The Rebirth of an Immortal Cultivator
Chapter 425: Return to Louhu Town
The cave he was investigating looked dark from the outside, but it turned out that after entering it it was not dark as expected. Even this cave is not humid and quite dry and well maintained as often entered by humans.
No one knew what was inside as it could not use its Divine Consciousness, but Mo Lian could still feel a slight movement from her long experience.
Mo Lian continued to walk leisurely but did not relax her vigilance. He was very careful even though the strength in Louhu Town could not injure his physical body.
He took out an iron pipe as a weapon just in case, and with an iron pipe, he could fight better as he could kill easily. As for the sword, all of its weapons had their own abilities and it could destroy the surroundings.
"By the way, is Ning'er watching me?" Mo Lian stopped stepping, looking up at the ceiling of the cave. He smiled faintly and again said, "Tonight, let's do it until morning."
Suddenly, Mo Lian felt wrong after saying that. Right now his strength was sealed, he did not know if he could hold on until morning. If it was unable to endure, wouldn't it be embarrassing after he said it confidently?
Mo Lian bit her lips in regret and sweat began to flow. He massaged his forehead, feeling an inexplicable pressure. "May I still have energy in the morning and be able to get out of bed. Then, may Ning'er not use her Divine Awareness to observe me at this time. If he sees it and charges it ..."
But what she did not know, Hong Xi Ning was initially annoyed and blushed from having to hear while in the lobby. But after hearing the second remark and how panicked Mo Lian was, Hong Xi Ning had already planned it out and told Qin Nian and Yun Ning.
Suddenly, Mo Lian felt a chill in her body. He looked to his left-right, then rushed into the cave in a panic. He knew what it was, it was Hong Xi Ning who was observing him.
Mo Lian continued walking without slowing her way and finally could vaguely hear the sound of laughter from within the cave. He immediately stopped stepping and frowned. "There's someone inside, which means this is a hidden base, but why aren't there any guards outside?"
"Embroach?" Mo Lian suddenly thought of someone waiting for her outside and held her back from escaping. But does he need to run? Nah!
Mo Lian shook her head and continued to enter the cave, until she finally found a blazing intersection and a shadow there. He kept walking, then looked to the right.
There were dozens of people who were partying liquor in the cave, they were sitting in wooden crates that seemed to have treasures inside.
The dozens of people were still laughing, until finally the skinny man facing Mo Lian looked at her.
Mo Lian smiled awkwardly as their eyes met each other. "Do you believe that I came because I wanted to ask for wine and drink with you?"
"Searching for death!" The burly man who sat his back to Mo Lian, stood up and swung his sword back.
Mo Lian reacted quickly and lifted the iron pipe.
Sparks erupted within the cave room, making the wind gust. The room was instantly chaotic as the battle began to erupt, awakening everyone's fighting spirit and they raised their weapons.
But because the room was a little cramped and blocked by the big man, the other dozens of people could only shout without being able to act.
Mo Lian was aware of the awkwardness of everyone who was behind being obstructed, and she couldn't possibly let it go. He would press deeper until they could not move.
"Boss Xiong! Press him, we can't fight inside here!" One of them shouted because he could not move.
Boss Xiong gnashed his teeth in annoyance and fury. His hands did not stop as he continued to ferociously attack relentlessly, but all of his attacks were broken and could not hit Mo Lian at all.
Mo Lian continued swinging the iron pipe and looked for an opportunity to kill him.
Boss Xiong swung his sword crosswise, from top right to bottom left.
Mo Lian swung the iron pipe in the opposite direction to Boss Xiong's attack. Both of their weapons collided again, giving rise to sparks that erupted. Then he looked at Boss Xiong who was staggered by the pressure, he seized the opportunity and stabbed his iron pipe to the left of Boss Xiong's body.
Boss Xiong felt depressed and could not react in time. He had already thought that this attack would definitely hit him. But just as he was thinking like that and waiting, suddenly a shout came from the left side behind him.
Boss Xiong turned his head, looking at his men who were hit by a sharp iron pipe on the chest.
Mo Lian pulled the iron pipe, and a wound formed on his opponent's chest. The wound followed the shape of an iron pipe, and the blood was flowing quite profusely like the flow of tap water.
Mo Lian lifted the iron pipe, swinging it crosswise to attack Boss Xiong.
Mo Lian raised her left leg, kicked Boss Xiong quite hard, threw down Boss Xiong and crashed into all of his subordinates standing behind him.
Not stopping, Mo Lian took a firm step and stabbed the iron pipe blindly.
The dozens of people could not avoid because of the narrow space and squeezed into each other. Under Mo Lian's indiscriminate attack, they cried out in fear before their bodies weakened as they were filled by an inch-wide hole, blood flowed profusely and quickly their faces paled as their gazes began to blacken.
Mo Lian looked at the iron pipe that was covered in blood. He was stunned for a moment, then kept it back.
"Thank you, I appreciate you guys for collecting all the treasures for me to take." Mo Lian smiled faintly. He crouched down to grasp their ankles, and threw them to the other side in one pee.
Mo Lian also did a corpse cleansing and blood-removing. Then he headed for some coffins and opened them.
The glint of gold and silver dazzled his eyes for a moment after opening the coffin. But there was no visible happiness on his face, it was because this seemingly extremely precious treasure was only a Silver and Gold Tael that was useless to him.
But, since it was already faced with a treasure, it was not good to refuse it. Mo Lian stored it inside a black bracelet-like device, and there were flickering lights there.
Mo Lian frowned as she looked at the cave wall and sensed something was different. He touched it, knocked it. "The sound is different, inside here is a secret room."
Mo Lian continued tapping, pressing against the wall to search for the secret button, until she finally pressed the small stone.
At that very instant, the small space on the wall opened up. The room was not big, it was only as big as a lunchbox. There were no valuables, all the items inside were just papers.
Mo Lian took it and read it one. "Prepare everything, rob everyone you meet and take their money. Then bring it to the headquarters for the cost of increasing the strength, the Big Boss doesn't want to wait too long. Hurry along! We have to take over the city of Louhu to satisfy the client."
Mo Lian frowned as she read it. Then read them one by one, then find the outline.
There was a hidden organization similar to the one under the auspices of the Guo Family. This organization worked for the Fire Lotus Kingdom who wanted to take the City of Louhu to expand the territory, before eroding it bit by bit to take control of the entire Wind Kingdom.
Then, the organization that worked with the Fire Lotus Kingdom, turned out to be shaded by one of the city lords who was on the edge of the border before heading to Louhu Town. It seemed like the city there had already surrendered, either because of the battle or tempted would be the reward of the Fire Lotus Kingdom.
"I don't care if the Wind Kingdom and the Fire Lotus Kingdom are at war, as long as nothing interferes with my business. If they attack the business, I can ask Ning'er to kill them all."
Mo Lian smiled, then she turned her head to look at the ceiling of the cave. "I once did a cleansing of the mind by living like an ordinary human in order to avoid murder and calm down without anger. It was then to gain abundant strength while breaking through the Immortal Dao. But ..."
Mo Lian pondered and lowered her head again looking at the ground beneath her feet. "What am I chasing by doing it again this time around other than seeking mental calm after getting a crushing blow?"
"Am I just looking for calm? Big Dao? I don't believe it anymore."
Mo Lian leaned against the wall in her confusion. "Yue Fu only advised me to calm down. But what's the benefit?"
Mo Lian knew that it was impossible for Hong Xi Jiang to ask him to back down without any definite benefit, but what puzzled him at this moment, was what the advantage was from backing down was.
"Did Yue Fu ask me to stay away lest I go to the Western Region and look for the Spiritual Looting Organization?"
"But ..." Mo Lian massaged her forehead and felt a headache from constantly thinking about it.
Mo Lian took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly. He almost lost himself. "Okay, I have a new purpose. Observing nature, understanding nature, uniting with nature, I am nature."
Mo Lian smiled faintly, then she got ready to return to Louhu Town as it seemed to have entered lunch time.
