"What?"
The scene of Chen Mo smashing a knife with his bare hands immediately scared the attacker.
Even if we don't mention the Yanshen Dao he holds, which was specially designed by Zhenwu Commandery, and how hard the material is, just the blade within it, filled with his spiritual force and the resulting sword beam, which is something that ordinary people cannot easily resist.
But Chen Mo was able to catch it with his bare hands and be completely unscathed, which shocked him.
But before the person could react, Chen Mo had already struck a punch that landed directly on his shoulder. With a crackling sound of bone shattering, the person collapsed and was unable to rise again.
Looking down, Chen Mo's face changed slightly, "Are you...?"
The attacker was none other than Gao Tianlang, who had fought with Chen Mo early this morning. Now, he lay on the ground, with red eyes and a trace of humiliation, blood seeping from his mouth and his face somewhat pale.
"You can kill me or cut me to pieces, as you wish."
Gao Tianlang knew that he was no match for Chen Mo, and could only spit out one sentence with a cold and malicious tone.
"A man of character."
Chen Mo smiled slightly, then bent down and crouched next to Gao Tianlang, "Speak up, who sent you to kill me?"
"Humph, I cannot reveal that."
"Hmm, such a stubborn mouth. However, you don't need to say anything. I already know who it is, isn't it the Grand Priest?"
Chen Mo asked with a smile.
He had no grudges with the Zhenwu Commandery, and for the other party to suddenly want to kill him without a reason, it must be someone else who ordered them to do so.
Since the Zhenwu Commandery is now under the control of the Grand Priest, it is almost certain that it was done by his hand.
So it seems that the Spiderweb has investigated the matter in the northern region...
"Your actions are really quick."
After muttering to himself in his heart, Chen Mo then looked at Gao Tianlang and smiled, "This is the Zhenwu Commandery under the Grand Priest's command, it seems that the brain is not very smart either, just dispatching you to come here alone, are you sure that you can kill me? Or are you afraid of offending Mount Rakuen when making a move in their elders' residence?"
"This matter, this is all my own doing, and has nothing to do with the Zhenwu Commandery."
Gao Tianlang's eyes flashed, and he muttered lowly in response.
Chen Mo was somewhat surprised, "You say that, and I will believe it? I need to have a serious talk with the head of Mount Rakuen about this matter."
"Don't."
Gao Tianlang hurriedly called out to Chen Mo, "The Zhenwu Commandery really wants to kill you, but the action tonight was my own idea."
Chen Mo, who had stood up, squatted down again, "You wanted to kill me on your own? Why?"
"Because you humiliated Mr. Pei."
Chen Mo couldn't help but laugh out loud, "That's actually an unexpected reason."
"Mr. Pei, you cannot be humiliated."
Watching Chen Mo mock him, Gao Tianlang flushed with anger and shouted fiercely.
You should say that you're cute, or that you're an asshole... Chen Mo stood up, found a chair, and sat down in front of Gao Tianlang, with one hand supporting his chin, staring at the young boy in front of him.
"Continue with the question from this morning, are you very familiar with Pei Jiannan?"
The previous punch had shattered Gao Tianlang's shoulder, and the pain twisted his facial expression. But upon hearing Chen Mo's question, his face changed slightly, and he did not answer.
"It seems that everything you said earlier was false. Hah, let me tell you, I am very familiar with Pei Jiangnan."
"Ha, I don't believe that."
Gao Tianlang looked at Chen Mo with disdain.
"Zeze, you can disbelieve it if you want, but do you dare help me send a letter to Pei Jiangnan?"
"What reason do I have to help you?"
"You're not daring, are you? Or is it that Pei Jiangnan doesn't even know you? What you say about having fought monsters in the restricted zone with Pei Jiangnan must be false."
"Lies, all of it is true. I'm not very familiar with Pei Jiangnan."
Gao Tianlang stammered, his face flushed red again, looking like a young child who is boasting.
Chen Mo couldn't help but smile at the sight, and then he fetched paper and ink, writing as he spoke in a low voice, "I have a good relationship with Pei Jiangnan. If you're willing to help me deliver this letter, he will surely appreciate you greatly... But I'm afraid you don't have the courage to do so..."
"It's just a letter. If you give it to me, I'll deliver it."
The boy seemed to have been ignited by Chen Mo's words, stubbornly saying.
As soon as the words were spoken, Chen Mo handed the letter to him in front of him. "You can go now."
Gao Tianlang was stunned, and with the uninjured hand that had not yet been healed, he took the letter and tried to stand up, "You... you really let me go? Are you not going to kill me?"
"Just go, you have so many unnecessary words."
Chen Mo said with impatience.
Gao Tianlang couldn't believe his ears, not expecting Chen Mo to so easily let him go. His life was not in danger, so he dared not stay any longer and turned around to run outside.
Just as he was about to reach the door, he suddenly heard Chen Mo's voice, "The matter of delivering the letter must not be known to outsiders, otherwise Pei Jiangnan will not be pleased."
Looking at the already disappearing figure in the darkness, Chen Mo smiled and then unconsciously looked at his bed. He saw the worm he had just unleashed on the previous day crawling on top of a crystal nucleus of an unknown beast. He was startled and quickly walked over to dispel the worm.
The essence of the beast's crystal core was completely depleted, and all other energies were also absorbed.
"You cunning beast."
Chen Mo was somewhat angry and stared at the bed with a stern expression. The worm had disappeared, but when he turned his head, he found that the worm had already climbed onto his arm without him noticing.
The worm displayed a very gentle demeanor and seemed to be very enchanted with Chen Mo, clinging to his arm, staring at him pitifully.
"Why do I feel a sense of familiarity?"
Chen Mo stared at the worm for a moment and suddenly had a bold hypothesis. Perhaps the worm had been inside him since he died, then sleeping within him, waiting for him to break through his energy, before waking up...
But who would do such a thing? Is it the omnipotent Grand Priest, or...?
Miaozhou, the Thousand Toxin Cavern.
Miaozhou is often referred to as the "cradle of the world's witchcraft and poisons". Since its prosperity, it has been a paradise for sorcerers and poisoners. On the entire Xingxing continent, nearly nine out of ten sorcerers and poisoners originate from Miaozhou.
The Thousand Toxin Cavern stands at the center of Miaozhou, not only being the first major sect in Miaozhou but also the origin of all witchcraft and poison techniques. It is the most desired place for all sorcerers and poisoners.
In the basement of the palace deep within the Thousand Toxin Cavern, a black coffin is placed. The lid of the coffin is not covered, and around its edge, several mutants of various colors occasionally crawl by.
Inside the coffin is a bed with a pillow, upon which a poised and graceful girl lies quietly. Her long, black hair is casually strewn about, her facial features finely sculpted, her skin as smooth as cream, her porcelain-like face fair and transparent, as if she were a corpse.
She is wearing a dark red palace dress, the skirt falling at the one-inch position below her knee, revealing a pair of translucent and white jade feet.
A blood-red mutant slowly crawls from the girl's jade foot to her face. The girl gently opens her eyes and stares at the mutant.
"What's wrong? Do you have to wake me up?"
The girl looked somewhat dissatisfied, pouting her little mouth and yawning with her hands.
"What? Your son woke up? Fine, let him wake up. What does it matter if he's in Qing State? Do I have to personally go and bring him back? I'll go after I'm free... In the future..."
The girl spoke and spoke, then closed her eyes again, ready to fall asleep. But her eyes snapped open suddenly, and her body sat up rigidly as if pulled by strings, turning to look at the nearby blood-red worm.
"Your son has woken up?"
"So it means that Brother Chen has truly come back to life?"
