Chen Mo covered his sore back, his legs still feeling a bit weak.
He spent a day and night at The Cloudwater Hall, personally experiencing Saintess Gu’s secret technique, which was so intense it made him unable to extricate himself.
The most crucial part was that the paper puppets nurtured with Gu Manzhi’s essence blood could also perform this move!
Adding Yu’er, that seductive little demon, even with his exceptional talents he found it tough to handle, using all his might to escape from the Silk Cave...
(O_o)??
Everyone looked at Chen Mo with a stunned expression.
They dug three feet into the Southern Border, turned over the entire Ten-thousand Mountains, thinking Mr. Chen was swallowed by the Blood Tide, and were all grief-stricken... only to find that he was actually enjoying himself in the Imperial Music Bureau?
Qiu Longgang’s voice stiffened as he said, "Mr. Chen, have you already returned for a while?"
Chen Mo nodded, "I’ve been back for five or six days, but why were you delayed for so long?"
Qiu Longgang’s mouth twitched slightly, "Since Fu Li self-destructed, you suddenly disappeared. We searched the Sky Miasma Abyss for days, found neither living nor dead, and thought something happened to you..."
Chen Mo puzzled, "You are all alive and well, what could happen to me?"
"..."
Everyone was momentarily speechless, not knowing how to respond.
Li Yuan stepped forward, her voice trembling, "Mr. Chen, it’s good that you’re alright..."
Earlier, upon hearing that Chen Mo was in trouble, her heart clenched tightly, her emotions swinging drastically, leaving her physically weak and her mind a bit hazy.
"Right, it’s good that you’re alright!"
"Mr. Chen is still alive, truly wonderful!"
"This time in slaying the Blood Demon, and without any losses, all thanks to Mr. Chen!"
Everyone recovered their senses, looking incredibly excited.
Beside them, Qin Shou was taken aback upon hearing this, then incredulously exclaimed:
"You went to the Southern Border this time, to hunt the Blood Demon? The Seventh Blood Demon on the Heavenly Demon List?!"
His voice was so loud that all the people from the Government were attracted, gathering in layers at the Fire Department entrance.
"Is it true? Did I hear wrong?"
"The Seventh Heavenly Demon plagued the Southern Border for decades, mysterious and extremely cunning... did it really die just like that?"
"Are you sure it’s the Blood Demon that’s dead?"
"Where’s the body? Why isn’t there a body to see?"
"Don’t say, if Mr. Chen is involved, maybe it’s true! After all, he personally killed the Tenth Heavenly Demon!"
Everyone was abuzz with discussion, the atmosphere lively and noisy.
Li Yuan was somewhat dazed.
She had studied the case files thoroughly, naturally knowing how troublesome the Blood Demon was.
The court had dispatched grandmasters to the Southern Border several times to eliminate the evil and attempt to capture him, but all returned without success, not even catching a glimpse of the demon’s shadow.
This time Bai Lingchuan sent Chen Mo to lead the team, she thought it was just for show, trying to gain a good reputation before stepping down.
Yet Chen Mo actually killed the Blood Demon?!
Li Yuan came to her senses, softly asking, "Mr. Chen, is this true?"
Chen Mo nodded, "Though I didn’t personally kill him, the demon is indeed dead."
