Return of the Dragon God

Chapter 27: Be My Attendant

Under her veil, Ye Lingyu's face had turned bright red due to her frustration. She hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I won't harm you. That millennium cold ice is really important to me."

Ye Lingyu was well aware of Lin Mo's current thoughts, and it was quite likely that he would never give it to her out of fear of her strength.

Lin Mo pondered for a moment. He couldn't fully trust her words, as he couldn't be certain of what would happen later. He decided, "How about this? I'll consider giving it back to you after I complete a task."

"What task?" Ye Lingyu asked.

"You don't need to worry about it. For now, just be my attendant," Lin Mo shrugged.

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingyu exclaimed, "What? You want me to be your attendant?"

She couldn't believe it. With her status and strength, she couldn't fathom becoming someone's attendant. If news of this got back to the Qingxuan Sect, there would likely be many people trying to harm Lin Mo.

"Whether you want to or not, you have to follow me. Otherwise, if I leave, where will you find me?" Lin Mo didn't take into account her identity, as he was currently in disguise. If any major trouble arose, he could easily change his appearance and disappear.

After saying that, Lin Mo didn't pay much attention to her and walked away. Ye Lingyu was left with no choice but to follow him, although she continued to glare at his back, muttering something under her breath.

As they walked further into the passage, Lin Mo used his spiritual power to sense what lay ahead. He heard voices and arguments coming from up ahead. Lin Mo expanded his spiritual power to investigate the situation.

In a platform area ahead, seven people were standing. Four of them were from the Li family, while three belonged to the City Lord's Mansion. Above the platform, a blue light was hovering irregularly, and within that light, there was a shadow of a blade, presumably the low-grade spiritual treasure Wang Liyang had mentioned.

Wang Liyang stood between the two groups, looking angry, as he addressed the Li family members, "Although our two families are about to become relatives, don't think we won't do anything to you."

Li Yue, the leader of the Li family group, was in his thirties and had mediocre talent. Despite practicing for many years, he had only reached the peak of the ninth stage of martial arts. Upon hearing Wang Liyang's words, he replied, "Wang Liyang, this treasure is currently ownerless. It's not considered stealing if we take it."

"You can think whatever you want, but this treasure can only belong to me. If you don't know your place, you can go down below and have some fun," Wang Liyang coldly replied, gesturing towards the dark abyss below the platform.

The Li family members' expressions changed upon hearing this. They were tempted by the treasure, but they valued their lives more. Facing an opponent with a cultivator at the first stage of the Elemental Wheel Realm, they had no chance of winning. Therefore, they retreated.

Just as they were leaving, a blue light shot down from the sky and passed between Wang Liyang and the Li family members. It struck the blue light on the platform, causing it to deviate from its path, preventing Wang Liyang from grabbing it.

The final blue light soared into the sky, out of Wang Liyang's reach. The two elderly men from the City Lord's Mansion also quickly retreated.

"Who dares to interfere? Are you seeking death?" Wang Liyang angrily shouted.

His gaze turned towards the entrance, where Lin Mo and Ye Lingyu stood. The other elderly cultivator also glared at them, saying, "You, with no eyes, get over here."

Lin Mo's eyes were filled with killing intent as he looked at Wang Liyang. He muttered, "They must die."

Wang Liyang shouted, "Kill them!"

Lin Mo replied, "Let's see who kills whom!"

He turned to Ye Lingyu and whispered, "If you want that millennium cold ice, help me block the old man."

Ye Lingyu was furious, but Lin Mo ignored her and added, "Whether you help or not, I will die, and you won't get the millennium cold ice."

Frustrated, Ye Lingyu stomped her foot, realizing that she had no other option. She muttered, "Fine, I'll block that old man for you."

"Don't worry, I won't use you. But that millennium cold ice must be given back to me, or else you'll have no place to hide," Lin Mo said with a smile.

This statement left Ye Lingyu seething with anger. She couldn't believe that she was being threatened by Lin Mo repeatedly in Tianlan City, a place much smaller than the Qingxuan Sect. However, she had no choice; otherwise, Lin Mo might die, and the millennium cold ice would be lost to her.

Lin Mo turned to face the approaching Wang Liyang, his eyes filled with determination.
