Chapter 1111: Chapter 155: Take a Look at the Truth
The one before him was Lai Caisheng, not the Tianxin Seventy-First Generation, which made Mo Mo momentarily shocked, but suddenly understand some things.
Initially, Zhan obtained the Imperial Edict and was taken away by him. No matter where he hid or escaped, the Dao and Demon forces would always find him… If it was those more powerful, with strong mana and terrifying demonic power, it was understandable, but later, even random characters could easily locate him.
In the end, even hiding beneath the ancient well of the Song Ancestral Mansion, he was still found.
“This bell…” Mo Mo smiled bitterly, “From the beginning, when you gave the bell to Zhan, did you plan all of this…”
“In fact, I didn’t know who would obtain the Imperial Edict. When the bell was given out, I didn’t think in that direction either… You could say that destiny has its own plan.” The Bronze Masked Man… Lai Caisheng said calmly, “Of course, if you insist on seeing everything as arranged, I have no objection.”
“You… you stole the identity of Tianxin Seventy-First Generation?!” Mo Mo took a deep breath.
Suddenly, he felt fear… the Dao Monsters, and even the Management Bureau, had always targeted the Tianxin Seventy-First Generation. But if all of this wasn’t the Seventy-First Generation, but Lai Caisheng of the Seventy-Second Generation controlling from behind…
As the current heir of the Clothed Dao, he received respect from both the Dao and Demon realms, as a representative of the Daoist Association, with a semi-official background, likely having long-term dealings with the Management Bureau… he was always hiding in the light.
He even utilized the power of the light, openly manipulating the intelligence of the Dao and Demon realms, Management Bureau… with such terrifying resources, even if not specialized in feng shui and metaphysics, anyone else could often foresee the future.
This time, Lai Caisheng did not answer Mo Mo’s question.
In front of Mo Mo, he put on the Bronze Mask again, “ing here this time was actually for some matters. Encountering you is an accident. Since it’s an accident, let it be brief.”
Lai Caisheng seemed to intend to leave, and Mo Mo subconsciously threw out the talisman he held – but this powerful Dragon Tiger Mountain talisman was blocked by an invisible force before reaching Lai Caisheng and directly turned into ashes.
Seeing Lai Caisheng about to leave so recklessly, Mo Mo shouted urgently, “Why did you reveal yourself to me! Aren’t you afraid I’ll expose your identity?”
“Whether you expose it or not makes no difference… Even if knowing it’s me, it won’t change anything.” Lai Caisheng’s voice gradually faded away, and he had disappeared into the dense fog.
“e back! Lai Caisheng!!”
“Use your own eyes to see… see the truth beneath this peaceful world.”
“Lai…” Mo Mo charged forward, only to find no trace of him.
…
Only a few remained in the villa, mainly responsible for logistics, and the motion Mo Mo caused clearly didn’t disturb them.
After Lai Caisheng left, Mo Mo seemed lost, staying in the courtyard for a while before aimlessly walking out.
But at this time, Yan Xiaoxi returned.
Not just him, but the personnel of the three teams assembled this time to prevent the appearance of the Sixth Jade Dragon Pillar.
The plan to stop the Sixth Jade Dragon Pillar had failed. When Mo Mo arrived at the villa hall, it was easy to see the trace of desolation on everyone’s face.
Among the many people here, Mo Mo had only brief contact with Yan Xiaoxi, the Fiery Cloud Evil God, and Mr. Blind.
He quickly approached Yan Xiaoxi, “Director Yan, your actions?”
Yan Xiaoxi shook his head, which was the best answer. He reached out and patted Mo Mo’s shoulder, casually asking, “During our absence, was there anything special in the villa?”
Mo Mo opened his mouth, subconsciously wanting to talk about Lai Caisheng – but at that moment, Lai Caisheng’s departing words flashed in his mind.
—Go take a look… take a look at the truth beneath this peaceful world.
Somehow, the words that surged from his throat got stuck… Mo Mo pretended to look at the others swiftly, “Nothing special… Besides, the outside has an inner border, ordinary people can’t e in.”
“Is that so.” Yan Xiaoxi glanced thoughtfully at Mo Mo, then nodded… The Sixth Jade Dragon Pillar had already appeared, and only the last one remained, which was the urgent matter at hand. For some of Mo Mo’s abnormalities at this time, Yan Xiaoxi merely kept it in mind—at least he would not overly distract his energy now.
“I believe everyone is tired, rest well, conserve energy, the next tough battle awaits us.”
Yan Xiaoxi temporarily dismissed everyone, then left with the Fiery Cloud Evil God and Mr. Blind.
Mo Mo actually wanted to do something… but didn’t know what he could do, so he left dejectedly.
“Go take a look… how?”
Unconsciously, he walked out the gates of Wolong Mountain Villa, looking at everything covered by thick fog, not knowing anything… Mo Mo subconsciously walked into the dense fog.
Of course, he didn’t intend to go far, only the villa seemed suffocating, he just wanted to find a slightly unfamiliar environment.
As he walked, there appeared a door before him.
Mo Mo had seen this door… this ancient pinewood door.
…
…
The Fiery Cloud Evil God returned to the courtyard and suddenly spat a mouthful of fresh blood.
This made his disciple Yan Xiaoxi very nervous, carefully supporting the Fiery Cloud Evil God to sit down. At this time, Mr. Blind took out a small porcelain bottle from his body, instructing Yan Xiaoxi to let the Fiery Cloud Evil God take the medicine inside.
“Senior Qingxia Zi, what about Master?” Yan Xiaoxi seemed rather calm, not anxious amidst chaos.
Mr. Blind sighed, “Your master recklessly wielded the Tiger Soul Knife, consecutively using two moves of the Tiger Soul Knife. As the saying goes, struck once with vigor, struck twice and fades, struck thrice and exhausts. The Tiger Soul Knife is an ancient Demon Blade, fierce and difficult to tame. Once this blade intent erupts, it doesn’t stop until death. With my help, forcing it down naturally causes some backlash. But rest assured, your master’s constitution is special, it won’t take long to recover.”
The Fiery Cloud Evil God had already taken Mr. Blind’s medicine and was meditating to adjust his breathing.
Seeing his master’s gradually rosy aura, Yan Xiaoxi finally breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Mr. Blind, “Daoist, now the Six Jade Dragon Pillars have been established, do you have confidence in calculating the exact location of the seventh one?”
“I need some time.” Mr. Blind said solemnly, “By tomorrow, I’ll give you an answer… though the formation was my creation years ago, the emergence of the six pillars this time is quite different… my senior brother has likely painstakingly improved it.”
At this point, Mr. Blind suddenly smiled bitterly, “Laughable that I’ve always boasted as the most outstanding in Clothed Dao, today shows my senior brother’s achievement likely exceeded long ago… seeing the current positions of the six pillars, my senior brother indeed refined the ancient formation nearly perfectly.”
“The Tianxin Seventy-First Generation has likely been preparing for a long time.” Yan Xiaoxi said at this moment, “Even after the Dragon Fiend event years ago, he began his painstaking management. Using decades to simulate a formation, breakthroughs are not surprising. This formation was created by Mr. Blind, it’s the origin. The Seventy-First Generation merely built upon it for today’s oute, please don’t underestimate yourself.”
“You’re nothing like your master.” Mr. Blind smiled, “He doesn’t care so much, when it’s time to mock me, he does so without hesitation.”
“Do you talk about someone’s master like this, you old blind man?” The Fiery Cloud Evil God slowly opened his eyes.
“Master, how do you feel?” Yan Xiaoxi asked with concern.
Fiery Cloud Evil God stood up after releasing his power, “Other matters aside, the potion of this old blind man is indeed effective. His medicines can’t be said to be the best, but they always work swiftly.”
“Mr. Mo Mo is truly talented.” Yan Xiaoxi couldn’t help but admire Mr. Blind, a former member of the Clothed Dao. He was not only skilled in magic circles but also had remarkable achievements in medicine, with his personal strength being unfathomable.
“What talent? I call him a fool!”
Fiery Cloud Evil God suddenly snorted, “He clearly has extraordinary talent, but he dabbles in everything. His whole body looks like it’s filled with blades, but none of them are sharp. This principle of being overstretched and underachieved is understood even by a three-year-old, yet it vanishes without a trace in this blind man! What a waste of his genius! If he were to focus on one path, today his cultivation might not be weaker than mine! Just look at your mediocre senior brother; today, he has surpassed you!”
Yan Xiaoxi frowned slightly but didn’t say much… It was clearly not the first time he had witnessed Fiery Cloud Evil God’s sharp tongue.
“If I were to focus on one path, wouldn’t I have been beaten to death by you today?” Mr. Blind shook his head, “Enough with the chatter. Let your disciple prepare something for me; I need to retreat for a day.”
Fiery Cloud Evil God waved at Yan Xiaoxi and then sat down cross-legged again, closing his eyes, ignoring everything.
…
…
Ring—!
The bell at the door suddenly rang.
Mo Mo had already e to this place for the third time… Cold, damp, everything unpleasant disappeared without a trace here, and one could even smell a special fragrance that unconsciously relaxed the body.
However, unlike the previous two times, Mo Mo saw a new face here… A young man with a scarf. As for the metallic dog crouching at the young man’s feet, Mo Mo paid it little attention.
Mo Mo saw Nero and naturally also noticed You Ye, who was acting as a maid.
At this moment, Nero popped his head out from You Ye’s side, waved at Mo Mo, “Oh, good day, little brother! Long time no see… Here to buy something? e, e, I’ll serve you!”
With that said, Nero rushed to Mo Mo with astonishing speed, directly grabbed Mo Mo’s wrist, led him to a table nearby, and sat him down, “e, e, want to drink something!”
Such enthusiasm… Mo Mo’s appearance was probably the best excuse for her to escape from the maid’s teachings—serving guests.
“Why did you…”
Mo Mo was a bit stunned by Nero’s enthusiasm.
“Oh, strange, isn’t it?” Nero squinted and smiled mischievously, “Starting today, I’m an employee of this shop.”
Mo Mo opened his mouth in surprise but ultimately didn’t say anything… Seeing the lively Nero before him reminded him of the pain Nero endured, as felt by the maid.
He couldn’t even bear the sharp pain for five seconds before nearly collapsing.
Mo Mo did not think that this could be used as an excuse for indiscriminate killing… But after these days, he had to admit that it could serve as someone else’s reason.
He smiled bitterly, “Well… congratulations then.”
Nero paused for a moment, looked at Mo Mo weirdly, then suddenly turned her head and said, “Grand Steward, I can’t serve this guest!”
“Mr. Mo Mo, is there anything I can assist you with?”
The maid at this time slowly approached Mo Mo, slightly bent down, and asked.
Mo Mo looked at this nearly perfect face, instinctively saying, “I don’t know why… I walked and walked and ended up here. Yet… I shouldn’t have walked this far.”
“I see…” The maid smiled slightly, “Well, Mr. Mo Mo, please wait a moment, I’ll call the Lord.”
Lord…
Mo Mo felt a jolt in his heart and blurted out, “Senior… has returned?”
…
Luo Qiu hadn’t taken any business in a while—in the club’s hall.
Undoubtedly, those who unknowingly walked into the club’s hall would be guests of the club.
“Mr. Mo Mo, is there anything I can assist you with?” Luo Qiu slightly asked while looking at Mo Mo.
The maid, along with Nero who had changed into maid attire, stood side by side at this time.
Mo Mo seemed somewhat unaccustomed to being asked in such a manner by this person… previously always regarded as a senior. He furrowed his brows several times, opened his mouth but then hesitated and stopped.
Luo Qiu slightly smiled and snapped his fingers.
The hall suddenly dimmed.
Darkness spread from all around, slowly engulfing the surroundings of the hall… slowly extending to the side of Luo Qiu and Mo Mo—even the maid and Nero were enveloped in darkness.
The only thing left was the one-meter space where Luo Qiu and Mo Mo sat.
A truly magical scene… though darkness surrounded them, within this space, visibility was normal, and it was extremely quiet.
Quiet enough to instinctively feel the security brought by privacy…
“Does this feel better?” Luo Qiu asked softly.
Mo Mo nodded, seemingly hesitant to meet Luo Qiu’s gaze… He looked at the surrounding darkness and suddenly smiled bitterly, “I said something laughable to Senior before.”
Luo Qiu asked curiously, “What do you mean?”
Mo Mo lowered his head, “Senior… do you think I should buy something from you?”
Luo Qiu was silent for a moment before slowly saying, “Whether to buy or not isn’t a decision I can make for you. It’s when you genuinely wish to buy something that it will appear before you.”
Mo Mo looked at Luo Qiu and finally spoke, “Senior… I want to see… see the truth.”
