The return trip was a lot smoother. Li Mo was relieved to find Bi Qing's and his brother's corpses hadn't been disturbed at all.
However, when he arrived at the place where Feng Qingyang's body was buried, his expression turned extremely ugly.
The two-meter hole Li Mo dug was now exposed, but Feng Qingyang's corpse was nowhere to be seen.
From the marks on the side, it didn't look like it was dug by a demon beast, but by someone!
"Crap!
Could it be Liuli City's people? "
Li Mo was baffled.
When he was burying Feng Qingyang's body, he was already very careful. He really did not know how the person who dug up his body found out.
"Sigh!
Forget it, I'm already on bad terms with them.
If worst comes to worst, I'll just leave the guild. I just hope they don't bother the leader before I return! "
Li Mo quickened his pace.
He couldn't fall asleep the entire night as his brain kept running through all possible scenarios.
He was now a 22nd level assassin. If he was careful, he would be able to protect himself in the empire.
His only worry was that he would drag down the guild and Han Tianyu if he lost his cool.
Li Mo jumped off the tree as soon as the sky brightened, arriving at the rendezvous point before Zi Lingwei.
"Mentor Leng Yihan, I'm back!"
Li Mo saw Leng Yihan already waiting for them and bowed with utmost respect.
"En!"
Leng Yihan was as cold as ever, a man of few words.
Li Mo was used to his attitude and didn't say anything else. He just stood to the side and waited for Violet Spirit Wei.
…
"Humph!
You hoodlums better stop following me. My mentor is right in front of me.
If you keep following me, you'll be in for a treat! "
"Yo!
This chick is quite pretty, but her temper is also quite big, huh?
So what if your mentor is in front of you? Don't you know we're from Liuli City?
Even your mentors have to be polite to us when they see us, do you understand? "
"Yeah!
Yeah!
Why don't you play with us for a bit, chick? "
…
An hour later, Zi Lingwei's angry voice was heard, along with the arrogant voices of a few men.
"Eh?
Little Mo, go take a look! "
Even without Leng Yihan's reminder, Li Mo was ready to take a look.
When he followed the voice and arrived in front of Ziling Wei, his eyes flashed with a cold light as he looked at the young man who was entangled behind her.
Li Mo didn't need to ask to know they were Veluriyam City's trash just by looking at their clothes.
"Zi Lingwei, what's going on?"
"Not only did this group of people steal my Demonic Beast, they even harassed me from the side!"
When Zi Lingwei saw Li Mo, her usual cold expression was gone, replaced by a girl's soft side, surprising even Li Mo.
Li Mo sneered at the fact that the strongest among them was a 19th level Warlock.
"What?
You're scared to this extent by just a few trash. That's not the Ziling Wei I know! "
"Who said they scared me? If it weren't for my mentor's instructions, I would have …"
"Hey hey hey!
Where the hell did you come from? How dare you meddle in my business?
You actually dare to call me a bastard? I think you're tired of living, aren't you?
Brothers, teach this kid a lesson. I'll take responsibility for anything that happens! "
Before Zi Lingwei could finish, the young man behind her was furious at Li Mo's insults.
"Humph!
I am also from Leaffall City's guild. If you don't like it, feel free to try me! "
Li Mo had no such qualms. He already killed three of them anyway.
If the situation allowed it, he wouldn't mind killing a few more trash.
"You're a f * cking newbie!
Don't you know we are from Veluriyam City?
You must have a death wish to speak to us with such a tone. Today, I will teach you how to behave in place of your mentor! "
The young man pounced on Li Mo.
Bang …
With a crisp sound, the young man who rushed up fell to the ground, unconscious.
The one who did it wasn't Li Mo, but Leng Yihan.
At this moment, he used some kind of movement technique and suddenly appeared in the middle of the two camps.
"Enough!
You bunch of arrogant bastards! Go and call your tutor over! "
The other members of Liuli City obviously knew who Leng Yihan was. When they saw him attack, they all panicked and didn't even dare to help their fallen companions up.
"Mentor … Mentor Leng Yihan, t-this is a matter between us students. D-don't get involved.
If Mentor Lu finds out, y-you won't be able to walk away unscathed! "
Leng Yihan's appearance deterred them from attacking Li Mo and Zi Lingwei. But from their words and actions, it seemed they were only afraid of Leng Yihan's strength, not the slightest bit of respect.
"Humph!
I never repeat myself. Are you guys forcing me to teach you a lesson? "
Leng Yihan's cold gaze swept over the Veluriyam City members. His fists were clenched as if ready to explode.
"Damn it, you Leaffall City's people sure are capable.
How dare you reprimand my students. Leng Yihan, what kind of mentor are you? "
As the two sides were in a deadlock, a loud voice rang.
A fat old man in his fifties appeared in Li Mo's field of vision.
"Lu Xiong, my students don't need you to discipline them. If you have the time, take care of your own students!"
Leng Yihan's cold voice rang again.
"Leng Yihan, my students didn't do anything wrong.
It's only human nature that these kids are a little excited when they see a pretty girl!
But your students insulted them. Do you think my Veluriyam City has no one? "
Li Mo sneered inwardly at this.
"Like master, like disciple. No wonder your Veluriyam City's students are so arrogant and despotic. As a mentor, you're just like them.
I really don't understand why the empire allowed a guild like you to exist! "
Li Mo's voice wasn't loud, but each word came out loud and clear. Everyone, including Zi Lingwei, was shocked.
"Li Mo, what are you doing?
Don't you know you're offending them?
Our guild will be in deep trouble! "
Zi Lingwei tugged at the hem of his shirt as she reminded him softly.
But Li Mo didn't care.
"What?
I didn't say anything wrong. The reason Veluriyam City's people treat our people this way is because they've been spoiled by your cowardly nature!
We're all the same, so why should we let them bully us like this? "
"Ha-ha-ha … isn't this kid good?
Is he new to the guild?
I didn't expect your Leaffall City's guild to have such a gutsy student. He's much stronger than you old geezers!
However, even though I, Lu Xiong, admire your bravery, I still have to teach you a lesson today no matter what, you ignorant brat.
If this matter gets out, our Veluriyam City's reputation will be tarnished! "
