Mo Wen had never doubted the abilities of Huatian Palace. However, it was too terrifying to think that a Martial Arts Grandmaster Hall was able to go against half the ancient martial arts world.

If they were facing an ordinary martial arts sect, the power of Huatian Palace would not seem as extreme. However, Huatian Palace’s opponents were the heretic forces. The abilities of the heretic forces were strong and hard to determine. Who knew how much power they had hidden? Even Mo Wen was shocked to discover that Huatian Palace’s abilities to take on their enemies remained the same even if all the heretic forces were to be included in the equation.

“You will understand what sort of existence Huatian Palace is in the future. If not for Huatian Palace, the worlds would have already been in chaos. The higher one’s position is, the greater the responsibility. If you were to join the Martial Arts Grandmaster Hall, there would be a corresponding responsibility for you to bear. But I am certain that the Martial Arts Grandmaster Hall is the best place to cultivate. With your talents, the chances of you becoming an immortal would be high if you were to cultivate in the Martial Arts Grandmaster Hall,” Mo Qingtian said meaningfully, as he looked at the teacup in his hand.

“What responsibilities are there for a person joining the Martial Arts Grandmaster Hall?” Mo Wen asked curiously.

“Don’t worry. The management of Huatian Palace is very relaxed. There is not much of a difference in the management of the Martial Arts Grandmaster Hall and the other four main palace halls. At most, they are slightly stricter on important matters. In actual fact, the Martial Arts Grandmaster Hall is the core strength behind Huatian Palace’s management of the ancient martial arts world. The things that the four main palace halls come into contact with cannot be compared to the things we come into contact with. The Martial Arts Grandmaster Hall rarely takes in those with too many connections with ancient martial arts sects. But you are the exception. Even though you have already established your own faction, you are still young and there are endless possibilities. You might not only be restricted to the ancient martial arts world.”

Mo Qingtian looked at Mo Wen meaningfully. It was obvious what the perspective of Huatian Palace was. Huatian Palace was interested in nurturing Mo Wen and helping him to become an exceptional warrior. Once he became an immortal, he would not have much to do with regular martial arts sects. Even if he did, it would not be about anything important given his level.

“Did you come to me just to persuade me to join the Martial Arts Grandmaster Hall?” Mo Wen asked lightly. There would have been no need for Mo Qingtian to have come personally just to discuss this matter.

“That’s right,” Mo Qingtian said, nodding. “Since you asked, I won’t waste my time. I came to you because I need your help with something.”

“Oh! What is it?” Mo Wen looked at Mo Qingtian in surprise.

Mo Qingtian was not a simple person. Even Mo Wen could not see him through completely. Furthermore, Mo Qingtian represented the Huatian Palace. What help did such a huge entity need from him? Could he deal with something the Huatian Palace could not?

“I have heard a little about some of your experiences in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. I am not interested in how you united all the sects in the dimension, and neither is Huatian Palace. However, we are interested in your experience in the Fire Domain.

Mo Qingtian played with the purple sand teacup in his hand and focused his gaze on Mo Wen. Huatian Palace took what had happened in the Fire Domain extremely seriously.

“You all are really well informed.” Mo Wen’s pupils shrank and his muscles tightened slightly. He had forgotten about Huatian Palace. It was impossible for them not to take notice of such a major event in the Fire Domain. With Huatian Palace’s position in the world, they probably knew about many things in the Fire Domain. They might even know about some hidden things.

What Mo Wen was slightly worried about was how Huatian Palace would treat this matter. If they had any ideas and planned to do something to him…

“Rest assured. Huatian Palace does not have any ill-intentions towards you. You don’t have to guess what they want either. Huatian Palace has a long history and has not done anything that goes against their principles. Since Huatian Palace manages this area, and such a major incident happened within it, the palace has to find out what happened to ensure the safety and stability of the future.”

“To be honest, once the news of what happened in the Fire Domain spread, Huatian Palace immediately sent envoys to check out the situation. However, for some reason, when the envoys reached the Fire Domain, it had already been completely destroyed by an unknown force. The ancient ruins of immortal cultivators have disappeared completely as well.”

Mo Qingtian’s eyes shone. No ordinary force could destroy ancient ruins completely. Not even immortal cultivators could do that, much less ordinary warriors. Only some extremely powerful immortal cultivators had that power.

Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for such a being to exist in the main world. Once such an existence appeared in the main world, Huatian Palace would have received news about it. As such, the power that had removed all traces of the ancient ruins was definitely a power left behind from the past.

It would have been fine if this sort of power was a single occurrence. However, if it was in the control of certain life forms, and there were uncertainties surrounding it, then it was a great threat to this world.

“The ancient ruins have disappeared completely?” Mo Wen was shocked. Was something wrong with the Fighting Spirit Tower and the Star Emperor archaeological site?

“Not a single trace could be found. It should be impossible. That is why I came to find you and ask you about your experience there,” Mo Qingtian said.

“You are worried that this could pose a threat to Huatian Palace?” Mo Wen frowned. He was not stupid. This situation was indeed unusual. Ordinary people would not be able to do something like this.

“That’s right.” Mo Qingtian nodded.

“I did have some experience in the ancient ruin. However, my experiences and knowledge are limited. If there are secrets surrounding that ancient ruin, then even if I told you everything, it would be useless.” Mo Wen shook his head. “If possible, I would like to keep my experiences in the ancient ruin a secret.”

He had gone through a lot in the ancient ruin, and it was related to the destroyed building’s legacy. Who knew if Huatian Palace would come to have different ideas in the future? He was just mortal. If Huatian Palace attempted to do anything to him, he did not have the ability to fight back. As such, he would not actively tell Huatian Palace about this.

Mo Qingtian frowned. He muttered to himself for a long while before he said, “It seems that you must have gained something in the ancient ruin. Since you do not trust Huatian Palace, I won’t force you to say anything. However, your refusal to tell us about your experience is against the rules of Huatian Palace. I can find a way to ease the rules for you. But there is one thing you have to do.”

“What is it?” Mo Wen relaxed. As long as Huatian Palace did not try to make him tell them what happened, he could accept any other conditions.

“You met the team led by Executor Fu Qing on your way back. I trust that you know some things about the recent moves made by the Ghost Lair. It was fortunate that you were there then, or Huatian Palace would definitely have suffered heavy losses.”

“After an investigation, Huatian Palace found out that the Ghost Lair is planning something big that will affect many people. Actually, you have taken a task related to the Ghost Lair before. They had already begun to set up then.”

Mo Qingtian’s expression was grave as he spoke. What the Ghost Lair wanted was definitely something unusual, or they would not dare to act so brazenly before Huatian Palace.

“Oh, so what is the goal of the Ghost Lair?” Mo Wen asked with a frown. He had known that the Ghost Lair was planning something when he had investigated them in the past. He had almost implicated all the members of the Fengwu Team when he investigated the Ghost Lair. He had thought that Huatian Palace would deal with the situation as soon as possible. However, he did not expect the Ghost Lair to be well prepared. Even Huatian Palace could not find any weaknesses they were able to exploit for the time being.

“I don’t know what goals the Ghost Lair have. But I am certain that what they want is something huge. It is possible that they are coming for Huatian Palace. Huatian Palace has already issued the highest order to put in all effort to stop the Ghost Lair.

“Then why have you come to look for me?” Mo Wen asked in confusion. This was such a grave matter. There did not seem to be any difference whether he joined in or not.

“Did you receive a Ten Thousand Soul Banner in the Fighting Spirit Tower? And is this a treasure belonging to the commander of the Ghost Lair?” A hint of a smile appeared on Mo Qingtian’s lips. Even though he had not experienced the game of life and death in the Fighting Spirit Tower, he had been able to find out everything that happened inside from the other warriors. The Ghost Lair’s leader losing his Ten Thousand Soul Banner had already become a joke amongst some of the top-level warriors.

“You are really well-informed. The Ten Thousand Soul Banner is indeed with me. However, what do the Ghost Lair’s plans have to do with the Ten Thousand Soul Banner?”

Mo Wen was not at all surprised that Mo Qingtian knew about some things that had happened in the Fighting Spirit Tower. It was near impossible for ordinary warriors to find out about something like this, but amongst the top-level warriors, some things about what happened in the Fighting Spirit Tower must have spread.

“Do you remember the investigative mission at the Taihang Mountains? It had something to do with the Ghost Lair, and you participated in it then.”

The mission that Mo Qingtian was talking about was the mission in which Pei Fengwu and the entire Fengwu team had almost died at the Ghost Lair’s hands. Then, Huatian Palace had suspected that the Ghost Lair had set up a secret altar in the Taihang Mountains. However, Pei Fengwu and the others realized that it was a trap when they went to investigate.

“Actually, the Ghost Lair’s real altar is indeed in the Taihang Mountains. However, it is hidden very well. It was hidden so well that Huatian Palace did not even think about it then.” Mo Qingtian said lightly.

“You mean the Ghost Lair really built their altar in the Taihang Mountains? Were we looking at the wrong place then?” Mo Wen asked in surprise.

“It is not that we were looking in the wrong place. It is just that we never expected that the Ghost Lair would be able to hide their altar so well.” Mo Qingtian smiled bitterly.

“Where was the altar hidden?”

“In the seams between spaces.”

“What!” Mo Wen was shocked. Building the altar in the seams between spaces? How was that possible? Even though he was not an immortal cultivator, he had some knowledge of the seams between spaces. Even some powerful immortal cultivators found it hard to survive in the seams between spaces. How was it possible for the Ghost Lair to build their altar there?

“It will become clear when we go to take a look at it. Huatian Palace has already made the preparations. We just need the help of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner in your hands. Furthermore, aren’t you looking for two missing girls? There’s a girl that has fallen into the Ghost Lair’s hands. Her physical constitution is a little special. The Ghost Lair has been capturing girls with special physical constitutions to activate the sacrificial ritual.”
