The road is vague

Chapter 230 First Glimpse of Talent (Part 9)

More than thirty Foundation Establishment disciples transformed into streaks of light and stopped behind Ye Shoutian without any order of arrival.

"How could it be him?"

Upon seeing Li Mo, Chen Rong and Chen Yu immediately showed expressions of disbelief.

Chen Yu, in particular, felt his hair stand on end after witnessing Li Mo kill Lü Zun right under Ye Tangzhu's nose, despite Ye Tangzhu's imposing presence.

After many years apart, even though they were on opposing sides, he was still awestruck by his senior classmate's indomitable spirit, which made him recall the time he spent in the training hall eleven years ago. He felt as if he had become that impetuous young man again.

He then noticed that his aunt, Chen Rong, was restless and kept looking around.

"Aunt, are you alright?"

“How could things have come to this? Li Mo… No, I need to go to Chen Kaixuan’s place. Even if it’s just to spare his life, I really can’t bear to see that scene.”

Chen Rong was flustered and heartbroken.

Besides.

Two other people looked at Li Mo, their expressions changing drastically.

One of them had a gentle demeanor and a beautiful appearance; she was Jiang Caiqian, who had just woven the Wunian silk for Li Mo a few days ago.

At that moment, her eyes darted around, and she was utterly astonished.

According to her mother, this person should be exceptionally talented, intelligent, and law-abiding. While she didn't dislike him, she certainly didn't like him either.

The image he presents today is nothing like what his mother described.

The other person was a portly man, holding a banana leaf fan, and breathing rapidly; he was none other than Lü Cuicui's brother, Lü Shun.

At this moment, he looked worried and extremely anxious.

As the older brother, he knew all too well how far Li Mo and Lü Cuicui had gone. Now that Li Mo was in imminent danger, he was naturally anxious but didn't know how to resolve the situation.

Ye Shoutian looked down at Li Mo from outside the great formation.

His magical power surged violently, causing even the surrounding spiritual light to become turbulent.

"Boy."

His voice sounded as if it were being squeezed out of his throat.

"Do you even know what you've done? You understand nothing!"

Li Mo looked up, staring directly at Ye Shoutian with a stubborn expression, breathing silently.

Although he didn't know what had happened behind the scenes, he had already decided to follow Lu Qi to the death, even if it meant being shattered to pieces.

At this moment, his figure appeared exceptionally small beneath the giant sword hanging in the air.

However, in the eyes of the other six Foundation Establishment cultivators who came with him, he was exceptionally tall, with a towering figure that stood firm and unyielding to the death.

"Junior brother."

Jiang Feiyan stared at Li Mo, lost in thought and murmured to herself.

"Humph!"

Ye Shoutian snorted coldly, gave Li Mo a deep look, then glanced at the surging Azure Dragon Pool, sighed inwardly, and gestured to the more than thirty Foundation Establishment cultivators who had followed behind him.

"Chen Kaixuan, Tong Yuan, Wang Jing."

"The disciple is here."

Of the five law enforcement captains, Wang Jing was the last to arrive, aside from the one who betrayed them.

Ye Shoutian waved his hand, pointing directly at the Qinglongtan battle group.

"To control this great formation, I will bring two more formation-breaking masters from the Lü family as soon as possible. We must break this forbidden formation within half an hour, or it will be too late."

"Yes!"

More than thirty Foundation Establishment cultivators took to the air and, led by three people, fearlessly charged into the great formation, heading straight for the members of the Justice Society.

Seeing this, Ye Shoutian did not linger any longer. After a few flashes, he flew towards the Dharma Protector Hall.

The Lingmu Sect's rune masters and array masters almost disappeared during the Hundred Years' War. Afterwards, the Lü family mainly provided new generations of disciples to train as rune masters and array masters.

Lü Jin, Lü Zun, Lü Tong, and others were all outstanding disciples of the Lü family who studied this art.

Now that Lü Zun has died in battle, Ye Shoutian's first thought is of Lü Jin, one of the five military formation instructors of the Guardian Hall. No matter what the situation is there, he must find this person as soon as possible.

"Junior brother, leave quickly!"

Jiang Feiyan recovered somewhat and let out a loud shout.

At this moment, the seven of them were isolated and helpless. Seeing the numerous powerful enemies pouring in from outside the formation, Li Mo, who had previously used the Wind Escape Technique to assassinate Lü Zun at all costs, was now in the edge area of ​​the forbidden formation and would inevitably become the primary target of these supporting cultivators.

His previous actions must have aroused deep hatred among the powerful families. If he were to be surrounded and killed now, he would only face certain death.

Li Mo also realized his dangerous situation, and he immediately summoned the Five Elements Black Tortoise Shield.

Amidst the continuous explosions, this top-grade magical artifact immediately shielded him from the counterattack of the four protectors surrounding Lü Zun.

Although the tortoise shell was shaking violently, its spiritual energy remained stable.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Mo activated the Formless Robe, his figure instantly fading and disappearing. He then used the Dark Concealment Thunder Step to break free from the encirclement and fled towards Jiang Feiyan, attempting to rejoin the main force of the Justice Society.

"He's there!"

The Lingmu Sect has never lacked disciples who can see through hidden things. Immediately, someone pointed at Li Mo and offered up various magical artifacts in his direction.

"Junior brother!"

Jiang Feiyan and her companions all unleashed their magical artifacts to shield Li Mo from some of the attacks, but several artifacts still managed to catch up and land on the Five Elements Black Tortoise Shield.

The Five Elements Black Tortoise Shield spun rapidly, constantly blocking the magical artifacts behind it.

However, even though the Five Elements Black Tortoise Shield was incredibly powerful, it gradually became overwhelmed after being attacked by a large number of magical artifacts, and its spiritual light became dull.

Seeing this, the members of the Justice Society in the distance abandoned their pursuit of the defeated Law Enforcement Hall disciples and quickly gathered together, ready for battle.

However, at this moment, Li Mo, Jiang Feiyan, and the other seven were a full three or four hundred feet away from the crowd.

Faced with pursuit from more than thirty people behind him, Li Mo gritted his teeth and suddenly distanced himself from the six men.

"Senior sister, don't worry about me."

He resolutely flew off in another direction. Jiang Feiyan screamed in terror, trying to stop Li Mo, but he refused.

"If this continues, I'll drag you all down with me."

Say it.

Li Mo activated the Thunder Wings secret technique, maximizing his agility and escape skills, and flew close to the whirlpool on the lake surface towards a sparsely populated area.

Nine vanguards broke away from the main force and followed closely behind, led by Chen Kaixuan, the head of the Zhenfeng Pavilion.

The pursuers kept attacking Li Mo, but he skillfully dodged most of them by maneuvering left and right.

With a series of loud explosions, columns of water rose from the lake. The remaining disciples of the Enforcement Hall, the disciples of the Zhenfeng Pavilion, and the temporarily gathered disciples from aristocratic families, numbering about forty, pressed down on the Enforcement Hall disciples who were on high alert.

The situation between the two sides reversed instantly, and the members of the Justice Society's predicament took a sharp turn for the worse.

"Brother Triumph!"

Chen Rong chased after Chen Kaixuan without hesitation and stopped him.

Chen Kaixuan was extremely anxious, but he had no choice but to stop and look at Chen Rong with a puzzled expression.

"Junior Sister Chen Rong, what are you trying to do at a time like this!"

While the two were talking, the other seven Foundation Establishment disciples quickly swam across the water and chased after Li Mo.

Chen Rong's eyes were red as she grasped Chen Kaixuan's hand.

“Senior Brother Kaixuan, Li Mo and I are kindred spirits, like teacher and friend. I watched him grow up. He must have had a reason for doing this today. No matter what he did wrong, please spare his life.”

Chen Kaixuan flew into a rage upon hearing this.

He pulled his hands away from Chen Rong, feeling disappointed and frustrated.

"Junior Sister Chen Rong, at a time like this, what nonsense are you spouting!"

After a brief moment of anger, Chen Kaixuan saw Chen Rong burst into tears and couldn't help but recall scenes from his childhood. He touched Chen Rong's cheek and wiped away her tears, but in the end, he couldn't bear it and sighed deeply.

"You're still like you were when you were a child, you don't understand anything."

He then glanced at Li Mo, who was being chased by seven people and was getting further and further away, and then at the main battlefield above Qinglongtan, where there were as many as seventy or eighty people fighting in a chaotic melee. In an instant, several people screamed and fell into the lake, their fate unknown. It was a veritable hell on earth.

After sighing, Chen Kaixuan turned around and flew towards the main battlefield.

"Senior brother, senior brother..."

Chen Rong kept calling out behind him, but Chen Kaixuan remained unmoved, his heart as firm as stone.

……

As Li Mo flew close to the Azure Dragon Pool, he calculated his remaining magical power.

He was being pursued by nine cultivators of the same level, which made him feel immense pressure.

In battles between cultivators, unless it involves a fight across a major realm, the pressure increases exponentially with each additional person.

To defeat nine opponents alone, one must defeat them one by one, or have the help of a formation.

A head-on confrontation will only lead to certain death.

Sudden.

He noticed that two of the nine people chasing him had stopped.

"Senior Sister Chen Rong?"

After gazing at him briefly, Li Mo felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

Just then, a silver spear suddenly pierced through the sky, passed through the Five Elements Black Tortoise Shield, and headed straight for Li Mo.

Li Mo dared not be careless or distracted any longer. His high-speed flight displayed amazing flexibility, and he made an exaggerated, almost artistic gesture to skillfully dodge the attack of the silver spear.

However, before he could even make a slight adjustment, a dense barrage of wind blades tore through the sky, attacking him from all directions.

The six calamities and six tribulations matrix puppets that accompanied it stepped forward.

After a series of dense "thud" and "thud" sounds, the matrix puppet's body was covered in wounds, but they were insignificant compared to its enormous size.

Taking this opportunity, Li Mo used the Shadow Line Technique to infuse magic power into the Matrix Puppet.

The Six Calamities and Six Disasters Matrix Puppet suddenly shone brightly. It opened its arms wide and unleashed a powerful punch at a female host cultivator. The terrifying spiritual pressure exploded, causing the leaders of the Zhenfeng Pavilion to pale in shock and stop in their tracks.

Li Mo also took this opportunity to conceal himself with the Formless Robe, disappearing from everyone's perception.

"Be careful!!"

The terrifying aura pointed directly at a Foundation Establishment stage leader who was following closely behind.

This person had a hideous scar on his cheek that resembled a centipede, running from the corner of his mouth to the back of his head, making him look exceptionally fierce.

This is a common characteristic of the disciples of Zhenfeng Pavilion; they often have special injuries or are cursed.

The reason Li Mo chose him was because his spiritual eyes had extremely strong insight into concealment.

This middle-aged cultivator with hideous scars summoned his hook-and-fork magic weapon, forming a combined defense in a cross pattern.

After the powerful spiritual light landed on the intersecting hook-and-fork magic artifact, the clerk felt the terrifying spiritual light of the matrix puppet. His eyes widened instantly, and dense blood vessels appeared in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and resisted.

Accompanied by a hysterical roar.

After the matrix puppet punched him dozens of feet away, the magistrate finally stopped sliding on the lake water, his magical power disordered and he was panting heavily.

"This person's puppetry skills are extraordinary."

The remaining six people unleashed their magical artifacts and attacked the matrix puppet, while remaining vigilant against Li Mo's sneak attack.

As soon as the other side shows up, the six will launch a counterattack immediately.

Forced into a defensive stance, the matrix puppet withstood numerous attacks thanks to its powerful physique and abundant spiritual energy. After a round of attacks, the six people couldn't help but gasp in shock when they realized that their attacks had failed to destroy the matrix puppet.

at this time.

A scream came from afar.

The six turned to look and saw that it was Dian Chang, who had been forced back by the matrix puppet earlier, but was now being ambushed by Li Mo, who pierced his chest with a sword.

The six people who witnessed this scene couldn't help but gasp.

This person was incredibly audacious; he quietly returned.

"You audacious madman, take this!"

Zhang Qiuyu, the head of the Ding-class headquarters, let out a loud shout and unleashed his signature technique, the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles. Dense clusters of poisonous wood needles rained down on Li Mo's location.

The other five also unleashed their spells and attacked Li Mo.

Of these six people, four were chief clerks, and the remaining two included Lü Shun.

He tried to conceal his distinctive physique and wore a ghost mask, hoping to find an opportunity to save Li Mo's life and avoid future identification.

But the current situation is far beyond his expectations.

The so-called "Director" is a position in the True Sealing Pavilion responsible for education, persuasion, changing customs, and restoring etiquette.

The original intention was good.

However, in practice, it gradually evolved into a cruel official in prison.

Li Mo's figure vanished again like a gentle breeze, having avoided the attacks of the group.
