Chapter 836: 836
The battle was almost completely one-sided . Every other minute, Yun Pengqing and Wang He were being injured . Mei Yixuan and Qi Hang were also on the brink of death . Against a power several times that of their own, it was almost impossible to resist .
A black-robed man walked towards Mo Wen and Wan’er, clearly about to kill the three small fry . Among the Five Tigers Sect, they would undoubtedly be the easiest to deal with .
Mo Wen lowered his gaze slightly, and a golden light flashed in his eyes . No one noticed a black light fly out of the medicine spiritual ring on his finger . The black light disappeared in a flash, hiding in the forest .
At the same time, the black-robed man appeared in front of Mo Wen . His expression was hideous, and Mo Wen could smell the stench of blood emanating from him .
Mo Wen did not even look at the black-robed man . His expression was totally calm, as though he was not on a battlefield but was instead enjoying the scenery in the mountains .
The black-robed man was stunned when he saw this . Could it be that this youth was not afraid of dying? Was it possible to be this calm when facing death? The black-robed man was a little disappointed . He wanted to see fear on the faces of his victims before they died .
Just as these thoughts were going through the black-robed man’s mind, a beam of black light shot out from the forest . Its speed was like a meteor as it crashed straight into his body . The expression on his face froze instantly, and his body stood stiffly on his spot, shattering inch by inch and turning into dust .
A silhouette appeared before Mo Wen . It was a black shadow that was covered from head to toe in a cloak . It wore a bamboo hat on its head and was wrapped up tightly; even its eyes could not be seen . The black-robed man had been turned to dust by this person wearing a straw cape and bamboo hat .
One would normally be sent flying backward after an attack, but the black-robed had instead been instantly turned to dust . It was obvious how frightening the power of the attack must have been .
Once the black shadow appeared, its body emanated an unparalleled frightening aura . The aura instantly covered the entire forest . The temperature in the forest suddenly dropped, and the ground was instantly covered in a layer of frost .
Mei Yixuan could not help but shiver from the cold . She looked at the black shadow with a look of astonishment . She discovered that under the aura of the black shadow, she could not move at all . There seemed to be an invisible wall forcefully pressing her down on her original spot .
All of the black-robed men were also fixed in position . Even the few Embryonic Breathing Realm ancient martial art practitioners on the field instantly ceased fighting . They all stood completely still, their faces pale, and they did not dare to even try to move . They all looked frantically at the black shadow with astonished gazes .
The power the shadow was giving off was terrifying . It was as though they had encountered a wild beast, and they had all instantly become docile rabbits .
The black shadow pointed at the sky, and a formless swirl appeared in mid-air . The swirl had just appeared when the Blue Silk Cloud Net that enveloped the sky above began to tremble violently as though it was being pulled by some power . It suddenly shrank and was dragged into the swirl .

The swirl gradually disappeared and the Blue Silk Cloud Net flew into the hands of the black shadow .
Ptui!
Cheng Zongping furiously spat out a mouthful of fresh blood . His face had turned completely white, as though he had fallen seriously ill . The Blue Silk Cloud Net was controlled by him . Now that it had been forcefully taken away by someone else, he was seriously injured from the recoil .
“Who are you exactly? Why are you making things difficult for our Baili Sect?” Cheng Zongping wiped away the bloodstain from the corner of his mouth . His heart was trembling . He could not imagine what sort of cultivation the person had . It was extremely alarming .
“Get lost! Otherwise, you will die . ”
One could not tell whether the black shadow was a male or a female based on its voice . Its voice was rather peculiar, as though a machine was speaking . It slowly extended a hand and made a pressing down gesture in the air . A loud sound thundered . The ground within a radius of five hundred meters suddenly collapsed, stirring up dust and causing a large number of trees to collapse . A destructive force swept through the place .
The black-robed men from the Baili Sect were all terrified . They felt as though death had passed by them . This black shadow was so horrifying that it was beyond their imagination . Just now, its force had been directed at the ground instead of at them . If it targeted them, all of them would most likely die in an instant as their bodies exploded .
The black-robed men from Baili Sect looked at each other, so shocked that they could not even speak . Where had this berserker come from?
“Retreat!”
Cheng Zongping clenched his teeth and ran away as quickly as he could . The opponent clearly had no intention to kill them . If it had wanted to kill them, they would probably have been dead by now . He could not guarantee whether he could still make it back alive if he chose to stay any longer .
The black-robed men had appeared out of the blue, and they left without a trace . In the blink of an eye, they had all disappeared . None of them dared to ask the black shadow to return the Blue Silk Cloud Net . No matter how precious an item was, it was not as precious as their own lives .
Yun Pengqing, Wang He, and other Five Tigers Sect members were stunned . They had trouble getting their heads around what had just happened . The tables had turned way too quickly .
Everyone from the Baili Sect had taken to their heels only a few seconds after this black shadow had appeared . Besides, everyone could tell that this black shadow was clearly helping the members of the Five Tigers Sect .

“Senior…” Yun Pengqing took a step forward and bowed . He was just about to speak when he noticed that the black shadow had disappeared . In an instant, it had left without a trace .
The blue silk net was on the ground, indicating that what happened just now was not an illusion .
“Older Brother Yun, do you know who that senior was?” Wang He stared at Yun Pengqing quizzically . Just now, the mysterious shadow had clearly saved them . However, he could not figure out who that person was . Since when had the Five Tigers Sect been acquainted with such a terrifying figure?
“I don’t know him . This is odd . ” Yun Pengqing shook his head . The mysterious figure had been terrifyingly powerful . He could not figure out how high his cultivation was at all . Similarly, he could not understand why the mysterious man had saved them . The Five Tigers Sect was not strong or renowned enough to be helped by someone so powerful .
Mei Yixuan and Qi Hang stared at each other . They were speechless for a long while and had no clue about what had just happened . Wan’er and Wang Qian were also in a daze . They had suddenly escaped from danger in the most mysterious way .
Mo Wen looked up . The golden light in his eyes had disappeared .
The black shadow that had saved them all was the Black Gold Puppet that Mo Wen had stored in his medicine spiritual ring . The Black Gold Puppet had a combat ability that was akin to that of a Martial Arts Grandmaster . Besides, it had pure spiritual energy and could wield spiritual treasures as it wished . Its combat ability was above that of an ordinary first realm Martial Arts Grandmaster .
“We will talk about this later . Let’s get back to the sect quickly,” Yun Pengqing said decisively . They could not stay here for long . It was impossible to tell whether any other parties might be after them .
With a wave of his hand, the Blue Silk Cloud Net flew into his hand . The Blue Silk Cloud Net was an important treasure—a legendary spiritual weapon . Just now, instead of taking the net, the mysterious man had left it to them .
Wang He stared at the Blue Silk Cloud Net with a complicated gaze . He felt like they had hit the jackpot . Not only had they survived, but they had also acquired an important treasure .
The team started moving again, heading straight back to the Five Tigers Sect . Once they reached the sect, Yun Pengqing ordered them not to utter a word about what happened today . Then, he went to the main hall of the sect with Wang He .
For Mo Wen, this incident was merely an interlude . His life returned to normal again, with him healing quietly .
Wan’er and Wang Qian’s lives also returned to normal .

Two days later, Mo Wen went to the branch of the Huatian Palace again and received ten Dragon City Talismans from Lu Chuan .
The Martial Arts Circle Convention was approaching and Mo Wen’s injuries were getting better . He decided to leave the Five Tigers Sect and look for a secluded place to complete the final part of his treatment .
The treatment method was risky, and he could not be disturbed by anyone . He planned to find a cave hidden deep in the mountains and stay there until the day before the Martial Arts Circle Convention .
One morning, Wan’er woke up early to get ready . Even though now she no longer needed to gather medicinal herbs every day, she still woke early .
“Huh? What’s that?”
Suddenly, she noticed that something was pinned on the table . As she approached the table curiously, she saw two shiny sheets of silver paper placed under a small rock . There were many exquisite patterns printed on the rectangular-shaped pieces of paper . There even seemed to be a few mysterious runes leaping on and off them .
She thought her eyes had deceived her; however, upon taking a closer look, there were still runes visible on the paper . Clearly she was not hallucinating .
She lifted up the two pieces of paper curiously and two calligraphic characters appeared before her .
Dragon City!
“Could these be the legendary Dragon City Talismans?”
Wan’er’s eyes were wide open as she stared at the talismans in her hands in disbelief . Even though she had never seen a Dragon City Talisman before, she had heard about them from others .
“Sister Wang Qian, quickly get up . Get up quickly!”
Wan’er dashed to Wang Qian’s bedside and tried to wake her by pulling her arm .
“Wan’er, what are you doing? Why are you disturbing my sleep so early in the morning? Let me sleep for a little while longer…” Wang Qian said in a daze, her eyes still half-shut .
“Sister Wang Qian, I have discovered two Dragon City Talismans . Quick, have a look and tell me whether I am right,” Wan’er shouted into Wang Qian’s ear .
“What?!”
Wang Qian was instantly wide awake . She got up from her bed nimbly, taking the silver talismans from Wan’er’s hand . Only after she had examined the papers closely a few times did she ask with a trembling voice, “Wan’er, where did you get these?”
Wang Qian’s hand, which was holding the Dragon City Talismans, was shaking continuously . Her body shivered uncontrollably too . These were the Dragon City Talismans which could cause countless bloodshed in the martial arts circle! And there were two of them!
“They were placed on our table . I noticed them when I woke up . I have no idea where they came from . Are they really Dragon City Talismans?” Wan’er asked curiously .
“I am certain of it . I have seen a sample of the Dragon City Talisman . ” Wang Qian nodded her head conclusively .
“Why would these appear on our desk?” Wang Qian felt that there were more and more bizarre things happening around her recently . Why would the Dragon City Talismans suddenly appear in their house? Such a free lunch had actually fallen into their hands!
“Sister Wang Qian, I feel like someone might have given these to us as a present . Look, there are two Dragon City Talismans . Doesn’t it mean that each of us gets one?” Wan’er said, analyzing the situation .
Nothing more, nothing less . There were exactly two Dragon City Talismans . The meaning of it was obvious .
