Urban Powerhouse: Chaos Supreme

”The matter is quite simple: accompany us to the Forbidden Land, and as long as you complete the task, you will naturally receive your reward.” Chen Bei said with a smile, though her smile carried a hint of cunning.

”Forbidden Land?”

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo frowned deeply. The Seven Sects Treasure Book records some Forbidden Lands within the Seven Sects. Those areas are forbidden for Mystic Realm Sect disciples to enter, with countless fierce beasts and traps. Even a Star Domain-level expert entering would face immense

danger.

Moreover, should anyone be discovered in the Forbidden Land by the Mystic Realm Sect, the consequence is immediate expulsion from the sect.

”Spirit Ashes Forbidden Land. You’ve read the Seven Sects’ books; you should know of this Forbidden Land. Although it’s very dangerous, as long as we stay on the periphery, it shouldn’t be a problem.” Chen Bei said cheerfully.

”Well, the junior brother is focused on cultivation, so it’s better to find someone else for this task.” After hesitating for a moment, Lin Mo refused. Besides the danger in the Forbidden Land, if discovered by the sect leaders, I’d be expelled from the Mystic Realm Sect, where I just started finding all these resources that make my eyes sparkle. People like Liu Yiyi must have significant family influence

and connections. If found out, she might escape unharmed, but what about me? On Yu Lan Star, we are already small and weak. Amongst our group of disciples, despite having quite talented geniuses like Lord Tao, Chen Yan, and Alice, the help their family influences can offer is extremely limited compared with other disciples with backgrounds.

”Senior sister, there is no time; tomorrow night is when the Barrier of the Forbidden Land is weakest, and I’ve already bribed… if we don’t go in now, we’ll miss the chance.” Chen Bei whispered in Liu Yiyi’s ear, her delicate brows furrowed. ”Here, take these seven Glazed Bamboo Swords with us, these are all yours.” Liu Yiyi slightly raised her brows, waved her jade-like hand, and seven jade-green, shimmering Bamboo Swords appeared in the air, none having a hilt, only blades, gleaming with

a sharp light. Lin Mo couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his eye; with the Glazed Bamboo Sword showed by Gu Sa, there were eight Glazed Bamboo Swords in total. These are equivalent to eight million top-grade spiritual stones, and if sold as a set, they should amount to ten million top-grade spiritual

stones; this is quite a significant gift.

”I won’t tell Manager Zhou about today’s matter.”

Lin Mo hesitated for a moment, then stepped towards the exit of the courtyard.

”Lin Mo, aren’t you so arrogant? You even said last time that you were going to beat up Yuan Qing, but now you’re scared of venturing into the Forbidden Land?” Liu Yiyi remarked, her eyebrows slightly raised, her tone somewhat mocking.

However, her words did not halt Lin Mo’s step.

”This knowledge is only half; there are eighteen Glazed Bamboo Swords in total, forming a Sword Array that can be sold for twenty million spiritual stones.” Liu Yiyi couldn’t help biting her thin lip, speaking once more.

If it weren’t for this matter being of utmost importance, she would never ’ask’ Lin Mo for help in the first place. Lin Mo finally stopped walking, turned around, and extended his hand to conjure a large hand of spiritual energy that enveloped the eight floating Glazed Bamboo Swords, placing them all into his Space Ring, ”Tomorrow night, I will certainly come to find Senior Sister Liu.

”

Nobody had expected Lin Mo to agree so readily this time. Gu Sa exclaimed, ”Hey, Mr. Lin, didn’t you just say the Forbidden Land is dangerous and not to be entered?”

”Seek fortune through danger.”

Lin Mo left these words as his silhouette vanished from the crowd’s sight.

”That guy is even more cunning than I am…” Gu Sa froze for a moment before cursing quietly.

”His strength should be decent—at the Galaxy-level Beginner. It’s better having him than being shorthanded.” Chen Bei chuckled.

”If I had found someone trustworthy to help, I wouldn’t have sought him out; he’s insatiable.”

Liu Yiyi bit her little silver teeth, her voice carrying a hint of frost.

Upon returning to the courtyard, Lin Mo immediately summoned the Glazed Bamboo Swords, imprinting his Spiritual Mark on the eight swords. Then he began to channel his True Yuan, injecting it into the swords, slowly guiding them to fly in the air.

”Controlling eight Glazed Glass Flying Swords is quite challenging!” Lin Mo frowned slightly.

Previously, he used spiritual energy to control the Flying Swords; spiritual energy is omnipresent, making controlling swords as natural as fish swimming in the ocean. Now, he has to use True Yuan from his own body to manipulate the swords, like controlling a marionette, making it somewhat uncomfortable.

Nonetheless, this ’training’ is a good way to sharpen a Martial Artist’s control over his True Yuan.

Eventually, Lin Mo could only control four Glazed Bamboo Swords for flying attacks. If he tried forcing control over eight, his True Yuan would experience a ’break’ situation, rendering any attack ineffective. After putting away the Glazed Bamboo Swords, Lin Mo began practicing the ’Ancient Control Technique.’ Under this ’Elemental Control Technique,’ True Yuan undeniably reaches its peak efficiency. He’s already mastered the first visual now, and once he completes the second

visual, he will probably be able to effortlessly control the eight Glazed Bamboo Swords.

The next evening, under the starlit sky, Lin Mo donned a set of black nightwear, standing in the courtyard.

Meanwhile, within the courtyard room, there was an identical-looking figure to Lin Mo, sitting cross-legged in meditation and cultivation. That was Lin Mo’s clone left behind; if danger was encountered in the Forbidden Land, at least the clone would remain, ensuring his survival. If discovered by the Mystic Realm Sect for sneaking into the Forbidden Land, the clone could could flee into the Dark Space to escape the sect.

Agreeing to Liu Yiyi’s venture into the Forbidden Land, Lin Mo took a gamble. After all, someone like him without backing or faction membership would face extreme difficulty in acquiring resources. In the month spent within the Seven Sects, Lin Mo had attained quite an understanding of its inner workings. The Seven Sects’ outer sect was managed by figures like Manager Zhou, Guardian Ge, Guardian Wang, and several others, each engaged in numerous factional disputes—like that previous altercation with Yuan Qing, a disciple from the faction led by Guardian Ge, known for gathering wealth for him. Besides, family influences from other planets intertwine within the Seven Sects, forming countless small and big factions, while Lin Mo focused solely on cultivation, refraining from joining any faction. Despite factions offering certain benefits, constraints are unavoidable.

Under the cover of night, Lin Mo transformed into Flowing Light, swiftly vanishing from the courtyard. Soon, he arrived at a mountain’s northern hillside, where figures stood within the sky.

”Senior Sister Liu, I’m not late, am I?” Lin Mo flew towards the group, speaking with a chuckle. ”Liu Yiyi, is this the helper you found? Seems like a new disciple.” Suddenly, someone within the group spoke with a slightly mocking tone.
