He stopped.
"Also what?" Tang Chen's eyes flashed as he asked urgently.
"The feeling she gives me is even more dangerous!" When Head said this, he unconsciously balled his fists, tendons bulging.
Tang Chen's expression changed.
Head was his faithful and strongest expert. What Tang Chen trusted the most was his strength. Head cultivated the [Something from Nothing Spear], a top spear type mo skill. If it wasn't for the chance encounter where Tang Chen had saved Head's life, he definitely would not have been able to recruit such an expert.
Head's strength could rival those top experts that had just risen to marshal level.
He was one of the trump cards in his hand.
Tang Chen had deliberately arranged what had happened today. He was still full of suspicion about Xiao Yun Hai's identity, but he hadn't expected the conclusion they reached to be so surprising.
Head looked like a rough man, but being capable of cultivating the [Something From Nothingness Spear] meant his intuition was unusually sharp. If he said it was more dangerous, there was only one cause. The mute servant of Xiao Yun Hai was even stronger than the Xiao Mo Ge's purple energy female!
That wasn't possible!
All of the mo territories knew that Xiao Mo Ge's purple energy woman cultivated shen power.
A daring idea suddenly rose in Tang Chen's mind.
–Did Xiao Yun Hai's mute servant also cultivate shen power?
He shook his head. Shen power was not so easy to obtain. He changed the subject. "Have you found the use of the White Ridge Snake Bones?"
"The White Ridge Snake Bones can be used to forge mo weapons."
"That's not right!" Tang Chen shook his head. "Xiao Yun Hai's other female servant has been in seclusion ever since they obtained the White Ridge Snake Bones. The news we found from Rare Artifacts Hall was that Xiao Yun Hai only decided to buy the White Ridge Snake Bones because of this female servant in seclusion. The White Ridge Snake Bones definitely has an unknown use and is related to the seclusion of his female servant. Keep investigating!"

In the void, A Gui sat silently. The purple chains passed through her body. These purple chains were much thicker than the last time that had Zuo Mo saw them, and the light had become more understated.
Exquisite black patterns had grown on the chains that were closest to her.
Her eyes were closed, and there was a serene and content smile on her face.
The Nether Reincarnation Lotus was extraordinary in effect. Her soul had not withered and grown even more condensed.
In this last while, she had continued to use her soul to nurture the Undying Shen power. The Undying Shen power was even stronger than before, and had changed as a result. The most visible effect was that the energy was not bright, and was now contained inside.
The stronger Undying Shen power restrained her even more completely.
There was no light, no sound, no smell in this void of nothingness.
This hopeless and insane void did not defeat this seemingly fragile young female.
Since the time that her soul received nurturing, she knew that it was definitely Young Master that had helped her. Her serene heart had told her long ago that she was with Young Master. But the dots of light in the void made her suddenly realize–
–She wasn't just with Young Master. Young Master was working hard to save her.
There was nothing that would motivate this young female more than this.
Ever since then, there was always a warm sunny smile on her face.
Maybe Young Master could see her.
She wanted to use her smile to tell Young Master it wasn't painful at all, wasn't uncomfortable at all.
Every bit of pain was the growth of shen power! Shen power growing stronger meant she was able to protect Young master!
She was very happy.
Under the bright smile, something was imperceptibly taking form inside her soul.

A Heng woke up from his meditation and his restless heart finally stilled.
Just as he had expected, the Tang Family had a close relationship with Marshal Di. Every time he requested to meet with Tang Chen, the servants would politely tell him the patriarch was busy and not present.
A Heng understood what this meant.
Before this, while Tang Chen had been ambiguous about an alliance, he had been polite to the Ji Family. But his attitude was clear now.
A Heng knew the alliance would not occur.
The new orders from his family patriarch also came to him.
There were two orders: Damage the alliance between the Tang Family and Marshal Di, assassinate Xiao Yun Hai but do not let the Tang Family suspect the Ji Family!
Looking at the orders from the patriarch, A Heng grimaced. Any of the two was almost impossible to complete. The Tang Family and Marshal Di probably had allied together a long time ago, but people just didn't know about it. It also wasn't simple to kill Xiao Yun Hai. The fight that had occurred at the market during the day had reached his ears a long time ago.
Xiao Yun Hai's mute servant's strength was unfathomable, and an extremely powerful young female yao had also came out along the way. She had been able to fight to a tie with the head guard of the Tang Family, her strength … …
Where female sidekicks starting come into style in the world?
Xiao Mo Ge was like that, Xiao Yun Hai was the same, but had even more, three of them!
Suddenly, A Heng's mind moved. His expression darkened. "Who!"
Before he finished speaking, his figure slowly became faint.
At the same time, A Heng appeared outside his room. There was a paper gripped in his hand. His face was dark. Even now, his afterimage in the room had not disappeared.
So fast!
A Heng was astounded. From discovery to attack, the other had disappeared without a trace. The understood that the only reason he had sensed the intruder was that deliberate on the other's part.
This thought caused his bones to shiver.
This also meant that if the other tried to sneak an attack on him, he probably would not be able to avoid it.
The person was incomprehensibly strong.
Also, what did the other want? He looked in puzzlement at the paper and a joyful light quickly came into his eyes.
Tian Huan!
He hadn't thought that there would be disciples from Tian Huan in Gongzi Xi's group! He hadn't thought that Marshal Di had a secret relationship with Tian Huan!
A Heng almost wanted to roar with laughter.
Ever since Xiao Mo Ge appeared, the general trend of events suggested that the yao, mo, and xiu were merging together. Xiao Mo Ge was a mo, and no one thought there was anything wrong for him to have xiuzhe under his command. They would feel proud that Xiao Mo Ge were able to conquer xiuzhe.
Some of the wiser factions could see that the merging of the three would be unstoppable, but among the people, this was not common. The hatred between yaomo, and xiuzhe would not be resolved so easily.
In A Heng's view, the alliance of Marshal Di and Tian Huan was a great move.
But things like this could not be made public. Everyone could only have unspoken agreements in secret. Otherwise when people discovered this, just the spit was enough to drown Marshal Di.
A cruel smile floated onto A Heng's lips.
What he held in his hand was a fatal weapon!
———
Zuo Mo in disguise felt proud as he sneaked through the darkness.
The Ji Family wasn't a good one, but they had the power to make things difficult for Tian Huan. Even if they used just their toes, Zuo Mo knew that the Ji Family could destroy the alliance with what they had now.
Let the dogs fight themselves!
Zuo Mo lacked good feelings about these people.
After doing this devious thing, Zuo Mo felt unspeakably comfortable. In such a good state, forging mo weapons would be easy!
&
nbsp; At this time, Zuo Mo suddenly stilled and his smugness disappeared. He was like a wild beast that felt danger and immediately entered his battle state.
In the corner of the street, a figure slowly appeared.
"Your wariness isn't bad."
The incomer praised. His figure was revealed in front of Zuo Mo. An old man dressed in rags like a homeless man. His face was heavily wrinkled, his eyes muddy, and he had no presence.
But Zuo Mo did not dare to underestimate the other.
The old man stood there casually but he seemed to be one with the darkness around him.
Zuo Mo had never seen such a synchrony from other people, even in those so called concealment experts.
"Who are you?" Zuo Mo asked.
The old man looked with interest in Zuo Mo. He grinned. "You can call me Old Man." Then he said in a familiar tone, "Your disguise isn't bad. Oh, your sun shen power isn't bad. You really have good luck to have obtained the inheritance from the Sun Shen Tribe. Not bad at all."
"Who are you?" Zuo Mo was astounded. The other clearly knew that he was Xiao Mo Ge, and even discovered the shen power he cultivated with a glance!
The old man grinned to show a mouth of yellowed and missing teeth. "Haha, young person, you have to be patient. Hm, where's your maid?"
The murderousness in Zuo Mo's eyes were as sharp as swords!
Translator Ramblings: And Zuo Mo's streak ends at one.
Chapter 707: Mysteries
"Don't be so fierce!" The old man seemed to not be affected by Zuo Mo's killing intent at all. The wave of killing intent rushed at him and then would quickly dissipate.
Zuo Mo's gaze focused and his heart shook.
The old man suddenly seemed to detect something and threw out, "You have to be careful, many people have their eyes on you."
In the next moment, his figure disappeared.
Zuo Mo stilled but his expression changed slightly. At this time, he found that someone was coming close.
This old man … … was really strong!
He thought back to what the old man had just said. The other didn't seem to have malicious intent.
As he thought, he silently left. He had scouted out the nearby area a few times before entering and was familiar with it. Pu Yao and Wei's specialized cultivation was clearly effective. Even though Zuo Mo was not a master at moving under concealment, he didn't have problems fooling average experts.
When he returned to his residence, he was still thinking about that old man. Such a strong old man definitely wasn't someone unknown figure. Yet what shocked Zuo Mo was that he didn't even know what power the old man cultivated.
What did the old man mean in his words?
Many people had their eyes on him? This was clearly a reminder!
Had he exposed himself somehow? Zuo Mo shook his head. While he did not know the old man's intentions, the other's reminder did not seem to be baseless.
The old man said "many people." That meant more than one. Why were those people keeping an eye on him?
Earth mo weapons? This was the most likely guess. Earth mo weapons were the top mo weapon in the present mo territories and there were naturally numerous people that wanted them.
But Zuo Mo who had struggled on the border of life and death had an unusually sensitive sense for danger. This most plausible cause was rejected first.
Other than the earth mo weapons, what could most likely attract attention was his identity as Xiao Mo Ge and the shen power inheritance. If other people knew this, then it would be trouble!
Zuo Mo's brow furrowed and then he put the problem to one side. He would not panic just because of some words from a strange old man. What he needed to do now was to forge a new earth mo weapon.
It was not an accidental idea when he thought of using earth mo weapons to trade for the Reverse Shadow Soul Silkgrass. But now, he felt that this plan was far easier to realize than going to Nether Spring Jie himself.
He was not an unknown person. No matter if it was Xiao Mo Ge or Xiao Yun Hai, both had status.
If he could make a new earth mo weapon, there would be countless people that would search for Reverse Shadow Soul Silkgrass. The earth mo weapon that was peerless in value in the eyes of many people was just an object to Zuo Mo. It was profitable to trade it for Reverse Shadow Soul Silkgrass.
If he, who had just forged the Sky Snake Ten Manifestation Spear, could forge a new earth mo weapon, his fame would reach an unprecedented height. At that time, his promise would be enough to drive people mad.
After organizing his thoughts, the shadow over Zuo Mo's mind dissipated.
Regardless if it was the old man or other people, his goal was the Reverse Shadow Soul Silkgrass. Other matters had nothing to do with him. He did not fear people finding him.

In the dark of night, Ceng Lian'er was dressed in bright red robes like a rose blooming in the night. Her movements were silent and she didn't even cause a ripple in the air as she appeared like a ghost in front of Qinghua Xue.
"Who are you? Why are you here?" Ceng Lian'er who saw Qinghua Xue and asked serenely.
Qinghua Xue felt her vision blur and then a figure appeared without warning in front of her.
Her expression changed slightly. She was astounded but kept her expression calm. She asked back, "Who are you?"
Ceng Lian'er's eyes became blurry like a mist that floated in.
"Come in to talk!" Zuo Mo's voice suddenly came from the room.
Ceng Lian'er's figure immediately disappeared from her spot.
Shock finally came onto Qinghua Xue's face.
———
"This is Qinghua Xue, I defeated her in the past. She was in the yao envoy and she recognized me so I decided to have her follow me to prevent her from going out and talking," Zuo Mo explained. Other people would not know but he was clear that Ceng Lian'er really intended to kill her just now. If he had been a moment later in speaking, Qinghua Xue would probably be a corpse right now.
"I would not squabble with a little girl." An imperceptible smile flashed across Ceng Lian'er's mouth.
She spun, the long red dress blossoming as she elegantly sat in front of Zuo Mo.
Ceng Lian'er was elegant and graceful in everything she did as though it was innate to her. A country bumpkin like himself could not copy it. Zuo Mo shook his head and threw this hilarious thought away. He then asked in concern, "How is it?"
"Success!" Ceng Lian'er said without any modesty. Her smile was like a flower, bright and eye-catching. "My bloodline has been perfected, and this would be of great benefit to my future cultivation. My shen power has grown by half!"
Zuo Mo's expression changed. For mo, their bloodline was the core of their power, and the spring of all their power. Reinforcing their core was tempting for every cultivator, and Zuo Mo gaped at her shen power growing by half.
Even with his right hand that seemed to be a little shen crystal, he he would need about a year to grow half of his shen power without any other assistance.
"Worth! So worth it!" Zuo Mo couldn't help but say excitedly.
Ceng Lian'er gave a small smile. Her eyes that seemed to forever be shrouded in mist flashed with emotion. Of course it was worth it. But what had been traded was an earth mo weapon!
When she had heard that it would take an earth mo weapon, Ceng Lian'er had given up on that set of White Ridge Snake Bones. That price was not something that she could afford. Even her father Ceng Yi, who was a jie master, would not be able to pay such a price.
The person in front of her did not hesitate.
This had nothing to do with love between man and woman. She suddenly understood why there would always be astounding geniuses gathered around Zuo Mo.
Wei Sheng, Gongsun Cha, Bie Han … …
Any of these people alone was a star, a blinding existence, but these outstanding geniuses were gathered closely around Zuo Mo. And for him, they were willing to die.
Zuo Mo did not notice Ceng Lian'er's
emotions. It was hard to disguise the joy on his face. "Great! You have come out of seclusion so I can rest my worries and forge earth mo weapons."
"Forge earth mo weapons?" Ceng Lian'er had been in seclusion ever since she had gotten the White Ridge Snake Bones. She didn't know anything about what had happened. When she heard that Zuo Mo said he was going to forge earth mo weapons again, she couldn't help but be shocked.
"Yes." Zuo Mo nodded. He grinned and said, "I thought of a wonderful idea. Use earth mo weapons to trade for Reverse Shadow Soul Silkgrass. This way, we don't have to go to Nether Springs Jie."
"Trade earth mo weapons for Reverse Shadow Soul Silkgrass?" Ceng Lian'er was stunned. She suspected that something was wrong with her hearing. "Do we have other earth mo weapons?"
Looking at the shock on Ceng Lian'er's face, Zuo Mo was proud. He said with a snicker, "We can make more!"
Ceng Lian'er was speechless. A moment later, her mouth turned into a smile. Zuo Mo's tone was casual when he spoke about forging earth mo weapons. While she was shocked, she did not doubt that Zuo Mo could accomplish this.
Her gaze silently landed on A Gui. For some reason, a serene sigh sounded inside her, like a wisp of mist rising up and covering her eyes.
"When are you going to start?" She smiled.
"Since you are out of seclusion, then there is no time to day." Zuo Mo's smile disappeared. His expression was solemn as he said, "Tomorrow!"
———
"I'm very disappointed that the brutish bull didn't dare to fight me last time I visited." The old man grinned, his gaping mouth full of yellow teeth hard to look at.
An youth appeared nearby, his tight clothing emphasizing the tall figure of the youth. He was lying in the air as though there was an invisible chair behind him. Half of his body was curled up in this invisible chair and his position looked strange.
One hand was holding a plate piled high with blood grapes. The other hand was throwing blood grapes idly into his mouth.
"I wouldn't dare to fight Elder. I have come to eat and play." The youth said through a full mouth, "However, Second Brother failed since Elder protected Xiao Mo Ge last time. This time, you seem to be interested in Xiao Yun Hai. Elder, leave us a path … …"
