Chapter 27 Meeting with Li Tianluo
Captain Mu took a few deep breaths and sighed, "This official sword has been with me for many years. I didn't expect it to break like this. But now this low-grade weapon is really not suitable for me to use."
Lin Mo nodded awkwardly after hearing this. After all, he had already used all his strength in the last attack, which was a bit beyond the boundaries of simple sparring. He said, "I'm sorry, Uncle Mu, once I start, I will get more and more serious, and I can't stop in the end."
Captain Mu said: "It's because you haven't practiced martial arts for long. It's easy to release the over-expanded power, but it's hard to take it back. In addition, your moves are killing skills. However, this has its pros and cons. A knife user should move forward courageously and kill any powerful enemy.
Let me roughly talk about your strengths and weaknesses first. First of all, your moves are very skillful, and they are all mainly aimed at killing, which is far beyond the strength of your current realm. Before using the Zhenhai Power, you are probably not much different from those ordinary marrow-refining perfectionists. After using the Zhenhai Power, you should be able to be comparable to the disciples of large sects. I have to say that you have a strong comprehension, and the Zhenhai Tianshan Gong technique mainly depends on comprehension.
I didn't expect you to learn in such a short time. Secondly, your application of Zhenhai Jin was not smooth enough, and there were slight pauses. You should pay more attention to this. The last move was about the strength of a disciple of a third or fourth major sect who has practiced Qi. This should be your initial application of the sword heart."
Lin Mo nodded and said, "These are some techniques that I have gradually mastered after realizing the prototype of the sword's heart. After all, I am also a wild fox Zen, so I don't know some specific information about this."
Captain Mu continued, "I won't ask you about the sources of your skills. I think it must be your chance. But if you don't have a master, it's best for you to join a big force. The books there will benefit you a lot.
This is also the fundamental difference between disciples of major sects and independent cultivators. As for the last move, it’s okay when you’re fighting one-on-one, but you have no allies in the underground palace, so don’t use it if you can.”
Lin Mo also knew that after using this move, most of his internal strength would be drained away. Even if he defeated one enemy, once the second one appeared, he might not even have a chance to escape. Although the Blood Killing Sword Technique was powerful, it was a killing skill after all, and it was too focused on speed. Once stuck in a stalemate, he would lack the opportunity to kill with one blow, and would lose his combat effectiveness after using the Sword Heart. This was Lin Mo's biggest weakness at the moment.
Captain Mu finally said, "But you still beat me in the end, so you are pretty good. However, the underground palace is not only about fighting with strength but also about fighting with wits. When all forces gather before entering the underground palace, the fight will begin. So from then on, you can't retreat. If you retreat a step, you will be beaten and will be considered weak and easy to bully by other forces, and then kicked out. You must remember this."
Lin Mo nodded in agreement. At this time, the surrounding environment was completely destroyed and there was not even a place to talk. Captain Mu waited until Lin Mo had recovered almost completely and then returned to the yamen first.
At the foot of Jinyang Mountain, Lin Mo was still thinking about some details of his previous battle. Although Captain Mu was defeated by him, Captain Mu did not use his full strength after all, and he had been defending and blocking. As the saying goes, "If you defend for too long, you will lose." In the end, it was because Captain Mu's knife was broken and he was a little dazed, which allowed Lin Mo to use an unexpected finger and barely win.
However, this trick can only be used once. If used too much, it will definitely have no effect. I still need to concentrate on practicing and avoid being impatient. At this time, Lin Mo suppressed his excitement and prepared to return to Jinyang City.
At this time, a black shadow flashed by, and a middle-aged man in black robes stood in front of Lin Mo and said, "Boy, were you the one who caused the fight on the mountain just now?"
Lin Mo secretly thought that this was not good. He did not expect that he would be blocked by someone before he recovered to his full strength. His mind was quickly thinking about how to deal with the crisis in front of him, and he was not sure whether the person who came was a friend or an enemy.
So he replied with false respect: "Yes, senior, because the underground palace is about to be opened, my uncle is instructing me in my cultivation. But my uncle has to go back first because of some important matters in the government office. Otherwise, I believe my uncle would be very happy to meet you, senior."
Lin Mo intentionally or unintentionally pointed out that his uncle was a member of the imperial court, and vaguely expressed that his uncle's strength far exceeded his own, just to arouse the fear of the man in black robe.
The black-robed man was indeed silent for a moment, and continued, "I just looked at some traces on the top of the mountain. With your strength, there aren't many people in Jinyang City who can guide you well. Could it be that your uncle's surname is Mu?"
Lin Mo was stunned and said, "That's true. My uncle Mu is now the chief constable of Jinyang City, and he will be promoted soon."
My mind was still working quickly, thinking: Anyone who can judge my strength by my battle traces must be at least at the fifth level of Qi training. Secondly, when I heard that there was someone in the yamen who could give me guidance, I thought of my Uncle Mu first, which means that I am also aware of Uncle Mu's strength. It's just that Uncle Mu has always been low-key, and even I didn't know that Uncle Mu had reached the acquired realm before.
Then he looked at the man in black robe twice and continued to think: he was wearing a black robe covering his face and had gloves on his hands. This was the man that Uncle Mu mentioned before who took Yun Zhongqing away from the Jiaoshe Gang. He had a black robe covering his face and was good at claw attacks. Everything fit the description.
Could he be Li Hu's uncle? This was a good opportunity, the best opportunity to lure him into taking action against Hu Weidi, but how could he show that he also had a deep hatred for the Hu family without arousing his vigilance?
At this time, a man in green caught up with the man in black robe, panting, and said, "Sir, could you please wait for me for a moment? I am much weaker than you."
Lin Mo took one look at the man in green and knew that this should be Yun Tianqing. From what he said to Uncle Li Hu, it seemed that the two of them had become quite familiar with each other now.
At this time, Yun Tianqing noticed Lin Mo. After taking a look, he didn't take it seriously at first. After all, many young people who came to Jinyang City recently had this level of cultivation. After a brief pause, he stared at Lin Mo in surprise, saying, "You are, you are, this shouldn't be the case. How can you have this level of strength now?"
The black-robed man asked Yun Tianqing, "Do you know who he is? He is the nephew of Captain Mu. If you want revenge, do it yourself. I won't help you. Recently, the masters of the court are also gathering in Jinyang City. It's just the destruction of a small gang. You should be sober."
Yun Tianqing whispered to the man in black robes, “I don’t know if he is the nephew of Captain Mu, but I know his name is Lin Mo. Wang Kun from the Earth Tiger Society, which was ranked as one of the two major gangs with me, wanted to cause trouble for him.
I heard that it was because the second young master of the Hu family stole this boy's childhood sweetheart as his wife, but this kind of thing is not uncommon in such a big family. It's just that in the end, for some reason, the case of Wang Kun was left unresolved. If he was the nephew of Captain Mu, it would be understandable.
Sir, I don't want revenge now. I also know that this is the request of the court. Fortunately, the Jiaoshe Gang was destroyed, otherwise I would not have met you and had the opportunity to join the Yiqi Society. "
The black-robed man said to Yun Tianqing, "You said that he has a grudge against Hu Yi, the second young master of the Hu family? Are you sure?"
Yun Tianqing replied: "Of course. I heard that after Hu Yi took away Lin Mo's childhood sweetheart, he got drunk every day and became a famous drunkard. But I didn't expect that after three days, I would take a closer look. The current Lin Mo is completely different from the drunkard Lin Mo before."
The black-robed man didn't find it strange. There were many cases of people being slapped in the face by big families and then taking revenge in the intelligence of the Yiqi Society. He said to Lin Mo, "Do you have a grudge against the Hu family?"
After hearing this, Lin Mo's mind flashed through countless plans, and he showed a deep hatred. He angrily replied: "The hatred of stealing my wife is irreconcilable. This trip to the underground palace is to make Hu Yi of the Hu family pay the price. But my uncle can't intervene openly because of his relationship with the court, otherwise I am sure that the Hu family will be destroyed!"
Then another horrified expression appeared as if he had just reacted and asked, "Who are you? Are you a friend of the Hu family, so you came to help the Hu family?"
The black-robed man laughed softly and said, "I'm not in a position to tell you who I am, but I have a grudge against the Hu family. It's difficult for me to strike a comprehensive blow to the Hu family alone. Boy, you just said that you are sure that you can destroy the Hu family. Can you tell me in detail? You should know that if I am really friends with the Hu family, wouldn't it be better for me to kill you directly?"
Lin Mo thought for a moment and said in a daze: "If I can cooperate with the senior, I am sure that I can destroy the Hu family. The senior should be able to see that my combat power is far beyond the realm. There are many ways to kill Hu Yi in the underground palace.
As long as Hu Yi is eliminated, Hu Weidi will have no successor. If the senior kills or injures Hu Weidi at this time, the Hu family will inevitably fall into chaos due to the struggle for power. According to my uncle, the imperial court also wants to deal with the families that are dominating the cities.
It's just that there is no good reason. When the Hu family is in chaos, we will spread the news that the Hu family and the Earth Tiger Society are colluding to destroy the reputation of the Hu family. At this time, Hu Weidi will be injured and will definitely not be able to calm the situation, and the elders will start internal strife. The court can take the opportunity to wipe out the Hu family without leaving any handle. Besides, there may be evidence that Hu Yi or the Hu family has a close relationship with the Earth Tiger Society."
After hearing this, the man in black robe couldn't help but admire that this was indeed a good idea. The Jiaoshe Gang was a big gang in Jinyang City, and the Dihu Society, which was on par with it, naturally had many spies inside to gather information, so they also knew that the Dihu Society should have a close connection with the Hu family.
The man in black robe got this information from Yun Tianqing but didn't know how to use it. Lin Mo's appearance at this time just made up for the man in black robe's shortcomings.
Now the key lies in whether Lin Mo can get rid of Hu Yi, and whether he can injure Hu Weidi. Although the specific strength of Hu Weidi is unclear, it is estimated that he will not exceed the acquired realm, so the two biggest difficulties are solved.
The man in black robe thought for a moment and said, "You should know what kind of person Hu Weidi's eldest son Hu Ling is. If he intervenes in this matter, how should we solve it?"
Lin Mo replied: "I have investigated, Hu Ling doesn't care about the Hu family at all, and Hu Weidi has not allowed Hu Ling to practice martial arts since he was a child. I believe the elders of the Hu family also know these things, otherwise the Hu family would not be trapped in this small Jinyang City.
When I kill Hu Yi and the underground palace is closed, I can send people to spread the news in Jinyang City that Hu Ling and Hu Weidi had severed their father-son relationship long ago, which can also give the elders of the Hu family more confidence in fighting for power.
Secondly, you don’t need to worry about these things. I will be the one who kills Hu Ling’s brother, and the one who kills Hu Ling’s father is the Great Mo Dynasty. So you can get revenge without getting involved in any subsequent troubles. Isn’t that great?”
