Chen Mo examined the soul in his hand.
After losing its physical body, Jue Mi revealed its true form.
Grey fur, a pointed nose, sharp teeth, and perky ears, with three tails constantly swaying behind it, as though it was trying to please him.
"A fox?"
In his memories, the late stages of the game indeed had a Fox Demon BOSS.
But that was an eight-tailed, completely white fox...
Chen Mo captured Jue Mi’s divine soul in his palm and did not immediately devour it.
After upgrading his Soul Capturing Divine Ability, he gained a new capability—to temporarily contain divine souls.
The Demon Clan, Red Sand Mine, and the deceased junior officer from the Ministry of Construction—there must be some connection among them.
The Zhou Family, or the person behind the Zhou Family, was plotting something.
This divine soul might be useful to the Empress.
"Solving the case isn’t important; the priority is to complete the Empress’s mission."
Although Chen Mo often self-mocks as a "thong," he was not naive enough to try to please both sides.
Fence-sitters die early.
According to historical experience, those who are indecisive usually meet a bad end.
As for the Demon Clan causing chaos in Tiandu City...
No need to worry about that, compared to Consort Yu, who nearly destroyed the game ’Unmatched Immortal’ to just its name, the Demon Clan’s destructive power really wasn’t significant.
Whether Great Yuan is in chaos or not, it’s the Empress who has the final say; even the Demon Clan must step aside.
Maintaining a firm stance in support of the Empress—this was his current strategic policy.
Chen Mo took out a piece of Spiritual Marrow, replenishing his completely depleted Dantian.
It took a full half a moment to gather strength, draining all the True Yuan from his body, along with the extra damage bonus of "Fierce Ghost Slayer" against the Demon Clan, combined with Shen Shuqiu’s control skills—to achieve a One-Hit Kill effect.
No wonder Zhou Li was so confident; this Jue Mi was indeed very powerful, its overall strength probably nearly reaching fourth-rank.
As True Yuan nourished his dry meridians, Chen Mo’s pale cheeks regained a bit of color, and he walked up to Shen Shuqiu.
"Lord Shen, are you alright?"
Shen Shuqiu took a breath and looked at Chen Mo with surprised eyes, as if seeing him for the first time.
"That strike just now..."
Chen Mo proudly said: "I created it myself, cool, isn’t it?"
"..."
Shen Shuqiu fell silent.
With his discernment, he naturally recognized the extraordinariness of that strike.
It contained the essence of the great Tao, undoubtedly a Heaven Rank Martial Technique.
Self-created Heaven Rank Martial Technique?
Such occurrences are rare but not unheard of—basing it on an Earth-Level Martial Art and integrating enlightenment of the Great Tao could potentially elevate its rank, but this often requires the refinement and accumulation across generations.
And Chen Mo was only twenty years old this year!
Judging by the power of that strike, the consumption of True Yuan was terrifying; Shen Shuqiu felt that he might not be able to wield it...
"Damn, monster."
Shen Shuqiu couldn’t help but curse in a low voice.
Chen Mo: "..."
Meanwhile, Lin Jingzhu’s Black Gold Long Stick extended to seven feet, wildly stabbing at Zhou Li from a distance.
Zhou Li, exhausted from parrying, was caught off-guard and struck by the stick.
Crackling—
Blue electric arcs emitted from the tip of the stick, his body gyrating and his hair standing on end.
"Damned bitch, if you have the guts, let me out and fight me fair and square@#¥%&*..."
Zhou Li cursed at Lin Jingzhu in frustration.
But in a moment of carelessness, the stick jabbed into his mouth, shocking him so much his eyes rolled back.
Although Lin Jingzhu had a strong Jianghu aura and was belligerent, she was no fool.
In terms of sheer power, she was far inferior to Zhou Li; even with array assistance, it would be hard to kill him.
Instead of that, better to conserve strength while waiting at ease.
"If Chen Mo abandons me and runs away again, at least I have the power to protect myself... If he dares to run, once we return to Tiandu City, I’ll have my aunt break his damn legs!"
Lin Jingzhu thought secretly.
"No way, bro, it’s dawn already, and we’re still not done?"
Just then, Chen Mo’s voice rang out.
"?"
Both turned their heads to look, seeing Chen Mo and Shen Shuqiu walking over.
Zhou Li was momentarily dumbfounded, his gaze searching around.
Jue Mi?
Did it abandon him and run away?
"Stop searching, the Demon Clan has been subdued," Chen Mo said indifferently.
"It’s impossible, absolutely impossible."
