Chapter 680
“Congratulations . You have completed the task . ” The voice of the Tower Spirit sounded in Mo Wen’s mind . The next moment, a light flashed and Mo Wen disappeared from the valley . Before he knew it, he had been returned to the altar .
There was already a person standing there . It was a woman in a white robe . It was Nangong Mingzhu .
She gave Mo Wen a sideways glance . “This time, I am first,” she said . She lowered her gaze and did not say anything else . She wore her look that kept everyone at bay .
Mo Wen had not expected that Nangong Mingzhu would be competing with him over this . He smiled indifferently but did not say anything .
He did not know how powerful Nangong Mingzhu’s abilities were, but killing ten Lord monstrous beasts obviously had not troubled her . He was not surprised that she was the first to come out .
Mo Wen had just arrived back at the altar when another light flashed . Tan Qiyue walked out .
Tan Qiyue clearly had not expected that Mo Wen would complete the task before him . He looked at him with some surprise . Although he had not worked at his fastest speed when killing the monstrous beasts, neither had he intentionally slowed down . Obviously, the speed at which Mo Wen had killed the monstrous beasts was faster than his .
“Heroes are born young . No wonder there is a saying that as in the Chang Jiang River, the waves behind drive on those ahead, so each new generation excels the last one . ” Tan Qiyue smiled as he nodded at Mo Wen .
“Senior, you praise me too much,” Mo Wen said with a smile .
“I have not seen a youth as talented as you for many years . If we have the chance, we should have a nice long chat over drinks . ”
A light flashed and the fourth person walked out . What surprised Mo Wen was that the fourth person was not the leader of the Ghost Lair, Chu Yuan . Instead, it was Gao Hanshan . Not long after Gao Hanshan arrived back on the altar, Lan Zhongzhi also walked out .
As long as the person arrived back at the altar within fifteen minutes, they had completed the task .
After waiting for another five minutes, Chu Yuan, who was dressed in black robes, came walking out slowly . He did not look at anyone . He went to stand in a corner, immediately closing his eyes for a rest .
Six people now stood on the altar . As expected, only Bu Xingyi had yet to come out .
Mo Wen frowned slightly . If Bu Xingyi dropped the ball again, Mo Wen could not help him even if he wanted to . Obviously, this place did not allow others to head over and assist .

Time passed slowly . The fifteen minutes were about to end, and Bu Xingyi still showed no signs of coming out .
“Trash!” Chu Yuan had been silent the whole time but now could not help but curse under his breath . If Bu Xingyi did not pass this stage, then all their previous efforts would have been in vain .
Gao Hanshan, Lan Zhongzhi, and the others also frowned . Their expressions were all somewhat anxious . This was about the success or failure of all human ancient martial art practitioners . It did not allow for any mishaps .
Only Nangong Mingzhu remained calm . It did not seem as if she cared much about the task at all .
The fifteen minutes came to an end . Bu Xingyi had not appeared .
Mo Wen sighed, shaking his head slightly .
Gao Hanshan, Lan Zhongzhi and the rest also sighed . They knew that they had failed the task .
“Human Warrior Bu Xingyi was unable to kill all the monstrous beasts within the allotted time . Task failed . ” The voice of the Tower Spirit sounded from the void . Next, a circle of light appeared on the altar . Bu Xingyi walked out with a despondent look . He kept his head down, not having the courage to look anyone in the eye .
He had given it his all, but how could he kill ten Lord monstrous beasts within fifteen minutes without a profound level weapon?
“This is all Mo Wen’s fault . I asked him to lend me a profound level weapon, and he stubbornly refused . ”
Seemingly feeling that the surrounding gazes aimed at him were unfair Bu Xingyi could not help but say this . He had given it his all . What could he do if they all had profound level weapons and he did not?
“As expected of the Ming Temple’s Sect Grand Elder . Your own ability is subpar, and you are instead blaming this youth . Later, I want to ask whether all the Ming Temple’s Sect Grand Elders are like this,” Gao Hanshan said with a cold smile . At this moment, Bu Xingyi was actually still blaming Mo Wen .
Right now, even the gaze that Lan Zhongzhi aimed at Bu Xingyi was somewhat sullen . The behavior of the Ming Temple’s Sect Grand Elder was extremely unbecoming . If he failed, he failed . It was only a matter of lack of skill . But right now, he actually still wanted to find excuses and was still blaming others for not lending him treasures . It was disgraceful .
As an ancient martial art practitioner who was also from the Floating Mystery Dimension, Lan Zhongzhi felt ashamed .

Before this, there had always been rumors that this Ming Temple’s Third Sect Grand Elder’s had poor conduct and a sinister character . He was said to have a tendency to ambush people from behind . Lan Zhongzhi would never have imagined that Bu Xingyi’s conduct was actually even poorer than had been rumored . It seemed as though he did not have any strength of character at all .
“You are called Bu Xingyi, right? I’ll remember that . If I have the chance in the future, I will certainly send you to your death,” Tan Qiyue said as he looked at Bu Xingyi coldly . Clearly, what he had said before this was not a joke .
Bu Xingyi felt a chill down his spine . Being marked by a second realm Martial Arts Grandmaster strong practitioner was an uncomfortable feeling . Tan Qiyue actually really wanted to kill him .
“Old thing, if you dare kill me, the Ming Temple will certainly not let you go,” Bu Xingyi said with a guilty look . After knowing that Sect Great Elder Qiao had died at the hands of this person, he was truly afraid .
“The Ming Temple?” Tan Qiyue laughed coldly . He said, “You are not the first person that I will have killed from the Ming Temple . You are also not the second, and you will not be the last . ”
“You old b*stard . If you can, come and kill me in the Ming Temple . I will concede if you dare find me at the Ming Temple to kill me . ”
Bu Xingyi was feeling extremely panicked . He was so scared that he started to choose his words poorly . He was not afraid of Tan Qiyue killing him in the future . In the worst case scenario, he would hide in the Ming Temple and not come out . He did not believe that this old thing dared to come searching in the Ming Temple to kill a Sect Grand Elder like him . But he was afraid that Tan Qiyue would kill him now . If Tan Qiyue tried to kill him now, he would have no one to rely on . Bu Xingyi could already sense the dangerous aura in Tan Qiyue’s gaze . He wouldn’t have the chance to run away now even if he wanted to .
“You are looking to die . ” Tan Qiyue indeed had the idea of killing Bu Xingyi now . Right then, he took a step forward and was prepared to act .
However, at this moment, the voice of the Tower Spirit sounded again .
“Since Human Warrior Bu Xingyi did not complete the task, you have all failed . However, as it is a group task, there is one chance to make it up . ”
The Tower Spirit’s voice transmitted into everyone’s minds . Those who had believed that they had failed the task immediately pricked up their ears . There was actually a chance to make it up?
“The Tower Spirit will randomly select one from among you . This person will represent Human Warrior Bu Xingyi to head forth and attempt to complete the task that he was not able to . However, this time is a makeup attempt . The difficulty will be increased . It will no longer be ten Lord monstrous beasts, but a Beast King monstrous beast . ”
Upon hearing this, Mo Wen laughed bitterly . They would actually be facing a Beast King .
A Beast King was comparable to a human Martial Arts Grandmaster absolute strong practitioner . It was far more powerful than ten Lord monstrous beasts .

Among the seven of them, Nangong Mingzhu, Chu Yuan and Tan Qiyue could possibly kill a Beast King . If Mo Wen went all out, he also had the ability to kill a Beast King . But for both Gao Hanshan and Lan Zhongzhi, it was hard to say whether they would succeed or not .
The person who participated in the makeup task was going to be randomly selected by the Tower Spirit . If it chose Gao Hanshan and Lan Zhongzhi, the result would most likely still not be any different .
The others also laughed bitterly . They had also realized the problem that lay within .
Each of them knew whether or not they could kill a Beast King . Gao Hanshan and Lan Zhongzhi were the first to open their arms and reveal helpless looks .
Tan Qiyue was also frowning hard . If his cultivation was not limited, he could easily kill a normal Beast King . But in his current situation, it was hard to say whether he would be able to . If the Tower Spirit sent out a Beast King that was too powerful, he would not have the ability to kill it .
On the other hand, Nangong Mingzhu and Chu Yuan were both calm, as they had been since the very start .
A slim chance of victory was better than none . Since they could make up for it, there was at least still a chance .
Bu Xingyi also breathed a sigh of relief . At least now Tan Qiyue would not simply kill him . If anyone managed to complete the task, Tan Qiyue would have no excuse to kill him anymore .
A colored turntable descended from the sky and appeared on the altar . The turntable had a red pointer which was currently spinning at high speeds .
Mo Wen knew that whoever the red pointer pointed at would be the one to represent the team in the makeup task .
The turntable slowed down, its pointer passing each one of them one by one until it finally stopped .
Mo Wen breathed a sigh of relief as the red pointer pointed at him . He knew he should be able to kill a Beast King .
However, when Mo Wen sighed in relief, the others were frowning .
Gao Hanshan looked at Mo Wen, wanting to say something but then stopping himself . Obviously, he was not too confident in Mo Wen .
Lan Zhongzhi and Tan Qiyue also frowned . Similarly, they too did not have too much confidence in Mo Wen . Although Mo Wen was very strong and his performance before this was very astonishing, talent was talent, whereas ability was ability . Based on cultivation, he had just broken through to the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm . Among the seven of them, he could not be said to be outstanding .
Aside from that, Mo Wen was too young . Subconsciously, he did not have too much persuasive power . For a youth to bear such a heavy burden, it was very easy to make others feel anxious .
“Can you do it?” Nangong Mingzhu could not help but ask . “If you believe you can, and the Tower Spirit also agrees, I will be happy for you to go . It will save me the trouble . ”
Mo Wen rolled his eyes at Nangong Mingzhu . He did not want to fight for his life against a Beast King . Maybe he could win, but it would definitely not be easy .
If the Tower Spirit had chosen Nangong Mingzhu, he would be happy to sit around and do nothing .
Nangong Mingzhu softly snorted . She raised her chin proudly but did not say anything else . It went without saying that what the Tower Spirit said was final . How could it possibly change candidates because of her?
“Mo Wen, can you do it? Everyone knows that you and I have bad blood between us . You’d better not purposely hold back and lose to the Beast King, dragging all of us down,” Bu Xingyi said mockingly .
He did not believe that Mo Wen could defeat a Beast King . Even in his heyday, Bu Xingyi would have had a hard time defeating a Beast King, let alone killing one .
However, knowing that Mo Wen would certainly lose, Bu Xingyi also wanted to blame him for his impending defeat and to provoke Mo Wen . Once Mo Wen failed, Bu Xingyi would then be able to say that Mo Wen had failed on purpose and abused his own position to settle a personal grudge . That would make the others turn against Mo Wen .
Maybe the people here would know what had happened, but the human ancient martial art practitioners in the outside world would not necessarily know so clearly . When the time came, and they believed that Mo Wen had purposely abused his own position to settle a personal grudge, resulting in them failing the task, wouldn’t they want Mo Wen to die?
