Currently, as he traversed through the mountains, no one would blame him for Mu Ming’s death.
The Mu family, which had lost Mu Ming, the Great Elder, and a group of experts, could only be destroyed after the fourth prince left.
Unless the fourth prince was really willing to spend all his money, Lin Mo would have won this battle.
“I wonder if Lin die and Yan Rong have come out of seclusion,”Lin Mo muttered to himself.
He first came to the place where he had entered seclusion. However, the place was already in a mess, as if it had experienced a great battle.
“What’s going on?”
Lin Mo was shocked. He had only left for a day, how could there be such a huge change in this place.
“Lin Die is fine...”after carefully sensing it, Lin Mo heaved a sigh of relief.
Lin Die had returned the profits from the auction and had a connection with him that originated from his soul. If something happened, he would be able to sense it.
After searching around, Lin Mo found some footprints. There were traces of humans and demonic beasts.
“Not long ago, there was a battle here,”Lin Mo said, and Yan Rong and Lin Die’s auras were lighter.
“Lin Mo searched around, but he still couldn’t find Yan Rong and Lin Die. Finally, with his outstanding soul power, he found the information Yan Rong left in a cave.”
See You in the Imperial City!
The auras of Lin Die and Yan Rong could be seen in the cave. Besides that, there were also spatial fluctuations. The two of them used the spatial teleportation formation to leave.
“What’s going on?”
Lin Mo was a little surprised. Something must have happened in this mountainous area, causing Yan Rong to have no choice but to take Lin die and leave.
When he thought about how he had been searching the entire way and how there were traces of battle everywhere, he furrowed his brows tightly.
He did not expect that such a thing would actually happen in the vast and boundless mountains.
Following that, Lin Mo searched the entire way, wanting to find out what exactly had happened.
However, the result shocked him greatly. There were quite a number of mercenary groups here. Some of them even had powerhouses at the dragonification stage rank-31.
“Something’s wrong. Something must have happened here.”
Seven days later, Lin Mo was deep in thought on a mountain peak. He had already encountered several mercenary groups. They all had the same goal, which was to escort the merchant groups.
However, Lin Mo’s sharp senses noticed that these people who were nominally from the merchant groups were actually not merchants at all.
He secretly observed that these people should be hiding something.
“There’s a town ahead. I’d better go there first to gather some information.”
Lin Mo muttered to himself, because he did not understand what was going on either. It was better for him to gather some information.
Jade Cloud City was a relatively small town. Its scale was not even as big as Lin City, but fortunately, it was located in the center of Ancient Flame City and another important city, Heavenly Cloud City. Thus, it had a relatively wide circulation of business.
At the same time, the news here was also relatively well-informed.
Lin Mo walked alone in the mountains. There were many mercenary groups here, and they were all here to hunt demonic beasts.
However, their levels were generally not very high. They were the permanent mercenary groups of Blue Cloud City.
Lin Mo mingled among them and followed them into the city.
However, as soon as he entered, he felt that something was wrong. This was because many people were staring at him and his group.
This was especially so after he had split up with the mercenary group after entering, allowing the people in the dark to continuously release their soul power to check.
This made Lin Mo very surprised. Was there a need to be so cautious? Even a passerby like him had to be checked...
“This is very fishy. Just those who are these people? They’re at least in tier 28 or tier 27 in the Dragon Transformation Realm, I can already feel more than a dozen of them.” Lin Mo was puzzled.
This kind of lineup was already comparable to Ancient Flame City from before.
Lin Mo stayed in Jade Cloud City and waited for two whole days, but he did not see any movement.
However, on the third day, the entire Jade Cloud City had a change. A spiri-grade great formation was activated and sealed this place.
“Heavens, what’s this?” Some people cried out in surprise.
In Jade Cloud City, many merchants were moving between Ancient Flame City and Heavenly Cloud City.
Some of them decided to leave today, but they found that there was a great formation sealing this place, making it difficult for them to leave.
“This is a formation that forbids flying, which means that the spatial teleportation formation can no longer be used.”
The vendors who stopped in Jade Cloud City were all shocked, not understanding what had happened.
“Alas, what should have happened will happen anyway. Everyone, be careful. It’s best not to go out for the time being.”
“Lord Bao, do you know anything? Tell me about it. I’ve recently accepted an escort mission.”
“Escort? Can’t you see that we can’t even get out?”
In Biyun city, many experts felt uneasy and did not understand what was going on.
Soon, though, news came that they could still go out, but they had to go through layers of checks.
At the same time, there was also news that this matter was related to the Qinghuai Holy Land. The Holy Land had almost sent out their entire force to capture one person.
“If any of you have seen this person, you can report to the ten thousand family auction house to confirm that the report is true. The reward is 100,000 low-grade spirit stones.”
“If the target is captured because of this news, the reward will be 1,000,000 low-grade spirit stones.”
A large group of people walked on the streets and posted a wanted notice, offering a reward for others.
Lin Mo also received a wanted notice. It was a drawing of a beautiful woman.
Her light blue eyes were extremely intelligent, and they had a strange vertical pupil.
The information on the wanted notice showed that this person was a demonic beast in human form. As for what kind of demonic beast it was, Lin Mo did not know.
After reading it, Lin Mo casually threw the wanted notice away. He did not want to get involved in such matters.
However, since he was already here, he did not mind going to the auction house to take a look.
However, what made him feel regretful was that the last time the auction was held was only half a month ago. There was still half a month before the auction was to be held.
Lin Mo could only walk around helplessly. Jade Cloud City was sealed off, so he could not leave now.
Although he could leave after exposing his identity, this would create another problem.
The Mu family had just met with an accident, and Lin Mo had already left Ancient Flame City more than twenty days ago. At the very least, he would be in Heavenly Cloud City now.
Once he was exposed, even if there was no evidence, some people would think that Lin Mo was the one who killed Mu Ming.
“Eh!”
Walking on the road, Lin Mo was a little surprised. His spiritual power sensed a different aura.
In front of him, a peddler was selling the items on the table.
What surprised Lin Mo was that among these items, there was a familiar aura.
“Sir, where did you get this jade pendant?” Lin Mo walked forward, grabbed a jade pendant and asked.
“I obtained it by chance. If you want it, you can exchange it with the Yuan regeneration pill.” The stall owner was a woman, and her voice was calm as she spoke.
However, Lin Mo could still detect something amiss from her voice. This woman had suffered serious internal injuries...
Moreover, the Yuan regeneration pill was a low grade ninth tier spirit pill. It was the best medicine for healing injuries.
After careful examination, Lin Mo discovered another problem. That extremely familiar aura on the jade pendant was actually from an acquaintance.
“This is... Bai Luo’s jade pendant...”
