Lanke Mountain, the Unfinished Chess Game
The Li Mansion in Qinghe County.
Fine snow was falling in the night, yet a beam of clear moonlight peeked through the dark clouds, casting a frosty glow on the room.
It also brought fleeting glimpses from thousands of miles away.
This is a scene from the Xi Yangyang Hotpot Restaurant.
The girl, who had just turned seventeen, bathed in moonlight, quietly contemplated the light and shadow before her.
"The Dream God..."
Ying Bing's eyes, reflecting the moonlight, rippled slightly.
She knew that this was one of the three ancestral gods worshipped by the Demon Summoning Cult.
In my memory, this Dream God has always been dormant, and I have never heard of any signs of revival.
In her previous life, after entering the Clear Abyss Sect, she endured many hardships and returned to Qinghe County, where she had already reached the Profound Mastery Realm and become the Master of the Cassia Palace.
When Profound Mastery Realm returned to Qinghe County, he did not encounter the black Year Beast...
Could it be that the one truly seeking her is the Dream God?
She originally only intended to use her past life's experience to protect Li Mo, but unexpectedly, she found herself seemingly connected to the massacre of the Ying Family...
Whether there's a connection or not, we'll just have to wait and see.
Ying Bing calmed the turmoil in her mind and continued looking at the screen.
But after seeing what had happened, her furrowed brows relaxed into a look of helplessness.
He's really good at bluffing.
She even had to help him deceive him.
Practice makes perfect, and this was the second time that Cold Fairy had helped him deceive the Demon Summoning Cult Sect.
In the reflection of the moonlight.
"Since we've already agreed, shall we... um?"
Luo Yexian just reached out with his chopsticks when he discovered that all six plates on the table were empty.
Who ate so fast?
"Huh? I definitely ordered quite a lot."
Li Mo wiped his mouth with a solemn expression.
As everyone knows, Little Li is a genius with a strong learning ability. He often dined at the same table with Elder Qian in Yun Province and has already learned a third of his True Disciple.
"In that case, let's not delay and set off."
"But we haven't eaten yet... cough, things are more important."
"Waiter, the bill is due."
"Master Luo, you're too kind."
Li Mo smiled and thanked him.
Luo Yexian taken aback. He had only called the waiter for her; Ye Mei hadn't said she wanted to pay the bill.
However, since the Black Soil Earth Immortal had already thanked him, he had no choice but to take out the silver.
As they walked out, Luo Yexian continued to spout flattering words:
"Don't be so polite, there's no need for thanks. Our two families have a long history together; we're practically one family."
"Haha, that's true. How about we address each other as brothers from now on, Master Luo?"
Immortal Li Black Soil was in a good mood.
Having eaten his fill, without spending a single penny, and even making a hefty profit of ten taels of silver, how could he not be in a good mood?
"Brother, I've wandered for half my life, and seeing you feels like seeing my long-lost brother."
Luo Yexian, who is adept at widening his own path, was deeply moved, his eyes filled with tears.
"Holy Son's nephew, quickly, call him Uncle."
Tan Zhuyin: "?"
He made an excuse to go to the restroom, and only then did he return after exchanging a few words with the two Dharma Body.
What, did going to the outhouse cause you to be of a different generation?
Looking at Luo Yexian, a middle-aged man with a gray beard, and then at the young-looking Black Soil Earth Immortal, he couldn't understand how his unfortunate uncle could call him "brother."
Are you two from the same reign period?
"Nephew, this man's age might be just like his level of cultivation—not what it seems. We might even be the ones who benefit."
Luo Yexian felt no guilt whatsoever at being addressed as "elder brother."
Tan Zhuyin frowned and glared at him before speaking seriously.
"It's about 500 li to Lanke Mountain. Let's set off now."
"Ha, children are easily embarrassed. We are outsiders, why should we care about worldly titles?"
Let's go.
As Li Mo spoke, he silently asked the question in his heart while looking at the moon.
"Ice Block, what kind of agility and movement techniques do you use? It seems more like the work of a powerful expert?"
His imagination is definitely up to par.
However, since there are two Dharma Body beings secretly watching, even when performing a divine act in front of others, one must adhere to the basic principles of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths; otherwise, it would be too pretentious and empty, easily arousing suspicion.
"The experts of the Penglai Star Sect can tread upon the Seven Stars."
"The Heavenly Mountain Sword Villa typically travels by sword, capable of summoning ten thousand swords with a single breath."
"If a powerful cultivator has reached the level of Dharma Body through the cultivation of the Taiyin Divine Intent, they can transform their body into moonlight..."
As Li Mo walked downstairs, he listened to Ice Block whispering in his ear.
He probably understood.
It means that as long as it conforms to some Divine Intent, that's fine.
We arrived outside the hot pot restaurant.
The Demon Summoning Holy Son, Tan Zhuyin, boarded a sedan chair and was carried by his followers as he flew through the air. Each of his sedan chair bearers was actually an Inner Scene expert.
It should be noted that even the elders of Clear Abyss Sect are only at the Inner Scene, which shows the pomp and circumstance of this Demon Summoning Holy Son.
Luo Yexian blew a whistle, and a vulture landed. It was several feet long and looked fierce and menacing, definitely not a benevolent creature.
"On the Black Soil... Brother, my bird is big enough to sit on."
Luo Yexian invited Li Mo up first.
"It's alright."
The Mirage God Spirit Bead in Li Mo's arms trembled.
Roar--
Accompanied by a phoenix cry, a soaring, ethereal figure pierced the sky, hovering high above, its magnificent feathers shimmering in the moonlight, a gentle breeze rising and falling around it.
Its oppressive aura enveloped the sky, reigning supreme over all living beings.
Its nobility is like a personification of the moon.
Phoenix.
To be precise, it is a type of True Phoenix.
Moon Phoenix.
Ice Block: "..."
Immortal Li Mo instantly appeared on Moon Phoenix's body. This immortal, riding Moon Phoenix under the moon, calmly spoke:
"I have no intention of drawing attention, but since we are going to the place where the Dream God's legacy is passed down, we must be solemn. Let's go."
The words had barely left his mouth.
The Moon Phoenix soared into the sky, like another moon streaking across the heavens, scattering starlight with each flap of its wings.
"Good heavens, this is the kind of grandeur Brother Black Soil has to offer."
Luo Yexian clicked his tongue, a hint of regret creeping in.
I should have known better than to call him "brother"...
He should be called godfather!
"When the Great Shang was in power, it was no less powerful than True Dragon."
Tan Zhuyin gazed at the ethereal figure riding away on a phoenix, a strong longing rising in his eyes.
One hour later.
Amidst the swirling snow and clouds, the group began to descend.
The tiny mountain outlines began to emerge beneath our feet, also shrouded in a sea of clouds, making it impossible to distinguish between heaven and earth.
The group landed on a mountaintop amidst a sea of clouds.
"Actually, I knew a long time ago that Lanke Mountain might be related to the inheritance of the Dream God."
Tan Zhuyin gazed at the clouds beneath his feet and slowly said:
"Since the ancestral god has not responded, we dare not disturb him."
It's because they can't get in.
Li Mo didn't expose him, but instead looked at the rolling Lanke Mountain Range, which were square and well-arranged in the darkness.
"May I ask the immortal, what do you think the feng shui of this mountain range resembles?"
Although Little Li said he would lend a hand, he knew nothing about feng shui.
Fortunately, Ice Block's jade-like legs were indeed very easy to hug.
Li Mo glanced at the moon and spoke calmly:
"A game of chess, an unfinished endgame."
