Chapter 925: Chapter 925: Adventuring in the World

In ancient times, there were neither airplanes nor trains, and the best mode of transportation was horseback riding. Gu Fan, regrettably, was not adept at it, yet Mo Yun forced him to ride using rather brutal methods.

"What’s going on? Why are the women of ancient times even fiercer than the others?" Whenever Gu Fan said this with a pitiable attitude, Mo Yun would shoot him a cold glance, terrifying him into immediately making a gesture to seal his lips.

First, Mo Yun took Gu Fan back to the Magic Cult’s Headquarters, which was now deserted. Without anyone to clean, the place had fallen into dilapidation.

Gu Fan was puzzled and asked, "Why did you bring me here?"

Mo Yun was indifferent, "This is the Magic Cult’s Headquarters, a place forbidden to commoners, but these are exceptional times, so I made an exception for you."

"Thank you for thinking so highly of me. I’m forever grateful—if you could, please look down on me with all your disdain and kick me out." No sooner had Gu Fan finished speaking, he received a rolling of the eyes. With no other option, Gu Fan changed the subject, "Just you and me in this massive Magic Cult’s Headquarters, alone together, are you telling me the Devil Cult has no third party?"

His words came out completely inappropriate, and Mo Yun almost wanted to tear Gu Fan’s mouth apart, but she held back, "Our Devil Cult has been completely annihilated. I am the only one left."

"You can’t be serious, are the rumors in the world true?" Gu Fan took a careful look around, frowning worriedly.

Mo Yun, not understanding, asked, "What’s wrong, you seem nervous?"

Gu Fan explained, "If I were part of the Martial Arts world, knowing the Devil Cult has been destroyed, I would surely come to take advantage and see if I could find anything valuable amidst the ruins of the Devil Cult."

Upon hearing this, Mo Yun’s heart sank. How could she not have thought about this?

At that moment, hearty laughter erupted, followed by five people barging in, one of whom was tall and menacing, with an unfriendly countenance.

Mo Yun stepped forward and demanded, "Who are you to trespass into the Magic Cult’s Headquarters without permission?"

The group couldn’t help but laugh again, "What Magic Cult’s Headquarters? There is no more Devil Cult in the Martial Arts world. Please, don’t be naive."

"As long as I am here, the Devil Cult exists." Having said that, Mo Yun lashed out with her whip, her attack fierce, forcing the five men to retreat a step.

One of them, with a darkened expression, advised, "Miss, it appears you are the last of the Devil Cult. I advise you not to resist. Hand over the Devil Cult’s treasures and the secret script of Martial Arts, and I can grant you a way to live."

"If you want to take things from my Devil Cult, then come at me." Mo Yun was resolute, unwilling to yield, and it seemed she was ready to fight to the end with the Magic Cult’s Headquarters.

Gu Fan stood aside, supporting neither party, and even hoping for mutual destruction, so he could make his escape.

Just as Mo Yun was about to clash with these five men, another group of uninvited guests arrived, quite rudely, "The Devil Cult’s treasures and the secret script of Martial Arts—how can we let you have it all? We want a share too."

"Another group has come." Gu Fan observed the newcomers, each looking like no good, and suddenly he had a bad feeling that these would not be the only visitors.

Sure enough, Gu Fan’s premonition was confirmed as more and more people arrived, all with the astonishingly unanimous desire to plunder the Devil Cult’s possessions.

Of course, they wouldn’t start fighting until they saw the treasures, but the pressure in their hearts was also immense, facing so many rivals—it was quite the predicament.

Someone shouted threateningly, "Witch of the Devil Cult, hurry up and tell us where your Cult’s treasure and secret script of Martial Arts are hidden, or don’t blame us for being impolite."

Although the other party consisted of several groups, totaling over fifty individuals, with each harboring their own schemes, their immediate common goal was to force Mo Yun to disclose the whereabouts of the Devil Cult’s treasures.

Mo Yun clenched her teeth in secrecy, her body tensed up; she was not an opponent for so many, and from the ill-intentioned looks in their eyes, she guessed that even if she revealed the truth, these people wouldn’t spare her.

Gu Fan could tell that these so-called Martial Arts world characters were no different from street thugs and ruffians, all of them seeking to gain both wealth and beauty—they wanted the treasures of the Devil Cult as well as Mo Yun, the great beauty.

"Alright, stop pouting, things have come to this point, you might as well speak up," Gu Fan came over to make Mo Yun see the situation clearly, but his behavior aroused the curiosity of others. Someone asked, "And who might you be?"

"I am... I am..." Gu Fan stroked his chin, pondering what kind of identity he should assume in ancient times.

"Right, I am the incarnation of righteousness in the Martial Arts, a mighty hero of the generation, you can call me Young Hero Gu." Gu Fan said with all seriousness, but the listeners were confused; that Martial Arts nickname sounded so awkward to them.

Someone couldn’t help but sneer, "You call yourself the incarnation of Martial Arts righteousness? I might as well be the successor to the Leader of the Martial Arts Alliance!"

"Nonsense, as if the Leader of the Martial Arts Alliance would let you succeed them, it’d be more likely for me to take that position."

"Just rambling on, even if the position of the Leader of the Martial Arts Alliance were vacant, it wouldn’t be our turn."

"That’s not necessarily true, now that most of the First-rate Experts have perished, leaving behind only some mediocre ones, we all have a chance to compete."

These people went back and forth, discussing the possibility of becoming the Leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, and even Gu Fan was quite envious of the position, thinking how magnificent and exhilarating it would be to command the heroes of the world.

Gu Fan couldn’t help but say, "I also want to be the Leader of the Martial Arts Alliance; I wonder..."

Upon hearing this, the group couldn’t help but laugh, "You want to be the Leader of the Martial Arts Alliance? At first glance, you’re not even on par with a third-rate expert, you’re simply daydreaming."

"Am I not even as good as a third-rate expert?" Gu Fan somewhat disbelieved, considering he had also painstakingly practiced his fighting skills. Even if he wasn’t on par with Martial Arts experts, surely he wasn’t worse than a third-rate expert.

Seeing Gu Fan’s indignant look, one of them made a provocative gesture, "What, you don’t believe it? Alright then, let’s spar and see if you have the qualifications to be the Leader of the Martial Arts Alliance."

"Fine, let’s have a match, just to the point of contact," Gu Fan was somewhat excited, finally able to gauge how much he lagged behind these third-rate experts.

Gu Fan took a deep breath and then charged forward, swinging his fists, launching a fierce assault, confident that a round of combinations would at least make the opponent suffer a bit.

However, the opponent moved nimbly, easily dodging all of Gu Fan’s attacks, and then spotting the opening after Gu Fan’s move, counterattacked with a punch that landed solidly on Gu Fan’s body.

"My goodness, this guy is definitely a First-rate Expert," Mo Yun’s face paled as she watched. She had also misjudged, never expecting such an impressive figure amongst this rabble.
