Chapter 60: Sect Master Strikes

Liu Yue suddenly turned around and looked at Lin Mo with sharp eyes. "What? You are the branch master of the Langya Branch?"

Lin Mo gently nodded. "You came to my branch and injured its Elder. Your Excellency probably owe me an explanation, right?"

Liu Yue laughed audaciously. "An explanation? You still want to demand an explanation from me? Let me ask you, was the commotion of the treasure appearing just now caused by you?"

"Damn you, Lin Mo! Our main Sect recommended you to be the branch master, but not only did you build shoddy projects and line your own pockets, now that a ruin has appeared in the branch, you even want to swallow it all by yourself. I think you are tired of living."

Lin Mo and the others looked at each other. Finding so many reasons, the other party was undoubtedly plotting for Qing Yuanzi's Treasure Trove.

He chuckled and said, "Langya Branch Disciples, listen to my orders! This unidentified Cultivator beat up our Sect's Elder Wang Dabiao. Everyone attack, execute without mercy!"

Liu Yue stood in mid-air and shouted, "I am the Young Lord of the main Sect, how dare you?"

Lin Mo smiled and took the lead in making a move. "You still dare to impersonate the Young Lord of the main Sect? That's a crime on top of a crime! All Disciples, if you don't make a move, you will be dealt with as traitors to the Sect right now."

The fishbone Flying Sword in Lin Mo's hand turned into a cyan stream of light. Before the opponent could even react, the Flying Sword had already arrived right in front of him.

Shangguan Rouer, Senior Sister Huang Doudou, and Senior Sister Leng Hanyue were not to be outdone either, each unleashing their own methods to attack.

In the Langya Branch, only a few Elders knew Liu Yue's identity.

At this moment, numerous Disciples made their move one after another. These Elders also gritted their teeth and directed all sorts of Magical Artifacts at Liu Yue.

When many things develop to a certain extent, true and false are no longer important. Just like now, even if some Elders knew Liu Yue was the Young Lord of the Soul-Devouring Beast Sect.

Since everyone present considered Liu Yue to be fake, then he was fake!

Poor Liu Yue only had the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation. Under the siege of so many people, he couldn't even last a single round before being blasted into fine powder by countless Magical Artifacts.

Lin Mo clapped his hands and said, "The Langya Branch is united as one and bravely resists external enemies. In a few days, I will definitely apply for rewards for everyone from the main Sect."

The Disciples also shouted in unison, but some Elders were already quietly retreating.

Just now, the situation forced their hand, and they had no choice but to attack. If this continued, it would be aiding an evildoer.

However, all the Disciples wore smiles on their faces, feeling that they had performed a great service. Once the branch master reported to the main Sect, they would surely be heavily rewarded.

Looking at the expressions of the many Disciples, Lin Mo also showed a satisfied look on his face. Under his management, the Langya Branch had now become as solid as a rock.

Meanwhile, at the main Sect of the Soul-Devouring Beast Sect, Sect Master Liu Jianli abruptly stood up and exclaimed, "Who is it? Who killed my son?! I will definitely make you pay with your life, and I will roast your Divine Soul day after day!"

Liu Jianli didn't even greet anyone else. Alone, he controlled his escaping light and headed towards the Langya Branch. He had already figured it out on the way: as long as it was confirmed that Liu Yue died at the Langya Branch.

He wouldn't even bother investigating; he would first beat the current branch master to death, and then slowly figure out who killed Liu Yue.

After silently looking at each other, the five Elders of the Soul-Devouring Beast Sect said, "We shall follow the Sect Master to investigate and find out the truth!"

One of them was the Elder who had given Lin Mo advance notice.

When Liu Jianli, the Sect Master of the Soul-Devouring Beast Sect, arrived at the Langya Branch, Elder Jiu Jiu of the Jade Maiden Immortal Sect had already been waiting for a long time.

Fearing she couldn't take down the opponent by herself, she specifically called Tao Yaoye, who possessed the Feathered Immortal Body, to help.

Jiu Jiu vented all her recent frustrations on Liu Jianli and sneered, "Demonic Path brash fellow, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Liu Jianli let out a cold snort and released his Spirit Beast, the Myriad Soul Banner: "You are the one who killed my son! I want you to pay with your life!"

Countless black Spirit Beast souls roared and lunged at Jiu Jiu.

Jiu Jiu smiled disdainfully. "How could dead Spirit Beasts possibly win against living Spirit Beasts?"

After saying that, she took out the Spirit Beast pouch from her waist and released a dozen or so Spirit Beasts.

White Deer, Mountain Giant Ape, Two-Winged Flying Tiger, Profound Ice Viper…

The numerous Spirit Beasts engaged in a fierce battle with Liu Jianli's beast souls, beating his beast souls into a steady retreat.

Seizing the right timing, Tao Yaoye swung out a Sword Qi, splitting a crack into the protective Magic Treasure in front of Liu Jianli. It looked like it couldn't withstand a few more attacks.

Liu Jianli's heart sank. With two Nascent Soul Stage Elders from the Jade Maiden Immortal Sect, if he continued to stay here, he might capsize in the sewer.

As he was thinking about how to retreat—a Devil Head seeking revenge is not too late even in ten years, and when he staged a comeback next time, he would definitely make these people pay the price.

Coincidentally, several Elders came over to provide support at this moment.

Zhao Sanjia, who was at the lead, shouted, "Sect Master, we have come to assist in the fight."

Liu Jianli smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Several Elders, attack together and take down these two women for me!"

Meaningful smiles also appeared on the faces of the several Elders.

They successively unleashed their strongest offensive methods, but instead of attacking Jiu Jiu and Tao Yaoye, they targeted Liu Jianli.

Liu Jianli had no defense against this at all. Caught off guard, he was directly blasted flying backwards by the attacks of the five Elders.

Blood spilled from the corner of his mouth as he looked furious. "You beasts! I have treated you well, yet you actually betrayed me!!!"

Zhao Sanjia said matter-of-factly, "Sect Master, ever since I joined the Sect, I have been an undercover agent. No matter how well you treat me, I still must uphold the Righteous Path!"

The other few Elders also nodded in deep agreement.

Tao Yaoye controlled her Flying Sword and pierced through Liu Jianli's skull with a single sword strike.

Zhao Sanjia greeted them with a smile. "Greetings, two Fairies. We are the Outer Sect Elders of the Tianji Pavilion. I didn't expect to be able to meet the Fairies in the Inner Sect."

Tao Yaoye had an aloof expression and merely nodded.

Jiu Jiu said, "I can be considered to have completed my mission this time. The Jianghu is vast, let's meet again if fate allows."

The several Elders also nodded. Tao Yaoye and Jiu Jiu's demeanor matched the cultivation world's rumors about the Jade Maiden Immortal Sect very well.

Every female Cultivator inside the Jade Maiden Immortal Sect was as beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal, and at the same time, aloof and unapproachable.

Jiu Jiu went into the Sect to find Lin Mo. "Kid, the undercover mission is over. How do you feel?"

Lin Mo flashed a mouthful of bright white teeth. "Thinking about it, it really is thrilling."

"The internal Sect has already discussed this; they are very interested in the so-called Spirit Beast part-time work plan you proposed. In the future, it will also be one of the directions for our Sect to earn Spirit Stones. The Langya Branch will serve as a pilot project, and you will be in charge of it from now on," Jiu Jiu said.

Looking at Lin Mo's unhappy expression, she wanted nothing more than to beat Lin Mo up fiercely. However, thinking that she was an Elder of the Jade Maiden Immortal Sect, arguing with an Outer Sect Disciple would be too beneath an Elder's status.

She could only let out a long sigh, stopped looking at Lin Mo, turned around, and left on her escaping light.

Lin Mo himself knew he had offended Elder Jiu Jiu. Not giving her a chance for retaliation, he waved his hand and said, "Respectfully sending off the Elder. Next time, Elder can come to the Sect's Waste Pill Room to visit me."

Jiu Jiu's escaping light tilted in mid-air, and she almost crashed to the ground.
