Iron Abacus only knew Li Mo was a cultivator from Jade Flower Province. After leaving the Heavenly Capital, he released his high general's divine sense and followed the road to Jade Flower Province to look for clues.
However, after a day, he began to doubt his own judgment.
Because he didn't sense any of the Yu brothers' auras along the way.
Even if they were killed, they should've left behind some clues.
But the three seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth, leaving Iron Abacus fuming.
"Bastards, could it really be that these three people killed people and stole their treasures, and then left Tiandu City?
If I find you, I won't let you off lightly! "
Iron Abacus went through every possible scenario in his mind, but he still couldn't believe the Yu brothers died at the hands of a mere martial master like Li Mo.
At this moment, his face was incomparably gloomy. If this matter were to spread out, his reputation as the number one auction house in Sky Capital would no longer exist. Not only that, his reputation as a high ranking military general would also be tarnished.
…
Ever since Li Mo returned to the Lord Marquis' estate, he had two things on his mind.
One was the 50 million he owed Lu Xinyue, and the other was Iron Abacus's plot against him.
He flashed into Xuanyuan Mirror's space and saw the three Yu brothers sprawled on the square like dead dogs.
Huang Tianba wasn't in a much better state either. He seemed extremely weak under the confinement of the Xuanyuan Mirror.
The four were horrified to see Li Mo.
"You four should know each other!"
The four were Jade Flower Province's cultivators and were all in the general rank.
In the entire continent, generals were few and far between. They must've heard of each other.
It was just as Li Mo thought. Huang Tianba didn't know their names, but he was on good terms with their master, Iron Abacus.
He also saw them at Iron Abacus' auction, but didn't know how Li Mo managed to capture them.
Because his power was limited in Xuanyuan Mirror and his body was weak, he didn't ask about it.
"Li Mo, give me a quick death if you have the guts!"
Huang Tianhu would rather die than stay here a minute longer. "
For the great Prince Gong Qing's best general to be tormented by Li Mo was a great humiliation to him!
"Huang Tianba, I think you should just give up. When your army invaded my Fanyang County, did you ever think that you would end up like this?
Just stay here obediently and atone for the innocent people of Fanyang County who died under your iron hooves! "
Li Mo didn't want to waste time with him.
The Telepathic Finger directly knocked him out, and the control of strength was just perfect!
The Yu brothers knew of Huang Tianba's fame as well as Li Mo's. He was the champion of the martial arts competition. Everyone in Heavenly Capital, or even the entire Jade Clear Province, knew of him. But they had never seen Li Mo in person.
Never in their wildest dreams would they have thought this young man was Li Mo. They were already cursing Iron Abacus's eighteen generations of ancestors.
"Young brother Li Mo, I will tell you everything you want to know!
It's not our intention to trouble you. We're just trying to make a living! "
"Does Iron Abacus have any other businesses other than the auction house?"
The three were startled, not knowing why Li Mo asked such a question.
But they fought to answer, hoping Li Mo would let them off the hook.
"Our master … oh, I mean, Iron Abacus has a few shops in Heavenly Capital other than the auction house."
"Humph!
Looks like this Iron Abacus's family background is really rich! "
He turned and left, no longer paying attention to the Yu brothers.
Li Mo didn't care for people who would do anything for money. If not for their usefulness, he would've killed them a long time ago!
Back in his room, Li Mo began to plan his revenge.
Since Iron Abacus didn't know what was good for him, Li Mo wasn't a pushover.
Even if Iron Abacus had money and power in Heavenly Capital, Li Mo wasn't about to let him go.
Late at night, Li Mo left Taiping Village without telling anyone.
This time, he didn't ride a horse, but ran at full speed towards Heavenly Capital.
According to his calculations, his speed was ten times faster than a horse's.
"Oh!
What's this brat going to do in such a hurry? "
Xuanyuan Wudi was puzzled as he watched Li Mo leave.
A few hours later, Li Mo appeared at the Celestial Capital's gates.
"He-he!
Iron Abacus, weren't you looking for me?
I, Li Mo, am here! "
…
The disappearance of the Yu brothers left Iron Abacus on tenterhooks. The sun was about to rise and he still hadn't rested.
"Yu Ji, go rest. There's no need to keep me company!"
"Master, don't worry too much.
You should rest early! "
"Iron Abacus, I heard you were looking for me?"
A familiar voice suddenly rang out, causing Iron Abacus and Yu Ji to jump in fright.
"It's you?"
Iron Abacus turned to the source of the voice, 'Isn't this the youth who bought the iridescent robe?'
'One can wear out iron shoes in fruitless search, only to find it by chance.'
But when he saw Li Mo was alone, his suspicious nature kicked in and his divine sense spread out.
"Iron Abacus!
Don't bother looking, I came alone! "
"Alone?
Ha-ha-ha!
Are you kidding me? There's no way you can escape my divine sense's detection with your strength.
Why don't you call your helper out?
I don't want to be known as a bully! "
"Iron Abacus, if it were anyone else, I might have believed it.
But for someone like you who goes back on your word and wants to take back what you've sold, I'm afraid reputation is worthless in your eyes! "
"Y-you bastard.
What did you do to the Yu brothers? "
What he didn't want to happen still happened.
When Iron Abacus heard this, he didn't need to think to know that his men must have failed. Moreover, they must have exposed him as the mastermind.
"They're fine. You can meet them in a bit. Don't be in such a hurry."
"What do you want?"
Iron Abacus calmed down.
Since he could defeat three generals, this youth must have a master protecting him.
Or else he wouldn't be so fearless.
But his divine sense didn't find anyone else.
"Are you questioning me?
Or are you trying to negotiate with me? "
"Cut the crap. It doesn't matter if you have someone protecting you or not. Don't even think of leaving the auction house.
If you know what's good for you, hand over the 'Rainbow Cloud Robe'!
"I don't have it with me. If you want it, you can come with me!"
"F * ck!
Bastard, how dare you trick me! "
"You old fart, I'm playing with you. What can you do about it?"
Boom!
With that said, Li Mo no longer suppressed his power. A tyrannical aura surged from his body.
"Ah!" Yu Ji was knocked unconscious by Li Mo's aura.
Iron Abacus didn't fare any better, taking three steps back before stopping!
"Y-you're a high general!"
Iron Abacus was shocked. He didn't expect this youth to be on the same level as him, and from the aura he released, he was even stronger.
He went through all the high ranking military generals he knew of on the continent, but there was no such person as this young man in front of him!
"Who the hell are you?"
"Li Mo!"
These two simple words immediately enlightened Iron Abacus.
He didn't go to the martial arts tournament, but he was familiar with this name that shook the entire Heavenly Capital. Not only did he win, but even the Ye clan father and son fell at his hands!
Moreover, it was said that King Gong Xian also admired him very much.
He hated himself to the core. How could he have offended this fiend when he was blinded by greed!
"Ha-ha, so you're Li Mo!
You're not to blame. If you didn't tell me, I wouldn't have known you were Marquis. Forgive me for my offense! "
Li Mo was stunned by Iron Abacus' sudden change in attitude. 'Who knew I was this famous?'
"Old geezer, didn't you want my Rainbow Robe?"
Li Mo didn't give him any face.
"Sir Marquis, the Rainbow Robe was a misunderstanding. Don't bring it up again.
If you don't mind, I still have a couple of precious items in the auction house. Take whatever you like! "
How could Li Mo not see through such an obvious show of goodwill?
'Don't slap a smiling face.'
Seeing how tactful Iron Abacus was, Li Mo was no longer so overbearing.
"Forget about those one or two treasures of yours. I don't need them!"
