The voice was a little familiar. Mo Wen raised his eyebrows and looked over towards the black figure that was flying over.
It was actually her. Mo Wen pressed his mouth into a thin line. That uncivilized woman that he had met on the road had actually rushed over to the Cropped Top Mountain as well at this time. Her speed was not slow at all.

Yin Banshuang.
Mo Wen had heard the woman’s name from a few of the people of Purple Qi Pavilion. She was a major disciple in the Five Beasts Sect and was ranked second amongst the Four Geniuses. She did not lose out with regards to Cultivation when compared to the older generation of masters.

Miss Yin.
When Liu Tong of Tong Luo Sect saw Yin Banshuang, he immediately bowed and lost all signs of arrogance. Even the Sect Leader of Tong Luo Sect did not dare to snub this talented female disciple who would in the future very likely become the person at the helm of Five Beasts Sect.

Lad, it’s you again. Why? Do you have something against Five Beasts Sect or are you against me?
Everyone knew about Yin Banshuang’s arrogance. She did not even glance at Liu Tong as her cold eyes wildly looked at Mo Wen. Her long hair was dancing wildly in the wind and her body was attractive as it was curvy in the right areas. She was just like a strong female leopard.


She had not imagined that she would meet this youth again after just an hour. She had said that they would meet again, but she had not it to happen so quickly. Tong Luo Sect had always been affiliated to Five Beasts Sect. What was this youth doing at Tong Luo Sect? Could it have something to do with her?
Along the way, the old man in purple robe had briefed her about the approximate situation. Hence, she knew a little bit about why Mo Wen had come. However, from what she understood, that was as good as saying that he had no reason.

I am not interested in quarreling with others. But it seems like others are trying to pick a fight with me right now. Do you think I am a pushover and you can just steal my things as you like?
Mo Wen spoke calmly but inside was finding things a little odd. Beforehand, Yin Banshuang had intended to steal his steed. Then, the disciples of Tong Luo Sect had the same aim. Moreover, they were all linked by the Five Beasts Sect.

With your ability, how could those normal disciples of Tong Luo Sect be able to steal your Flaming Dragon Colt? Don’t be unreasonable,
Yin Banshuang said with a cold expression.
Liu Tong, standing to one side, and the old man in purple robe both looked at Yin Banshaung in surprise. The two of them knew the personality of this woman all too well. Usually, when faced with such situations, she would not even reason things out. Instead, she would just directly attack him. However, the current situation was playing out completely different from what they had expected. Could it be that the renowned Demoness Yin had changed?
From their conversation before, it was clear that Demoness Yin and that youth were acquainted, and had a certain understanding of each other.
Liu Tong’s expression grew even more solemn. Demoness Yin knew this youth and her way of handling matters were different from usual. That was sufficient to indicate certain things. Evidently, he was not someone to be messed with.

Ridiculous,
Mo Wen said calmly.
You guys have gone overboard. You are the ones trying to steal others’ belongings and yet I am the unreasonable one. Woman, I didn’t want to be too calculative with you just now. Do you really think I cannot handle you?
His figure suddenly vanished from where he had been standing.
In the next moment, his figure appeared not too far away from Yin Banshuang. The wind and grass remained still. However, a frightening pressure had pounced towards Yin Banshuang.

Crazy!
Yin Banshuang grew furious. She had never imagined that there would be someone even more insane than her. Why? Beforehand, he had let her off and he was now taking the opportunity to teach her a lesson.


Yin Banshuang felt her heart grow cold. She admitted that this youth had exceptional capabilities. However, he was at most on par with a normal ancient martial art practitioner with the Golden Elixir realm. That was not too far away from her abilities as well.
Just because he was rather capable at such a young age, he believed that there were no enemies who were a worthy match for him.

Since you want to die so badly, I will fulfill your wishes.
Yin Banshuang’s long hair flew in the wind. The aura of craziness had exuded from her body and all the sand on the ground was sent flying.

Tiger Divine Fist.
A tiger’s roar caused the entire mountain to vibrate. A piercing white light exploded out of Yin Banshuang’s body and her body suddenly expanded to a height exceeding three meters. A circle of white light was emitted from her arms and a tiger’s head had crystallized on her fist.
In the Five Beasts Sect, there were the Five Great Beast Techniques. They included the Lion Technique, Tiger Technique, Leopard Technique, Bull Technique, and Elephant Technique.
Each of the Five Great Beasts Techniques had its own distinctive characteristics. However, without exception, they were very powerful.
The fact that Five Beasts Sect could become the top sect in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension was very closely related to the Five Great Beasts Techniques.
Yin Banshuang cultivated the Tiger Technique. Her White Tiger Divine Power that had taken over her body was exceptional and amazing in its power. It was said that a single punch could create a split in a mountain. People who cultivated the Tiger Technique inherited a great ability in battling. They were very consistent in all aspects with no particularly outstanding ones. However, there were also no particular shortcomings.
Yin Banshuang tilted her leg that was as straight as a stick slightly. With a kick of both her legs, her figure catapulted towards Mo Wen just like a cannonball. It looked like a very uncivilized move but it actually required a lot of technique.
In comparison, Mo Wen’s aura was far weaker than that of Yin Banshuang. In fact, he did not even do anything. He simply took a step towards Yin Banshuang but did not make a move to attack.


However, when the two of them were about to knock into each other, a radiant golden light suddenly shone in his eyes. It looked just like two suns rising gradually.
The heart of the old man in the purple robe skipped a beat and his pupils dilated. He had seemingly also seen that golden light flash through the youth’s eyes. Then, the old man lost all sensation, not even knowing how he had sustained his injuries.
Yin Banshuang’s frightening aura was stopped instantly. Her entire body grew soft and she almost fell from mid-air.

Woman, it is very easy for me to kill you.
Mo Wen’s stepped out to appear before Yin Banshuang at just the right moment. With a flick of his finger, a golden light flashed by. Half of a wisp of Yin Banshuang’s hair was cut and it appeared in Mo Wen’s hand.
With a flash of his figure, Mo Wen returned to his original position. It was as though he had never even moved in the first place. Meanwhile, Yin Banshuang looked haggard as she landed on the ground, almost falling. She felt as though there were stars circling around her head.
In the surrounding area, there was a very loud breath of air taken in. Liu Tong and the old man in the purple robe, especially, had been scared until their expressions turned pale. The two of them knew of Yin Banshuang’s abilities. Amongst the youths, she was definitely the top. With regard to solo battles, even the two of them were not a match for her. Moreover, Yin Banshuang was greatly favored by a few of the elders in Five Beasts Sect. It was said that she possessed many treasures, and even carried around spiritual weapons. If she used her spiritual weapon, even the two of them combined would not be her match.
Yet, such a frightening woman could actually become so weak and helpless when faced with this youth. A wisp of her hair had been retrieved so easily by the other party. If he had gone directly for her vital organs, she would have died!
The two Deputy Sect Leaders of Tong Luo Sect simply did not dare to believe their eyes. Just what kind of scary presence was this youth? Could it be that he was the legendary extinct being that had surpassed the Golden Elixir realm?
Internally, the two of them were crying. If such a person was against their Tong Luo Sect, they were afraid that even the Five Beasts Sect would find it tough to protect them. Rather, Five Beasts Sect would not even pay such a huge price to protect them.
At that moment, anger welled up within the two of them simultaneously. They started to harbor hatred for those disciples that had offended Mo Wen. If not for them, such a thing would not have happened!


The few of them were imagining Mo Wen to be infinitely scary. However, Mo Wen was laughing bitterly to himself inside. Only he knew that although the Divine Soul Trillion Layers was effective against ancient martial art practitioners that were lower than the Golden Elixir realm, it was limited to only the Soul attack.
Moreover, once he had unleashed the Soul attack, he would not have the ability to unleash any other techniques. For an ancient martial art practitioner with the Golden Elixir realm like Yin Banshuang, a normal attack would definitely not be able to kill her off. Even if he had a spiritual weapon at hand, if it was not matched with spiritual power and good control over the mind, there would not be any power to it. It would then only be equivalent to normal divine weapons.
To an ancient martial art practitioner with the Golden Elixir realm, it was very difficult to achieve a one-off kill just solely based on the use of a spiritual weapon. If one did not execute a one-off kill on a Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner, there was not knowing how long the battle would drag on for.
Perhaps, he had the ability to kill Yin Banshuang. However, the price that he would have to pay was very high.
However, his current aim was not to kill Yin Banshuang. Rather, he wanted to scare people. Hence, he had intentionally caused more trouble than he had needed to so that he would be able to scare them into submission. That way, anyone who had any ideas of going against him would think twice about it. It was precisely because he lacked a reputation within the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension that even a normal disciple of Tong Luo Sect had dared to bully him.

You…
Yin Banshuang glared at him with her large eyes unblinkingly. The viciousness in her eyes had disappeared. The only things left were surprise and disbelief. It was as though she had seen a ghost.

The Soul attack, how did you do it?
she breathed out coldly and her eyes were fixed on Mo Wen.

You have rather good knowledge, but I cannot reveal that to you,
Mo Wen answered expressionlessly. It was rather amazing that Yin Banshuang could know about the Soul attack. Meanwhile, the two Deputy Sect Leaders of Tong Luo Sect, at least, did not know about it. At the moment, there was no need for him to hide the fact about the Soul attack. That was because, in the upcoming battle for the spiritual fire, he would reveal it sooner or later. It seemed impossible to continue hiding it.
The Soul attack was not the only attack he knew. Even if others found out about it, it would not affect him too badly.
Yin Banshuang looked at Mo Wen for a long time. It was as though she was looking at a rare animal. Only after a long time did her expression finally revert to normal.



Your Soul attack can affect at least an ancient martial art practitioner with the intermediate stage of the Golden Elixir realm, right?
Yin Banshuang asked a little curiously. She had lost her rude and unreasonable aura.

Woman, you are still no match for me. I don’t want to make things difficult for you either. If you are indignant, feel free to get your sect elders over. I actually want to see if your Five Beasts Sect actually has the ability to look down on and bully others.

Mo Wen declined to comment on Yin Banshuang’s question. His casual words had directed the fire towards Five Beasts Sect instead. Initially, he had simply wanted to make use of Tong Luo Sect to cause trouble. As Five Beasts Sect had now been dragged into the picture, he might as well change his target to Five Beasts Sect instead.
Clearly, by changing to Five Beasts Sect, he would be able to cause even greater trouble. Using the top sect in Green Ancient Mystery Dimension as a stepping stone should be sufficient to shock the entire Green Ancient Mystery Dimension.
Currently, Mo Wen was not afraid of things being blown up. In any case, in the coming battle for the spiritual fire, they could not leave out a fight between well-matched opponents. By then, when they each relied on their own capabilities, it was almost impossible to hide one’s weaknesses. Thus, he was not very hesitant.
He knew in his heart that with how precious the spiritual fire was, the journey to Tan Zi Beast Lair would not be an easy one. The things that it involved were perhaps even impossible for Chen Wuhui to imagine. After all, he was not an Immortal Cultivator so there was a limit to his knowledge.
This time, the fight for the spiritual fire would not be as simple as it appeared to be. It would definitely attract quite a number of mysterious people.
