Free Web NovelLi Residence, Qinghe County.
Though [N O V E L I G H T] fine snow clearly drifted through the night, a clear beam of moonlight pierced through the dark clouds, casting a frosty glow upon the side chambers.
It also brought with it a fleeting glimpse from a thousand miles away.
It was the scene within the Happy Sheep Hot Pot Restaurant.
The young girl, who had just celebrated her seventeenth birthday, was bathed in moonlight, quietly observing the shimmering light before her.
“Dream God....”
Ying Bing’s eyes, reflecting the moonlight, rippled slightly.
She knew this was one of the three Ancestral Gods worshipped by the Demon Summoning Sect.
Yet, in her memory, this Dream God had always been dormant; she had never heard of any signs of its revival.
In her previous life, after she entered the Qingyuan Sect, she endured many hardships. By the time she returned to Qinghe County, she was already in the Controlling Mystery Realm and the Master of the Gui Palace.
When she returned to Qinghe County in the Controlling Mystery Realm, she also did not encounter that black Year Beast...
Could it be that the one truly looking for her was the Dream God?
She had originally only intended to use her foresight from her previous life to act as a safeguard for Li Mo, never expecting that after all these twists and turns, she would once again be seemingly implicated in the Ying Family’s demise...
“Whether there’s a connection or not, I can only take it one step at a time.”
Ying Bing calmed the surging thoughts in her mind and continued to look at the scene.
But after seeing what was happening, her furrowed brows relaxed into a helpless expression.
He was truly good at bluffing.
And she still had to help him bluff.
The first time was new, the second time was familiar. Han Xianzi was already helping him bluff the Demon Summoning Sect for the second time.
Within the moonlight projection.
“Since we’ve agreed, then after we finish eating, we’ll... Hmm?”
Luo Yexian had just extended his chopsticks when he found all six plates on the table empty.
“Who ate so fast?”
“Hmm? I clearly ordered quite a bit.”
Li Mo wiped his mouth with a solemn expression.
It was well-known that Xiao Li was a Genius with strong learning abilities. He often ate at the same table as Elder Qian in Yunzhou and had already inherited three-tenths of his true Legacy.
“In that case, without further ado, let’s depart.”
“But we haven’t eaten yet... Cough, important matters first.”
“Waiter, check, please.”
“Lord Luo is too kind.”
Li Mo thanked him with a smile.
Luo Yexian was stunned. He had only helped call the waiter; he hadn't said he was paying.
But, Black Earth Immortal had already thanked him, so he had no choice but to pull out the silver.
As the group walked out, Luo Yexian continued to speak flattering words:
“Don’t be a stranger. Why thank me? Our two families have deep roots; we’re all one family.”
“Hahaha, indeed. Lord Luo, why don’t we address each other as brothers from now on? How about it?”
Li Heitu Immortal was in a good mood. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
He was full, hadn’t spent a single coin, and had even earned ten taels of silver. How could he not be in a good mood?
“Brother, I, Luo, have wandered half my life, and seeing you, I feel like I’ve found my long-lost Elder brother.”
Luo Yexian, who was skilled at expanding his connections, had tears in his tiger eyes and was deeply moved.
“Sacred Son Nephew, quick, call him My Little Uncle.”
Tan Zhuyin: “?”
He had just returned after excusing himself to the latrine and discussing a few matters with the two Law Body powerhouses.
What, did going to the outhouse change his seniority?
Looking at the middle-aged, grizzled Luo Yexian, and then at the youthful Black Earth Immortal, he didn't understand how his unlucky My Little Uncle’s brother could say such a thing.
Are you two from the same era?
“Great Nephew, this person’s age, perhaps like his Realm, isn’t quite what it seems. We might even be the ones getting the better deal.”
Luo Yexian felt no psychological burden in calling him ‘Brother.’
Tan Zhuyin frowned, shot him a glare, and then said seriously.
“From here to Lanke Mountain is about five hundred li. Why don’t we depart now?”
“Heh, children are thin-skinned. As outsiders, why should we care about worldly titles?”
“Let’s go.”
Li Mo said aloud, then asked the moon in his heart.
“Ice Cube, what kind of movement technique looks more like it belongs to a powerful being?”
Of course, his imagination was up to par.
But since there were two Law Body Realm experts secretly observing, even displaying his divine power had to adhere to the fundamental laws of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, otherwise, it would be too grand and empty, easily raising suspicion.
“A powerhouse of the Penglai Star Sect can step on seven stars.”
“The Tianshan Sword Manor typically travels by sword, capable of summoning ten thousand swords to follow with a single burst of Qi.”
“If it’s a powerhouse who has cultivated the Taiyin Divine Intent to the Law Body Realm, they can transform into moonlight...”
Li Mo walked downstairs, listening to Ice Cube softly whisper in his ear.
He roughly understood.
It meant it just needed to conform to a certain Divine Intention.
Outside the hot pot restaurant.
The Demon-Calling Holy Child, Tan Zhuyin, boarded a soft sedan chair, carried by his cult members through the air. Each of his sedan bearers was actually an Inner Scenery Realm expert.
One must know that even the Elders of the Qingyuan Sect were merely in the Inner Scenery Realm, which showed the prestige of this Demon-Calling Holy Child.
Luo Yexian blew a whistle, and a vulture descended. It was several zhang long, looked fierce and malevolent, and was clearly not benevolent.
“Black Earth Imm... Brother, my bird is very big, there’s room.”
Luo Yexian invited Li Mo to mount it.
“No matter.”
The mirage divine pearl in Li Mo’s arms trembled.
Roar—
Accompanied by a Phoenix cry, a graceful, soaring shadow broke through the sky above, circling in the air. Its magnificent feathers shimmered with moonlight, and a gentle breeze manifested and dissipated around its body.
Its pressure enveloped the sky, towering above all living beings.
Its nobility was like the embodiment of the moon.
Phoenix.
To be precise, a type of True Phoenix.
Moon Phoenix.
Ice Cube: “.....”
Li Mo Immortal stepped onto the Moon Phoenix in one stride. This Immortal, riding the Moon Phoenix beneath the moon, spoke calmly:
“This Immortal has no intention of attracting attention, but since we are going to the Dream God’s Legacy site, solemnity is essential. Let’s go.”
As his voice faded.
The Moon Phoenix soared into the sky, like another moon streaking across the firmament. With every flap of its wings, it scattered specks of starlight.
“Good heavens, this is Brother Black Earth’s grandeur.”
Luo Yexian clicked his tongue, vaguely regretting it.
If only he had known, he wouldn’t have called him ‘Brother’...
He should have called him ‘Godfather’!
“When the Great Shang Dynasty was in power, such a being was no less than a True Dragon.”
Tan Zhuyin gazed at the ethereal figure riding the Phoenix into the distance, a strong yearning rising in his eyes.
An hour later.
Amidst the swirling snow-laden clouds, the group began to descend.
The outlines of the tiny mountains below began to emerge, also shrouded by a sea of clouds, making it hard to distinguish between heaven and earth.
The group landed on a mountaintop within the sea of clouds.
“Actually, we have known for a long time that Lanke Mountain might be related to the Dream God’s Legacy.”
Tan Zhuyin looked at the clouds below and slowly said:
“It’s just that the Ancestral God has not yet responded, so we dared not disturb him.”
They couldn’t get in, could they?
Li Mo didn’t expose him, merely surveying the sprawling Lanke Mountain range, which appeared square and orderly in the darkness, with mountains scattered in a pleasing arrangement.
“May I ask the Immortal, what do you think the Feng Shui of this mountain range resembles?”
Although Xiao Li had said he would lend a slight hand, he knew nothing about the Dao of Feng Shui.
Fortunately, Ice Cube’s jade leg was indeed very easy to cling to.
Glancing at the moon, Li Mo spoke faintly:
“A chessboard, an unfinished game.”
