Chapter 64: Ch 64- Martial Hall
Soon, the information about the man appeared in Mo Yuan’s mind.
[Human: Mu Jin]
[Cultivation Talent: Peak Grade]
[Ice Talent: Superior Grade]
’Peak Grade Cultivation Talent?’
This was quite rare in Dong Hai Base but since he already has Ultimate Grade Cultivation Talent, it wasn’t useful to him anymore.
’Well, considering he’s at least at the Mid or Late Level of the Origin Soul Realm, this should be the limit of his cultivation talent.’
Mo Yuan looked at the man calmly.
The man was wearing a white robe and looked to be around fifty years old. His aura was powerful, but he didn’t show any intention of attacking.
"Answering fellow Daoist’s question, no, I am not from the Lin Family."
The man cupped his hands slightly.
"I am Mu Jin, an Elder of the Martial Hall."
"Martial Hall?"
Mo Yuan raised his eyebrows.
Ofcourse he knew about Martial Hall, that is from where he got all the information and the resources for cultivation and he also knew someone from the Martial Hall.
"I know someone from the Martial Hall. Her name was something like Mu Qingying."
Mu Jin’s expression changed slightly when he heard that name.
"You know our Young Mistress?"
"Yes. We met once before."
Mo Yuan nodded.
Then he glanced at the corpses scattered around the estate.
"Since you aren’t from the Lin Family, why did you stop me from killing these people?"
A faint smile appeared on his face.
Mu Jin looked at Mo Yuan’s masked face.
Although he couldn’t see Mo Yuan’s appearance, he could tell from his voice that Mo Yuan was very young.
Moreover, the fact that Mo Yuan knew Mu Qingying and possessed such terrifying strength at such a young age made Mu Jin subconsciously think of the large bases.
He had originally thought that Mo Yuan might be from Dong Hai Base but now, that possibility seemed almost impossible.
"Oh, since young master is our Young Mistress friend, then you are also a friend of our Martial Hall."
Mu Jin smiled.
"As for why I stopped you, it was simply because I wanted to warn you."
His expression became serious.
"The Lin Family still has a Peak Level Origin Soul Realm cultivator."
Mo Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly.
"He is currently missing, and no one knows where he is."
Mu Jin continued, "I just wanted to remind you that the Lin Family still has some backing. You should think carefully before completely annihilating them."
He glanced at the corpses around him.
"But since you are also from a large base, I suppose it doesn’t matter now."
Mo Yuan immediately understood what Mu Jin was thinking.
’He thinks I’m from a large base?’
He wasn’t surprised.
Considering that he had casually mentioned knowing Mu Qingying and had displayed such terrifying strength despite being so young, it wasn’t strange for Mu Jin to make that assumption.
Mo Yuan didn’t bother explaining.
"Well, you should wait here. I want to discuss something with you."
Then he pointed his saber toward Lin Changsheng.
"But first, I need to take care of this Lin Family."
Lin Changsheng’s face instantly became pale.
He had already witnessed everything that had happened tonight. Five Peak Origin Sea Realm cultivators had been killed in seconds.
Even his father, an Origin Soul Realm cultivator, had died without being able to resist.
Now, Mo Yuan was looking directly at him. A terrifying killing intent enveloped Lin Changsheng’s body.
He trembled uncontrollably.
"Brat, you better think carefully!"
Lin Changsheng shouted desperately.
"When our Lin Family ancestor returns, he will definitely kill you!"
"Yeah, whatever."
Mo Yuan didn’t care.
His figure suddenly disappeared. In the next instant, countless saber lights flashed through the Lin Family estate.
Puchi! Puchi! Puchi!
One after another, the remaining Lin Family members and guards fell to the ground.
Mo Yuan moved so quickly that none of them could even react. Within a few seconds, the entire Lin Family was completely silent.
Everyone who had remained in the estate had been killed. Mo Yuan didn’t leave behind even a single hidden threat.
Half an hour later, inside one of the Martial Hall’s secret chambers, Mo Yuan was sitting across from Mu Jin.
The room was completely quiet.
Mu Jin looked at the masked young man sitting in front of him, his eyes filled with curiosity, he really wanted to know exactly who this mysterious young man was.
"You can ask any questions you want, Young Master," Mu Jin said respectfully.
Mo Yuan nodded slightly.
"Hmm. First, I wanted to ask about the beast tide."
He leaned back in his chair.
"I heard that one of the mid-level bases was destroyed, and the large bases even had to send an Origin Lord Realm cultivator. What’s the situation now?"
Mu Jin’s expression became serious.
"To be honest, I’m not too sure about the details. I’m only aware of what I’ve heard from the higher-ups."
He paused for a moment before continuing.
"After the beast tide became too serious, the large base sent an Origin Lord Realm cultivator to intervene. The situation was already becoming dangerous enough that if it continued, it could have turned into a full-scale war between humans and beasts."
Mo Yuan listened carefully.
"Fortunately, the Origin Lord Realm cultivator reached an agreement with the powerful beasts. The beast tide was temporarily stopped."
"Both sides didn’t want a full-scale war to break out. If humans and the beasts truly started fighting with everything they had, the losses would be enormous."
Mu Jin sighed.
"So, for now, the situation has been completely calmed down. Of course, that doesn’t mean the danger has disappeared forever. As long as powerful beasts continue to exist in the wilderness, another beast tide could happen again."
"I see."
Mo Yuan nodded.
Then he asked another question.
"I also want to know about the large bases."
Mu Jin looked at him.
"How can I get there?"
The moment he heard this question, Mu Jin froze.
Just as Mo Yuan expected, the man’s expression quickly became strange.
"You..."
Mu Jin stared at him in disbelief.
"You’re not from a large base?"
"No."
Mo Yuan shook his head.
"I’ve always been in Dong Hai Base."
Mu Jin was completely stunned.
"But you said you knew our Young Mistress."
"Yes, I did."
Mo Yuan nodded.
"I met her once before. She invited me to join the Martial Hall, but I rejected her."
"What?"
Mu Jin’s eyes widened.
"You rejected her?"
"Yes."
Mo Yuan answered casually, as if it were nothing important.
Mu Jin looked at him as if he had just heard something unbelievable.
Their Young Mistress was someone with an extraordinary identity even in the large base. Countless young geniuses dreamed of joining the Martial Hall just to get a chance to meet her, yet this young man had actually rejected her invitation.
For a moment, Mu Jin didn’t know what to say.
"Young Master, do you understand what you rejected?"
"I know."
Mo Yuan smiled.
"But at that time, I preferred to act alone."
Mu Jin took a deep breath.
Now he finally understood why Mo Yuan had such terrifying confidence. He had originally thought Mo Yuan was a genius from some large base but if that wasn’t the case, then his talent was even more terrifying.
Someone who had grown up in a small base like Dong Hai Base had actually reached this level while still so young.
Mu Jin’s eyes became serious.
"Then you really want to go to a large base?"
"Yes."
Mo Yuan nodded.
"That’s one of the reasons I wanted to talk to you."
