Chapter 616: The World Is Small

Gao Hanshan had not anticipated that Mo Wen would actually dare to run. He immediately felt somewhat angered and amused that he had actually tried to escape from a Martial Arts Grandmaster. If Gao Hanshan actually let Mo Wen escape, he would not be able to show his face in the ancient martial art world.

What Gao Hanshan did not realize was that he was not the only Martial Arts Grandmaster who had recently tried to hunt Mo Wen down and that the last one to do so had failed.

Gao Hanshan’s figure flashed past and he appeared in the air above Mo Wen. He made a grab with his hand and an invisible palm could be sensed above Mo Wen, pressing down forcefully.

The palm was formed by the Martial Arts Grandmaster with the use of Protective Qi. It was a few hundred meters square in size and it would be impossible for people who were in its range to escape its clutches.

However, to Gao Hanshan’s surprise, stars and light suddenly streaked out from Mo Wen’s body. The next moment, Mo Wen’s body was like a twinkling star and he disappeared from his original spot. It was as though he had been teleported somewhere; he was simply gone with the wind.

The next moment, Mo Wen’s silhouette appeared on the magma ocean. The Gao Clan elders had absolutely no idea how he would have been able to do such a thing. They couldn’t even identify traces of his movement. They were clueless.

As a Martial Arts Grandmaster, Gao Hanshan had better eyesight than the others in his group. But he too could only vaguely see some mysterious tracks. Mo Wen’s figure moved in between those mysterious tracks and before Gao Hanshan could comprehend what was happening, Mo Wen had traveled a great distance.

Even Gao Hanshan would now not able to track Mo Wen’s movements. He would certainly not be able to catch up with him.

“Such deep and profound movement techniques.” Gao Hanshan expressed his astonishment once again. He had lost count of how many times he had felt shocked within such a short amount of time. He was dealing with a mere youth but Mo Wen had delivered many surprises.

In particular, Mo Wen’s Absolute Skills had given Gao Hanshan an unprecedented sense of shock. This youth was actually able to demonstrate such impossible movements. Exactly how high was his level of attainment in the martial arts?

The movement techniques that Mo Wen had just demonstrated were beyond Gao Hanshan’s understanding. Ordinary martial arts techniques should not be so mysterious!

“Mo Wen, come back. We mean you no harm.” Gao Hanshan ignored his pride as an ancient martial art practitioner. He had been testing Mo Wen but now had discovered an unparalleled radiance from him, the kind of radiance that could shock even a Martial Arts Grandmaster.

What would Mo Wen think of Gao Hanshan now? The youngster had always believed in himself rather than in religion and in other people. The influence of Gao Clan was huge and Mo Wen couldn’t really figure out exactly what their intention was now. It was better for him to keep his distance from them at the moment.

There was a splash.

Mo Wen dove straight into the magma ocean, seemingly not intending to return. It was a decisive action, leaving no room for discussion.

Gao Hanshan smiled bitterly. He hadn’t expected that Mo Wen would be so set on escaping. It was clear that he was dealing with someone who was decisive and resolute in his actions.

However, did this youth really think his ability was high enough to allow him to escape from a Martial Arts Grandmaster? Gao Hanshan’s mouth curled to form a smile. He did not believe that Mo Wen could escape from him.

“Since you don’t want to come back on your own, I will have to catch you.” Gao Hanshan shook his head and appeared on top of the magma ocean. However, he didn’t dive into it; instead, he took out a small jade seal slowly from his sleeve. It was none other than the Han Imperial Jade Seal.

The Gao Clan elders exchanged a glance and smiled. Mo Wen had belittled Gao Hanshan and was now going to face the consequences of doing so. When their sect leader decided to hunt down someone personally, even the three of them would most likely not be able to escape him. Mo Wen had no chance.

A jade light was emitted by the Han Imperial Jade Seal, projecting into the magma ocean. Gao Hanshan remained stationary on top of the scorching sea. However, under the projection of the jade light, the magma ocean seemed to have undergone qualitative changes, becoming transparent. It had originally been opaque and dark red, but right now, it was like ink that had faded in color, becoming like clear water.

Wherever the jade light landed on the ocean a glow could be seen in the magma. On the surface of the magma ocean, it was just the diameter of an adult’s arm; however, it became bigger as it went deeper. When the jade light was a few hundred meters deep into the magma ocean, it covered a diameter close to a thousand meters.

Mo Wen’s figure was at a depth of three hundred meters when he was enveloped by the jade light pillar. He was forced to stop immediately. He was completely pinned on the spot and unable to travel any deeper.

Mo Wen floated in the magma ocean. He laughed bitterly and helplessly. The jade-colored light pillar that surrounded him contained a frightening power. It had prevented him from moving at all.

To be against a Martial Arts Grandmaster with a profound level weapon was a fairly frightening situation to be in. It was far more frightening than even the Corpse Puppet using the Cries of Hades Bell.

Mo Wen’s greatest mistake was overlooking the fact that Gao Hanshan had a profound level weapon. Mo Wen had also not expected that the Gao Hanshan would be willing to use a profound level weapon to capture him. It was quite an unusual thing to do. Mo Wen had expected to be chased in the magma ocean.

Enveloped in the jade colored light pillar, he was currently out of ideas. The only thing he could think of was to once again use the Thousand Mile Talisman to teleport himself. With a profound level weapon pointing him out, it would be impossible for him to have the opportunity to hide with the Invisible Talisman.

“Come over here.” Gao Hanshan’s hands were behind his back. His clothes fluttered in the wind, and he bore the air of a senior expert. Before this, he had been repeatedly beaten by Mo Wen. He naturally now wanted to regain a little face.

“Senior Gao, if you don’t withdraw the light pillar, how can I come over?” Mo Wen coughed dryly twice. The jade-colored light pillar had imprisoned him. Right now, even moving an inch was hard for him, let alone flying out himself

“Don’t try to pull any tricks. It is impossible for you to escape from my grasp. You’d had better behave.” Gao Hanshan waved his hand and withdrew the jade colored light pillar. His clothes fluttered in the wind, and he still bore the air of a senior expert. He seemed to have no fear of Mo Wen escaping at all. The Martial Arts Grandmaster had absolute confidence in himself.

“Senior Gao, thank you for underestimating me. Actually, even a Martial Arts Grandmaster is not so incredible. Before this, there was already a Martial Arts Grandmaster chasing me, and then I threw him off. Right now, I am leaving. The world is small. We will meet again.”

It was possible that Gao Hanshan had been putting on the airs of a senior expert because he seemed to have been beaten by Mo Wen once again. Mo Wen’s voice came up from the magma ocean, getting more and more distant with each word he spoke.

“Humph, overconfident brat. You really think too much of yourself.” Gao Hanshan had not expected that Mo Wen would be so arrogant. He wasn’t even taking him, a Martial Arts Grandmaster, seriously. With his sensory ability, Gao Hanshan could sense that Mo Wen had not surfaced and was instead continuing to head deeper into the magma ocean.

The Gao Clan elders glanced at each other. They shook their heads one by one, their faces revealing mocking looks. Mo Wen was indeed overconfident in himself. It could even be said to be arrogance. No matter how much of a genius he was, it was impossible for him to escape from a Martial Arts Grandmaster. Moreover, Gao Hanshan had the Gao Clan’s most valuable treasure, the Han Imperial Jade Seal.

Gao Hanshan touched the Han Imperial Jade Seal. A beam of jade-colored light lit up. However, before the Han Imperial Jade Seal had fully activated, a beam of light suddenly illuminated the magma ocean. The light similarly disregarded the obstruction of the magma ocean, penetrating thousands of meters. Its magnificence was equal to the Han Imperial Jade Seal.

In the instant that the light appeared, Gao Hanshan’s figure suddenly froze. The power he used to activate the Han Imperial Jade Seal also slowed a beat. The jade seal had just emitted a beam of jade light but was now disrupted, its light instantly extinguished.

“It is actually a profound level weapon. This brat…” A look of astonishment once again flashed in Gao Hanshan’s eyes. The number of times he had been surprised since encountering Mo Wen were too many. The entire Gao Clan with more than a millennia of heritage had only one profound level weapon. How was it possible for a mere youth to have such an important treasure in his hands?

The beam of light that had shone from the magma ocean was the power of the Cries of Hades Bell. With Mo Wen’s current ability, only a profound level weapon like the Cries of Hades Bell could affect Gao Hanshan. Other spiritual weapons did not have such an ability.

“A special type of profound level weapon that can attack the soul. How many more surprises do you have for me?” Gao Hanshan shook his head. Such a special type of profound level weapon was very rare. Its preciousness exceeded that of ordinary profound level weapons, and it far exceeded the expectations of others. If Mo Wen had such a profound level weapon in his hands, he need have no fear at all, not even against the Fire Domain’s number one Beast King.

However, that did not mean that Mo Wen was right to hold on to ideas of escaping, To believe he could was just too whimsical of him.

The corner of Gao Hanshan’s mouth curled into a mocking smile. He was not at all anxious, because he was still certain that it was impossible for Mo Wen to escape from him.

The Han Imperial Jade Seal activated once again. A beam of jade light lit up and became a pillar of light, furiously casting upon the magma ocean.

He did not believe that Mo Wen could activate that profound level weapon once again and disrupt his connection with the Han Imperial Jade Seal. With Mo Wen’s cultivation, even to unleash the Cries of Hades Bell once would most likely have exhausted huge amounts of energy and Inner Qi. It was impossible for him to consecutively unleash it twice in such a short amount of time.

As expected, Gao Hanshan was not hindered. A jade colored light pillar shot out, casting deep into the magma ocean. In an instant, it had reached tens of thousands of meters deep, enveloping a large area. When Gao Hanshan looked down into the illuminated area, however, he was stunned. He seemed to be unable to believe his eyes.

Mo Wen, who was had just been in the magma ocean, had actually disappeared. He had vanished without a trace, as though he had directly evaporated. Gao Hanshan’s Martial Arts Grandmaster cultivation meant that he could always sense Mo Wen but he could not detect anything.

“How is it possible?” Gao Hanshan could no longer maintain the air of a senior expert. His eyes were wide open. With a splash, he dived into the magma ocean to personally check.

The Gao Clan elders glanced at each other with eyes full of doubt and incredulity. How could a person just disappear in an instant?

“Where did that brat go? This should not be possible.”

“The Han Imperial Jade Seal did not manage to find him. Curious, curious. It is impossible for him to have gone far in such a short amount of time. Even I can’t do it. It is impossible for even a Martial Arts Grandmaster.”

“There must be some trick. Let’s go down and have a look. That brat is cunning. We’d had better not fall for his trick.”

The Gao Clan veterans who had been very calm had now completely lost their cool. They dived frantically into the magma ocean, preparing to have a look around.
