Urban Powerhouse: Chaos Supreme

In the study, a ray of morning sunlight cast through the curtains, the gentle breeze flowing in, causing the white curtains to sway slightly.

On the desk, Xia Mengdie, dressed in casual attire, was lying on the computer desk, eyes closed in rest. Her face appeared somewhat haggard, evoking a sense of pity, clearly indicating a sleepless night. Her long lashes trembled gently. Lin Mo watched this scene, filled with guilt in his heart, as he always relentlessly pursued cultivation without considering his dear ones’ worries.

”Wife, thank you for your hard work.”

Lin Mo tiptoed to Xia Mengdie’s side, picked up a white jacket placed by the bedside, and gently covered her back with it.

”Nngh...”

As if sensing it, Xia Mengdie’s long lashes fluttered gently, and she slowly opened her eyes, still glazed with the bewilderment of waking up.

But it was only for a moment before Xia Mengdie saw clearly the youth standing beside her, his face slightly delicate, with sword-like eyebrows and a faint smile playing at his lips.

”Xiao Mo.”

Xia Mengdie stood up, her clear eyes misting over with tears, and she hugged Lin Mo tightly, ”Where did you go? Do you know how worried I, your parents, and Long Ge Yue were about you?”

”I’m sorry, I made you all worry.” Lin Mo sighed lightly, running his fingers through Xia Mengdie’s soft black hair.

These days, Xia Mengdie had been acting very strong. With Lin Mo away, she could only shoulder the responsibility. If even she lost her composure, what would Lin Mo’s parents do?

However, seeing Lin Mo return now, her pretense of strength quickly turned to grievance, and she pinched a chunk of meat hard on Lin Mo’s waist.

Of course, such pain was nothing to Lin Mo.

”You must have heard about the situation by now. What do you plan to do?” Xia Mengdie asked, lying in Lin Mo’s arms like an obedient kitten.

”Since Qingxuan Sect dared to come to us, I’ll just go to Qingxuan Sect and leave no one alive.” Lin Mo’s eyes gleamed sharply.

In the cultivation world, the strong are respected.

Since Qingxuan Sect had openly declared the extermination of the Lin Family, Lin Mo was not going to be merciful and let his kindness cause the most severe harm to his loved ones, a scenario he never wished to see his whole life.

During this period, Xia Mengdie was busy dealing with the Qingxuan Sect’s matters, staying up all night, so Lin Mo infused a bit of spiritual energy to calm Xia Mengdie into sleep and then went to the balcony to call Long Ge Yue to assure their safety.

...

The next day.

At the villa’s entrance, a few figures appeared at the gate.

One leading them was an adorable girl with twin ponytails reaching down to her waist, dressed in casual attire, her slender hands adorned with a delicate bell that jingled as she walked.

”Does the Sect Leader live here?”

Xiao Haiyang glanced around and noticed an array resembling a Spirit Gathering Array surrounding the villa, with an endless flow of spiritual energy gathered in the villa, thickly lingering, not inferior to that within the Star Sect.

”Let’s go see the Sect Leader first,” Cheng Ying said.

Yingzi nodded, the group leaving a residual shadow as they instantly appeared in the villa’s backyard.

”Hiss!”

Suddenly, a giant golden shadow emerged in front of everyone, causing Xiao Haiyang and the three Star Gate Elders to jump in surprise. Upon closer inspection, it was a golden python about twenty meters long, as thick as a barrel, coiled in the backyard, flicking its long tongue.

”Little Golden Snake, these are the owner’s friends.”

Yingzi’s willow brows furrowed.

The golden python coiled back to slumber, alongside a white-furred ferret also sleeping atop it.

Even before Yingzi had returned, Lin Mo had already notified her through a secret technique that he had emerged from the Prison Tower.

At this time.

Lin Mo emerged from the room.

”Master,” Yingzi beamed a radiant smile upon seeing Lin Mo appear.

”Sect Leader.”

Xiao Haiyang clasped his hands together, as did the three elders.

”Now you’re the Sect Leader, why are you still calling me Sect Leader?” Lin Mo frowned slightly.

”You are the former Sect Leader, so naturally, we must still address you as Sect Leader upon meeting you,” Xiao Haiyang said with a smile.

Lin Mo wasn’t concerned about it, but as he glanced at Xiao Haiyang, he noticed his significant improvement in strength, clearly having put in much effort.

”Do you know where Qingxuan Sect’s dwelling is?” Lin Mo inquired. ”Qingxuan Sect, True Fire Sect, Red Moon Sect, Wind Thunder Sect, and some other Heavenly Sects have all emerged and are based in areas of spiritual energy revival. According to what we know, Qingxuan Sect should be within the vast mountain of Shuzhou, where a Spirit Vein has also awakened,” Cheng Ying respectfully replied, clasping his hands.

”Shuzhou?”

Lin Mo squinted his eyes slightly, a glint bursting forth from his narrowed eye slits.

”Sect Leader, what are your plans?” Dong Xiangyun asked.

”People from Qingxuan Sect claimed they want to destroy my Lin Family. Wouldn’t it be rude if I didn’t pay them a visit?”

Lin Mo said coldly, with the surrounding air seeming to freeze into ice crystals.

”You four should return to the Star Sect, I’ll handle the Qingxuan Sect matter.” Lin Mo waved his hand because since he had passed the position of Star Sect Leader to Xiao Haiyang, he no longer wished to trouble the Star Sect members.

Xiao Haiyang hesitated, ”Then we will return to the Star Sect first.”

After speaking, the four of them vanished, transforming into four rays of light soaring toward the sky.

”Master, can I come with you?” Yingzi blinked her eyes.

”No need, stay home to protect my parents, and by the way, focus on cultivating.” Lin Mo said, as a Divine Thought shot into Yingzi’s Sea of Consciousness.

Yingzi widened her bright and black eyes, ”Master, what is this?”

”This is a cultivation method. Once you break through to the Late Stage of Divine Force, you can step into the Star Wheel Mirror,” Lin Mo responded indifferently.

He passed onto Yingzi some theoretical and foundational knowledge about martial arts, which was engraved in the Vermilion Bird Martial Arts Hall, so that once she reached the Late Stage of Divine Force, she could be granted Starlight to help her break through the Star Wheel Mirror.

”Mm, Master, I will definitely work hard on cultivating.”

Yingzi nodded obediently.

”Qingxuan Sect, I’m curious to see what strength you have to dare come knocking.” Lin Mo set down the tea cup, his figure becoming blurred as he left a residual shadow, disappearing from the place.

...

Shuzhou.

The vast mountain stretches for ten thousand miles, lined with towering trees.

In the forest, occasionally a poison snake slithered across the grass, with wild beasts roaming in the wooded hills.

A gigantic, gray-furred wild wolf appeared in the woods, with sharp white bone spurs protruding from its back, emitting a cold gleam.

”Awoo!”

The wild wolf let out an angry howl toward the sky, its icy glowing wolf eyes staring intently at the three men and one woman before it.

”Master, what kind of beast is this? How did it become like this?” Among them, a young man in his early twenties, gazed with a hint of fear in his eyes.

”It’s a mutated beast—it really does exist.” The bearded, robust man leading them frowned his thick brows, drawing a large blade from his waist, ”You must be careful, I’ll handle it.” The blade was about thirty centimeters wide and three feet long, its edges exceedingly sharp.

The wonderful scene will continue tomorrow.
