Liu Shizhong and Li Mo talked for a while longer. He appreciated Li Mo’s resolve and defiance of authority. He was the same back in the day, having enough of the petty squabbles in court and those slimy people. But had to give up for the sake of his clan. With Li Mo showing up, Liu Shizhong wished for him …

“There’s no place like home.” Li Mo came out of cultivation after two days. His injury looked a lot better with Xuanyuan Wudi’s initial help, needing but a few days to heal. Li Mo handed over the regent and Daoist Tian Yi’s soul to Xuanyuan Wudi, not interested in what torture would they be put through. Clear Domain never announced …

Xuanyuan Wudi eased a breath. But knew from Li Mo’s look he was injured. “Thank you, little Mo.” It came from Xuanyuan Wudi’s heart.

Elder Qin was the mightiest in the regent manor with his poison skill. Yet a Martial Soul ended up squashed by a youth. “Li Mo, y-you killed Elder Qin.
