Otherworldly Desert Dust-Chapter 619 - 571: New Grudges and Old Scores
...
Wu Hen arrived as soon as he heard the news.
By this time the day had fully brightened, likely due to the various special prohibitions in Infinite City; the fluctuations generated in a particular area couldn't be transmitted to another area at all. Even though Hundred Lakes Mansion and Modern City were separated by nothing more than an avenue, the seemingly ordinary layout of the buildings was actually infused with an Immortal's Qimen Dunjia techniques, making it difficult to observe the dynamics outside the city. Many times, Wu Hen even felt that everything outside was just intricate wallpaper.
Upon arriving at Hundred Lakes Mansion, Wu Hen saw Ruan Muhuan in the middle of the lake, with a small ice crystal forming at the water where her toes touched, and all the surrounding pavilions, towers, palace halls, and pagodas were covered with sword traces of various sizes.
These sword traces had even indiscriminately fallen on the senior members of the Martial God Institute.
"You, the dignified Martial God Institute, representing the highest Divine Power of the Martial God Supercontinent, were united to bully a weak woman. As the Black Immortal Venerable dedicated to justice in Infinite City, I can never forgive you!" Wu Hen, not fully understanding the situation, immediately furious, directed his accusations at the Martial God Institute.
The eight Martial Gods of the Martial God Institute—Fei Que Martial God, White-faced Martial God, Purple Qi Nether Martial God, Gray Robe Martial God—were either lying on the ground, half-kneeling and controlling their breath, or covering still-bleeding wounds. Hearing Wu Hen's inexplicable accusations, they were even more furious!
In the Hundred Lakes Mansion, there were also many heroes of the True Martial Continent watching from a distance.
Hearing Wu Hen's loud rebuke, everyone fell silent.
"Han Han, are you alright?" Wu Hen ran forward, asking with concern.
"Ah, Brother Wu, why are you just arriving now? If you were any later..." At this moment, Du Mao, who had been acting as a protector, appeared. Seeing Wu Hen arrive, he stopped hiding.
"If I were a bit later, what would have happened? You, old bastards of the Martial God Institute, once acquiesced to Jiang Qi, that dog, bullying my Han Han. Today, you even brazenly united to trample on new Martial Gods; it's unbearable!" At this point, Wu Hen was about to completely lose it.
Wu Hen's momentum grew more terrifying, summoning the Jade Emperor Qilin as he stood like the Heavenly God Mountain before these benighted Martial Gods.
"If you were a bit later, Ruan Muhuan would have killed them all. I told her about Fairy Gong Qin and you; she probably has some emotions about it and after just waking up early in the morning, she was too harsh on the Institute members. I couldn't stop her, so I hurried people to call you over, hoping you could smooth things over. After all, they are still seniors of the Institute, and conflicts can be discussed without needing everyone to be eradicated, right?" Du Mao looked as if he was in a difficult spot.
Originally, it was just meant to give the Martial God Institute a lesson.
However, Ruan Muhuan had improved her cultivation significantly over the years. While others reached the pinnacle of the Martial God Realm, she had entered the Martial God Realm at the true beginning of Martial Arts. The eight Martial Gods together were no match for Ruan Muhuan.
As for Chang Chou, there was no sign of him.
He was hiding somewhere.
It was no wonder that people had been saying for years that the Martial God Institute was just Ruan Muhuan and other Martial Gods. Today it seemed they had truly understated...
"Martial God Ruan, we will follow your lead. Whether you support a Black Immortal or want to become a Martial Immortal yourself, we will support you with no dissent. Just give us some face," Purple Qi Nether Martial God began pleading, his earlier anger dissipating.
"The Martial God Institute always speaks with strength. You win, we follow you. Can we stop fighting now?" The White-faced Martial God, now turned Blood-faced Martial God, with his mouth and nose bleeding, said.
Ruan Muhuan sheathed her sword.
Turning back to Wu Hen, she faintly smiled and said, "Now the entire True Martial Continent can legitimately support you, the Black Immortal."
"Look at you, sweating so much. Let me handle such rough work next time; I'm more precise," Wu Hen hurriedly stepped up to wipe the sweat for the Valkyrie who had just finished a battle.
"That won't do. Since you aspire to become an Immortal, you should deal with other Immortals. We'll handle the affairs of the Human Clan," Ruan Muhuan insisted.
"Alright, where's Chang Chou? Did he hide away?" Wu Hen asked.
Chang Chou was a member of the Star Mark Plan. Since Ruan Muhuan had dealt with his lackeys, Wu Hen wanted to seize and interrogate Chang Chou.
"I... I know where Chang Chou is," the White-faced Martial God said in a small voice.
"Where?" Ruan Muhuan asked.
"He went to the Mountain Mansion of the Red Immortal last night, saying he needed to discuss some matters," the White-faced Martial God replied.
"Brother Wu, Chang Chou has led the Martial God Institute for many years. To make the entire True Martial Continent comply with the current situation, we must strike hard against him. No matter where he's hiding, we must drag him out..." Du Mao suggested.
"Do we need to be so rough?" Wu Hen suddenly felt he was the conservative one.
"That Red Immortal, I know him. His ten-year tribulation is the Nine Heavens Thunder. If our True Martial Continent joins forces with the Red Immortal, the skies of the whole Supercontinent will be permanently filled with thunderclouds. Countless young martial artists will die each year, which is an additional catastrophe for our people," Du Mao said.
"Aren't you in seclusion? How do you know so much?" Wu Hen asked in surprise.
"Hehe, I have my informants," Du Mao glanced at the Blood-faced Martial God, subtly hinting to Wu Hen that this guy was his man.
Though straightforward, Du Mao was not without cunning.
Over the years, Chang Chou eradicated dissidents in the Martial God Institute, making it obey him. During his tyrannical reign, many geniuses like Ruan Muhuan and Du Mao fell.
He had the audacity to speak of leading the True Martial Continent to a glorious High Martial era, crushing even the Holy Sect.
Chang Chou had strangled so many talented Martial Gods, yet he remained oblivious?

The continent's citizens struggled to survive; how could pure True Martial Gods emerge?
The seedlings were cut off, and the Qi Technique of the entire True Martial Super Continent was suffocated by Chang Chou!
Thus, upon learning that Chang Chou intended to support the Red Immortal and claimed to usher in a more glorious era, Du Mao wished to stomp the old dog into a dung pit, as he was just as foul from soul to body.
Du Mao then disclosed to Wu Hen the grievances he had endured and investigated over the years.
"Back when you fell from being a genius, we became fellow sufferers at Red Snow Village. Was that Chang Chou's doing?" Wu Hen asked.
"Yes, it was him. So when we storm the Red Immortal Mansion, don't intervene. I want to personally settle this old dog and expose his vile deeds so the world understands why our True Martial Super Continent has fallen to this state!" Du Mao said with righteous indignation.
