Outside, three large suns hung in the sky, watching over the vast earth.
Under the sunlight, the Lankeshan mountain range extended through peaks, all trembling violently at this moment as if some terrifying existence was about to break through the earth.
One after another, martial artists from underground palaces scrambled out of the entrances.
This included many swordsmen from the Hengyun Sword City.
“What’s happening below?”
“Why is there thunder underground?”
“Perhaps the master of the great tomb has awakened and is fighting with the Crown Prince’s guardian.”
Elder Zeng spoke with a deep expression.
Even though they had escaped, the swordsmen did not show any relief; instead, they watched the entrance with heavy hearts.
“Brother Li and the others are still inside.”
Bai Jinghong took a deep breath.
“No wonder he asked us to stay put; it must be even more dangerous below.”
Wu Chushu swallowed his saliva.
“But now there are battles between Transcendent Realm masters down there…”
Cao Mu’s face was already filled with worry, and now it looked even more worried.
Fights between Transcendent Realm masters could destroy the heavens and earth, and this Lankeshan might collapse soon.
Leaving now was the best choice, so the swordsmen from Hengyun Sword City moved against the crowd, taking cautious steps.
Wu Chushu forced a smile:
“Considering my understanding of Brother Li, maybe there will be a loud noise in the sky soon, and he’ll make a grand entrance.”
In his eyes, Little Li always appeared in unexpected ways.
It would surely be like this this time…
Just as he thought, someone shouted:
“Young Hero Li has come out!”
Elder Zeng, Bai Jinghong, Wu Chushu, and Cao Mu all perked up and hurriedly looked towards the entrance of the underground palace.
Is Li Mo okay?
Then…
They saw a figure, with divine light flickering in his arms, flying out of the entrance, causing a huge commotion because he was followed by a group of people, like a swarm of bees.
Including Jiang Yu, Sky Patrol Guards, Tan Zhuyin, and Huanmo Sect disciples…
Everyone was stunned.
What was Young Hero Li doing, being chased by the Crown Prince of Da Yu and the Huanmo Sect’s Holy Son…
The swordsmen from Hengyun Sword City nearby clearly saw how magnificent and mysterious the divine light was, like something meticulously crafted.
“Has Brother Li obtained the divine object here?”
“What should we do?”
“Brother Li saved our lives; we can’t just stand idly by!”
“But that’s Jiang Yu and the Huanmo Sect’s Holy Son…”
The swordsmen were conflicted, and Elder Zeng, with a complicated look, patted the book in his pocket, “Let’s move aside!”
“Don’t be foolish!”
Li Mo, carrying divine light, was supported by a cloud, shouting loudly as he ran.
The first sentence was for the onlookers, and the second for the people from Hengyun Sword City.
Quickly, white clouds surged around him, rising to the sky, leaving only his back to others.
Not far away.
In the swirling dream bubbles.
“Finally, we lured them away.”
“The swordsmen from the city didn’t catch up either, perfect…”
Li Mo rubbed his temples, controlling his external avatar with high intensity, which was quite a burden for his Consciousness Soul.
Before he could relax,
He saw Elder Zeng take out a black hood from his pocket and put it on his head.
Li Mo: “?”
Bai Jinghong, Wu Chushu, and Cao Mu exchanged glances.
Wu Chushu also took out several black hoods from his storage and gave them to the others; these were spoils from when he eradicated bandits.
Thus, Elder Zeng and the three heroes of Hengyun Sword City transformed from elegant swordsmen to fierce bandits.
Li Mo: “????”
Oh no!
You guys…are you kidding me!
He quickly transmitted a message, and Elder Zeng paused, scratching his ear, revealing confusion through the eye holes of the black hood.
Then, ‘whoosh.’
Several people holding swords flew into the air, disappearing.
Bad news, the swordsmen were very chivalrous.
Worse news, they were too chivalrous!
—
The martial artists present looked at each other, starting to imitate them.
They wanted the treasures, but they didn’t dare provoke the Crown Prince directly.
Disguising themselves was too time-consuming, and not everyone had secret techniques, so they chose the simplest way.
Put on the hood, no emotions.
The scene became chaotic, like a bandit team-building event.
“What are they doing?” Qin Yuzhi was puzzled.
Li Mo scratched his head in frustration: “…They seem to have grown stronger.”
“It’s fine, I’ll dissolve the external avatar soon.”
Qin Yuzhi glanced at the trembling Lankeshan and noticed that the Cloud Dream Underground Palace wouldn’t last much longer before collapsing. She clenched her teeth and said:
“Then let’s get going.”
With that, she closed her eyes, then scratched her head again, reopening them:
“Where are we going?”
“Ziyang Mansion.”
Qin Yuzhi pointed at Li Mo’s forehead with one finger, closing her eyes and asking: “Close your eyes and imagine the place you want to go.”
“Okay, I’ve thought of it.”
Li Mo imagined the scene at Qiushui Pavilion, holding Ying Bing’s hand.
“Imagine that nothing happened, and you’re now opening the door of Qiushui Pavilion. When you open your eyes, we’ll already be there…”
Li Mo nodded and did as instructed.
Suddenly, he heard Qin Yuzhi’s voice.
“Open the door!”
Li Mo instinctively pushed forward, and his palm felt the touch of a wooden door.
Then his body seemed to sink into water, rippling within the flow until finally passing through a wave.
Li Mo first smelled alcohol and hot pot.
Opening his eyes, he realized this place wasn’t the earthquake-ridden Lankeshan anymore.
It was the peaceful Qiushui Pavilion!
“Did we really come back?”
“My dream escape technique is unparalleled.”
Qin Yuzhi crossed her arms, proudly tilting her head, then began to examine the surroundings.
This was indeed no less impressive than the cloud somersault.
Although the conditions for using dream escape were stricter than cloud somersault, it could carry more than one person.
Ying Bing and Tian Miao also returned to Qiushui Pavilion.
“Wait, I need to control the external avatar fully.”
Li Mo didn’t even check the investment feedback, quickly sitting cross-legged.
So.
A major event occurred on Lankeshan.
Qianlong List’s fourth place, God Hammer Little Overlord, seemed to have perished!
…
Fifty miles outside Lankeshan.
“We’re about to catch up…”
That rooster-eyed Zhu Jiji, from Misty Rain Tower, not only excelled in Yin Yang Hall’s martial arts but also knew assassination techniques.
His body seemed to transform into yin and yang energies, hiding in the void.
“Killing him will earn me two rewards, and the Holy Son’s favor…”
“d*e, kid!”
Clear and turbid qi converged on his palms, bursting forth.
“Almost there…”
Li Mo muttered to himself, making no attempt to dodge.
Utterly calm, he faced Zhu Jiji’s palm wind, staring directly into his rooster eyes.
“Don’t!”
Several masked strangers, unknown passersby, tried to rush forward to help but couldn’t make it in time.
BOOM—
God Hammer Little Overlord’s figure was submerged in the clear and turbid qi.
Even Guan Shen, no matter how strong, could not match the fifth-stage realm.
His figure was instantly annihilated, vanishing without a trace.
Only a strand of hair fell…
The leader of the bandits wearing “The Tyrannical Empress Loves Me,” Elder Zeng, let out a sharp scream:
“No!!!!”
