Li Residence.
The winter sunset was about to plunge into the Qing River, still lingering, dyeing the vast Qinghe County with a captivating rose-colored glow.
Under the setting sun, the Li Residence also took on a fresh look, and at this time, the family was having dinner.
Li Dalong, who had returned from the Ying Family Old Residence, spoke with some lingering fear about his reconnaissance trip today.
"That Disaster Beast was truly terrifying. Preliminary estimates put it at least at a Sixth-Rank Disaster Beast. When we arrived, its body was covered in sword wounds, so it must have died just last night."
"Sixth-Rank, huh? Good thing it's dead... But who killed it?"
In a small county town like Qinghe County, Li Dalong, as the county Lieutenant , was only at the Inner Breath Realm. If a Disaster Beast equivalent to the Human Race's Inner Scenery Realm went berserk, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"I find it strange too."
Li Dalong shook his head and vividly described:
"There were no traces of a struggle at the scene, yet the Disaster Beast's body was covered in sharp sword wounds, as if from a strike that left no discernible trace. Son, do you have any ideas?"
Old Li had to admit that, in terms of martial arts, his son was already far more authoritative than him.
"Cough..."
Li Mo glanced at the Ice Cube, whose snowy cheeks moved slightly, and lightly coughed:
"It's probably some peerless expert who dislikes worldly troubles. After taking action, he simply brushed his sleeves and left, concealing his achievements and fame."
"A sword master in Qinghe County... It doesn't seem like there's anyone who could reach that level."
"Who says there isn't?"
Li Mo was the first to disagree.
But at this moment, Ying Bing picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and placed it in his bowl.
"Who is it?"
"That's right, it's me, your son! I was almost a Transverse Cloud Jian Ying, just that close."
Li Jianxian crooked his thumb and pointed to himself.
"Tsk..."
Both his father and mother rolled their eyes simultaneously, their expressions clearly showing considerable doubt.
"....."
Yantian Sect!
Killing you a thousand times wouldn't be enough!!!
Little Overlord Li thought, fortunately, he wasn't one of those arrogant protagonists from novels, otherwise, with such a great vendetta, wouldn't he have to wipe out entire families?
Getting back to the main topic. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
Li Mo put down his chopsticks and said seriously:
"Dad, Mom, I need to go out for a trip recently."
"It's almost New Year's, where are you going?"
"I'm going to Ziyang Prefecture. Since returning from the Southern Border, I haven't been back to my sect yet. It's only right to report my safety to my teachers and visit them."
"Oh, you've grown up."
You see, Xiao Li actually didn't want to lie to his parents.
But if he told the truth, saying that he was not only going to commit fraud, but also scamming the notorious Demon Summoning Sect, how could he possibly say it?
Ying Bing's delicate brows furrowed slightly, and she glanced at him.
.......
After dinner, Li Mo returned to his room. He remembered that he still had an investment feedback to claim, so he first summoned the System.
【Congratulations, Host, for successfully investing in 'Ying Bing' and dispelling her nightmare.】
【You have one pending investment feedback to claim.】
"Ice Cube bless me."
Xiao Li's expression was solemn. Before opening the feedback, he, for the first time, dabbled in a bit of metaphysics.
Well.
This is called, embracing the Ice Cube's feet at the last minute.
The things feedbacked from the Ice Cube were, of course, very good, but not necessarily what he needed in an emergency...
【Investment Feedback: mirage divine pearl】
【mirage divine pearl】: "This pearl can simulate various anomalies, even Realm cultivation, allowing the Host to be cool and awesome from 360 degrees, without any blind spots.
Your imagination determines how powerful you appear to be, though only in appearance.
It is recommended to have some experience in grandstanding before using it, otherwise, it's easy ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) to fail at showing off and get exposed instead..."
"....."
Li Mo summarized the item's description.
In short.
This thing just adds special effects for him, right?
In his palm, a thumb-sized round pearl appeared. Though small, it seemed to contain a heavy twilight, with Divine Intention rippling within.
"Can the Realm be changed at will?"
Li Mo's thoughts sank, and a wisp of Qi on his body suddenly surged.
Inner Scenery!
Outer Scenery!
Law Body!
Controlling Mystery!
It was only at the Controlling Mystery Realm that the surge of Qi abruptly stopped. After all, the strongest person Li Mo had ever seen was Abbot Huai Kong.
He had never even seen the higher Heaven-Reaching Realm, so naturally, he couldn't add special effects for it.
"My goodness, this feeling... so powerful."
Li Mo clenched his fist, then shook his head.
No matter what special effects were added, it was ultimately fake. His power level had not changed at all compared to before. It was fine to deceive others, but he shouldn't deceive himself...
But this also showed that this item was extremely miraculous.
Unless they actually fought, others wouldn't be able to tell, which made it perfectly suitable for his needs.
Clap—
The door was suddenly pushed open.
"Hmm?"
Li Mo looked up and saw Ying Bing standing at the doorway, bathed in the twilight, holding her sword, her eyes clear and solemn.
However, upon realizing that the Controlling Mystery aura came from Li Mo, the solemnity in her eyes turned into confusion.
"Ice Cube?"
"What are you doing?"
"Oh, I just temporarily embraced your leg, and the effect was outstanding."
"?"
Dispelling the aura and pressure of the Controlling Mystery Realm, Li Mo held the mirage divine pearl in his palm and explained it to her.
"Simulating aura and anomalies..."
Ying Bing walked into the room. She glanced at Li Dalong and his wife not far away, then closed the door:
"Are you perhaps planning to use this to deceive the Demon Summoning Sect again?"
"!!"
Looking at the Ice Cube's calm face, Li Mo leaned back slightly, his heart skipping a beat.
He hadn't said anything.
But she seemed to know exactly what he was thinking.
"Ice Cube, do you have some kind of superpower, like mind-reading?"
"He Xin Tong? Buddhism does have such martial arts, but I haven't practiced it."
"Then how do you know I'm not going back to Qingyuan Sect when I go to Ziyang Prefecture...?"
"Because you didn't ask me to come along."
Ying Bing's mirror-like eyes stared at him, making him feel uneasy.
"......"
Li Mo pouted and said helplessly:
"I'm not intentionally hiding it from you. It's just that the Demon Summoning Sect's people are primarily trying to probe me this time. My going is enough."
Ying Bing said softly, "I can help you."
"But if one more person goes, there's one more risk. The people coming this time are different from the Hall Master of Hundred Beasts last time."
Li Mo said, and seeing her pursed lips, he quickly said seriously:
"No calling me 'stinky little brother', and 'little brother' isn't allowed either."
He was afraid he wouldn't be able to resist.
Ying Bing stared at him, thinking for a moment, before speaking:
"Then I won't follow. Release your Yi Soul."
"Dual Cultivation now?"
"No, I've gained a new understanding of Taiyin Divine Intent, and combined with 'Phoenix Cries Heavenly Marsh', I've created a martial art somewhat similar to 'He Xin Tong'."
"When did you create it?" A small question mark appeared above Li Mo's head.
Aside from his Hammer Technique, it wasn't that easy for him to create martial arts even with Martial Arts Comprehension.
"Just now."
"????"
Before long, Ying Bing taught him the method.
It might really have been just created, because it was practically tailor-made for the two of them.
The prerequisite for using it was that both of them possessed Taiyin Divine Intent.
Once activated, it was like opening a comprehensive video call. The two could use Taiyin as a medium, ignoring spatial distance to establish a connection between their Yi Souls.
They could even see what he saw and hear what he heard.
Of course, there were limitations: it could only be used at night when there was a moon.
"Ice Cube, have you named this martial art?"
Li Mo looked at the moon climbing the night sky and asked subconsciously.
"Not yet."
"Then how about 'Communal Moon'?"
Li Mo felt more confident, exhaling a breath and smiling. freewebnoveℓ.com
Ying Bing's eyes flickered slightly, and she nodded gently.
She also quietly looked at the moon. Tonight's moonlight would probably be beautiful.
She wondered if many years ago, her parents had also stood side by side, watching the same full moon climb into the sky?
