Chen Mo shook his head, "It’s a long story..."
Suddenly, he thought of something and looked around, "Wait, where’s the old man just now? Don’t tell me he got away?!"
Yu Youhan said, "He can’t escape."
"But time is running out!"
Chen Mo said anxiously, "We must kill him within an hour, otherwise, once the Blood Gu Technique is activated, it’ll be too late!"
"Who told you that?"
"The Daoist Venerable."
"She deceived you."
"?"
"Cough, cough, how can the matter of slaying demons and maintaining the Dao be called deception."
The red robe fluttered as Ji Hongxiu stepped through the air.
Ling Ningzhi obediently followed behind, her watery eyes looking at Chen Mo with some concern.
Chen Mo frowned tightly, asking, "What’s going on here?"
Ji Hongxiu cleared her throat and said, "The Blood Gu Technique is real, and it’s true that it concerns the lives of tens of thousands in the city, but there isn’t just one way to break the Gu Technique..."
She formed Daoist Formulas with her hands, a clear light spread out, instantly enveloping the entire city, dispelling the blood light that shot to the sky.
The people’s eyes became clear, their expressions somewhat confused, not understanding why they suddenly ran to the streets when they were sleeping well at home...
Chen Mo’s face looked a bit unsightly, "So the Daoist Venerable was playing me? Knowing I’m no match for that old man, yet still sent me to take a beating?"
"To weigh the circumstances is wisdom, to do what is impossible is courage."
"With wisdom but no courage, one is too cowardly; with courage but no wisdom, one is too reckless. Only those with both can reach the end."
Ji Hongxiu said with a smile, "Lord Chen, congratulations, you’ve passed my test."
Chen Mo: "..."
Yu Youhan glanced at her, "What are you anyway? My people, it’s not your turn to test them?"
Ji Hongxiu raised an eyebrow, sneering, "Do you think that just by issuing a token, he’s your person? The outcome is still uncertain, don’t speak too soon!"
"Ji Hongxiu..."
Yu Youhan’s eyes narrowed, a dangerous light flashing in them.
The two confronted each other, the air pressure dropping to freezing point, with Chen Mo standing to the side, not daring to speak.
"Mr. Chen?"
Just as the atmosphere was tense, about to erupt, a voice called out.
Li Yuan leaped through the air, her eyes lighting up when she saw Chen Mo, and ran over to throw herself into his arms.
"Mr. Chen, why did you go out without telling me? I woke up and didn’t see you, I was so worried... Did you get into a conflict with someone? Are you hurt?"
Little Tiger wrapped her arms around his neck, asking with concern.
Chen Mo somewhat awkwardly lifted his eyes to signal, Li Yuan followed his gaze and asked in confusion:
"Hmm? Who are these two...?"
