The following morning.

"So close, just a tiny bit more."

Li Mo, who had been defeated more than ten times yesterday, woke up from his dream, and the golden-red flames in his eyes slowly died down.

To be honest, Little Li was actually a little anxious.

Challenging the same boss and getting killed more than ten times in a row, each time in a different way, would make any normal person a little red-hot.

Moreover, he had genuinely experienced life-or-death crises more than a dozen times, but in the end, he still patiently and earnestly persevered. He was determined not to let Ice Block laugh at him when he woke up the next day...

The sunlight streaming through the window was perfect, filling the room with radiance.

"How many times did you lose last night?"

A clear, melodious voice came from beside the tea table.

"I didn't win the first eleven rounds, but he didn't lose the last one."

Li Mo was very serious, yet his words included both winning and losing.

"?"

"Okay, I haven't won even once, feel free to laugh at me."

Li Mo honestly gave up and did nothing.

"Losing more than ten times means you haven't used the divine weapon and have been seriously honing your skills, which is very good."

Ying Bing's voice was very soft, and she rarely spoke so much at once.

"!"

Li Mo was taken aback and couldn't help but look up at Ying Bing.

Bathed in the golden morning light, she held a cup and drank her morning tea, making one momentarily mistakenly believe that the phrase "warm jade emitting smoke" was used to describe a person.

The Ice Block was as bright as the sunshine outside, with a faint smile in its eyes, but it wasn't mockery; rather, it was encouragement and praise.

Li Mo's mood instantly brightened.

"How did you lose the last time?"

"Sigh, it was so close! I had already knocked his Sun-Radiance Golden Wheel away, but just as I got close, it suddenly turned into a ball of sunlight..."

Li Mo recounted the events of last night's battle and asked Ying Bing to help him review it.

As they talked, the two packed their few belongings and went downstairs to have their last breakfast in Southern Border. After all, after today, they would be back in their hometown of Qinghe County.

The Jiawei Restaurant was still bustling in the morning. Southern Border is damp and cold, so locals have a habit of drinking early in the morning, making it very lively.

Li Mo led Ying Bing to their usual spot and ordered several special breakfast items.

The arrival of the two men silenced the restaurant lobby for a moment.

But it quickly returned to normal.

They are indeed very famous, and they are often the topic of conversation at dinner parties. But just like when you suddenly see a celebrity in real life, only a good person can go up and say hello.

Besides, the Cold Fairy sat there.

Today she changed back into that blue and white porcelain dress, which accentuated her slender figure and made her fair skin look like porcelain.

The slight movement of her cheeks, her silent and aloof demeanor, was enough to dispel any thought of strangers approaching.

She would only occasionally dip a steamed bun in chili sauce and feed it to Li Mo across from her...

"What should I bring back for my parents...?"

"It's ready."

Ying Bing gently rubbed the Big-Headed Doll's head.

"!"

Li Mo, whose CPU was already a bit hot from reviewing the battle details, was momentarily stunned.

When did Ice Block become so thoughtful?

It's hard to imagine her going out alone to pick out gifts...

The trip to Southern Border seemed to have matured him, and it wasn't just him who had grown up...

"Ice Block, eat."

Li Mo picked up a small steamed bun dipped in chili sauce and brought it to Ying Bing's lips.

After eating the Ice Block, he smiled and said:

"This xiaolongbao is a reward for growing up."

"Childish..."

Ying Bing looked up and glanced at him with a hint of helplessness.

After having breakfast, he greeted the restaurant owners and their spouses, and then went outside.

Just as he was thinking about whether he should say goodbye to the soldiers of the Greenwood Camp and Donglai before leaving, he heard a commotion behind him.

That's not true.

A large group of a dozen or twenty people came downstairs, making quite a commotion.

"Tang..."

"Although I am the dignified Hundred Beast Hall Master, when we are out in the world, you should call me Manager."

"Yes, Master. Will you reimburse our food and lodging expenses for this business trip?"

"..."

To be fair, these members of the evil cult are quite well disguised; normally they wouldn't be easily recognized.

But the problem is...

Heavenly Venerable Immortal Li has had quite a lot of dealings with the people of the Demon Summoning Cult.

Moreover, he possesses the Heavenly Mandate Divine Eye; whenever he senses something is amiss, he will take a look.

[Name: Luo Yexian]

[Age: 72]

[Root Bone: Body of a Hundred Beasts Flood Dragon Demon.]

[Realm: Sixth Heaven of the External Scene Realm.]

[Destiny: Blue with a hint of purple]

[Evaluation: The younger brother of the Saint Son of the Demon Summoning Cult, he was born without any Root Bone. He relied on the Demon Summoning Cult's Hundred Beast Blood Refining to improve his aptitude, using a vast amount of the Power of All Living Beings. His beastly nature was extremely suppressed, and he was very cautious. Unfortunately, he exhausted his potential and never had a chance to achieve the Outer External Scene Realm. He once cooperated with Han Zhen, hoping that the other party would help him achieve the Dharma Body.]

[Recent Encounter: Tracking the Power of All Living Beings, they are searching for the mysterious 'Heavenly Venerable Immortal'. Currently, they can only confirm that the individual is in Greenwood City.]

Li Mo: "..."

He really is a Demon Summoning Cult, and even a hall master at that; he might even be the superior of that unfortunate Elder Yin Hua!

Ironically, the other party ended up staying at the Jiawei Restaurant by sheer coincidence.

It's quite a coincidence that we, living under the same roof, somehow managed to pass each other by.

"What's wrong?"

Ying Bing noticed his gaze.

"We'll talk about it later."

Li Mo spoke in a low voice, and after walking out of the street, he summoned his Somersault Cloud, which carried the two of them up into the blue sky.

The Somersault Cloud did not leave Greenwood City, but remained suspended in mid-air.

"The Demon Summoning Cult has come looking for us."

"Were they the same merchants from earlier?"

Ying Bing's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, her gaze becoming deep and unfathomable.

He seemed to be thinking about how to deal with those people...

Seeing that she was already pondering how those people had died, Li Mo shook his head and said:

"They have a large number of people, and it's all External Scene Realm and Inner Scene, so we can't force it."

"But we want to go home." Ying Bing frowned.

They couldn't let these members of the evil cult follow them all the way back to Qinghe County; they had to deal with them before returning home.

"Lead these people to the Greenwood Camp?"

"You didn't see it, that Hundred Beast Hall Master just endured someone spitting on his shoe. He's so composed, it's a bit troublesome... Luckily, I managed to think of a solution."

"What?"

"Ice Block, congratulations! From this day forward, you are the Saintess of the Myriad Phenomena Immortal Sect!"

Li Mo, with a serious expression, took out the Formless Glazed Veil and handed it to her.

After thinking for a moment, he also handed over the string of Buddhist beads that Brother Murong had given him.

"?"

"It's time for us to cooperate in the performance!"

That's right!

This is the idea that Golden Statue Award winner Leonardo DiCaprio came up with!

With his performance as a top leading actor, he has already made the name of the Heavenly Venerable Immortal resound throughout the Southern Border!

Now that the best actor and best actress are putting on a show, what's the big deal with the Hundred Beast Hall of the Demon Summoning Cult? It's just a matter of a little effort.
