Raising one's level in the ancient battleground was important, but it couldn't be done in one go. It required time. Once they reached the 9th stage, Li Mo sent them into seclusion for a month. But still, none of them broke through.
Li Mo knew this well, so he gave them a break. He had done all he could, and the rest were up to them.
Feng City, Li Mo's house.
The Yang girl sat in a rocking chair, reading a book. She was very quiet. She could do nothing but read all day.
Mite Snow and Mili Snow were diligently cleaning the house until it was spick and span. The siblings ran to the yard and used Li Mo's cultivation method to regulate their breathing.
Before following Li Mo, Mite Snow and Mili Snow practiced martial arts. But even after so many years, they didn't make any progress. What was rare was their perseverance, persevering for decades on end.
An Yuxin came to the door, and Mite Snow and Millie Snow immediately ran up to her, "Hello, Miss An."
"You don't have to be so polite every time."
"I'm used to it." Mite Snow rubbed his hands, eyeing An Yuxin's shoes.
"I wiped them on my way here. I really don't need it. Is Li Mo here?
Not here?
Oh, good. Go do what you need to do. I came to get something and will be on my way. "
An Yuxin quickly walked in.
An Yuxin came every week, but lately, she rarely saw Li Mo at home.
The Yang girl nodded to An Yuxin. An Yuxin smiled and entered Li Mo's study.
Li Mo's study was a mess. Li Mo specifically told Xue Bi not to clean it. Every time he came back, he would practice talisman arts. Sometimes, he would leave before he was done. So the things in the study couldn't be touched.
"You and I don't belong to the same world, do we?"
An Yuxin caressed the pendant Li Mo gave her.
Originally, An Yuxin thought that this was just an ordinary little gift, until yesterday, when she was crossing the road and a large truck that had gone out of control crashed into her. The amulet suddenly flashed fiercely and produced a shield of light, protecting her within it.
She was pinned under the truck, but because of the protection of the amulet, she was unharmed.
Li Mo was no ordinary man. An Yuxin had long since noticed.
"Although I'm not ugly, I'm nothing compared to that fairy outside.
Not to mention that fairy, even Millie Snow is a hundred times more beautiful than me, and she is just a servant, "An Yuxin said faintly, wiping away her tears.
Ten minutes later, An Yuxin left.
Two days later, Li Mo returned home to find a bunch of keys on the study table.
It was the key to the villa that An Yuxin had left behind.
Li Mo frowned.
"I still can't remember my name, but I've been reading a book recently and thought of a good name."
The Yang girl smiled at Li Mo.
"What's his name?"
"Yang Jinlian, how is it?"
"… As long as you're happy."
"That's right, I think it's a nice name." The woman surnamed Yang smiled.
"How long will you be staying this time?"
"I'll leave immediately."
The woman surnamed Yang nodded and picked up the book.
Li Mo flickered and disappeared from the living room.
"What martial art is that?
It feels so familiar. "The woman pondered for a few minutes, then shook her head and went back to her book.
Li Mo went to the capital for the Experts Alliance's meeting.
Elder Rosa disappeared without a trace. After many failed attempts, Chief Yao Changsheng decided to have the inspection team leader, Li Mo, take over Rosa's position until Elder Rosa returned.
Rosa was dead, with no chance of returning. But only Li Mo and Zheng Wufang knew of this. No one else had a clue.
Zheng Wufang was missing, his whereabouts unknown. But because he had no reputation in the Experts Alliance, his disappearance couldn't compare to Rosa's.
Less than a year after joining the Experts Alliance, Li Mo's speed shocked the entire Experts Alliance. But the one who was the most shocked was Lin Yourong, who was also an elder.
How many years had it been since Chief Yao Changsheng gave the order?
"Elder Lin, Lin Qingrou, stay. I have something to tell you."
With the meeting over, Li Mo had Lin Yourong and Lin Qingrou stay.
Only Li Mo, Lin Yourong, and Lin Qingrou were left in the meeting room.
"Elder Li, you are now an elder. I hope you won't take offense to my past offenses."
Lin Qingrou spoke first, thinking Li Mo was going to make trouble for her.
Li Mo said, "I have no interest in you. But there is one thing you must do, and that is hand over Void Walker."
"Elder Li, what do you mean by Void Walker?
I don't quite understand. "Lin Yourong smiled.
"Void Walker is a Void Beast's descendant and your Lin clan's greatest trump card. But she is no saint and must die!" Li Mo's face was filled with killing intent.
Void Walker Ao Feili was the descendant of one of the ten ancient sacred beasts, the Void Beast. Due to her unique talent, she didn't need to use a Gate to cross the Star Field to reach Earth.
Ao Feili was a despicable person who would sell her parents for her own gain. Three thousand years ago, when Void Walker Ao Feili was still an egg, she was adopted by a kind-hearted race on an ancient planet. But when she came of age, she sold out that kind-hearted race for a sixth level God Fruit, causing that ancient planet to fall into ruin.
Void Walker Ao Feili was a famed Planet Hunter. Because of her unique Star Field Traversal talent, she could go to any ancient planet she wished.
Despite the destruction of the 11 savage races' Gates, Li Mo felt uneasy as long as Void Walker Ao Feili wasn't dead.
Li Mo even felt that the reason why the universe's races came to Earth in a few short years was because of Void Walker Ao Feili.
Li Mo remembered clearly that the Nine-headed Race was nowhere to be seen when the universe's races came.
Lin Yourong's face didn't change, "Our Lin clan doesn't know this Walker you speak of."
Lin Qingrou nodded.
"You have one day to think. If you still don't answer, your Lin clan will cease to exist."
Bang!
Lin Yourong slapped the table in anger, "Li Mo, do you really think you can do whatever you want as an elder?
"Do you think just because you have Shenjing's Li clan and the capital's Mo clan as your backing, the Lin clan will be suppressed?
Don't be naïve. You can't afford to provoke our Lin clan!
"So you're saying you don't want to think about it?"
"No means no. If you dare to run amok, you will definitely regret it!"
"Let's go!"
