Mo Lingna's Past
Years ago, Mo Lingna sailed a small boat, yearning for the vibrant world beyond Sea God Island. She left Sea God Island alone, but unfortunately, as an ordinary person who had never cultivated, she encountered a storm at sea, which caused her boat to capsize with a tsunami. She herself was on the verge of death.
Fortunately, Tie Zhan, the Young Sect Master of the Myriad Beast Sect, was traveling in the East Sea with some friends when he encountered the unconscious Mo Lingna. He took her back to the Myriad Beast Sect, and that's how Mo Lingna became a disciple and began her cultivation Myriad Beast Sect.
Mo Lingna is the kind of person who, once she decides what she wants, will charge forward without hesitation. Just like with Zhuge Xiang, since it's cultivation, Mo Lingna trains desperately in order to gain powerful strength.
It must be said that Mo Lingna's talent is truly remarkable, even outstanding. Coupled with her hard work and the fact that Tie Zhan often talks about her, she has actually attracted the attention of Tie Shan, the leader of the Myriad Beast Sect.
Her own son always boasted to her about how hard-working the woman he rescued was, how fast her cultivation progressed, and how every few days she would say that she had already grasped the Qi Energy, entered the Qi Cultivation Realm and become a formal cultivator, and then entered the Body Tempering Realm, Meridian Opening Realm, Void Splitting Realm, Innate Realm, Return to Simplicity Realm...
Tie Zhan frequently mentioned Mo Lingna's name and her cultivation progress. Tie Shan, the sect leader of the Myriad Beast Sect, knew that his son had taken a liking to the woman. In addition, Tie Shan was secretly surprised by the progress Tie Zhan mentioned. Therefore, he found an opportunity to meet Mo Lingna.
After meeting her, he personally tested her, and the result pleased Tie Shan. Mo Lingna's talent was indeed very high, and she cultivated diligently, far more so than many men. In addition, knowing his son's feelings, Tie Shan took Mo Lingna under his wing as his True Disciple.
The Myriad Beast Sect was Large Sect in the Great Tang Dynasty. With her sudden rise to become True Disciple of the Iron Palm Sect Master, Mo Lingna's status underwent a dramatic change, which could even be described as a leap over the dragon gate. More importantly, after becoming True Disciple of the Iron Sect Master, Tie Zhan and Mo Lingna had more time to interact.
In the blink of an eye, the two had spent several years together. These years of interaction intensified Tie Zhan's feelings for Mo Lingna. Finally, he asked his father for permission to marry Mo Lingna...
Having spent several years in the Myriad Beast Sect, Mo Lingna also heard about the Nine Beast Forbidden Canon technique of the Myriad Beast Sect, during those years. Since she was Cultivator, she should cultivate the best Cultivation Technique.
Knowing exactly what she wanted, Mo Lingna also made her request to her Master, Tie Shan, hoping to the Cultivation Sect's supreme divine skill Nine Beast Forbidden Canon.
The Nine Beast Forbidden Canon, as the Sect-Guarding Secret Art of the Myriad Beast Sect, is not easily passed on even to True Disciple. However, Mo Lingna's talent and her son's request put Tie Shan in a dilemma. After some consideration, Tie Shan actually agreed to Mo Lingna's request, but with only one condition: that Mo Lingna marry Tie Zhan.
Once the two of them get married, the Nine Beast Forbidden Canon Scripture will be passed down to them as family. Moreover, Tie Shan wants to keep Mo Lingna by his side because of her talent. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of a peerless genius if she were to marry someone else in the future?
This was Tie Shan's idea. He could also see that Mo Lingna had no romantic feelings for Tie Zhan. Therefore, he proposed that Mo Lingna and Tie Zhan marry, using the Nine Beast Forbidden Canon as a condition.
Faced with her Master's request, Mo Lingna only said that she needed to think about it. After pondering for a whole night, she personally went to Tie Shan, the Sect Master of the Myriad Beast Sect, and expressed her willingness to agree to her Master's request. And just like that, the marriage was settled...
Mo Lingna nodded in agreement, Tie Shan was relieved, and Tie Zhan jumped up with joy. Soon, the two had a grand engagement ceremony. During the engagement, Tie Zhan handed the Nine Beast Forbidden Canon to Mo Lingna in front of everyone as a betrothal gift.
The engagement was settled, and the Wedding date had been set. Tie Shan was very satisfied with having Mo Lingna as a daughter-in-law. Tie Zhan was so happy that he couldn't sleep, as Mo Lingna, whom he had longed for, was willing to marry him.
But devastating news arrived the next day: Mo Lingna had disappeared...
They held the invitations in their hands, ready to send them out to everyone in the Great Tang Dynasty, but then Mo Lingna disappeared. This news stunned Tie Shan and his son. They quickly realized that Mo Lingna had no intention of marrying Tie Zhan at all; she had only one goal: the Nine Beast Forbidden Canon.
Indeed, that's just Mo Lingna's personality. Once she sets her mind on something, she'll go to any lengths, even resorting to unscrupulous means, to get it. She set her sights on the Nine Beast Forbidden Canon, pretending to agree to marry Tie Zhan Mo Lingna. After obtaining the Cultivation Technique at the engagement ceremony, she fled back to Sea God Island...
Now, the Tie Shan Sect Master was furious. He never expected that his own True Disciple would do such a thing. As for Tie Zhan, he was also angry about Mo Lingna's departure, but he didn't harbor much hatred...
Upon learning that Mo Lingna was unwilling to marry him and that her only purpose was the Nine Beast Forbidden Canon, Tie Zhan felt no hatred, only disappointment.
The Nine Beast Forbidden Canon? As the Sect Master's True Disciple, I am qualified to learn it, so why resort to such methods? Why deceive myself?
Since Mo Lingna left, Tie Zhan had been trying to make things clear to her: it was okay if she didn't want to marry him, but she couldn't deceive him. Moreover, he wouldn't give up; he was determined to move her and make her agree.
Today, seeing Mo Lingna again on Heaven-Piercing Peak, Tie Zhan was mostly happy. However, when he saw Zhuge Xiang embracing Mo Lingna and she didn't even resist, he was consumed by jealousy, which was hard for Tie Zhan to accept.
He could tolerate Mo Lingna's lack of love and acceptance of him; he could work hard to overcome it, and one day, sincerity would move mountains. However, if she already had another man, Tie Zhan could not accept this.
"Kid, are you really not afraid of death? If you've got the guts, don't hide behind a woman. Fight me fair and square. If you dare touch my woman, be prepared to face my wrath."
Tie Zhan's eyes were fixed on Zhuge Xiang, his expression like that of a lion that hadn't eaten for days—mad, bloodthirsty, and filled with undisguised malice.
"Did that woman lose her mind? Tie Zhan is the Young Sect Master of the Ten Myriad Beast Sect! How could she abandon such a man and run off with some nobody?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, I never thought that someone as strong as Tie Zhan would ever be cuckolded."
"In my opinion, it's that bastard who dared to steal Tie Zhan's woman who's even more audacious and reckless; he truly doesn't know what's good for him."
Upon hearing Tie Zhan's declaration of war, numerous Cultivators on Heaven-Piercing Peak began to discuss the matter animatedly.
Overall, however, everyone felt that Zhuge Xiang was reckless for daring to mess with Tie Zhan's woman. They also thought that Mo Lingna was stupid for rejecting a powerful and high-status man like Tie Zhan and instead running off with an unknown guy.
"Make a move? As you wish..." Zhuge Xiang said, looking at the Mad Lion Tie Zhan, his eyes also filled with intense fighting spirit.
Zhuge Xiang will not discuss his relationship with Mo Lingna for the time being, nor will he inquire about the reasons for his hatred towards him. He will also ignore the discussions of the surrounding Cultivator. In any case, if someone challenges him and wants to Duel with him, Zhuge Xiang has absolutely no reason to refuse.
Golden Boss Rank at the seventh level of the Gathering Origin Stage means a high amount of Experience Points and a high drop rate.
"Has this guy gone mad? Tie Zhan has long been a genius capable of challenging those of higher levels. Now his cultivation is at the Gathering Origin Stage. Even Cultivator at the Void Core Stage are few and far between. This guy is merely at the True Essence Realm, yet he dares to accept the challenge?" Zhuge Xiang's agreement astonished the Cultivator on Heaven-Piercing Peak, who began to discuss it amongst themselves.
"Very good, at least he's a man," Tie Zhan nodded and said in a deep voice. Before Zhuge Xiang could react, he made his move.
With his body sprawled out on all fours like a wild beast, Tie Zhan pounced on Zhuge Xiang. In mid-air, Tie Zhan's body grew longer against the wind, instantly transforming into a gigantic lion over ten feet tall, exuding a demonic Demonic Qi filled with ferocity...
The Mad Lion Tie Zhan, Mad Lion title comes from his ability to transform into a demonic lion at any time.
The lion, over ten feet tall, pounced forward, appearing like a flying elephant, exuding immense pressure. Its sharp, hard tusks and gleaming claws revealed its immense strength.
"Hmph, trying to intimidate me from the start?" Seeing the demonic lion pounce before he could react, Zhuge Xiang naturally understood its intentions. He trembled his Dragon's Judgment Sword and, without any fancy moves, slashed at the demonic lion, Knockback.
The Knockback Skill, while lacking any offensive power, could still repel the target. With Sword Slash, the menacing demonic lion was sent flying by Zhuge Xiang's blade...
"How is that possible? A complete rout!?"
Tie Zhan, enraged, transformed into his true form as Mad Lion, showing no mercy. Yet, his fierce pounce was simply cleaved away by the opponent? The Cultivator, who had initially thought Zhuge Xiang was doomed, stared wide-eyed. Their lively discussions suddenly fell silent, as if someone had grabbed their throats.
"Hmm?" Over there, the Second Prince Li Buling and the Talisman Venerable Lin Qingyu of Qingxu Mountain were both slightly taken aback by this scene. As geniuses who were famous Great Tang Dynasty, they had some understanding of the Mad Lion's strength.
"Three Consecutive Slashes!" Seeing Tie Zhan, whose momentum had been shattered after Knockback away by him, Zhuge Xiang's figure transformed into a shadow too fast for the naked eye to see and chased after him.
