Chapter 125: The Origin of Moku's Path

  "That's enough!" A furious voice rang out, and both the burly big man and the pointed-faced man stopped in their tracks, their faces momentarily frozen. The voice came from a handsome middle-aged man, although these people were not together. But all of them were hunters.

  As a hunter, there is also a circle where people trade and exchange intelligence, and of course, they will hunt each other down when necessary. In this circle, the handsome middle-aged man in front of him is one of the top ones.

  The middle-aged man's name was Nian An, a third-stage strongman in the Innate Realm. He was quite famous among hunters. In Star City, those who reached the Innate Realm were not many, basically only one or two out of a hundred people.

  So in the Star City, not many can reach the Innate Realm. Each star city has only around 10,000 to 20,000 people who can achieve this realm. Even if there are more, it won't be much more than that. Those who can reach the Innate Realm all have unique qualities, and it's even harder for them to advance a single step in the Innate Realm.

  There aren't many strong practitioners who have reached the third stage of Xiantian Realm, and it's even rarer for someone to reach the third stage in their middle age. This implies that by old age, they might be able to reach a higher stage of Xiantian Realm or even advance to the Rongshen Realm.

  Nian Ya not only advanced to the third stage of Xiantian at a middle age, but also grew extremely fast in the process of killing, and because of his cruel means, he made a name for himself among the hunters in Luocheng. So when Nian Ya shouted enough, both the sturdy man and the pointed-faced man wisely shut their mouths.

  Of course, Nian Ya wasn't feared because of his realm, but rather due to his extremely ruthless methods. He was also very powerful among the three-stage strongmen and could supposedly take on two First Heaven Three-Stage strongmen at the same time without falling behind.

  After scolding the two, he turned to Ye Chen and said, "Reaching the Second Stage of the Innate Realm at such a young age is not common, even in Xing City. In Jian City, it would be considered ordinary."

  Even in the Star City, those young masters of large families and core disciples of various sects were not much stronger than Ye Chen. Nian Ya's vision was not something that a rough man like him could compare to, and with one glance, he saw many problems from Ye Chen's realm.

  Of course, based on Nian Ya's speculation, most of them were wrong. In this era, very few people could cross the Star City alone to reach another Star City, even if they were Innate Realm strongmen, it was still very dangerous. Therefore, communication between the two places was rare, extremely rare, which was what Nian Ya understood.

  So Nian Ya looked at Ye Chen, and didn't think that Ye Chen would be a drifter from another Star City. Nian Ya regarded Ye Chen as someone from Luo City, and in Luo City, being able to reach the Second Stage of the Innate Realm at this age meant that Ye Chen was at least from a large clan or a major sect.

  Whether it's a big family or a big sect, neither is something that Nian Ya can afford to mess with. So Nian Ya hesitated a bit. Nian Ya was ruthless, but also had to consider the actual situation. If she were to gamble with her own life, she would have to think about whether it was worth it.

  After all, there is no great benefit to offending a powerful family or sect, it's not worth it. Nian Ya looked at Ye Chen with some hesitation, and Ye Chen also looked around at the few people with a guarded expression.

  Ye Chen had previously done things with the intention of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys, but Ye Chen obviously underestimated these hunters' desire for the secret book, and no one left, not even those two ordinary nine-stage cultivators.

  However, Ye Chen was not completely unprepared. Although the little panda was sometimes listless and seemed to be ignored, when it suddenly became cold and distant, even Ye Chen felt afraid, but this was uncertain.

  Of course, if these people were to rush up, Ye Chen could only summon the Yuanshen Bell to save the situation. However, looking at this scene, it had not yet reached the most dangerous state, and Ye Chen's expression was calm, with his hand gripping the long knife.

  The jet-black long sword exuded an unparalleled aura that was equally intimidating, and under the effect of Ye Chen's sword technique, its aura became even more formidable. Looking at Nian Ya, he said faintly, "You also want to rob me of my spoils of war?"

  "Hunters only hunt, and when they find something good, of course, they want to seize it. I don't know who you are, but as long as you hand over the secret recipe in your arms, I'll let you go." Nian Ya said calmly.

  "Heh heh, I think I've made myself clear enough. If you want to take my things, you'd better be prepared to have them snatched back. I don't know if you're ready for that," Ye Chen said.

  "You want to rob me?" Nian Ya looked at the young man in front of her with some amusement, not knowing whose family he was from, but his arrogant and self-important attitude made him unaware of the reality before his eyes. However, this only further confirmed to Nian Ya that the opponent was a member of a large clan or a core disciple of a major sect, as only such people would have such an air about them.

  "He's the real deal, I think Mu Dao is also a very famous one among your hunters, right?" Ye Chen pointed with his long knife at Mu Dao who was still lying there. To have reached the Second Stage of the Innate Realm at such a young age, it was clear that he wasn't a simple person. Besides being from a large family or sect, it could only be due to an extraordinary innate talent. All three were extremely powerful.

  Looking at Mu Dao lying on the ground, even Nian Ya's mouth twitched slightly. Mu Dao was not very famous in the hunting circle, but extremely famous. As a member of the Mu family, one of the three major forces in Luo City, Mu Dao didn't have anyone dare to provoke him even in the hunting circle.

  There was once a strong man who, due to a momentary lapse in judgment, went to rob Mokudo of something he had obtained. The strong man's power was immense, and Mokudo nearly died as a result. In the end, Mokudo managed to escape with great difficulty.

  It would have been nothing, just another ordinary thing, the kind of thing that happens every day in the wilderness outside the city. It was what happened next that made many hunters from Luocheng tremble with fear.

  Mokudo, who had escaped with his body covered in blood, underwent simple treatment and surprisingly did not rest. Instead, he directly took the three family guardians out to seek revenge.

  The strength of the large family's worship is much stronger than that of the strong, all of whom are at the ninth level of the Innate Realm. Faced with the pursuit and killing of these three strong men, the strong man had no room to escape and was directly killed.

  Facing this kind of unbeatable situation, let the family's guardian come out to help avenge themselves, and they are three innate ninth-level strongmen.

  A powerhouse of this level would render even the strongest hunters speechless, and one alone could walk unopposed among the hunters in Luocheng, let alone three.

  The news spread quickly among the hunters and in no time all of them knew about the great name of Mokdang.

  Moreover, they knew that behind Mu Dao stood three innate ninth-stage powerhouses, so many hunters who encountered Mu Dao didn't dare to make a move unless they had absolute confidence in being able to kill Mu Dao without letting him send out any information.

  But such absolutely confident people are basically non-existent among the hunters in Los City, let alone their strength, even a congenital fifth-order strongman may not be able to kill Mu Dao on the spot.

  But if the boundary is higher, basically no need to hunt in the suburbs to get a rich reward. A strong man of the sixth stage of Xiantian is an indispensable force in any family or sect in Star City, and the rewards obtained are much more than those brought by hunting.
