Puff! Puff! Puff!
Before the gazing crowd of multitudes, the silhouettes kneeled, one at a time, and paid obeisance to the Celestial Body. It was innate in all Sorcerer Clan members, and they would find it impossible to resist the overwhelming will that required them to be supplicant to that greater force of the Immemorial Sorcery Clan. It was in their bloodlines, embedded deep within the marrow of their bones.
It did not matter if the cultivators belonged to the Muhong City clans or the Yingyun City’s. As long as any of them were members of the Sorcerer Clan on Yingyun Island, they were all kneeling. Only cultivators at the Tide Changing Realm and above could withstand the effects of that calling, and even so, they barely managed.
“Immemorial Sorcery Qi! It is actually the aura of the Immemorial Sorcerer Clan. How is it possible!”
Huai Hongxiu’s mind went blank. She had to hold herself up with both her hands, propped against the city wall as she kept mumbling to herself. The Huai Clan second young mistress was beside her, and she only possessed levels of cultivation at the beginning stage of the Tide Changing realm. Although she had not knelt down, she was also clinging on to the city wall. Only by doing so could she maintain her upright position.
For the Sorcerer Clan members, that aura was too overpowering, and its suppressive power was exceedingly strong.
Mo Wen hovered in the air and scanned down at the people kneeling everywhere. This was not what he had expected to see, and he had a slightly stunned expression. From what he saw, at least 99% of the people on Yingyun Island were kneeling. They were trembling as they were prostrated themselves on the ground, appearing to be in some form of thralldom or bondage. It looked to him that they were worshipping him.
“The Immemorial Sorcerer Clan. How is it possible?”
The mayor of Muhong City clenched his teeth and stared blankly at Mo Wen in disbelief, staying still and silent at the very spot he stood when he first encountered the thousand-foot tall Giant. The Immemorial Sorcerer Clan. They were living creatures from the Immemorial Age, and they were ancient and mysterious. Since the Primeval Age, no one had ever seen a silhouette of the Immemorial Sorcerer Clan. They had only heard of the deeds of the Immemorial Sorcerer Clan from some old tales and legends.
The Immemorial Sorcerer Clan was one of the most successful prosperous clans during the Immemorial Age. It was comparable to the Immemorial Demon Clan. Although the current Sorcerer Clan had inherited some powers of the Immemorial Sorcerer Clan, it could not be considered as a pure sect belonging to Immemorial Sorcerer Clan. At the most, the bloodline was only half that of a descendant of the Immemorial Sorcerer Clan.
The Immemorial Sorcerer Clan?
Mo Wen glanced at the mayor of Muhong City with a questioning look. Since when had Mo Wen become a member of the Immemorial Sorcerer Clan? As he looked at the Sorcerer Clan cultivators kneeling on the ground, he had a sudden realization. Could it be that the supreme Giant that he had encountered in the primeval space was a member of the Immemorial Sorcerer Clan?
That was the only explanation. The Immemorial Sorcerer Clan had long disappeared from the world. In all the realms, it was hard to say whether or not there were remnants of the Immemorial Sorcerer Clan that had survived since that Age. But, in the primeval space, the world that was created by the Sacred Heart Lady, among all that had been imprisoned, there were figures of the Immemorial Age. It was therefore not strange for a member of the Immemorial Sorcerer Clan to appear there.
Mo Wen concluded that the supreme Giant that emanated peerless-heavenly-might back then was most likely a member of the Immemorial Sorcerer Clan. Only they could possess such might.
“Are you from the Immemorial Sorcerer Clan? Or have you cultivated pure immemorial-sorcery techniques?” The mayor of Muhong City stared into Mo Wen’s eyes.
Immemorial-Sorcery Qi could only appear in two situations. One was when that Immemorial-Sorcery Qi was handed down from a member of the Sorcerer Clan through a bloodline inheritance, going all the way back to the Immemorial Age. That the other situation was when a human later cultivated other forms of pure sorcery after the Immemorial Age. And only through continuous and arduous cultivation could they hope to cultivate Immemorial-Sorcery Qi.
As the Sorcerer Clan developed over the ages until the present day, various sorcery emerged through its continuous efforts to regain mastery over the powers of Immemorial-sorcery. Many Sorcerer Clan sorceries were developed by immortal cultivators that came after the Immemorial Sorcerer Clan. Such sorceries were comparatively less complicated, and could even be cultivated by ordinary humans. Among the current Sorcerer Clan, 99% of the sorceries were developed after the immemorial Sorcerer Clan’s fall. Aside from this type of sorcery, the other was the sorceries passed down since the Immemorial Age. These sorceries that had existed since the Immemorial Age were known as immemorial-sorcery techniques.
However, in the present day, immemorial-sorcery techniques were becoming rarer. Only a few Sorcerer Clan Mighty Immortal Cultivators had them. Ordinary cultivators could only dream of having them.
It was one thing if the youth had just cultivated immemorial-sorcery techniques, but it still meant that the background of this youth was far more incredible than the mayor of Muhong City had imagined. However, if the young man was indeed a member of the Immemorial Sorcerer Clan, that would be most terrifying. Among the Sorcerer Clan’s inner circles, there had always been legends that there remained a small group of remnants from the Immemorial Sorcerer Clan bloodlines. They had chosen to stay incognito, and only members at the pinnacle of the Sorcerer Clan knew about the whereabouts of these individuals.
The mayor of Muhong City clearly knew that if he killed a member of the Immemorial Sorcerer Clan, the consequences would be dangerous and might even prove fatal. He would indeed be shunned by the entire Sorcerer Clan and likely hunted down.
“Why should I tell you?” Mo Wen asked calmly.
In reality, Mo Wen himself was not aware of what was going on.
“Let’s come to a compromise. I will no longer invade Yingyun City, and we will forget this conflict that has taken place between us once and for all. How about it?” The mayor of Muhong City said, losing his courage and mettle. Be it a member of the Immemorial Sorcerer Clan or a person who cultivated immemorial-sorcery techniques, the mayor could not afford to offend either one. Even if he killed this youth, it would be difficult for the mayor to escape with his life. The Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield was only as vast as it was; where could he flee to?
Right now, the mayor of Muhong City was already withdrawing his forces completely. He no longer coveted the treasures of Mo Wen. No matter how desirable the treasures were, they were not as precious as his life.
The mayor of Muhong City was making the assumption that Mo Wen was a genuine member of the Immemorial Sorcerer Clan. As he saw it, even though cultivating immemorial-sorcery techniques could create some Immemorial Sorcery Qi, it would not be as powerful and overwhelming as what he had just witnessed. Just by emanating his aura, Mo Wen already had all the Sorcerer Clan cultivators below the Tide Changing Realm kneeling down. Even he, the mayor of Muhong City, could feel the force and had his heart in his throat. He was now in anguish, and his heart trembled.
The mayor of Muhong City chose to compromise by negotiating a truce and an immediate retreat. To a large degree, it was due to the effects of the aura that even he was deeply affected by. To think that this youth was only a Tide Changing Realm cultivator, wasn’t that too unbelievable? If Mo Wen was a pureblood member of the Immemorial Sorcerer Clan, his aura should not have been so intimidating. After all, this youth possessed only the Tide Changing Realm levels of cultivation.
The mayor of Muhong City did not say this out loud. Right now, he only had one thought in mind: to make good his escape from this conundrum and get as far as possible away from this youth. It would be best if they never saw each other again in this lifetime.
“Compromise? However, I do not believe you. It is more meaningful to me if I can quickly solve all our problems, and I can do that by just killing you. Isn’t that easier? Why don’t we change the terms? Kill yourself, and I can let the others from Muhong City go. How about it?” Mo Wen asked calmly.
Mo We did not trust the mayor of Muhong City at all. On the surface, the mayor of Muhong City appeared to be negotiating for peace, but who knew what ill intentions he had in mind. If he was only trying to stall for time, it would only cause trouble for Mo Wen.
“Don’t push your luck.”
The mayor of Muhong City was enraged, this youth was too aggressive! Who was the Supreme Profundity Realm cultivator here? Who was taking the lead in the battle? This youth was actually asking him to commit suicide in exchange for the lives of the citizens of Muhong City? Even as the mayor, if he couldn’t survive this himself, would he even be thinking about Muhong City? This youth was joking with him, right?
“Then, I have no other choice. Between you and me, we must decide who lives and who dies.”
Mo Wen shrugged. Earlier, his strategy was to wear out the mayor of Muhong City to death. Now that he realized his Celestial Body had a significant suppressive effect on the mayor, Mo Wen could not let this opportunity pass him by. At least now, the chances of killing the mayor of Muhong City had increased by fifty percent. Mo Wen had never imagined that the Celestial Body would give him such a great advantage……
