......

Behind Longhu Mountain, in an ancient forest, moonlight poured down like water, enveloping the entire forest in a silvery-white glow.

However, the tranquility of the night was shattered by a fierce battle.

Several disciples from Longhu Mountain collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

They had no obvious injuries, but their breathing was weak, suggesting they had been subdued by special means.

Xia Liuqing led more than a dozen Quanxing members and quietly infiltrated Longhu Mountain.

The goal was clear—to steal the Celestial Master's Decree while everyone on Longhu Mountain was celebrating after the Luotian Grand Ceremony.

Looking at the Longhu Mountain disciple lying on the ground, Xia Liuqing's eyes flashed with disdain: "The Longhu Mountain disciples are getting more and more useless. They couldn't even sense our approach. They've truly disgraced the reputation of the number one sect in the world of supernatural beings."

"Senior Xia Liuqing, do we really have to do this?"

"Longhu Mountain is one of the oldest sects in the world of supernatural beings. If it were discovered..."

"Shut up!" Xia Liuqing interrupted him coldly, a fierce glint in her eyes. "The Celestial Master's Degree is of paramount importance to the Quanxing Sect."

"The old Celestial Master is currently with Zhang Huaiyi's grandson, which is the best opportunity."

"If you're scared, go back now. I don't need cowards!"

The young man, silenced by the rebuke, dared not utter another word and simply lowered his head.

"But didn't Senior Tu Junfang say we should be careful? Especially with that Jiang Mo..."

"Jiang Mo?" Xia Liuqing sneered, a hint of barely perceptible fear flashing in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

"How strong can that so-called Gu Master be? He was just lucky before, and he was able to deal with a few Quanxing members."

"If he dares to stop me today, I will make him understand the true power of the Quanxing Sect!"

Although Xia Liuqing spoke with absolute certainty, those who knew him well could detect a hint of unease in his tone.

After all, he had personally witnessed Jiang Mo's terrifying strength in the battle at Wangjing Building.

Such an overwhelming victory even made Xia Liuqing, an elder of the Quanxing Sect, wary.

"But it's said he's already killed three of the Four Great Madmen..."

"It's just a rumor!" Xia Liuqing waved her hand impatiently, her tone tinged with a hint of panic.

"The Four Madmen of Quanxing are not so easily killed. Those rumors were just released by the company to sow discord among the troops."

"Besides, even if he really does have some tricks up his sleeve, facing me, Xia Liuqing, today he's doomed!"

Xia Liuqing's words were less about persuading others and more about bolstering her own courage.

If Jiang Mo really shows up, none of them will be able to escape.

But he couldn't refuse; Tu Junfang's orders were not something he could disobey.

"I heard he also cured Tian Jinzhong's severed limb..."

"What?" Xia Liuqing was stunned upon hearing this, a look of shock flashing in her eyes, followed by disbelief.

"That's impossible! Tian Jinzhong's injury was left during the Jia Shen Rebellion. It's a cursed injury; how could it possibly be healed?"

Even the most skilled healers in the world of supernatural beings are helpless against that kind of injury!

Xia Liuqing's voice unconsciously rose a few decibels, revealing the turmoil in his heart.

He knew about Tian Jinzhong's injuries; the kind of wounds that tear the soul apart were almost universally considered incurable in the world of supernatural beings.

If Jiang Mo can truly heal this kind of injury, then his abilities probably exceed everyone's imagination.

Just as Xia Liuqing was filled with doubt and surprise, a calm voice suddenly came from behind her: "Jiang Mo was right, you really did come."

The sound wasn't loud, but it was like a sharp sword, instantly severing the silence of the night and causing everyone to turn around abruptly.

Xia Liuqing turned around abruptly and saw a simply dressed girl standing not far away.

He held a shovel in his hand and looked at them expressionlessly.

The girl's eyes were empty yet sharp, giving off a strange sense of incongruity.

"Who are you?" Xia Liuqing asked warily, sensing a peculiar aura emanating from the girl.

This aura was neither like Qi nor any other kind of supernatural energy he knew, yet it instinctively made him feel a sense of danger.

“I am Feng Baobao,” the girl answered calmly, her voice devoid of any emotion. “Jiang Mo asked me to come here and wait for you.”

"Jiang Mo?" A hint of surprise flashed in Xia Liuqing's eyes, and her face turned slightly pale before she quickly regained her composure.

"It seems the rumors are true; he really does have some ability and can predict our actions in advance."

"However, sending a young girl like you to your death today is not a wise move on his part."

Feng Baobao tilted her head, seemingly unresponsive to Xia Liuqing's words: "I'm not here to die, I'm here to stop you."

"Jiang Mo said the moon is beautiful tonight and not suitable for fighting, but you insisted on coming, so I had no choice but to take action."

Xia Liuqing burst into laughter upon hearing this, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes: "Just you, a little girl? What a joke! Jiang Mo sent you? He's seriously underestimating me, Xia Liuqing!"

The Quanxing members behind him also laughed, their eyes full of disdain.

They are the elite of the entire society, how could they possibly take a little girl with a shovel seriously?

Before she finished speaking, Feng Baobao had already moved.

Her speed was astonishing; the shovel in her hand sliced ​​through the air with a sharp whistling sound, heading straight for Xia Liuqing's head.

The speed was so fast that it even distorted the air, leaving a faint afterimage.

"So fast!" Xia Liuqing exclaimed in surprise, quickly dodging to the side, her heart filled with shock.

This little girl's speed was so fast that he almost couldn't react. This is something that ordinary people can't do!

The shovel grazed past his ear and struck a large tree behind him.

With a loud "boom," the tree, as thick as a bowl, was snapped in half and collapsed, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Wow... such powerful strength!" Xia Liuqing's expression changed, and a look of shock flashed in her eyes.

"This little girl's power is even more terrifying than the legends!"

Feng Baobao put away the shovel and said calmly, "Jiang Mo said that you can't be given time to react."

"You are in danger and must leave immediately."

As she spoke, she raised the shovel again and charged towards Xia Liuqing.

This time, she was faster and stronger, the shovel drawing a silver arc in the moonlight, aiming straight for Xia Liuqing's vitals.

Xia Liuqing dared not be negligent this time. He quickly activated the Qi within his body, formed hand seals, and strands of gray-black aura swirled around his body, forming a defensive barrier.

"Black Fiend Five Elements Formation!" Xia Liuqing shouted, and a profound formation instantly appeared on the ground. Five-colored light intertwined to form a barrier, firmly protecting him within it.

The shovel slammed heavily onto the barrier, producing a deafening explosion.

The barrier trembled violently and several cracks appeared, but it did not shatter completely.
