The next day, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Lin Mo sat cross-legged at the confluence of the ice and fire springs, where the two completely opposite Heaven and Earth Origin Power were maintaining a delicate balance.
The surrounding spring water is half milky white and half Red, with wisps of mist rising from where they meet.
Lin Mo slowly raised his eyes and looked at the six golden beads floating around him.
These beads are crystal clear, and upon close inspection, one can discover that they contain countless fine golden mists inside.
God-Given Soul Ring!
There are still six in total!
These six God-Given Soul Ring were rewards given to Lin Mo by the Sea God after he passed the Ultimate Invincible Special Edition Top Level Eight Trials.
Scarlet Phoenix Wings burst forth from his body, their broad feathers unfurling behind him, and two Soul Ring, one red and one gold, slowly appeared beneath Lin Mo's feet.
Lin Mo looked up at the six God-Given Soul Ring in front of him, took a deep breath, and no longer hesitated.
Soon, a scene that would leave everyone speechless unfolded.
Lin Mo Crush Grip all six beads that contained the God-Given Soul Ring at the same time.
He's going to absorb six God-Given Soul Ring at the same time!
The moment these beads shattered, the incredibly dense golden mist sealed within them exploded with a deafening roar.
The mist completely enveloped Lin Mo, forming a golden sphere, and not a single drop escaped to the outside.
The moment Lin Mo absorbed the golden mist into his body, his figure swelled slightly.
However, the abnormality quickly subsided.
The power of the God-Given Soul Ring that surged into Lin Mo's body was quickly locked in place by his body.
Lin Mo's body has undergone numerous tempering and enhancements, and his physical attributes have long since reached an extremely terrifying level.
Let alone the simultaneous eruption of the power of six enhanced God-Given Soul Ring within him, even if there were several more, they would still obediently submit.
The interior of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well returned to its former tranquility.
There are two sides to the story.
Spirit City, Douluo Hall.
Qian Daoliu held a newly delivered intelligence report in his hand, shaking his head from time to time, a sigh on his face.
A moment later, he looked at the Douluo waiting below and gave the order, "Go and call Xiao Xue over."
"Yes." The silent Douluo bowed, accepted the order, and turned to leave the hall.
Qian Daoliu looked at the intelligence report in his hand again and shook his head once more.
The information recorded here is about Bibi Dong leading a group of Titled Douluo to hunt two forest kings and a transformed Soul Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest, but suffering a crushing defeat.
Bibi Dong led her people into the Star Dou Great Forest, their target being the two forest kings, the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, along with a Hundred-Thousand-Year Transformed Soul Beast.
This should have been a sure- Soul Hunting Operation.
Bibi Dong personally took charge, which wasn't enough; she even mobilized several Titled Douluo to ensure everything went smoothly.
But no one expected the final outcome to be like this.
A crushing defeat!
Bibi Dong intentionally concealed this defeat to prevent its adverse effects from spreading.
Unfortunately, although the expedition involved a large number of people, very few returned, and even many Titled Douluo were lost.
Such a situation naturally could not be hidden from others.
Not to mention that although she wanted to hide it, Dugu Yan and her group had no intention of hiding it for her.
Dugu Yan and the others wouldn't intentionally leak information, but the fragmented details they revealed were enough for others to determine what Bibi Dong and her group encountered while Soul Hunting in the Star Dou Great Forest.
They first pursued the two forest kings, but unfortunately lost a Titled Douluo.
Later, because the two forest kings and the transformed Soul Beast fell into Lin Mo's hands, they clashed with Lin Mo.
Bibi Dong, relying on the presence of several Titled Douluo by her side, wanted to Snatch her prey from Lin Mo and also wipe out Lin Mo and his group.
According to the intelligence report, she even launched a surprise Sucker Punch, hoping to catch Lin Mo off guard.
Although Bibi Dong seized the initiative and tried to nip Lin Mo in the bud, she did not expect to be killed instantly by Lin Mo with a single sword strike.
Qian Daoliu could only imagine the magnificence of that sword strike.
Judging from Lin Mo's true strength, if he were to unleash a single sword strike, Bibi Dong would likely be severely injured without even having a chance to react.
Although the information relayed by Ye Lingling and the other girls deliberately exaggerated Lin Mo's combat strength, it also shows that Bibi Dong is no match for Lin Mo.
Moreover... I wonder if Lin Mo is considering Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong's shared membership in the Spirit Hall.
Lin Mo did not kill Bibi Dong and her group; in fact, one could say he showed them exceptional mercy.
After severely injuring Bibi Dong, they did not choose to pursue and kill her.
Lin Mo did not take the lives of those Titled Douluo he had frozen into ice sculptures.
Although they were temporarily frozen into ice sculptures and unable to move in the short term, only able to perceive the outside world through consciousness, they at least retained their lives.
Not only these Titled Douluo, but even the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, Hu Liena, was taken back to the Dugu Manor by Dugu Yan and placed under her supervision.
Hu Liena cooperated, so Dugu Yan didn't make things difficult for her.
She was simply not allowed to leave the Dugu Manor.
Before long, Qian Renxue, who was in seclusion cultivating, arrived in front of Qian Daoliu, led by Douluo.
Qian Renxue wore a plain white dress, and her long golden hair reached her waist.
"Grandpa, you wanted to see me?" Qian Renxue bowed slightly.
She was in seclusion cultivating and should not have come out of seclusion unless Qian Daoliu had summoned her.
Qian Daoliu beckoned. " Xiao Xue, take a look."
Qian Daoliu handed the intelligence in his hand to Qian Renxue, who was not far away.
"This is..."
Qian Renxue took the information with a puzzled look and began to read it.
Time stands still in the mountains.
Recently, she has devoted all her energy to cultivation and is completely unaware of the situation outside.
However, as she looked at the intelligence report in her hand, she became increasingly alarmed, and a look of lingering fear appeared on her face.
She never expected that Bibi Dong and Lin Mo would run into each other while Soul Hunting in the Star Dou Great Forest, and she certainly never expected that the two groups would clash.
What terrified Qian Renxue most was that, under these circumstances, even if Lin Mo killed Bibi Dong, no one would say anything.
After all, it was Bibi Dong who made the first move.
But if that were to actually happen, she would be devastated.
Although she was unwilling to admit it, Bibi Dong was, after all, her mother; it's just that very few people knew this.
Lin Mo is her destined partner who will ascend to the Divine Realm with her in the future.
If Lin Mo really kills Bibi Dong, she truly doesn't know how to face Lin Mo, or how to face herself.
Thankfully, the worst didn't happen.
Lin Mo's sword strike only severely injured Bibi Dong; it did not take her life.
Qian Renxue was extremely puzzled: Why did Lin Mo show mercy this time?
It's important to know that the relationship between Lin Mo and Bibi Dong was far from good; in fact, it could be described as terrible.
After all, before Lin Mo's strength had matured and his talent had been revealed, Bibi Dong sent Chrysanthemum Douluo to "invite" Lin Mo to Spirit City.
The purpose was to inquire about his cultivation method for the Fire Dragon Martial Soul.
He said "please" on the surface, but at that time Lin Mo had no right to refuse.
If she hadn't received the message and arrived in time to support Lin Mo in her true colors, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Bibi Dong was prevented from resorting to even more egregious methods; otherwise, the relationship between Lin Mo and Bibi Dong would likely be even worse now.
Seeing the puzzled look on Qian Renxue's face, Qian Daoliu asked, " Xiao Xue, you must have also noticed the strangeness in this intelligence report."
"Although Bibi Dong is strong, Lin Mo's strength has already reached an unbelievable level."
His ability to easily defeat Bibi Dong, caught off guard, was exactly what I expected.
But his decision to spare Bibi Dong's life was unexpected.
After Qian Daoliu finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Qian Renxue.
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue nodded, her face also filled with confusion.
But suddenly an absurd thought popped into her mind.
Could it be that Lin Mo Frisk her relationship with Bibi Dong, which is why he showed mercy?
Otherwise, given Lin Mo's ruthless and decisive nature, he would never have shown any mercy!
As a ruthless individual who emerged from the Slaughter City, how could he possibly hesitate and choose to show mercy when given the opportunity to eliminate Bibi Dong, who had once tripped him up and even threatened his Life?
However, the thought of this possibility only amplified Qian Renxue's doubts.
After all... very few people know the true nature of her relationship with Bibi Dong.
Although the two are mother and daughter, she usually calls Bibi Dong "elder sister," simply to disgust her.
Although she didn't say it outright, Qian Renxue still harbored many grievances against Bibi Dong.
He resented her neglect and indifference towards him over the years.
Every time I called out "Sister," I saw Bibi Dong's expression suddenly change.
Qian Renxue always managed to find some twisted pleasure in it to soothe herself.
But Lin Mo could never possibly know the true nature of his relationship with Bibi Dong.
She never mentioned this to Lin Mo.
Moreover, those who know about this are unlikely to publicize it to the outside world.
After all, family scandals should not be aired in public.
But if that weren't the case, why would Lin Mo be so merciful as to let Bibi Dong go?
Just because he's also a member of the Spirit Hall, is he willing to make an exception for him?
That's even more impossible.
Thinking of this, a look of anxiety appeared on Qian Renxue's face.
She glanced outside the hall; she had to ask him directly, she didn't want to wait until next time.
This time, Lin Mo showed Bibi Dong.
But if the two of them meet again on the battlefield, will Lin Mo still show mercy?
Regardless of who killed whom, she, caught in the middle, is doomed.
Seeing his granddaughter like this, Qian Daoliu shook his head helplessly. " Xiao Xue, you should just focus on your cultivation from now on."
"You should go and persuade Bibi Dong to stop having any thoughts of being enemies with Lin Mo."
"As for those who fell into Lin Mo's hands, their lives are safe, so there's no need to worry about them for now."
"And Xiao Xue, don't bother Lin Mo anytime soon."
"Why is this?" Qian Renxue asked anxiously.
She didn't understand why her grandfather was stopping her!
Doesn't Grandpa understand the implications of this?
Lin Mo has gone into seclusion to cultivate.
Qian Daoliu explained, "This was sent over by someone from Dugu Yan."
According to her, Lin Mo's seclusion this time will last at least three to five months, and possibly as long as a year and a half.
At this point, Qian Daoliu sighed inwardly again.
He already knew about Lin Mo taking in the transformed Soul Beast.
This is no secret.
Ah Yin has been revived by Lin Mo and is now working under his command as a "laborer".
Now there's just one more Soft Bone Rabbit.
According to their investigation, Lin Mo and Xiao Wu had known each other for a long time.
The two were even classmates at the same junior Soul Master Academy.
It's perfectly normal for Lin Mo to be willing to protect her.
Not to mention what Lin Mo wants to do, is there anyone in this world who can stop him now?
Even if we know that Lin Mo has two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast that have been reborn as humans, so what?
Which Titled Douluo would dare to forcibly seize something from the Dugu Manor?
"I understand, Grandpa. I'll try to persuade Bibi Dong." Qian Renxue took a deep breath.
Their gaze, however, shifted once again to the outside of the hall.
She needed to talk to both Bibi Dong and Lin Mo to get things cleared up.
Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Meanwhile, on the other side...
Dugu Manor.
Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing were chatting idly in a secluded courtyard.
The side courtyard is not large, but it is decorated in an elegant and comfortable manner, with several green bamboos planted in the corner.
Xiao Wu has recently settled down at the Dugu Manor.
The two were chatting casually about their experiences over the years and their feelings after their separation.
Today, Xiao Wu is still wearing that pink dress, and her long hair is braided into a scorpion braid that reaches down to her hips.
Zhu Zhuqing was dressed in a black outfit, looking exceptionally capable and efficient.
The Star Luo Empire is now on the right track, and all the ministers in the court are performing their duties.
As the Empress of the Star Luo Empire, her absence from the court during this period will not affect the normal operation of the empire.
During this time, Zhu Zhuqing chose to stay at the Dugu Manor mainly to chat with Xiao Wu and help her resolve her inner conflicts.
Xiao Wu had just returned to human society from the Star Dou Great Forest, and her childhood friends, the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, had just died.
It's inevitable to feel a little uneasy.
In Zhu Zhuqing's opinion, having someone by her side to talk to always make things a little better.
Furthermore, Zhu Zhuqing wanted to use this time to study the changes in her Martial Soul.
After absorbing the Soul Ring and Soul Bone provided by the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's "friendship," her Nether Civet Martial Soul underwent a significant upgrade.
However, it would be more accurate to describe it as a Martial Soul Evolution rather than an improvement.
Just like when Lin Mo's Martial Soul evolved from Charmander into Charmeleon, the improvement was considerable!
" Zhu Zhuqing, what changes have you seen in your Martial Soul?" Xiao Wu asked, resting her chin on her hand.
Zhu Zhuqing: "I'm still exploring, but what I can confirm right now is that there have been significant improvements in speed, strength, and attack."
Even the Soul Skill have undergone significant changes.
If my previous Soul Skill were more focused on Sucker Punch and amplification, my current Soul Skill combinations have also given me some ability to launch direct attacks.
He's basically a part-time Power Attack System Battle Soul Master!
"Isn't that great?"
Hearing this, Xiao Wu smiled, but the smile was extremely forced.
