Killing intent filled the terrified Tianyun City Lord!
Lin Mo was in a bad mood right now, a very bad mood.
One second he was happily sipping wine and enjoying delicacies, savoring a rare moment of leisure.
The next second, the commotion downstairs ruined everything.
He had initially released his Divine Sense with the intention of watching the spectacle, wanting to see what was happening.
But that one glance instantly ignited a towering rage within him!
The vigorous Qi and blood that had just calmed down in his body completely lost control, exploding with a roar, and even the walls of the restaurant were shattered into a sky full of dust.
Why was he so enraged?
The reason was simple.
He knew the two young girls who were now huddled together on the ground, filthy and full of despair.
And it was more than just knowing them.
Those two girls could even be considered his family in this life!
At the beginning of his Transmigration, Lin Mo was just an abandoned infant, picked up and adopted by a lonely old man in the village.
After the old man passed away, it was Uncle Liu and Aunt Wu's family next door who had always helped him, treating him as their own.
Uncle Liu was a hunter, simple and kind-hearted. Aunt Wu was also diligent and virtuous, and they had two daughters, Liu Qingyao and Liu Qingyu.
The two little girls had been his shadow since childhood, constantly calling out "Brother Mo," "Brother Mo," their soft, childish voices always making him vaguely recall his younger sister back on Blue Star.
Thus, without realizing it, he had long come to regard these two girls as his own younger sisters, as a spiritual sustenance.
It could be said that the time he spent with them was his warmest memory in this world.
It wasn't until three years ago, in order to embark on the path of Cultivation, that he had no choice but to part ways with the two sisters and their family.
And the scenes from before his departure were still clearly etched in his mind.
Uncle Liu and Aunt Wu took out more than half of their already meager savings and forced them upon him as travel expenses.
His two younger sisters cried their eyes out, chasing after him for a very long distance.
"Brother Mo, will you still come back to see us in the future?"
"Of course! When I become an Immortal, I'll come back to pick you up and let you live a good life too!"
This was the promise he had made to the two little girls back then.
He even remembered the adorable dimples that appeared on their tear-streaked little faces when they heard those words.
But the reality that followed dealt him a heavy blow.
During his three years in the Qingxuan Sect, he endured countless cold shoulders and tasted all sorts of hardships, barely able to protect himself, and this promise was reluctantly buried deep in his heart.
But now, he had seen them again in such a tragic way.
How could this not enrage him?!
Fragments of memories overlapped with the tragic scene before him, and the anger and guilt in Lin Mo's heart intertwined, then transformed into icy killing intent.
He slowly rose, walking out from the second floor, treading the Void Realm, step by step, descending towards the street below.
This scene caused everyone below to turn pale with fright.
"Controlling... controlling the air! It's a great Cultivator of the Spirit Sea Realm!"
"Oh my god, how could such a powerful individual appear here?"
The crowd exclaimed, retreating in unison, fearing they might be caught in the crossfire.
And Chen Er, the owner of the steamed bun shop, was already scared out of his Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, his pants wet with a warm liquid.
He wasn't a fool; seeing the figure descending from the sky looking at the two little beggars on the ground with an expression of extreme heartache, how could he not understand what a huge mess he had stirred up!
It's over, completely over.
Boundless fear gripped his heart, and the instinct for survival made him want to explain, to beg for mercy.
"This... Your Excellency, please listen to me..."
Boom!
But before he could speak, an irresistible and terrifying pressure descended from the sky, crashing heavily upon him.
Crack!
His kneecaps instantly shattered, and he fell heavily to the ground, the hard bluestone slabs cracking under the impact.
He opened his mouth, but no sound came from his throat; even breathing became incredibly difficult, and he could only watch as the ominous figure approached step by step.
Lin Mo paid no attention to Chen Er, who was kneeling there, not even sparing him a glance.
He ignored all the fearful gazes around him, walked directly in front of the two young girls, and slowly crouched down.
He reached out, wanting to brush away the dirt from his elder sister Liu Qingyao's face, but then feared startling her, so his movement stopped mid-air.
"It's alright now."
He used all the tenderness he possessed, speaking softly.
"I'm sorry, I came late."
Liu Qingyao and Liu Qingyu, the two sisters, had already been stunned by this sudden turn of events.
They stared blankly at the face before them, which was both familiar and a little strange, unable to utter a single word.
Seeing their dazed expressions, Lin Mo's heart ached even more.
With a thought from his Divine Sense, a Medicinal Pill radiating a rich vitality appeared at his fingertips.
A third-grade elixir, the Vitality Pill.
This was a precious healing elixir that Su Qinghan had given him, worth a fortune, but he didn't hesitate at all, gently placing the Medicinal Pill into Liu Qingyao's mouth.
The Medicinal Pill melted upon entering her mouth, transforming into a warm current that surged through her limbs and bones.
Under everyone's astonished gaze, Liu Qingyao's broken left leg visibly recovered to its original state, broken bones Rebirth, wounds healing.
Lin Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He completely disregarded the dirt on the sisters, helped the newly recovered Liu Qingyao onto his back, and then bent down to gently lift Liu Qingyu, who was somewhat dazed with fright, into his arms.
After doing all this, he finally turned around and cast his gaze upon the culprit kneeling on the ground.
Chen Er's legs had been completely crippled by the earlier pressure; he was now sprawled on the ground, trembling uncontrollably.
He wanted to beg for mercy, but that invisible force still restrained him, preventing him from even letting out a whimper.
Lin Mo naturally wouldn't give him a chance to speak.
With a slight thought, a solid-looking Geng Metal Sword Glow materialized out of thin air, silently slicing through.
Pfft!
Two arms were severed at the shoulders, and blood gushed out.
Chen Er's expression twisted in agony, and fear magnified to the extreme in his pupils.
He finally understood the despair that the two sisters had felt not long ago.
No, this was even more despairing.
Because he saw that the life-taking Sword Glow was now hovering before his neck, its tip emitting a deadly cold gleam.
"No! He's going to kill me! He's really going to kill me!"
Chen Er roared frantically in his heart, struggling with all his might, but couldn't even manage to squirm.
Just at this critical moment, a powerful shout full of Qi came from afar, instantly invigorating him.
"Audacious scoundrel! Killing is forbidden in Tianyun City! Stop right now!"
This voice was like heavenly music to Chen Er.
It was his cousin! His cousin had arrived!
However, Lin Mo didn't even twitch an eyebrow.
The Sword Glow flashed.
A head soared into the sky, tumbled a few times in the air, and then fell heavily to the ground, still bearing the look of relief at having escaped death.
"Damn it! How dare you!"
"Die for me!"
A burly man in city guard uniform, seeing his cousin still killed on the spot, immediately burst into a rage.
He drew the saber from his waist and, without a word, charged towards Lin Mo with a gust of wind, bringing his saber down on him!
But facing this fierce attack, Lin Mo still held his younger sister and carried his elder sister, not even raising a hand.
The Sword Glow that had killed Chen Er now traced a graceful arc in the air, meeting the incoming blade.
Clang!
With a crisp sound, the saber in the burly man's hand snapped in two.
The Sword Glow continued its momentum, instantly piercing through his body.
The burly man's charging body stiffened abruptly, and before the rage on his face could dissipate, he fell straight down.
Even in death, he didn't understand why he, a Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator, had died so easily.
One could only say that he hadn't witnessed Lin Mo's earlier descent from the sky; if he had known, he wouldn't have been puzzled.
Well, now he could only be a confused ghost... "Brother Mo... is it really you?"
"Am I not dreaming?"
At this moment, Liu Qingyao, on Lin Mo's back, finally came to her senses. She reached out with a trembling hand, gently touching Lin Mo's cheek, and asked with a choked voice, disbelievingly.
"It's not a dream, it's me."
Lin Mo turned his head, comforting her softly.
"It's alright, I'll protect you from now on. What happened today will absolutely never happen again."
"Alright, it's too chaotic here. I'll take you away first."
"Leave?"
A majestic voice rang out.
"After killing someone in my Tianyun City, Your Excellency still expects to just walk away?"
"You're too disrespectful to me, the City... Uh!!"
A middle-aged man in brocade robes, with a profound aura, had just arrived.
But before he could finish his sentence, his voice abruptly stopped, all the remaining words caught in his throat.
Simply because an indescribably terrifying Sword Intent erupted from within Lin Mo with a roar!
Boom!
This power, like divine might descending, instantly enveloped an area of a hundred miles.
Above the sky, the wind and clouds changed color, the clouds were torn into a giant vortex, and an invisible sharpness filled every corner of the world, making all the Cultivators in the entire Tianyun City gasp for breath.
Lin Mo slowly raised his head, his indifferent gaze falling upon the City Lord of Tianyun City.
"What did you just say?"
