The mist around Li Mo dissipated, and he descended from mid-air, only to find the Happy Lamb ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) Hot Pot Restaurant deserted, not a single person in sight.
Just now, from afar, business had seemed quite good.
He frowned as he landed, then noticed that the two figures sitting at the entrance were blocking the light shining in from the doorway.
His Tianming Divine Eye activated instantly.
【Name: Jiang Yu】
【Age: 22】
【Root Bone: True Dragon Body, Dragon Sword Bone (incomplete affiliation).】
【Realm: Guan Shen Nine Apertures.】
At this point, the information displayed by the Tianming Divine Eye flickered.
This was the most complex Tianming color Li Mo had ever seen with his Tianming Divine Eye to date.
Amidst the gold, there was a hint of red.
Normally, this was a sign of Tianming transformation, potentially developing in a better direction.
But that hint of red within the gold was subtly tinged with gray, even black.
After a pause, the Tianming Divine Eye finally gave its evaluation.
【Evaluation: Possessing the same Root Bone as Emperor Wu, the Grand Ancestor, he was destined for an unrivaled path in this era, shouldering the Dynasty’s Luck; yet, Great Yu made him, and Great Yu will break him...】
【Recent Encounter: Discovered that Jiang Chulong, whose Sword Bone he had already taken, showed signs of a new Sword Bone growing within her, and he wants to test her current level.】
How was he testing?
Li Mo’s expression changed; he had already heard the sounds from inside, like when he was little and got spanked with a bamboo stick, but clearly much, much heavier.
He stepped into the hot pot restaurant.
He saw the pink-clothed maid’s withered willow branch swish down with a whooshing sound.
Jiang Chulong had many fresh welts on her body, staining her new clothes a different color; the pink-skirted girl’s strikes were very vicious, breaking skin but leaving the clothes intact.
At that instant, a surge of anger burned up from his chest, nearly setting Li Mo’s hair on fire.
But he did not lose his reason; he pulled off a strand of hair, let it drift with the wind to the back courtyard of the hot pot restaurant, and then flicked out the round mirage divine pearl.
“Get out.”
Jiang Yu’s double pupils turned back to look, and the cold-faced woman in green beside him spoke.
But her face, no matter how cold, couldn’t compare to Li Mo’s Ice Cube face.
“I’m the owner here.”
“Li Dage...”
Seeing Li Mo enter, Jiang Chulong finally pursed her lips, and the cloth strip on her mouth showed faint signs of dampness.
“Chu Long, hit her. Don’t hold back.”
Li Mo’s voice was very soft, yet very clear.
“Hmph...”
The pink-skirted girl seemed to have heard a joke; let alone the owner of a hot pot restaurant, even the Region Lord of the Eastern Wasteland Region or a Governor of a prefecture wouldn’t dare to stop her here.
Besides, Jiang Chulong was long since crippled, no different from a common server in a restaurant.
She swung her arm, and the withered willow branch, with a shrill whoosh, went straight for Jiang Chulong’s face.
If this hit, that small, oval face would surely be disfigured. freeweɓnøvel.com
However, when Jiang Chulong saw Li Mo’s calm gaze, her panicked heart inexplicably quieted.
Li Dage said she could fight back.
Relying on the confidence Li Mo gave her, she firmly picked up the peach branch.
Clang—
The Sword Intent within the peach branch was tough and sharp, cutting the withered willow branch in half and then coiling back up.
The pink-skirted girl’s sleeve was shredded, and a few drops of blood dripped down.
She looked startled, not expecting the seemingly weak Jiang Chulong to strike with such astonishing sharpness.
Jiang Yu’s double pupils flashed intensely; he gestured with his eyes, and the green-clothed woman holding a sword beside him threw the long sword she held.
It was also a Mystic Weapon.
The pink-skirted girl caught the sword and counterattacked.
Clang, clang, clang—
For a moment, sword light flashed and sword shadows overlapped within the hot pot restaurant; neither of them used their Realm, simply engaging in a sword fight.
The result was that the Sword Attendant from Tianshan Sword Manor was being suppressed by Xiao Jiang Princess.
The pink-skirted Sword Attendant’s figure suddenly became like a dancing butterfly, and the Mystic Weapon sword light in her palm flared brightly.
The Sword Intent of this sword was like a long river in the clouds, descending from the Nine Heavens, faintly sharing some common origin with the Transverse Cloud Sword Intent.
Without using a Realm, this sword could make even an Inner Breath Realm Martial Artist difficult to resist.
Facing this overbearing and terrifying sword, Jiang Chulong did not retreat but advanced.
In a blur, the peach branch seemed to unleash dozens, even hundreds of sword lights, and among them, one appeared exceptionally pure, bright, tough, and resolute.
The sword light flashed and disappeared.
The Mystic Weapon long sword in the pink-skirted girl’s palm flew out, sticking point-down into the ground.
If she hadn’t let go just now, her five fingers would have been severed.
However, the peach branch in Jiang Chulong’s hand still did not stop, because Li Dage had said, “Don’t hold back.”
Having lost her sword.
The pink-skirted Sword Attendant became even more disheveled, only able to dodge left and right.
To put it simply, she couldn’t even fight back, only being chased and beaten.
“Enough!”
Jiang Yu stood up.
“Not enough!”
Li Mo met the double pupils’ gaze without flinching.
“Your Excellency’s status is noble, but my humble establishment has its own rules.”
Jiang Yu stood up, and no anger could be seen in his double pupils.
He was truly seriously assessing this young man who claimed to be the hot pot restaurant owner and was ranked fourth on the Qianlong Ranking.
“Her practicing martial arts, is it related to you?”
“It is me. What do you intend to do?”
“You have committed a capital offense!”
Jiang Yu’s Qi surged, revealing a majestic Divine Intention.
A golden Dragon with prominent horns and golden scales, holding an Emperor Sword in its mouth, coiled in the air.
And beneath its coiling body, there seemed to be a magnificent city.
Was it Dijin?
Somewhat similar.
God Sword Golden Dragon suppresses the Emperor’s domain.
Perhaps when this city fully materialized, Jiang Yu would Breakthrough Inner Scenery, but just the pressure of his Guan Shen Nine Apertures Divine Intention was enough to envelop an area of several dozen li in an overbearing and sacred aura.
Within fifty li, pedestrians felt a sense of dread, as if the end of days was near, and their hearts gave rise to thoughts of only kneeling in obeisance, not daring to lift their heads, their knees softening and pressing them to the ground.
The Dragon’s roar of the golden Dragon soared heavenward in the unseen world.
Qingyuan Sect.
Main Peak Hall.
The Elders were holding a meeting, and Shangguan Wencang sat in the Sect Master’s seat, slowly speaking while smoking a dry pipe:
“His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived. We must demonstrate the Qingyuan Sect’s excellent spirit and demeanor. Each peak should perform its duties, maintaining a stable and positive development trend.”
“Cough, the new Peak Master of Zhenshou Peak has not yet been selected, and the hygiene of the exotic beasts needs improvement. After the meeting, Disciples should be organized to arrange a thorough cleaning.”
“Dan Ding Peak has made the latest progressive Breakthrough in external alchemy. Although only Li Mo succeeded, it still expanded our thinking and broke new ground. We can focus on showcasing the research results to His Highness then.”
“Ruyi Peak has also made new explorations in the Dao of painting. The ‘animation’ technique developed by Disciple Ouyang can make the God-Observing Picture more vivid, promoting the cultivation progress of Guan Shen Realm Disciples, and is expected to be popularized throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.”
“Cough, by the way, tell Ouyang to rein in his ‘hobbies.’ If His Highness sees them, he might think Ruyi Peak is involved in some illegal business...”
“Does anyone else have anything to add?”
After Shangguan Wencang finished speaking, he lightly coughed, picked up the porcelain jar beside him, blew on it, and slurped some tea.
Elder Han He raised his hand:
“I propose we lock up Elder Shang Wu first.”
“She bites people. It would be troublesome if she bit His Highness’s nose.”
This was also a very constructive suggestion.
However, locking her up was probably impossible, so everyone thought of ways to get her some good wine to keep her drunk for three to five days first.
Just as they were speaking.
Roar—
From the unseen world, a Dragon’s roar that made one’s legs go weak came.
“This Divine Intention... is it His Highness the Crown Prince?”
“Why did he release his Divine Intention?”
“Could it be that he encountered some lawless individual who offended him? There have indeed been quite a few unruly people in Ziyang Prefecture lately...”
