Li Mo was full of question marks. He had just felt that this person was a little familiar.
But he never expected that the moment she opened her mouth, he was petrified on the spot. When did he get married? Why didn't he know?
He didn't even have a wife, so where did her family come from?
"Did you mistake me for someone else?"
"No... never mind, just pretend I misspoke. I'll still call you... call you by your name."
Feng Zhi said, but her eyes were very strange, clearly not like it was the first time she had seen him.
"?"
Li Mo touched his neck, where there was an innate red mark, like a birthmark.
But Feng Zhi knew that it wasn't an innate mark at all... That's right, the reason she stood behind the Li family and granted them a trace of her own power was for him.
After all, even other Celestial Clan members usually couldn't get in touch with Ying Bing.
He was probably the only way to find her.
Feng Zhi always felt that Jiang Yu couldn't continue like this. Recently, his methods had become increasingly extreme, and the conflict between Earth City and Human City was growing. Jiang Yu didn't care, but she smelled danger.
Every time there was a natural disaster, the number of Celestial Clan members who fell was not necessarily small.
She felt she should prepare a retreat.
On one hand, there was Ying Bing, and on the other hand, there was Li Mo himself.
He had now forgotten his past according to the agreement, which meant he might not even know how strong the support behind him was.
The former Great King Village was now called Mo City.
It was now the Holy Land for all Executioners and had given birth to many powerhouses in Human City.
Those people were truly strong. One of them, named Dong Changtian, could even make her feel threatened.
It was hard to say that Ying Bing wasn't behind this.
Mo City used to be called Li Mo City, then the name was simplified. Anyone could figure that out!
Besides that, Mo City was also very united.
They didn't believe in any Celestial Clan, but they had an inexplicable cohesion. No matter when or where, as long as you showed a strange symbol, you would be treated as one of their own.
This was why, even though all the families in Earth City regarded Mo City as a thorn in their side, the other party always remained safe and sound.
All of the above were Feng Zhi's conjectures.
She felt it was almost certain, but the other Celestial Clan members didn't know.
"Have we met before?"
"Where would we have met?"
Feng Zhi shook her head, not intending to explain deliberately.
Li Mo pointed to the large red floral padded jacket she was wearing: "I always feel that this outfit doesn't quite conform to the Celestial City's style, does it?"
Feng Zhi shook her head and said, "I just like these colorful clothes. They're quite common."
"Are you serious?"
"That's right, that's how it is."
Seeing the other party's confident expression, he stroked his chin, always feeling that this earnest nonsense sounded like looking in a mirror.
As expected of a born performer... uh, best actor, he could see the acting traces at a glance.
"Feng Zhi, what are you talking to him about? Has it not started yet?"
The words from nearby carried a faint rumble of thunder.
It was the Celestial Clan member who descended with thunder – Leize. He was shirtless, with bulging muscles and a bald head.
Feng Zhi nodded and said, "Let's begin."
Li Mo suppressed the suspicion in his heart and took out the long sword from his waist.
Old Li had said that if one's martial arts Realm was sufficient, the Celestial Clan's upper echelons would bestow their power, allowing martial arts to truly resonate with heaven and earth.
He always wondered how he could achieve this step on his own?
He heard that some powerful Mortals in Human City could do it.
Unfortunately, he didn't have enough time to try... "Come here!"
"Who's coming?"
"Cough, sorry, this is the opening stance of my martial arts. Since it's a complete demonstration..."
"...You'd better start now."
Swish—
As soon as the words fell, the long sword drew a stunning arc.
It seemed casual, but in reality, it was like a goat hanging from a horn, as swift as a startled swan, both fierce and strange, making one feel full of flaws.
With every movement, his Aura climbed to its Peak.
"Oh... this kid."
Even the Celestial Clan members, who were usually calm and unmoved, had many glances cast their way, noticing something out of the ordinary.
In their eyes, Li Mo's swordsmanship already vaguely corresponded to certain frequencies between heaven and earth.
If he were to receive the blessing of the Celestial Clan's power of heaven and earth, it would probably surge to a level they would also have to take seriously.
No wonder Feng Zhi had spoken with him alone for so long earlier.
It turned out she had known in advance that the Li family had such a promising talent... The Celestial Clan members were no longer as detached and unconcerned with worldly affairs as before.
Now, they were spreading their names throughout the world through various aristocratic families, to be remembered by people. Influenced by Jiang Yu, they understood the importance of power... What all the Celestial Clan members didn't expect was that after Feng Zhi finished watching, she said:
"I cannot pass on my Legacy to you. Next time, send another member of the Li family."
"Why won't you pass it on?"
Leize asked, puzzled.
"..."
Feng Zhi thought to herself, she wouldn't dare.
Her intention in giving Legacy to the Li family was only one: to protect the Li family.
"I have my own plans." Feng Zhi shook her head.
Leize, Chun Mang, Yan Rong, and the other Celestial Clan members found it hard to say more.
But this scene, falling into the eyes of the Earth City people, made Old Li anxious at once.
Losing the Legacy didn't just mean losing power.
It also meant losing the support of the powerful Celestial Clan behind him.
But it didn't make sense. Could it be that when young Li and Feng Zhi were talking earlier, he offended her?
"Li Mo, Li Mo!" Old Li frantically winked at him.
"Sigh..."
Li Mo sighed. He himself actually didn't care.
But he wasn't a lone wolf after all; he couldn't just think of himself.
So he silently took out a hammer from his sleeve.
Woo— CRACK!
With one hammer strike, the wind surged, thunder was born, and the stars trembled.
The surroundings suddenly darkened. One by one, the stars in the sky all stopped their mysterious orbital movements. Strands of indescribable threads seemed to connect them to that hammer.
A magnificent spectacle appeared without warning.
"!!"
The martial artists of the various Earth City families changed their expressions. This had already exceeded the scope of martial arts they knew.
Without receiving the Celestial Clan's bestowal.
Just with a hammer, he stirred the power of heaven and earth?
Even in Mo City, not many people could do it, ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) and they were all advanced in age. freewēbnoveℓ.com
Even the Celestial Clan members leaned back slightly, lost in thought.
After a few seconds of silence... "Feng Zhi, you don't want him, do you? I want this kid!"
"Is it your turn? My thunder suits him better!"
"He's so strong, he should be with me, Ju Bo. Moving mountains and filling seas is nothing for him."
The Celestial Clan members spoke up one after another, refusing to give way.
The reason was simple.
This power, even if he didn't accept their Legacy, would surely allow him to ascend to become a member of the Celestial Clan in the future. Although such situations were rare, there were precedents.
At this moment, they no longer looked at Li Mo with the mindset of facing Mortals, but regarded him as a future peer.
"Stop arguing!"
Feng Zhi stomped her foot and shouted.
Ten thousand kinds of unknown creatures galloped through her heart.
She also never expected that the unremarkable Mortal Village Chief Li from his previous life, born as a martial artist in Earth City, would have such incredible talent. So, was he hiding his abilities when he was in the Li manor before? freeωebnovēl.c૦m
What if he had been born in Celestial City?!
Yet, he didn't show it early, nor did he show it late, but now he was seen by everyone.
What to do now? Could she really let Li Mo accept the Legacy of other members of her clan?
