Chapter 9: Intelligence of the Hu Family
Tang Yu nodded and said, "It's Hu Ling. The Hu family doesn't mean anything to me, but it was because of Hu Ling that I investigated the Hu family before. In fact, I came to Jinyang City this time to see if I could run into him."
Lin Mo asked puzzledly: "Is there any grudge between you two?"
Tang Yu smiled bitterly and said, "It's nothing to tell you, it's just that I was a little arrogant when I first debuted. The Tang Sect is located in Sichuan and Shu, and is affiliated with the Datang Dynasty. Although the location is not as remote as Jinyang City, it is still not close to the center of the Central Plains.
I debuted at the eighth level of Qi training, and my goal was to be in the top ten of the human list. My vision was too narrow before. In addition, in Sichuan and Shu regions, apart from my Tang Sect headquarters, there is the Ten Thousand Poison Hall of the Nine Nether Evil Sect, and the Ten Thousand Poison Hall is in a semi-secluded state. Therefore, among the peers I met, the highest level of cultivation was far behind me.
As a result, when I first stepped out of Sichuan and Shu, I felt that there might be people of my generation who could match me, but few who could surpass me. Even if they were at the top of the list, I thought it was because of my age. After a few years, I would naturally be able to put them under my feet until I entered the Central Plains. "
“The central area of the Central Plains is located at the junction of the four great dynasties. It is also the headquarters of the Tianji Palace. It is the place where martial arts are the most powerful and where many heroes gather.
When I first arrived here, I met the tenth on the human list challenging the sixth. The strength of these two people was already in the middle stage of the acquired realm at that time, but I heard from people around them that these two people could jump over levels and fight against those in the early stage of the innate realm. Returning from the acquired to the innate realm is a big key, and the difference between the acquired perfection and the early stage of the innate realm is even greater, not to mention that these two people are both in the middle stage of the acquired realm.
The fight between these two was so fast that I couldn't see clearly, and I even felt that I couldn't block any sword energy from one of them. These two people were only about two years older than me.
Now two years have passed, and even when I think back to their final battle, I still feel that I would not be able to stop a single move from either of them.”
"One of them was the tenth on the Human Ranking at that time, and is now the fifth on the Human Ranking. The core disciple of Lujian Mountain, Tian Juejian Hu Ling."
Lin Mo couldn't help but sigh after hearing this. He didn't expect the gap between the two to be so huge. With Tang Yu's strength, he couldn't even take a single move from him, let alone Hu Ling who couldn't even take a single move from Tang Yu. Then he asked, "So did Hu Ling, who ranked tenth on the Human List, get promoted because he succeeded in the challenge?"
Tang Yu shook his head and said, "No, Hu Ling lost. He lost in ten moves. The gap between the top ten on the Human Ranking is very large. The other person was once the sixth on the Human Ranking and is now the third on the Human Ranking. Muhuang Buddhist Temple Buddha Demon Xuanzhan."
"Buddha Demon? Will the three Buddhist temples allow this title?"
"This demon does not refer to demonic energy, but to Xuan Zhan's fighting style. He usually keeps silent, but once he starts fighting, he becomes as violent as a madman. In addition, the Heavenly Buddha Tyrant Fist he practices mainly uses close-range physical attacks, so the fight will appear particularly fierce."
Lin Mo couldn't help but feel longing at this moment. This was the world he wanted, where heroes and masters gathered together, instead of staying in a small town like now, where the strongest one could only practice marrow refining.
Lin Mo then thought that now that the eldest son of the Hu family was not around, could the Hu family find a way to steal the brocade box? Although he was a little curious about the items in the brocade box, the most important thing was the heart of his predecessor Lin Mo.
The death of her ex was because the person she trusted the most deceived her and stole the most precious thing left by her parents, which led to her daily alcoholism and eventually her death. This is why Lin Mo has taken advantage of her and is now occupying her position.
But this body is not his own after all, and his predecessor might have been too resentful before his death, so that his control over this body has not yet reached the unity of soul and flesh. If he helps his predecessor complete this tracing, he can release and sublimate this resentment and let it disappear.
So he asked Tang Yu, "Brother Tang, since Hu Ling is so powerful, does his family have any masters? However, in the past few years that I have been in Jinyang City, the Hu family has always been very low-key. Although they are the number one family in Jinyang City, they rarely communicate with the outside world."
Tang Yu said disdainfully: "Hu Ling is strong because he is Hu Ling. As for the Hu family, they don't have that ability. I met the strongest patriarch of the Hu family two days ago, and he should still be in the Qi training stage.
As for Hu Ling's younger brother, he looks gentle and refined, but his body has long been hollowed out by alcohol and sex. It is estimated that he is only at the eighth level of marrow refining, and it was forced up by elixirs.
It is estimated that the Hu family has placed all the blessings of his family on Hu Ling. It is said that although Hu Ling's physical aptitude is average, his comprehension is extremely high. He realized his own Tianjue sword energy through the four absolute sword energies of Lujian Mountain, and his lethality is even greater than the former. He is truly an amazing talent. "
Lin Mo felt relieved after hearing this. Although the Hu family was not something he could deal with now, his main task was about to be completed. He believed that there would be good rewards. Moreover, there was a great opportunity in the underground palace. As long as he could improve to the eighth or ninth level of marrow refining, he would dare to give it a try.
More importantly, his current goal is not to kill people, but to get the brocade box back. There should be a more suitable method for this. The intelligence on the Hu family is still insufficient, and there has been no movement from the Yiqi Society.
Maybe they really treated Li Hu as a discarded pawn. After all, if it weren't for his uncle who was a deacon, it would be impossible for a small figure who practiced physical training to join such a big gang. The rest could only rely on himself.
So the two continued to chat, Tang Yu casually talking about some gossip he heard in the world. After all, Lin Mo was a business tycoon in his previous life, so naturally he followed Tang Yu's lead intentionally or unintentionally during the conversation, which made Tang Yu very excited.
The two drank until the afternoon, and the remaining people on the second floor had quietly left, but Han Xiao from Jianxie Sect stared at Lin Mo before leaving, and Lin Mo still noticed it.
It seems that the trip to the underground palace will not be smooth. There are many petty-minded people in the world who bully the weak and fear the strong. If the other party wants to attack me, I am not without the ability to fight.
In the afternoon, the two went to the blacksmith shop to take out the equipment they made. With the fine iron belt, the blood knife could be drawn directly from the waist, which was more convenient and unexpected. Tang Yu made forty-nine soul-breaking nails.
Lin Mo then remembered that the Tang Clan's strongest weapons were hidden weapons and poison. The casual wave of the folding fan before might just be a simple skill of using power. He immediately had a deeper understanding of the strength of the human list.
After Lin Mo and Tang Yu told each other the address of the inn, they agreed to meet again in four days when the underground palace opened.
After Lin Mo left, Tang Yu looked at his back and fell into deep thought: It's interesting that "The Art of Knowing Destiny by Cause and Effect" would react to such a casual cultivator. If I deepen my connection with him, perhaps I can use this to break through to the next level.
As the sky gradually darkened, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the roadside. When the night fell, Lin Mo walked towards the suburbs, preparing to practice the Blood Killing Sword Technique in the remaining few days, and at the same time adapting to this new way of drawing the sword.
Unconsciously, Lin Mo walked to the front of the villa. At this moment, he sensed a sound of breaking air behind him, as if a sharp weapon was attacking him. He immediately used the Nine Revolutions to nimbly avoid it. At this time, a dagger with a letter stuck in it was nailed to the place where Lin Mo had just stood.
Lin Mo observed it for a while, then used his inner strength to wrap his hands and unfolded the letter. It read:
"Do you want to get the Lin family's brocade box back? Come to the Beast Forest outside the city now."
The signature is Ting.
Seeing this, Lin Mo immediately understood. Isn't this his childhood sweetheart, Meng Ting, who married the second son of the Hu family? So what did she mean by this? Did the Hu family find out that I was practicing martial arts and were going to get rid of me?
This shouldn't be the case. Now is exactly the eve of the opening of the underground palace. The imperial court will not let the Hu family go if there is any disturbance. The Hu family is the number one family in Jinyang City. The imperial court will definitely send people to keep an eye on them to prevent them from doing anything weird at this time.
Then it can only be that Meng Ting was really looking for me, and the knife just now was not strong, I could easily detect and avoid it, so the person who fired the hidden weapon must be as strong as me or weaker than me.
Anyway, let's go and take a look. If there is a conspiracy, we can only borrow the power of Tang Yu from the Tang Clan. After all, today these big sects saw the two of us drinking at the same table.
Then Lin Mo walked towards the beast forest outside the city. He had come here to hunt beasts before because he was short of money, so Lin Mo avoided some dangerous areas along the way with ease.
Although they are all beasts with similar physical training strength, they are too numerous. If he is accidentally surrounded, it will not be easy for him to escape as he is now at the third level of marrow training.
Arriving at the wild beast forest, it was so quiet that only the sound of the wind could be heard. Lin Mo saw a directional sign on a big tree. He looked at the traces and confirmed that it was left there just now. He then carefully followed the mark step by step and moved forward after turning several corners.
He finally saw Meng Ting under the moonlight. This was the first time he saw her since his rebirth. The memory of his ex had gradually become blurred.
Meng Ting noticed Lin Mo's arrival under the moonlight and looked back. At this moment, Lin Mo felt a sense of sadness, regret and pity. He knew that this was left by his ex. Then these feelings slowly dissipated and turned into a strange gaze.
I have to say that Meng Ting is an extremely beautiful woman. Although her facial features are a little charming, she looks even more cool under the moonlight.
The black robe could not cover her slender figure. When Lin Mo saw her eyes, they were a pair of smiling eyes. From her eyes, Lin Mo saw attachment, regret, a hint of joy, and finally determination.
At this time, Meng Ting saw Lin Mo in a black suit. At first, she could see the complicated feelings towards her in Lin Mo's eyes, but in the blink of an eye.
Looking at Lin Mo again, she found that he was looking at her like a stranger, without any ripples in his eyes, very calm, very indifferent and very distant. Meng Ting couldn't help but pursed her lips, her heart ached, and her eyes became firm.
