Chapter 558 - The Carefree, Uninhibited Back

“Merely mediocre?” repeated Mo Kongyuan leisurely as he shook his head. “Tens of thousands of years ago, there was once a monster beast frenzy and tens of millions of powerful monster beasts flooded into various countries. Never mind each of the individual country’s armies, even each individual country’s guardian was helpless against them.”

“How powerful. What happened later on?” It was the first time that Ling Chuxi had heard of this secret happening and asked for more information in curiosity. If even the guardians were helpless, one could imagine how much stronger those monster beasts were as compared to those she had personally encountered.

“Later on, it was a good thing that all the various sects then revealed themselves in order to work together to chase many of the monster beasts into the Silver Ancient Mountain Range. It was just that even with the cultivation level of all the various sects combined, they were actually unable to kill these monster beasts and could only bind them in place at Little Silver Ancient Mountain, thus recovering peace for the mainland. For this reason, Little Silver Ancient Mountain became a great forbidden area in the mainland. And those monster beasts you’ve encountered were merely the few fishes that have slipped through the net. They practically cannot be mentioned in the same breath as the others within Little Silver Ancient Mountain.

Even with the efforts of all those various great sects working together, they could only manage to seal those beasts within a certain area. Ling Chuxi could only imagine how strong those monster beasts actually were. The strength of those sealed monster beasts was incomparable with the so-called strong monster beasts she had encountered.

“Feng Zitian said just now that there were odd changes in Little Silver Ancient Mountain. I have also noticed that. Those monster beasts have been bound for millions of years and I am fearful that they have become even stronger and fiercer than they were back then. If they were somehow allowed to enter all the various countries again, it is unknown how many innocent citizens will be deeply harmed,” said Mo Kongyuan in a soft voice.

“Mister Mo, would this be a trap?” asked Ling Chuxi, thinking deeply into the matter.

“Trap? Kekeke, do you know why Feng Zitian, Si Nanchen and E Shulan came to see me together? It was to pressure me. As a dignified guardian of a country, when one clearly knows that there are odd changes in Little Silver Ancient Mountain but yet remained indifferent, wouldn’t they be able to use such an excuse to take action against Nan Xia? However, they have underestimated me. Regardless of whether this is a trap or not, I will still go. I cannot make use of the lives of any person under the heavens to risk not going,” declared Mo Kongyuan seriously.

Ling Chuxi felt extremely respectful of Mo Kongyuan at this moment. Despite how Mo Kongyuan was usually so carefree and uninhibited, he held the world in mind. Knowing full well that this could possibly be a trap yet remaining determined and unmoving in his decision to proceed for the good of the people… Such a mindset made Ling Chuxi feel ashamed that she was not more like him.

“You should also come along with me to this upcoming Guardian Gathering,” said Mo Kongyuan directly.

“Me?” asked Ling Chuxi as she looked at Mo Kongyuan in surprise.

“Every guardian has their own unique understanding towards their own martial arts path. With your innate talent and comprehension abilities, you should be able to learn quite a bit there,” replied Mo Kongyuan.

“Your cultivation has already reached the Great Fulfilment Pinnacle stage and you only need an opportunity to be able to break through the bottleneck you are facing to be promoted into the realm of True Essence. The dangers of being promoted to the realm of True Essence is no less than the dangers of undergoing Heavenly Lightning Striking The Body. With me around, perhaps I could lend you a hand when the time comes.”

“Also, since you have already secretly learnt quite a bit of my 27 Hands Great Fists Skill, I might as well teach you everything else. On the way I can also guide you along a little,” continued Mo Kongyuan.

Ling Chuxi frowned as she looked at Mo Kongyuan. Why did she keep getting the feeling that his words had the hint of them being his last words? Could it be that he had some bad hunch about this whole thing?

“All right then, I will follow you to gain experience and see the things you speak of for myself,” said Ling Chuxi with a nod.

“This time, the both of you don’t need to go anywhere. Stay in Nan Xia Country properly. In case anything happens here, take care of it,” said Mo Kongyuan to Ling Yichen and Fu Chengyu.

His words made Ling Chuxi even more sure of her previous guess. Leaving Ling Yichen and Fu Chengyu in Nan Xia was firstly, to protect them and secondly, to protect the capital from harm.

Ling Chuxi felt extremely complicated emotions well up inside her. However, she also made up her mind to do all that she could and not allow anything bad to happen to Mo Kongyuan!
