Urban Powerhouse: Chaos Supreme

The next morning, Lin Mo and Xiao Nai headed to Southern Sichuan together.

Southern Sichuan was mainly mountainous and the region was also steeped in tales of swordsmen, witchcraft, and Daoist magic, though these were merely legends.

Among them, the He Family, Hou Family, and Tan Family were the three most significant Magic User families in the Southern Sichuan Region.

Outside an ancient-looking hotel, which must have been the nicest hotel in this small city.

Afterward, Lin Mo followed Xiao Nai into a private room in the hotel, where several people were already seated, including two women and a man. One of the women had a slightly bulging belly and a beautiful face, albeit pale, which undoubtedly belonged to Xiao Nai’s wife, Tan Yun.

”Mr. Lin, please,” Xiao Nai followed him in and introduced, ”Xiao Yun, this is Mr. Lin.”

”Hello, Mr. Lin,” the pregnant woman stood up, seemingly five or six months along, and nodded at Lin Mo.

”No need for formalities,” Lin Mo said indifferently.

However, sitting beside them were a man and a woman, both in their early twenties, dressed not in modern clothes but in ancient attire, seemingly characters from the Hidden Sect.

”Brother-in-law, is this the ’expert master’ you mentioned?” the man asked, glancing at Lin Mo with a hint of disdain.

”Even younger than me, it seems?” the other girl chimed in.

Xiao Nai’s face turned awkward as he sheepishly said, ”Mr. Lin, these two are my wife’s younger brother and sister, Tan Yong and Tan Xiang.”

Tan Yong and Tan Xiang had heard from their brother-in-law about a master being summoned from Jiangnan. They had imagined an old man with white hair and a white beard, but were disappointed to meet a mere kid.

Tan Yong shook his head and said, ”Southern Sichuan is full of Feng Shui masters but those are mere trifles. Only my brother-in-law sees them as experts.”

”Yes, and this ’expert’ looks too young,” Tan Xiang added, pursing her lips.

Xiao Nai, being just an ordinary man, held little standing in the eyes of these powerful Magic User families. To them, endowed with immeasurably greater strength than ordinary people like the Martial Arts Masters had stated, an average person appeared no more than a monkey, thus Xiao Nai had virtually no status in the Tan household.

”Mr. Lin, I’m sorry, my brother and sister usually lack discipline and manners,” Tan Yun, although skeptical of Lin Mo being an ’expert,’ apologized courteously.

Lin Mo, disdaining to argue with the two young ones, looked at Tan Yun and said indifferently, ”Let me help you take a look, stretch out your wrist.”

Tan Yun glanced at Xiao Nai and seeing him nod, she placed her fair wrist on the table for Lin Mo to examine by laying his fingers on her meridians.

”My wife is usually fine, but she suffers excruciating pain at night. Mr. Lin, please, I, Xiao Nai, would do anything for you,” Xiao Nai said nervously.

Tan Xiang sighed, doubtfully asking, ”Even the Clan Leader couldn’t break my sister’s curse. Can he?”

Tan Yong glanced at Xiao Nai and added, ”Brother-in-law, I know you love my sister, but just bringing someone random to break the curse, then we wouldn’t be so troubled.”

Lin Mo, ignoring the remarks, finished his examination and frowned slightly. He sensed something unusual in Tan Yun’s body. Tan Yun was also a Magic User but her strength was too weak, and there was a very strange thing inside her constantly devouring her True Qi and Life Energy.

If a few more days pass and the thing inside her body is not removed, then she will undoubtedly die.

”Is it a spell?” Lin Mo removed his hand and spoke indifferently.

Xiao Nai widened his eyes and asked, ”Mr. Lin, is there a way to break it?”

”If your wife wasn’t pregnant, I could forcibly expel the spell directly. However, since she is pregnant, it’s a bit more troublesome. We need to prepare a few things.”

During the conversation, Lin Mo, as if by magic, pulled out two elixirs and handed them to Tan Yun, ”Eat this tonight, and your stomach won’t hurt anymore. I’ll help you break the spell tomorrow.”

This kind of spell continually devoured Life Energy. Temporarily letting it absorb the energy within the elixir would prevent Tan Yun from feeling pain. However, to force the spell out, other preparations were needed.

Lin Mo was merely considering the child in Tan Yun’s womb, which is why he didn’t directly expel the spell.

”Brother-in-law, don’t let yourself be fooled.” Tan Yong shook his head disdainfully and dismissed Lin Mo as a fraud. How could a kid like him break such a tricky spell when even the Clan Leader and elders of our family couldn’t?

Tan Xiang pondered for a moment and then said, ”Right, the Clan Leader has already gone to request an elder from the White Witch Clan to treat my sister. They should arrive by tomorrow, so don’t worry too much, sister and brother-in-law.”

”Thank you, Mr. Lin,” Tan Yun said politely as she stored away the elixirs.

Although everyone doubted Lin Mo, Tan Yun trusted Xiao Nai, confident he wouldn’t deceive her.

While they were talking, suddenly, footsteps were heard from outside, and the door to the private room was abruptly pushed open. Two young men in their early twenties, dressed in casual clothes and with a hint of amusement on their faces, walked in.

”I was wondering who had taken our private room. It turns out to be the Tan family,” the slightly taller young man sneered.

”Tan Yong, if you know what’s good for you, leave immediately. We’re taking over this place,” the other young man commanded, his face full of amusement.

Clearly, these two young men had come here looking for trouble.

”Are they from the He and Hou families?” Xiao Nai took a glance at the two young men, his expression changing slightly.

The He, Hou, and Tan families are known as the Three Great Families of Southern Sichuan, all residing in these mountains. Historically, they were from the same sect, but now they are divided into three families, entangled with each other. Among them, the Tan family was the weakest and lowest ranked.

”We were here first, why should we leave?” Tan Yong said, frowning, though he looked somewhat intimidated.

These two men were He Qiang and Hou Jun, both practiced at the seventh level of Qi Cultivation, two levels higher than Tan Yong.

”Oh, not leaving, are you? Want a beating?” He Qiang sneered, his tone arrogant and overbearing.

The expressions on the faces of the two women, Tan Yun and Tan Xiang, were unpleasant. These two were genius youths from the He and Hou families, with very strong abilities, often bullying the juniors of the Tan family. Just as Tan Yun was about to speak, a cold, bell-like voice suddenly rang out, ”What riff-raff, daring to disturb my master’s meal?”

The speaker was Yingzi, who had always been by Lin Mo’s side without speaking.

As soon as she spoke up, the gaze of both young men fell upon her.
