Whoosh!
High in the air, Lin Mo rode the Nine-Colored Auspicious Clouds, hurtling toward the Wei Sea.
This was far from the Nine-Colored Auspicious Clouds' top speed, of course, but it was already well beyond what ordinary Golden Core cultivators could match. If Lin Mo wished, he could even reach the Wei Sea within eight hours.
He had deliberately slowed down because, shortly after he left Divine Wood City, the Gu-Devouring Bee he kept tucked in his sleeve had sensed something unusual.
Before its mutation, this spirit insect had been nothing more than a Venomous Thorn Bee, a common sight in the Cultivation World. Though its attacks were weak, it was extremely sensitive to divine sense, making it a common means of detecting anyone tailing its owner.
With Lin Mo's keen mind, he naturally guessed at once that the person secretly following him was most likely Mu Wang, who had deliberately made trouble for him outside Divine Wood City!
"I wasn't going to bother with him, but he just keeps haunting me like a restless ghost..."
Lin Mo snorted coldly and maintained his current speed, continuing toward the Wei Sea.
If he flew too fast, he would easily shake Mu Wang off; too slowly, and Mu Wang would catch up. Besides, he was only a few thousand miles from Divine Wood City, making this an unsuitable place to strike.
Mu Wang was, after all, a commander of the Divine Wood Guard. Lin Mo knew little about the organization and had no idea what rank a commander held, but judging by the title alone, his standing could hardly be low.
More importantly, when that white-haired elder had appeared earlier, Mu Wang had treated him with considerable respect, yet seemed to feel little awe or fear.
A mere late Golden Core cultivator
