“Something seems off ahead?”

Standing on the cloud, Li Mo frowned, vaguely feeling that something was amiss.

Now that his six senses were keen, he would have a premonition whenever he discovered something unusual.

Sure enough, a group of figures appeared in front of them, roughly over a hundred, each riding a flying beast. freēwēbnovel.com

“Cloud-riding and mist-driving? What kind of technique is this?”

“They probably comprehended ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) an Inner Scenery related to clouds and mist. There are only two of them, and by their movements, they don’t seem to be Law Bodies.”

“They just returned from the Qizhen Sea Market, so they must have some oil to squeeze, right?”

“Playing mahjong every day is truly boring.”

“Indeed. Our current identity is that of bandits, you know. If we don’t rob someone, I’ll almost forget.”

The voices drifted over with the wind.

Li Mo: “?”

If nothing unexpected happened, he was probably... being robbed?

【Name: Luo Yexian】

【...】

【Evaluation: After the Demon Summoning Sect caused a stir in Dijin, they were hunted by the Great Yu Sky Patrol Guard. They had no choice but to break up into smaller groups, and he became a bandit to cover his tracks.】

【Recent Encounter: Observed the end of the Qizhen Sea Market, preparing to fulfill his duty as a bandit.】

Li Mo had never expected this.

He could even run into an old acquaintance while being robbed.

Even though there were many people opposite him, Li Mo’s mood was completely calm. After all, his Inner Scenery’s characteristic was that the more people there were, the more excited he became.

“However...”

Li Mo looked back.

Elder Qian’s Realm hadn’t fully solidified yet, and he had just entered the Outer Scenery Realm, which was much lower than Luo Yexian’s. If they directly engaged, Elder Qian might not be able to protect himself.

“Elder Qian, don’t speak later. I will protect you.”

Little Li, a Qingyuan Sect Disciple of the Inner Vision Realm, said as he put on the faceless glazed gauze.

“Alright.”

The Sect Elder of the Outer Scenery Realm readily agreed.

No sooner said than done.

“Stop right there!” Luo Yexian charged ahead.

“This mountain is mine, this tree is mine. If you want to pass... Eh, we seem to be in the sky, don’t we?”

“We’re robbing! Be serious!”

“Hmph, tch, have you not heard of our... our Pure One Color Village’s fierce reputation?”

“You know, according to Great Yu law, those who rob homes and loot will have their cultivation abolished, their rights as a Martial Artist revoked for life, and be exiled to North Seal. We’ve even committed such a crime, so you should understand how heinous we are.”

It was clear that the Demon Summoning Sect members were robbing for the first time.

They seemed rather unpracticed.

Well, they weren’t professional bandits to begin with, and they didn’t even think highly of ordinary bandits, feeling they weren't even in the same league.

“Enough! A mountain village can only have one leader. What kind of behavior is this, all of you chattering away?”

Luo Yexian finished scolding his subordinates.

Then he turned around, intending to give a sinister smile.

However, his smile froze before it could even fully form.

Opposite him, the clouds and mist dispersed, revealing a familiar figure. He was enveloped in Immortal Qi, his aura reaching the heavens, and his expression showed no change in the face of the sudden robbery.

“Black... Black Earth Immortal?!”

Luo Yexian’s body trembled.

Little Li Immortal sighed, a look of pity on his face: “This Venerable One merely went into seclusion. How did you all fall to such a state?”

He seemed not to have expected that the Demon Summoning Sect, who were once united, would become bandits.

Under his gaze, the Demon Summoning Sect members all showed expressions of shame.

“We... Sigh, it’s a long story, like a child without a mother... So you went into seclusion. No wonder I never received your reply.”

Luo Yexian’s eyes welled up with tears as he poured out his grievances.

Qian Bufan: “?”

How could Xiao Mo... be so familiar with the Demon Summoning Sect members, and even chat with them in the tone of an Elder brother?

This kid said he didn't learn Shang Wu and wouldn't surpass her, but had he gone down his own crooked path?

But Li Mo wouldn't let him speak, and sensing the aura of the people opposite him, he kept his words to himself.

However, things did not go as planned... Luo Yexian saw him and asked in confusion:

“Isn’t that Qian Bufan of the Qingyuan Sect? I heard he went to the Qizhen Sea Market with Li Mo and caused quite a stir.”

Qian Bufan: “!”

Oh no.

Xiao Mo had a way to cover his tracks, but he didn’t. Was he about to be exposed?

But Li Mo said without changing his expression: “Yes, I captured him and have Li Mo confined nearby.”

“Ah?” Qian Bufan was stunned.

He had become a prisoner?

“Immortal, you are...”

“Naturally, it’s to infiltrate the Qingyuan Sect.”

“Hiss...”

Luo Yexian gasped, his expression growing excited. He had accidentally stumbled upon Black Earth Immortal’s plan?

It was well known that an Immortal’s actions were extraordinary.

“Alright, I have other important matters, so I won’t speak much longer with you. We’ll contact each other with our tokens then.”

“Can Li Mo be handed over to us for disposal?”

“If you can find him, then by all means.”

Li Mo patted his shoulder, then rode the clouds and mist away.

Since he was gone, he would let Luo Yexian and his group search for him.

The Demon Summoning Sect members were very well-behaved, only whispering among themselves after they had left.

“Hall Master, was that the Immortal you spoke of?”

“Truly the demeanor of an Immortal. You say the Immortal told us to find Li Mo, could it be...”

“A test?!”

Luo Yexian’s eyes lit up. The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

If not for that.

Why would the Immortal mention contacting him with a token when he left?

And he even patted his shoulder three times!

“The Immortal is testing our Comprehension Ability! Quick, everyone go search!”

The Demon Summoning Sect members scattered... “They shouldn’t follow us, right?”

After flying for some time on the Somersault Cloud, Li Mo, fearing instability, even took a winding path.

However, he hadn’t flown much further.

Suddenly, the feeling of a premonition returned.

How could it be wave after wave? Was it never-ending?

“No, this aura doesn’t seem to be from the Demon Summoning Sect.”

Qian Bufan’s plump face was serious.

“Indeed, it’s not.” Li Mo nodded, turning off his Tianming Divine Eye.

“Then it’s...”

“Lingxi Gate.”

“They are, after all, a renowned righteous Sect. How could they...”

Qian Bufan’s eyes widened slightly as he saw the bandits opposite him, his face filled with astonishment.

However, before he could finish speaking, a thin veil covered his head.

He knew this was Li Mo’s magical item for changing one’s aura. Now used on him, it was to conceal his figure and prevent him from being a hindrance... “How can I, a dignified Elder, be protected by a Disciple!”

Qian Bufan was enraged and decided to act despite his Realm not being fully stable.

However, seeing the three thousand shadowy figures opposite him, he sat back down, having only been angry for a moment.

“Hehehe! This mountain is mine, this tree is mine...”

“...Can’t you change your lines?”

Li Mo couldn’t help but say:

“Also, this is the damn sky!!”
