Chapter 832: 832
As well as the headquarters of Huatian Palace, there were also many other palaces that were part of it, including one in the Taihang Mountains . In fact, in any mountain range where there was a large number of warriors, there would be a branch of Huatian Palace . This allowed better management of the sects to take place . If there was not a powerful force to restrain these sects, the world outside would have already been thrown into chaos .
Of course, in a little place like the series of the three big Mountain ranges, there were no branches of Huatian Palace .
Wan’er’s master was going to the branch palace of Huatian Palace to carry out some tasks for the sect . Wan’er had been brought along to broaden her horizons . Each ancient martial arts sect had a very close relationship with Huatian Palace . This was because Huatian Palace was an enormous resource pool, and there were resources that every ancient martial arts sect dreamed of .
Many sects that had managed to become strong mostly had done so mostly because they had received some powerful items from Huatian Palace . Of course, the resources of Huatian Palace would not be given away for no reason . Any sect hoping for a windfall from Huatian Palace had to pay with something of similar value .
Mo Wen was very knowledgeable about such exchanges . It exactly the same as the way that the executors of Huatian Palace and Huatian Palace itself had a mutually beneficial relationship except it now involved sects rather than a person . Furthermore, Huatian Palace had no intention of making a loss and was happy to take advantage of others .
“Big Brother Mo, you are an ancient martial artist as well . You know about Huatian Palace, don’t you? Do you want to go and take a look?” Wan’er said somewhat excitedly .
A warrior like her would not normally have the right to reach out to an existence like Huatian Palace . As such, she naturally wanted to share the joy with Mo Wen .
Mo Wen considered it for a moment and decided to visit the branch palace to take a look . He had been badly injured and his original plans had changed . He was not going to meet with Wang Junru and was prepared to move alone . In this way, he would have more time to allow his injuries to heal and did not have to deal with the extra matters of those sects . This would ensure that he would fully recover his cultivation before the Martial Arts Circle Convention .
However, he was changing his plans at the last minute and had not informed Wang Junru or the others from the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension . As such, he needed to find someone from Huatian Palace to help him deliver some letters .
At eight in the morning, Mo Wen and Su Wan’er left the wooden house and arrived at the gates of the Five Tigers Sect . Wang Qian was there too, waiting at the gates . When she saw Wan’er and Mo Wen, she approached them . Wan’er was happy to take her along with them .
The three of them waited at the gates for a moment before a man and two women emerged from within . The man was about 60 or 70 while the women seemed to be in their 30s and 40s . They had the mature charm of women that age .

Wan’er approached them when she saw the beautiful woman . One of the two middle-aged women was her master .
Wang Qian immediately bowed when she saw the two women . She was very respectful and would not usually get to see an Elder .
Mo Wen simply put his fists together and did not say anything .
“Wan’er, are these your friends?” Mei Yixuan looked at Wang Qian and Mo Wen . Her gaze rested on Mo Wen for a moment before she looked away .
“Yes, Master . They are good friends of mine, and I want to take them with us . I hope that you and Elder Uncle Qi Hang will allow that,” Wan’er said respectfully .
“They are both young people . We can liven up the atmosphere if we take you all along . I don’t mind,” Mei Yixuan said with a smile . Then, she turned to look at the elder .
The elder called Qi Hang nodded and did not disagree .
The branch palace of Huatian Palace in the Taihang Mountains was on the Five Fortune Mountain . This was the name given to it by the people of the Martial Arts circle . The name did not exist on maps of Huaxia .
The Five Fortune Mountain was only three hundred miles away from the Five Tigers Sect . Keeping in mind that there were three young people with me, they did not move fast . They only reached the Five Fortune Mountain at noon .
The Five Fortune Mountain was more than a thousand meters above sea level . On the surface, it did not look any different from other mountains . However, Mo Wen could tell at a glance that the mountain had a psychedelic array .

Mei Yixuan and Qi Hang, who were familiar with the route, brought the others around the mountain . The scene before them suddenly changed . Numerous palaces and buildings appeared before them . These buildings were built into the mountainside and were gorgeous . They merged with the greenery on the large mountain, and it felt as if they had entered an ethereal place . It seemed as though the clouds had parted, and they were seeing the brilliant moon .
“Whoa, it’s gorgeous! It’s much more impressive than the Five Tigers Sect . There wasn’t anything on this mountain earlier; why did the palaces suddenly appear?” Wan’er said curiously as she looked at the sight before her with wide eyes . She had been walking in the mountains when the scene before her had changed completely . Wang Qian also looked stunned . The architecture before her was amazing . Furthermore, it had been hidden extremely well . They had not seen this when they were at the foot of the mountain .
“Let’s go . The branch palaces of Huatian Palace are not something our ancient martial arts sect can compare to,” Mei Yixuan said with a smile . She had worn the same expression when she first visited the branch palaces of Huatian Palace . The mysteriousness of Huatian Palace was not something they can imagine .
As the entourage entered the Palace, they realized that there were many ancient martial arts warriors from the Taihang Mountains present . They were simply walking around and the place was bustling . However, the warriors who could come to this place were powerful and the lowest cultivation any of them possessed was in the Sea of Qi Realm . Warriors of the Regulated Breathing Realm like Wan’er and Wang Qian were rare, and people of that level were all here with elders .
Mei Yixuan placed something that looked like a token into a nook which drew back slowly . Moments later, it spat the token out again . Then, an intangible light flashed before them and disappeared without a trace .
“Master, what was that?” Wan’er asked curiously .
“Not anyone can enter the branch palace of Huatian Palace . You have to have an identity token before you can do so . Don’t think that there is nothing before us . There is an invisible force field that will stop you from entering,” Mei Yixuan replied .
“That’s amazing . ” Wan’er’s eyes were filled with unending curiosity .
The group crossed through the square and approached an enormous palace . Many people were going to and from the palace, and many executors were dressed in the Huatian Palace uniform .
The executors of Huatian Palace here all had average cultivation levels . Most of them were half-star executors . Two-star executors could probably be leaders here . After all, it was just a branch palace and there were limitations to staff allocation .

“Wan’er, you all walk around . Meet me in the square outside in two hours . I and Master Qi Hang have some things to do,” Mei Yixuan instructed . She left in a hurry with Qi Hang, leaving Wan’er and the other two behind .
“Wan’er, what is your Master going to do?” Wang Qian asked curiously . They had not taken them along, so it was obvious that they did not want the three to know what was going on .
“I don’t know either . Master did not say anything . ” Wan’er shook her head . She continued, “It must be something very important . Let’s not ask later . ” She could tell that her Master had come to Huatian Palace this time for something very important .
“Wan’er, do you think I am stupid? Of course, I won’t be silly enough to ask . However, since it is a very important matter, then why have they brought us here at all?” Wang Qian asked, bewildered .
“It’s because they want to use you all as a decoy,” Mo Wen answered with a smile .
Mo Wen had thought it was odd earlier as well . Why had the two elders of the Five Tigers Sect taken them along? Wang Qian was a disciple not of their sect and was a stranger to them . He now understood that they had brought some insignificant people with them to serve as a decoy . Others would then think that they had come to Huatian Palace for an insignificant reason .
After all, looking at this objectively, if there was anything important, they would not bring them here . They were just newbies . Their use was to confuse those who were plotting something .
Furthermore, Mo Wen also realized something else interesting . On their way to Huatian Palace, two people had followed them secretly . Their cultivation levels were not low and they were in the Embryonic Breathing Realm . In the Five Tigers Sect, they could become grand elders . The two followed behind them suspiciously but Mo Wen did not sense any danger from them . If he had guessed correctly, the two hidden amongst them were probably from the Five Tigers Sect as well .
If his deduction was correct, then it was not just two ordinary elders from the Five Tigers Sect who had come to Huatian Palace this time . There were also two grand elders . They did not come openly because they probably wanted to stay hidden to do what they wanted to and not draw attention to themselves .
Neither Wan’er and Wang Qian were stupid . They immediately realized what was going on when they heard what Mo Wen said .
“So that’s why . I was wondering why the powerful elder would take me to Huatian Palace . ” Wang Qian smiled bitterly, realizing that she had been made use of .
“I… I didn’t know either . ” Wan’er felt a little awkward . She did not know that this would happen .
“It’s nothing . Being used by elders means that I am valuable . I didn’t lose out on anything either . I have even been able to come to Huatian Palace to broaden my horizons . Look at what’s in front of us . There are so many people gathered there . ” Wang Qian did not want Wan’er to feel guilty and hurriedly changed the subject . It was not a big deal, and she had not lost out on anything by coming to Huatian Palace . She could only say that they had all gotten what they needed .
There were quite a few people gathered in front of the main palace . Some people approached it curiously and realized that everyone was looking at the walls on both sides of it .
Rows of words swirled around on the wall . Mo Wen knew what it was at a glance . “It is the Mission Palace Hall of Huatian Palace . I heard about it a long while back . ”
Wang Qian looked at the wall excitedly . Messages flashed on the wall . They were all various tasks . The tasks were varied and included any type that one could think of . These missions were known as bounty missions in the martial arts circle . The people who released the missions were not only from Huatian Palace but also from various large sects .
Each sect could disseminate these bounty missions to Huatian Palace through this channel . They had to pay Huatian Palace to use this channel at the same time . As such, the Mission Palace Hall of Huatian Palace was always bustling . Only 10 percent of the missions were from Huatian Palace . The remaining 90 percent were from various sects .
Of course, the missions that were released in Huatian Palace were no ordinary missions . People like Wan’er and Wang Qian could only just look at them . There was not a single mission on the wall that they would be able to complete .
“Oh, I see a mission that rewards you with a pass to attend the Martial Arts Circle Convention,” Wang Qian said suddenly, pointing at a mission on the wall .
