Urban Powerhouse: Chaos Supreme

However, Lu Xing’s face couldn’t help but turn a bit red with a hint of embarrassment upon realizing he wasn’t very familiar with Lin Mo.

”Your master?”

Lin Mo furrowed his brows, then remembered that a year ago, Lu Xing had sought him out, mentioning that his master wanted to meet him.

”Yes, my master is the most famous Magic Master in Hong Kong; he has always asked me to wait here for you,” Lu Xing nodded as he spoke.

”I’m not interested in meeting him.”

Lin Mo firmly declined.

Where did he have the time to meet some Magic Master now?

Lu Xing seemed to have anticipated this refusal; a sly glint appeared in his eyes. ”Just like my master said, you would certainly refuse my request. But what if I tell you that my master knows about the Miao Xue Divine Palace?”

”Miao Xue Divine Palace?”

Lin Mo showed a look of surprise. Xia Mengdie was within the Miao Xue Divine Palace, and the reason he was in such a hurry to return to Huaxia, without even dealing with the Ghost Witch Sect, was to find Xia Mengdie.

However, he had been in Myanmar recently; how would Lu Xing’s master know that he wanted to investigate the Miao Xue Divine Palace? Moreover, his Divine Sense had reached completion, and if someone had followed him, he would have noticed by now unless that person’s strength far exceeded his own, making it impossible for him to sense them.

Suddenly, Lin Mo thought of something—Heaven and Earth Mysterious.

”Your master has some skills,” Lin Mo nodded.

”Alright, I agree to meet your master, but not now. Go back first. I’ll come to find you in a few days; I still have an important matter to attend to,” Lin Mo spoke up.

Lu Xing hesitated, then nodded before turning to leave the villa.

Lin Mo continued to organize his Spiritual Medicines; nourished by an Array, they had grown quite well. Several were ready for Elixir production, but Lin Mo had no time to refine them now, so he stored them all in his Space Ring.

After doing these tasks, Lin Mo glanced at the villa once more, then turned and left without any lingering attachment.

The most important thing for him now was to find Meng Die.

Lin Mo had Lu Xing go back first because he couldn’t leave immediately for Hong Kong; he had an extremely important matter to attend to, and that was to find Yingzi in Emei.

Because of Xia Mengdie’s departure, Lin Mo had almost developed a Heart Demon. Yingzi couldn’t stand to watch that happen, so she had gone to Emei. Now that Lin Mo had seen Xia Mengdie again, he was certain he could find her as long as he tried.

Therefore, Lin Mo needed to make a trip to Emei to bring Yingzi back.

Emei Mountain was in Shu Province, one of Shu Province’s Holy Lands for tourists, who flocked there every year in an endless stream to climb the mountain.

In addition, the Emei Sect also resided on Emei Mountain, though ordinary people were unaware that the Emei Sect, rumored in the Martial World, truly existed.

Lin Mo traveled along mountain roads and secluded village paths, moving straight on, climbing over hills and striding across rivers. In less than half a day, he had reached the base of Emei Mountain.

Emei Mountain was steep with Qi Feng rising prominently; among them, green trees stood densely. It would take at least a day for ordinary people to climb the man-made stone steps to the Golden Summit.

Though it was clearly the off-season for tourism, there were few vehicles parked at the foot of the mountain, and the inns and hotels seemed exceptionally cold. Lin Mo’s divine sense spread out, and although he couldn’t envelop the whole of Emei Mountain, it was more than enough to cover the majority of the main peak. As his divine sense swept over, the entire mountain’s visage clearly appeared in his mind, from a grand scale that allowed him to overlook the whole mountain to minute details like a squirrel gnawing on a pine cone in a tree hollow.

Soon, a faint smile appeared on Lin Mo’s face. Under the cover of his divine sense, he naturally detected Yingzi’s presence.

Lin Mo took steps up the stairs, and with one stride, he was already tens of meters away; the residual image he left behind took a full second to disappear.

However, Lin Mo chose a secluded path to walk on, otherwise ordinary people seeing this would likely be frightened out of their wits.

In just a short time, Lin Mo had climbed to the peak of the mountain, sure enough, he saw a girl in a pink long dress with two black long ponytails standing next to an old pine tree, wielding a short sword, practicing her moves.

Her figure was graceful and vigorous, and as she practiced her martial arts, the short sword in her hand emitted a piercing sound, her movements blending softness with toughness, radiant with vigor.

Against the backdrop of the setting sun, the cliff, the wild grass, the ancient pine, and the girl—all came into view, like a beautiful painting.

”Who dares to spy on me practicing martial arts?” Yingzi cried out softly. She turned and thrust the short sword, a streak of sword qi descended, slashing a mark in the wild grass, which fell apart.

But when Yingzi turned her divine sense and saw the young man standing behind her, her eyes couldn’t help but well up slightly with tears, her entire body’s blood seemed to have frozen, and her pretty face showed a look of surprise, as tears fell like pearls on a thread.

”Master, you’re back!”

With those words, Yingzi threw away the short sword and quickly ran over, her hands tightly embracing Lin Mo as if afraid that he would disappear again.

”Why are you still like a child?”

Lin Mo sighed helplessly, rubbing her head, but his eyes were full of indulgence.

To Lin Mo, he had long since treated Yingzi as his own disciple.

”It’s just that I got a little excited when I saw my master. I thought it would be a long time before you came back or that if you did return, you might have forgotten about Yingzi and wouldn’t come to find me.”

Yingzi looked up, her red eyes portraying a pitiable expression as she spoke to Lin Mo.

”Didn’t I come to find you?” Lin Mo sighed. Yingzi had always been by his side, but last time he had become somewhat despondent, causing Yingzi, who saw his pain and felt it in her heart, to willingly come to Emei Mountain. However, a month after Yingzi arrived at Emei, she returned once, but by the time she got back, Lin Mo had already left the Imperial City for Bin Hai.

”Yes.”

Yingzi nodded like a chick pecking at grains, noticing that Lin Mo’s mood seemed not as down as before and that he had regained some fighting spirit.

But what also amazed her was that she should have been able to sense Lin Mo’s approach with her familiarity with him and her current strength.

However, when Lin Mo stood above her, she was unable to detect him.

Just because Lin Mo now seemed like a very ordinary person, his sharp aura was concealed, and although the sharpness was restrained, he did not carry a heavy sense of vicissitude. Truly, he seemed just like a regular person now.

This state had been described in the Martial Arts Realm as well—Return to Nature.

Having secured her short sword, the two walked shoulder to shoulder towards the Emei Sect. Under the sunset, the wild grass resembled streams of gold, reflecting the silhouettes of the two as they slowly disappeared at the mountaintop.
