Thousand Forms Art, with Rightful Authority
Clear Abyss Sect.
Li Mo carried a vegetable basket out of the main hall of the main peak, intending to return to the Autumn Water Pavilion first. But as soon as he descended the main peak, he saw Xiao Qin waiting for him not far away.
A scar running across his eye added a touch of shrewdness to his composed face, but upon seeing Li Mo, he revealed his familiar smile.
"The Wind-Slashing Broken Sword?"
Li Mo joked with a smile.
Old Xiao, who was about to be eliminated from the outer sect, is now a rising star on the Hidden Dragon Ranking. Don't be fooled by his high ranking; it's because he has cheat codes.
Getting into the top 100 young talents in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths is no easy feat.
Xiao Qin tossed him a wine jug and replied with a smile:
"A wife who brings good fortune..."
"Cough cough!"
"Uh, the God Hammer..."
"Let's call it the first one then."
Li Mo took a couple of sips of wine and looked at Xiao Qin with a hint of envy.
Look at him, how come his nickname sounds so good? Although Old Xiao has only barely made it onto the Hidden Dragon Ranking, in the future when he travels the martial arts world, as soon as he announces his name, everyone will have to stand in awe.
As for himself... the moment he announced his name, the whole audience burst into laughter...
"It's just an empty title, Brother Li, why bother with it? Those two nicknames are actually... quite nice to hear."
"Old Xiao, it's hard to hold it in, just laugh if you want to."
Li Mo sighed.
Old Xiao has a somewhat serious personality and doesn't usually smile.
Unless you can't help it.
A moment later, Xiao Qin wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, smiled for a moment, then fell silent again. He had just gone to the main hall of the main peak and learned what had happened.
The two of them took turns drinking, silently taking sips.
After drinking until his whole body felt hot, Xiao Qin finally exhaled a long breath of white air.
"You're so stupid, really. Even if it wasn't Little Jiang today, you probably wouldn't have just stood by and watched."
"There are too many injustices in the martial world. If we tried to handle them all, how could we possibly manage them all? You even dared to hit the Crown Prince."
"No one was hit."
Li Mo shrugged.
Xiao Qin sighed and said helplessly, "If you hadn't really intended to make a move, why would the Seventh Realm Profound Mastery have shown up?"
"Profound Mastery, once you start fighting, your power will be earth-shattering."
"Even after you've seen the world, you're still the same..."
Xiao Qin suddenly frowned and spat, "Where did this sand come from in this broken gourd!"
He put away the gourd and took out a booklet from his pocket.
"If you really want to travel far away, I know of a route in the Western Regions that the Great Yu can't control. The customs and traditions there are all written in this book. Take it back and have a look."
He left the booklet, waved, and turned to leave.
Li Mo opened the booklet, glanced at it, and chuckled to himself.
Xiao Qin looks different, but he's still the same Old Xiao, still so taciturn.
He probably secretly hopes that one day he can dethrone Jiang Yu from the top of the Hidden Dragon Ranking, right?
The booklet clearly stated:
<Thousand Forms Art>
Li Mo carefully stored away the first divine skill he had truly obtained without the system, and then returned to the Autumn Water Pavilion.
Autumn Water Pavilion had been swept clean and spotless, just as it had been when they left.
The beautiful master, dressed in palace attire, lay on a recliner, squinting as she drank. There was no sun today; I wonder what she was sunbathing for.
The snow-covered Ice Block of white, became a striking feature of the Autumn Water Pavilion. She lowered her eyes, sipping tea and reading, exuding tranquility and serenity.
"You're back."
Shang Wu sprang up from the recliner to check what vegetables were in the basket.
Ying Bing raised her eyes, looked at Li Mo for a few seconds, and then asked softly:
"Something happened?"
Li Mo: "!"
He hasn't said anything yet!
Heavenly Mandate Divine Eye couldn't have been this fast!
"Yeah, it's caused quite a bit of trouble."
Li Mo nodded obediently.
"Oh?"
Shang Wu's beautiful face lit up with excitement, and her eyes filled with satisfaction as she looked at her apprentice.
It gives the feeling that the apprentice has grown up.
"What trouble have you gotten yourself into? Tell me."
"..."
Li Mo glanced at his carefree master and recounted the whole story.
Shang Wu leaned back slightly, gave a thumbs-up, and nudged her apprentice's shoulder with her elbow:
"Well done, kid. I thought you didn't like causing trouble, but you gave me such a big surprise all at once. You truly are my disciple."
"Don't be arrogant."
The image of a powerful female boss praising her underling evokes a sense of absurdity.
Li Mo coughed lightly and naturally continued the conversation:
"Yes, I will keep trying..."
"Um?"
Ying Bing looked at him with clear, gentle eyes, her delicate brows furrowing slightly.
"Cough..."
Li Mo calmed down and realized his words were inappropriate. He'd almost punched the Crown Prince, and he was still going at it?
Ying Bing lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment before softly saying:
"Well done."
This time, it was Little Li's turn to be stunned. When did Ice Block start acting like his master, praising him even after causing trouble?
Ying Bing put down her teacup and said quietly, "Many things that are inevitable are troublesome; so let's just face the trouble."
He's just the crown prince.
It's not like she hasn't fought before.
"!"
Li Mo hadn't seen that hint of domineering arrogance that Ice Block inadvertently revealed in a long time.
"Yes, for example, an uprising."
Shang Wu stroked her chin, squinted her almond-shaped eyes, and said like a cunning strategist, "The time has come. Why don't we take this opportunity to ambush a town of troops on the main peak tomorrow, wipe out Jiang Yu, and then seize this chance to rise up in rebellion!"
"My dear disciple, you have money and supplies, you're the Divine Hammer Little Overlord, and you even have Little Bing to assist you. What great things can't you accomplish?"
"So, Master, which area are you mainly responsible for?"
Li Mo's lips twitched slightly.
Shang Wu replied matter-of-factly, "Don't you know that rebellions always require a legitimate reason?"
"So?"
"If I become your retired emperor, then you'll have a legitimate claim!"
"..."
Li Mo suddenly realized that Elder Han He's suggestion to get his master drunk and lock him up wasn't entirely due to personal grudges.
He silently took out two bottles of Immortal Drunk and handed them to Shang Wu.
I'm a little hungry.
When Ying Bing said this, her jade-like face seemed to show a bit more seriousness.
The kitchen of the Autumn Water Pavilion has welcomed back its head chef, Chef Li.
She gazed at the smoke rising from the kitchen, her Ice Mirror Eyes slightly narrowed.
"Jiang Yu has two sword attendants, Qingque and Qingque, both from the Heavenly Mountain Sword Villa Danzhi. They are skilled in combined attacks and are ranked on the Human Ranking."
"How many moves can they withstand in a two-on-one fight?"
"My current level is still too low... there are still many things I can't do..."
Ying Bing picked up Heavenly Frost and Moon-in-Mid-Autumn, and danced lightly in the courtyard, bathed in the newly set moonlight.
The sword techniques used with the left and right hands were completely different, going in opposite directions.
