The Blood Sword did not dissipate but returned inside Lin Mo…

In an instant, Lin Mo felt a surge of spiritual energy within his body, as if all his meridians were ablaze.

The Glazed Sword sensed the change in Lin Mo and exclaimed in surprise, “There’s demonic energy inside, he’s on the verge of demonic possession…”

For some reason, the Glazed Sword felt that the aura emanating from Lin Mo was very familiar.

It was a sense of déjà vu, yet it couldn’t recall anything.

Lin Mo’s junior sisters, except for Qu Ruyan, were knocked unconscious by the powerful aftershocks the moment he executed the Nameless Sword Technique.

“Senior brother… are you alright?” Lin Mo’s eyes were bloodshot, causing Qu Ruyan to feel a tinge of worry.

“This kid, he’s been bewitched, it’s the perfect tactic for a sneak attack.” The elder Chen Huai noticed Lin Mo’s condition and realized what was happening.

Although surprised that someone from the five great celestial families would practice demonic cultivation techniques.

But this was his chance to eliminate Lin Mo, the only opportunity.

“Senior brother, be careful!” Qu Ruyan warned as she saw the elder attempting to ambush Lin Mo.

As soon as her words fell, a blood-red aura began to emanate from Lin Mo, once again forming a blood sword.

Under the elder’s fearful gaze, he turned into a dried corpse, just like the old Poison Eyebrow Ancestor.

Chen Huai and Wang Sandun were also not in good shape, just a bit away from fainting like Xia He and the others.

They were scared out of their wits, kneeling on the ground, begging Lin Mo for mercy.

Especially Wang Sandun, despite his obese figure, his speed in kowtowing was impressive.

The two knelt there, one after the other, repeatedly begging ‘Young Master, spare our lives’.

But Lin Mo made no move, standing still as if petrified.

Sensing something was off, the two exchanged glances, considering whether to run.

Chen Huai couldn’t hold back any longer, he got up and dashed towards the depths of the forest.

At that moment, Lin Mo slowly regained his senses.

Just as Chen Huai thought he had escaped, a sword qi split his body in two.

“What are you trying to do?” Lin Mo turned around, staring at Wang Sandun who was sneaking up on Qu Ruyan.

How could he not see what this chubby kid was up to?

Like Chen Huai, before he could beg for mercy, he was slain by Lin Mo’s sword.

“Senior brother, what happened to you just now?” Qu Ruyan asked.

“It’s nothing, I’m fine now,” Lin Mo replied.

Qu Ruyan wanted to ask ‘Why did Lin Mo look like that just now’, but this time she stopped her curiosity, covering her mouth tightly with her hands.

Lin Mo was also curious; from the moment he killed the Poison Eyebrow Ancestor, the blood sword returned to his side,

Indeed, demonic energy had begun to grow inside him, and it hadn’t dissipated but had reached a balance with his own spiritual energy.

It is known, since ancient times, immortals and demons do not coexist without reason.

Spiritual energy is for immortals, demonic energy for demons, together they only conflict with each other.

It has never been heard of, someone who can cultivate both immortality and demonhood.

Setting aside his doubts, Lin Mo checked on his fainting junior sisters.

After finding they were not seriously harmed, he curiously stared at Qu Ruyan: “They’ve fainted, why haven’t you?”

Qu Ruyan tilted her head: “Senior brother, just because they’ve fainted, must I faint too?”

Even in the realm of Qi training, Qu Ruyan was only a novice.

Even Xia He, who was on the verge of Foundation Building, had fainted.

Yet she remained unfazed, which defied all logic.

But then again, he had seen Qu Ruyan’s tail.

Do normal people have tails?

Since Qu Ruyan wasn’t normal, her not fainting wasn’t so strange after all.

With that thought, Lin Mo didn’t press further.

Instead, he turned to the corpses to scavenge for spoils of war.

From the storage rings of the four, they amassed over three million and eight hundred thousand spirit stones, some passable quality elixirs, and a few mystic-level techniques.

On the body of Elder Mei Poison, there was a low-grade, inferior knife technique.

But Lin Mo was a sword cultivator; it was of no use to him, yet he still collected it, perhaps to sell at the Treasure Pavilion.

Besides that, Elder Mei Poison had an assortment of toys.

Lin Mo recognized their purpose at a glance, which made his scalp tingle and his rear clench.

He even began to feel that touching Elder Mei Poison’s corpse was exceedingly unlucky.

“Senior brother, aren’t you going to take the rest?” Qu Ruyan asked, puzzled, looking at the storage ring Lin Mo had disdainfully tossed aside.

“Don’t touch it, or you might get rotten sores on your hands!” Lin Mo warned.

Qu Ruyan, who had initially wanted to take a closer look at the items in the storage ring, retracted her hand immediately, startled.

After looting the spoils, Lin Mo began to apply the rejuvenation technique to his fallen junior sisters lying on the ground.

When the junior sisters woke up, they were shocked to see a pile of corpses on the ground.

What on earth had happened after they had fainted…

To think that Elder Mei Poison and the other Golden Core elder were both dead.

And their deaths were so gruesome…

Yet Lin Mo didn’t have a scratch on him.

How did he manage that?

They wanted to ask, but they didn’t dare.

Throughout history, they had never heard of someone at the Foundation Building level defeating a Golden Core practitioner, let alone three, and with such ease.

On the way back to the Qing Ling Sect, aside from Qu Ruyan who kept asking Lin Mo for sweets,

The other junior sisters were curious why Lin Mo had such a bad reputation within the sect.

Not only were they mistaken about Lin Mo’s strength, but they were also greatly mistaken about his character.

Their senior brother was clearly so outstanding, truly a great person…

Not until he returned to the sect did Lin Mo solemnly say, “This time, my mission as the leading senior brother for the training expedition has come to an end.”

“Return to your respective peaks and report back!”

“One last thing, after today, there’s no need to keep in touch unless necessary. Part ways amicably!”

With that, Lin Mo turned around and walked towards Qingzhu Peak with an air of nonchalance.

“He really just left like that…” Xia He watched Lin Mo leave without any hesitation, his steps even quicker than before, and she felt a silent sorrow.

She had thought Lin Mo was tough on the outside but soft on the inside.

After all, no matter how harsh his words were, Lin Mo would come to their rescue in times of crisis.

Now it seemed he truly had a heart of steel!

From noble mtl dot come

Qu Ruyan broke the somber mood, “Why so sad?”

“We’re all in the same sect; it’s not like we won’t see each other. Besides, the senior brother said not to contact unless necessary!”

“What if there is a reason?”

Qu Ruyan’s words brightened everyone’s spirits.

The girls silently vowed to mend their relationship with Lin Mo.

………

Upon returning to Qingzhu Peak, Lin Mo immediately noticed something was amiss.

His junior brothers and sisters all looked dispirited, casting a pall over the entire peak.

Lin Mo silently returned to his dwelling.

Gu Zi was there, head bowed, cleaning listlessly.

A figure blocked his path, and as he looked up and recognized the newcomer, he was overcome with excitement.

“Senior Brother Lin, you’re finally back!”
