"Are you looking for me? What is it? Have you found Ling Mo Xie? Hmph! This kid really knows how to stir things up. If it weren't for you, my lord, I think dealing with him would take quite a bit of effort, haha!"
Before long, Liu Wanshan arrived at the mysterious person's courtyard with Long Zheng, laughing as he spoke.
"My informant told me that Ling Mo Xie has entered the city. From here on out, it's up to you. I've helped you this much, so don't let me down!" The voice did not respond to Liu Wanshan's words but continued to give orders.
"What? Aren't you going to take action? As far as I know, you don't want Ling Mo Xie to have it easy either, right?"
Hearing the voice, Liu Wanshan was clearly surprised and asked in confusion.
Previously, after receiving news from the Divine Martial Gate that Ling Mo Xie had left the Izumo Kingdom, Liu Wanshan set off with Long Zheng to find trouble with Ling Mo Xie. However, they had no idea that Xiao Peng was incredibly fast and had already left them behind, leaving them lost and confused.
They eventually encountered the mysterious man in black, who claimed to be an enemy of Ling Mo Xie and knew some of his whereabouts. That's how Liu Wanshan and Long Zheng ended up following the black-clad figures to Falling Star City.
In response to Liu Wanshan's words, the mysterious figure in black replied calmly, "What? Are you lacking confidence in yourself? I have no need for such a Waste!"
"You!" Liu Wanshan glared at the mysterious person wrapped in a black cloak. After a cold snort, he said, "Fine, I didn't expect much help from you anyway. Since you've helped us locate Ling Mo Xie, then thank you!"
"No need for thanks. I only want Ling Mo Xie dead. Now that you've found him, I have nothing more to offer you. Until we meet again!"
As soon as the words were spoken, a swirl of black mist rose from the cloaked figure, and he vanished without a trace.
Watching the black-clad person disappear before him, Liu Wanshan's expression turned cold as he unceremoniously sat down in a chair and said, "These people in black don't seem like good folks..."
"Who cares who they are? As long as they helped us find Ling Mo Xie, they're our friends!" Long Zheng replied with a smile.
Liu Wanshan glanced at Long Zheng, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes. Hmph! No brains at all; who knows if those black-clad people have any ulterior motives? It's better to be cautious.
Meanwhile, the black-clad figure had already left the city and was leisurely making his way while muttering to himself, "Last time I couldn't take this kid's life. I doubt these two will succeed either. Sigh, let's just see what they're up to!"
At this moment, Ling Mo Xie and Hong Chi were completely unaware that they had already been targeted. They found a restaurant and booked a room, each resting after the series of events that had left them quite exhausted.
Liu Wanshan and Long Zheng learned of Ling Mo Xie's whereabouts but did not rush to find them. After all, in their eyes, victory was already assured, so there was no need to hurry.
A night passed, and early the next morning, Ling Mo Xie took Hong Chi out of the city, planning to find a more secluded spot outside the city to summon Xiao Peng and return to Izumo Kingdom as soon as possible.
After all, a creature like Xiao Peng, with such extraordinary bloodlines, was quite rare in this world—at least in the places Ling Mo Xie had been. He certainly did not want to attract anyone's attention.
However, just as they exited the city and walked into a small grove to summon Xiao Peng, they heard a loud laugh coming from within the woods.
Upon hearing this sound, Ling Mo Xie frowned. This was...
"Haha, what’s up? Didn’t expect to run into us here, did you?" Liu Wanshan and Long Zheng were full of confidence and saw no need to hide. They stepped out with smug expressions, looking at Ling Mo Xie and hoping to find a hint of panic on his face.
"So it’s the sore loser! What? Looking for your grandpa?" To Liu Wanshan's disappointment, Ling Mo Xie's face showed no sign of shock; he merely smiled lightly and said calmly.
"Crack! Crack!" Liu Wanshan's knuckles popped as he squeezed them in frustration. Arrogant—truly arrogant!
"What sore loser? I've seen arrogance before, but never like yours!" Liu Wanshan pointed at Ling Mo Xie's nose and snorted coldly.
Ling Mo Xie glanced at him indifferently: "It seems you’ve forgotten what happened at the Izumo National Banquet? If you can’t win, you resort to underhanded tactics. I’ve understood that much; however, it seems your memory isn’t very good."
"You..." Hearing Ling Mo Xie mention the events at the Izumo National Banquet made Liu Wanshan's face flush red with embarrassment, nearly losing his composure as he began to channel his Spiritual Energy to attack Ling Mo Xie.
Seeing Liu Wanshan's movement, Ling Mo Xie merely smiled faintly. He understood Liu Wanshan's strength and felt no fear; he just wondered how this sore loser dared to confront him with only two people. Was there someone hiding nearby?
Thinking this way, Ling Mo Xie didn’t pay much attention to Liu Wanshan but cautiously surveyed his surroundings instead. He also taunted Liu Wanshan: "I’m not interested in sore losers; you should just step aside!"
After all, they were two people. Seeing Liu Wanshan looking like he was about to explode, Long Zheng quickly grabbed him and whispered, "Brother Liu, you mustn't act impulsively! Think about our plan, okay? He’s not wrong; if we rush in like this, we... we don’t have a guaranteed victory!"
Hearing Long Zheng's words, Liu Wanshan paused for a moment, suppressing the anger boiling inside him. He shot a fierce glare at Ling Mo Xie, then forced a smile and said, "Heh, that's right. Someone like you only knows how to charge in recklessly. Let me teach you that having a powerful force as a backing is the right way!"
"Hmm?" Ling Mo Xie looked at Liu Wanshan. Did he really bring help? But he hadn’t sensed anything at all; could it be a master?
With this thought, Ling Mo Xie's expression became serious. "Use whatever tricks you have."
"You really don't know the heights of heaven or depths of earth!" Liu Wanshan glanced disdainfully at Ling Mo Xie. "Let me show you something!"
With that, he activated his Spiritual Energy, and a unique aura of heaven and earth began to swirl around him. Ling Mo Xie felt puzzled; what did this mean? Wasn’t he bringing help?
Soon enough, Ling Mo Xie saw through Liu Wanshan's intentions and couldn't help but smile at the absurdity of it all. So that was it.
As Liu Wanshan circulated his Spiritual Energy, Ling Mo Xie could sense spatial fluctuations similar to when he summoned Big White and Xiao Peng. Now he understood that Liu Wanshan probably wanted to summon his own Beast Pet.
Ling Mo Xie knew that in this world, while Beast Pets were powerful—especially those belonging to disciples of large factions who had the protection of their elders—Beast Pets could not be contracted at will.
It depended on the strength of one’s mental energy. Generally, a person could only contract one Beast Pet, and there were few methods to increase mental energy over time. Contracting a Beast Pet stronger than oneself required even more mental energy.
Ling Mo Xie didn’t believe that Liu Wanshan had exceptionally strong mental energy capable of contracting a super Not Bad Beast Pet. Mental energy was generally proportional to talent; if Liu Wanshan had extraordinary talent, he wouldn’t just be a disciple of the Divine Martial Gate.
After all, while the Divine Martial Gate was considered one of the three major sects in the Izumo Kingdom, it hardly held any significant status in the entire Cultivation World.
While pondering this, a dark, slowly rotating void appeared beside Liu Wanshan, from which a tremendous roar emerged, causing countless beasts in the forest to flee in panic.
"Not bad; it seems you do have some strength!" Ling Mo Xie didn’t even rush to attack and spoke to Liu Wanshan with an indifferent tone.
Liu Wanshan saw Ling Mo Xie's calm and unhurried attitude, which only fueled his anger. The Spiritual Energy within him began to surge rapidly, and the black hole that had been slowly forming expanded quickly, a giant claw reaching out from within.
As Ling Mo Xie had anticipated, Liu Wanshan's mental strength was not particularly strong, so summoning a Beast Pet that was more powerful than himself was not an easy task. If Ling Mo Xie had rushed in to attack right away, Liu Wanshan might not have had the chance to summon his Beast Pet at all.
"Awoo!" Finally, a leopard-like creature leaped out of the black hole, letting out a loud roar as if to declare its existence.
The leopard was entirely gray, with jet-black spots on its fur. Its size was similar to that of an ordinary leopard, but its two long fangs protruded sharply, glinting like swords, seemingly incredibly sharp. Its eyes were fixed intently on Ling Mo Xie, sensing its master's hatred towards him.
Ling Mo Xie instantly assumed a combat stance and skillfully cast a Detection Skill on the leopard, gathering some incomplete information.
Xuanming Black Panther (Liu Wanshan's Beast Pet): Level: 117. Skills: Xuanming Flame, Xuanming Black Ice, ???, ???
"Level 117, late Separation Stage? Hmph, no wonder Liu Wanshan is so confident. Although I defeated him at the Izumo National Banquet, my displayed cultivation was only at the Nascent Soul Stage. The Separation Stage is indeed enough to handle the Nascent Soul Stage..."
Ling Mo Xie looked at the black panther before him that was baring its teeth and roaring. The excitement of being able to gather information under the Detection Skill showed above its head.
Hearing Ling Mo Xie's muttering to himself, Hong Chi looked up and said, "Boss, what did you say? This leopard doesn't look like a good Spirit Beast; let me handle it!"
"No, although this leopard doesn't seem impressive, its cultivation is decent—late Separation Stage. Let me take care of it myself. You block Liu Wanshan and Long Zheng; with this leopard plus those two, I'm not sure I can handle them," Ling Mo Xie instructed Hong Chi.
Upon hearing Ling Mo Xie's words, Liu Wanshan laughed loudly: "You really overestimate yourself. You're just at the Nascent Soul Stage and dare to think about taking on someone from the Separation Stage?"
