The road is vague

Chapter 310 Unstoppable (Part 9)
Two days later.

Holding the spirit tea, Li Mo watched the timid, bearded cultivator leave with a grateful expression, then shook his head and looked at Wang Sai.

“This fellow Daoist Bian is quite a remarkable person.”

This box of spiritual tea is quite valuable. After Li Mo opened the lid and smelled it, a satisfied smile immediately appeared on his face.

Upon hearing this, Wang Sai couldn't help but smile slightly.

"This person really doesn't have any bad intentions, senior brother, please don't take it to heart."

"I'm here to carry out a secret mission, so why would I care about such trivial matters?"

Li Mo put away the spirit tea and said.

Upon seeing this, Wang Sai immediately felt relieved.

He wasn't concerned about the life or death of the cultivator surnamed Bian, but rather he didn't want the Lingmu Sect cultivators to be seen as mean-spirited by others.

"Alright, Senior Brother Li, I'll be leaving now. Take good care of your injuries... By the way, Uncle Ye and the others should arrive in the next couple of days. Shall we go and greet them together?"

"OK."

Seeing that Li Mo had agreed, Wang Sai left with a smile.

After returning to his room, Li Mo fiddled with the matrix puppet for a while before going back to his desk to look at the talismans he had carefully made over the past few days.

These talismans, after being repeatedly soaked in a special spiritual liquid, are now in the natural drying stage and will be fully formed in two more days.

Because the materials were so expensive, he only prepared five sheets and didn't know how successful he would be.

If it were lightning-based magic, his chances of success would naturally be much higher.

However, the Earth-Shaking Talisman is an earth-based spell, and he was not entirely confident in its effectiveness.

Two more days passed.

Seven warships bearing the banners of the Lingmu Sect arrived at the Qian Kingdom's camp from afar and slowly descended to the ground under the command of the relevant cultivators.

Hundreds of warships of various types were moored in the vast camp.

In the distance came the training shouts of the main force soldiers and the roars of the savage beast army. Li Mo, Jiang Caiqian, Wang Sai, Ye Fuhu and many other Foundation Establishment disciples from the division and contract departments stepped forward to greet them with cupped hands.

"Disciple Li Mo greets Martial Uncle Ye!"

"Disciple Jiang Caiqian greets you..."

The four Golden Core cultivators led by Ye Shoutian, along with his Daoist partner Bai Jingjing and his two children Ye Yifang and Ye Zhimei, left Li Mo astonished and shocked.

The other people who came to greet them couldn't help but look at each other, feeling a vague unease.

Could it be that something has happened to the higher-ups in the sect?
Ye Shoutian and Bai Jingjing smiled slightly and nodded to everyone.

"You all represent my Lingmu Sect in this battle for the Great Qian Dynasty. You have made great contributions and deserve my deepest respect. Please accept my bow."

Everyone returned the greeting.

Seeing that Ye Shoutian was about to report to the military headquarters after exchanging pleasantries, Li Mo couldn't help but step forward and ask him questions.

"Uncle-Master Ye, why did the sect make these arrangements for this aid mission?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Shoutian, who was not particularly handsome, smiled kindly.

“Nephew Li, don’t worry. Actually, the four of us applied to come here on our own initiative, which can be considered as us trying to seize an opportunity for ourselves. You’ll understand in a few days. Oh, by the way, before I left, the sect leader asked me to tell you that after you complete your secret mission, you don’t need to stay in the military. This is a new mission.”

Li Mo accepted the mission scroll.

The mission was to traverse the lands of Lu, the Seven Kingdoms, and the Death Storm, then travel to the Eastern Ridge Wasteland to find the three Lingmu Sect disciples trapped in Silver Fox City. After that, he was to secretly find a safe and secluded location for the Great Qian Kingdom to build an ancient teleportation array at any cost in the future.

This teleportation array can be used to contact the Misty Clan across the State of Lu, or to travel in the opposite direction through the Death Storm, to support the independence of the Seven Kingdoms and to sow discord between the Seven Kingdoms and the State of Lu.

The sect's arrangement clearly indicates their intention to send him away to avoid trouble.

After everyone had dispersed...

Li Mo returned to his room, looking thoughtful.

After learning that Ye Yineng's real name was Li Yineng and that she was actually an imperial princess, Li Mo began to have some suspicions about why Wang Feng had chosen to marry Ye Xuan.

Wang Feng's family likely learned of this news in advance and made prior contact with the Ye family, thus indirectly establishing contact with the royal family.

The bonds between these powerful families are far beyond what outsiders can imagine.

The Ye family likely has some special connection with the royal family that is unknown to outsiders.

This Uncle Ye Shoutian must have received some secret information, which is why he brought his family here to seek opportunities. But even so, this is war after all, and the risks involved are self-evident.

"According to Master, in terms of advancing to the Nascent Soul stage alone, this Uncle Ye's foundation and aptitude are likely even above Master's. He belongs to the type who will achieve great things later in life and has unlimited potential. Currently, Lingmu Sect only has one Nascent Soul cultivator, Danqing Zhenren, struggling to keep it afloat. If any one of Master, Qian Jing, or Ye Shoutian can advance to the Nascent Soul stage, Lingmu Sect will be able to completely escape the crisis of annihilation."

And that's when.

A communication talisman fell from the sky and landed outside Li Mo's house.

He sensed something, reached out and used his spiritual light to absorb it. Seeing that it was from the military, he channeled some magical power into the transmission talisman in his hand.

"Li Mo, after verification by the military, Yao Chun Chun, a Class A bounty hunter on the Dark Night Bounty List and a true disciple of the Undying Mountain, has been successfully hunted down by you. Congratulations on becoming a Class A bounty hunter in the Contract Department. Please go to the quartermaster department immediately to change your identity token. You can exchange your military merits for the rewards you need through the military at any time, and you can also leave the military and go into seclusion at any time."

After a smile of excitement, Li Mo immediately got up and headed to the quartermaster department.

Three more days passed before I knew it.

Li Mo held the magic brush, focusing his energy and spirit on the tip of the brush.

As the spirit brush continued to move across the talisman paper, infusing it with his understanding of earth-attribute magic, his spiritual power became chaotic amidst the flowing strokes of the brush, and the half-finished talisman paper burst into flames with a hiss.

Li Mo frowned, quietly put down his spirit brush, and sighed.

"Failed again."

Of the five talismans he prepared, three have already been ruined.

This shows that his understanding of the Earth Dao was not enough to support him in refining such high-level talismans. It is likely that his recent improvement in his understanding of the Thunder Dao has given him the illusion that his talisman-making skills are sufficient to refine mid-to-high-level talismans of other attributes.

Fortunately, the gap is not large, and hope is just around the corner.

The most important thing to avoid during the talisman-making process is to maintain an unstable state of mind, so Li Mo meditated and regulated his breathing as usual.

As the spiritual energy of heaven and earth slowly converged from all directions, Li Mo gradually began to adjust his state of mind. Time passed little by little.

Li Mo, whose mind was already at peace, suddenly sensed something was amiss. He slowly opened his eyes, instinctively did some calculations with his fingers, and showed a hint of astonishment.

How could the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches be in such a disorder?

Immediately afterward, he heard the melodious bugle call from the military headquarters. He immediately got up and went outside the room, flying into the sky. He could vaguely see a large group of Golden Core cultivators and Foundation Establishment cultivators chasing and killing each other in a fierce battle above the narrow sky.

He then realized that today was the monthly battle time for Golden Core level cultivators.

During this period.

The formations of both sides' main camps will be greatly weakened.

Foundation Establishment cultivators and Golden Core cultivators play a crucial role on this vast battlefield, acting as a bridge between those in the early and later stages. They can exert some restraint on Nascent Soul cultivators and crush the Qi Refining army in terms of cultivation level.

With the Nascent Soul cultivators on both sides having roughly the same strength, the overall strength of these Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators will influence the final outcome.

A group of reinforcements had just arrived at the Qian Kingdom's camp a few days ago, so a major battle was inevitable.

"These headquarters cultivators formed a barrier that possesses such great power!"

Li Mo has truly broadened his horizons today.

The barrier formed by more than thirty Foundation Establishment cultivators actually trapped the natal magic weapon of the Golden Core cultivator from Lu Kingdom. The cultivator was frustrated but helpless, as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

However, compared to the very few battles between cultivators of different levels, most of the battles are between Golden Core cultivators of the same level chasing each other and between Foundation Establishment cultivators in direct combat.

The power of a Golden Core cultivator's magic weapon is truly earth-shattering.

Their speed is often instantaneous, covering a distance of over a hundred feet, with various spirit beasts appearing one after another.

The Foundation Establishment cultivators were noticeably weaker, but their numbers were incalculable. Flying above the camp, one could see at least tens of thousands of them roaming and fighting in this narrow strip of sky that stretched for dozens of miles.

Then he noticed a cloud above the camp, which was quite abrupt and quietly floating in the sky.

"Could it be that the Nascent Soul cultivators from the Qian Kingdom are watching the battle from up there?"

Behind these clouds, countless warships, one after another, with their banners fluttering, had already taken to the air. Further away, savage beasts roared restlessly. It seemed that a major battle could break out at any moment if the situation changed even slightly.

that's it.

The battle between the two sides lasted for a day and a night.

Only after the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches in the vicinity returned to normal and the power of the great formation was restored did they sound the retreat and send out a large number of cultivators to collect the corpses of the soldiers from both sides' headquarters and divisions.

The indiscriminate war that Li Mo was worried about ultimately did not take place.

It seems that neither the Golden Core cultivators nor the Foundation Establishment cultivators on either side have achieved a one-sided result.

A few hours later.

As a true disciple of the Lingmu Sect, upon learning that six Foundation Establishment cultivators from his sect had perished in yesterday's battle, Li Mo immediately donned white mourning clothes and went to pay his respects, expressing his deepest condolences and remembrance...

"Senior Brother Li Mo."

"Senior Brother Li Mo..."

Many Foundation Establishment cultivators whom Li Mo had never met before took the initiative to greet him, and Li Mo nodded in response with a heavy heart.

After returning to the room.

I don't know if it's because I had some insights from watching yesterday's game that my mindset has changed.

This time, Li Mo actually succeeded in refining the Earth-Shaking Talisman.

As the spirit brush, focused on Li Mo's essence and spirit, was lifted from the talisman paper, the paper, about seven inches long and three inches wide, automatically absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The dense symbolic patterns on it also became vivid and lifelike, as if the impact of collapsing mountains and rivers was rushing towards him.

Slightly tired, Li Mo extended his right index and middle fingers and used his spiritual light to capture the talisman.

After observing carefully with his spiritual eye, he revealed a satisfied smile.

"It's finally done."

Thinking of the hardships he had endured these past few days in refining this talisman, Li Mo immediately forgot his previous idea of ​​earning spirit stones by refining the Earth-Shaking Talisman.

Now that he has seized numerous storage bags, he is incredibly wealthy and no longer values ​​this hard-earned money.

In high spirits, Li Mo put away the Earth-Shaking Talisman and then took out the bronze mirror to carefully examine his face.

After so many days of rest, the corrosion marks on my face have faded significantly, and it seems that I will be fully recovered in a few more days.

From this, it seems that Master Dai is truly miraculous in healing injuries and is worthy of trust.

dong dong.

"Please come in!"

It turned out that Wang Sai had come knocking on their door again.

He looked at Li Mo with a hint of worry in his eyes.

“Senior Brother Li, according to yesterday’s battle report, many disciples in our sect tried to find out about you when they encountered cultivators from the Lu Kingdom. It seems that your previous actions have thoroughly angered the Lu Kingdom, and many high-level bounty hunters are definitely paying attention to you. Now that you are a Class A bounty hunter, I think you should do the same as those people and retire as soon as possible to avoid bringing disaster upon yourself.”

Upon hearing this, Li Mo's expression turned serious.

He invited the other person into the room, and after a long talk, Li Mo finally got up, paced back and forth in the room, looked up at the sky outside the window, and sighed deeply.

"I see."

"Ugh."

Seeing Li Mo's reaction, Wang Sai opened her mouth, then sighed and took her leave.

He knew he had probably come for nothing; this Senior Brother Li wouldn't leave because of this, and he didn't know what secret mission Senior Brother Li had that made him risk such danger.

Judging from his injuries, although he achieved remarkable results, there were bound to be some risks involved.

Now that he is in the open, countless disciples of the State of Lu want to hunt him down to gain fame, and the danger involved is incomparable to when he was in the shadows.

Wang Sai was naturally unaware of this, and this was the result that Li Mo was waiting for.
