“Brother Chen, are there any of these people who are your enemies?”
Chen Mo's expression became somewhat serious. Sun Qian thought he had met an enemy and his expression also unconsciously became alert.
Chen Mo shook his head, "Not an enemy, more like... how should I say it, a familiar stranger."
A familiar stranger, such a unique title.
Sun Qian was taken aback for a moment, "Who is this person? I can help you find out."
"Dressed in black, with a common-looking appearance."
Among the dense crowd, people dressed in black accounted for half, and those with common looks were even more numerous.
"And what else?"
"Two eyes, one nose, one mouth."
Sun Qian nodded seriously and really started looking for it. Su Kekan was also helping seriously. However, after looking around, they suddenly realized something.
Sun Qian: (⊙_⊙)
Su Kekan: ⊙(・◇・)？
"Senior, are there really people here who don't have two eyes, one nose and one mouth?" Su Kekan said in a discontented tone.
Sun Qian's lips twitched, suddenly feeling tricked. He complained: "Senior, if you don't want to tell me, just say so."
Chen Mo was somewhat helpless, "I don't even know what he looks like. I only know that his name is Zu Qquan, he's young, and a cultivator."
"Body martial?"
Sun Qian was somewhat surprised.
"Body martial" refers to a category of cultivators who focus on physical cultivation. Since the era of the flourishing of various cultivation methods, so-called warriors have become more clearly categorized. Just like when the cultivators opened meridians and entered the martial path, they were called Qi Wu. While cultivators who entered the path of physical cultivation, such as Chen Mo, are called Body Wu.
Although both have been merged into martial artists, there are still significant differences. For instance, in the way of cultivation; Qi Wu occupies more than 99 percent of all martial artists in this era, while Body Wu is extremely rare, almost like a treasure of great value.
Even if there are some, they are not strong, so they have gradually been forgotten by people.
Simply put, compared to other cultivation methods, the Body Wu cultivation method is too difficult and the progress is too slow, almost no one would choose this path unless they have a wasteful and lifeless vein.
However, there are very few waste spirit veins on the continent of Jiu Zhou, and even if there are waste veins, very few people would choose to cultivate them. It's better to live a peaceful life than to fight and kill on the most difficult path.
"Body martial artists are few in number, but there are so many people. It's not easy to find one. Sun Qian, why not try using your seeking-person spell?"
Su Kekan suggested.
Sun Qian took out several seeking-person charms from his bosom, sighing, "My seeking-person charm has a limited range. Now, the only ones I can find with it are those who have blood pests."
As he spoke, Sun Qian held up a seeking-person charm in front of Su Kecan, and suddenly, the charm began to emit red light and shook faintly.
"What is this?"
Chen Mo and Sun Qian were both taken aback, and their expressions immediately grew serious. There was a blood pest nearby.
Just as Chen Mo and Sun Qian were still in a daze, they saw the originally noisy crowd suddenly become silent. On both sides of the crowd, people separated themselves automatically, and in the center of the crowd, there were a group of people wearing gray and white long robes.
The leader was a middle-aged man with black goat whiskers. His tough eyes and stern face were imposing without anger.
"Look, that's the leader of the Lingxiao Sect, Ling Changfeng."
"Ling Master is truly a dragon among men. He reached the fourth rank in his forties and now has reached the peak of the fourth rank. I believe it won't be long before he enters the third rank. It's amazing that the Lingxiao Sect will climb to a new height."
"I've heard that Ling Master's Lingxiao Fist is out of this world, and all the heroes in the world hear his name and lose their courage. It seems that what they say is not false."
...
The surrounding people began to murmur with compliments. The middle-aged man didn't say anything, but his chest suddenly seemed to stand up higher.
"Fourth-grade ... Lingxiao Sect..."
Chen Mo's brows furrowed tightly. The structure of the Longtian Imperial Dynasty has changed somewhat differently from what he had thought. Perhaps, due to his own reasons, there have been subtle changes, but the overall direction should be correct...
Er... temporarily, it won't go wrong.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have something to say, please listen quietly."
Ling Changfeng stepped over the crowd and came to the front of everyone, then crossing his hands behind him, he loudly said.
The noisy crowd once again became silent, and everyone's eyes were straight and focused on the speaker.
"I am very honored to find such a secret realm in the northern borderlands. Within the realm, there are countless treasures, and any one of them taken out would be invaluable. Heavenly materials are even more unspeakable; but I'm sorry to say that this realm only allows those below the fourth rank to enter... I have no chance to enter, but you all do."
"On this day, the Lingxiao Sect has invited heroes from all over the world to come here, to share with you all such a great opportunity. The Lingxiao Sect does not seek profit; you may seize the treasures at your leisure; the treasures you obtain shall be entirely yours, and the Lingxiao Sect will take nothing in return. However, I have an earnest request for your consideration: please do not trouble our Lingxiao Sect disciples within the realm..."
Ling Changfeng's words were sincere, and the crowd nodded in agreement after hearing them.
"Don't worry, Ling Master. You have shared the secret realm with everyone, so your disciples from the Lingxiao Sect will not be attacked with blades and swords when they go in."
"I, Li Dan, swear here and now that I will not harm a single disciple of the Lingxiao Sect, and not only that, I will not allow others to harm them in any way either."
"I'm also like that."
...
"This Ling Changfeng is so selfless. The Lingxiao Sect truly opened my eyes today."
Sun Qian nodded secretly, showing his approval of Ling Changfeng.
Chen Mo glanced at Ling Changfeng, his face unconsciously twisted into a cold smile. "How long have you known him, and how can you tell he is a good person?"
"What does Brother Chen mean by that?"
Sun Qian slightly furrowed his brow, not understanding.
"The secret realm opens, treasures in abundance. How can the Lingxiao Sect willingly hand over so many treasures? Perhaps, they have some unknown plan behind their backs."
"How can Brother Chen say such things about Master Ling? He did say that anyone who gets the treasures within is entitled to them. This isn't selflessness what is?" he asked. "Other sects would even ask for certain benefits when opening a secret realm."
"A person's goodness or badness is not determined by what he says, but by what he does. Just based on his words, how can you easily believe his character? It's better to observe him more."
Chen Mo shook his head, though Ling Changfeng spoke in a manner that appeared noble and just, Chen Mo sensed a lack of sincerity in the way he spoke.
Moreover, the unusual movement of the seeking-person charm just now also made him have to be cautious... There might be a connection between the Lingxiao Sect and the blood pest... With the secret realm opening, there might be some trap...
Boom!
A roar sounded, and a stone door blocking the entrance of the cave behind Ling Changfeng began to slowly rise. Bright white light emanated from within the cave, illuminating the surroundings.
Ling Changfeng stepped aside, creating a path, and turned to smile at the crowd, "Ladies and gentlemen, the secret realm has been opened. Please go in."
