At the same time, traveling through time, starting from subverting the war at the top

Chapter 170 Settling the Karma
The border of the Jiama Empire, in the desert city.

This was Lin Mo's third time here. He walked familiarly to the end of the street and, after a while, stopped in front of the antique map shop at the end of the street.

Lin Mo frowned slightly.

Because he did not detect the presence of Hai Bodong, Xiao Yixian, or Qing Lin here, and he could not find their presence in the entire Mo City.

There were other people inside the house.

Given the strength of Hai Bodong and his two companions, nothing should have happened in a place like Mocheng.

Lin Mo pushed open the door and went in.

It was the same familiar scene. A girl in red was carefully tidying up and cleaning the house, unaware that Lin Mo had entered.

Lin Mo recognized the girl in red at a glance; he had met her before when he came to Hai Bodong.

Where is the old man from the sea?

Hearing the sudden sound behind her, the girl in red was startled, but when she saw who it was, she immediately bowed respectfully to Lin Mo.

"senior!"

Unlike before, the girl in red no longer had any arrogance on her face.

"Master Hai left half a year ago due to some business. This is what he left behind before he left, saying that I must deliver it to you, senior." As she spoke, the girl in red took out a box from her bosom and respectfully handed it to Lin Mo.

Lin Mo glanced at the box and, through his senses, he could detect a special mark left by Hai Bodong inside. The box would automatically disappear once opened.

The moment the box was opened, the ice crystals at the lock inside shattered automatically, revealing a letter lying quietly in the center.

Lin Mo picked up the letter and glanced at it.

It turns out that Hai Bodong went back to the Mittel family in the capital ahead of time so that Xiao Yixian and Qinglin could develop better together.

After all, the desert city lacks resources, unlike the capital.

The Mittel family practically controls the auction houses of the entire Gama Empire. With the help of the Mittel family, they can provide Little Fairy Doctor and Qinglin with better cultivation conditions.

The main reason is that the two women's cultivation speed is simply too fast.

By the time they reached Haibodong, they could no longer afford to support him.

Over the years, Hai Bodong has spent almost all his wealth on breaking his own seal. He was not rich to begin with, so he had no other choice.

The letter also mentioned the identity of the girl in red.

Xiang Huayao, daughter of the city lord of Mocheng.

Ever since Hai Bodong went into seclusion here, the city lord of Mocheng has been trying to curry favor with him all these years, and even sent his daughter to work as a servant for Hai Bodong.

However, Hai Bodong had seen it all before, and he immediately saw through the schemes of the Mo City Lord.

I've never given her a kind look.

However, since he needed someone to deliver the message when leaving Mocheng, Hai Bodong thought of her.

The letter concluded by saying that if the girl in red had not opened the box beforehand, then she should hand over the scroll inside.

Lin Mo picked up the scroll from the box and handed it to the girl in red, saying with a smile, "This is a low-level Xuan-rank combat technique, a farewell gift from Elder Hai to you."

"Old Hai said he's a person who naturally loves freedom and doesn't really like teaching students. If you're willing, you can become his disciple."

The woman in red took the scroll with both hands, her eyes suddenly reddening, her pearly teeth biting her red lips, her expression showing some agitation.

Years of hard work have finally paid off.

“Since she is Elder Hai’s disciple, I, as an elder, cannot be stingy.” Lin Mo gently stroked the Youhai Storage Ring with his finger, and a scroll appeared. He flicked the scroll with his finger and shot it toward the woman in red.

The woman in red took the scroll, stunned.

"This is a low-level Xuan-rank cultivation technique, which perfectly matches your battle qi attribute." Happiness came too suddenly; a Xuan-rank cultivation technique is even more precious than a Xuan-rank battle skill!

With a low-level Xuan-rank cultivation technique and a low-level Xuan-rank combat skill, as long as you work hard enough, you can definitely reach the Dou Ling level in this lifetime.

Although her father also possessed a low-level Xuan-rank cultivation technique, it was incompatible with her personality, thus preventing her from cultivating it.

The woman in red bowed repeatedly to Lin Mo in gratitude, expressing her endless thanks.

Lin Mo waved his hand casually.

The girl in red immediately and carefully retreated.

Even after Hai Bodong left, this girl still came here every day to clean and tidy the shop, just to wait for Lin Mo to come.

Lin Mo's actions can be seen as a way of rewarding those who have shown their kindness.

After taking control of the entire Black Alliance's assets, Lin Mo possessed far too many low-level Xuan-rank cultivation techniques like this.

It’s a gift, so it’s a gift.

As the woman in red left, Lin Mo was left alone in the shop.

Now that we know where Little Fairy Doctor and the others are, there's no rush to get there.

To refine the Breaking Pill that breaks the seal within Hai Bodong's body, one more key ingredient is needed: Sand Mandala.

This medicine exists only within the holy city of the snake people.

Lin Mo planned to go directly to the holy city of the Snake People, and at the same time settle some karmic debts.

Not long after entering the desert, Lin Mo, who was in the air, discovered a fight.

Below, in the desert, a dozen mercenaries stood with their backs to the ground, weapons in hand. Surrounding them were dozens of strangely shaped creatures. These creatures had human heads and bodies, but their legs were replaced by enormous snake tails. The tails hissed as they swung, sending a chill down one's spine.

These guys are snake people.

Among the snake people, several lewd gazes kept sweeping over the slender waist and taut thighs of the only female mercenary.

"Kill them, leave the women!"

A snake-man, the leader, swept his triangular pupils over the woman, his voice cold, hoarse, and lewd.

Snakes are inherently lustful; they have an almost innate greed and craving for women.

Upon hearing their leader's order, the faces of the snake-men around them instantly turned bloodthirsty, their mouths slightly open, and their scarlet forked tongues extended.

The mercenaries were clearly far weaker than the snake people.

The group shielded the female mercenary behind them.

Looking down at the mercenaries surrounded by snake-men, Lin Mo suddenly recalled those scenes from the past.

It turns out that so much time has passed without me even realizing it.

Lin Mo flashed and appeared directly in the arena.

The sudden appearance of Lin Mo startled both sides slightly.

However, after a short while, the mercenaries gradually calmed down. Since the newcomer was human, they believed that he would at least not help the snake people.

The snake-men, however, were greatly angered by Lin Mo's uninvited guest. The leader of the snake-men, his triangular pupils coldly sweeping over Lin Mo, didn't waste any words. With a wave of his hand, two snake-men with strength around the Dou Shi level swung their tails and charged towards Lin Mo with fierce expressions.

However, the two snake-men were still halfway there when they suddenly burst into flames.

Before they could even scream, they were burned to ashes.
