Chapter 129: Shock
Yanyan looked down on Ghost Gate from the bottom of her heart. In her view, the only true great sect was Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
“Grandfather, is this the Ghost Gate you mentioned? Nothing special about it…”
Arriving at the foot of the mountain, Yanyan looked at the stone tablet in front of her, which clearly read Ghost Gate.
She thought there was nothing special about it, not even a gatekeeper.
Dugu Bo didn’t know how to explain. The construction of Ghost Gate was single-handedly crafted by him!
However… Ghost Gate had not yet started recruiting disciples, so it indeed looked without any facade.
“Wait…”
Suddenly, Dugu Bo noticed gales rising around them, with a cold killing intent hidden in the surroundings.
Looking ahead, he saw that on both sides of the long staircase, there seemed to be many strong experts hidden.
“This is…”
The sharp-eyed Dugu Bo spotted those armored soldiers hidden in the eerie mountain forest on both sides.
He was very familiar with these things. In the world, apart from Ling Mo! He had never seen anyone else possess such strange armored soldiers.
What shocked him was that Ling Mo actually had so many more armored soldiers besides Ghost Lord and Number Five.
He had only been away for an hour, and Ghost Gate was no longer the Ghost Gate he knew.
“Grandfather, what’s wrong?”
Yanyan also sensed that eerie chill, her hairs standing on end! Her whole body shivering.
“It’s nothing…”
Dugu Bo reassured her, then led Yanyan up the mountain.
If at first Yanyan still looked down on Ghost Gate, now… she didn’t even dare to speak.
This place… was truly too eerie, terrifyingly eerie.
Walking up along the staircase to the great gate of Yanluo Hall, Yanyan stood there, her eyes blank, as if she had seen something terrifying.
“Yanyan, don’t panic!”
Dugu Bo continued to reassure her. Speaking of which… when he originally crafted Ghost Gate, he already felt it was quite chilling.
He didn’t expect Ling Mo to pull off something like this upon his move, elevating the entire eerie atmosphere by a full tenfold.
Even he felt uncomfortable all over, needing some time to adapt.
“Grandfather, I’m scared…”
Even the proud and arrogant Yanyan had no trace of her innate arrogance left at this moment, only fear remaining.
“Don’t be afraid, Grandfather is here! They won’t hurt you, you’ll adapt slowly! Come with me to see Sect Master…”
With that, Dugu Bo directly opened the great gate. In view were hundreds of armored soldiers lined up in a row, leading straight from Yanluo Hall to the upper staircase, all the way up to Star Picking Tower.
At this moment, Dugu Bo’s pupils dilated, his heart utterly shocked.
This rank of armored soldiers, the lowest strength among them was also Soul Emperor level, not to mention the higher Soul Sage and Soul Douluo level top-tier strong experts.
Even he, a Titled Douluo, felt a sense of fear, let alone Yanyan, who directly shrank into Dugu Bo’s arms, not daring to look.
Hundreds of armored soldiers, the instant the great gate opened, all looked over, locking onto the two!
They did not launch an attack, merely staring!
“Let’s go…”
Facing the scrutiny of the armored soldiers on both sides, Dugu Bo’s heart panicked. He truly didn’t know where Ling Mo had gotten so many armored soldiers from.
And Yanyan didn’t even dare to lift her head, shrinking in Dugu Bo’s arms, not daring to look.
Each of those armored soldiers had a skull head. Though wrapped in thick armor, that appearance was indeed very clear.
What exactly were these people? Why had they all become like this, yet still alive and well?
Ghost Gate! Were there really all ghosts here?
Heading straight up, passing through Yanluo Hall, the two went directly to Star Picking Tower.
The building at the mountaintop came into view, occupying the mountaintop. Above the loft, Ling Mo stood at the window, able to overlook the entire panorama below the mountain.
“Sect Master…”
As soon as Dugu Bo came up, he spotted Ling Mo above at a glance.
Hearing Dugu Bo call Sect Master, Yanyan curiously lifted her head. At first glance, she saw that familiar figure.
“It’s you?”
Yanyan was utterly shocked. She had imagined that the Sect Master her grandfather mentioned would at least be some old man, right?
This was also why she had resisted so fiercely before.
To make her marry some old man, she would rather die than agree.
“Hm? Yanyan, you two know each other?”
Dugu Bo was immediately stunned. He had originally planned to properly promote Yanyan in front of Ling Mo, but they already knew each other.
“Hehe, come up first!”
Ling Mo didn’t answer, only said this, continuing to admire the beautiful mountain scenery.
Looking down from Star Picking Tower, with dual pupils, Ling Mo could see the scenery of the entire mountain range. No matter what happened anywhere, he could see it clearly.
Star Picking Tower, as the name implies, has one meaning: high places are bitterly cold!
Able to pluck sun, moon, and stars!
The two adjacent mountains were not yet completed. Ling Mo vaguely saw workers still busy.
The iron lock bridges on both sides had already been crafted. He truly didn’t know how they had completed such engineering.
“Sect Master, this is my granddaughter, Yanyan…”
Dugu Bo brought Yanyan up and directly introduced her.
“No need for introduction, we’ve known each other for a long time. Isn’t that right, Miss Yanyan?”
Ling Mo said meaningfully. Last time… at Great Fighting Soul Arena, they had competed once.
Although Ling Mo hadn’t faced her directly, they were still very familiar with each other’s means.
“I know you. Last time at Great Fighting Soul Arena, the captain of Shrek Seven Devils was you, right?”
Yanyan guessed faintly. She always felt something off about Ling Mo. Although he was similar in height to Dai Mubai and wore a mask.
But their eyes could not be concealed.
Ling Mo’s dual pupils were clearly dual pupils, while Dai Mubai! Though also heterochromatic pupils, did not have Ling Mo’s effect.
“That’s right, it’s me!”
Ling Mo spread his hands, admitting it very calmly.
Indeed, no mistake! Nothing to hide…
“Sect Master, what are you two talking about? Why can’t this old man understand a thing…”
Dugu Bo expressed great depression. How had he become the superfluous one instead?
“Mm! It’s like this. A few months ago…”
With that, Ling Mo explained the previous events to Dugu Bo.
“Oh, so that’s how it is! By the way, Sect Master, did you give that Yu family kid a good beating for me?”
Dugu Bo suddenly said.
“Grandfather…”
Upon hearing this, Yanyan immediately became displeased. She didn’t know what exactly Yu Tianheng had done wrong, yet he wanted to beat Yu Tianheng right away.
“Alright, alright, Grandfather won’t say it!”
“Alright, back to the main topic! You go out first…”
Ling Mo had no mood for idle chat. He had an appointment in the evening and didn’t know if he’d be stood up.
Truth be told, Yanyan’s figure was truly top-tier! Especially during Martial Soul Possession, those jade legs swaying, very soft.
If she weren’t already with Yu Tianheng, Ling Mo really wanted to subdue this enchantress…
I, the grand Master Fa Hai, can’t subdue you this little snake? What a joke.
Hearing this, Dugu Bo exited Star Picking Tower, too lazy to watch how Ling Mo would perform detoxification.
He was still thinking in his heart, best if something happens between the two, then he matches them, and the matter is done.
Unfortunately… neither Ling Mo nor Yanyan had this idea, so he was destined to fail.
“I’m very curious, how did you trick my grandfather into joining your so-called Ghost Gate…”
After Dugu Bo left, Yanyan finally spoke her mind.
From the beginning, she had been very puzzled inwardly. Given her understanding of her grandfather, he wouldn’t possibly join any sect.
What mind-bewitching trick did Ling Mo use to make her grandfather willingly join Ghost Gate and work himself to the bone for it?
