Chapter 571: The Truth is as Such
“So Old Monster, you were finally willing to teach someone your 27 Hand Great Fists Skill. I thought that you would even bring it to your grave! Hahaha!” laughed Lin Cangbo heartily at Mo Kongyuan as they traveled together in the same carriage.
“I also did it because I had no other choice,” replied Mo Kongyuan with a bitter laugh.
“What do you mean? Could it be that there actually is someone under the sky who can force your hand?” asked Lin Cangbo in confusion.
“That is not the case,” said Mo Kongyuan as he shook his head. Then he asked seriously, “Brother Lin, what are your thoughts on this particular Guardian Gathering?”
“In the beginning, when I heard that there were odd changes at Little Silver Ancient Mountain, I thought that there must be some kind of a sinister plot behind Chu Fengyun’s invitation. However, from what I’ve seen today, I am afraid that something bad really has happened at Little Silver Ancient Mountain,” answered Lin Cangbo as his gaze also turned solemn.
“That’s right. Which is why I am worried. This trip to Little Silver Ancient Mountain is inevitable, and I am afraid that it will be hard for me to return without any harm being done to me. Passing Ling Chuxi the mantle this time by bringing her to Ding Lin Country, is also a way to allow her to pass the test from the rest of you. In case anything happens to me, let Ling Chuxi take my place as Nan Xia Country’s guardian,” said Mo Kongyuan leisurely.
“Brother Mo, aren’t you thinking too much? Although the monster beasts in Little Ancient Silver Mountain are powerful, with all of our cultivation put together, retreating without injuries shouldn’t be a problem. Furthermore, if things really do reach a point where the situation is unable to be dealt with, all the sects would not watch on without assisting,” said Lin Cangbo after some thought.
“What I am truly worried about is not the matter of the monster beasts in Little Silver Ancient Mountain, instead I am worried about—is Chu Fengyun!” said Mo Kongyuan as his gaze turned cold.
“The matter of Little Silver Ancient Mountain is related to the safety of millions of ordinary citizens across various countries. It is impossible for Chu Fengyun to use such a matter as a wager, right?” said Lin Cangbo in disbelief.
“In order for him to dominate the world, even if he did so, so what? Furthermore, the odd changes at Little Silver Ancient Mountain is not necessarily unrelated to him,” continued Mo Kongyuan coldly.
Lin Cangbo fell silent. The more he thought about it, the more shocked he was. If things were truly as Mo Kongyuan has said, and the odd changes at Little Silver Ancient Mountain was indeed related to Chu Fengyun, then the conclusion of such matters were truly hard to tell.
“Even if he dared to take action, how could it be that we would be afraid of him?” said Lin Cangbo after falling into silence for a moment.
“There is one thing that you don’t know, he has already found a way to resolve my 27 Hand Great Fists Skill,” said Mo Kongyuan.
“Impossible,” Lin Cangbo replied with a shake of his head the moment Mo Kongyuan finished speaking. Mo Kongyuan’s 27 Hand Great Fists Skill was known as a top-notch skill even amongst all the six country guardians. How could it be something that was so easily resolved?
“I have seen his disciple, Feng Zitian, and Ling Chuxi exchange blows. Although the martial arts technique Feng Zitian executed cannot thoroughly resolve my Great Fists Skill, it indeed poses a very strong restraint to it. If such a martial arts tecnique were to be used by Chu Fengyun, it would be hard to predict who would win and who would lose,” shared Mo Kongyuan.
“Not right. That is not right. I understand Chu Fengyun more than you. If it were not for a unique encounter he had during his youth, he would not even have the qualifications to be a guardian. It is absolutely impossible that he could have thought of a technique to resolve your Great Fists Skill,” said Lin Cango determinedly as he shook his head.
“However, the truth is as such. Unless you are saying you don’t believe my words,” countered Mo Kongyuan with a frown.
Lin Cangbo once again fell silent. He naturally believed Mo Kongyuan’s words, but to say that Chu Fengyun could devise a martial arts technique that could resolve the Great Fists Skill, no matter what, he had trouble believing it.
“If it was not him who came up with it, could it be that someone else had thought it out for him? Who would it be if that was the case?” wondered Lin Cangbo aloud with a frown. Mo Kongyuan’s expression also changed slightly. Both of their hearts sank. This Guardian Gathering was indeed not so simple a matter.
