domain and fought with Feng Wuheng, this elder had been there.

After the battle in Silver City, Mo Wangchen had declined invitations from all sides, declaring that he wished to join the Immortal Sect of Inquiry.

Now, he had indeed come!

"This young man excels in both Alchemy and Martial Arts, his strength comparable to All Gods, with even Ye Wudao unable to shake him; among the young generation of this era, there is already a scarcity of rivals for him. Most importantly, he has yet to Prove Emperor; otherwise, he would have eclipsed his peers."

"Such a person, when he expressed his wish to join the Immortal Sect of Inquiry in Silver City back then, not only the Lingtian Peak of the Sect Master’s line but also the masters of the other six peaks had already paid attention. They even ordered me that if this young man arrives, I must report it at the earliest opportunity..."

As he muttered to himself, the elder’s fingers flicked, and six faint rays of light shot forth, heading towards the Mountain Gate of the Immortal Sect of Inquiry behind him.

"With his Talent, he ought not need to cross this Other Shore Bridge; the Peak Masters would invite him wholeheartedly. However, it’s also good to see his potential."

The elder spoke with a smile, his eyes shining brightly. Clearly, the Talent that Mo Wangchen had displayed had long sparked the interest of the powerful members of the Immortal Sect of Inquiry, including its six great Peak Masters.

Under the gaze of everyone present, Mo Wangchen withdrew his attention from Huang Changyu and turned around, stepping towards the Other Shore Bridge.
