19: Chapter 19 Kill the demoness, gain freedom!

Until her death, Ye Zhirou never figured out what thing had decapitated her.

The bloody head rolled on the ground, the brilliance in her eyes fading little by little.

Cao Cuicui, who had turned around upon hearing the screams just moments ago, was already so frightened that her face had lost all color.

Knowing full well that he was definitely no match for Cao Cuicui in a direct confrontation, Lin Mo chose not to struggle free from the binding of the wooden vines, but instead began to shout loudly.

"It's that curse! I just saw a white figure flash past!"

"Senior Sister Cao, come save me quickly! I am willing to be your beast of burden!"

"Hurry up and untie me!"

The rain grew heavier and heavier.

How could Cao Cuicui possibly care about Lin Mo? At this moment, she was already panic-stricken and scared out of her wits; summoning her Flying Sword, she prepared to flee the scene.

The exact moment she stepped onto her Flying Sword and soared into the air, a streak of silver light pierced straight through her chest, sending blood spraying everywhere!

That wasn't the end of it; the Immortal-Slaying Flying Blade, like a red-hot knife, effortlessly pierced through her right chest cavity once more.

Cao Cuicui could only be seen plummeting straight down like a kite with a snapped string.

The Immortal-Slaying Flying Blade slashed apart all the tree vines binding Lin Mo. Performing a carp leap, Lin Mo stood up, and disregarding the sense of powerlessness from having his Spiritual Qi drained, he sprinted to Kong Li's side.

The Undying Holy Body rapidly circulated, and the cyan Qi was sucked completely clean by Lin Mo within five breaths.

[Mission completed!]

[Reward: Heavenly Eye Divine Ability!]

[Triggered long-term hidden mission —— Curse of Unrequited Love!]

[Current hidden mission unlock rate: 5%]

Lin Mo didn't have the leisure time to bother with any hidden missions right now.

Erasing traces by setting fire to the forest like last time was impossible, so he took out Corpse-Dissolving Liquid and poured it onto each person's corpse.

Ye Zhirou probably never imagined that one day her corpse would vanish into the Corpse-Dissolving Liquid she herself had refined.

Amid thunder Zhenzhen, Lin Mo only felt stars dancing before his eyes with strong signs of fainting. He bit the tip of his tongue to keep himself awake, and then left the scene at top speed.

The muddy road was extremely difficult to walk on, and the exposed stone surface was made extremely slippery by the rainwater. Being slightly careless, Lin Mo rolled down the cliff.

"Forget it, since I was entrusted by someone, I might as well mind this business."

At the moment he passed out, Lin Mo only saw a pair of massive breasts, and immediately knew nothing more.

In the curtain of rain, the beautiful woman who caught Lin Mo and held him flashed back before the Water Curtain Cave. With a wave of her long sleeves, all the aura remaining from Lin Mo was completely wiped away.

The beautiful woman was seen flying through thin air, completely leaving the range of Lintan Cliff in just five breaths. When passing by a pavilion, she tossed Lin Mo right inside.

With another flash of her figure, the beautiful woman vanished without a trace.

The rain fell for the entire night!

When Lin Mo opened his eyes, through the blurriness, he saw a red butt.

A few wild monkeys in the mountains were jumping around blindly right in front of him.

Springing up abruptly, Lin Mo first checked his entire body from top to bottom.

Sleeping outside on the territory of the Hehuan Sect was no different from leaving one's doors wide open!

"Hoo~" Lin Mo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "Damn it, that scared the hell out of me! I thought I got corpse-picked!"

Checking himself over once more, Lin Mo then discovered that the triangular Talisman on his neck was gone!

Oh no! It couldn't have been dropped right in front of the Water Curtain Cave, could it?

Returning there now was definitely out of the question; otherwise, it would be no different from throwing himself into a net voluntarily.

Lin Mo had still somewhat overestimated himself; he had actually sensed long ago that Ye Zhirou had left a backup plan.

However, what he didn't expect was that Cao Cuicui was actually one of Qin Changge's people too!

It seemed that the degree of infighting at the top of the Hehuan Sect was even fiercer than imagined.

A pale fish-belly white appeared on the horizon, and Lin Mo hurriedly headed to the Affairs Hall to receive his chores.

There was no movement during the Chen hour in the morning. After going to collect today's portion of Bigu Pills at noon, someone rushed hurriedly into the Utility Disciple hall.

"Goodness gracious, the legend of Lintan Cliff is actually true!"

"Today, all the on-duty Disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall went over, and four second-tier inner sect Disciples died!"

"Not even their bones were left!"

"Lin Mo! Where is Lin Mo!"

Lin Mo's heart gave a jolt. Just as he stood up, that person darted right in front of him.

"Lin Mo, Senior Sister Ye Zhirou is also dead!"

Lin Mo, who desperately wanted to laugh, relied on his super-strong self-control to suppress the corners of his mouth from turning up.

——Harder to suppress than an AK!

Lin Mo put on a heart-broken expression, weeping as he prepared to go look for Ye Zhirou, but was grabbed by someone.

"Hey hey! Don't mess around blindly. Right now, the Disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall are investigating."

"At this critical juncture of preparing for such a major event as the rank promotions, two such incidents happening back-to-back means they're likely going to crack down hard!"

Another person on the side said, "Come to think of it, it's strange. Both of these matters seem to have happened after Senior Sister Gu Qinghuan was stripped of her position as the chief Disciple."

"I'm telling you guys, when I came back, I happened to see the Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall leading people to interrogate Qinghuan."

Lin Mo frowned slightly. "Can they even drag this into it?"

"Of course! If you want to condemn someone, charges are easy to find."

"Anyway, you just honestly stay put and don't mess around blindly. Although Senior Sister Ye treated you well, you surely can't joke with your own life, right?"

Lin Mo thought to himself, *Heh, that enchantress indeed treated me well!*

"Forget it, everyone has their own destiny. May Senior Sister Ye have a smooth journey on her final road."

Seeing Lin Mo walk over to a chair in the corner with a desolate expression to close his eyes and concentrate, the crowd gathered once more around the Utility Disciple who brought the news to ask further questions.

Lin Mo looked like his heart had turned to ash, but in reality, he was pricking up his ears to listen.

This guy had merely overheard some rumors along the way; how could a Utility Disciple possibly know the inside story? He could only drag it onto the curse of Lintan Cliff.

To be honest, Lin Mo was quite panicked right now, fearing that the triangular Talisman he wore had been dropped at the scene.

What should he do if that cold and glamorous Senior Sister got implicated?

Lin Mo spent the entire day in such anxiety.

As the moonlight grew thick, Lin Mo walked toward the direction of Qingxue Pavilion.

On the way, he encountered Disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall grabbing people for questioning, and suddenly one of them pointed at Lin Mo.

"It's him! He is Lin Mo!"

Lin Mo: *Listen to me, say thank you to you, because of you...*

A female Disciple wearing the black stand-collar immortal robe of the Law Enforcement Hall flashed instantly in front of Lin Mo.

That purple lipstick and curvaceous figure could genuinely rival some of the married women in manga.

"I've heard for a long time that Senior Sister Ye raised a remarkably handsome Junior Brother in her courtyard, just to look at and not use. Seeing him today, the rumors are indeed true."

Lin Mo performed an immortal greeting: "Hello, Senior Sister."

"Have you heard about Ye Zhirou perishing at Lintan Cliff?"

Lin Mo looked desolate: "Yes, I only heard about it at noon today."

"Hengheng~ How about it? Do you want to come to my courtyard to serve me? My courtyard is much bigger than Ye Zhirou's."

At this moment, another male Disciple came over and said sternly, "Junior Sister, stop fooling around while on duty."

The female Disciple stuck out her fragrant tongue and retreated to the side.

"Lin Mo, let me ask you, when Senior Sister Ye went to Lintan Cliff, did the two of you meet?"

Lin Mo answered truthfully: "We met once in the early morning."

"What did you talk about? Retell it in detail."

"We talked about things regarding Senior Brother Kong, and then... cursed Senior Sister Su many times fiercely."

Lin Mo was questioned relentlessly for a long time, and the male Disciple recorded everything one by one, without raising the slightest suspicion.

In their eyes, Lin Mo was merely a Utility Disciple at the Body Tempering realm, yet four Foundation Establishment Cultivators had died at the scene of Lintan Cliff.

If someone could cross two major realms to fight and kill them, and even kill four in one breath—

Relying on that Aptitude, would he be a Utility Disciple?

However, final confirmation was still necessary.

"Put your hand on it."

Lin Mo placed his hand on an ink-colored glazed sphere, and the light emitted from it was extremely faint.

"Junior Sister, record it: Ninth Grade of Body Tempering realm, no special Physique."

After the questioning, Lin Mo instead grabbed the Senior Brother's hand and refused to let go, crying tears of snot and sorrow:

"Senior Brother, you must catch the murderer! You must avenge Senior Sister Ye!"

This deeply moved the two of them; after all, genuine emotion was a rare commodity in the Hehuan Sect.

Once they left that place, Lin Mo instantly returned to normal.

Regarding the matter concerning Ye Zhirou and Su Qianqian, he admitted that what he did was not entirely perfect.

But it was the only way left under the circumstances. When pushed to the edge, not taking risks was no different from sitting still and waiting for death.

Upon reaching Qingxue Pavilion, Lin Mo stepped into the grand array in a single stride.

He also found it strange: why was this grand array completely useless to him?

Could it be that he wasn't a person of this world, which was why he wasn't affected by all the barriers and boundary seals of this realm?

He would have to find a chance to test this out.

Later, when holding hands with the cold and glamorous Senior Sister, he would receive the Heavenly Eye Divine Ability again to see what wonderful uses this Divine Ability actually had.
