Seeing Li Mo's worried face, Xian Yangzi chuckled.
"Ha-ha … little Mo!
You don't need to think too much about it.
With your talent, as long as you work hard, it's not impossible for you to surpass the Martial God! "
Li Mo smiled awkwardly, though he knew Xian Yangzi was only saying this to comfort him.
But no matter how much he thought about it, it wouldn't change anything.
His only way out was to follow Xian Yangzi's advice and ascend to the immortal realm as soon as possible.
Then he would have a showdown with the Martial God!
"Senior, I understand!
Don't worry, I won't let you down. I will bring your martial arts to greater heights.
In the future, I will annihilate all those wretched invaders and avenge the death of Third Elder and the innocent people of the continent! "
"Ha-ha … good!
I, Xian Yangzi, didn't misjudge you. So young and yet capable of such vengeance. You're no ordinary fish!
Alright, that's all I have to say. It's time for me to return.
If the Immortal Emperor decides to punish me, this old bag of bones won't be able to bear the consequences! "
"Senior, what's wrong?
Are you going to leave now?
Are you going to be under the control of others in the immortal realm? "
Li Mo was baffled by Xian Yangzi's words.
Ao Ying didn't say anything, but she was reluctant to see her old master leave.
"Ha-ha … child, the immortal realm has its rules. You'll find out soon enough.
If not for saving you, I don't even know when I'll be able to return to the mortal realm!
Sigh … it's getting late. Lass, stay with little Mo and one day you'll return to the dragon race.
Children, I'll be waiting for you in the immortal realm! "
Whoosh …
After saying that, a beam of white light shot down from the dark clouds and enveloped Xian Yangzi. Just like how he came, his figure began to rise slowly.
Li Mo and Ao Ying knelt and kowtowed to Xian Yangzi in the sky.
Only when Xian Yangzi was out of sight did Li Mo get up with Ao Ying's help.
Xian Yangzi's words were a blow to Li Mo's confidence, but it was also a spur on him.
It also made him realize that as long as he worked hard to cultivate and become stronger, he would have the strength to protect everyone around him.
At this moment, a huge wave appeared on the calm surface of the sea.
The Kun man appeared before Li Mo and Ao Ying again.
"By the order of the Exalted Immortal, from today onwards, I, Meng Kun, will be responsible for your safety!"
The man was a bit reluctant as he cupped his hands at Li Mo.
When Ao Ying saw it, the reddish-gold light on her body flourished and she wanted to attack it.
If not for Xian Yangzi, he and Li Mo would've died at its hands.
"Ao Ying, calm down!
We are no match for it. Moreover, it is now one of us.
We still have many uses for him in the future, so we can't fall out with him now! "
Li Mo sent a voice transmission to stop Ao Ying.
Ao Ying quelled her anger at Li Mo's words.
Meng Kun suppressed the anger in his heart but chose to remain silent because of Xian Yangzi.
"Meng Kun, we are now one of our own.
Let bygones be bygones. You can return to the sea and no longer need to follow us.
I will call for you when we are in danger. "
Li Mo's flat tone stunned Meng Kun.
As an invincible being in the Mysterious Continent, who would want to be a bodyguard to a kid who was miles behind them? Li Mo's words were exactly what he wanted.
"You said it yourself, I don't need to be your bodyguard.
If the Exalted Immortal blames me, you will be my witness! "
He threw a jade talisman to Li Mo.
"This is a communication talisman. If you are in danger, just send your spiritual qi in and I will know your location."
"Alright!
I'll be troubling you. "
Li Mo took the talisman with no trace of politeness.
He and Ao Ying watched as Meng Kun disappeared into the vast Star Ocean!
"Master, are you really going to swallow this?"
Ao Ying was still brooding over Meng Kun.
"Ha-ha … do you think I, Li Mo, am the kind of man who doesn't take revenge?
Don't worry. We may not be his match, but I have a million ways to torture him. "
Ao Ying couldn't help but chuckle at Li Mo's crafty look.
…
A few hours later, Wng Lei and Liu Xiong woke up.
But who knew what Xian Yangzi did to them. Their memories stopped at the sea looking for Li Mo, forgetting everything after that.
But Li Mo was shocked to find a shocking change in the two after they woke up.
Their blocked meridians were now unblocked and their power was on the verge of breaking through.
It seemed like this was the benefit that Xian Yangzi had mentioned to them.
At Li Mo's suggestion, they didn't return to Celestial Wolf Island but headed for the coast.
Li Mo's mission came to an end after so many trials and tribulations. He couldn't wait to get back to the Immortal Sun Sect as soon as possible!
"Brother Li Mo, look at that man floating on the sea."
Li Mo had just returned to his cabin to rest, to recover his exhausted spiritual qi and return to peak condition.
Then he heard Liu Xiong shouting outside.
Li Mo didn't mind it at first. Seeing a few corpses in the vast Star Ocean was nothing out of the ordinary.
Liu Xiong, who lived in the sea all year round, should be used to such things.
But as his voice grew more and more surprised, Li Mo got up to take a look. 'There must be something special about this corpse!'
Li Mo and Wang Lei followed Liu Xiong's finger.
The corpse that was bobbing up and down with the waves could no longer be described with the word 'human'. Its entire body was already covered in sticky liquid.
It was impossible to make out its original appearance.
But Li Mo felt a sense of familiarity. He recalled the time he fought Kun, when it opened its mouth to spit something.
Li Mo thought it was some kind of venom, but it turned out to be a man he devoured.
"Quick!
Brothers, hurry up and fish that person up! "
…
When Wang Lei and Liu Xiong got the man and cleaned him up, Li Mo finally got a good look at his face.
Although the viscous liquid had corroded his skin, his python robe and bald head were enough to make him out to be Nangong Yun.
Li Mo was certain this was Nangong Yun!
"I never thought that a dignified Martial Honor would end up like this. This Meng Kun has really done a good deed for me!"
At this moment, Nangong Yun, whose eyes were tightly shut, suddenly opened her eyes and coughed violently.
Cough … cough …
