Chapter 154: Xue Xing’s Revenge
“Hmm… just send them over directly!”
Ling Mo thought about it and decided to let them deliver it themselves. He had no leisure to parade through the streets with so many scantily clad girls.
“Good, may I ask where Mister needs us to deliver them?”
“Ghost Gate!”
At these words, Ross was stunned on the spot.
“Ghost Gate!!!”
This name was still fresh in his memory. Not long ago, it was a sect that had been the talk of the town, rumored to be a top sect comparable to Haotian Sect.
A few days ago, several great powers went to pay respects at the mountain, but unexpectedly all returned empty-handed. It was said they were forcefully driven back by Ghost Gate.
Elephant Armor Sect was among them.
“No wonder he dared to bicker with Hu Yan Zhen and wasn’t afraid of Xue Xing! So he comes from Ghost Gate…”
Ross was extremely shocked inside. He had imagined that Ling Mo might be from Spirit Hall, or possibly related to Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School.
But he never expected him to be from Ghost Gate.
That most mysterious force on the continent today, Ghost Gate, which had yet to reveal its edge?
“That’s right, Ghost Gate! Just send the people up, don’t ask too many questions…”
With that, Ling Mo took Zhu Zhuqing’s arm and directly left the auction house.
The Cat Girl kept following closely behind, seemingly very afraid of Ling Mo but reluctant to leave Zhu Zhuqing.
“By the way, letting her follow us all the time isn’t great, right?”
Their perfect two-person world was suddenly interrupted by a Cat Girl, leaving Ling Mo a bit depressed.
“What’s not great about it? Could it be you want to do something bad?”
“Cough cough, what bad thing could I do!”
“Forget it, let’s go back! We can think about how to settle these people on the way…”
Saying that, Ling Mo led Zhu Zhuqing toward Ghost Gate.
When they walked out of the city gate, he suddenly noticed several strange auras around them, following behind.
“Did you notice something?” Zhu Zhuqing also sensed something off.
She was now at Level 46. Cultivating daily on the Cold Jade Bed, her level had already surpassed Dai Mubai’s.
The speed was so fast that Flander and the others were dumbfounded, wondering if she had eaten some immortal medicine lately to improve so quickly.
“There are a few tails behind us. They should be Xue Xing’s lackeys, or maybe Hu Yan Zhen’s lackeys, but it’s no big deal!
You take her back first. I’ll stay to deal with them and catch up in a bit…”
Ling Mo turned back and coldly glanced at a corner by the city wall. Two groups of people, one on the left and one on the right, didn’t seem to be together.
“No, let’s go together…”
Zhu Zhuqing chose not to leave and stayed to face the enemy with Ling Mo.
“What? Afraid I’ll be in danger? Starting to care about me?”
Ling Mo smirked cheekily, only to be met with Zhu Zhuqing’s eye roll.
“Hmph, I’d worry about anyone but you. I’m just afraid that while I’m gone, you’ll secretly meet some lover behind my back…”
“That’s too much! Do I seem like that kind of person?”
“You don’t just seem like it, you are that kind of person…”
Ling Mo had black lines all over his head. This wasn’t working! His image had completely collapsed.
In front of his own woman, he had no authority at all. It seemed he needed to find an opportunity to reassert his dominance and straighten out the household discipline.
“Let’s go back first. These jumping clowns are just scouts…”
With that, Ling Mo directly unleashed his martial soul. Peacock Wings unfurled, and he shot into the air instantly.
Zhu Zhuqing did the same, activating Phoenix Cloud Colorful Clothes and spreading a pair of purple wings. She then grabbed the Cat Girl’s hand and headed straight for Ghost Gate.
“They flew away, what do we do?”
Three people flew away, and the people below panicked. They were ordered to track Ling Mo, but he had flown off.
“What else can we do? If we lose them, none of us will survive going back. Chase!”
As soon as the words fell, a group rushed out from the corner, unleashed their martial souls, pushed their speed to the limit, and chased desperately.
One group closely pursued Ling Mo all the way to the front of Ghost Gate Mountain.
“This is?”
Arriving at the front of Ghost Gate Mountain and seeing the long staircase, everyone stopped in their tracks.
This place was too eerie. That chilling aura made everyone feel uncomfortable all over.
“Ghost Gate? This kid is from Ghost Gate?”
The sharp-eyed one spotted the stone tablet in front of the mountain gate, which clearly read “Ghost Gate.”
Instantly, everyone was startled!
Not long ago, Ghost Gate’s reputation had spread far and wide, not just in Heaven Dou Empire, but even in Star Luo Empire, tales of Ghost Gate were circulating.
It was hard for them not to know.
“Boss, what do we do now?”
Everyone’s faces changed drastically, filled with extreme fear!
They didn’t dare step onto that staircase at all. An inexplicable sense of crisis told them that once they did, death awaited them.
The mountain forest stirred restlessly.
“Who?”
Everyone looked over and saw another group rushing over from that side—it was people from Elephant Armor Sect.
It was evident from their attire and burly builds.
“Who might this be? Oh, it’s Elephant Armor Sect’s Hu Yan Lie!”
The leader of Elephant Armor Sect was named Hu Yan Zhuo Lie, a Level 61 Soul Emperor with very strong strength.
“Heh, it’s Prince Xue Xing’s mansion’s Xue Yan. What, you don’t dare to go up?”
Hu Yan Lie sneered at Xue Yan. Having tracked all the way here, he already sensed something was wrong.
He was too familiar with this place. A couple of days ago, he had come here with Hu Yan Zhen and knew full well how terrifying it was.
“Do you dare?”
Xue Yan laughed instead of getting angry. He knew Hu Yan Lie was deliberately provoking him, with a very clear purpose: to borrow Ghost Gate’s hand to eliminate him.
Elephant Armor Sect had long been at odds with Prince Xue Xing’s mansion. Rumors outside said Elephant Armor Sect had secretly sided with Spirit Hall, and their relationship was quite ambiguous.
“Hmph…”
Hu Yan Lie naturally didn’t dare. Last time so many people didn’t dare go up the mountain, let alone this time with just a few.
“Let’s go!”
Seeing that Ling Mo had already entered Ghost Gate, it seemed… he must be from Ghost Gate, otherwise he couldn’t have gotten in.
In that case, Hu Yan Lie had gotten the information he wanted and didn’t need to waste words bickering with Xue Yan here.
In an instant, all of Elephant Armor Sect’s people withdrew, arriving fast and leaving just as fast.
“Boss, what do we do now?”
His subordinates asked unhappily, very displeased with Hu Yan Lie’s tone just now.
“What do we do? What else can we do? Do you dare to go up?”
Xue Yan felt very uncomfortable inside. Before leaving, he had received Prince Xue Xing’s order to find a secluded spot to secretly deal with Ling Mo.
But… things weren’t as simple as he imagined. Ling Mo… was actually from Ghost Gate?
This sect was a major power that had risen abruptly, and it was still unclear whose side they were on.
A sect this large could very well dictate the future direction of the continent. If they allied with another major sect, the so-called balance would shatter instantly.
Not to mention they were already very powerful, comparable to the world’s number one sect—who would dare offend them lightly?
“Let’s go, report back to the Prince and let him decide…”
Xue Yan’s face was extremely ugly as he glanced at the staircase above, still not daring to go up.
Then, he led his group away from Ghost Gate, returning the way they came.
From the Star Picking Tower, Ling Mo watched all this. Through his Dual Pupils, he could clearly see everything at the foot of the mountain.
“Prince Xue Xing? Hmm… if I remember correctly, he… seems to be supporting the Fourth Prince Xue Beng, right?”
Ling Mo murmured to himself. This Xue Beng had hidden deeply in the early stages, backed by Xue Xing; otherwise, he would have been killed by Qian Renxue long ago.
