Little Li's Genius Counter-Kill! The Demon Summoning Cult Arrives
The room was brightly lit under the light of the Clam Pearl.
The sweet aroma of the cake spread, seemingly giving the lamplight a creamy sheen.
Li Mo took the Crimson Firmament Sword and cut the cake. Shang Qinqing had been curious about what the cake tasted like, because when the cake came out of the oven, the aroma could be smelled for half a mile.
Moreover, although this cake looks ordinary, it is actually made with very high-quality ingredients.
The eggs used are from Brocade Poultry Egg, the sugar is Royal Jelly, and the filling of fruit is heavenly materials and earthly treasures...
Cold Fairy sat there quietly, her fingers gently twirling the hem of her skirt, glancing at the cake Li Mo had cut out of the corner of her eye.
It's like when they hand out snacks in class at school, and before you get yours, you have to pretend to be studying hard, then put on a surprised and delighted face when you finally get them...
"Is it tasty?"
Actually, Chef Li himself hadn't tried it either.
"Hey."
Ying Bing handed over the first bite of cake, but Li Mo smiled and shook his head, telling her to try it first, since it was her birthday. She silently took a bite, her lips glistening with a sheen.
Just like the light in her eyes.
"How did you do that?"
"!"
Li Mo leaned back slightly, and the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end.
Making a cake is much more complicated than making scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
"Oh right, Li Mo is only two months younger than you."
The value of Shang Qinqing, a seasoned expert in online discussions, is self-evident; with a slight narrowing of her beautiful eyes, she saw through Ice Block's thoughts.
Um...
Make a cake for your boyfriend by hand?
That's what she thought too, so when Li Mo was making this cake, she watched the whole process carefully and even took notes in a small notebook.
As expected of the Azure Green Phoenix Goddess of the Azure Phoenix Green Phoenix Clan, Yingxiong shared the same view.
"No, I'm just curious."
Ying Bing brushed a strand of hair from the corner of her mouth and said softly.
But Li Mo clearly saw the eagerness in her expression!
"You've come to the right bird."
Shang Qinqing had an inscrutable expression, adopting the airs she had learned from Little Li Heavenly Venerable.
Ice Block's talent in music and cultivation hurt her deeply.
This was the first time Little Bing had ever asked her for advice!
"Since you have asked so sincerely, I will be your guiding light."
"!!!"
"OK."
Ice Block looked very serious, as if he had truly seen a guiding light.
Chef Li was covered in sweat, as if he had really seen the guiding lamp.
"Senior Shang, my master and I haven't seen each other for so long, he must miss you terribly. Next time I visit, I'll bring her along."
"???!"
Shang Qinqing straightened her back instantly and leaned back slightly.
In her eyes, Li Junzi, who was originally gentle, kind, and sunny, seemed to have grown two devil horns on his head.
He whispered in her ear:
'Senior Shang, you wouldn't want my master to be placed in your clan's territory, would you...?'
Shang Wu is here; next time, this cake might really be made from Green Phoenix egg.
"Um?"
Ying Bing frowned slightly, wondering why Shang Qinqing had suddenly fallen silent. Wasn't she usually such a chatterbox?
She glanced at Li Mo out of the corner of her eye, as if she wanted to ask more questions.
"I want to eat cake too."
Li Mo suddenly said.
"You eat it."
"Sister, ah~"
Little Li opened his mouth, having already used every trick in the book to resolve this crisis!
Ying Bing shrank her neck slightly, her slender fingers trembling, almost crushing the white porcelain spoon in her hand.
She scooped a spoonful for Li Mo, and when she ate it herself, she felt that the already sweet cake made her heart race for no reason.
I hope there's nothing that can't be put in the cake...
Seeing this, Shang Qinqing's lips, which had been pursed, curled up again.
Hmph.
Considering that Xiao Li is young and naive, and that he has already provided her with an extra meal, she'll let bygones be bygones regarding his earlier threat.
This is called a large bird with a lot of resources.
Thus, a life-or-death crisis was successfully averted by the resourceful Xiao Li!
He even managed to turn the tables and kill them!
"Which places in Southern Border did you visit?" Ying Bing asked, holding up a cake.
Her mind was a bit of a mess, and she couldn't think about the cake for the time being.
"Yes, we went to many villages and towns, some in the mountains, some by the water... Oh, by the way, do you remember the village where we killed that fathead fish Calamity Beast?"
Li Mo recounted what he had seen and heard along the way.
Ying Bing ate her cake in small bites while listening.
When Shang Qinqing recalls something amusing, she will add with a smile:
"Hahaha, there are a few Demon Summoning Cult have actually believed in the evil teachings of the Heavenly Venerable Immortal, and actually want to join the Myriad Phenomena Immortal Sect and learn the Heavenly Venerable's Image-Mimicking Martial Arts."
"It took me a lot of effort to hold back my laughter."
"So many villages and towns...?"
Ying Bing lowered her eyes and silently considered for a moment. "Then we should return as soon as possible."
Li Mo's public display of divine power nearly shrunk the Power of All Living Beings of the Demon Summoning Cult in the Southern Border by one-third.
This would have been impossible in the past. Before Li Mo collected such a massive amount of the Power of All Living Beings, the Demon Summoning Cult would have already taken action. They would not have remained silent until now.
It's just that the Southern Border Branch of the Demon Summoning Cult hasn't had a chance to catch its breath after the battle of Greenwood City. They probably didn't expect that the best actor of Clear Abyss Sect would show such great strength in public, and be so much more efficient than them.
In conclusion
It's only a matter of time before the Demon Summoning Cult's Hundred Beast Hall launches a counterattack.
"Hmm... The Demon Summoning Cult is completely open and honest with its own people..."
Li Mo frowned.
The Demon Summoning Cult will definitely try to take back the villages that believe in them.
Wouldn't he then be unable to sustain the Power of All Living Beings in the future?
Then it's unknown when or how long it will take to gather enough Power of All Living Beings to project the Great Dao Divine Form.
"Alright, you've already made a huge profit this time, Heavenly Venerable Majesty."
"Do you really expect the Demon Summoning Cult Sect to obediently hand over a vast amount of the Power of All Living Beings?"
"They might all be on their way to settle scores with you."
Shang Qinqing rolled her eyes in annoyance.
With so many villages and towns, Li Mo couldn't possibly send a High Priest to watch over each one like the Demon Summoning Cult, could he?
"The situation in Southern Border cannot be changed overnight."
Ying Bing looked at Li Mo and suddenly spoke softly.
"I know."
Li Mo nodded, but his eyes remained deep in thought.
Are you suggesting that the Demon Summoning Cult should simply hand over the Power of All Living Beings?
This sounds unrealistic, absolutely impossible.
But as everyone knows, he's a genius!
Geniuses are brave enough to do things and challenge the impossible...
Is there any way?
Meanwhile, Greenwood City.
None of them expected that Shang Qinqing, who was clearly not a jinx, would actually jinx things this time.
Fifty miles from the city, a group of members of the Demon Summoning Cult, disguised as merchants, were traveling along the road.
On the carriage in the very center of the caravan.
The Hundred Beast Hall Master frowned as he looked at one of his High Priest and said:
"Let's confirm again, the direction in which the Power of All Living Beings converges."
"Yes."
The High Priest was a gaunt middle-aged man, but he was at the fifth realm, the realm of the External Scene Realm.
He took out bottles and jars containing blood powder made from the solidified blood of various animals. With a gentle rub of his hand, the powder turned into a pale red smoke.
Red smoke rose into the air, like a school of fish merging into the sea, converging on Greenwood City from all directions.
It appears the school of fish encountered an ocean current.
"That Heavenly Venerable Immortal is truly in Greenwood City..."
Luo Yexian, the Hundred Beast Hall Master, narrowed his eyes slightly.
