Chapter Seven Hundred and Twenty Four – An Unexpected Occurrence

Zuo Mo’s murderous intent was great but he forced it down. It was not a good time to enter the fray now.

Yet at this moment, a grey shadow suddenly flashed across his vision, and Zuo Mo’s expression changed dramatically!

A Gui!

A Gui seemed to appear out of thin air behind Lu Han. Her hand that flashed with purple energy soundlessly pressed against Lu Han’s back.

Lu Han did not seem to detect it and continued to sprint forward. The purple handprint on his back created an eerie purple streak of light in the night.

He went just three more zhang and the purple light continued to corrode Lu Han’s body. But Lu Han didn’t seem to detect it and flew forward. Patches of purple energy disappeared in the air like leaves swept up by the wind. What disappeared with them was Lu Han’s body.

Everyone who saw this felt as though an icy wind swept across their hearts and their hairs stood up.

The stony-faced Rare Artifact Hall head guard’s expression changed.

Zuo Mo also changed expression at the same time. He thought, this was bad. He didn’t know why A Gui suddenly attacked Lu Han. A Gui was functioning on pure instinct, and she definitely had felt something! Had Lu Han in the past… …

Zuo Mo shook his head. This was not the time to think about this. It definitely wasn’t possible to conceal A Gui’s unexpected attack. There were two more people hiding in the shadows that would have seen her.

Their identities would be soon exposed.

Zuo Mo took a deep breath and calmed the shock inside. His mind was peerlessly calm. There wasn’t much time left to him. He needed to finish the setup before these people managed to react.

Right now, there wasn’t enough time to run away. Those that were gathering were the strongest experts in the world. The probability of running away from these people was almost zero. Also, the Reverse Shadow Soul Silkgrass was almost here. If he ran away now, all of his efforts would have been for waste.

Zuo Mo said gravely, “Go, hurry to Grave Ghost Mound!”

At this time, he did not hide his strength and flew with all his power.

A Gui, Ceng Lian’er and Qinghua Xue heard this, didn’t hesitate and flew at full power.

A hint of shock flashed across the face of the Rare Artifact Hall head guard before his expression became indifferent again. “All of you, return first.”

“Daren!” The other guards said panickedly.

“You will not be able to participate in the upcoming battles.” Then he leapt off the mo steed to chase after Zuo Mo and the others.

The other guards looked at each other. One person quickly said, “We need to hurry back to report to Boss!”

The group did not hesitate and hurriedly returned.

———

Zuo Mo looked at the head guard that had caught up to them. He was slightly surprised and said, “You don’t have to enter this mess!”

“I will naturally finish what Boss has ordered,” the head guard said gravely.

A hint of admiration flashed through Zuo Mo’s eyes. “What is Sir’s name?”

“Kuai An,” the head guard said coolly.

Zuo Mo nodded and didn’t speak further. The group focused on travelling.

———

Flying at top speed, they managed to cover seven hundred li in less than two hours.

“This is the Grave Ghost Mound,” Kuai An said.

Without Kuai An’s words, Zuo Mo would still know they reached their destination. This place was so heavy with yin energy that he could feel it from far away. Zuo Mo was slightly surprised. Such thick yin energy would not have naturally formed. He could feel the thick death energy mixed within it.

He couldn’t help but ask, “What is the history of this place?”

“Supposedly, during the ancient era, a great battle of over ten tribes occurred here. Countless warriors fell on this place, and their ghosts were difficult to dissipate and turned into spectres and yin fiends. However, that is just a rumor, and there is no evidence,” Kuai An said expressionlessly.

Zuo Mo looked down and murmured to himself, “It probably isn’t just a rumor.”

Kuai An’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Zuo Mo did not look at Kuai An. His gaze swept across the Grave Ghost Mound. This place fulfilled all of his needs. It had mountains, water, and there was the smell of sulphur in the air which meant that this place had earth fire. The yin river here had been corroded by the yin energy for a lengthy amount of time and really was a river of yin energy now.

Speaking just in terms of environment, this place was very suited to setting up the [King’s Forbidden Firmament]. The yin river was an unexpected surprise and could greatly increase the power of the jinzhi.

But for some reason, Zuo Mo felt a thread of anxiousness.

Zuo Mo shook his head and threw the thread of uncertainly behind him. Even if there was something strange here, it could not compare to the immediate and apparent threat from the experts that would soon arrive.

Mo Shen Temple, Kun Lun, all the mo marshals, the Yao Council of Elders … …

There was no need to count all of them, just these few was enough to rob people of courage.

Zuo Mo did not feel any fear at all. Even though A Gui’s sudden attack had messed up all of his preparations, he felt relieved of a heavy burden. He no longer needed to be careful, did not need to conceal himself. It was as though he had thrown away all of the chains and qualms weighing him down, and he felt unspeakably relaxed.

Thinking about how he was about to fight against the top experts famed in the world, fighting spirit filled his heart and his body with endless strength.

To contend against the heroes of the world with just his own power!

Just thinking about it caused his blood to boil!

———

“So Elder, you knew that Xiao Yun Hai was Xiao Mo Ge already.” The young mo god had an enchanting smile on his face. He stood there lazily as though he was about to lay down and sleep.

The old man that was in front of him grinned to show his missing and yellow teeth. “I would never admit that.”
