Chapter 598 - Come Out and Be Ready to Die

“Let him go, Fang Yuan.”

Su Qingtan sighed when he saw Fang Yuan wanted to chase Ling Mo, “Now every decision he makes is related to the survival of the entire Linli Building. We can’t take any risks.”

Fang Yuan looked serious slightly and paused.

There were many barren mountains and rocks outside Juecheng City. It was mostly affected by the yinqi or the scorching sun. Even a blade of grass could not grow there.

Ling Mo walked to a mountain that looked like a woman’s side face. Until he reached the top of the mountain, a thin figure wrapped its whole body in a dark black robe came into view.

“You really come back.”

Ling Mo eased off and quickly stepped forward. When he saw that pale face, he was shocked, “Are you injured?”

“It’s okay.”

Ling Li put on the mask again. It was not the Yang jade-bone mask, but a black mask with the mark of Linli Building. His thin blackish red lips could be seen under the mask.

“I have been outside for a long time. Have the problem of the Blood World been solved?”

Ling Mo nodded and explained, “I know you were in Shengtian Shrine and weren’t convenient. So, I didn’t inform you. About a year ago, a woman named Su Qingshui came to Juecheng City. It was her who solved the problem of Blood World. Later we learned that her name was fake and her real name was Su Jiuzhou.”

“Su Jiuzhou?!”

“Is that Su Jiuzhou?” Ling Li’s face changed suddenly.

“Yes, you also participated in the Tianjiao Battle. You should have heard of her. There is a rumor that you were captured by Su Jiuzhou. It’s really absurd.”

Ling Mo’s stiff face showed a smile. “It’s that Su Jiuzhou. She and her Ni Sect are now a target for attack on all sides. However, thanks to her, Jiguang Sect is promoted to a holy sect and we also get a lot of benefits.

You come back at the right time. Now Shengtian Shrine unites with many other holy sects to destroy Ni Sect. What should we do?”

Ling Li sunk into deep thought.

He was confused. According to his plan, he would continue to strengthen Linli Building secretly by relying on the luck that he stole from the Tianjiao List, and one day, they would fear nobody.

It would take a long time. At that time, even without the help of him, Linli Building could still survive, and one day it could even destroy Fate Palace.

But someone could do that just after such a short millennium?!

Where did Su Jiuzhou’s confidence come from?!

Ling Li couldn’t figure it out. Even though she was powerful, it was difficult for her to parry so much attack from all sides. What was more, Fate Ancestor, whose power was unfathomable, kept his watch on her in secret. How could she…?

Taking a deep breath, Ling Li suppressed his chaotic thoughts and asked, “How is Buwang?”

He had been always paying attention to his son’s whereabouts. Even if Ling Mo didn’t tell him, he was aware of it when he and Fang Yuan were getting around in the Yin and Yang Region.

For some reason, the pneuma of the Yin jade-bone mask disappeared. He didn’t feel it even after entering Juecheng City.

“Buwang is in the city, and Fang Yuan urges him to practice every day. Compared to the past when he was in the Shengtian Shrine, he is much more obedient now.”

Ling Mo paused a second, “If he knows you are here...”

“Don’t tell him.”

Ling Li raised his hand to stop Ling Mo from continuing, “If you say it, it will only make him resist, and he may even do stupid things again. As for Ni Sect...”

Ling Li gave a serious look, “I’ll go to investigate Ni Sect in person, and you sit tight.”

“But your injuries...”

Ling Mo didn’t finish his words. Every time he saw Ling Li those years, he never saw Ling Li intact.

After thinking about it, Ling Mo said, “How should we treat Su Jiuzhou? She sneaked into Juecheng City before perhaps because of ulterior motives. But she helped solve the problem of Blood World and saved Buwang several times. Otherwise, Buwang would be in danger because of the problem of Blood World, and his cultivation wouldn’t be enormously improved.”

Hearing the remark, Ling Li frowned, “What did you say? Su Jiuzhou saved Buwang?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Yes.”

Ling Mo told Ling Li that Su Jiuzhou gave Su Buwang the inheritance of blood stone. After he hesitated for a while, he said, “Before Su Jiuzhou left, Buwang gave her the Yin jade-bone mask.”

Ling Li was shocked. No wonder that at the end of the divine awareness, Su Jiuzhou could discover him in advance and even easily located his position.

“Hegave such a precious treasure to a strange woman.”

Seeing the sadness in Ling Li’s eyes, Ling Mo felt sorry and couldn’t help but comfort him, “After the incident in the Blood World, Buwang has already known part of the truth. Now he really treats you as an enemy. In fact, you don’t have to burden everything on yourself. Buwang...has grown up.”

Ling Li didn’t answer him.

After a while, Ling Li waved his hand, “Go back and prepare the troops. Wait for my message.”

Ling Mo sighed and went down the mountain.

Swish—

When Ling Mo disappeared at the gate of Juecheng city, accompanied by the strong wind, the dark black figure sitting on the top of the mountain also disappeared out of a sudden.

After a while, Fang Yuan walked out of the rocks on the other side of the mountain, quietly looking at the empty space. His eyes filled with complex emotions.

He had a conjecture in his mind. He was not happy at all except for Su Buwang’s progress, when he knew the authentic Ling Li.

“If you are really inhuman, at least...I can get closer to her.”

With a long sigh, Fang Yuan disappeared as well.

...

In the headquarters of Linli Building in Juecheng City, Su Buwang cultivated as usual and returned to his room to study the blood stone.

Suddenly, he yawned and couldn’t stay awake.

“So weird. Why am I sleepy?”

In a daze, Su Buwang lied down on the bed and fell asleep.

Just after he fell asleep, a dark black shadow flashed by the bed. It was Ling Li who sneaked in.

Looking at his son face, Ling Li felt at ease and then gently put his hand on Su Buwang’s lower abdomen.

Hum!

A weak force stroke back. It directly bounced Ling Li’s hand off.

“Is this holy methodwhich will protect its master itself?”

Ling Li was surprised. He lost in thought, “Is Su Jiuzhou so kind that she even gave away the holy method?”

According to Ling Mo’s description, if Su Jiuzhou hadn’t helped Su Buwang, he would have long been lost in the Blood World and become a puppet who only knew killing people.

He sighed inwardly. He didn’t want to admit it. At the end of the divine awareness, Su Jiuzhou’s attitude was extremely bad and she aimed for the beings in the one hundred thousand ice mounds. But she did let him free from the control of the Lihen Tablet and then he could finally live like a normal person.

Thinking of this, Ling Li lowered his head and looked at his palms. He could vaguely see the golden blood flowing in it. It was warm and repairing the injuries that he had accumulated over the years.

At this rate, it would take less than half a year to get rid of his injuries. Maybe it would help him break through the shackles.

“Su Jiuzhou...”

Ling Li’s mind once again came up with Su Li’s face which was unfamiliar. He frowned, “What you’ve done is exactly what I want to do. But what’s the reason for you to do that? Are you...her heir?”

...

With a light sigh, Ling Li disappeared like a phantom.

Su Buwang woke up and rubbed his eyes. He muttered, “So spooky. Why did I fall asleep and dream of that person...”

He felt cold and shook his head quickly. He went back to the table to study the blood stone with a cunning smile.

“Ha-ha, Uncle Fang and the others want to hide that from me. Sister Qingshui’s real name is Su Jiuzhou, which is the same surname with my mother. And she is in Jiuzhou Region. I don’t want to live in this damn shitty place. I am going to seek refuge with Immortal Sister. Hahaha...”

The next day, the maid who cleaned the room of Su Buwang ran over in a panic.

“My goodness! Young Lord ran away from home! He also left a note.”

“What?”

Fang Yuan’s face changed and he quickly took over the note. It was really Su Buwang’s scrawl.

“Don’t miss me, Uncle Fang. I’m going to seek refuge with Immortal Sister in Jiuzhou Region. I have a Shengxing Rune. I left overnight. When you see this note, I should be at the gate of Ni Sect!”

Seeing this note, Fang Yuan put on a long face and left the room without saying a word.

After that, Ling Mo, Su Qingtan and the others arrived one after another, and they were speechless when they saw the note.

“Now Jiuzhou Region is in chaos. It is a right decision for Fang Yuan to catch up. We must deliberate what we should do. I have sent out spies to keep an eye on Jiuzhou Region. It’s better to bide our time now.”

After Ling Mo finished his words, Yun Yi smiled, “You really have a bit of the same imposing manner in which Miss devised strategies back then.”

“Do I?”

Ling Mo turned his head, but he couldn’t hide the worry on his face.

Fang Yuan chased after Su Buwang to Jiuzhou Region. And Ling Li went there, too. If Su Buwang met—

Ling Mo didn’t dare to think further.

—

At this moment, standing in front of the gate of Ni Sect, Su Buwang saw the crowded figures. He was puzzled.

Why...were there so many people?

“Little brother, are you here to watch the fun, too?”

Suddenly, a well-dressed young man grabbed his hand and asked with a wink.

“What’s the fun?”

Su Buwang became even more puzzled.

“Ni Sect will fall on evil days!”

He laughed out loud again, “I heard that the Lord and Grand Elder of Ni Sect are both women. Those holy sects teamed up to bully those two women. It’s a great drama!”

“What are you talking about?”

Su Buwang’s eyes widened. When he was about to ask more, the young man’s face changed suddenly and he looked up at the sky in a daze.

“Huh, why is it suddenly dark?”

Su Buwang looked up as well. Then he saw the imprint that he had been acquainted with since his childhood.

Shengtian Shrine?!

At this time, the younger man’s words resounded like a nightmare, “Hey, Shengtian Shrine combines with fifty holy sects to attack Ni Sect. What a big scene!”

Su Buwang’s face turned pale immediately. He was petrified.

Suddenly, he thought of something. Soon he came to his senses and raised his head to try to find the tall figure among the people in front of those of Shengtian Shrine. But...he couldn’t find it!

At this moment, an old man of Han Sect stood out among the imposing troops of holy sects. He shouted angrily, “Su Jiuzhou of Ni Sect, come out and be ready to die!”
