The strand of hair between Li Mo’s fingers burst into flames and blue smoke.
Whoosh~
The smoke then drifted eastward.
“What’s that?” Liu Yuxuan was stunned.
“Just as it said, look to the East.”
“Eh?” Liu Yuxuan was flabbergasted. Li Mo held a missing girl’s hair and just up and found her?
“You sure?”
“Not certain, but probable.
“Though I don’t believe you will be able to solve it. I better join too.”
Li Mo stepped and was gone from Liu Yuxuan’s sight.
“Hey! Where’d you go?” Liu Yuxuan stood there stumped.
The Yang girl peeked at her.
Li Mo crossed ten miles in a jump, hurrying along while also sensing his surroundings.
‘The direction is correct, now all that’s left is the distance.’
Li Mo picked up some faint signals and stopped.
‘Misty Mountain?’
It was on this bare yet white peak that Li Mo once rescued Bai Wudi.
Li Mo sank into the earth.
Ten seconds later, four buffed men ran over.
The Zhuge brothers…
Li Mo was speechless.
The four Zhuge brothers were Experts Alliance’s treasury guards. Each one of them was of immense power, but when combined, it reached a whole new level. Li Mo once entered their array, taking advantage of their Eight Trigrams array thanks to his understanding of it.
But a question remained, what on earth were they doing here?
“Did you find anything?”
“I clearly picked up a strong signal here.”
“Yeah, at least a forth level.”
“Probably a passing mountain monster.”
“What nonsense are you spewing? There’s been no awakening since the founding of the country.”
“What else could it have be then?”
“Forget it, let’s go back.”
The Zhuge brothers left after a brief look around.
Li Mo hid his qi signature as he rose from the ground.
The Zhuge brothers chatted as they entered a cave, oblivious to the one tailing behind.
An acrid stench hit one’s nose upon entering it. He did not see any other guards besides the four brothers, but he found jail cells holding fifty girls with dull and haggard faces.
Huang Yao, Ye Mei, and Li Weiwei were there as well.
Zhuge brothers started drinking.
“We used to do this once every few years, but now we get to do it yearly. This doesn’t look good.”
“What’s the use of thinking about it? We only need to do our part.”
“Chief entrusted us with watching over the place. Just think about it. Even Vice-chief Lan is only qualified to carry it out and not guard this place.”
“True.”
“The chief just values us more. Vice-chief Lan is upright, but a man after all. We, however, are different. When chief took us in, he…”
“Don’t say it. Being a man doesn’t matter as long as we brothers are together.”
“Yeah, yeah, yeah. Women and money are worthless as long as we are safe.”
“I’ll drink to that!”
“Big brother, a toast.”
“Let’s drink!”
“Ha!”
The Zhuge brothers sank into a drinking spree.
Li Mo walked in.
“Li Mo!”
“What are you doing here?”
The Zhuge brothers jumped to their feet.
“Chief sent me.”
“Eh?”
“Chief thought it’s been too hard on you brothers and sent me to help.”
“Cut the crap. Chief won’t even see Vice-chief Lan without informing him while we can see him whenever we want!”
“Kill him!”
“The secret here can’t get out. Sorry, Li Mo!”
The Zhuge brothers used arrays as means of attack, combining their strength and even increasing it many times. But before Li Mo, they might as well not have bothered.
Even so, Li Mo had no intention of facing their array head on. He just threw away the Underworld Stone and watched how the brothers wobbled as if drunk, then collapse.
“As you are guilty by association. You shall be the first prisoners in my God Prison!“
Li Mo took out his pagoda he’d been refining and threw the brothers in its top floor.
This magic weapon was far from finished, but its shape was set, with 18 floors. Each had 3600 cells, that could hold ten prisoners.
Li Mo dubbed this incomplete magic weapon, God Prison.
On the top floor, the Zhuge brothers felt like ants, ramming into the bars with all they had, despite how futile it all was.
This incomplete God Prison was made from a thousand metals. Not even an eighth level could escape, least of all the Zhuge brothers.
“Brother Mo, I knew you’d rescue me!” Huang Yao was ecstatic.
Li Mo threw away the lock to a cell and Li Weiwei threw herself in his arms, crying.
“What the hell? Hurry and let me out. Don’t walk away!”
Li Mo held Li Weiwei and walked out, ignoring Huang Yao.
“Stop shouting. He didn’t come for you.” Ye Mei spoke.
“How can that be? We’re childhood sweethearts.”
“Ha-ha, get over yourself. If you’d cared for him before, even if he might not have liked you, he wouldn’t be hard on you. But now…”
“What about now?”
“You are the last person he ever wants to see. “
Li Mo set up an array at the cave entrance, then left with Warp.
“Ahh!” Liu Yuxuan cried.
Li Mo hadn’t been gone for more than ten minutes.
Li Mo said, “Millie Snow, go help my sister change. Mite Snow, go make her something to eat.”
“Yes, master.” The two ran.
Liu Yuxuan glowed. She never would’ve guessed Li Mo’s house had servants. And they were so pretty too…
Li Weiwei was taken care of by the snow people.
“Misty Mountain, that’s where all the missing girls are. Take your team there and bring them back.”
Liu Yuxuan gave her a talisman. Only those wearing this talisman could pass through the array he set on the cave’s mouth.
“On it.” Liu Yuxuan no longer had any doubts about Li Mo.
