Chosen Man
Arriving In The City of Nine Furnaces
Daoist Master Mo Wang's eyes from the Azure Sect lit up as he said, “ Nine Furnace City? Could it be that this kid intends to participate in the Eternal Lotus Competition?”
In the hall, the gray-robed old man said in a low voice, "That's very likely Master!"
Mo Wang remained silent.
His hair was like silver and his beard was fluttering, yet his appearance was like that of a young man. As his eyes moved, it was engulfed by traces of an ancient aura.
Right now, he was sitting alone in the main seat in the middle of the hall. Even though he was only wearing a simple and plain linen robe, his strength was terrifying, and he had the aura of a ruler capable of dominating the world.
"Do you know if Feng Zun has an expert with him?"
Mo Wang asked.
In his opinion, no matter how challenging a young man's battle prowess was, it was impossible for him to be able to kill an intermediate Immortal Realm cultivator like Ming Miaohong.
"It's not known yet."
The gray-robed elder shook his head.
Mo Wang frowned slightly.
Right at this moment, a short and chubby old man suddenly rushed into the hall like a gust of wind and said, "Senior Brother Mo Wang, there is great news coming from the Divine Sword Palace."
Lei Fang's.
He was the third elder of the inner court, the junior brother of Mo Wang, a late cultivator of the Mortal realm.
"What's that?"
Sect master Mo Wang and the gray-robed elder looked over.
Lei Fang said, "It was said that the three inner sect disciples of the Divine Sword Palace were all killed by Feng Zun. One of them was a disciple named Huo Sheng. He was the eldest son of the Huo Clan Partiac and grandson of First Elder Huo Liandu of the Divine Sword Palace."
There was a little bit of joy on his face. “Due to that matter, the old men from Divine Sword Palace have been arguing for days. But one thing is for sure, Feng Zun.. will soon suffer!”.
After hearing this, Mo Wang frowned and realized something was wrong. He said, "This Feng Zun has too big a problem!"
Ming Miaohong was one of the three inner court elders of the Azure Sect, an existence at the intermediate stage of the Immortal Realm. However, he encountered misfortune when dealing with a young man of a dozen years like Feng Zun.
Now, even the three disciples within the Divine Sword Palace had lost their lives due to Feng Zun. No one would dare to believe this.
The gray-robed elder also realized that something was wrong. "Even those freaks from ancient times would not dare provoke a high-class orthodoxy like us in this world. From where could that Feng Zun gain the confidence to do so?"
Lei Fang, who was originally feeling happy over Feng Zun's misfortune, now became stunned for a moment. Then, he regained his senses and said with a solemn expression, "Do you suspect that there is a terrifying existence or a mysterious power behind Feng Zun?"
"It's hard to say."
Master Mo Wang's expression was uncertain. "But after all, we can't underestimate this kid."
He paused for a moment and made a decision. “Brother Lei Fang, go with Brother Tinghai and make a trip to Nine Furnace City now. Use the sect's connections and influence to investigate Feng Zun's background.”
Elder Lei Fang and the gray-robed elder, Daoist Tinghai, agreed together.
Still worried, Mo Wang reminded them, “Remember, if it is not really needed, do not confront directly with Feng Zun. For the two of you Immortal experts, this child might not pose much of a threat, but you guys should be wary of whether he has an expert by his side or not."
Lei Fang and Tinghai's hearts trembled, and they nodded.
"Go away. The news of Elder Ming Miaohong's death had spread like a blaze. Many people in the world are rejoicing at our misfortune and laughing at our Azure Sect. No matter who Feng Zun is, our Azure Sect will not let this pass you by!"
Mo Wang said coldly.
It was the tenth day of the ninth month.
The Divine Field Palace and the Azure Sect were the two largest factions in the Long Empire. Those two great powers were targeting Feng Zun!
…
Five days later.
Nightfall.
After the Feng Zun group passed through the vast mountains, they could finally see the Nine Furnace City from a distance.
The misty twilight and sunset light was like fire.
The Nine Furnace City was like an ancient dragon that coiled around the ground and stretched out like a mountain that stretched indefinitely over a vast land.
The twilight clouds spread downwards to the enormous city, and the ancient wall that looked as if it was built from divine gold was covered in a layer of deep and powerful golden light.
