8: Chapter 8: Two dogs fight, Lin Mo benefits!

Inside the Red Maple Forest at the East Mountain Gate, spring was in full bloom.

As the sun set in the west, the final brush of orange on the skyline outlined the contours of the mountain ridges stretching for thousands of miles, exceptionally breathtaking.

Lin Mo sprinted all the way deep into the forest, supporting his knees with both hands as he panted heavily.

Sweat had already soaked through his back, but he swallowed hard a few times and looked around.

The jade talisman showed that Wang Peilin was right here, so why was there no trace of him?

"If you were a cup of tea's time later, I would have left."

Hearing this, Lin Mo raised his head and saw on the towering maple tree's branches—

Wang Peilin, dressed in a cyan cross-collared long robe, was lying flat with his legs crossed, holding a maple leaf in his mouth.

Lin Mo bowed and said, "Senior Brother, please forgive me. I have yet to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm and cannot fly on a Flying Sword. The Sect's territory is truly too vast, and a kind Senior Sister gave me a ride for a very long way, which is why..."

Swoosh~

Wang Peilin flipped down and grabbed Lin Mo's collar: "You brat, do you understand the rules? I am taking you out in secret!"

Lin Mo smiled and said, "Senior Brother, rest assured, that Senior Sister dropped me off from afar and has no idea that I came over here."

Wang Peilin snorted coldly: "Consider yourself smart, kid. I've always valued honesty and integrity in business, and there will be a place for you to spend the night."

"However, if you have fun and want to find another girl, that will cost extra!"

Panting heavily, Lin Mo nodded repeatedly while his eyes darted around, sizing up Wang Peilin.

The jade pendant on him looked like a protective Spiritual Artifact, and he wondered if Wang Peilin was wearing an inner armor.

Ximen Zecheng should be arriving soon too. Since his Realm was lower than Wang Peilin's, Lin Mo had to find a way to launch a sneak attack on Wang Peilin.

Otherwise, tonight's plan would be completely ruined.

To be honest, Lin Mo's heart was beating very fast right now; acting tonight was no different from walking on the tip of a blade.

A single misstep and he would be doomed beyond redemption!

Currently, only his Chaos True Flame could harm Wang Peilin, so he had to find the right opportunity to heavily injure him and thereby suppress his combat power.

At this moment, the last trace of orange on the horizon had dissipated, and their vision suddenly darkened.

Wang Peilin formed hand seals with both hands, and a Flying Sword floated out from his qiankun bag, expanding rapidly against the wind.

"I will take you directly to the East Mountain Gate's teleportation array. Remember, don't talk nonsense. If anyone asks, just say an Elder from the Law Enforcement Hall sent you on a mission."

"Understood!"

"Get on."

Lin Mo jumped onto the Flying Sword, pretending to be unsteady: "Senior Brother, I won't fall off, will I?"

Wang Peilin clicked his tongue in disdain: "Hold onto my waist. If I didn't find you kid rather pleasing to the eye, I wouldn't take this business."

Lin Mo flattered him with words while holding Wang Peilin's waist with both hands. The moment the Flying Sword soared into the air, a fierce wind brushed against his face.

"Senior Brother, look, is that Senior Sister Yu Meier?"

"Huh? Where, where?! Quickly point it out to me!"

Lin Mo's eyes turned cold as his index and middle fingers merged into a sword finger, carrying the outer red and inner white Chaos True Flame as he circled around to the front and directly stabbed towards the Dantian!

"Puff—!"

Wang Peilin instantly gasped, his face turning ashen as he spat a mouthful of fresh blood.

After a miserable scream, the newly risen Flying Sword tumbled crookedly to the ground like a maple leaf drifting in the wind.

Wang Peilin rolled all over the ground, tearing off his outer robe which had begun to burn. The shimmering silver thin armor shone brightly under the moonlight.

He only felt his Dantian being scorched by raging fire, and the True Qi inside his body began to run amok everywhere.

"Dammit, a mere Utility Disciple actually dared to scheme against me! Who put you up to this?!"

"Huh?"

When he raised his head, there wasn't even a trace of Lin Mo's shadow left.

"Bastard! If I don't catch you today and torture you to death, I'll take your last name!"

Meanwhile.

Ximen Zecheng stood with his hands behind his back on a Flying Sword, floating leisurely above the Red Maple Forest.

He looked at the note in his hand, his brows knitted tightly together.

It was written on it that his illicit affair with Zhao Yanan had been discovered, and if he didn't want Wang Peilin to find out, he should come to the Red Maple Forest at the Hour of Chen today for a chat.

There was no signature, and even the words on the letter paper were cut out from some books and pieced together.

Zhao Yanan was great in bed, and he hadn't had enough of her yet. If he could spend some Spirit Stones to shut this person's mouth, that would be good; if he could kill them directly, that would be even better!

He wasn't afraid of Wang Peilin; it was nothing more than having an uncle who was an Elder in the Law Enforcement Hall. Who didn't have backers these days?

His second uncle was also an Elder in the Pill Fragrance Hall, so who was afraid of whom?

It was just that he didn't want to ruin the thrill of this secret tryst. Recently, through Dual Cultivation with Zhao Yanan under such circumstances, his Realm had also been advancing by leaps and bounds, and he was about to reach the third rank of Foundation Establishment!

By then, when he grew tired of playing, he would part ways amicably with Zhao Yanan, and nothing would happen. Hehehe, by then he could let Zhao Yanan get pregnant with his child and then let Wang Peilin raise it—how wonderful, how wonderful!

Just as he was thinking this, the sound of hurried, sprinting footsteps suddenly came from beside his ears.

He saw a person covered in blood running out from the forest, waving frantically at him.

Seeing this, Ximen Zecheng broke through the air and arrived in an instant, before he could even ask.

Lin Mo, who had deliberately injured himself earlier and smeared his face with blood, spoke in a rapid, flustered, and hurried voice:

"Senior Brother, you must leave quickly! Senior Brother Wang Peilin knows about you and Zhao Yanan!"

"He is about to rush over and kill you, run quickly!"

What Lin Mo wanted was this tense, urging buildup; he couldn't give Ximen Zecheng a chance to think, otherwise there was no guarantee he wouldn't notice any loopholes.

For example, how did a Utility Disciple at the Body Tempering Realm manage to escape from a Foundation Establishment Inner Sect Disciple?

Hearing this, Ximen Zecheng frowned: "Did he really say he wants to kill me?"

Lin Mo shoved him: "Senior Brother, stop asking! Senior Brother Wang's hair is standing on end with rage, and his eyes are completely red!"

"He cursed you as a damned bastard who actually dared to steal his woman, and said he wants to chop off your thing and feed it to the dogs!"

Hearing this, Ximen Zecheng's anger also flared up: "What absolute bullshit!"

"I've found him an eyesore for a long time. Let him come!"

Swoosh—!

As soon as his voice fell.

Wang Peilin arrived on his Flying Sword with bloodshot eyes and curses, instantly locking onto Lin Mo who was hiding behind Ximen Zecheng!

Seeing this, Lin Mo roared angrily: "Wang Peilin, Senior Brother Ximen is not afraid of you! You might as well give up on that thought early!"

High in the sky, Wang Peilin gritted his teeth, his fingers gripping his sharp sword turning white: "Ximen Zecheng, you actually have a thing with him!"

Lin Mo: Oh???

This wasn't a line I arranged.

This was precisely the part Lin Mo worried about the most, fearing that the two of them would review and recap things themselves first.

Now that Wang Peilin said it like this, Ximen Zecheng would naturally assume it referred to him having a thing with Zhao Yanan.

Ximen Zecheng also took out a cold-glaring precious sword from his qiankun bag: "So what if I have a thing with her?"

Wang Peilin was so angry that the veins on his temples throbbed: "I will definitely kill him today!"

Ximen Zecheng raised his sword in confrontation: "She is someone I am protecting; no one can even think of killing her!"

Wang Peilin bent his knees on the Flying Sword to gather strength, then shot straight towards Ximen Zecheng like a cannonball: "Then I will kill you together with her!!!"

"Who do you think I am afraid of? Today, either you die or I die!"
