Chapter 325: Chapter 236: Appearance of the Innate Realm, A Shocking Change_2
 

Such formidable combat strength, even our Flowing Cloud Sect couldn’t muster.

“Everyone, please remain calm.”

Faced with the powerful aura that could change the color of a Martial Arts Grandmaster, Sect Master Mo still appeared composed, without any change in expression.

He continued with a smile, “Regarding this matter, our Flowing Cloud Sect already has a proper handling method. To be honest, I didn’t expect that our sect would have disciples who would rob other Sects.

Such abhorrent actions are most certainly not the intention of our Flowing Cloud Sect, purely the personal behavior of some greedy disciples.

Towards such evil deeds, our Flowing Cloud Sect has always abhorred them deeply and will never tolerate them.

Therefore, several days ago, our Flowing Cloud Sect already apprehended all the disciples and elders involved in robbing other Sects.

Now they are imprisoned in the dungeon behind the mountains, and if you, fellow daoists, will follow me up the mountain later, I will hand them all over to you for disposition.

As for the losses of the Major Sects, our Flowing Cloud Sect will also return them doubled.”

“As for Elder Qiu, who killed your disciple, he has also been imprisoned.” Mo Zhen added to the Silver Moon Sect Master, “I will personally hand him over to you, Sect Master Shan. Whether to kill or flay him, that will be up to you; our Flowing Cloud Sect will not interfere.

Sect Master Shan, are you satisfied with this arrangement?”

The Martial Artists from various Sect Forces exchanged glances upon hearing these words.

They didn’t expect that the Flowing Cloud Sect would be so easy to talk to.

It’s known that the actions of the Flowing Cloud Sect were always overbearing, especially in recent decades where they’ve become even more aggressive.

If not for being so oppressed that they couldn’t bear it any longer, why would they have come to the Flowing Cloud Sect?

To be realistic, they were prepared for a desperate battle before coming here.

But now, Mo Zhen unexpectedly showed weakness, offering to hand over their own disciples and elders.

When had the Flowing Cloud Sect ever shown such submissiveness?

This gave the Martial Artists from various Sect Forces a sense of abnormality.

The Silver Moon Sect Master also felt this was strange and narrowed his eyes, “Mo Zhen, what are you really planning? Such kindness, to honestly hand over people?”

“Sect Master Shan, this is where you’re mistaken. Our Flowing Cloud Sect is showing such sincerity, yet you still have doubts. If you and the others don’t trust us, you might as well follow me up the mountain, and I will hand over the people to you,” Mo Zhen said earnestly.

Hearing Mo Zhen suggest they go up the mountain again, the Silver Moon Sect Master’s mind shifted.

Suddenly, he waved his hand, “Since you’re showing such sincerity, to doubt further would make us appear small-minded. However, there’s no need to go up the mountain; your sect is busy with many affairs, and we wouldn’t want to disturb.

If you, Sect Master Mo, just bring the people down the mountain, after we’ve apprehended the culprits, we’ll naturally leave and stop disturbing your sect.”

“If that’s how it is, you fellow daoists have come from far away and haven’t even had a chance to drink our sect’s wine. If the world came to know of this, wouldn’t they laugh at our Flowing Cloud Sect for being poor hosts?

Please, fellow daoists, come up the mountain. We’ve already prepared a feast to wash away the dust of travel, and we hope you won’t disdain it.”

Indeed, there was a problem.

Seeing Mo Zhen repeatedly invite them up the mountain, the Silver Moon Sect Master felt even more that something was not right.

He sneered, “Sect Master Mo, your eagerness for us to go up the mountain, could it be that your Flowing Cloud Sect has set a trap, wishing to ensnare us all at once?”

“Indeed, Sect Master Mo, could there be deceit in your plan?”

The Martial Artists from the various Sect Forces also began to smell something fishy and looked at Mo Zhen with caution.

Seeing that everyone was immovable, unwilling to go up the mountain, Mo Zhen’s smile finally faded.

“So it seems you really refuse to go up the mountain?”

“It appears that Sect Master Mo indeed harbors ulterior motives.”

Seeing his demeanor, everyone understood.

“Sigh, I had hoped to save some effort, but since you refuse to appreciate the kindness, don’t blame me.”

Mo Zhen’s face lost all traces of a smile, replaced by sheer indifference.

Seeing him like this, the Silver Moon Sect Master’s sense of alertness surged, “Mo Zhen, what do you intend?”

Mo Zhen paid him no heed, instead bowing deeply with great respect towards the entrance of the tavern, “I welcome the Supreme Elder!”

“What! The Supreme Elder!”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s hearts trembled violently.

It was known that only a few individuals could be addressed as the Supreme Elder by Mo Zhen, the Sect Master himself…

“Hmph, I told you there’s no need to waste that energy. Since the Array has already been set up in town, why make the redundant move to lure them up the mountain? Do you think they could escape from the palm of my hand?”

Suddenly, a cold voice pierced the air, and a figure clad in a white robe appeared in the hall of the tavern.

The old man had white hair and a white beard, eyes like that of a vulture, and a nose hooked like an eagle’s, his visage exuding an aura of gloom.

As soon as the eagle-nosed elder appeared, a powerful and chilling aura oppressed the entire room, making everyone feel inexplicably heavy.

Even the Silver Moon Sect Master and the Deputy Palace Master of the Palace of a Hundred Blossoms, who had already stepped into the Grandmaster Realm, felt their bodies stiffen, finding it difficult to move.

“Innate pressure, an Innate Realm Expert!”

The Silver Moon Sect Master gazed at the eagle-nosed elder, horror striking his heart.

“Quite capable, to raise your head under my Innate pressure. Worthy indeed of being the Sect Master of Silver Moon. Your will has been well-cultivated; I suppose your Divine Soul Power is about to take shape as well.”

The eagle-nosed elder seemed somewhat surprised, inadvertently offering praise.

“You must be the Innate Realm ancestor of the Flowing Cloud Sect. The Holy Mountain has issued an order, forbidding Innate Realm experts from casually attacking Martial Artists below the Innate level. Would you really go against the Holy Order?” The Silver Moon Sect Master said with some difficulty.

“You think to use the Holy Order to pressure me?” The eagle-nosed elder looked darkly at the Silver Moon Sect Master. “With so many of you joining forces, bullying the Flowing Cloud Sect, do you really think that merely a Holy Order is going to stop me from dealing with you?”

“Elder, if you bully the weak, aren’t you afraid that the Innate Realm ancestors of Silver Moon Sect and the Palace of a Hundred Blossoms will also disregard the rules?”

Seeing that the eagle-nosed elder seemed intent on actually making a move against them, the Silver Moon Sect Master had no choice but to invoke his own Sect’s Innate Realm ancestors.

The eagle-nosed elder immediately hesitated.

The Silver Moon Sect Master secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

This was the advantage of a sect possessing an Innate Realm ancestor.

An Innate Realm ancestor could truly be considered the deepest foundation of a sect.

The peculiar aura of the Innate Realm enabled experts within this realm to sense each other over certain distances.

And because breaking through to the Innate Realm involved the baptism of the Heaven and Earth Rules, the majority of Innate Realm Experts possessed similar strengths in their physical bodies, Innate True Qi, and Divine Soul Power.

Therefore, among those in the Innate Realm, as long as the realm difference wasn’t too great, it was almost impossible to defeat one another in single combat.

Even if one couldn’t win, they could also escape in advance.

Once it became a pursuit, the variables became too many. The escaping party, having the initiative, had too many ways to shake off their pursuer.

It was precisely because Innate Realm experts were difficult to kill that amongst the sects that possessed them, there tended to be an unspoken rule.

That was, unless facing a crisis that could overturn their sect, Innate Realm Experts would generally not involve themselves in common frictions between sects.

Otherwise, if experts from both sides, disregarding martial morality, launched sneak attacks on the other’s disciples,

In the end, both sides’ sects would likely suffer heavy losses among their disciples, ending up with nothing.

The Silver Moon Sect Master was betting that the eagle-nosed elder wouldn’t dare break this rule. Now, it seemed, he was right.

However, just as the Silver Moon Sect Master sighed in relief, he saw the eagle-nosed elder suddenly reveal a strange smile.

“You must think that I will respect the rules and not dare to touch you, right?”

“Now let me tell you, you’re wrong. Today, you all must die here!”

“Just two of the Initial Innate Realm, after today, if those two old fools dare to come forward, I will eliminate them along with you!”

With that said, the eagle-nosed elder’s hand produced a small flag, giving it a slight shake.

In the next moment, an astonishing turn of events unfolded.
