On the way to the Capital City, a beast cart is flying quickly.
Sitting atop the beast cart was Chen Mo and his party of four.
After experiencing a night in the Snowy Town, Chen Mo obtained a confirmed message from the ancient mountain that Lu WuXin's poison has been cured.
Therefore, they don't have to continue their exhausting journey.
Consequently, Chen Mo chose to travel by carriage, taking this opportunity to take the elixir that was refined in the Ancient Mountain.
Holding two elixirs in hand, Chen Mo did not move for a long time. He lowered his head and thought deeply about something, with a serious look on his face.
"Sister, what are you thinking about? You're so engrossed."
The little bean sprout, who was guarding Chen Mo, saw him in this manner and couldn't help but curiously gaze at him, asking curiously.
"According to what you just said, the Elder Kuo of Qian Zhen Sect disappeared after transferring me, and only appeared the next day to transfer you all here?"
The little bean sprout nodded slightly, "We once asked the two disciples of Qian Zhen Sect. The Elder Kuo came with you after transferring you..." "How, brother, haven't you seen him?"
Chen Mo shook his head, "Throughout the journey, I've never seen him."
As he spoke, Chen Mo curiously looked at the two women, Xiao Doudian and Chu Rumei, "Do you two know the background of Elder Kuo?"
Xiao Doudian looked up and thought for a moment, "I've seen him a few times. I only know that he is a elder of Qian Zhen Sect. Other than that, I know nothing else."
Chen Mo shifted his gaze to Chu Ruomeng, who lightly supported her chin and pondered for a moment as well.
"My Tianjin Pavilion has some connections with Qian Zhen Sect, so we know each other somewhat. However, Elder Kuo's identity is rather mysterious. What I know about him isn't much."
"The Elder Kuo, whose full name is Kuo Cheng, is of the second rank. He joined Qian Zhen Sect over a hundred years ago and is a long elder who chose to enter the monastic life on his own path. He is on the fringes of Qian Zhen Sect and maintains a very low profile..."
"Kuo Cheng rarely shows his hand in Qian Zhen Sect, but his strength is profound and uncharted. Although he has been defeated by many elders within the sect, I've heard some gossip that he deliberately loses each time he duels with an elder within the sect, for the purpose of not offending any elder in the sect..."
Chu Rumei recounted everything she knew, informing Chen Mo one by one.
After listening, Chen Mo gently rubbed his chin, furrowed his eyebrows again and again.
Xiao Doudian stared at Chen Mo, his expression changing slightly, "Brother, is there something suspicious about Kuo Cheng or is he a follower of Zhang Tianlin? If that's the case, I'll take him out right now."
After saying that, Xiao Doudian stood up. She didn't allow anyone to threaten Chen Mo's safety.
"Halt"
"Wait," Chen Mo called out to Xiao Doudian, "You're not his match."
"Impossible, brother. You underestimate me."
Xiao Doudian shook her head, "Now that I have the Wan Duo Spider, whose venom is comparable to that of a Saint Insect, as well as the Nine-color Dream of a Saint Insect, no one at the second rank can be my opponent. Brother, you've forgotten how I captured that sky-punishment leader of a gang on Ta Yin Mountain?"
In the past, Xiao Doudian would need to consider her actions when facing someone at the first rank. However, with the Saint Insect and the existence comparable to a Saint Insect, her strength has surged significantly, giving her the confidence to challenge someone at that rank.
Zhang Long, as a second-rank cultivator, can defeat four first-rank cultivators. Xiao Doudian is also capable of doing so.
In fact, Xiao Doudian is now so confident that she dares to challenge Lin WuXin.
"You're amazing; naturally, they're not any worse."
"Moreover, he's not a follower of Zhang Tianlin."
"Then why are you so worried?"
After a moment's thought, Xiao Doudian asked, "Could it be that he's not an enemy, but a friend?"
"An enemy's enemy can be considered a friend, but..."
Chen Mo's lips curled slightly, and he laughed lightly, "There are no permanent friends, only eternal interests."
"Then, what is his true identity?"
Chu Rumei furrowed her eyebrows, looking at Chen Mo's appearance, she couldn't help but feel curious about the true identity of Elder Kuo.
Chen Mo thought for a moment and smiled, "Like me, but he should have a higher status than me..."
With a word dropped, both Xiao Doudian and Chu Rumei were somewhat puzzled, staring at Chen Mo as they opened their mouths to ask. Before they could speak, a sudden roar from Zhao Hu was heard outside the carriage.
Chen Mo was alert, flipping back the curtain to look out, seeing the Capital City in sight.
However, unlike before, many parts of the Capital City had now become ruins.
Under the ruins, there were already many figures moving back and forth, hurrying as they seemed to be rebuilding this somewhat dilapidated Capital City.
Around the Capital City, one could see high-ranking experts guarding the area, seemingly on alert for any possible enemies who might return.
With the appearance of Chen Mo and his party, the experts on duty around them all looked vigilant. Each of them had a fiery gaze fixed on Zhao Hu, emitting a terrifying aura subtly.
At this moment, Zhao Hu was also on high alert, staring at the group with a vigilant gaze. His large hand could be seen faintly resting on the hilt of his ancient broadsword, his eyes burning with a fierce look. It seemed that as soon as he could, he would charge out to engage with them in battle.
"Zhao Hu"
Chen Mo called out Zhao Hu's name, "It's all our own people. There's no need to be so anxious."
After Chen Mo spoke, Zhao Hu's hand that was holding the ancient broadsword slowly retracted.
Buzz
A buzzing sound came, and suddenly there was a distortion in the air above the Capital City. Then, Liu WuXin, dressed in a long black gown, slowly emerged from the distorted space.
Fortunately, the Capital City avoided a great disaster earlier. Liu WuXin was still on guard and immediately sensed the reaction of the guards around her, so she came out in a timely manner to prevent any potential troublemakers from attacking.
With a hint of alertness in her beautiful eyes, Liu WuXin's face lit up the moment she saw the approaching party.
"Brother～"
Upon seeing Chen Mo, Liu WuXin no longer had the cold aura she had earlier when facing the Sect Leader Ou ZhangTianHong. Instead, she showed a warm and gentle smile.
Even her voice, which was soft and sweet.
Liu WuXin stepped on the void, taking two steps at a time, hurrying towards Chen Mo. In no time, she had reached his side, opened her arms wide, and was about to give him a big bear hug.
Click
Just as Liu WuXin was about to open her arms and embrace Chen Mo, a small hand suddenly reached out and held her head, stopping her from going any further.
Liu WuXin's smile froze on her face as she looked at her younger sister, who was always being bullied by her, and her expression turned colder, "Xiao Doudian..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Doudian's eyebrows shot up, and she stood tall, chest puffed up, and coldly said, "Call me sister."
