"Knowing that the Gu Body Sect is in the city, as the prefect, your first thought was to cover up the news and pretend there is peace. This is already a grave mistake!"
"Have you thought about what situation the people of Bailu City would face if you managed to conceal this matter?"
Chen Mo glared at Kuang Yinghao, his tone growing increasingly severe, "It’s not that he doesn’t want to be greedy, it’s that he doesn’t dare! Just because he’s timid and cherishes his reputation, he sacrifices countless lives. You call this integrity?"
Kuang Yinghao hung his head, speechless.
Initially, he also supported Jiao Yu’s actions. After all, no one expected things to escalate to this extent.
Yin Tiankou was using the city’s people to refine Gu, and the Barbarian Tribe had infiltrated the state mansion like a sieve... If not for Chen Mo and the Princess using thunderous thods to suppress them, the consequences might have been unimaginable!
"Jiao Yu is not greatly evil, just rather incompetent, but incompetence itself is the greatest sin." Chen Mo said, "I will explain to the imperial envoy to let him retire peacefully, but he is not suited for the position of Nantu Prefect."
As for appointing Kuang Yinghao, it’s like choosing the tallest among the short.
At least in the previous interrogation, it could be seen that this person has so blood and his abilities are passable; at least he can hold the ground.
"Understood." Kuang Yinghao nodded in response.
"By the way, since you’re here, there’s sothing else I need you to do."
Chen Mo took out a blueprint from the Heavenly Profound Ring and handed it to Kuang Yinghao.
"What is this?"
Looking at the complex patterns on it, Kuang Yinghao was puzzled.
"The Nine-layered Mysterious Gate Golden Lock Formation, it usually absorbs and stores the Primordial Qi floating in the air. When necessary, it can activate city defense. In a fully activated state, even a second-grade Grandmaster would find it hard to break through in a short ti."
"I will notify the Nantu Branch of the Sky Scale Guard to send people over to assist in setting up the array."
"After all, the Barbarian Tribe is also involved this ti, we must guard against their counterattack to prevent the tragedy of the past from recurring."
Chen Mo paused, then said, "You don’t have to worry about issues with the array, I’ve already reported it to Her Highness the Princess."
Kuang Yinghao scrutinized the blueprint and indeed found the imperial seal at the bottom.
At this mont, he noticed that the array hub was located at Purple Clouds Mountain, and he couldn’t help but be startled, "So Mr. Chen wants to build a shrine for this reason?"
"Purple Clouds Mountain gathers nature’s spiritual energy, which can further amplify the power of the array. Since soone ntioned it, I might as well go along with it," Chen Mo said, "This matter shouldn’t be known to too many people; it can conveniently be used as a disguise, ostensibly building a shrine, but secretly constructing a great array."
Kuang Yinghao was silent for a mont, put away the blueprint, and then made a deep bow, saying in a deep voice:
"Kuang Jie praised Mr. Chen highly in his letter, saying you are different from others, a pillar of the Earth God with talents as vast as the world."
"I thought there might be so exaggeration in his words, but now, it seems he was too conservative."
"Mr. Chen, you are a truly good official."
Unlike his respectful but distant attitude earlier, his tone now was filled with heartfelt admiration.
"Stop with the awkward praise and get to work."
Chen Mo waved his hand impatiently.
He’s not so noble, he had his own motives.
This ti, Qi Ye’s actions exposed the emperor’s conspiracy, making him feel an unprecedented crisis.
It was previously verified that building a shrine and receiving the people’s incense offerings could enhance Dragon Qi. This Nine-layered Mysterious Gate Golden Lock Formation, after modifications, could not only provide protection but also channel Earth Vein Power to the Purple Cloud Temple, further enhancing the effect.
This is also his greatest trump card at the mont!
"Want to use ?"
"Then let’s see if you have the ability!"
Chen Mo snorted coldly in his heart, a chill flickering in his eyes.
...
...
After explaining everything to Kuang Yinghao, Chen Mo returned to his room.
Previously, the Xuan Armor Guard had stationed at the state mansion, making it inaccessible to outsiders, so Li Yuan and others could only stay at an inn in the outer city.
Chen Mo first sent a ssage for them to co over, then sat cross-legged on the bed and opened the system panel.
This southern journey to handle the case spanned the provinces of Tiannan and Nantu, with continuous fierce battles, leaving him ntally and physically exhausted.
But similarly, the gains were considerable.
Apart from the True Spirits obtained from slaying Yin Tiankou and a group of elders, the most important things were the two Daoist Skills:
One was the "Purple Cloud Heart Scripture," and the other was the lower volu of the "Gu Scripture."
Chen Mo took out these two cultivation techniques, then procured a fiery red stone with complex carvings on its surface, which emitted constant heat.
The Refining Stone, a reward he received after completing the Southern Heaven Demon Hunting incident, could fuse two cultivation techniques or martial arts, with a chance to transform them. The "Azure Dragon Shattering Star Power," which allowed him to repeatedly challenge higher levels, ca from this.
"The Gu God Sect’s thod of modifying the body isn’t suitable for , but so of its techniques are very useful, especially the one that can transform the world around into one’s own — ’Create Myriad Transformations’..."
"But that technique essentially relies on Gu Poison Worms as its foundation."
"If it rges with the ’Purple Cloud Heart Scripture,’ perhaps it might yield a different outco..."
"Anyway, at worst, I’ll just lose a Refining Stone, so why not give it a try?"
Having made up his mind, Chen Mo crushed the fiery red stone with a loud crack!
"Fuse the Cultivation Techniques: ’Gu Scripture’ and ’Purple Cloud Heart Scripture’?"
"Yes!"
Boom!
A thunderous roar echoed in his mind!
At the sa ti, his dantian suddenly projected beams of brilliant light!
"Wait..."
"This is?!"
Looking at the scene before him, Chen Mo was stunned.
