Can we continue tracking it?

"Master, this technique is affected in densely populated areas, making it unable to detect accurately."

A group of merchants dressed Demon Summoning Cult had already infiltrated Greenwood City.

Luo Yexian wanted his men to continue using secret techniques to track the whereabouts of the Power of All Living Beings, but the gaunt middle-aged man shook his head, indicating that his subordinate could not do it.

At most, we can only confirm that the being that absorbs the Power of All Living Beings is located in this Greenwood City.

"Master, why don't we turn Greenwood City upside down and see if that thief who stole the Power of All Living Beings comes out!"

A buck-toothed High Priest snorted coldly, his face full of murderous intent.

Are you Heaven Patrol Guard?

"Master, my loyalty to our cult is as clear as day and night; you know that!"

"Then why are you shouting so loudly? Do you think you're some kind of Heaven Patrol Guard? We're the Demonic Sect, the Demonic Sect!"

"You'd be lucky to turn Greenwood City upside down; the tens of thousands of soldiers in the Greenwood Camp would be flying through the air!"

Luo Yexian raised his eyelids slightly, clearly aware of his own identity.

This is also why he was able to become the head of a hall and a confidant of the Holy Son.

He is not related to the Son of Holy Son, but has no relation to him whatsoever.

The buck-toothed High Priest shrank back, thinking to himself, "Master, your voice isn't exactly loud either."

Upon hearing this, the members of the Demon Summoning Cult Sect recalled the day of the siege, the ferocity of the Greenwood defenders, and the fear brought by the two prodigies who ranked among the top five on the Hidden Dragon Ranking.

Back then, even with over 100,000 people, a host of high-grade Calamity Beast, and the presence of the Imperial Preceptor, they still couldn't conquer Greenwood City.

They clearly lack the ability to cause trouble in Greenwood City now.

The Hall Master is indeed steady and reliable; no wonder the Holy Son entrusts him with all matters.

The gaunt, middle-aged High Priest asked, "Master, what should we do next?"

"Do nothing."

"???"

"Since we cannot pinpoint their location, let's set up camp in the city and observe the situation."

Luo Yexian squinted his eyes and slowly said:

"They will eventually leave Greenwood City. We will naturally find this so-called Heavenly Venerable Immortal then. Why alert them?"

Upon hearing this, the believers also felt that Luo Yexian's words made sense.

So the group discussed it and decided to find a restaurant in Greenwood City to stay in.

As they walked, they inexplicably caught a whiff of a familiar fragrance.

Looking around, it was a bustling restaurant; even late at night, there were still many people queuing up, and a large wooden sign was placed at the entrance:

'The same secret recipe as Little Li Overlord Barbecue Stratagem!'

"Boss, is this the barbecue that smelled so good that made so many of the brothers dizzy from the aroma the other day?!"

"Why don't we stay here?"

"Back then, I just wanted to know what this barbecue tasted like... Um, let's find out so we won't be fooled again, slurp..."

Luo Yexian's expression changed, and he gritted his teeth and snorted coldly:

"Hmph, you little barbecue enthusiast, I'm going to eat you to death today!"

They, a group of members of the demonic sect, charged menacingly towards the barbecue stall in front of the restaurant.

However, they had barely passed through the crowd, and before they could even order, they were still waiting.

"Why are you cutting in line? Who do you think you are? Don't you understand basic public order and morality?"

"These people have no manners at all; they look completely uncultured."

"One person cutting in is one thing, but so many people doing this, don't they have any sense of public decency? I have to go to work tomorrow morning!"

The wandering swordsmen who had been cut in line were now being pointed at and gossiped about by the common people.

Luo Yexian gritted his teeth. He, the dignified Hundred Beast Hall Master, a fearsome demon of the cult, ranked seventy-ninth on the Earth Ranking, had to wait in line for barbecue?

He took a deep breath:

"Queue up! Fine! Queue up!!"

He endured this humiliation temporarily for the sake of the greater good of the religion!

A group of members of the demonic cult went to line up again, looking menacing.

Inside a private room of the restaurant.

Most of the cake was left uneaten, so Ice Block made a box out of ice, put it in, and stored it in his Sumeru Object. The next time he eats it, it will probably be an ice cream cake.

Shang Qinqing returned to the Green Phoenix Territory. Originally, she planned to follow Li Mo and Ying Bing all the way back.

But then I thought about it again. Given Shang Wu's personality, she might come to their rescue halfway through. The chances of the two of them running into each other are slim, but not impossible.

Meanwhile, Li Mo was in the side room, exchanging ideas on the art of combat with Phoenix Heavenly Empress Ice Block.

emmmm

It can't really be called communication.

It was a one-sided instruction from Teacher Ice Block, and Little Li even felt as if he had asked her for kendo instruction back then.

Don't let Ice Block cool and aloof appearance fool you; she's not just a pretty face.

In terms of fighting skills, they are probably on par with Shang Wu.

Of course, if you have to keep your mouth shut during a fight and are not allowed to use any underhanded tactics, then Ice Block is even more formidable.

Shang Wu's main theme is the art of deception in warfare.

Ice Block, on the other hand, turned battle into art.

Furthermore, Ice Block understands even better how to be a good teacher.

Night deepened.

In the quiet room, the soft voice of the Cold Fairy could be heard, and the gentle light of the Night-Shining Pearl cast their shadows on the window screen.

Even though it was supposed to be a rest time, Li Mo's eyes shone brightly, and he was full of fighting spirit.

"I understand. I'll try it out when I enter the dream later."

He just mentioned that, with the help of a rare treasure, he can project his opponents into his dreams.

"Then I'll practice too. Ask me if you have any more questions."

"No way, little Golden Crow, I'll take you down tonight!"

Li Mo was imbued with the fighting style of Phoenix Heavenly Empress.

"Then let's go, Heavenly Venerable Immortal."

Ying Bing's eyebrows drooped slightly, a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

He probably has some ideas that he's learned a lot, but in reality, there's still a lot he needs to learn.

Combat awareness cannot be developed overnight.

That requires going through many life-and-death trials.

In the World Seed.

"Fighting is an art."

"Did you understand everything I just told you?"

The Heavenly Venerable spoke calmly and confidently, exuding an air of masterful control. If that Ice Block were here, he might find the name somewhat familiar...

"I understand, teacher... you understand much more comprehensively than I thought."

Jiang Chulong's eyes, hidden behind the strip of cloth, shone brightly.

She's been reflecting on things since she woke up yesterday, but she still can't think of as many ideas as her teacher.

A teacher truly deserves to be called a teacher.

Before long, the Heavenly Venerable's mini-lesson came to an end.

Princess Little Jiang immersed herself in the intense and exciting practical training. It was clear that she grasped the concepts immediately, and her performance today was significantly better than yesterday.

From being completely overwhelmed at the beginning, they are now able to find opportunities to fight back.

"This is probably what Ice Block meant by the rhythm and cadence of battle?"

"If you are weaker than your opponent, you will only fall into their rhythm and become increasingly passive and suppressed."

"What I need to do now is to first familiarize myself with the rhythm of the Golden Crow Projection, then slowly find my own rhythm, until I can drag the other party in."

Li Mo had a premonition.

He might have a good haul tonight.
