Mad Lion Tie Zhan: The Truth About Mo Lingna
The Heaven-Piercing Tower was a very famous place throughout the Great Tang Dynasty. It was opened once every ten years and was rumored to lead to the Minor Thousand Worlds of the Immortal Realm. It was no wonder that it was famous. So, as the opening day of the Heaven-Piercing Tower gradually approached, the number of Cultivator gathered at the entrance of the Heaven-Piercing Tower was naturally very large. Many geniuses who were rarely seen and whose faces were rarely seen all appeared one by one.
Heaven-Piercing Peak is not actually a particularly large or magnificent mountain; it is more accurately described as a bare rocky mountain with no special features. However, it is the place where the Heaven-Piercing Tower's Minor Thousand Worlds opens once every ten years, thus making this originally unnoticed bare rocky mountain famous.
The Heaven-Piercing Tower was originally a Minor Thousand Worlds wandering in the Void, but why does it open precisely once every ten years on this Heaven-Piercing Peak? No one knows the specific reason, but all that is known is that entering it can bring great benefits.
When Zhuge Xiang and his companions arrived at Heaven-Piercing Peak, it was indeed already overcrowded. Unlike the Hundred Emperors Tomb, which required an examination to enter, the Great Tang Dynasty did not restrict the appearance of the Heaven-Piercing Tower. Anyone who wanted to enter could do so. Whether they left with benefits or died inside depended on their own fate.
Although Heaven-Piercing Peak was packed with people, even teeming with them, there were certain places that no one dared to approach, because these places were occupied by a powerful figure renowned throughout the country.
"See that? That's Lin Qingyu, the Talisman Venerable of Qingxu Mountain. He's only twenty-five or twenty-six years old, yet he's already reached the True Essence Realm. Stepping into the Void Realm is just around the corner."
"Look at that Young Sect Master of the Myriad Beast Sect, Mad Lion Tie Zhan. He's no less powerful than Lin Qingyu. I heard he's only in his early thirties, and his cultivation has already reached the Gathering Origin Stage..."
"Hiss, who is it? Could it be the Second Prince Li Buling?" Amidst the buzz of discussion about the powerful figures gathered on Heaven-Piercing Peak, someone exclaimed in surprise, "Li Buling! The Second Prince of the Great Tang Dynasty, around thirty years old, his cultivation is almost at the Gathering Origin Stage. His status is illustrious, and his cultivation is astonishing!"
When Zhuge Xiang and his group arrived at Heaven-Piercing Peak, no one recognized them. However, Zhuge Xiang didn't care about such empty titles and waited patiently for the Heaven-Piercing Tower to appear.
However, when Mo Lingna saw Tie Zhan, the Young Sect Master of the Myriad Beast Sect, her expression changed slightly. Li Zhi also looked a little strange when he saw Li Buling, but Zhuge Xiang did not notice any of this.
However, Tie Zhan, the Young Sect Master of the Myriad Beast Sect, known as the Mad Lion, truly possessed the perception of a wild beast. When Mo Lingna's gaze fell upon him, he sensed it and turned his head. Among the thousands of Cultivators on Heaven-Piercing Peak, his gaze instantly locked onto Mo Lingna's location.
Sensing Tie Zhan's gaze fixed on her, Mo Lingna's expression changed slightly, a hint of fear flashing in her eyes. However, at that moment, a pair of warm, large hands suddenly appeared and embraced Mo Lingna's shoulders...
The warm embrace made Mo Lingna lift her head, and she met Zhuge Xiang's eyes. Nestled in Zhuge Xiang's arms, the fear in Mo Lingna's heart quickly subsided, and she felt very at ease.
"You must know the Young Sect Master of the Myriad Beast Sect, right? Let's go say hello," Zhuge Xiang said, looking at Mo Lingna.
When the Nine Beast Forbidden Canon was mentioned that day, Mo Lingna mentioned that she came from the Myriad Beast Sect. Judging from Mo Lingna's reaction to Tie Zhan, Zhuge Xiang could naturally guess a lot of things.
"Hmph..." Seeing Mo Lingna's appearance, and that she was also on Heaven-Piercing Peak, Tie Zhan was slightly taken aback. Then, seeing Zhuge Xiang embracing Mo Lingna, his tiger eyes were filled with intense anger. He snorted coldly and moved to walk over, but found that Zhuge Xiang and Mo Lingna had taken the initiative to come over first.
"Is this Tie Zhan, the Young Sect Master of the Myriad Beast Sect?" With one arm around Mo Lingna, Zhuge Xiang approached her and asked.
"Hmph, since you know who I am, it seems you also know about the relationship between me and Mo Lingna? Are you prepared to surrender?" With a cold snort, Mad Lion Tie Zhan said in a chilling voice, and before Zhuge Xiang could answer, he made his move.
The word "mad" perfectly describes the other party's personality. Zhuge Xiang Mad Lion n't know what the relationship was between Mo Lingna and Tie Zhan, but he didn't expect that the other party would attack as soon as she opened her mouth.
With his cultivation at the Gathering Origin Stage and his status as the Young Sect Master of the Myriad Beast Sect, Tie Zhan's claw strike was incredibly powerful, a sight to behold. This seemingly ordinary attack was something Zhuge Xiang found difficult to withstand and dodge.
Zhuge Xiang hadn't expected the Tie Zhan Claw to be so reckless, attacking instantly. However, Zhuge Xiang had been through countless battles, so his reaction wasn't quick either. He clenched his fist, channeling a powerful aura into it.
"Bull Demon Fist!" However, before Zhuge Xiang could make a move, Mo Lingna was faster. Mo Lingna was more familiar with Tie Zhan than Zhuge Xiang, so she had already anticipated that Tie Zhan would suddenly make a move.
Boom!
The Bull Demon Fist collided with the opponent's claws, the terrifying force sending Tie Zhan staggering back several steps. However, Mo Lingna was also knocked back; the clash between the fist and the claw was surprisingly evenly matched.
"This guy, as expected of the young Sect Master of a Large Sect..." Mo Lingna's Bull Demon Fist could even repel the Southern Bright Bird King, a half-step Demon Monster, but this Tie Zhan was actually on par with Mo Lingna's Bull Demon Fist in terms of power. No wonder Zhuge Xiang was shocked.
"Bull Demon Fist? You actually managed to comprehend the Nine Beast Forbidden Canon..." Tie Zhan's face was extremely ugly, filled with boundless rage. He stared at Mo Lingna with a gloomy expression, both shocked and furious.
"Who is that woman? How could she withstand a blow from Mad Lion Tie Zhan and be evenly matched?"
Tie Zhan was already a well-known figure on Heaven-Piercing Peak, and his every move was being watched. Now that he had suddenly made a move and was even blocked by a young woman, it was no wonder that the Cultivator on Heaven-Piercing Peak were discussing it.
No one recognized Mo Lingna, let alone Zhuge Xiang and his group. Therefore, the many Cultivators on Heaven-Piercing Peak discussed and secretly suspected the identities of Zhuge Xiang and his group.
Those who could withstand Tie Zhan's attack were certainly no nobody, yet, strangely enough, no one present recognized them.
"Senior Brother Tie Zhan, this is a grudge between us. I hope you won't take it out on others," Mo Lingna said earnestly, staring at Tie Zhan after blocking his attack with a Bull Demon Fist.
"Ha, why take out your grudges on others?" Upon hearing Mo Lingna's words, Tie Zhan seemed to have heard the funniest thing and said, "Judging from your appearance, are you just ordinary friends? My wife, the Mad Lion Tie Zhan, is being held in someone else's arms, and you're telling me not to take my anger out on him?"
"Hiss, this woman is actually Tie Zhan's wife?" Tie Zhan's words caused many people on Heaven-Piercing Peak who were secretly speculating about the identities of Mo Lingna and the others to exclaim in surprise.
"Wife? When did Tie Zhan Marriage? Such a major event, the entire Great Tang Dynasty couldn't possibly be unaware of it." But some people were astonished by the news.
"Wife? Could it be? This woman is..." However, on Heaven-Piercing Peak, there were also many geniuses of noble status and powerful cultivation who looked at Mo Lingna in surprise. Obviously, they had all heard of her.
Tie Zhan's words astonished not only those on Heaven-Piercing Peak, but even Lu Yuling and Wu Zhao stared at her in surprise. Was she someone else's wife before? Then why was there something between her and Zhuge Xiang?
Zhuge Xiang frowned slightly. When Mo Lingna talked about the Nine Beast Forbidden Canon before, she mentioned her relationship with the Myriad Beast Sect, but she was already someone else's wife. Zhuge Xiang had never heard her mention this before. Was she deliberately deceiving him?
Tie Zhan spoke, and Mo Lingna's expression changed drastically. She hadn't expected him to say such a thing so openly in front of Zhuge Xiang. Mo Lingna's attention was focused on Zhuge Xiang, and seeing his brows furrow, her heart skipped a beat. "Husband, listen to me, it's not what you think, I..."
"Tie Zhan's wife? Could it be that Miss Mo is the fiancée of the one who caused such a stir at the Myriad Beast Sect a few days ago, the one who stole the Nine Beast Forbidden Canon Myriad Beast Sect?" Mo Lingna hurriedly explained to Zhuge Xiang, but before she could finish speaking, Li Zhi, who was standing next to her, seemed to have thought of something and asked in surprise.
"Oh? It seems that your story of the Tie Zhan was quite a sensation in the Great Tang Dynasty..." Zhuge Xiang said to Mo Lingna, having heard Li Zhi's words and realizing that even he knew about it.
"No wonder," Li Zhi finally realized. Although Mad Lion Tie Zhan was hot-tempered, he wasn't an unreasonable person. But he had attacked Zhuge Xiang without saying a word. Now Li Zhi finally understood what had happened.
"Husband? You and this boy got married?" Tie Zhan, who was already furious, became even more enraged when he heard Mo Lingna's address to Zhuge Xiang. His face darkened to the point of being dripping with water, and his eyes were filled with undisguised killing intent as he looked at Zhuge Xiang.
Speaking of which, the relationship between Tie Zhan and Mo Lingna is truly extraordinary. Looking at Zhuge Xiang and Mo Lingna, he couldn't help but recall the first time he met Mo Lingna...
The story begins with Mo Lingna leaving Sea God Island. Originally, Mo Lingna was just an ordinary person. By chance, yearning for the vibrant world beyond Sea God Island, she secretly left. Unfortunately, it was too dangerous for an ordinary person to navigate the Sea God Island in a small Flatboat. A storm and a massive tsunami capsized Mo Lingna's boat, thus, in a way, setting Mo Lingna on the path of cultivation... (To be continued...)
