I'm modifying myself into the ultimate demon.

Chapter 181 Outbreak: The Greatest Evil in Southern Continent!

Chapter 181 Outbreak: The Greatest Evil in Southern Continent!
Seeing Hong Yue kneeling obediently on the ground, motionless, Li Huabai was quite surprised. He couldn't help but think to himself: This Hong Yue is quite skilled, even more so than Juan'er. She's actually been completely subdued by Chen Mo. The power of this flower curse is truly miraculous. It can not only erode the opponent's flesh and blood but also affect their spirit.

However, Li Huabai still spoke up, "Young master, this person cultivates the techniques of Cihang Hui'an, which are known for their calming and tranquilizing effects. Would you like me to modify his memories?"

Upon hearing that his memories were to be altered, Hong Yue, who was kneeling on the ground, was filled with terror.

She knew this was a method of invoking power, a cruel way to change a person's nature. Once implanted with non-existent memories, a person would live in an illusion, believing it to be real.

That's a method even more cruel than murder.

Hong Yue wanted to beg for mercy, but she was under Chen Mo's spell and couldn't bring herself to say such a thing. She could only look at Chen Mo with a pitiful expression, hoping that he wouldn't alter her memories.

Chen Mo thought for a moment and shook his head in refusal: "Hong Yue is Master Hui Yuan's beloved disciple. The two have been together for many years, and Master Hui Yuan must be familiar with Hong Yue's every move. If his memories are altered, Hong Yue's behavior and habits will easily change. If this arouses Master Hui Yuan's suspicion, it will only cause more trouble."

After a moment's thought, Li Huabai said, "Young Master is indeed very thoughtful."

Chen Mo nodded and waved to Hong Yue: "Go ahead."

"Yes!"

Hong Yue nodded, then stood up, tidied her clothes and makeup, and healed her injuries before leaving.

Chen Mo and Li Huabai followed at a distance, gradually making their way to Dazexiang as the night fell.

It was late at night, and the fishermen from Daze Township who had gone out to fish had all returned home. The fishing boats of each household were moored at the dock, and the surroundings were deserted with hardly anyone in sight.

Li Huabai didn't know who "Sister Su" Chen Mo was talking about, so he asked curiously, "May I ask, young master, who is this Sister Su?"

Chen Mo said, "I have a friend who is highly skilled in Taoism. If he comes this time, capturing Abbess Huiyuan will not be a problem. However, we must be careful with the abbess's red veil. We must not let her communicate with Mother Rakshasa. Otherwise, attracting Mother Rakshasa will cause endless harm."

Seeing that Chen Mo did not explicitly state Su Jie's background, Li Huabai knew she shouldn't ask further. However, seeing Chen Mo's confidence, she felt reassured and said, "Young Master's plan is thorough. As long as we suppress that Abbess Huiyuan once, there shouldn't be any major problems. I just don't know if Abbess Huiyuan has been wearing a red veil the whole time. If she has, it will be difficult to find an opportunity to strike."

Chen Mo said, "We need to find an opportunity for her to remove the red veil. Let's go and take a look around that house first."

Before long, the two followed Hong Yue to the outside of a secluded house in town, where they saw Hong Yue enter the house.

To avoid alerting the culprits, the two men stood in a grove of trees across the street from the house. Using the trees for cover, they observed the house's every move from a distance.

The walls of the houses were very high, obscuring the view inside. There was no sound for a long time.

Li Huabai said softly, "Young Master, are we waiting here for Sister Su to arrive?"

Chen Mo nodded: "Okay. We'll consider how to proceed once she arrives."

If it were just a seventh-tier Transcendent Realm expert, Chen Mo was confident that with his current combat strength, he could easily defeat the opponent. However, this Abbess Huiyuan was wearing a red veil. Wearing the red veil would grant her the protection of Mother Rakshasa and allow her to communicate with Mother Rakshasa at any time.

Then we need to be more careful.

Given that the Rakshasa Mother could oversee the entire Southern Continent, she must be an extremely terrifying evil god.

We absolutely cannot be careless at all.

With this in mind, Chen Mo lit the blood incense.

……

Meanwhile, Juan'er returned to Feilai Mountain as quickly as possible and headed straight for the Green Wolf Gang.

Upon entering the Hundred Herbs Garden, Juan'er ran towards the central courtyard.

Wan'er was washing clothes and hanging some bedding to dry in the courtyard. Seeing Juan'er return, Wan'er asked, "Juan'er, why are you back? Where are the young master and the others?"

After spending so much time together, Juan'er, this withdrawn girl, had become familiar with Wan'er and liked her very much. This was because Wan'er usually took good care of Juan'er, occasionally buying her new clothes and such.

Juan'er smiled and said, "Sister Wan'er, the young master is still busy outside. By the way, has Sister Su woken up yet?"

Wan'er shook her head: "She's sleeping inside."

"understood."

Juan'er responded and then went into the living room.

The bedroom is to the left of the living room.

The bedroom door was closed.

A red candle flame could be faintly seen flickering inside.

Juan'er went to knock on the door.

dong dong dong.

"Sister Su."

No response was heard.

Juan'er continued to knock on the door, this time with greater force, making an even louder noise.

Still no response.

Juan'er always regarded the tasks Chen Mo assigned her as her top priority, so she pushed the door open forcefully.

Squeak.

The door opened.

The room was dimly lit, and Su Yuqing, dressed in a bright red Xiuhe dress, lay quietly on the bed, her hands folded over her lower abdomen. Her hairpins were still in place. A red candle burned on the bedside table beside her.

The red candle was placed inside a glass dome the size of an adult's fist, its flame flickering and emitting a red glow. This glow shone on Su Yuqing, making her, who was already dressed in red, appear even more crimson.

Juan'er was a little scared, so she went up and called out twice. When she didn't see Su Yuqing wake up, she became more curious: Why is Sister Su sleeping so soundly?
"Sister Su, Sister Su... Young Master wants to see you."

Juan'er stepped forward, grabbed Su Yuqing's wrist, and shook it a few times, but still did not hear Su Yuqing wake up.

Juan'er is no longer the ignorant ghost puppet she once was. After traveling all over the country with Chen Mo and experiencing so many things, her intelligence is no different from that of a normal person.

"Something's not right. How can someone sleep so soundly? Even though you've been so tired lately, you always wake up when I call you a few times. This doesn't seem like someone who's sleeping. It's more like a corpse?"

As Juan'er thought this, a sense of panic and fear crept into her heart.

However, he thought that Sister Su was someone Chen Mo trusted and had treated him well. So he mustered up his courage and called out a few more times, but it was still no use.

Juan'er was still thinking about the young master's instructions and was afraid of delaying his important business, so she climbed onto the bed and reached out to lift Su Yuqing's eyelids.

Once, when Chen Mo was fast asleep, Juan'er liked to play pranks and secretly lift up the young master's eyelids.

Although she was reprimanded by the young master, Juan'er knew that this tactic would be effective.

Just as Juan'er leaned close to Su Yuqing's head, intending to lift Su Yuqing's eyelids, she was shocked to find that she had blocked the light of the candle, causing Su Yuqing's head to be plunged into darkness.

suddenly--

brush!
Su Yuqing, who was fast asleep, suddenly opened her eyes; they were a pair of black eyes.

Even his eyeballs and the whites of his eyes were black. A sudden, extremely fierce and violent aura emanated from him. Juan'er was so frightened that she instinctively jumped off the bed and retreated far away, shrinking into a corner of the room, trembling.

Even so, Juan'er still opened her eyes and looked at Sister Su.

As the light of the red candle shone back on Su Yuqing, her dark eyes gradually returned to normal. The extremely terrifying and violent aura emanating from Su Yuqing also dissipated.

Slowly, Su Yuqing, dressed in a red Xiuhe dress, sat up. Seeing Juan'er huddled in the corner of the room trembling, she got out of bed and gently stroked Juan'er's head: "Juan'er, what's wrong?"

Juan'er's mood improved considerably, but she was still somewhat frightened. She said timidly, "Just now, my sister suddenly opened her black eyes, and a violent and fierce aura surged from her body. Juan'er was very scared."

Su Yuqing reached out and picked up Juan'er, saying gently, "I had a nightmare just now, so I couldn't control my anger. Juan'er, don't be afraid."

Hearing this, Juan'er finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, I see. It seems Juan'er came at the wrong time."

Su Yuqing gently stroked Juan'er's head, saying affectionately, "We're all family, don't be so formal. By the way, what brings you here?"

Juan'er recounted in detail what Chen Mo had told her.

Upon hearing this, Su Yuqing frowned: "The Cihang Hui Nunnery under the banner of the Rakshasa Shrine..."

Without saying a word, Su Yuqing took the glass ball from the bedside table and hid it under her skin. Then she said, "Young Master is always cautious and purposeful. Since you've called me, you must need me. Juan'er, lead the way, I'll go with you."

"Hmm."

Juan'er pushed open the door and went out.

Su Yuqing followed behind.

As Wan'er passed by the courtyard, she saw Su Yuqing leaving and wondered: Why does Sister Su like to wear red so much? It's quite frightening to go out dressed like that in the middle of the night.

Meanwhile, Su Yuqing followed Juan'er out of the Green Wolf Gang and asked Juan'er many details about what had happened before.

Juan'er told the truth, and finally said, "I know about your cultivation level, young master. Although that nun Huiyuan is a seventh-level Transcendent Realm cultivator, you may not be afraid of her. I wonder why you wanted to go to Sister Su."

Su Yuqing understood perfectly: "Young Master cultivates three methods simultaneously, and also possesses the unpredictable Flower Incantation, so naturally he is not afraid of that Abbess Huiyuan. However, Young Master is not here to kill that abbess."

Juan'er tilted her head, curious: "What are your plans, young master?"

Su Yuqing said, "That nun's life talisman is in the hands of the abbot of Cihang Hui'an. If the nun is killed, the abbot will find out. At that time, Cihang Hui'an will definitely send a large number of people to Nanyang Prefecture to avenge the nun. In that case, Nanyang Prefecture will be in danger. The Green Wolf Gang will also be in danger, including your family, young master."

The young master's plan was to capture that nun. But that nun wore a mysterious red veil, which allowed her to communicate with the Rakshasa Mother. That's why she asked me for help.

Juan'er: "Oh? It's so complicated."

Su Yuqing patted Juan'er's head: "Slowly, you'll come to understand the complexities of human nature. Killing someone is no skill. The real skill is protecting yourself and your loved ones. Let's go."

"Ah."

Neither of them were ordinary people, so they walked very fast. Before long, Juan'er followed the scent of blood and arrived at the woods opposite the houses in Daze Township.

When Li Huabai met Su Yuqing, he felt that this woman possessed a noble and extraordinary temperament. At first glance, he could not discern the depth of her cultivation, but she exuded a great sense of threat, making Li Huabai feel uneasy.

Logically speaking, Li Huabai was born in Nanzhou and controlled a large force called Black Mountain Tower, so he had seen countless talented people. Yet, he had rarely encountered such a terrifying existence.

What surprised Li Huabai even more was that this woman was extremely polite to Chen Mo and even gave a curtsy.

"My lord, I have arrived."

Chen Mo waved his hand: "Xiaoyu, don't stand on ceremony. I called you here..."

Before she could finish speaking, Su Yuqing added the second half of her sentence, "I know, it's to capture that Abbess Huiyuan alive, so as to prevent any trouble from happening."

Chen Mo nodded: "Let me introduce you. This is Li Huabai, the manager of the Black Mountain Tower in Nanzhou. Miss Huabai, this is my friend, Miss Su."

Li Huabai dared not be careless and cupped his hands in greeting: "Greetings, Miss Su."

Su Yuqing was not as respectful to Li Huabai as she was to Chen Mo, and simply nodded slightly: "Hello, Miss Huabai."

After exchanging pleasantries, Su Yuqing got straight to the point: "Juan'er told me everything on the way. The only thing we need to be careful about now is Huiyuan's red veil. We need to find an opportunity to make our move when she's not wearing it. We also need to go inside the house to see for ourselves before deciding on the timing."

Chen Mo said, "That Hui Yuan is a seventh-level Transcendent Realm expert, and he also has a seventh-level Black Shadow Ghost inside him. It might be unwise for us to rush in. Xiao Yu, do you have any ideas?"

Su Yuqing looked up at the house and said, "I know a way to use the power of induction to conceal your presence. You can turn into a shadow and sneak in. That nun Huiyuan won't be able to find you."

really……

Chen Mo knew he had found the right person.

Su Yuqing didn't say much. She raised her hand and touched the foreheads of the three people. Then the four of them turned into black shadows and walked towards the house.

……

Daze Township.

Residential house.

Hongyue is back.

They saw that Abbess Huiyuan was wearing a red veil and muttering something incoherently in the room.

Hongyue didn't disturb them, but went to the yard to chop wood, start a fire, and cook.

Perhaps because she had something on her mind, Hongyue felt very uneasy and was listless in everything she did.

When cooking, Hongyue didn't want to pour the blood Chen Mo had given her into the pot.

She knew that this blood contained that terrible blood curse. If Abbess Huiyuan were to ingest it, she too would be afflicted by the blood curse. However, given Abbess Huiyuan's profound cultivation, whether she could resist the blood curse remained unknown.

However, Hongyue simply could not refuse Chen Mo's orders.

Each time she refused, the blood curse within her would erupt, making her wish she were dead.

During this time, she even had the thought of going to tell Abbess Huiyuan, but the blood curse started to take effect as soon as the thought arose.

It's really weird.

Finally, having no other choice, Hongyue spilled her blood into the food.

"Master, it's not that I'm heartless or ungrateful, but I was tricked. I had no choice. It's all that despicable Chen Mo's fault. If you must blame someone, blame Chen Mo. The grievance has its perpetrator, the debt has its debtor; don't blame me."

Hong Yue thought to herself.

Soon, a vegetarian meal was prepared.

Hongyue brought the vegetarian meal to the living room. Seeing that Abbess Huiyuan was still sitting behind the long table, her head covered by a red veil, muttering something in a daze, she did not disturb her. Instead, she waited quietly.

Hongyue knew that as long as Master Huiyuan wore the red veil, she could receive the protection of the Rakshasa Mother, communicate with her at any time, and also communicate with the abbess of Cihang Huian through the blessing of the red veil.

At this moment, it seems the nun is communicating with someone.

Hongyue dared not disturb her.

After a long while, Abbess Huiyuan finally stopped communicating and slowly lifted the red veil, revealing her wrinkled face.

Although the nun's face looked old, her complexion was very ruddy, giving her a somewhat rosy appearance.

"Master, the vegetarian meal is ready. Come and eat. I'll serve you some rice." Hongyue then spoke.

"Ah."

Master Huiyuan tucked the red veil into the inner pocket of her sleeve, then sat down at the dining table, took the white rice and began to eat, casually asking, "Have you and Shen Zishan made contact yet?"

Hongyue acted awkwardly and hesitantly.

She didn't want to lie, but the curse had a powerful control over her. Her mind was in turmoil.

Abbess Huiyuan glared at her: "Why are you being so coy today?"

Hong Yue finally succumbed to the power of the ghost curse and spoke up: "We've made contact. Everything went smoothly. There's nothing unusual about the Green Wolf Gang. It seems Chen Mo is already dead in the Great Yin Mountain."

Master Huiyuan wasn't surprised by these words: "I guessed so. More than half a month has passed. If Chen Mo were still alive, he should have returned long ago. Why hasn't the Green Wolf Gang held a funeral for Chen Mo?"

Hongyue didn't dare to reply, and just kept her head down eating.

Abbess Huiyuan said solemnly, "Even if Chen Mo is dead, he may have completed the human-dragon sacrifice. But we just can't go to that ancient tomb to check the situation."

Hong Yue lowered her head and said, "Master, let's leave this place tomorrow morning. Let's go back to Nanzhou. We'll just report the truth to Mother Rakshasa."

Master Huiyuan said, "To be on the safe side, I will personally go to the Green Wolf Gang tomorrow. I will find a few people to persuade them and ask them for clarification."

In fact, when Abbess Huiyuan first arrived here, she secretly visited the Green Wolf Gang. After reading the memories of several core members, she indeed found no trace of Chen Mo's return. She then settled in Dazexiang, leaving Hongyue and Shen Zishan to handle the matter on her behalf.

Now that I've decided to leave, I should go to the Green Wolf Gang one last time before I go and find out what's going on.

Little did she know that in just five short days, the Green Wolf Gang had undergone a complete transformation.

Hong Yue, head bowed, asked, "Master, who were you communicating with just now using the red veil?"

Abbess Huiyuan said, "I just spoke with the abbot and reported on the recent developments. The abbot said this matter is very serious and that I must investigate it thoroughly. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain it to Mother Rakshasa. Moreover, Mother Rakshasa has been acting strangely lately."

brush.

Hong Yue suddenly looked up: "Is Mother Rakshasa acting strangely?"

For Hong Yue, Rakshasa Mother was always a god-like being.

Hearing about Rakshasa Mother's strange behavior, she was extremely shocked.

Master Huiyuan didn't hide anything from her beloved disciple, saying, "Yes. The abbot said that recently, Mother Rakshasa has been frequently enraged. She seems very uneasy, as if something bad is about to happen."

Hong Yue said, "I've never heard of Rakshasa Mother being uneasy before. Rakshasa Mother is a high and mighty deity who oversees the thirty-six prefectures of Nanzhou. How could she be uneasy?"

Eh.

Abbess Huiyuan shook her head. "I don't know either. Let's eat first. I'll go to the Green Wolf Gang tomorrow. If I still haven't found anything, I'll go back to Nanzhou first."

"Ah."

After taking a couple of bites of her meal, Abbess Huiyuan put down her chopsticks and was about to get up when she suddenly realized something and turned around abruptly:

"Who?"

The living room was dimly lit by an oil lamp, quiet, and there was nothing particularly special about it.

Hong Yue was terrified, thinking to herself: Could it be that Chen Mo has turned into a shadow and run into the house? That would be suicidal. Abbess Huiyuan is highly skilled; she can surely kill him with her magic. If Chen Mo dies, her ghost curse will also disappear.

Thinking of this, Hong Yue felt very happy, with a hint of schadenfreude. She stood up insincerely and asked, "Master Huiyuan, is no one here?"

Abbess Huiyuan immediately went to the long table and lit the remaining two oil lamps.

Bright lights illuminated the entire living room, but still nothing was discovered.

Master Huiyuan breathed a sigh of relief: "I suppose it's because I've been worrying too much lately... You go and wash the dishes, I'll rest for a while."

suddenly--

"who!?"

Master Huiyuan roared again. The power of the seventh-level Transcendent Realm surged forth, all six senses were activated, and she warily scanned her surroundings. Yet, she still found nothing.

But the unease in my heart grew stronger and stronger.

brush!
Abbess Huiyuan immediately picked up the red veil and was about to put it on her head.

But then he discovered that his hands were no longer under his control.

Even the simple act of covering her head with a red veil was impossible.

It was as if an invisible, terrifying force was tightly binding his hands.

boom!
Master Huiyuan unleashed all her power in an attempt to cover the red veil.

Still can't do it.

At this moment, Abbess Huiyuan was completely flustered.

She knew something terrifying was coming.

Master Huiyuan immediately cried out, "Hongyue, something is pressing down on me. Quickly help me put the red veil back on."

No response was heard.

Master Huiyuan turned around and saw that Hongyue was also being suppressed by something.

Hong Yue was on the verge of tears: "Master, I... I can't exert any strength either."

Click click click.

Master Huiyuan was unable to move the red-veiled hand. Her arm seemed to have become a machine, and no matter how hard she tried, it was useless. Only the sound of bones cracking could be heard.

"What impressive skills! You managed to suppress me so silently. Now that you're here, please show yourself."

With a whoosh, four figures slowly emerged from the darkness ahead.

It was Chen Mo, Juan'er, Li Huabai, and Su Yuqing.

hiss!
The moment Abbess Huiyuan saw Chen Mo, she gasped in shock: "It's you, Chen Mo! You actually came out of the Great Yin Mountain alive!?"

The next moment, Abbess Huiyuan realized something and turned around sharply to look at Hongyue behind her, "You betrayed me!"

Faced with the fierce gaze of the nun, Hong Yue panicked and dared not meet the eyes of nun Huiyuan. "Nun, nun... I, I didn't mean it. I was cursed by Chen Mo, and I can't resist his will."

Abbess Huiyuan was overcome with anger and grief, probably never expecting her most trusted disciple to betray her. A wave of dizziness washed over her, and she screamed almost maniacally, "Fine, fine, you've all ganged up on me! I won't let you get away with this..."

brush.

Su Yuqing stepped up to Abbess Huiyuan, took the red veil from her hand, and handed it to Chen Mo: "Young master, please accept this red veil. Without this red veil, Abbess Huiyuan will be unable to cause any trouble."

Chen Mo accepted the red veil, surprised that things had gone so smoothly. He couldn't help but think to himself: Su Yuqing's cultivation is truly unfathomable. She suppressed a seventh-level Transcendent Realm expert so easily.

I remember Su Yuqing once said that she was a master of the Shadow Ghost realm.

In the end, the battles of this world are all about who has the best skills and knowledge.

"You, you dare take away the red veil! This is a sacred artifact bestowed by the Rakshasa Temple! You will offend Mother Rakshasa by doing this!" Master Huiyuan was shocked and furious when she saw the red veil being taken away.

Su Yuqing lived a hundred years ago; she wouldn't care about such things.
She walked straight up to Abbess Huiyuan, raised her hand and slapped her hard across the face: "You wretch, you tried to harm my young master."

Snapped!
The slap was powerful and heavy, causing half of Master Huiyuan's face to swell up. She saw stars... She had never suffered such an injustice in her life.

"You, you dare to slap me in the face!"

Snapped!
Another hard slap landed on Abbess Huiyuan's face. The other half of her face swelled up too.

The burning sensation left Abbess Huiyuan completely stunned, and tears welled up in her eyes. Her eyes, blazing with fury, stared intently at Su Yuqing. She wanted to resist, but her limbs wouldn't obey her commands.

The woman in red in front of me is truly terrifying.

It was even more terrifying than the intimidation he felt from his own master.

next moment.

Su Yuqing tossed Master Huiyuan to Chen Mo's feet as if she were a chick, saying, "Young Master, you can decide what to do with her."

Chen Mo: "..."

Li Huabai: "..."

Actually, Chen Mo was alright, since he had already had some expectations about Su Yuqing's cultivation level.

Li Huabai, standing to the side, was dumbfounded, thinking to himself: "This helper that Young Master Mo invited is really too abnormal. Even the seventh-level Transcendent Realm Master Huiyuan is no different from an ant in front of this woman."

"it is good."

Chen Mo walked up to Abbess Huiyuan, raised his hand, pressed down on Huiyuan's head, and slammed it hard onto the ground.

bump!
With a loud crash, a large section of the ground collapsed, and the entire living room shook violently.

Once the first blow is delivered, the second will follow.

Boom boom boom!
Chen Mo grabbed Abbess Huiyuan and rushed out of the living room, slamming her body to the ground repeatedly like a sledgehammer.

Smoke and dust billowed, and soil and rocks sank.

How could Abbess Huiyuan bear such humiliation?
"What are you doing!?"

"Bastard!"

“It’s one thing for that woman to bully this humble nun, but you, Chen Mo, actually dare to… This humble nun will fight you to the death.”

boom!
Suddenly, a dark shadow burst out from Master Huiyuan's body, soaring three meters into the air and transforming into a thick black smoke. From within the smoke came the howling of evil spirits, followed by the appearance of a huge, blood-red maw that viciously bit down on Chen Mo.

"Jie Jie Jie~"

Chen Mo let out a chilling laugh and threw Master Huiyuan aside. "What I've been waiting for is this evil spirit inside you."

boom!
The next moment, an extremely terrifying power suddenly erupted from Chen Mo's body. The power of the six-stick, six-patterned corpse demon instantly surged to its peak, and he slammed a punch hard towards that blood-red maw.

This punch stirred up a storm, and the evil spirits roared.

The two suddenly clashed. The ground cracked instantly, and a fierce wind howled. Even with Chen Mo's ferocity, he was forced back several steps by the blast from the gaping maw. Each step left a cracked footprint in the ground.

"Interesting. This is the strength of the Seven Shadow Demons. Perfect for warming me up."

Xiaoyu, capture Huiyuan. I'll capture this evil spirit once I've done so.

Chen Mo gave a brief instruction, then his eyes turned blood red, his fangs protruded, and his fingernails grew much longer. His body charged towards the gaping maw like a whirlwind.

Boom boom boom!
The human and the ghost engaged in a frenzied battle in the courtyard, causing terrifying shockwaves to surge in all directions.

If Chen Mo were merely a six-stick shadow ghost, he truly wouldn't be able to defeat this fiend. But Chen Mo is also a six-striped black zombie, and zombies are capable of annihilating ghosts of the same level. Naturally, he is different from others.

After several rounds, the two sides were evenly matched.

Just then——

Chen Mo spread his hands apart, and the power of transcendence on his body transformed into streams of water, swirling around the gaping maw and pressing down fiercely on the opponent.

A thousand rivers flow back!

Boom!

The gaping maw was already struggling, and now, being suddenly attacked by the Thousand Waters Returning, it let out a shrill scream.

what?
Li Huabai stared in disbelief, his heart pounding: Only a few days have passed? Young Master Mo has already mastered the sixth level of the Thousand Waters Technique, Thousand Waters Reversal… I've practiced for over ten years and haven't even reached this level. Is this… even human?

However, something even more terrifying was yet to come.

Li Huabai clearly saw that after Chen Mo used Thousand Waters Return, he used the sixth level of the Backing Mountain Technique again: Towering Cliff!
hiss!
Li Huabai gasped, feeling as if he had fallen into an ice cellar: It was one thing for Young Master Mo to have mastered the final level of the Thousand Waters Technique, but he had even mastered the final level of the Mountain Backing Technique. It was simply too outrageous.

This boy...

Li Huabai stared wide-eyed as she watched the monstrous demon with its gaping maw initially gain a slight advantage, but later... it was completely overwhelmed by Chen Mo.

About fifteen minutes later... the monstrous demon with its gaping maw was killed by Chen Mosheng.

puff!

It spat out a mouthful of blood from its gaping maw, then lay limply on the ground.

It revealed its true form.

It's a skull.

call!
Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief and slowly walked up to the skull, thinking to himself: Seven Shadow Ghosts... are nothing special.

Open the panel.

[Original Solution Essence +80000]

[Currently available original solution essence: 180000]

[Hint: This evil spirit is a skull, quite powerful, and possesses its own summoning power.]

[A deconstructable object detected?]

[Should we deconstruct it?]

Although this ghost is not as powerful as the serpent demon that Xiao Ye killed in the dream, it is very suitable for Chen Mo now.

Chen Mo had an idea: deconstruction.

hum!
A sharp pain shot through my head, and lines of subtitles appeared before my eyes.

Name: Blood Skull

[Category: Bloodline-type ghost, possessing its own primary bloodline and capable of generating secondary blood.]

[Function: Bloodline connection, immense strength.]

Upon seeing this, Chen Mo thought to himself: Is this what you call immense strength? It still doesn't feel as effective as a zombie.

Composing himself, Chen Mo continued reading.

[Note: This blood skeleton possesses the power of summoning; activating its bloodline will unleash this power.]

[Ingredients: The corpse of a powerful ghost, with its head remaining.]

[Consuming 60000 original essences can modify one's innate fragrance to achieve compatibility with the skull.]

[Should we make changes?]

Chen Mo was taken aback: Modifying the Transcendent Realm requires 100,000 Original Essence, but modifying the Natal Incense is cheaper?

Without much thought, Chen Mo immediately decided to make changes.

boom!
Pain swept through his entire body, followed by the sensation of a scalpel entering the incense burner and his natal incense within his sea of consciousness, making alterations to them. The alteration wasn't to his physical body, but rather to his spiritual sea of consciousness.

My body doesn't hurt, but I feel terrible mentally.

Chen Mo gritted his teeth and persevered.

After a long while, the pain slowly subsided.

[Modification successful. You can now fully absorb this blood skeleton. You will gain its cultivation level and summoning power.]

[Note: The power of this bloody hole may have a certain impact on your mind, potentially causing mild mental confusion.]

Overall assessment: The situation is generally under control.

Seeing the final overall evaluation, Chen Mo felt pleased.

When the "golden finger" says "overall controllable," it basically means "completely controllable."

Thinking of this, Chen Mo slowly squatted down and placed his hand on the skull.

wow~
The skull spontaneously shattered, turning into a wisp of invisible essence that flowed into Chen Mo's body.

Immediately afterward, Chen Mo felt a violent tremor in his body. The essence flowed into his body and entered the natal incense burner in his sea of consciousness. It slowly merged with the six sticks of his natal incense.

It greatly enhanced the fragrance of its six fundamental life essences.

suddenly--

Click!

It was as if something had broken.

The seventh stick of natal incense sprouted a tiny head.

Chen Mo was overjoyed: Had I broken through to the seventh level of cultivation? This was an unexpected surprise. It seemed that this Blood Hole was meant to be mine.

'I've already broken through to the seventh level of the seventh incense stick? Didn't Li Huabai say... there's a huge dividing line between the sixth and seventh levels? What's going on with me?'

Not only that, but a seventh stiff mark spontaneously appeared in the seventh stick of natal incense.

This surprised Chen Mo.

Logically speaking, breaking through the Shadow Ghost is easier than breaking through the Zombie.

Unexpectedly, just as he broke through to the seventh level of cultivation, the seventh stiff mark also grew out within his natal incense.

Faced with this extraordinary increase in cultivation that defied common sense, Chen Mo felt somewhat uneasy.

But the seventh stiff mark really did appear.

Chen Mo was stunned for a long time before finally having to give up.

Oh well, breaking through to the seventh level of the seven-pointed star is still a good thing.

True virtue is priceless; there's no such thing as too much.

call!
Chen Mo let out a long sigh and sat down cross-legged on the spot.

After circulating the Seven Patterns and Seven Sticks of Corpse Demon Cultivation, he immediately felt a tremendous improvement in his physique and spirit. The previous drowsy and listless feeling had disappeared by about 70-80%. He even exuded unprecedented power when he raised his hand.

Muscles and bones are strong and vigorous, and tendons and bones resonate in harmony.

After a while, Chen Mo became somewhat familiar with the new realm before slowly stopping.

'With my current strength, if I were to face that Abbess Huiyuan again, I'm afraid I could take her down in three or five punches.'

He stood up, withdrawing his cultivation. His eyes, nails, and fangs all disappeared, and he returned to normal.

Turning around, she saw Li Huabai staring at her in shock. Su Yuqing, on the other hand, remained calm.

Li Huabai stepped forward and asked, "Young master... have you broken through to the seventh level of cultivation?"

Chen Mo nodded: "Mm."

Li Huabai: "Congratulations, young master, your cultivation has improved once again."

She offered her congratulations, but inwardly she was terrified. Previously, her collaboration with Chen Mo, though she had humbled herself, had been somewhat forced into it. But now, looking at this Young Master Mo, she felt a deep-seated fear.

Seven sticks of Daoist cultivation!

Looking at the entire Southern Prefecture, it can be considered a remarkable existence.

He's only sixteen years old...

Su Yuqing carried the vomiting-blood nun Huiyuan over: "Young master, are you feeling unwell?"

"No," Chen Mo said. "Thank you for your help, Xiaoyu. Let's go back to the Green Wolf Gang. By the way, Juan'er, go to the Flying Mountain Riverbank and capture Shen Zishan and bring him to the Hundred Herbs Garden."

"Ah."

Juan'er immediately slipped out.

Shen Zishan's memories were altered by Li Huabai first, and then Chen Mo planted a blood curse on him. Chen Mo had long ago instructed Shen Zishan to return to the riverbank at Feilai Mountain and wait. Juan'er only needed to make one trip to bring Shen Zishan back.

……

The group took Abbess Huiyuan back to the Hundred Herbs Garden.

It was already past midnight.

Li Huabai was exhausted after a night of hard work, so he went to rest in the room in the front yard.

Chen Mo and Su Yuqing carried Abbess Huiyuan to the central courtyard.

Bang!
Su Yuqing simply left Abbess Huiyuan in the living room and even thoughtfully poured tea for Chen Mo, asking, "Young Master, what do you intend to do with Abbess Huiyuan?"

Chen Mo sat in the chair, took out the red veil to examine it, and found nothing different. "I will have to trouble Xiaoyu to read Huiyuan's memories."

Chen Mo already possessed the power of the Blood Hole, but he wasn't very skilled at using it. Furthermore, although Abbess Huiyuan no longer had the ghost within her, she was still a seventh-level Transcendent Realm expert. Therefore, Chen Mo didn't intend to try it himself.

After all, using the power of summoning is inherently dangerous, as it implies a connection between the memories of both parties. If their cultivation levels are similar, it can easily backfire. Most summoning is used against lower-level beings.

It would be safer to let Su Yuqing take the lead.

"it is good."

Su Yuqing raised her hand and pressed it against Master Huiyuan's head, beginning to read her memories.

At this moment, Juan'er returned carrying Shen Zishan.

Chen Mo had Juan'er take Shen Zishan to the backyard, and then followed her... which resulted in Shen Zishan's death. He also absorbed 60000 units of original essence.

In this way, Chen Mo would have 18 remaining original essences.

"Juan'er, dispose of Shen Zishan's body."

After instructing Juan'er, Chen Mo returned to the main house in the courtyard. Seeing that Su Yuqing had stopped, he asked, "How was it? Does she have any information related to Mother Rakshasa in her memory?"

Su Yuqing's expression was solemn as she shook her head: "She has no memory."

Chen Mo was taken aback: "No memory?"

How can a person have no memory?

Su Yuqing said, "Or rather, her memories are not in her mind."

"Can a person's memories not be stored in their brain?" Chen Mo leaned closer to Master Huiyuan to examine her. He noticed that Master Huiyuan's skin was red, even the top of her head was red. She had a somewhat red-faced Guan Yu-like appearance.

But the person is normal.

Chen Mo kicked Abbess Huiyuan twice: "Where's your memory?"

puff!

Master Huiyuan was lying on the ground, coughing up blood, and was extremely weak. Ever since Chen Mo killed the ghost inside her, her health had been deteriorating, and she was now unable to speak.

Su Yuqing said, "Perhaps she was injured by the young master first, and then the ghost inside her was killed. Her injuries are too severe right now. Let her rest for one night, and we'll know the answer when she recovers tomorrow."

Chen Mo had no choice but to agree: "That's the only way. I'll have Juan'er watch over her for a while. I'll go to the side room to practice my skills. Xiao Yu is tired tonight, so she should rest early. However, to be on the safe side, we still need to cripple her cultivation."

Click!

Chen Mo stomped down, severing the opponent's bloodline power, before stopping.

……

The night is deep.

Su Yuqing returned to her bedroom to sleep, while Chen Mo secluded himself in the side room, working on his summoning power.

An oil lamp was lit in the living room.

Juan'er sat by the long table making shadow puppets, while Abbess Huiyuan lay on the ground, barely alive.

"Serves you right for plotting against our young master! Humph!"

Juan'er glared at Abbess Huiyuan and continued to work on the shadow puppets.

I don't know how much time passed, but the night grew deeper and deeper.

Juan'er suddenly felt a chill.

yawn.
