Urban Powerhouse: Chaos Supreme

The identity of that young girl is still unknown to them, but seeing Mr. Wu treat her with such reverence, it’s clear that she has a significant background.

However, now the young girl is showing such respect to Lin Mo; just what kind of status does Lin Mo have?

Lin Mo didn’t blame Lu Xing, and then stood up, indifferently asking, ”Where is your Master?”

”Master and Third Young Master Li are waiting for you inside the private room,” Lu Xing spoke.

The people nearby were shocked again, Third Young Master Li—that’s the third young master of the Li Family, a top-tier young master across the whole of Huaxia and even Hong Kong.

To Huang Jian and the others, it was as if they had been slapped hard across the face. They hadn’t imagined Lin Mo had such a high status; they thought he was just a poor boy, who didn’t even have money for a meal.

All the more so because Huang Jian had been flaunting his wealth in front of Lin Mo. Now it seemed he had been playing the lute to a cow—making a fool of himself, probably, Lin Mo had always seen him as just a monkey, watching the show.

Huang Rui, Zhao Li, and the others also felt a burning sensation on their faces, regretting their misjudgment.

”Mr. Lin, this humble one is Wu Tianyang, I have seen Mr. Lin,” Mr. Wu greeted with a clasped fist.

Being able to control the vast Wu Family and rank among the top ten big shots of Hong Kong, Mr. Wu naturally had a different vision. He did not show contempt at the sight of the young Lin Mo but was very respectful instead.

Such a young man could receive the courtesy of an Immortal Master, which meant he was no ordinary person.

As a big shot, Mr. Wu naturally knew many secrets about the Martial Arts World and the Magic World. In the eyes of those experts, no matter how much wealth or how high a status these mortals had, they were just ordinary people in front of them.

”Hmm.”

Lin Mo, with his hands behind his back, merely glanced at him briefly and said nothing.

But there was no trace of embarrassment on Mr. Wu’s face; rather, his respect increased even more, as in this young man, he saw something very different. Besides someone like himself who had experienced decades of trials, probably only a few could perceive it.

...

”Third Young Master, the promise I made you has been fulfilled. Please return now,” an old man clad in plain clothes, hunching his back, slowly said in a private room.

”Immortal Master, do you really plan to leave Hong Kong?” a young man furrowed his eyebrows and asked.

”It’s not that I plan to leave, but I have revealed too much of the Heavenly Mechanism. Now I am near the end of my days, surviving not much longer, and in the end, I want to return to my roots,” the old man sighed. Standing by the bed, looking at the stars in the sky, his tone seemed to carry an endless yearning.

The young man, seeing the other’s determination to leave, silently after a while said, ”If Immortal Master needs anything, just say the word.”

”Thanks for the kind offer, Third Young Master, but I only wish to return to my roots now,” the old man turned his head and nodded gently.

The young man also sighed.

Just at that moment, the door to the private room opened, and footsteps sounded.

”Third Young Master, Immortal Master,” Mr. Wu called out.

Third Young Master Li saw Lin Mo walking in the lead, his dark eyes flashing with a bright light and a trace of astonishment on his face. His sword eyebrows knit together—he knew that the Immortal Master had been waiting for someone, but he didn’t expect it to be a youngster who looked even younger than himself.

”Third Young Master, Master,” Lu Xing also called out.

Seeing Lin Mo, Third Young Master Li revealed a smile and nodded slightly, then said, ”Immortal Master, I shall take my leave first.”

After speaking, Third Young Master Li and Elder Wu left the private room.

The only people left in the entire room were Lu Xing, Lin Mo, Yingzi, and that ”Jiuxian Immortal.”

”Mr. Lin, please have a seat.”

The Jiuxian Immortal extended his hand in a welcoming gesture.

Lin Mo frowned slightly, presumably finding the old man somewhat unexpected, at least by his appearance, which was quite ”horrifying.”

His hunched body bore a lump on his back as if growing a tumor, his face was also covered with various small bumps, some of which seemed to have just oozed pus and hardened into a crust.

Yingzi’s pupils shrank slightly; she was obviously a bit afraid of the old man’s appearance, but she didn’t show any disrespect on her face, obediently standing by Lin Mo’s side.

”I wonder what matter brings Master Jiuxian to seek me?” Lin Mo asked with slight confusion.

From last year to this year, Lu Xing had come to him twice, both times at the behest of the old man before him.

The key was that Lin Mo had no connection with the other party, let alone any interactions, and he was clueless as to why the other party would come to find him.

”Cough cough.”

The elderly man leaned on his cane and let out a soft cough.

Lin Mo looked at the other party and noticed that the Primordial Energy within the old man’s body was nearing exhaustion and his Life Span was coming to an end. Even if he used the Yang Wood Divine Skill, it would be futile.

”I had intended to meet you last year and then peacefully pass on, but I didn’t expect Mr. Lin to suddenly disappear for a full half year. This old man had no choice but to wait in agony through these six months, barely making it.”

As he spoke, the Jiuxian Immortal turned to look at Lin Mo, his gaze carrying a few traces of ’profound meaning’, and slowly said, ”The Martial Arts World has been quiet for too long. In just one or two years, the name Lin Tanyu has resounded throughout the entire Huaxia Martial Arts World and even overseas. This is truly a miraculous event.”

”In fact, I’ve already had people investigate you. You are just an ordinary high school student from Shu Province, but two years ago, you suddenly rose to prominence and advanced quickly, becoming a legendary figure of the entire Huaxia Martial Arts World. I think even the most powerful Magic Users or Peak Martial Gods wouldn’t be able to train such a ’genius’ in such a short time.”

As the old man spoke, a hint of wariness appeared on Lin Mo’s originally calm face.

He had been busy with his cultivation and improving his strength this past half year but was completely unaware that someone was probing into his affairs.

His rapid growth over the past six months had caught the attention of many forces.

”Don’t mind it, I have no ill intentions. I just feel that you resemble a certain type of person.” The Jiuxian Immortal said and coughed again.

Lu Xing immediately and gently supported his arm, her face showing a look of distress, ”Master, you’re unwell; perhaps rest for a day before we continue?”

”No need, my time is short. If I can resolve this doubt, then I can die without regrets.” The Jiuxian Immortal waved his hand dismissively.

”I wonder what kind of person I resemble?” Lin Mo asked, frowning.

The Jiuxian Immortal suddenly took a deep breath, and behind him, a series of silver rays of light poured in through the window, forming a set of beams that converged into a very mysterious starry Array. The power of moonlight emanating from within the Array continuously replenished the Jiuxian Immortal’s body, making him appear somewhat divine. ”You are like the Outer Heaven Flying Immortal!”

Lin Mo narrowed his eyes and chuckled, ”What ’Outer Heaven Flying Immortal’?”

”I am originally a successor of the Star Palace, acquainted with some Magic, Array, Alchemy, and Artifact Refining Skill. However, I’m not one to stay in one place, and ashamedly, I failed my Master who entrusted me with the position of Palace Master; instead, I wandered alone in this colorful world for decades.”

The Jiuxian Immortal answered indirectly as if reminiscing about something.

Then, he turned around, his palm brushing across the starry Array behind him. The power of moonlight on the Array rippled like waves, and soon after, an image appeared.

It was a palace built in a paradise-like setting—scenic mountains, clear waters, birds chirping, and flowers’ fragrance, with every construction also exuding an ancient classical charm.

”A Cultivation Sect?” Lin Mo’s eyes lifted slightly as he stood up, muttering to himself.
