Shennongjia Sacred Domain.
Here, completely isolated from the Mortal World, the terrain was precipitous, nestled against mountains and near waters.
The entire Shennongjia Sacred Domain was home to many Martial Cultivators. The lowest among them were Basic-level Martial Artists. In the Shennongjia Sacred Domain, Basic-level Martial Artists were insignificant like ants.
But in the city, they were considered top-notch experts, even surpassing some special forces soldiers.
The Shennongjia Sacred Domain was even more formidable than Kunlun Mountain simply because of the sheer number of Martial Arts Masters who were stationed there.
There were numerous Martial Venerates alone.
At this moment, atop a mountain in the Shennongjia Sacred Domain, within an extremely luxurious great hall, a white-haired elder was discussing matters with more than a dozen elders.
But the next second, a figure rushed frantically into the great hall, looking incredibly disheveled, as if he had traveled hundreds of miles in haste.
Upon entering the great hall, he fell to his knees with a thud, wailing loudly,
"Sect Leader, something terrible has happened!"
Instantly, the white-haired elder above showed a face full of rage, demanding,
"Sheng Ke, do you realize your crime?"
When the white-haired elder's suppression fell upon Sheng Ke, he immediately quivered all over, his face instantly turning pale, but he hurriedly said,
"Sect Leader, calm your fury. It's an urgent matter; that's why I barged into the great hall. You can listen to what I have to say, and then decide whether to kill or flay me."
"Speak!"
Hearing that, Zi Yu Taoist slightly raised his brows, his voice detached,
"Sect Leader, your brother, Holy Land Taoist, has met his death."
Sheng Ke said with a face full of sorrow, tears unable to stop falling: "Also, Holy Land Taoist's Direct Disciple, Murong Lingxuan, has been crippled."
"What!"
Whoosh!!
In an instant, an endless fury erupted from the body of the Holy Land Taoist, and in a moment, pits half a meter deep exploded in the floor of the great hall.
Thud, thud!
The surrounding disciples, all frightened, fell to their knees, cold sweat breaking out on their foreheads.
As for the elders, they were somewhat apprehensive.
"Exactly who killed my brother? Tell me everything exactly as it happened!" Zi Yu Taoist's face revealed a chilling intent to kill, his powerful aura enveloping the entire great hall, turning the whole space suddenly as cold and forbidding as a mountain.
Holy Land Taoist and Zi Yu Taoist both were Direct Disciples of Holy Land Ancestor Yu Cheng, but the two were blood brothers with a deep affection for each other since childhood.
Now, hearing this news, how could Zi Yu Taoist not rage?
"Sect Leader, here's what happened. A young man bore a grudge against the Murong Family in Imperial City and sought revenge. His strength was great; he slaughtered countless experts of the Murong Family. Concerned about the Murong Family, Murong Lingxuan decided to return home, and Holy Land Taoist also accompanied her back. Little did they know, not only was Sister Murong Lingxuan stripped of her cultivation, but … Holy Land Taoist was also killed by that young man."
"What is the name of that person?"
"Lin Mo."
"Lin Mo? Quite the brat from the Mortal World!"
Zi Yu Taoist's anger soared to the heavens as he coldly said, "I will personally go to the Mortal World and dismember this child Lin Mo into a thousand pieces."
"Sect Leader, wait!"
A voice suddenly called out to him.
Zi Yu Taoist glanced back slightly, looking towards the Ten Elders, and asked coldly, "Ten Elders, are you trying to stop me from avenging my brother?"
"Sect Leader, please calm your anger, I did not mean it in that way."
The Ten Elders said, "Sect Leader, if you were to personally leave the Shennongjia Sacred Domain to kill a boy from the Mortal World, and if word got out, our Shennongjia Sacred Domain would probably lose all face, not to mention that the Shennongjia Sacred Domain still needs you to preside over the overall situation."
"Speak plainly!"
The Ten Elders nodded, asked Sheng Ke a few questions, and then a ferocious cold smile emerged on his face:
"Sect Leader, let me take care of this matter myself, I guarantee that I will capture the boy and bring him back."
Zi Yu Taoist pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, I'll leave this matter to you. If you don't succeed, you'll have to bring your head to see me."
"Don't worry, Sect Leader, I guarantee you that Lin Mo will wish he was dead!" The Ten Elders said coldly.
Afterward, the Ten Elders, accompanied by several Martial Arts Masters from the Shennongjia Sacred Domain, set off for the Imperial City.
On the way, Sheng Ke couldn't help but ask, "Ten Elders, are you really confident that you can take down that mad Lin Mo? He has even killed a Holy Land Taoist."
"Don't worry, the people of the Mortal World are not like those of us from the Hidden Sect; they are influenced by their emotions and desires, and that is exactly their most fatal weakness!"
The Ten Elders smiled ominously, his voice brimming with confidence, yet a thick lust flashed across his face. In the Shennongjia Sacred Domain, the Ten Elders had defiled numerous stunning women, and now he finally had the chance to leave the Shennongjia Sacred Domain, he was eager to arrive at the Imperial City. He had heard that the beauties of the Mortal World knew how to dress to kill, and he couldn't wait to reach the Imperial City.
...
Lin Mo at Imperial Tian Nan University in the Imperial City was unaware of all these, but for Lin Mo, any scheme or trick was futile in the face of absolute power.
It was almost one in the morning when he left the Murong Family.
Lin Mo took Xia Mengdie, stepping through the starry sky, admiring the bright moon, and then returned to Xia Mengdie's villa.
The next morning, upon waking and finding no food ingredients at home, Lin Mo took Xia Mengdie to Willsey Restaurant, the most upscale steakhouse on the pedestrian street, for steak.
Lin Mo ordered two of the most expensive steaks here and then turned to go to the restroom.
Just then, a tall foreigner, followed by several bodyguards, strolled into the restaurant.
However, when he saw Xia Mengdie, his steps suddenly halted, and a lascivious light flickered in his eyes:
"What a beautiful Huaxia woman, this chick, I've got her!"
Seeing this, a middle-aged Huaxia man beside him hurriedly said, "Young Master Waxes, this is Huaxia, please do not act recklessly."
"Manager Wang, the entire Willsey Restaurant is owned by my family. Moreover, I've heard that as long as Huaxia women have money and power, they are willing to sleep with others. I'm just sleeping with her for one night; she gets what she wants, mutual benefit, I consider this helping others."
Waxes snorted coldly, then strode towards Xia Mengdie's location.
In an instant, Waxes and his bodyguards approached Xia Mengdie.
Taking a step forward, Waxes smiled at Xia Mengdie like a gentleman:
"Beautiful miss, may I invite you to a private room for a chat?"
Xia Mengdie's pretty eyes narrowed with a touch of anger, "I have a boyfriend, please leave immediately!"
Waxes's face froze; he had been in Huaxia for half a month, yet he had seduced over twenty Huaxia women.
With his handsome looks and wealth, he had a ninety-nine percent success rate; in his eyes, Asian women were the easiest to charm.
He did not expect Xia Mengdie to reject him.
"Beautiful lady, let's be straightforward. If you're willing to go to the private room and have some pleasurable time with me, I'm willing to give you a million."
Bang!
However, as soon as he finished speaking, a wine bottle smashed onto his head, and blood flowed down like a river in an instant.
"Ahh!"
Waxes screamed miserably, and when he turned his head, he saw a young man looking at him with a cold, icy gaze.
"Damn it, you dare to hurt me?"
