The road is vague

Chapter 440 Shadow Cat
The three royal families of the wasteland each have a large number of dedicated ethereal priests.

They follow ancient traditions, continuously spreading the cultivation methods of the ethereal Daoist lineage, as well as related records about the Hundred Ethereal Races, to contend with the Temple of Ten Thousand Years of the Lost Continent.

Since his experience of being hunted down by the Temple of Ten Thousand Years, Li Mo no longer dared to underestimate these clergy.

The Spirit Fox City of the Tu Shan Clan is located atop Mount Qingqiu.

As the center of the nine major cities, the Tushan clan has always been the largest tribe among the Nine Fox Clan.

Li Mo arrived at the main hall of the Spirit Fox Ancestor in Spirit Fox City and handed over the jade bottle containing the Hundred Spirit Water.

"Li Mo, the Lord of Yanyang City, presents a bottle of Bailing Water!"

As Li Mo entered the main hall, which was shrouded in layers of rune restrictions, he suddenly sensed a sublime divine aura, which seemed to represent the origin of the spirit, the spiritual order that had merged with the golden tadpole script of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

More than ten fox queens were gathered in the main hall, including Queens Silver Eyes and Silver Bell from Silver Fox City, all of whom looked at Li Mo.

Li Mo looked at the aged and frail ancestor of the soul.

"Li Mo, envoy of the Great Qian Kingdom and lord of Yanyang City, pays respects to the Spirit Fox Ancestor!"

The aged fox woman on the high seat struggled to lift her eyelids and looked down at Li Mo.

"You've arrived. Is Your Majesty well?"

"Reporting to the Ancestor, the Holy Ruler is well. Before I departed, the Holy Ruler sent his sincere blessings, wishing the Great Qian Kingdom and the Nine Fox Clan a pleasant cooperation!"

"That's only natural, cough cough cough cough."

The Spirit Fox Ancestor suddenly started coughing violently.

The Spirit Queen of Linghu City stepped forward and said sadly to Li Mo, "Our ancestor is not in good health, but he has already expressed his full support for the cooperation with the Great Qian Kingdom. Lord City Lord, please return."

"it is good."

After taking one last look at the lofty Spirit Fox Ancestor, Li Mo bid him farewell and left the main hall.

The process, though simple, is essential.

If this Spirit Fox Ancestor were to pass away, it would surely cause a great upheaval among the Hundred Clans of the Misty Land, and it is unknown whether it would threaten Yan Yang City.

Lost in thought, Li Mo arrived at the Misty Temple again.

There are six red-robed priests in the Spirit Fox City.

The head high priestess, who is said to have served for less than a hundred years, is the most talented fox-woman priestess.

After waiting for a long time, Li Mo was finally able to meet him.

"The Way of the Misty Ones lies in having dreams in one's heart, and in creating miracles and realizing dreams through continuous hard work. Although Lord City Lord is not one of our Misty Ones, you have been blessed by the great Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit and have become the chosen one. This is truly something we envy. May I ask what brings Lord City Lord here today?"

The You family of Mihu City.

After thousands of years of development, the You clan of Mihu City has fallen to the bottom of the clans, and the entire tribe has not produced a queen for hundreds of years.

But it was precisely from such a small clan that a high priest of the ethereal realm was born.

"The chosen one?"

Li Mo was naturally unaware that the ethereal priest here had received divine revelation and fully supported him, hence his deep confusion.

"High Priest, I have made a discovery in Yan Yang City: some fox-men in the city seem to be colluding with the Nine-Tailed Organization. They have gifted me a statue that stands before the City Lord's Mansion. I fear this may cause misunderstanding at the temple, so I have come to report this."

Upon hearing this, the high priest remained silent for a moment.

"Your Excellency is a person blessed by the gods, so it is only natural that a statue be erected for you."

Hearing that the High Priest had said so, Li Mo immediately felt relieved.

Although he is not lacking in means to embed his personal order into the world, erecting a statue to attract popularity is an additional path and an additional option, which will be of great benefit to his future development.

After settling many matters with the Nine Fox Clan, Li Mo, being a human, did not linger in Spirit Fox City and immediately returned to Flame Sun City.

Next, he will devote himself entirely to the plan to deal with the Seventh Day Organization!
"Lord Commander!"

Upon learning of Li Mo's return, Wang Chao and Ma Gan immediately went to the city lord's mansion to pay their respects to Li Mo.

The two of them showed a hint of solemnity.

"What happened?"

Upon seeing this, Li Mo couldn't help but ask.

"Our organizational framework plan may have been leaked."

"Judging from the method of the theft, it was definitely done by the assassins who died on the seventh day after his death!"

The two men's words made Li Mo's expression harden.

He had no clue about the seven-day mourning period, yet the other party had already come knocking on his door. This showed that the branch of the seven-day mourning organization here was quite secretive, and it seemed that he was clearly at a disadvantage.

However, the old dragon had been operating here for ten years, while he had only just arrived, so it was only natural that he was in a passive position.

"Okay, I understand. The construction of the Road Guidance Division branch will continue. You need to make appropriate changes based on the original plan. Next, I will have Dai Mei'er assist you in carrying out confidentiality work."

"Yes."

After Wang Chao and Ma Gan left, Li Mo sent out a communication talisman, summoning Thousand-Faced King and Dai Mei'er.

"What are your orders, Commander?"

Both of them were considered Li Mo's confidants within the Road Passage Bureau, but they both preferred to be his henchmen.

"Hehe, as you two probably already know, Yanyang City will become the most important city in the empire in the future. The number of people coveting the position of city lord will only increase. This place has now become my base, so it is impossible for me to relinquish all the rights and interests here. Therefore, I plan to have you two stationed here long-term to ensure the Yantu tribe's rule. This will also allow you to have the protection of the Great Qian Kingdom while staying away from the troubles of human political strife, so that you can fly together in harmony. What do you two think?"

With the combined strength of the two demon kings, the growing power of the Flame Rabbit Clan, and the geographical advantage of Flame Sun City being backed by the Nine Fox Clan, Flame Sun City is generally secure enough to remain as stable as a mountain.

The Thousand-Faced King and Princess Dai exchanged a glance.

"Excellent!" "I will follow your instructions, Commander."

These two are not human, so they are best suited to guard this place.

As for needing help when he returns to Yuancheng in the future, if the Road Guidance Division cannot resolve the issue internally, he can consult with Lianyi, Shiren, and Xieya.

Qianqian, along with two elders from the clan, Xueyan and Kurong, also arrived.

Behind the three was a rabbit-man Flame Sheep Knight at the Foundation Establishment stage.

"Greetings, Lord City Lord."

"Everyone, get up."

Li Mo gestured to the three that there was no need for further formalities.

Elder Xueyan coughed softly and then stepped aside to let the Flame Sheep Knight behind him pass.

“Lord of the city, after my careful investigation, I can confirm that none of the rabbits of the Flame Rabbit Tribe have any connection with the Seventh Head Organization, and have never even heard of it. Only this Flame Sheep Knight overheard a Shadow Cat talking about the Seventh Head on the vast grassland.”

Shadow Cat?

The Shadow Cat Clan is one of the ten major clans of the Hundred Clans of the Misty Lands. Backed by the Peacock Clan, they are sworn enemies of the Nine Fox Clan.

As Li Mo's gaze fell upon the rabbit-man warrior, he hurriedly recounted in detail how he had heard about the First Seventh Organization and everything else he knew.

"Could it be that the old dragon actually established the Shadow Cat Division as a branch of the Seventh Day Organization here?"

Despite harboring some doubts, Li Mo smiled slightly on the surface, as if it were just a trivial matter, and looked at the three rabbit-people elders.

"You are all familiar with King Thousand Faces and Princess Dai. I have an important announcement to make. From today onwards, these two will be appointed as the deputy city lords of Yanyang City by the decree of the Spirit Fox Ancestor. When I am not around, these two will be the backers of your Yantu tribe, ensuring your absolute rule in Yanyang City."

"this!?"

"Thank you, Lord City Lord!"

"Greetings to the two deputy city lords..."

Qianqian, Xueyan, and Kurong were overjoyed. Although the Yantu tribe had developed very rapidly in recent years, it could not keep up with the development speed of Yanyang City. They were gradually finding it difficult to control the city.

Now that they have two King-level retainers, the Flame Rabbit Clan naturally has more confidence.

After Qianqian, Xueyan, and Kurong left, Li Mo looked at Princess Dai.

"Let's start by investigating the Shadow Cat in the city."

Princess Dai chuckled softly.

"it is good."

The cat tribes are numerous, numbering in the hundreds. Not all cat people are of one mind; many have allied themselves with the Minotaur or Nine-Fox tribes. If the Shadow Cats are truly up to something and are lurking in Flame Sun City, they will most likely disguise themselves as other cat people tribes.

However, as the Thousand-Faced Bird, Princess Dai is also a master of disguise. With her status as a king-level expert, once she has a target to investigate, it is only a matter of time before she catches them.

A few more days passed.

Princess Dai threw a shadow cat with its arms and legs broken in front of Li Mo.

It must be said that this shadow cat is incredibly beautiful. Even in her current miserable state, she still evokes pity. However, her shadow is struggling in various ways, and there is still danger if you get too close.

Li Mo looked down at the viewpoint and snorted coldly.

"Tell me, what is your position in the Seventh Day Reunion Organization?"

As the commander of the Road Guidance Division, Li Mo had some understanding of the basic organizational framework of the First Seven Days Organization. There was no commander position in the First Seven Days Organization, but there were so-called Shadow Elders, who were more like regional governors and managers in the organization, responsible for the organization and management of various branches. After that were the Gold Medal, Silver Medal, and Bronze Medal Assassins.

Legend has it that in the first seven days after his death, besides the veteran assassin, there were at least two other top-tier assassins, all of whom possessed the strength of the Nascent Soul stage.

"Truly worthy of being the elite trained on the seventh day after their death."

After a cold laugh, Li Mo electrocuted the catwoman to death right in front of the Thousand-Faced King and Princess Dai.

"this?"

The Thousand-Faced King was dumbfounded, while Princess Dai frowned.

"Are we just going to abandon the investigation after obtaining such a hard-won lead?"

"Hmph, the human race has plenty of ways to make them talk."

Say it.

Li Mo actually used the Ethereal Reincarnation Technique, which he hadn't used in a long time, transforming his body into a corpse puppet. Then, he directly used the Soul Searching Technique on his soul. Although it was not as good as a real soul search and was intermittent in many places, he still gained a lot.

Half an hour later.

The catwoman corpse puppet turned back into a corpse, and Li Mo's expression turned solemn.

"This is indeed a member of the First Seventh Organization, and a silver-ranked assassin. It can be basically confirmed that the First Seventh Organization has established a branch within the Shadow Cat Division. However, it is still impossible to confirm the extent of the cooperation between the Shadow Cat Division and the First Seventh Organization. Several days ago, she also stole the construction plan of the Yanyang City Road Guiding Division branch."

Li Mo paused for a moment at this point.

"In addition, through the Soul Searching Technique, we made an unexpected discovery: this Shadow Cat Chieftain was once the trainer of the Nine-Tailed Organization's Fox Man."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, the Thousand-Faced King and Princess Dai expressed their surprise.

Could it be that the First Seven Organization is entangled with the Nine-Tails Organization?
"I would trouble you two to make a trip to the Shadow Cat Tribe and see just how far the cooperation between the First Seven Days Organization and this tribe has gone."

"it is good!"

This was the time for the Thousand-Faced King and Princess Dai to shine, so naturally, neither of them would refuse.
