Urban Powerhouse: Chaos Supreme

After leaving the private room, Liu Qingyang suddenly called out to Lin Mo, ”Mr. Lin, wait a moment.”

Lin Mo and the Rain King stopped, turned around, looked at Liu Qingyang, and then looked at the Rain King and said, ”Rain King, wait for me downstairs at the tavern, Da Shan, you too.”

”Yes, Young Master.” Da Shan nodded and walked directly toward the lower floor of the tavern.

”Alright, hurry up, I’ll be waiting for you.” The Rain King nodded and walked downstairs with Luo Yu’er.

Liu Qingyang also glanced at Shao Wenfeng and Wu Mi beside him, ”Brother Shao, Wu Mi, you two go wait for me downstairs at the tavern, I want to talk to Mr. Lin alone for a few words.”

”Alright, Qingyang, make it quick.” Shao Wenfeng nodded and then walked past Lin Mo with Wu Mi, though Shao Wenfeng’s gaze lingered on Lin Mo’s face meaningfully.

In the corridor outside the private room, only Lin Mo and Liu Qingyang were left.

”Mr. Lin, long time no see.” Liu Qingyang approached Lin Mo and said softly.

”It has indeed been a long time.” Lin Mo nodded.

Twenty years is not long for a cultivator, as some can enter seclusion for hundreds of years, but for ordinary people living on Earth, twenty years is a significant period of time.

Liu Qingyang was silent for a while and then said, ”Was it really you, Lin Tanyu, who killed Yin Shang?”

”It was me.” Lin Mo said, puzzled. Liu Qingyang’s expression became a bit strange, containing a hint of peculiarity, suspicion, or perhaps disappointment. ”Mr. Lin, on Earth, you are the foremost among humans and the Master of Sword Heart Martial Arts Hall. Even after joining Mystic Realm Sect,

you shone brightly, but sometimes one must face reality.”

”Reality?” Lin Mo sneered, ”What, you don’t believe I killed Yin Shang?” ”It’s hard to believe, considering your current strength...” Liu Qingyang pursed his lips and didn’t say it directly, ”Mr. Lin, the Dark Demon Sea is extremely dangerous, you should leave here as soon as possible; sometimes being an ordinary person is not a bad choice

.”

Lin Mo smiled faintly, feeling that Liu Qingyang had changed a lot since they last met, with some distance growing between them.

”Thank you for your kindness.” Lin Mo didn’t want to explain anything, just nodded.

Liu Qingyang no longer spoke and walked quickly toward the tavern, then went downstairs, leaving with Shao Wenfeng and Wu Mi along the street.

At the bottom of the tavern, the Rain King, Luo Yu’er, and Da Shan stood waiting as Lin Mo came down too.

”So, what did Liu Qingyang say to you?” The Rain King came over, sighing, ”Back when you were at the Mystic Realm Sect, Liu Qingyang and you were close... but in recent years he’s gotten close to Shao Wenfeng.”

”Don’t misunderstand, Qingyang and I are just friends, she was merely kindly reminding me.” Lin Mo smiled faintly.

He told Liu Qingyang that he was indeed the one who killed Yin Shang, but she didn’t believe him. If he were to tell her now that he was one of the Twelve Venerables, she likely wouldn’t believe that either.

Some things aren’t worth explaining if others won’t believe them anyway.

”What about you and them?” Lin Mo looked at the Rain King, then at Luo Yu’er.

”They go their way, we go ours, although we’re all from Mystic Realm Sect, I can’t stand that Shao Wenfeng, the hypocrite.” Rain King snorted coldly.

Lin Mo chuckled, didn’t respond, but looked at the Rain King and Luo Yu’er, with a half-smile, ”The relationship between you two seems quite good.”

”Hehe.” The Rain King laughed heartily and scratched his head. Luo Yu’er’s cool face turned red.

No need to say, even a fool could see that their relationship was not simple anymore.

”Twenty years, so many changes, after this trip to the Dark Demon Sea, I should go back to Earth and take a look.” Lin Mo murmured to himself.

...

In a quiet little courtyard in the city.

The shadows of the trees swayed gently, the cool light [there is no moon, but there are other luminous meteorites above the mainland], comes through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled shadows and a cool glow.

A small Lin table, with a wine pot and cups placed on it.

”Come, Mr. Lin, drink, drink.” The Rain King raised his wine cup, ”It’s been so long since we drank so heartily, we haven’t seen each other in over twenty years.”

Lin Mo also raised his wine cup, nodded, ”Yes, meeting an old friend in a distant land is worth a hearty drink.”

The two toasted.

”Mr. Lin, over the past twenty years, your… your cultivation?” The Rain King put down his cup, his face changed slightly, couldn’t help but ask.

Lin Mo smiled, ”Although I haven’t obtained the Heavenly Dao Laws, I’ve found a way to break through the bottleneck, so don’t worry.”

Hearing this, the Rain King was stunned for a moment, then opened his eyes wide and said, ”You mean you’ve broken through the bottleneck, but your current strength?”

”My strength? It’s a long story, but rest assured, even if facing a Star Domain level powerhouse, I have no fear.” Lin Mo chuckled.

”You’re not afraid of a Star Domain level strength?” The Rain King’s eyes widened.

Lin Mo said, ”Yin Shang was indeed killed by me, but when I tell them, they still don’t believe it.”

The Rain King said seriously, ”They may not believe it, but I believe in you. You always manage to create miracles, I believe you.” ”Yeah.” Lin Mo happily poured wine, filled up two cups, and said, ”Being watched and judged by many, focusing too much on others’ thoughts, curses, disdain, how can one live happily,

Having one or two confidants in life is enough.”

The two drank, chatted.

Joyful, happy.

In over twenty years, this was the first time Lin Mo felt so cheerful, meeting old friends, feeling at ease.

”You’re right, who cares what those damn fools think, having one or two confidants in this life is enough, truly enough.” The Rain King laughed heartily, drinking happily.

”Why didn’t Lord Tao and Chen Yan come with you?” Lin Mo, while drinking, asked curiously.

Those two, Chen Yan, among many geniuses from Earth, was one of the most brilliant, only overshadowed by him and Lord Tao, while Lord Tao should have had no reason not to come to the Dark Demon Sea for training.

”Those two fellows.” The Rain King laughed, ”You know both of them are rebellious, they’ve gone their separate ways, unwilling to join us, but sooner or later, they’ll shine in the Dark Demon Sea.” ”Yeah, I haven’t seen Lord Tao for a long time, that guy’s strength must be even more terrifying now.” Lin Mo felt a bit excited, his old rival, that powerful man, unwilling to fall behind, after twenty years, should be even

more formidable now.

The Rain King smiled mysteriously, ”When you see him, you might get a big surprise.”

The Rain King offered a hint, and Lin Mo looked even more forward to it.

”By the way, did you come to the Dark Demon Sea this time to join the Star Sky Alliance?” Lin Mo raised his wine cup and drank.

The Rain King shook his head, gave a wry smile, ”Yu’er and I came to the Dark Demon Sea just for training, we’ve just broken through to the Star System Level Early Stage, where do we have the qualification to compete for the selection of the Star Sky Alliance, this time we’re just here to practice.”
