Return of the Dragon God

Chapter 29: Ink Scale Blade

Ignoring the old man's words, Lin Mo walked over and pulled out the steel knife embedded in Wang Li's body. He then prepared to give the old man a similar fate.

"Does it have to be a m******e when there's no grudge or resentment?" Ye Lingyu frowned, speaking at this moment. Despite helping Lin Mo subdue the old man, she didn't want others to die causelessly because of her.

Hearing her words, Lin Mo had a second thought. His goal was Wang Li's death, and others had not provoked him. He decided to spare the old man. After retrieving the floating light in the sky, he hurriedly left the cave with Ye Lingyu.

However, what he didn't expect was that shortly after he left, Wang Li struggled to open his eyes, startling the old man who saw his appearance.

"Young Master, you... aren't dead?" The old man asked in astonishment. Lin Mo's knife had genuinely pierced his heart.

Wang Li covered his wound, saying, "My heart is located differently from others; it's on the right side, so I fortunately survived."

"Great, Young Master, you have exceptional luck," the old man exclaimed. He then took out some healing medicine and gave it to Wang Li.

"Momo, quickly send a signal to the master and see if we can capture that dog couple," Wang Li ordered after regaining some strength.

After regaining some energy, Wang Li said, "Old Mo, quickly send a signal to the master and see if we can capture that dog couple."

"All right, let me help you up first," Old Mo replied.

More than ten minutes later, everyone inside the cold pool had completely withdrawn. Wang Muyang and other senior experts, after leading away the Ice Beast, also retreated to another location. They regrouped shortly after.

Upon learning that Wang Li had almost been killed in the cave, Wang Muyang was furious and ordered a part of the guards from the City Lord's Mansion to quickly go to the exit of the Northern Gloomy Mountain Range to guard.

They searched outward from the location of the cold pool.

...

At this moment, Lin Mo and Ye Lingyu were sitting by a river. Lin Mo was leisurely roasting fish, while Ye Lingyu was sulking.

"Hey, when are you going to return the Thousand-Year Cold Ice to me?" Ye Lingyu looked at Lin Mo angrily.

Lin Mo glanced at her, chuckling, "When the time is right, I'll naturally give it back to you. No need to be in such a hurry."

Actually, Lin Mo couldn't return it yet. The War Soul of the Fire Spirit Bird, like the Purple Electric Azure Dragon, was trapped by the Emperor's Spirit Lock, and Lin Mo lacked the authority to unlock it until he reached the first rank of Soul Master.

"I warn you, if you dare to deceive me, I won't spare you," Ye Lingyu said angrily.

Lin Mo replied, "With your attitude, I'm worried that after giving it back, I won't end up in one piece."

"You... If I say I won't kill you, then I won't kill you," Ye Lingyu said, although inwardly, she thought, 'I won't kill you, but I'll definitely teach you a lesson! Hmph.'

After Lin Mo roasted two fish, he threw one to her. Although she was still angry, the fragrant roasted fish slightly alleviated her annoyance.

After eating, Lin Mo took out the blue light he obtained from the cave. The light covered his body, but a faint outline of a long knife could still be seen within.

"Is this a spiritual treasure?" Lin Mo felt somewhat excited. He didn't expect to obtain a spiritual treasure at the end of the day.

Although it was a low-level spiritual treasure, it was still rare in the entire Tianlan City.

However, Ye Lingyu's sudden words made Lin Mo realize that her background might not be simple.

"A low-level spiritual treasure, and you're so excited. You really have a low vision," Ye Lingyu suddenly commented.

Lin Mo glanced at her. While this spiritual treasure was indeed low-level, it was still rare in Tianlan City. For him, who was considered a low-ranking individual, it was a valuable treasure.

"You people naturally can't understand the feelings of us warriors in this class," Lin Mo replied.

"Tch, stop belittling yourself. It's just your narrow perspective," Ye Lingyu retorted. "In the world, there are countless treasures. If you are strong enough, anything can be easily obtained. However, if you persist in this low-level thinking, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave Tianlan City."

Hearing this, Lin Mo was taken aback. He had indeed underestimated himself. As a dragon, how could he look down on himself like this?

Seeing that Lin Mo was affected by her words, Ye Lingyu felt a sense of satisfaction. Since Lin Mo stole the Thousand-Year Cold Ice from her, she had been holding back her anger.

However, this feeling lasted for less than five seconds before Lin Mo broke it.

Lin Mo sat up, saying, "I will refine the Ice Spirit Grass now. Protect me."

His tone carried a commanding tone, causing Ye Lingyu to feel extremely angry. After all, she was a noble lady, and Lin Mo's attitude made her unhappy.

"Why should I?" Ye Lingyu asked. However, Lin Mo paid no attention to her and took out the Ice Spirit Grass to refine it.

He was in a hurry because he wanted to improve his spiritual power quickly and become a Soul Master. Once he reached the first rank of Soul Master, he could unlock the Emperor's Spirit Lock and return the Thousand-Year Cold Ice to Ye Lingyu.

Seeing Lin Mo like this, Ye Lingyu was infuriated, biting her teeth. Soon, Lin Mo successfully refined the Ice Spirit Grass. A massive spiritual power rushed into his mind.

Feeling the surging spiritual power, Lin Mo didn't hesitate. He immediately started condensing the Holy Tower in his mind. Previously, he had already formed the rudimentary shape of a nine-story tower. Now, he only needed to use a considerable amount of spiritual power to completely condense it.

As time passed, the shape of the Holy Tower became increasingly solid. When it was finally fully formed, Lin Mo officially became a Soul Master.

At this moment, not far from them, several guards wearing black armor were walking towards them. They were the guards sent by Wang Muyang to search for them.
