Chapter 877: 877
This woman who had made the enraged Lord Merciless forcibly quell his anger was none other than the mysterious woman who was always shrouded in mist .
It seemed as though after encountering her, even the arrogant Lord Merciless had to keep his temper in check .
“You saw everything that happened just now?” Lord Merciless’s face was extremely ugly . The battle that had just happened was practically the disgrace of his life up so far . He had not expected that there had been someone watching the entire thing and that the person who had been prying was her .
The woman was none other than Water Deity, who was ranked third on the scoreboard . In terms of ability, she was above Lord Merciless .
Water Deity was most proficient in concealment techniques . Lord Merciless knew that if she wanted to hide, he would be absolutely unable to detect her at all from a hundred meters away .
“I saw what I needed to see . It is just that I never expected that the dignified Lord Merciless would actually be disgraced at the hands of a youth . You should indeed rein in that temper of yours . Otherwise, this will not be the only time you embarrass yourself . ”
Water Deity’s voice was still gentle, but it was difficult to disguise the mocking tone in her voice .
“Did you show yourself just to mock me?” Lord Merciless’s expression turned even uglier as he forcibly held back his raging anger . Water Deity’s ability was superior to his . Her cultivation was also above that of his own . Rumor had it that she had broken through to the Martial Arts Grandmaster third realm a few years ago . She was rather famous . Among the youthful hidden martial arts strain strong practitioners, Water Deity most likely would be ranked among the top ten .
Lord Merciless was not a fool; knowing that he was not a match for Water Deity, he suppressed his anger .
“I’m not mocking you . I am merely reminding you . I have some connections with the lad you were fighting just now . You better give up any thoughts you have about him,” Water Deity said plainly .
Water Deity’s upfront threat caused Lord Merciless to almost burst in anger . Since when had he, Lord Merciless, ever put up with treatment such as this? Before this, Mo Wen had embarrassed him; now, Water Deity had popped out of nowhere and threatened him .
“You are not satisfied? We can fight it out if you want . ” There was no change in Water Deity’s voice . It remained very gentle . However, the sharp edge to it was evident .
Fight if you are dissatisfied . Water Deity was as gentle as a mass of water from head to toe, but she was definitely not someone who was easy to deal with .
“Water Deity, I do not wish to discuss him anymore . You will not change my resolve . What I am curious about is how a man like him has a connection with your Goddess Cult . Your Goddess Cult does not take in men, does it?”

Although Lord Merciless was arrogant, he was not foolish . In his battle with Mo Wen just now, he had expended quite a bit of power . If he were to also battle with Water Deity right now, he would be allowing her to toy with him . He could not bear the idea of disgracing himself; he would rather suppress his anger .
“Is that any concern of yours? I have said what I needed to say . You had better know your place . If we have a falling out, don’t say I didn’t warn you . ”
Water Deity clearly had no interest in answering Lord Merciless’ question . She left behind these last words . Her entire person became a mass of mist and gradually disappeared without a trace .
“Water Deity, just you wait . One of these days, I will pay back all the disgrace that I have suffered today!”
Lord Merciless clenched his fist tightly . He bit down on his teeth so hard that a grinding sound could be heard . She had gone too far .
In reality, the Goddess Cult was also a hidden martial arts strain sect, and its status was rather high . They had a rather ancient heritage . Even the Blood Evil Temple paled in comparison to the Goddess Cult .
It was said that the Ming Cult had a thousand-year heritage . However, the Goddess Cult had a history of a few thousand years . It was just that the Goddess Cult had defined themselves as part of the hidden martial arts strain a long time ago . They had not appeared in the world for centuries, so the martial arts circle only had legends of the Goddess Cult .
“The lad is astonishing . He has actually mastered four rite of passage martial arts at such a young age . His talents are terrifying . ”
On top of a mountain peak, a cloud of mist filled the area . A graceful silhouette could be seen among the mist . The howling wind on the mountain could not disperse the mist . The wind merely caused the mist to contort and drift slightly, creating a natural charm .
“Just now I secretly placed a water imprint on him . Initially, I could follow his trail, but to my surprise, I lost him . He is but a youth . Even if he has astonishing talents, by rights, the cultivation of his soul should not be too high . How did he discover my water imprint?”
Water Deity was rather surprised . The water imprint that she had secretly placed on Mo Wen had actually been dispelled .
In reality, when Mo Wen was battling with Lord Merciless just now, Water Deity had covertly performed her secret technique and left a water imprint on Mo Wen . She could locate Mo Wen using the water imprint . To her surprise, she had tracked him for less than a hundred kilometers, and she had completely lost track of him .

“Sect Younger Sister Lin Qing’s information is rather outdated . If this lad does not encounter those few famous monstrous figures, he won’t need my help at all . But that’s reasonable . Sect Younger Sister Lin Qing is still young, and she has just broken through to the sixth level of the Goddess Technique . Her judgment is limited, so it is normal for her to not be able to tell the youth’s actual level . Sect Younger Sister Lin Qing said that this youth is less than twenty years old . He is considered a toddler in the hidden martial arts strain . How can he be so monstrously powerful?”
Water Deity could not get her head around it . How could Mo Wen reach his current level at his age? He had even mastered four rite of passage martial arts . She had received training from her old ancestor and currently, she had only mastered three rite of passage martial arts .
“Whatever . Since this youth doesn’t want me to locate him, then I will let him be . With his ability, it will most likely be fine for him to venture into the Heart of the Red Stone Forest . Perhaps we will meet each other there . It’s just that I don’t know how far he can go . This time around, it will be rather challenging to get into the top ten of the Heaven List . ”
Water Deity transformed into a beam of light and disappeared once again .
Sometime later, a silhouette walked out from behind a rock wall . It was none other than Mo Wen .
“Why is that woman following me?”
Mo Wen stood where Water Deity had been standing . A look of deep thought flashed in his eyes . It was not the first time that the woman had appeared . When he encountered Bao Xun, he had noticed her presence .
In reality, after Mo Wen cultivated a deified soul, she could not hide from his deified soul’s sensory ability although this woman had incredible concealment ability .
He could sense that this woman was incredible, hence he pretended to not know anything to avoid alerting her .
“This woman’s cultivation is very high . It is most likely much higher than that of Lord Merciless . I hope she does not bear me any ill will . Otherwise, it would truly be troublesome . ”
Mo Wen shook his head . The world was vast . As expected, it was not as simple as it seemed . This Heaven List Tournament had many experts . Most likely half of the pinnacle geniuses had appeared here .
“Five days have already passed . The Heart of the Red Stone Forest should already be open . The outskirts are already of no value . In order to not fall behind the others, I should head to the Heart of the Red Stone Forest right now . ”

The Heart of the Red Stone Forest was the center of Red Stone Forest . Rumor had it that it was a very unique place . It was enveloped by a stratagem from the Huatian Palace . Normally, no one could enter . Only after five days had passed during the Heaven List Tournament could people enter that place .
There was a condition for participants to enter the Heart of the Red Stone Forest . They needed to have more than five hundred points in order to enter .
Also, only those who entered the Heart of the Red Stone Forest were qualified to contest in the final round . If one could not even enter the Heart of the Red Stone Forest, they were considered completely disqualified .
Five hundred points was not a small number . It would be very difficult for participants who did not have the ability to accumulate so many points . Many people would not even pass this first stage .
Rumor had it that the previous Heaven List Tournament only required two hundred points to enter the Heart of the Red Stone Forest . This time around, the difficulty was raised .
Also, in the previous Heaven List Tournament, criminals of the Martial Arts Grandmaster second realm and third realm would not appear at all . All of them would be restricted by the Huatian Palace . Only first realm Martial Arts Grandmasters would appear . But this time around, there was a high chance of second and third realm Martial Arts Grandmaster criminals appearing . For the participants, this would be a huge challenge .
Of course, these second and third realm Martial Arts Grandmaster criminals would not appear outside . They could only move about in the Heart of the Red Stone Forest . The strongest people in the outskirts were only first realm Martial Arts Grandmaster criminals .
The Huatian Palace ruled that only by entering the Heart of the Red Stone Forest and reaching a place known as Mechanized Maze City could one contest for a spot among the top ten .
If one could not enter the Heart of the Red Stone Forest and reach Mechanized Maze City, it would be useless no matter how many points they had accumulated .
The Huatian Palace also did this to prevent people who used special methods to accumulate points or those who were extremely lucky and picked up points from winning from entering . By providing a challenge, they could guarantee the fairness of the tournament .
Only by having powerful ability could one receive a high rank in the Heaven List Tournament .
The Heart of the Red Stone Forest was located a thousand kilometers within the Red Stone Forest . The deeper one walked, the more desolate it became . The surroundings were covered entirely with dark red boulders . There were traces of wind erosion on their surfaces .
When Mo Wen reached the place, a gigantic blue light shroud appeared in front of him . The light shroud connected the sky and the earth as though a screen descended from the sky, blocking Mo Wen’s path entirely .
“Is this the Heart of the Red Stone Forest?”
Mo Wen’s mouth curled to reveal a smile . Those strongest criminal groups and the most powerful criminal strong practitioners were all in the Heart of the Red Stone Forest . It was the biggest challenge for the participants too .
Mo Wen walked towards the blue sky screen and took out his jade pendant . He placed it on the sky screen . The jade pendant lit up and formed a type of connection with the blue sky screen . The next moment, ripples similar to water ripples appeared on the blue sky screen . They sucked Mo Wen’s body toward them and drew him into the sky screen bit by bit .
In the blink of an eye, Mo Wen had disappeared from his original spot completely .
The blue sky screen would automatically identify the points in the jade pendant . When the participants had more than 500 points in their jade pendants, the blue sky screen would grant them access .
“Lord Merciless, the Heart of the Red Stone Forest is most likely fraught with danger . I am not particularly skillful…”
Shao Ji said this as he stared at the gigantic sky screen, worried . He was standing in front of the blue sky screen with Lord Merciless .
Shao Ji had been following Lord Merciless for the past few days . He had seen with his own eyes how different this round of the Heaven List Tournament was . There were many participants who were stronger than him . Some were even terrifyingly powerful . Right now, Shao Ji had lost his earlier arrogance and confidence . He had realized that a common first realm Martial Arts Grandmaster was practically a nobody in this round of the Heaven List Tournament .
If Shao Ji had been alone, he would have no confidence that he could make it through the Heart of the Red Stone Forest . It was because the Heart of the Red Stone Forest was a dangerous place . Moreover, there were Martial Arts Grandmaster second realm and third realm criminals treating the participants as prey . The criminals were ready to hunt them down .
In the past, the strongest practitioners in the Heart of the Red Stone Forest were merely first realm Martial Arts Grandmasters . However, it was different this time around .
