"I already know everything about you!"
"I wonder what senior's name is? Please enlighten me!"
"Ha-ha … it's been a long time since someone spoke to this old man!
It's been so long that I've forgotten my real name!
Just call me Xian Yangzi! "
"Xian Yangzi!" 'Why does this name sound so familiar?'
…
Li Mo was enlightened. 'Isn't this the senior who entered the Dao through martial arts my master mentioned?'
He bowed.
"Junior Li Mo greets senior Xian Yangzi!"
"En!
Dispense with the formalities! "
"Junior once heard my master mention you. He said you've become an immortal. May I ask why senior is here?"
"Oh!
After so many years, there's still someone who knows me!
I, Xian Yangzi, have come to this world in vain!
You're right. I ascended to the Immortal Realm a few thousand years ago. The me you see now is just a strand of my divine sense that I left in the Lower Realm. After a thousand years, I didn't expect that we would be fated. This is fate!
I have a request and I wonder if young friend will agree? "
"Senior is too kind. As long as junior can do it, I will do my best!"
"Good!
It's a bit hard for you, but if you help me, you'll benefit greatly! "
"Please speak, senior!"
"Back then, my main body had left a total of five Divine Senses in the Lower Realm. Each Divine Sense represented a martial technique. But after so many years, I only feel that one of the Divine Senses has disappeared!
That is, the Burning Sun Fist's divine sense. The other three are still hidden in the Ancient Continent!
I want you to help me find the other three, gather all five martial arts, and pass them down to the next generation. You can do it! "
"Senior, if you can sense the other divine wills, why don't you find them yourself?" Li Mo was puzzled.
"Sigh!
If I could leave, would I have waited here for a thousand years?
The laws of heaven and earth do not allow those from the upper world to roam the lower world as they please. Otherwise, the world would be in chaos!
Moreover, I can only sense their existence, not their location. I will need young friend's help to find them! "
"Alright!
Senior, I promise!
I will do my best to find them! "
"Yes!
Since you've already found me, and even learned the Burning Sun Fist, then my mission is considered complete!
Next, I will teach you the 'Azure Dragon Sword Art' that I represent! "
Not waiting for Li Mo to speak, a powerful spiritual power entered his mind. Similar to the Burning Sun Fist Art Liu Shizhong taught him, the Azure Dragon Sword Art's moves appeared in his mind!
However, it was not as painful as before!
Li Mo sat cross-legged, formed a seal, and closed his eyes, memorizing the moves one by one!
The next time Li Mo opened his eyes, he was on that familiar boulder!
"Was I dreaming just now?
But it's too real! "Li Mo rubbed his head.
"Remember what you promised me!
See you in the immortal world, young friend! "The hoarse voice faded from Li Mo's mind!
"Ah!
This was not a dream. Everything was real!
Senior!
Senior!
… "
No matter how Li Mo shouted!
The old voice never appeared again!
Li Mo checked his body!
He found his dantian's inner qi had turned from milky white to yellow!
His meridians were even wider!
"Did I break through?"
Recalling the indescribable pain, Li Mo's heart skipped a beat. He packed his things and rode to Fanyang County's city!
By the time he reached the city gates, the sky was already dark!
"Who goes there?!" The gates were shut tight and the armed soldiers on the walls shouted at Li Mo!
"What's the matter?
Why are the gates closed today? And the number of soldiers guarding the city has increased! "
A bad premonition filled his heart!
"I am the governor's elder's disciple. Little brother, please open the gates and let me in!"
Creak!
The heavy city gate opened from the inside, and a group of soldiers wielding shining ice blades rushed out of the city and vigilantly surveyed the surroundings. Liu Changhe walked out after them!
"Oh my!
Little Mo, you're back!
Where have you been for the past month? "
"What?
It's been so long! "Li Mo muttered.
"Uncle Liu, did something happen in the city?"
"This is not the place to talk. Come, let's go back!"
Li Mo followed Liu Changhe back to the residence. Liu Shixiao and Liu Shiquan were there, but his master Liu Shizhong was nowhere to be seen!
"Uncle Liu, where is my master?"
"Sigh!
Don't mention it!
A few days after you left, Yuqing Province, which is closest to us, launched an attack on our Yuhua Province! "
"What?
Doesn't the emperor care?
This is his territory. How can he tolerate civil strife? "
"Prince Gong Qing, the ruler of Yuqing Province, is the brother of the current Emperor!
Prince Gong Qing was extremely ambitious and had expanded his territory more than once!
He has powerful troops and experts under him. His power has long surpassed that of his brother, the emperor. The emperor is angry but doesn't dare to say anything. If he were to be angered, his throne would be in danger!
He has no choice but to run amok! "
"What a foolish emperor!
Why isn't he joining forces with the other three kings to suppress him? Does he want to wait until Prince Gong Qing is fully fledged before resisting? "
Li Mo was indignant at Liu Changhe's explanation.
…
"Two days ago, Prince Gong Qing's vanguard arrived at our Fanyang County. Great elder was injured in that battle!"
"What?
My master is injured!
Where is he? I'm going to see him! "
Li Mo was about to run!
Li Mo and his master hadn't known each other for long, but his master had imparted him everything he knew!
How could Li Mo forget such kindness? He understood the saying, 'a teacher for a day is a father for life'!
"Child, what's the rush?
Great elder is fine!
He just changed his medicine and is resting. If you want to see him, you can go tomorrow! "
Li Mo's heart eased a bit!
"Uncle Liu, what kind of person injured my master?"
Li Mo never saw Liu Shizhong in action, but as the number one of the Liu clan, how could he be weak?
"At that time, the Jade Clear Province's army was at the city gates. The Great Elder led the soldiers to defend the city with their lives. However, the enemy had too many experts. After the Great Elder repelled three Martial Masters and a Primary Martial General, a High Martial General appeared. In the entire Mysterious Continent, High Martial Generals are extremely rare existences!
In the end, Great Elder wasn't a match, defeated. However, the other side's casualties were also quite severe. After retreating, it wouldn't be long before they came back again!
But I've already reported the situation. Reinforcements should be here soon! "
"Uncle Liu, don't worry. I believe we will get through this!"
Li Mo didn't know how to comfort Liu Changhe. Fanyang County was his home now. Seeing Liu Changhe's worried face, Li Mo hated himself for not being able to help the Liu clan!
"En!
Little Mo, go get some rest!
We'll go see Great Elder tomorrow morning! "
"Alright, uncle Liu, I'll be going!"
But Li Mo didn't return to his room when he arrived at his master's courtyard. Instead, he waited outside Liu Shizhong's door!
"Master, don't worry. Your disciple will train hard and avenge you!" Li Mo swore in his heart.
Although he heard from Liu Changhe that his master was fine!
If it were a normal wound, his master's strength as a general could heal by meditating. But his master had been bedridden for days. His injury must be serious!
