Chapter 55: Ghost Gate
The result was already clear! Although Meng Shu didn’t know exactly what Ling Mo had done, from Meng Yiran’s reaction, it seemed she had no dissatisfaction at all.
Although Meng Shu was unconvinced, the pressure from Ghost Lord was too strong, so he had no complaints.
However, deep in his heart, his impression of Ling Mo was very deep, and he became increasingly curious about Ling Mo’s origin.
What kind of force was it that was worth a Titled Douluo-level supreme strong expert to escort?
Puzzled in his heart, Meng Shu asked, “Young Friend is indeed extraordinarily talented and peerless in genius! Zhao Wuji, you really taught a good student…”
Meng Shu’s words had hidden meaning; this was probing something? Although Zhao Wuji really wanted to accept this honor, Ling Mo’s strength had nothing to do with him.
“Senior is too kind! This child is indeed an extraordinary genius, but he wasn’t taught by me, old Zhao…”
Zhao Wuji told the truth. In contrast, after hearing this, Meng Shu became even more certain of his thoughts!
His gaze turned to Ghost Lord, finding him completely silent, more like a puppet.
“Oh? May I ask Young Friend, where are you from? If there’s an opportunity, I should pay a visit…”
Meng Shu’s gaze turned to Ling Mo, but Ling Mo just smiled faintly, having already guessed what he wanted to do.
“Probing me? What’s the harm in telling you…” he thought inwardly.
Ling Mo smiled and said, “I come from Ghost Gate! With a Luoyang shovel in hand, the four seas of the world can be my home.
One roar on the Yellow Springs Road, even the King of Hell fears me by three points!
Senior Dragon Duke, if you’re interested! You can come to my Ghost Gate and serve as a guest elder! It wouldn’t be a bad path…”
Ling Mo spoke casually, but his words had a tremendous impact on everyone.
Ghost Gate?
This term appeared in everyone’s minds for the first time, and they thought… on the Continent, besides the Seven Great Sects, when did a Ghost Gate emerge?
With Ghost Lord stationed beside Ling Mo, this Ghost Gate could completely squeeze into the ranks of the Seven Great Sects.
However, no one had ever heard of this sect! Ling Mo’s origin became even more mysterious in everyone’s hearts.
“He really has a great origin! Ghost Gate?” Dai Mubai had been paying attention to Ling Mo from behind.
He originally thought he could suppress Ling Mo in terms of status, but unexpectedly, Ling Mo was the same as him, coming from some great sect.
Moreover, it was a great sect that had never appeared on the Continent! For such a great sect to remain hidden on the Continent for so many years showed its terrifying nature.
In reality, how could they know that Ghost Gate had only been established yesterday?
“Ghost Gate? When did Xiao Mo join this sect? Why don’t I know?” Tang San was very puzzled but didn’t ask Ling Mo directly. With so many people here now, being so reckless might cause trouble.
“Hehe, thank you for looking up to me, Young Friend. As for joining Ghost Gate, I think I’ll pass! This old man is over seventy and no longer seeks anything…”
Meng Shu subtly concealed his inner doubts, smiled, and politely declined Ling Mo’s invitation.
Although he had never heard of Ghost Gate’s existence, after witnessing Ghost Lord’s means today, he believed it wouldn’t be long before this sect spread across the Continent.
It might even directly enter the ranks of the Seven Great Sects and become the Eighth Great Sect.
“Since the victor has been decided, we willingly admit defeat. This Soul Ring is given to you!”
After speaking, Meng Shu called to Snake Dowager and Meng Yiran, “Let’s go…”
The three of them left, but as they departed, Meng Yiran glared viciously at Ling Mo.
Unexpectedly, she was blocked by Zhu Zhuqing in front, who returned it with a cold glare.
With the crisis resolved, no one felt happy because Ghost Lord’s presence made everyone fearful and afraid to speak casually.
At this time, Tang San finally couldn’t hold back and said urgently, “Xiao Mo, can you ask this senior to help save Xiao Wu?”
At this moment, Tang San couldn’t hold back anymore! He had wanted to say it earlier, but with Meng Shu there, he feared Ghost Lord leaving and Meng Shu suddenly causing trouble, so he had been holding it in.
With Ghost Lord’s appearance, everyone seemed to see hope. After all, the only one who could save Xiao Wu now was Ghost Lord.
“Yeah! Xiao Wu was taken away by Titan Giant Ape, her life or death unknown…”
Tang San’s words reminded everyone that at this point they realized Xiao Wu still hadn’t returned.
“Xiao Mo, what do you think…” Zhao Wuji said awkwardly, feeling very guilty for his incompetence in not protecting these children.
“No problem! Xiao San, you first absorb this Soul Ring. Ghost Lord and I will go chase Titan Giant Ape…”
Saying this, Ling Mo took Ghost Lord and was about to leave. Two figures instantly disappeared from the spot, moving at extremely fast speed! Everyone hadn’t reacted before they were already far away.
Star Dou Great Forest was one of the forests with the highest concentration of Soul Beasts. The deeper one went, the more dangerous it became!
Ling Mo’s trip this time wasn’t to find Xiao Wu at all, but to go to Lake of Life and find an opportunity to retrieve the Five-Colored Emperor Flower.
Originally, he planned to ask Tang Hao to help retrieve it, but seeing he had no such intention, he later thought of using this chance to have Xiao Wu help take it.
But considering Xiao Wu’s identity, if she found out he knew her origin, she might never come out again.
Therefore… this time, Ling Mo planned to take it by force!
As for Xiao Wu? Come on, Star Dou Great Forest was her home; no matter who got into trouble, she wouldn’t.
“Going forward from here, about dozens of miles, is Lake of Life! Not sure if Titan Giant Ape has returned.
Once appearing at Lake of Life, it’s very likely to be discovered by Azure Ox Python. Fighting one is fine, but if two join hands, not sure if Ghost Lord can hold up?”
Along the way, Ling Mo had been pondering this issue!
Although he was extremely confident in Ghost Lord’s strength, two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beasts joining hands would still be hard to gain the upper hand.
Dual Pupils fully opened, Ling Mo infinitely expanded his vision, seeing many powerful Soul Beasts hidden in the wind and grass.
During this, many Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts appeared; these things weren’t something current Ling Mo could provoke.
But fortunately, with Ghost Lord there! Just his aura scared them away from approaching.
Otherwise, Ling Mo wouldn’t even qualify to take a step in the inner area! Last time he accidentally dug his way in while grave robbing.
It was that time when Ling Mo almost directly dug into Jing Jue Ancient City. Later, if not for being drawn away by the Bronze Coffin, Ling Mo would have looted Jing Jue Ancient City clean.
The Bronze Coffin’s aura had long disappeared! Its appearances seemed to follow a pattern, once every month.
Ling Mo didn’t know what special meaning this pattern had, but each appearance meant many graves on the Continent would suffer again.
“Ghost Lord! You must protect me well later…”
Ling Mo feared Ghost Lord dropping the ball at a critical moment and repeatedly instructed him! On Ghost Lord’s skeletal face appeared a sinister smile, which creeped Ling Mo out.
This guy was definitely a scheming ghost in life! Particularly liked pranking people.
Earlier in Jing Jue Ancient City, he had badly pranked Ling Mo.
But fortunately! In Ling Mo’s Small Tower, there were still seven Titled Douluo-level commanders. If Ghost Lord proved unreliable then, he had a backup plan.
Once Ghost Gate’s location was selected, Ling Mo would release the Three Thousand Armored Soldiers!
“Lake of Life…”
Crossing the eerie muddy ground, Ling Mo finally saw the vast Lake of Life, with pure life force emanating everywhere, refreshing the mind and spirit.
Another book flops! Haha… tough one.
