"Very good. Thank you fellow Taoists for informing me of this news. Next, please just rest on the speeder." Lin Mo nodded with satisfaction, then closed his eyes and stopped making any further remarks.
The Confucian scholars and others burst into tears of gratitude, expressed their gratitude one after another, and then each closed their eyes and meditated, entering a state of cultivation.
At this moment, Lin Mo seemed as calm as water on the surface, but deep down he couldn't help but feel a little confused. His mind was filled with memories of Nangong Wan's gentle voice and sweet smile.
The year-round longing for lovesickness surged into my heart like a volcano erupting the moment I learned that Nangong Wan might not have successfully ascended to the spirit world.
He only felt a dull pain in his heart...
Under Lin Mo's urging, the speed of the cyan speed car was even faster than that of Confucian scholars and others who personally controlled the escape light. It only took a month and a half to reach the vicinity of Tianyuan City.
When the speeding car quietly stopped at high altitude, Lin Mo stood on the front of the car and looked at the huge mountain-like Tianyuan City wall in the distance, with a complicated expression on his face.
After many years of wandering, he finally returned to the land of the human and demon tribes.
"Senior, we can now activate the teleportation circle and return to the city." The Confucian scholar cautiously suggested to Lin Mo.
At the front of the speeding car, on the ground not far from the city wall, stood a large teleportation array covering an area of about several feet.
On both sides of the magic circle, there were more than ten Qingming guards wearing cyan armor arranged neatly.
As the light of the magic circle flashed past, several figures emerged from it one after another. After a brief conversation with the Qingming Guards stationed here, they turned into a ray of light and quickly flew away.
This teleportation circle is the only way to Tianyuan City.
Since the front of this city faces the wild area and there is no city gate, those who want to enter the wild world need to use these teleportation circles to achieve entry and exit.
As for the guards stationed in Tianyuan City, they will use more concealed teleportation circles when performing temporary tasks.
Lin Mo withdrew his gaze and stepped lightly on the speeding car, making it slowly land on the ground.
Due to the huge size of the cyan speeder, the Cyan Underworld Guards below naturally noticed their whereabouts and immediately released waves of powerful spiritual thoughts to investigate.
Lin Mo waved his sleeves, and in the flash of green light, the speeding car disappeared without a trace.
The five people moved and landed near the teleportation circle.
“Oh, Captain!” A surprised cry suddenly came from the mouth of a Qingming Guard.
Lin Mo was stunned when he heard the sound, and when he glanced around, he found that there was a big man with blue eyes among the many Qingming guards, and his appearance felt extremely familiar to him.
This person turned out to be Zhuo Chong, one of the ten black guards he commanded in Tianyuan City.
Now Zhuo Chong, who has broken through from the late stage of Yuanying to the early stage of divine transformation, is looking at Lin Mo with shock on his face.
"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Zhuo! Congratulations to Fellow Daoist for successfully being promoted to Qingming Guard." Lin Mo said slowly with a smile on his face.
"It's really the captain! Oh my, has Captain Fairy already entered the Void Refining Realm?" When Zhuo Chong saw Lin Mo, he was first surprised and then asked in shock.
He released his spiritual thoughts to investigate, but failed to understand Lin Mo's true cultivation level, so it was natural for him to make such a guess.
"After traveling abroad for these years, I have indeed reached the Void Refining Realm. I never expected that I would meet fellow Taoist Zhuo again before entering the city. How are you fellow Taoists who were on the same team back then?" Lin Mo smiled. asked.
"Well...not long after the captain left, the aliens launched an attack on Tianyuan City. Most of the members died in this battle, and some of the remaining people chose to leave Tianyuan City. Currently, I am the only one left. You and Fairy Xu are still here." Zhuo Chong answered truthfully.
"Xianzi Xu is still in the city?" When Lin Mo heard this, a strange light flashed in his eyes.
This woman is the descendant of Fairy Bingpo. She is the key clue for him to complete the task entrusted by the young man named Weng of the Tianyun tribe, so he is particularly concerned about it.
"Yes, Fairy Xu has also advanced to the realm of transformation, and has reached the mid-level level, and is now leading a Black Guard team. By the way, Fairy Xu has mentioned the captain many times. She always laments that if she had not received the guidance of the captain, Well, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve today's achievements," Zhuo Chong explained with a smile.
It was as if he thought there was some unknown connection between Lin Mo and the woman.
"Haha, it was just a little effort back then, not to mention the merit of guidance. Fairy Xu's achievements today are naturally due to her outstanding talent." Lin Mo smiled lightly and responded softly.
Zhuo Chong nodded slightly and said no more.
When the Confucian scholars and others saw that Lin Mo actually knew Zhuo Chong, the Qingming Guard, the last worry in their hearts was completely eliminated.
Obviously, the previous statement made by the other party that he was born in Tianyuan City is indeed quite credible. They no longer need to worry about whether the other party is a person who has transformed into a foreign race and is deliberately approaching and infiltrating Tianyuan City.
Such situations were not uncommon in the past.
The Confucian scholar also recognized Zhuo Chong. With a slight turn of his eyes, he bowed his hands to Zhuo Chong and saluted:
"It turns out that Senior Lin and Brother Zhuo have met, which is really gratifying. We are also indebted to Lin. Only with the help of seniors can we return here smoothly."
"Oh? Are the four fellow Taoists in danger?" Zhuo Chong asked in surprise.
"Not only is it dangerous, the four of us were almost killed by the sharp claws of a Void Refining Level Stone Yuan Turtle." The bookish monk said with a wry smile.
"Hahaha, our captain once defeated the aliens at the level of refining the gods with his strength at the level of gods. Now, it is no problem to deal with a mere stone turtle." Zhuo Chong said with a sarcastic smile. interjected.
Hearing what Zhuo Chong said, the scholar and others all expressed their agreement.
"Fellow Daoist Zhuo, I hope we can have a chance to chat again next time. I still have some urgent matters to deal with, so I will enter Tianyuan City first." Lin Mo had a mysterious smile on his face.
"Oh, I was negligent. The captain must have come here from a very far away place, and he must be exhausted." Only then did Zhuo Chong suddenly realize, and he quickly got out of the way of the teleportation circle behind him.
After Lin Mo nodded slightly to Zhuo Chong, he stepped into the teleportation circle without hesitation.
With a dazzling light flashing, Lin Mo disappeared without a trace in an instant.
The scholar and others followed closely behind, and also disappeared amidst the buzzing sound of the teleportation circle.
Zhuo Chong looked at the empty teleportation circle with deep worry on his face. "Brother Zhuo, do you really know this Senior Lin?"
"Is he really your captain back then? Can he defeat an existence at the Void Refining level with his cultivation at the Divine Transformation stage?"
"Why can't we have insight into his cultivation realm? Could it be that he has practiced something A special magical power? "
The other Qingming Guards who had been silent just now finally couldn't restrain their curiosity and asked questions one after another.
“There is no doubt that Captain Lin’s reputation among the Qingming Guards back then was known to everyone. His magical powers were even comparable to those of ordinary Heavenly Guards. Back then, I I also received a lot of benefits under his command, otherwise I might not be able to be promoted smoothly. It’s been so long since I’ve seen him, and he has already reached the realm of refining. It’s not surprising that you can’t see his magic power now.” Zhuo Chong replied, At the same time, deep down in his heart, he couldn't help but start to wonder about Lin Mo's whereabouts over the years.
However, he never imagined that the reason why Lin Mo disappeared from Tianyuan City for so long was that he had been traveling abroad and even visited other continents.
At this moment, Lin Mo suddenly appeared in a seemingly ordinary hall under the illumination of a spiritual light, then slowly walked out of the teleportation circle and looked around.
After a short wait, the scholar and others were also teleported out.
"We have arrived at Tianyuan City, and it's time for you and I to say goodbye." Lin Mo turned around and said to the four of them.
"Thank you, senior, for your life-saving grace to the four of us. We are currently living in Chunmian Pavilion. If senior has any instructions, we will never dare to shirk it." The scholar bowed deeply. , the tone is very sincere.
If it weren't for Lin Mo, they might not be able to escape this time. This sentence is indeed a sentiment from the heart.
"Chunmian Pavilion! I remember it. Maybe I will trouble you fellow Taoists in the future." Lin Mo looked at the scholar deeply, nodded, then waved his sleeves and walked towards the palace gate alone.
The scholar was stunned for a moment, and then he and the other three people made the same respectful gesture.
After leaving the hall, there is a huge hall covering an area of about a hundred feet. Many people are coming in and out of several halls around the hall, but the number of people does not seem to be very large.
However, at the exit of the hall, there were still two rows of Qingming guards holding "supernatural spirit disks" in their hands, carefully checking every monk who came in and out.
Behind these black-robed Qingming guards, stood a heavenly guard wearing golden armor. He crossed his arms and looked at everyone in the hall coldly.
"Middle stage of Void Refining!" Lin Mo understood the strength of the Heavenly Guard at a glance. After thinking for a moment, he walked towards him without hesitation.
The Qingming Guards in the magic circle outside the city are only responsible for ensuring that the teleportation magic circle will not be destroyed by aliens or wild beasts, and the guards here are the key people responsible for verifying the identities of those entering and exiting. .
Tianyuan City originally issued temporary pass tokens to all those who entered the wild world. However, since Lin Mo had not returned to Tianyuan City for many years, he did not have such a thing. This undoubtedly brought him some trouble. inconvenient.
There were only a few people in the hall, and the only one who was strong at the Void Refining level was Lin Mo.
The heavenly guard's eyes immediately flickered and flickered.
There was no emotion on Lin Mo's face, but the aura he had hidden using secret techniques was now released without any cover.
The expression of the withered-faced Heavenly Guard suddenly changed, and there was a look of astonishment in his eyes.
"I am Yu Lingzi, my fellow Taoist who has extraordinary cultivation. May I ask your surname and where you are from?" As soon as Lin Mo walked up to him with vigorous steps, the heavenly guard suddenly swayed, as if Appearing in front of the other Qingming Guards like a ghost, he bowed his hands respectfully to Lin Mo and asked.
"I'm Lin Mo! As for my background, haha, about three hundred years ago, I was still a member of the Tianyuan Guard!" Lin Mo responded with a slightly raised corner of his mouth.
"Tian Yuan Guard? Fellow Taoist, are you kidding me? Yang has been serving as the Heaven Guard in this city for hundreds of years, and he knows all the Heaven Guards. But I have never seen Mr. You." The heavenly guard was surprised at first, and then his expression became solemn.
When Lin Mo heard this, he just smiled slightly, then suddenly raised his arm, and a ball of cyan light rushed past.
The pupils of the skinny Tianwei tightened, and with one hand he grabbed the void and held the cyan light ball firmly in his palm.
It turned out to be a green jade pendant.
One side of the jade pendant is engraved with some silver inscriptions, and the other side is engraved with several light gold words such as "Bing fifty-six".
It is the token that Lin Mo held when he was a Qingming Guard!
"Qingming Guard?" The Heavenly Guard seemed a little unbelievable.
"That's true. Do fellow Taoists have any objections to this?" Lin Mo asked in a calm tone.
“No objection. It’s just that I need to verify the authenticity of the token first.” Yang Tianwei laughed awkwardly and replied cautiously.
"Of course, fellow Taoist, please feel free to do so." Lin Mo responded calmly.
The skinny Tianwei nodded gently, rubbed his hands together, and the jade pendant immediately bloomed with a faint green light.
"Yes, it is indeed the Qingming Guard's token that is correct. However, the Qingming Guard number of my fellow Taoist was canceled more than a hundred years ago. Now my fellow Taoist has regained his freedom." The aura in the hands of the skinny Tianwei Gradually dissipated, he said with a puzzled look on his face.
"I successfully completed a near-death mission in the past. When the mission was successfully completed, I became a free person." Lin Mo was not surprised by this and responded calmly.
"A narrow escape mission. It happened three hundred years ago?" The skinny Tianwei's eyes lit up, and he seemed to have thought of something in an instant, and he looked quite shocked.
"It seems that fellow Taoist still remembers what happened back then!" Lin Mo said with a slight smile.
"It turns out that fellow Taoist was one of those who participated in those difficult and dangerous missions. It is really disrespectful. Since fellow Taoist has done nothing wrong, he can leave. But this is the token of Qingming Guard , I still need to take it back," the Tianwei named Yang said with admiration on his face and his hands clasped in his fists.
"It should be so. Since I haven't returned to my homeland for a long time, and I have nothing else to prove my identity, I have no choice but to take out this token." Lin Mo said easily.
The skinny heavenly guards nodded slightly, and with a wave of one hand, the Qingming guards immediately opened the way to the outside world for Lin Mo.
Lin Mo unceremoniously circulated his spiritual power, turned into a stream of cyan light, and quickly flew out of the hall.
In the huge hall located on the top of a unique building, the cyan light flashed several times inadvertently and then disappeared without a trace.
"What abnormal behavior did the user named Lin Mo have?" The skinny old man looked at the direction where Lin Mo left quickly with a gloomy expression, and then asked the people around him.
"Dear Sir, there is nothing unusual. According to our observation, this elder named Lin is undoubtedly from the human race!" A young Qingming Guard answered with full morale. (End of this chapter)
