Immortality: Starting with Plundering the Talents of Monsters

Xu Mo casually flicked the blood of the Treasure Pavilion manager that stained the Gengjin Cold Iron Sword, which blended with the red glow of the sunset.

"Fortunately, the cultivator sent by the manager of Treasure Pavilion earlier drew away the attention of the two late-stage Qi Refining cultivators sent by the Zhou family of Liuyun to guard Liuyun Market."

"I was too lazy to dispose of the Treasure Pavilion manager's body. Leaving it here would only give those two late-stage Qi Refining cultivators sent by the Liuyun Zhou family to guard the Liuyun Market room to make their move."

Xu Mo glanced indifferently at the corpse and head lying on the ground out of the corner of his eye, and then cast a cleansing spell on himself.

Large drops of clear water flowed onto Xu Mo's white robe, but did not get it wet.

This is the most basic technique in this cultivation world, and it is extremely practical.

"Alright, let's go back to the Luo family's territory."

With a loosening of his grip on the Gengjin Cold Iron Sword, Xu Mo steadily stepped onto the sword and flew out of the sky above Liuyun Market.

……

……

As Xu Mo flew towards his destination, his ever-present divine sense suddenly issued a warning.

A powerful, yet sinister and twisted aura emanated from it.

"Wait, there's a familiar aura, but... it's extremely faint!"

Under Xu Mo's careful scanning with his divine sense, he also discovered a faint but extremely powerful aura.

The aura emanated from the ground and felt strangely familiar to him.

"This aura belongs to... Luo Lingyue!"

Xu Mo's mind went on high alert, his eyes darting around as he searched for any potential enemies.

"Calm down, stay calm. First, find the potential enemies and kill them. Then we'll go down to Luo Lingyue."

Otherwise, I'll only put myself in danger!

Xu Moqiang suppressed his anger and forced himself to calm down, his eyes gleaming like a hawk's.

Strangely, no enemy appeared in Xu Mo's consciousness.

"The cultivator who injured Luo Lingyue most likely possesses concealment techniques; my divine sense couldn't detect them!"

"We can't let this drag on any longer. Luo Lingyue's aura is slowly weakening, and that cultivator is probably hesitant to show himself because he's wary of my cultivation level."

"Judging from this cold, evil, and twisted aura, the cultivator who injured Luo Lingyue is very likely an evil cultivator!"

Evil cultivators are different from those who undergo tribulation; they are purely parasites in the cultivation world.

Although both evil cultivators and tribulation cultivators can harm people's lives, tribulation cultivators have their own purposes.

Those who rob and kill people do so for money and magical treasures.

Unorthodox practitioners, on the other hand, do so purely out of interest, disregarding the consequences and acting without reason.

Some evil practitioners simply act on their own whims; some take pleasure in killing, while others take pleasure in torturing.

In short, the evil cultivators in the cultivation world are utterly wicked and a group of psychologically twisted and evil people who commit all sorts of evil deeds.

While secretly wary, Xu Mo manipulated the Gengjin Cold Iron Sword to slowly descend, landing beside Luo Lingyue who was lying on the ground.

He lowered his head and looked at Luo Lingyue's condition.

All I saw was...

Luo Lingyue had already fallen into a pool of blood, with drops of dark red blood flowing out of her body like snakes.

Based on the initial examination, Luo Lingyue's injuries are so severe that they could very well be life-threatening.

"Anyone who could injure Luo Lingyue like this must be no ordinary person."

"Since that evil cultivator won't come out, I'll just take Luo Lingyue away directly. Otherwise, if we delay any longer, Luo Lingyue's life will be in danger!"

Seeing how badly Luo Lingyue was injured, Xu Mo knew he couldn't delay any longer.

He now only regrets that he shouldn't have let Luo Lingyue leave first, since Xu Mo was more than capable of dealing with the manager of Zhenbaolou anyway.

It won't harm Luo Lingyue.

Moreover, with Xu Mo's cultivation and strength, he is capable of deterring evil cultivators.

That would be enough to make evil practitioners suffer the consequences.

They are fully capable of protecting Luo Lingyue.

"Unfortunately, I do not know any medical techniques and am unable to provide timely treatment for Luo Lingyue."

Xu Mo gently shook his head, not daring to delay any longer. He grabbed Luo Lingyue and prepared to fly back to the Luo family's territory.

Suddenly, Xu Mo felt a tight grip on his hand. He looked down and saw that it was Luo Lingyue: she had gripped his hand tightly without him noticing.

"Xu Mo...you've arrived."

Be careful, that evil cultivator is very cunning; he conceals his aura very well, and his strength is quite formidable.

Luo Lingyue's face was as pale as paper. She managed to squeeze out a few words from her throat to remind Xu Mo.

"However, compared to your strength, that evil cultivator is still no match."

If you can find him, or if he shows himself, he probably won't last a single blow from your sword.

Xu Mo flew on his sword, suspending himself and Luo Lingyue in the air, preparing to return to the Luo family's territory.

While listening quietly to Luo Lingyue, he secretly remained wary of the evil cultivator.

Suddenly, a dark red spell appeared out of thin air and struck Xu Mo directly.

Facing the incoming spells, Xu Mo was not afraid at all, and with a thought, he understood.

The chilling, icy sword intent of the Meridian Sword condensed into tangible sword threads in the air.

It crashed head-on into the dark red spell.

The next moment, the dark red spell vanished with a bang, and the cold, icy Meridian Sword Intent shot towards the direction from which the dark red spell had come.

"Haha, I knew it! You're a tough nut to crack!"

An old man with a sinister face and dark eyes emerged from one spot, laughing loudly.

"I've heard that there have been frequent raiders in Liuyun Market recently. I was thinking of killing a few raiders for fun and turning them into Yin puppets."

Unexpectedly, as soon as I released my cultivation aura, or as soon as I got close to those Tribulation cultivators, they immediately fled.

It's too slippery, I can't stay still at all.

The sinister old man chuckled coldly and pointed at Xu Mo with his finger.

"I see you as a promising talent, with excellent strength and cultivation. I really want to refine you into a Yin Puppet!"

"Even your appearance is quite fine, what a pity... what a pity!"

The sinister old cultivator's gaze was fixed on Xu Mo, openly scrutinizing him from head to toe, seemingly very satisfied with Xu Mo's physique.

"It's a pity, you are too strong, I can't defeat you."

"I've been waiting for this day when Liuyun Market is neglected in its management and defense, but I never expected to underestimate your strength."

Xu Mo stared coldly at the sinister and evil old cultivator in front of him.

I learned from the sinister old cultivator that he had been keeping an eye on Xu Mo for a long time.

They wanted to kill Xu Mo and turn him into a Yin puppet, but after lying in ambush for a long time, they did not see Xu Mo.

Instead, I saw Luo Lingyue.

Therefore, he made a sudden move, injuring Luo Lingyue and luring Xu Mo over.

The sinister old cultivator's true target was Xu Mo!

"It seems that this sinister old cultivator is extremely good at hiding; he's been watching me for so long and I haven't noticed him at all."
