Chapter 1243: Chapter 1234: Trouble for the Du Family
“We found you in the mountains, you were seriously injured and unconscious at the time. How are you feeling now?” Du Xinyue looked at Mo Wangchen and asked with a smile.
Mo Wangchen cupped his hands in gratitude, feeling quite thankful to Du Xinyue. In such chaotic times, there are few who would lend a helping hand like hers. “Thank you for your concern, I am mostly fine now. The internal injuries should heal after a few more days.”
The Void Power had destroyed everything that day, even collapsing the Time Channel. Mo Wangchen was caught in the turbulent flow and naturally suffered the impact of creation.
If it weren’t for possessing the Divine King Body, he might have already been torn apart by the wild void’s great power.
Being able to survive and arrive in the Void Realm is already a great fortune!
“Uncle Ze said you came from the Land of Desolate and encountered a space storm in the transmission channel. Since your injuries haven’t healed, you can stay at my Du Family for a few days to recuperate,” Du Xinyue suggested.
Mo Wangchen did not refuse. He had lost contact with Emperor Huang and the others in the Void Realm and was still unclear about many things. He could first get some information from the Du Family before looking for Emperor Huang and the others.
Emperor Huang and the others safely passed the storm corridor and should be safe. If all goes well, he should see them once he reaches the Land of Desolate.
Wanhong City, surrounded by mountains, offers picturesque scenery with bustling traffic and throngs of people.
This is merely a small city in Ming Land, Ning State. Compared to the entire great world, the cultivators passing through Wanhong City are of relatively low cultivation.
Most people’s cultivation is merely at the Emperor Realm, with only a small portion reaching the Immortal Realm, most of whom are Void Immortals. Walking through the city, Mo Wangchen noticed that there were at most a dozen True Immortal Realm strongmen.
As for Heavenly Immortals, they are almost considered top experts in Wanhong City.
The Du Family is one of the two major families of Wanhong City. The current Family Head, Du Qianhai, Xinyue’s father, is the only expert who has reached the Heavenly Immortal Realm in the Du Family.
With Du Qianhai’s Early Stage Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivation, he is already considered extraordinary across Ning State.
The Void Realm is vast, and beyond Ning State, there are thousands of large and small continents forming the entire Ming Land.
In the entire Void Realm, there are a total of eight such regions as Ming Land, each ruled by one of the eight Divine Clans.
“Has Miss Du returned?”
Shortly after Mo Wangchen and the group entered the city, an elder approached from the front.
Upon seeing this elder, Du Xinyue, Du Ze, and the others couldn’t help but frown, and Du Xinyue said coldly, “Great Elder Wang He, is there something you need?”
“Hehe, Miss Du left Wanhong City for over half a month. I heard you attended the assessment at the ‘Outer Heaven Sect,’ and now you’ve returned. If I’m not mistaken, you probably failed the assessment and didn’t secure a spot, right?” The elder known as Great Elder Wang He said.
“This has nothing to do with you. Please step aside.” Du Xinyue replied with a cold snort, showing no face.
The Wang Family, like the Du Family, is one of the two major families in Wanhong City. Over the years, the two families have had many conflicts. Wang He is the Great Elder of the Wang Family and a True Immortal Realm expert.
“Hehe, Miss Du, the Outer Heaven Sect is just one of the three Sacred Lands in Ning State. In just over a month, the Qianyuan Sect, one of the other Sacred Lands, will also hold an assessment. Our Wang Family’s Young Master is currently an Inner Sect Disciple of the Qianyuan Sect. With his help, you can certainly join the Qianyuan Sect for cultivation, so why be so stubborn?” Wang He laughed.
“The Du and Wang families have long been at odds. Wang Yuanfei may be an Inner Sect Disciple of the Qianyuan Sect, but what does that have to do with the Du Family? Not long ago, he came to our Du Family with the intent of forcing Miss Du to marry. Don’t think we don’t know about your Wang Family’s ambitions; you just want to merge the Du Family through this,”
Before Du Xinyue could speak, Du Ze stood out and coldly said.
Wang Yuanfei, the current Young Master of the Wang Family, is the son of the Wang Family’s contemporary Family Head. A few years ago, he joined the Qianyuan Sect, one of the three Sacred Lands of Ning State, and has now become an Inner Sect Disciple, elevating the Wang Family’s status.
Recently, Wang Yuanfei returned from the Qianyuan Sect and attempted to force Du Xinyue into marriage. If the Du Family had not firmly resisted, Du Xinyue would likely have already fallen into the Wang Family’s control.
For years, the two families have been in overt and covert competition, evenly matched, and neither can uproot the other.
But now things are different. With Wang Yuanfei as an Inner Sect Disciple of the Qianyuan Sect, the Du Family faces the danger of falling due to the Qianyuan Sect’s backing.
Not long ago, there was news of the Outer Heaven Sect recruiting disciples, so Du Xinyue wanted to try her luck. If she successfully joined the Outer Heaven Sect, she wouldn’t have to fear the Qianyuan Sect behind the Wang Family as much.
Unfortunately, Du Xinyue failed the assessment at the Outer Heaven Sect and couldn’t join it. On her way back, she happened to encounter the seriously injured and unconscious Mo Wangchen.
“How can a marriage between two families mean annexation? With our Young Master’s current status and standing, if he could marry Miss Xinyue, wouldn’t that be a good thing for your Du Family? Don’t be ungrateful.” Wang He sneered.
“Uncle Ze, don’t waste words with him, let’s go.” Du Xinyue held back Du Ze, who still wanted to say something, shook her head, and then led the Du family members away from there.
“What’s the story behind this Qianyuan Sect?”
On the way to the Du Family, Mo Wangchen couldn’t help but ask. Du Xinyue had saved him, and if he could help, he wouldn’t mind lending a hand.
“It’s one of the three Sacred Lands within Ning State, incredibly powerful, with countless Heavenly Immortal Realm Great Powers. Now with the Wang Family backed by the Qianyuan Sect, it’s truly not a good thing for our Du Family.” Du Ze sighed.
“Does it have an Ancient God Great Power overseeing it?” Mo Wangchen asked again.
Upon hearing this, Du Ze was momentarily stunned, then shook his head, “Across the eight lands of the world, there are only a few hundred Ancient God Great Powers. Though Ning State is large, it’s only one of the relatively weaker continents in Ming Land. Among the three Sacred Lands, only the Outer Heaven Sect has an Ancient God, but there are absolutely many strong Heavenly Immortal Realm experts.”
Hearing this, Mo Wangchen nodded. Since this so-called Qianyuan Sect lacks an Ancient God Great Power overseeing it, he didn’t have much to worry about.
Anyway, Du Xinyue helped him, and now that the Du Family is in trouble, he naturally can’t just stand by.
The Wang Family alone isn’t much of a threat; it’s the Qianyuan Sect that deserves attention. But as long as the Qianyuan Sect lacks an Ancient God Great Power, the issue isn’t insurmountable for Mo Wangchen.
Before leaving, it seems he must first help the Du Family resolve these troubles, as he’s unwilling to owe anyone any debt of gratitude.
