Whoosh!
Before the female disciple had finished speaking, Lin Mo had already vanished.
Strictly speaking, he had not truly vanished. He was simply moving so fast that he exceeded the limits of what their naked eyes could capture!
They could sense Lin Mo's presence and detect his aura. They knew he was nearby, perhaps even within arm's reach.
Yet they could neither see him nor pinpoint his position. With his aura lingering around them, they felt as though a ghost were haunting them, their scalps prickling and their hair standing on end!

Standing atop the Nine-Colored Auspicious Cloud, he felt as though he possessed a peculiar domain. Everything in his field of vision became extraordinarily clear, down to every speck of dust floating in the air.
Even more astonishingly, this domain seemed to affect the flow of time. The movements of the seven female disciples of the Silken Cloud Palace had become incredibly slow, like turtles crawling!
"No... it isn't affecting the flow of time. I'm simply moving too fast."
After observing for a moment, Lin Mo quickly determined what was happening.
The Nine-Colored Auspicious Cloud's flight speed was so terrifying that it created the illusion of time slowing down. In truth, the flow of time had not changed at all, either for him or for the world outside!

When the Nine-Colored Auspicious Cloud first acknowledged its master, she had not fully believed it. Like the female disciples, she had even assumed Lin Mo had employed some special secret art.
Only now did she finally understand that the supreme Sacred Treasure passed down through the Silken Cloud
