"What happened?" A familiar female voice broke the atmosphere.
A woman dressed in red stepped forward. She was the woman who clashed with Liu Zhongchi at the auction.
Seeing this woman, the man with murderous intent took back his long saber and spoke with a flattering smile, "Wan Xiang Fairy, only a small incident. This person was unable to tell good from bad, he dared disdain Wuzhou City and didn't put the city owner in his eyes…"
The more the man said, the more outrageous it became. He pointed and slandered Qin Mo, until Qin Mo's face became chilly, and he aimed a powerful force in the man's direction.
The man continued to talk ceaselessly, and when the surrounding air shook violently, he dodged but could not avoid it. The man was thrown to the ground.
When he got up again, the crowd sucked in a cold breath. The man's cheek was swollen, a palm print on it.
In fact, the man's cultivation base wasn't high. What people fear wasn't the man but the Wuzhou City behind him. It was unexpected to have someone commit violence at the front gate.
The Wuzhou City was in the northern part of the boundary. Compared with other places, it had fewer resources. Therefore, cultivators with high cultivation base were less willing to come here, but there were many Foundation Building cultivators here. They occupied the town, which showed the city owner's strength.
"You b.a.s.t.a.r.d, how dare you hit me!" The cruelty on the man's face could no longer be concealed. He pulled out his saber and looked at the people beside him, planning to rush forward.
Qin Mo moved his hidden hands. Although they had the advantage of numbers, he was unafraid thanks to his current strength.
The woman's pupil shrank and shouted. "Wait!"
She appeared before Qin Mo, blocking the vicious eyes of several people. She glanced at the angry man, raised her eyebrows, and shouted, "Ding Dong, how could you offend your senior!"
Even though her tone was full of disdain, her eyes were still full of charm. The man's moment stopped and looked at her enchanting face.
The woman smiled satisfactorily and said respectfully, "Senior, we met again."
Qin Mo glanced at the woman, she seemed to treat himself as Liu Zhongchi. This black cloak, once a cultivator wore it, others could neither see anything under it nor could they distinguish the cultivation base of the wearer.
How did this woman determine that the person before her was Liu Zhongchi? He quietly said under his breath, "How did you know it's me?" Through the function of the cloak, his originally cold voice became hoa.r.s.e and low.
The woman's expression stiffened, thinking the senior from the forbidden mountain was angry, but nothing showed on her face. She looked straight at Qin Mo's neckline and smiled. "Senior, there is an imprint on your cloak."
After she said this, he moved his line of sight down and spotted the small embroidered "Liu".
He paused and slowly said, "My surname is Liu."
Her face turned joyful. "Senior Liu, this young woman is Wan Xiang." Then she asked, "Senior, did you come to buy something?"
He gave a single "En."
The smile on the woman's face became wider, every move carrying a hint of charm. "Then let this young woman accompany senior!"
He wasn't familiar with Wuzhou City, so he nodded and walked towards the city with the woman.
Looking at the proud Wan Xiang Fairy treating Qin Mo respectfully, there was regret in the hearts of several people who had drawn sabers toward him. Even Ding Dong, who had been clamoring, turned white-faced and said nothing more.
When they walked beside Ding Dong, Qin Mo stopped.
Wan Xiang couldn't see his expression. Vaguely guessing his thoughts, she said, "Senior Liu, a great man rarely harbors grievance for past wrongs, please forgive Ding Dong. He's still needed to guard Wuzhou City's front gate."
A cold hum came from the cloak. Everyone felt the surrounding spirit energy twist violently. Ding Dong, who stood respectfully to one side, was swung away by Qin Mo. A similar palm print appeared on the left cheek.
This situation stunned Wan Xiang then she put on a smile. As if nothing had happened, she said, "Let's go!" But from Qin Mo's blind spot, she once again glanced at Ding Dong.
Ding Dong fell and felt the surrounding mockery. It took him a long time to get up and saw her warning eyes. His eyes were red, but he only clenched his fists tightly.
When the figures disappeared, he spat on the ground with a gloomy face. He scolded in a low voice, "b.i.t.c.h, what kind of fairy is that, only because you can rely on Wu s.h.i.+xiong liking you."
His face suddenly brightened as he muttered, "Hehe, wait until Wu s.h.i.+xiong learns his woman was stolen. When that happens…" He ordered the people beside him and quickly left.
Somewhere on the street walked two people. One wore a black robe that covered himself, and the other a gorgeous red dress.
People's eyes couldn't help but focus on the woman. Within Wuzhou City, this woman was famous, not only because of her strength but also because she had Wu Yongde behind her.
As all cultivators living in the city knew, Wu Yongde was the younger brother of the city's owner. He was crazily in love with Wan Xiang, but her att.i.tude had always been detached confusing people.
Because of this, even if Wan Xiang had a stunning figure, no one dared to go forward. It was rare to see someone that dared to walk beside her.
Without paying attention to the many eyes, she clamored in Qin Mo's direction, "Senior Liu, Wuzhou City is a good place, and City Master Wu is not simple, winning against many formidable opponents."
Qin Mo's gaze swept around. There were many stalls here, even more lively than the Yueqing Sect's square market. It was a decent place for being in this boundary.
Without hearing his reply, she thought he had disdain towards City Master Wu and said, "If you and a few seniors from the forbidden mountain come again, then Wuzhou City will be yours."
The strength of the woman approached the completion of Foundation Building, but when she spoke about the boundary of forbidden mountain, her face was full of awe. Qin Mo's footsteps paused but soon after he continued.
As if she felt Qin Mo wasn't interested, she smiled and changed the topic. Although there were some doubt in her mind, "Senior Liu, I wonder if you want to partic.i.p.ate in the city defense in a few days?"
"City defense?"
Seeing that he didn't understand, it somewhat confused her. Then she immediately thought Senior Liu might have come only a few times and didn't understand the situation. She patiently explained, "On the fifteenth day of every month, many demonic beasts will attack the city. During that time, the city owner will call on all cultivators in the city to kill the beasts and guard the city. After defending the city, the city owner will reward many spirit stones according to each person's contribution."
"En." Although he was surprised at the phenomenon of beasts attacking the city, he didn't want to join in. He was not short on spirit stones.
Seemingly aware of the indifference in his tone, she continued, "The most precious thing in the city defense isn't spirit stones, but the demonic core within the beasts. Demonic beast can only form its demonic core when it reaches Core Formation, but the boundary of the guard sea is very special. As long as the beast is above Foundation Building, it will have a demonic core. Cultivators below Core Formation can use those demonic cores to improve their cultivation base." Finis.h.i.+ng here, her eyes glittered, apparently full of expectations for those demonic beasts.
"Oh?" Qin Mo was also interested, and he also wanted to quickly improve his cultivation base. After thinking for a while, Qin Mo brought Ling Yun along on the 15th day. He looked at her expectant eyes and nodded his head in agreement.
A huge pool of blood stretched across a dark s.p.a.ce. The blood rolled constantly and several large bubbles appeared on the surface from time to time.
"Cras.h.!.+" A figure emerged from the blood pool and wanted to rush out. A huge palm suddenly appeared in the sky above and with a gentle wave, he fell back.
A voice whispered in the air, "Lin Zizheng, you'd better stay obediently:"
"Let me go, I will find Da s.h.i.+xiong!" Allowing the blood to flow down his long hair, he stood in the middle of the pool, staring coldly at the front. Qin Mo's last icy eyes constantly flashed in his mind.
"Kid, I am doing this for you. If it wasn't for your Da s.h.i.+xiong, how could you have fallen so low?" The voice was filled with a sense of helplessness.
"I will find Da s.h.i.+xiong!" he said firmly as if he could not feel the pain at all, letting the horrible creatures in the pool continue to gnaw at his body.
"Well, well, kid, since you are so ignorant of good and bad, I will show you how your beloved Da s.h.i.+xiong has harmed you!"
A bronze mirror appeared in midair, illuminating the entire dark room.
"This is a divine grade magic treasure, Reincarnation Mirror. It's able to see through life itself. Now have a good look at the life you and your Da s.h.i.+xiong should have had!"
The surface of the bronze mirror changed. Lin Zizheng saw the familiar Lin Family Village above, and Qin Mo's figure. He knew the bronze mirror showed exactly what had happened to him.
Unlike reality though, Qin Mo wasn't injured when they were attacked by Mingshan Laogui. From the very beginning, Lin Zizheng himself walked Dengtian Road. Because of his perseverance, even if his talent was weak, he earned everyone's love. He even replaced Da s.h.i.+xiong's position and married Xiao s.h.i.+mei, becoming the most talented disciple of Yueqing Sect.
It could be said that the life shown on the bronze mirror differed entirely from his own.
"What do you think? You've fallen to this level, it's all thanks to your Da s.h.i.+xiong!" The voice sounded again, and the tone was smug. From his point of view, knowing this, the kid before him would surely stay and obediently train then seek revenge on his Da s.h.i.+xiong.
"Haha! Haha!" Lin Zizheng's somewhat crazed laughter interrupted his fantasy.
Bright red blood fell from Lin Zizheng's lips, making him look ghostly. He faintly said, "But what's the use of that? I still don't have Da s.h.i.+xiong beside me."
Everything became quiet. After a while, a cold voice cried, "Such an impenetrably thick-headed person, you better obediently train! Don't you dare think of leaving even a step!"
Once the speaker's very breath had left, Lin Zizheng took out an ordinary jade bottle from his Qiankun bag and touched it like a treasure. The corner of his mouth raised a little, and he gently crooned, "Da s.h.i.+xiong, wait for me."
