One person: Lu family bodyguard, who shattered Longhu Mountain with a single palm strike.

Walking on the bluestone steps leading to the meeting place on the back mountain.

Bamboo groves swayed on both sides, and a gentle breeze dispelled some of the early autumn heat. Lu Jin walked at the front with his hands behind his back, clearly in a very good mood, his steps light and brisk.

Lu Linglong lagged a few steps behind, walking side by side with Lin Mo.

The more she thought about Wang Bing's disheveled and unfortunate appearance at the edge of the cliff, the more curious she became, like a cat scratching at her heart.

She subtly extended a slender, pale finger and tapped Lin Mo's arm, asking in a low voice, "Hey, tell me quickly, how exactly did you manage that?"

"That old bastard Wang Ai's divine ink lines are no ordinary technique. You were dozens of meters away, and there wasn't even the slightest fluctuation of your true qi. How did you manage to break them without anyone noticing?"

Lin Mo walked casually with his hands behind his head and a blade of grass he'd somehow picked up in his mouth.

Hearing Lu Linglong's question, he merely raised an eyebrow slightly, his tone casual: "Want to know? It's nothing really, just a little trick that can't be used in public."

"A little trick?" Lu Linglong paused, stopped in her tracks, and couldn't help but roll her eyes.

She stamped her foot and snorted, "Fine, fine, that's a little trick."

"If you don't want to talk about it, then don't. It's like nobody cares to know."

After saying that, she turned her head away, leaving Lin Mo with a pouty profile, clearly dissatisfied with the perfunctory answer.

Seeing Lu Linglong's coquettish little face, Lin Mo couldn't help but chuckle.

This young lady has quite a temper.

A mischievous thought suddenly popped into his head, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

Since you want to see it, I'll let you experience it firsthand.

In that instant, Lu Linglong suddenly felt as if the air around her had frozen.

Immediately afterwards, a gentle yet irresistible force, like an invisible push, quietly emerged from her back.

This force came too suddenly, and there was no trace of true Qi.

"Huh?" Lu Linglong exclaimed in surprise, losing her balance and falling forward uncontrollably.

And ahead of them was Lin Mo.

"Be careful, Boss Lu."

With a laugh, Lin Mo opened his arms and caught Lu Linglong as she fell.

Her soft, full body crashed directly into Lin Mo's arms.

The distance between them instantly disappeared, so close that they could hear each other's breathing clearly.

Lin Mo originally only wanted to use a little force to close the distance and scare her a bit.

Unexpectedly, this invisible force field was so easily manipulated that if I used even a little too much force, I would end up embracing it tightly.

He held her soft, fragrant body in his arms; even through the thin fabric, he could feel the warmth and amazing elasticity of her skin.

Lu Linglong's cheeks instantly flushed crimson, the blush spreading all the way to her ears.

Her mind went blank for a moment.

Given her usual personality, she would have either thrown a punch or quickly dodged in such an unexpected situation.

But for some inexplicable reason, instead of backing away, she instinctively wrapped her arms around Lin Mo's waist.

Lin Mo's embrace was broad and warm, with a comforting warmth.

Not only that, Lu Linglong also smelled a very pleasant scent.

It was a scent that blended sunshine with the fresh aroma of grass and trees, clean and pure, completely devoid of the pungent perfume or sweat smell found on other men.

For some reason, Lu Linglong felt somewhat intoxicated, and even unconsciously rubbed her cheek against Lin Mo's chest, secretly taking a few more breaths of his alluring scent.

Just as she was immersed in her own little thoughts and hadn't had time to take a few more breaths, she suddenly felt a push on her shoulder.

Lin Mo nimbly grabbed her shoulder and pushed her away from his embrace, creating distance between them.

Leaving that warm and refreshing embrace, Lu Linglong felt a sudden, inexplicable sense of loss, which quickly turned into intense displeasure.

What does this guy mean?!

She was a genuine young and beautiful girl who took the initiative to throw herself into his arms without even showing any disgust, yet he actually pushed her away?

You want to avoid them like the plague, right?

Am I poisonous?

Lu Linglong bit her red lips, stomping her feet in anger, her big, watery eyes filled with accusation as she looked at Lin Mo.

Lin Mo had no idea what was going on in this young lady's mind. He thought he had just scared her because he hadn't controlled his strength well.

He coughed lightly, patted off imaginary dust from his clothes, and said with a hint of apology, "I'm so sorry, Miss Lu. I haven't quite gotten used to this new technique yet, and I used a little too much force. Are you alright?"

Lu Linglong tidied her slightly messy hair, her pretty face stiff, and said expressionlessly, "I'm fine."

His tone was so cold and hard it could shatter ice.

Lin Mo was somewhat puzzled by Lu Linglong's cold demeanor.

Why are you actually angry?

It was just that she bumped into me by accident.

She didn't fall.

Women's minds are hard to fathom; they were fine just a moment ago, but their mood changes faster than turning the pages of a book.

However, Lin Mo didn't take it too seriously, assuming it was just a spoiled brat throwing a tantrum, and explained, "That was just a little gadget I've been tinkering with lately."

"It can generate something akin to a stance by subtly controlling the surrounding airflow and space."

"Standard?" Upon hearing this, Lu Linglong's displeasure was temporarily suppressed by her curiosity.

She blinked, then asked疑惑地问道, "Is it a force field similar to the 'Reversing Eight Directions' of the Machine Cloud Society?"

Lin Mo stroked his chin, carefully choosing his words: "They are somewhat similar in function, but fundamentally completely different."

"Anyone with a little experience can see the workings of the Qi circulating in their body as soon as they use the technique of 'reversing the eight directions'."

"But mine is different; it is completely hidden from view."

Lu Linglong carefully recalled the scene at the edge of the cliff, and the moment she was inexplicably pushed over there.

It really is so.

That power is formless and invisible, leaving no trace.

No wonder even his own great-grandfather, as well as Lu Ci and Wang Ai, the three elders who had spent their entire lives in the world of supernatural beings, couldn't figure out who was behind it.

It has to be said that Lin Mo's move was incredibly impressive!

Thinking of this, Lu Linglong's little temper had long since vanished.

She looked up at Lin Mo, her sweet and charming face full of surprise, and her eyes sparkling with an undisguised adoration.

"Lin Mo, you're amazing!" Lu Linglong exclaimed sincerely, her voice sweet and charming.

Looking into the girl's eyes, which seemed to be filled with stars, and seeing her adoring expression, Lin Mo's heart skipped a beat.

A slight smile played on his lips, and a strange feeling of attraction welled up inside him.

But just a fraction of a second later, Lin Mo took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed these romantic thoughts.

No!

We must never be corrupted by sugar-coated bullets!

This woman is his boss, the one who pays his salary.

Once you're in a relationship, how can you still ask for money when you're working overtime or providing emotional support?

Wouldn't that mean we'd be exploited for free labor?

Thinking of the potentially huge loss of appearance fees, Lin Mo instantly became calm, and even his eyes became clearer.

In fact, what Lin Mo just used on Wang Bing and Lu Linglong was not some random trick he had come up with on his own.

That was a truly top-tier martial arts manual.

A few days ago, Lin Mo checked in at the Lu Family Villa for a full month, and the system issued an extremely generous full attendance reward.

It is this supreme martial art from the Yin Kui Sect of the Demonic Path, which originated from the world of "Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty"—"The Heavenly Demon Great Art"!

This unique skill has a total of eighteen levels.

The moment Lin Mo received the reward, the system immediately maxed out his proficiency, automatically reaching the eighteenth level, the highest level.

The Heavenly Demon Technique is incredibly profound and possesses many incredible abilities.

The most bizarre and troublesome of them is the "Heavenly Demon Force Field".

Once unleashed, it can freely control and distort the surrounding space.

Whether living or dead, everything within this force field is subject to the caster's arbitrary manipulation.

Even more exaggeratedly, Lin Mo's body also contains over 180 years' worth of pure Nine Yang True Qi.

Such terrifying cultivation, combined with the max-level "Heavenly Demon Great Art".

Not to mention anything tens of meters away, Lin Mo can control anything within a radius of a hundred meters with perfect precision.

Just now at the cliff edge, he only mobilized a tiny bit of the Heavenly Demon Force Field to slightly tease the insolent Wang Bing.

No one could figure out what was going on, because the Heavenly Demon Force Field itself was formless and intangible, and did not involve the release of true Qi in the local supernatural beings' cognitive system.

Moreover, Lin Mo's realm is too high.

The eighteenth level of the Heavenly Demon Technique has already reached the point of returning to simplicity and authenticity.

It's a pipe dream for Lu Jin, Lü Ci, and Wang Ai, these three elders, to see through his methods.

Feeling the vast, ocean-like power within his body, Lin Mo touched his nose and muttered to himself.

My fighting ability seems to be getting more and more inhuman these days.

If they went all out, they could probably crush a whole bunch of people with a single finger at the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony.

However, Lin Mo didn't feel any loneliness at the top.

He's a realistic person, and his current goal is simple: to go to work diligently, save money to buy a luxury house, enjoy life, and incidentally find some fun within the bounds of the rules.

We can talk about other things when he gets tired of this nine-to-five life.

The two quickened their pace as they talked.

Lu Jin was fully aware of the two young men whispering and making small moves behind him, but he just smiled and stroked his beard without saying or caring.

Soon, they passed through a dense forest, and their view suddenly opened up.

We've finally arrived at the back of Longhu Mountain.

What appeared before them was an extremely vast flat area, surrounded by ancient trees reaching for the sky. It was clearly a venue specially opened up by the Celestial Master's Mansion for this grand event.

By this time, all sorts of strange people had gathered here.

Some were wearing Taoist robes, some were wearing suits, and others were dressed in unconventional styles.

Looking around, one sees a bustling crowd, with noise and conversation blending together in a lively atmosphere.

Preliminary estimates suggest that there are at least a thousand people with supernatural abilities present.

This only includes the younger generation who came to participate and watch. If you include the big shots from all sides, the scale of this Luo Tian Grand Ceremony is simply astonishing.

Lin Mo glanced at the crowd and nodded to himself; this was a huge potential customer base.

Just then, a clear shout came from not far away.

"Linglong, Lin Mo! Over here!"

The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the Lu Family Stunt Team members, who had arrived earlier, were gathered together in an open space on the outskirts of the crowd.

Bai Shixue, who has short hair, jumped up and waved vigorously at them, while Zhi Jinhua, who wears black-rimmed glasses and looks equally mature, also smiled and waved back at them.

"Let's go, everyone's waiting for us."

The coldness on Lu Linglong's face vanished instantly, replaced by her signature sweet smile, as she strode towards the Lu family's camp.

Lin Mo followed slowly behind, one hand in his pocket.
