Counterattack! Clear Abyss Sect Meeting

"Strangeness."

The clouds around Li Mo dissipated, and he fell from mid-air, only to find the Pleasant Goat Hot Pot Restaurant deserted, with not a single person in sight.

From a distance just now, the business looked pretty good.

He frowned as he landed on the ground, only to find that the two figures sitting by the door were blocking the light shining in from the doorway.

The Heavenly Mandate Divine Eye Destiny was activated accordingly.

[Name: Jiang Yu]

[Age: 22]

[Root Bone: True Dragon Body, Emperor Sword Bone (incomplete affiliation).]

[Realm: Nine Apertures of Divine Observation.]

At this point, the information displayed by the Heavenly Mandate Divine Eye flickered.

This is the most complex color of destiny that Li Mo has ever seen with his Heavenly Mandate Divine Eye.

A touch of red is mixed in with the gold.

Normally, this is a sign of a change in destiny, a possible sign that things are moving in a better direction.

However, the hint of red in the gold was faintly gray, or even black.

After a pause, the Heavenly Mandate Divine Eye finally gave its evaluation.

[Evaluation: Possessing the same innate talent as Emperor Taizu Wu, he was destined to be invincible in his time, bearing the fate of the dynasty on his shoulders. However, he rose to power because of the Great Yu Dynasty, and he also fell because of the Great Yu Dynasty...]

[Recent encounter: He discovered that Jiang Chulong, whose Sword Bone had long been removed, was showing signs of new Sword Bone within her body, and wanted to test her current level.]

How did you test it?

Li Mo's expression changed. He could already hear the sounds inside, like the sound of being beaten with bamboo shoots when he was a child, but obviously much harsher.

He stepped into the hot pot restaurant.

Just then, the pink-clad maidservant saw the withered willow branch whip down with a whistling sound in the wind.

Jiang Chulong was covered in bloodstains, which stained her new clothes. The girl in the pink dress was very vicious; her skin was broken, but her clothes were unharmed.

In that instant, a surge of anger rose from his chest, and Li Mo's hair almost caught fire.

But he didn't lose his mind. He plucked a strand of hair, let it drift in the wind to the backyard of the hot pot restaurant, and then flicked out a round, smooth Mirage God Spirit Bead.

"Get out."

Jiang Yu turned around with his double pupils, and the woman in green beside him spoke coldly.

But no matter how cold her face was, it couldn't be colder than Li Mo's Ice Block expression.

"I'm the owner here."

"Big Brother Li..."

Upon seeing Li Mo enter, Jiang Chulong pouted, and faint dampness appeared on the strip of cloth.

"Chulong, hit her, don't hold back."

Li Mo's voice was very soft, yet it was very clear.

"Oh..."

The woman in the pink dress seemed to have heard a joke. Let alone a hot pot restaurant owner, even if the domain lord of the Eastern Wasteland Domain or the governor of a state were here, he wouldn't dare to stop her.

Besides, Jiang Chulong is already useless; she's no different from a waiter in an ordinary restaurant.

With a flick of her arm, the withered willow branch, carrying a mournful whistling sound, lashed towards Jiang Chulong's face.

This is serious; that little oval face is definitely going to be disfigured.

However, when Jiang Chulong saw Li Mo's calm eyes, her frightened heart inexplicably calmed down.

Big Brother Li said that it's okay to fight back.

Relying on the confidence given by Li Mo, she resolutely picked up the Peach Blossom Branch.

Snap--

The sword intent within the Peach Blossom Branch was resilient and sharp, severing the withered willow branch in the middle and then curling upwards in the process.

The woman in the pink dress had her sleeve torn, and a few drops of blood dripped down.

She was stunned, never expecting that the seemingly gentle and weak Jiang Chulong would unleash such astonishing power.

Jiang Yu's double pupils flashed violently. He gestured with his eyes, and the woman in green holding the sword beside him threw the long sword out of her arms.

That was also a Mystic Weapon.

The woman in the pink dress caught the sword and turned to fight back.

Ding ding ding--

For a moment, the hot pot restaurant was filled with flashing sword light and numerous sword shadows. Neither of them used their cultivation levels; they were simply sparring with swords.

As a result, the sword servant from the Heavenly Mountain Sword Villa was completely outmatched by Princess Little Jiang.

The Pink-robed Sword Servant moved like a butterfly flitting among flowers, her hand wielding Mystic Weapon that shone brightly.

The sword intent of this strike was like a long river in the clouds, falling from the heavens, and it vaguely shared the same origin as the Cloud-Crossing Sword Intent.

Without using one's cultivation level, this sword strike would be difficult for even a martial artist at the Inner Breath Realm to withstand.

Faced with the domineering and terrifying sword strike, Jiang Chulong advanced instead of retreating.

In a daze, dozens or even hundreds of sword lights seemed to burst forth from the Peach Blossom Branch, among which one appeared exceptionally pure, bright, resilient, and unwavering.

The sword flashed and disappeared in an instant.

The Mystic Weapon in the pink-skirted woman's hand flew out and stuck upside down in the ground.

If she hadn't let go, her five fingers would have been severed.

However, Jiang Chulong did not stop wielding the Peach Blossom Branch, because Big Brother Li had said not to hold back.

The sword is gone.

The Pink-robed Sword Servant became increasingly disheveled, forced to dodge left and right.

To put it simply, she couldn't even fight back; she could only be chased and beaten.

"Enough!"

Jiang Yu stood up.

"Not enough!"

Li Mo met the gaze of those double pupils without any hesitation.

"Your Excellency is of high status, but our shop has its own rules."

Jiang Yu stood up, his double pupils revealing no anger.

He was genuinely scrutinizing this young man who claimed to be the owner of a hot pot restaurant and ranked fourth on the Hidden Dragon Ranking.

"Her martial arts training is related to you?"

"It's me, what are you going to do about it?"

"You have committed a capital offense!"

Jiang Yu's aura intertwined, revealing a powerful Divine Intent.

A Golden Dragon with prominent horns and scales gleaming with golden light, holding an imperial sword in its mouth, coiled in the sky.

Beneath its circling form, there seemed to be a magnificent city.

Is this the Imperial Capital?

Somewhat similar.

The Divine Sword Golden Dragon Suppresses Imperial Realm.

Perhaps when the city is fully manifested, Jiang Yu will break through the Inner Scene, but the mere pressure of the Divine Intent from the Nine Apertures of Divine Observation is enough to shroud the area within a radius of dozens of miles with a domineering and sacred aura.

For fifty miles around, travelers felt terrified and could not live a day without fear. They felt that they could only kneel and kowtow, and dared not raise their heads. Their knees buckled and they were forced to kneel on the ground.

The roar of the Golden Dragon rose into the Unseen.

Clear Abyss Sect.

Main Peak Hall.

The elders were having a meeting. Shangguan Wencang sat in the Sect Master's seat, smoking his pipe as he slowly began to speak:

"His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived. We must demonstrate the excellent spirit of the Clear Abyss, with each peak fulfilling its responsibilities and maintaining a steady and positive development trend."

"Ahem, the new Peak Master of Rare Beast Peak has not yet been elected, and the hygiene of the exotic beasts needs improvement. After the meeting, we need to organize the disciples to arrange a thorough cleaning."

"Cauldron Peak has made the latest breakthrough in external alchemy. Although only Li Mo succeeded, it has still broadened our thinking and set a precedent. We can highlight our research results to Your Highness at that time."

"Ruyi Peak has also made new explorations in the Painting Path. The 'Animation' technique developed by disciple Ouyang can make the Divine Observation Diagram more vivid, promote the cultivation progress of disciples in the Divine Observation Realm, and is expected to be popularized throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."

"Oh, right, tell Ouyang to put away those 'hobbies' of his. His Highness might think Ruyi Peak is involved in some illegal business..."

"Does anyone have anything to add?"

Shangguan Wencang finished speaking, he coughed lightly, picked up the porcelain mug next to him, blew on it, and sipped some tea.

Elder Han He raised his hand:

"I suggest we lock Elder Shang Wu up first."

"She can bite. If she accidentally injures two of His Highness's sinuses, it will be a real problem."

This is also a very constructive suggestion.

But they figured they couldn't keep her in that state, so they tried to get her some good wine so she could be drunk for three to five days.

We were talking about that.

Roar--

From the Unseen, a dragon's roar, chilling to the bone, resounded.

"This Divine Intent... is it His Highness the Crown Prince?"

"How did he release his Divine Intent?"

"Could it be that we ran into some lawless scoundrel and offended him? There have been quite a few unruly people in Purple Sun Prefecture lately..."
