"Where am I?"
Li Mo looked around in shock at his strange surroundings.
He wasn't wearing a single piece of clothing. The only thing he had on him was the Cane of Origin.
Li Mo tried waving the Cane of Origin but it didn't react.
Li Mo took a deep breath and checked his body's condition. His heart sank.
There wasn't a single strand of qi in his body. He was no different from an ordinary person.
'What's going on? Where's my spiritual qi?'
Li Mo threw a punch and it almost broke a fist-sized uncle …
'This power … is pitifully small!'
Li Mo blushed with shame. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry at his own misfortune!
"Forget it!
It's a blessing, not a curse! "Li Mo finally got over it and looked at his surroundings!
This was an open space surrounded by mountains. The ground was covered with emerald green grass, and many unknown wildflowers were fighting for their fragrance. Next to the grassland was a dense forest that extended into the distance!
From time to time, the cries of insects and birds could be heard, adding a bit of vitality to the already lush valley!
"Ah!
Save me! "
An ear-piercing scream broke the tranquility of the valley. The birds in the forest scattered in fright!
Li Mo cursed inwardly, 'Damn it!'
He hid behind a tree and looked for the source of the sound.
A young girl in a light green dress hurriedly ran in his direction!
She looked back from time to time with a panicked expression.
"Ha-ha … girly, I advise you not to run!
Won't it be wonderful if you come back with me and become my wife? "
Behind her was a big, bearded man with a bare upper body and a long saber in his hand!
He was in hot pursuit!
"What era is this? There are still people using a cold weapon like a long saber!
Are they filming? "Li Mo looked at the two's get-up and muttered to himself!
Plop!
The girl ran past the tree Li Mo was hiding behind when she tripped and fell to the ground!
She struggled to sit up and held her ankle!
His eyes were filled with despair as he looked at the burly man who was approaching from afar!
"Why don't you run!
Damn it!
You're pretty good at running. I'm so tired!
I'll let you have a good time later! "
When the burly man saw the young girl fall, he also stopped in his tracks. He panted heavily and kept cursing as he approached the young girl step by step!
"Haha … this chick looks pretty good!
We've really profited this time! "
The burly man looked at the young girl sitting on the ground. He stabbed the long sword in his hand into the ground, rubbed his hands, and was about to pounce on her!
Bang!
With a muffled sound, the burly man did not even have time to make a sound before he fell to the ground. Fresh blood flowed out from the back of his head, dying the surrounding grass red!
It would be difficult for him to survive!
"Ah!" Seeing the blood on the ground, the young girl screamed and fainted!
"F * ck!
Isn't that a little too harsh? "
Li Mo was stark naked, holding the bloodstained Staff of Origin as he frantically stripped the man of his clothes!
Then, he dragged the burly man's corpse to the side and covered it with grass!
With everything done, Li Mo tidied himself up. The loose clothes didn't fit him, but it was better than being naked!
"Miss!
Miss!
Wake up! "
Li Mo propped the fainted young girl against a tree, calling her over and over again to wake her up.
Li Mo was in desperate need of someone to find out where he was!
"Cough!
Cough … "After a light cough, the young girl slowly opened her eyes!
She looked around!
Then her gaze fell on Li Mo!
"Ah!" With a scream, the young girl's neck tilted and she fainted again!
"Am I that scary?
Wake up! "
Li Mo patted the young girl's cheek!
But there was no reaction!
In the end, he had no choice but to take the wine jug from the burly man's waist and pour it all over the young girl's head!
"Cough!
Cough!
Don't hurt me, I beg you! "The young girl woke up again and wiped the wine on her face as she begged Li Mo.
The wine washed away the dirt on the girl's face and Li Mo finally saw her exquisite face. On that oval face, a pair of big eyes gazed at him with despair. She had a high nose bridge and a small mouth that was slightly agape from fear!
The wine on her wet hair slid down her pretty face, giving her a different kind of allure!
"F * ck, when did I get here and you're still in the mood?" Cursing, Li Mo retracted his thoughts.
"Look carefully!
I wasn't the one who chased you!
I saved you! "
The young girl calmed down a bit and took a good look at Li Mo. He really wasn't the thief!
"Thank you, benefactor!
How should I address benefactor so I can repay you in the future! "
"Um … miss, I don't need you to repay me. Seeing injustice on the road is only natural. Can you tell me where I am?
I come from a very, very far away place and am not familiar with this place. I hope you can tell me! "Li Mo's eyes were full of hope for an answer!
"Benefactor …"
"Stop!
I am Li Mo. Don't call me benefactor, benefactor!
I'm not used to it! "
Li Mo's words tickled the young girl. Pfft!
She laughed lightly!
"L- Li Mo, I am Liu Yan. This is the Ancient Continent!
You must have come from another continent, right? "
"Ancient Continent?
What kind of world is this? "
…
Li Mo learned from the young girl that the Ancient Continent was as vast as Earth. It was divided into four states and sixteen counties!
Each state was ruled by the four kings of the royal family. And Li Mo was in one of the four states, Yuhua State, Fanyang County!
The entire Ancient Continent was a place where the martial dao reigned supreme. Almost everyone practiced martial arts. The ranks were divided into martial artist, warrior, master, general, martial spirit, martial sovereign, and the legendary Honored Martial Ancestor!
"Then are you a martial artist?"
"N-no … I am just a maid of Fanyang County's governor's daughter!
How could I be qualified to practice martial arts? "She averted her gaze, not daring to meet Li Mo's eyes.
"It seems this girl is hiding something!
If you don't know martial arts, how could you know so much? "
Li Mo didn't press. Who wouldn't be on guard the first time they met?
"Then how did you get chased by that man?
Who are they? "Li Mo asked again.
"Early this morning, I went with the young miss to a temple in the mountains to offer incense. On our way back, we ran into these thieves and the servants started fighting them!
The scene was chaotic and the young miss and I were separated. That's how I escaped!
"Li Mo!
Can you do me another favor? "Liu Yan's eyes were devoid of fear. Instead, she looked expectantly at Li Mo.
"What is it?"
"Can you take me to our young miss?
If something happens to her, how will I explain it to the master and madam? "
Her big eyes welled up with tears!
"Alright!
Alright!
Don't cry, I will take you there! "
