Chapter 104: Greedy Dugu Bo
“Stinky rogue, I won’t let you off…”
After Ling Mo disappeared, Qian Renxue stood in place for a long time, resentfully gazing in the direction Ling Mo had left.
This was already the second time she had suffered a setback at Ling Mo’s hands, and Qian Renxue grew angrier the more she thought about it!
Even the noble and supreme Angel had a girlish side!
The more she thought, the more she felt at a loss; the more she thought, the angrier she got. However, Ling Mo truly hadn’t done anything excessive.
It was just that, at that time, she really had…
As she thought about it, in her fury, Qian Renxue slashed several large trees at her feet into powder with one sword, her emotions growing increasingly volatile.
She wished she could grab Ling Mo, imprison him, and properly discipline him.
Big trees: “???”
Damn, is there no reason anymore? He provoked you, go hit him! Why chop me? I’m too miserable…
A pitiful mountain forest was completely chopped down by Qian Renxue with one sword, leaving the surroundings in disarray.
Anyway, just thinking of Ling Mo’s smug face made her furious; she simply couldn’t hold it back.
At this time, Ling Mo, dozens of miles away, confirmed that Qian Renxue hadn’t chased after him and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Damn it, that damned woman! So eager to throw herself into my arms?”
Muttering curses, Ling Mo felt that he temporarily couldn’t go to Heaven Dou City anymore.
Let me explain here: that night! It really wasn’t that Ling Mo wanted to do anything. Though Ling Mo was a bit of a playboy, he wouldn’t stoop that low.
After a bout of discipline, he had originally planned to leave, but who knew Qian Renxue would suddenly change temperament completely. What followed was completely beyond Ling Mo’s imagination.
Ahem…
The Saintess has desires too! It’s human nature…
Referencing the original work, in her dreams she doesn’t even spare Tang San, let alone Ling Mo who had been teasing her all along!
Of course… things really aren’t what you think. Nothing happened at all—do you believe me?
Ahem, don’t believe me? Fine…
Muttering curses, Ling Mo headed straight for Sunset Forest!
First, lie low for a bit. Anyway, these matters aren’t urgent.
Just right to check how Dugu Bo’s preparations are going…
With that, Ling Mo headed directly to Sunset Forest. As for Shrek Academy, if nothing unexpected happens, they should arrive at Heaven Dou City soon.
Regarding his own sudden disappearance, when Ling Mo left, he left behind a Titled Douluo-level strong expert to explain his whereabouts to them and incidentally protect Zhu Zhuqing.
Although he had clashed with Spirit Hall this time, Ling Mo wasn’t worried at all.
He knew that Hu Liena would definitely tell Bibi Dong about him when she returned this time!
As a result, Ghost Gate’s reputation would resound across the entire Continent, and joining the Seven Great Sects would be a sure thing.
This was also one of Ling Mo’s plans. To expand the sect, the only way was to build reputation; only then could he recruit more talent…
Relying solely on three thousand armored soldiers wasn’t enough for Ling Mo to disregard all the sects in the world, so… talent was a necessary choice.
Heading alone to Sunset Forest, Ling Mo directly entered the medicine garden.
Just as he entered, Dugu Bo happily walked up and said, “Sect Master! You’ve finally returned…”
As he spoke, his eyes kept glancing over Ling Mo’s body, as if searching for something.
Sure enough, Ling Mo could basically guess what fart the old man would let out next.
“Do you have any more of those hidden weapons from last time? Give this old man a few hundred pieces…”
His words were shocking enough to kill; he asked for several hundred pieces right off the bat, leaving Ling Mo stunned for a good while.
“Damn, are you joking with me? Several hundred pieces—you think I’m some landlord tycoon?”
“Don’t be like that. No several hundred? Dozens would do too! You don’t know, this time I went out and was mighty impressive.
Those old rivals who used to look down on me were all beaten down by me! It felt so damn good…”
The thrilling sensation brought by the hidden weapons had Dugu Bo hooked, completely addicted…
How could there be such fun things in the world? It was just too damn exhilarating!
After witnessing the hidden weapons, Dugu Bo felt like the past few decades of his life had been wasted; he hadn’t even known about such interesting toys.
He thought that if he’d met Ling Mo earlier, he wouldn’t have had to feel frustrated for so many years…
“Dozens? Don’t even think about it…”
Ling Mo wanted to laugh seeing Dugu Bo’s money-grubbing face.
Where’s your aloof old man persona? How did it change…
“No, no, no dozens? You must have over ten at least?”
Seeing Ling Mo unwilling to give any, Dugu Bo immediately got anxious. He was planning to go find that old dragon from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan for a one-on-one duel to boost his prestige…
You know, Dugu Bo had always feared these tough guys. Now he finally had something to counter them—how could he endure it?
He had to retrieve all the frustration he’d endured over these years…
Without hidden weapons, how would he dare provoke that old dragon…
“Wanting hidden weapons isn’t impossible! How’s the matter I tasked you with before coming along?”
“Don’t worry, that little thing was a piece of cake. I’ve already selected the site for the sect, on the big mountain west of Heaven Dou City, nestled against Sunset Forest.
As per your requirements, I chose the tallest mountain, with mountains and rivers nearby! The terrain is easy to defend and hard to attack…
Currently, I’ve already had people start crafting the Ghost Gate Hall. If my calculations are correct, it should be completed in at most a year’s time.
Completely according to your requirements, crafting a pure wooden mortise-and-tenon structure palace…”
Dugu Bo explained that during this time, besides going out to spar with others, he hadn’t forgotten the task Ling Mo assigned.
Ghost Gate was now under construction; it just needed to be finished before starting to accept disciples.
“Mm! Not bad. Looks like you didn’t slack on my instructions.
Since that’s the case… I’ll give you some fun toys…”
With that, Ling Mo pulled out many treasures, with the most being King of Hell’s Invitation and Mother-Child Soul Chasing Life Seizing Gallbladder.
Seeing these toys, Dugu Bo’s eyes went wide! They gleamed with gold.
However, the next item Ling Mo took out was something he hadn’t seen before.
Its style resembled a peacock with tail feathers spread, with a handle below and feathers of various colors above!
“Sect Master, what is this thing?”
Dugu Bo picked up the Peacock Plume and examined it closely for a while, nearly pressing the switch.
“Damn, don’t you value your life! How dare you touch this thing casually…”
Ling Mo was startled. This was the Peacock Plume, and though a simplified version, its power wasn’t something ordinary people could withstand.
This Peacock Plume was the most perfected one in Ling Mo’s hands, the sample closest to the complete Peacock Plume.
Ling Mo still wanted to use it as reference to craft a true Peacock Plume.
“What thing? Making such a fuss!”
Dugu Bo looked at Ling Mo puzzledly. The Peacock Plume looked pretty nice, but he didn’t know its power.
“Let me put it this way! This hidden weapon is called Peacock Plume, one of the three most powerful hidden weapons!
Though it’s currently just a simplified version, it can still slaughter anyone below Soul Douluo level with ease!
If it were the complete Peacock Plume, not exaggerating at all, one shot could take out a group of Titled Douluo—simpler than eating or drinking…”
“What?”
At these words, Dugu Bo was utterly shocked! He froze in place.
He had no doubt about Ling Mo’s words, for he knew very well that the hidden weapons in Ling Mo’s hands were all terrifying.
Not to mention the Peacock Plume, which Ling Mo called one of the three most powerful hidden weapons. It wasn’t an exaggeration; it might really be able to take out a group of Titled Douluo with one shot.
“Heaven! Such a divine artifact exists. No, Sect Master, you have to give me one at least!”
With that, Dugu Bo even thought of claiming the Peacock Plume for himself. To miss out on such a treasure would be too regrettable.
