Dongfang Yi groaned and looked at Mo Wen hesitantly.
“What’s the matter? Do you have a question?” Mo Wen raised his eyebrows. Dongfang Yi was a member of Huatian Palace’s Heaven’s Eye. He would not be able to find out about what happened with Shen Jing’s family. Why was he hesitating?
“Are you sure you want to know?” Dongfang Yi laughed bitterly.
“Is there anything I shouldn’t know about?” M Wen laughed coldly.
“This matter involves some important people. I am afraid that you will get into trouble,” Dongfang Yi said helplessly.
“Oh? Important people! What kind of trouble would happen?” Mo Wen asked with interest.
“Do you know of the Ten Great Sects in the ancient martial arts world?” Dongfang Yi’s expression turned grave.
“I do. Aren’t the Changtian Sect and that Medicine Manor part of the Ten Great Sects? What has this to do with Shen Jing?” Mo Wen asked lightly.
“Changtian Sect and the Medicine Manor are both part of the Ten Great Sects. But they are both lower-tiered sects. The top five sects are far more powerful than them. Not even ten Changtian Sects can match up to them.”
Dongfang Yi stared at Mo Wen, his tone somber. It was as if Dongfang Yi was reminding him that those sects were very powerful and Mo Wen should not aggravate them.
“Oh, what has their power got to do with Shen Jing? Don’t beat around the bush!” Mo Wen nodded disapprovingly. He had seen extremely powerful sects in the Inner world, so why would he be concerned by a few sects in the main space?
“The person who forced Shen Jing to marry him is from one of the Ten Great Sects. He is closely related to the Crimson Star Sect, which ranks fourth. If you do anything to him, you might incur the wrath of the Crimson Star Sect. It would be troublesome for you...”
Dongfang Yi knew what Mo Wen was like. He was afraid that Mo Wen might make trouble. Mo Wen was a mad man who would dare to do anything. Even though his decisions had always been proved right, it could well be different this time.
The Crimson Star Sect was ranked fourth amongst the Ten Great Sects. It was much more powerful than an ordinary sect. It was said that there were warriors at the level of the Golden Elixir Realm in it.
No matter how powerful and talented Mo Wen was, he could, at the most, fight with warriors of the Embryonic Breathing Realm. He could not possibly survive a battle against a warrior of the Golden Elixir Realm.
The most important thing was that the person who had forced Shen Jing to marry him was closely related to the Crimson Star Sect. If this wasn’t the case, then Dongfang Yi wouldn’t be worrying about the sect standing up for this man. However, Dongfang Yi knew that if Mo Wen dared to do anything to this person, the Crimson Star Sect would definitely act.
“So that’s why! Tell me, who exactly is this person and how is he related to the Crimson Star Sect?” Mo Wen said lightly, his lips curled into a sneer.
“The man is called Fan Junsheng. He is nothing special and is from an ordinary family. However, he has an elder sister, Fan Jingjing who entered the Crimson Star Sect at a young age. She is extremely talented and beautiful, and she quickly outshone everyone else. She did not just become a disciple that the Crimson Star Sect is focused on nurturing. She is also the wife of the Young Sect Master.
Fan Jingjing dotes on her younger brother and is highly protective of him. If you do anything to him, she will definitely defend him. Given her current status in the Crimson Star Sect, you will definitely be attacked by them. Furthermore, while Fan Junsheng might not have much talent in cultivating in the ancient martial arts, he has strong business acumen. He is in charge of several businesses belonging to the Crimson Star Sect. If anything happens, the sect would definitely protect him.”
Dongfang Yi gave Mo Wen a look and said helplessly, “So you’d better think about this matter and make plans before you do anything. Given your talent, you would not need to fear the Crimson Star Sect in the future. But you’d better bear with it for now.”
Shen Jing’s adoptive parents had forced her to marry and had even locked her up. This was not just because of Fan Junsheng’s status, but it was also because they were afraid of him and did not dare refuse to marry Shen Jing to him.
“Can he force someone to marry him just because he excels at something?” Mo Wen laughed coldly.
“What do you intend to do?” Dongfang Yi’s expression changed. He said sternly, “Calm down. The Crimson Star Sect is not a sect you can afford to offend right now. Given your talent, you would not need to fear them in the future. Why would you take this dangerous path now?”
He knew Mo Wen very well but there were times he did not understand him at all. Given Mo Wen’s character, he would not do something so silly. This was as good as walking to his death.
“How can I find this Fan Junsheng?” Mo Wen did not intend to waste any time and asked Dongfang Yi for information directly.
“It seems that you are stubborn about this. I will not tell you where he is. Since I have told you so much already, it should not be difficult for you to find out where he is given your abilities. However, I’ll still advise you not to be rash.”
Dongfang Yi looked at Mo Wen intently. He knew that Mo Wen was different. However, the Crimson Star Sect was no ordinary sect either. Even though Mo Wen was a four stars executor from Huatian Palace, the palace would not protect him if he angered the Crimson Star Sect because of a personal vendetta.
“Let’s change the topic. How are the Ten Great Sects chosen?” Mo Wen asked curiously. He understood some things now. The ten ancient martial arts sects referred only to the martial arts sect in the main space. The martial arts sects of the Inner world were not included. Otherwise, sects like Changtian Sect would not rank so highly.
Furthermore, among the Ten Great Sects, only the first five sects had warriors of the Golden Elixir Realm running them. The most powerful members of sects like Changtian Sect were only at the peak of the Embryonic Breathing Realm. In terms of abilities, only the Yanxia Sect of the series of three big Mountain ranges were decent. Sects like that were rare even in the main space.
However, the other sects were not weak. Even the Dafang Sect had an elder who was at the peak of the Embryonic Breathing Realm. So how did Changtian Sect become part of the Ten Great Sects? There were many warrior sects with such ability even in the main space. Changtian Sect did not have any advantage.
“The selection of the sects that make up the Ten Great Sects has something to do with Huatian Palace. Huatian Palace will hold a Martial Arts Circle Convention every five years in the martial arts world. Technically speaking, all warrior sects can participate in it. The sects who takes the first ten positions make up the Ten Great Sects until the next convention,” Dongfang Yi said.
“Oh, then can the martial arts sects of the Inner world participate in this?” Mo Wen nodded lightly.
“You know of the inner world?” Dongfang Yi looked at Mo Wen in slight surprise. It was as if it was his first time meeting Mo Wen.
“What’s the matter?” Mo Wen smiled.
“You are indeed complex. Even in the ancient martial arts world in this space, the Inner world remains a secret. Other than some high-level warriors, not many know of it. I only know a little about it, and that’s because I work for the Heaven’s Eye organization in Huatian Palace. We get more information. I hear about what happens in the inner world occasionally.”
Dongfang Yi sized Mo Wen up. Actually, he did not know much about the Inner world. His information was mostly from the Heaven’s Eye organization. To him, the ancient martial arts world was made up of this world in the main space. It did not include the mysterious Inner world. If Mo Wen knew of the inner world, it showed how advanced he was.
“I guess that the martial arts sects from the Inner world probably cannot participate in this. Otherwise, the Martial Arts Circle Convention would not work in the same way. The Inner world is too mysterious. They seem to be under some sort of restriction and cannot appear in the main space easily. Even when they come to the main space, they cannot do anything that will change the situation here too much. As for why this is so, I do not know.”
“However, I heard some secret news earlier. During the Martial Arts Circle Convention each year, some warriors of the Inner world will use some sort of secret method to enter the convention. This is because of the really generous prizes that Huatian Palace gives out. I’m not sure if this is true or not, but it’s said that a few dark horses appear at every Martial Arts Circle Convention, allowing some average martial arts sect to enter the top ten. Changtian Sect is an example from the last convention. Some people say that this is because the martial arts sect of the Inner world interfered.”
Dongfang Yi could not help but become talkative as he talked about the Inner world. To him, the Inner world was an extremely mysterious existence, and he was very interested in talking about it.
“It is said that the sects that make it into the top five at every Martial Arts Circle Convention are all related to the Inner world. The Crimson Star Sect is probably not as simple as they appear to be. You’d better calm down and think about it.”
Dongfang Yi looked at Mo Wen meaningfully. This was purely a guess from him and he was just trying to scare Mo Wen. Otherwise, Mo Wen might do something irrational. However, there would not be smoke without fire, and he might even have guessed correctly.
“You seem afraid that I will find trouble with the Crimson Star Sect...” Mo Wen smiled. Dongfang Yi had good intentions, so it would not be nice for him to say anything unkind. Before he could continue, the piercing sound of a car screeching to a halt sounded at the entrance. It seemed that a car had stopped suddenly in front of his home.
Then, someone knocked on the door.
“Come in,” Mo Wen said lightly. The door opened, and a lithe woman entered. The woman was mature and beautiful. She was none other than Lin Qing.
“Is there something you need from me?” Mo Wen asked curiously. Lin Qing would not come to look for him in such a hurry if there was nothing the matter.
“Someone came to the hospital to make trouble the afternoon after you took Shen Jing from the hospital,” Lin Qing said gravely. It was evident that she could not deal with the matter or she would not have come to look for Mo Wen so urgently.
“Oh, someone dared to make trouble?” Mo Wen said lightly.
“It is someone called Fan Junsheng. He came with Shen Jing’s parents and rebuked the hospital for releasing Shen Jing without their agreement. They also asked that the person who took Shen Jing away send her back immediately,” Lin Qing said simply, explaining the situation in as few words as possible.
“Hrmph, so it’s him. I haven’t looked him up, but he’s sent himself to us.” Mo Wen laughed coldly.
