Invincible Kungfu Healer

Chapter 951: Move a Thousand Miles Away

The Tianjue Ruins! Mo Wen looked down expressionlessly. No one knew what he was thinking.

The desert and forest that Hu Hong mentioned were different from the snow plains and seas that Mo Wen remembered. However, he felt that the Tianjue Ruins was likely to be where his hometown was. He had once traveled for four to five days in the snow plains and encountered hidden dangers there. Even though he found it odd and hard to believe that he managed to emerge safely, the mysteries of that place had left a deep impression on him.

According to what Hu Hong said, The Tianjue Ruins were the only thing that was so mysterious in a hundred-mile radius. His hometown was most likely there.

However, he would need to verify if that was true. But his abilities were weak at the moment. He would have to investigate the truth later.

“My last question is: is this an inner world? Or is this some other world?”

There was a glint of light in Mo Wen’s eyes. Based on his observations, this world was not an ordinary one. It was not ordinary at all.

“What? You’re asking what world this is?” Hu Hong looked at Mo Wen weirdly. The man lived in this world, but did not know what world it was! Could it be that the young man was not from this world? A very serious problem suddenly occurred to Hu Hong. Only a person who did not belong in this world and had appeared in it suddenly would ask such a question.

“Just answer my question.” Mo Wen frowned slightly.

“My Lord, the history of this world is very long. It can be traced back to ancient times. It is the Peng Lai Immortal Realm,” Hu Hong answered respectfully. Even though he was filled with doubts, he did not dare to slight a powerhouse in the Primordial Soul Realm.

“This is the Peng Lai Immortal Realm!”

Mo Wen’s eyes flashed with shock. He knew that this world was extraordinary and had considered many possibilities. However, he never imagined this place to be Peng Lai Immortal Realm!

The reason was that the Huatian Palace had blocked off this space from the outside to protect it. Anyone who wanted to enter Peng Lai Immortal Realm had to go through the Huatian Palace. Without its travel permit, not even an immortal cultivator in the Tide Changing Realm could enter the Peng Lai Immortal Realm.

The Peng Lai Immortal Realm was the last pure land of the source world. It could be said to be the source of the universe, and was connected to the life and death of worlds. Huatian Palace had always rigorously enforced the management of the Peng Lai Immortal Realm.

Mo Wen had never expected to find that his hometown would be in Peng Lai Immortal Realm. Furthermore, he was able to enter and exit at will.

Legends held that the Peng Lai Immortal Realm was the last and only pure land of the source world. In ancient times, it was known to be a sacred land for cultivation. However, many years had passed, and things have changed. The Peng Lai Immortal Realm was no longer what it had been, and it was far from being a sacred land. Yet, this immortal realm had once been through the War of the Middle Age and had been saved from that war. As such, there were many mysteries surrounding it.

One could say that the Peng Lai Immortal Realm was a rather complicated place. Even Huatian Palace could not completely take its helm. For example, the Huatian Palace could not interfere with the three major ruins here. Furthermore, it was said that foundations of the Underworld, the Devil Kingdom, and the Demon Realm in the source world were in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm. For example, the Altar of Demonic Sky was hidden in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm.

Of course, the Hades Mountain of the Ghost Lair were also in this realm. The various Ghost Kings of different periods could all take up the position of guardian inside the Hades Mountain.

There was also the mysterious Demon Native that was told in legends. It was also hidden in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm.

There was a Jianghu community here. It was a Jianghu that involved the various worlds.

“My Lord, do you still have any questions?” Hu Hong asked cautiously. He grew nervous as Mo Wen remained silent. A powerful person like Mo Wen could often be unpredictable. He might start killing people if they were not careful. Being close to the emperor was like being close to a tiger because of how powerful the emperor was. Similarly, to such a mighty powerhouse, killing a person was no different from squishing an ant.

“Move your army to a thousand miles away from here. You are not to advance south in the next year. Then, you can go.”

Mo Wen spoke lightly. The soldiers of Fengyu were vicious and cruel. The people of Xiping had suffered plenty. Mo Wen could make the army retreat to a thousand miles away for a year and allow Xiping to recover. In that way, they would not lose too miserably and cause his fellow citizens to suffer as well.

Mo Wen did not want to interfere too much in matters between countries unless he were to destroy one. However, that was impossible. He did not have the ability to do that. And even if he could, he would not do something like that.

“My Lord, Donghe Prefecture has a common practice. Powerhouses of the Primordial Soul Realm cannot interfere in wars between countries. Matters between countries are usually decided by those countries. Furthermore, Fengyu does not bear any enmity toward you, and Xiping probably has nothing much to do with you, either. Why are you protecting Xiping and making things difficult for Fengyu?”

Hu Hong’s expression changed when he heard what Mo Wen said. He mustered his courage to say all those things. Moving a thousand miles away and not moving south for a year meant that all their previous efforts would be wasted. The greatest goal of Fengyu in moving southward was to take over Xiping. They were so close they could almost see it – but now, they had to turn back. Who would be willing to do that?

“Are you questioning my words?” A cold glint flashed in Mo Wen’s eyes.

Hu Hong shuddered and felt a sinister cold Qi hurtling toward him. The cold entered his bones and he felt as if even his soul was about to freeze. It was as if he was about to die and his soul would be obliterated, just with a look from Mo Wen.

“Please don’t be angry. I will withdraw the troops immediately.”

Hu Hong sweated profusely. He had been a general for many years and knew that a wise man did not fight when the odds were obviously against him. If he dared to defy Mo Wen, then he would probably die. He could only do as Mo Wen said.

“Scram.”

Mo Wen waved his hand, and all the soldiers, including Hu Hong, were tossed into the air. They flew more than a hundred miles away and then fell from the sky. It was no different from what the tribune had experienced earlier.

...

...

“This is preposterous!”

In a session of the court in Fengyu, the emperor slammed his dragon throne forcefully. He looked enraged.

He had recently received an urgent letter from the vanguard commander. Someone had single-handedly stopped Fengyu’s expedition to the south.

Even though that person was a powerhouse in the Primordial Soul Realm, the emperor found it hard to swallow his pride in such a situation.

Anyone who stopped the country from expanding its territories was an enemy of the empire.

“Your Majesty, please don’t be angry. What happened?”

An officer on his left asked this, somewhat shocked. He was the prime minister of Fengyu , the head of all its officials, and managed various matters in the country. He understood the emperor rather well. He was a good ruler, which was rare in Fengyu’s history. The emperor aspired to be benevolent, to have a strong army, and to make the country wealthy. He had doubled Fengyu’s power over the last ten years. Otherwise, how else would they be able to beat up Xiping so badly?
