Qing Mo rose to fame at the Azure Martial Empire’s literary gathering, then avenged Xiao Yayun’s family and brought her into his service. After schemes involving Yun Zhiyi and a brutal expedition through the Nine Jade Heavenly Pool, he left the secret realm with Xiao Yayun while Yun Zhiyi prepared to pursue him again.
Qing Mo and Yun Zhiyi’s relationship changed when Yun Zhiyi abandoned her attempt to kill him, and Qing Mo then traveled with Mo Yanyu and He Xi to Tang-era Chang'an. He helped Li Shimin and Li Chengqian avert future crises and set plans for trade, territorial expansion, and railways in motion.
Qing Mo guided Li Chengqian through agricultural advances, railway construction, and a journey into Li Longji’s era. Li Chengqian and Li Shande reached Lingnan to fulfill the lychee order, where obstruction from Governor He Youguang and evidence about Sea Tiger’s death drew Zheng Ping'an into a secret investigation.
Li Chengqian and Qing Mo brought Li Shimin’s forces into the Tianbao Era, punished Li Longji and his corrupt officials, and brought Zheng Ping’an, Li Shande, and Zhao Xinmin into the Zhenguan Era. The court then investigated temples and planned overseas kingdoms and a newspaper to weaken the great clans, leaving Li Shimin preparing to reshape Tang’s future.
Qing Mo helped Li Shimin reform the court, introduce newspapers and new technology, and prepare a modernized army for war against Goguryeo. After swift victories and tense dealings with Silla and Baekje, the Tang army faced fierce resistance at Liaodong City while Qing Mo arranged plans for the peninsula’s future.
Qing Mo helped Li Shimin conquer Goguryeo and Japan, then steered the court toward overseas expansion, a lunar landing, and Tang Jian’s circumnavigation. The arc ended with Qing Mo explaining how the Black Tortoise Gate succession system sustained the Tang Dynasty and bargaining with Li Shimin for a future plan.
Qing Mo left the Tang Dynasty and traveled with his companions through the Sky Jade Divine Domain, destroying hostile families and helping the Gu siblings rebuild their lives. Su Ruizhi finally caught up with the group and learned that Qing Mo’s master, Wan Tianjue, was alive.
Qing Mo reconciled the Master of Myriad Daos with Su Ruizhi, settled conflicts in the Sky Jade Divine Domain, and traveled to modern worlds. In Great Xia, he revived Qin Mo and began forcing the Gu Family to answer for years of abuse, leaving them under his rules as he prepared to take control of the Gu Group.
Qin Mo exacted revenge on the Gu Family before revealing himself as Qing Mo and leaving for Sakura. In Beika, Qing Mo built a new life, pursued the world’s origin, and drew Vermouth and Akari into his affairs while suspecting another outsider had arrived.
Qing Mo defeated Zhou Hao and the Reincarnation Emperor, then plundered worlds and returned with new companions and treasures. He reunited Ai Haibara with her sister briefly, joined his household to Vermouth’s, forged an alliance with the Black Organization, and left the stretch with Akai Mary captured.
Qing Mo expanded his household and organization, resurrected Miyano Akemi, and drew new recruits into his plans. The arc ended with Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Genta murdered after they followed drug dealers, and Conan confronting Qing Mo over their deaths.
Qing Mo helped the Winery eliminate its enemies, while Conan lost friends and allies and was forced to leave Japan. The story then shifted to Qing Mo and his companions pursuing wealth and power, ending with Qing Mo noticing something hidden beneath a treasury pillar.
Qing Mo turned Ye Linyuan’s extraordinary fortune into a way to gather treasures for his companions, while Ingrid and the others explored the Creek Cloud Ruins and uncovered a hidden ancient ruin. The group claimed valuable spoils and continued deeper into the ruins as Ye Linyuan was drawn into another scheme in Extreme Bewilderment Star City.
Qing Mo and his companions crushed Ye Linyuan’s plans, settled Feng Shayan’s revenge, and recruited Luo Hou, whose dangerous physique led Qing Mo to place him inside Supreme Yao Divine Palace. Luo Hou won Qin Shiya’s favor, then secretly unleashed his demonic power on the disciples accompanying him in the forest.
Luo Hou deceived and manipulated Qin Shiya before revealing his identity as Thunderclap Hand Wen Tailai, and she accepted their secret relationship. Qing Mo entered the world of Great Qin, transformed Ying Zheng, strengthened the state, and ended the arc by rescuing the pregnant Jing Ni.
Qing Mo strengthened Great Qin with new cultivation, industries, and plans for expansion while gathering allies and confronting threats. In Han State, he won Tide Enchantress’s loyalty, but Han Fei’s reforms and the kingdom’s weakness left its future uncertain.
Qing Mo rescued Yan Lingji, secured new allies, and used his power and political schemes to shape events in Han, Wei, and Qin. The arc ended with Han ceding Nanyang to Qin, while Wei Zhuang killed Straw Cloak and the dispute over his actions remained unresolved.
