    Chen Mo saw off Feng Banxia.

    Traveling east from the capital of the neighboring country, following the straight path for three days, Chen Mo finally arrived at the edge of the restricted area. Although he encountered strange beasts along the way, against the blood pressure imposed by the Crossed Blood Demon Race, they dared not take any risks.

    Chen Mo accompanied Feng Banxia for three days, all the way to the edge of the restricted area. He was somewhat worried that they couldn't get out, but seeing that the few people left safely, Chen Mo finally took a deep breath.

    But soon, he grew worried again. The boundary here was loosening, and there was a possibility of alien invasions at any time. If this were to be known to others, it would be dangerous.

    Thinking of this, Chen Mo waited there for a day, hoping to see if any other alien races would come over. However, he happened to come across the loosening boundary starting to auto-repair itself.

    Chen Mo stepped forward and lightly touched it. The barrier was extremely powerful. Even using all his might, he could not make a dent.

    At this point, Chen Mo could be certain that the barrier had been successfully repaired. As for why the barrier had loosened, that remained unknown.

    "The barriers of the nine continents are guarded by special personnel. They would not possibly create a barrier loosening at this moment unless it was the respected master in the Heavenly Teacher's residence..."

    "But the respected master, who has a heart for the world, would not have done such a thing. Could it be that Zhang Tianlin ordered it?"

    "But why would Zhang Tianlin do such a thing?"

    Chen Mo rubbed his chin thoughtfully for a moment and said, "Zhang Tianlin must be up to something behind the scenes. The Central Plains will probably witness another round of bloodshed and chaos."

    Chen Mo shook his head slightly, suddenly reminded of Liu Wuxin who was called to the Central Plains, a sense of bad premonition flashed through his heart.

    Thinking of this, Chen Mo spurred his horse to a gallop, heading straight for the capital city.

    A few days later, Chen Mo arrived in the capital city.

    Inside the imperial city, Yun Chunqiu, who had just received news of Chen Mo's escape from all corners, happened to bump into Chen Mo, who ran back carelessly. He immediately panicked. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, he rushed forward in a single bound and randomly summoned the red silk hanging on his body. He then quickly dragged it into Zhang Long's palace.

    "Master?"

    Seeing Chen Mo, the Zhang Long who had lost an arm and a leg smiled faintly and called out to him.

    Yun Chunqiu's pretty face showed a hint of anger. "How could you have come back again? Just now, I told everyone about the news that you knocked me out and escaped from the capital. Now, everyone is looking for your tracks. You come back now, are you planning to be caught and sent back?"

    "I'm telling you, before the emperor left, he instructed everyone not to let you escape. Otherwise, there will be severe punishment."

    Yun Chunqiu raised his eyebrows and cursed angrily.

    "Liu Wuxin has returned?"

    Chen Mo did not answer Yun Chunqiu's question and asked directly.

    Yun Chunqiu shook his head. "The emperor's mission said to be about important matters, but he will not be back for a while."

    "What's the hurry? In this imperial city, besides Wuxin, who can stop me?"

    Chen Mo shook his head slightly. "I came back for two reasons: one is to see if Wuxin has returned, and the other is to find someone to help me go to the Central Plains."

    At this point, Zhang Long, who was lying on the chair, moved his body slightly and showed a hint of excitement on his face, but it quickly faded.

    Zhang Long opened his mouth and said, "In the imperial city, there are no first-rate masters, but there are many second-rate masters. If Master wants to find a master, it's very simple. But for the powerful and trustworthy ones, I think Master may already have a number in mind."

    In the past, Zhang Long would have eagerly volunteered himself. But today, having lost an arm and a leg, he no longer had the confidence or spirit of old.

    Even if Chen Mo were to say he wanted to take him along right now, Zhang Long would still refuse.

    He didn't want to become a burden on Chen Mo because of him.

    Thump-thump—

    The sound of urgent footsteps came from outside the bedroom. A few figures rushed past the outer door.

    Yun Chunqiu was instantly shocked and pale. He had a hunch that perhaps Chen Mo's appearance had already alerted some people.

    Yun Chunqiu hurried to the door, his eyes moving slightly as he thought of how to send those people away.

    Dong-dong—

    The sound of knocking came, followed by a soft female voice, "Master is inside?"

    Yun Chunqiu cleared his throat, ready to respond, but was interrupted as Chen Mo answered instead.

    Yun Chunqiu raised his eyebrows and immediately showed a hint of anger on his face.

    "Dont be afraid, they are my people"

    Chen Mo smiled lightly, gently beckoning for Yun Chunqiu to open the door. Seeing this, Yun Chunqiu, with no choice but to comply, reluctantly opened the door.

    Soon, three figures rushed in, they were Zhao Qingling, Zhao Hu, and Fu Boss.

    "Ha ha, I knew it was you, Master. Just now in the city, I saw your figure from afar and was certain it was you."

    "Master, your return truly makes the old man happy. Although Miss Liu imprisoned you, it was for your own good."

    Fu Boss hesitated for a moment before speaking. After noticing that Chen Mo's expression was not pleased, he quickly closed his mouth.

    "Your coming is just right. If you hadn't come to find me, I was going to look for you myself. This time, I want to go to the Central Plains..."

    Chen Mo glanced at the three of them, and as soon as he finished speaking, Fu Boss was taken aback.

    "Master, Miss Liu has said that you must not run around carelessly or you will be in danger."

    Fu Boss's face was full of worry.

    In his youth, he had roamed the Central Plains and knew well that there were masters everywhere. Chen Mo's journey to the Central Plains might bring danger.

    "Fu Boss, you can rest assured. I will be fine in the Central Plains. I came back this time to find someone to accompany me, and that person will be Zhao Hu."

    Chen Mo thought for a moment and looked at Zhao Hu, the latter excitedly roared, shaking the whole bedroom.

    Chen Mo felt the roar of Zhao Hu was deafening. "Zhao Hu, be quiet."

    Only then did Zhao Hu, the towering giant, somewhat restrain himself.

    "Master, can I also go with you?"

    Zhao Qingling blinked her eyes rapidly, her heart filled with a bit of anticipation.

    Chen Mo shook his head gently. "This time, we are going to the Central Plains for important matters. You don't need to go. Stay here and wait until you reach the level of a second-class master before joining us."

    "Oh"

    Zhao Qingling unwillingly mumbled an "Oh," and pouted her little mouth, her face showing a trace of petulance.

    Fu Boss opened his mouth to say something, but after thinking it over, he didn't open his mouth and only left behind one sentence, "Master, be careful on your journey."

    Fu Boss knew that Chen Mo had his own plans. Throughout the journey, he had encountered many dangers and narrowly escaped them. Perhaps this time, he could also escape safely.

    At least, that is what Fu Boss prayed in his heart.

    "Right, there are two things I need to inform you."

    Chen Mo turned to look at Yun Chunqiu. When Liu Wuxin was not around, it was always she who made the decisions. There were some things that needed to be told to her as well.

    Chen Mo did not keep anything hidden and told Yun Chunqiu about everything that had happened in Donglin Country, including the fact that Feng Banxia had left the nine continents with her clan members.

    Also advising Yun Chunqiu to make sure a master is sent to guard the restricted area.
