"It seems Feng Baobao has solved most of my troubles. Thank you so much."

Upon hearing this, Feng Baobao smiled, a smile that was pure and innocent.

This is in stark contrast to the terrifying strength she just displayed.

Then she calmly walked to Jiang Mo's side, hoisted the shovel onto her shoulder, and stood obediently to the side, just like an ordinary little girl.

Zhang Chulan gasped in shock at the sight before him.

More than a dozen Quanxing members lay sprawled on the ground, some groaning, others unconscious.

And the one who started it all was actually Bao'er!

A storm raged within him; he found it unbelievable.

"Is Sister Bao'er really that amazing?" Zhang Chulan asked incredulously, his eyes wide open.

"I always thought she was just a bit strong, but I never expected..."

He suddenly recalled all the little moments he had spent with Feng Baobao.

Those seemingly unintentional actions, those peculiar reactions—everything seems to have an answer now.

Feng Baobao is far more mysterious than he imagined.

“Baby has always been amazing,” Jiang Mo smiled slightly, “You just haven’t seen it yet.”

"She has many secrets waiting to be discovered."

These words stirred something in Zhang Chulan's heart, reminding him of one of the purposes of their trip—to help Feng Baobao regain her memories.

It seems this task is more complicated than he imagined.

Xia Liuqing stood there, caught in a dilemma.

He originally intended to sneak into Longhu Mountain and take the opportunity to steal the Celestial Master's Mandate.

Unexpectedly, not only was Feng Baobao stopped, but even Jiang Mo and the Old Master appeared.

"The Third Elder will blame me..." Xia Liuqing thought bitterly.

"That old fox Tu Junfang will definitely pin all the blame on me..."

"Jiang Mo, we were just passing by today and meant no harm..."

Xia Liuqing forced herself to remain calm and tried to make up an excuse to escape.

His forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat, and his hands were trembling slightly, clearly indicating extreme nervousness.

"It seems that, at this point, we have no choice but to use the Godhood Mask!"

Xia Liuqing gritted her teeth and made a decision, secretly mobilizing the Qi within her body to prepare to activate the divine mask on her back.

This is his biggest trump card, and his only hope.

"Let's be frank, you've come to steal the Celestial Master's Seal." Jiang Mo's voice was calm, but it sent a chill down Xia Liuqing's spine.

"How could he know? This is a top-secret mission; very few people even within the Quanxing sect know about it!"

A storm raged within Xia Liuqing's heart. "Could there be a traitor among us? Or does he possess the ability to read minds?"

However, Jiang Mo didn't give him a chance to finish speaking. Jiang Mo simply raised his hand and waved it away.

Dozens of tiny black insects flew out from his sleeve.

It instantly enveloped Xia Liuqing and the remaining members of the Quanxing Sect.

"This is a Gu poison!" Alarm bells rang in Xia Liuqing's mind.

Those legendary, terrifying beings capable of manipulating minds and taking lives are now displaying their power right before his eyes.

"Ah! What is this?"

"It itches! It hurts!"

"Help! Help me!"

The crowd screamed in terror and desperately tried to swat the insects off their bodies.

But they discovered that the insects had burrowed into their skin and disappeared.

Fear surged through them like a tidal wave, nearly driving them to the brink of collapse.

The next moment, everyone froze in place, unable to move even their fingers.

Xia Liuqing was no exception; he felt a strange power flowing through his body, imprisoning every inch of his muscles.

"God Mask! Activate God Mask now!" Xia Liuqing shouted frantically in her heart, trying to mobilize her last bit of power to activate the God Mask hidden on her back.

But he soon discovered in despair that even that powerful artifact was useless against Jiang Mo's Gu techniques.

"Is this the legendary Gu?" the old master murmured in amazement, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes. "Truly powerful."

Although the old master had long heard of how powerful Jiang Mo's Gu techniques were, he was still deeply shocked after witnessing it with his own eyes.

He was even somewhat relieved that Jiang Mo was on their side; if this power had been used by the Quanxing Sect, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Young Master Jiang's abilities are truly admirable," the old Celestial Master thought to himself. "No wonder even the Four Madmen of the Quanxing Sect fell to him."

Jiang Mo ignored the old master's praise and walked slowly to Xia Liuqing, his eyes filled with an unfathomable mystery.

"Elder Xia, I gave you a chance, I had Feng Baobao tell you to leave, but you wouldn't listen."

Jiang Mo's voice wasn't loud, but it sent a chill down Xia Liuqing's spine.

Beneath that calm tone lay an irresistible pressure.

"I'm finished..." Xia Liuqing thought despairingly. "Tu Junfang, the divine mask, the mission—none of it matters anymore..."

"Jiang Mo, what... what do you want to do?" Xia Liuqing managed to squeeze out a few words, her eyes filled with fear.

He felt as if Jiang Mo's gaze could see through his soul, leaving him nowhere to hide.

"I didn't want to kill you, but you insisted on coming to your death."

Jiang Mo said calmly, "I'm curious, what is your true purpose in coming to Longhu Mountain? Is it the Celestial Master's Ordination, or the Origin Source Stream?"

When Jiang Mo mentioned "Wuyuan Body Flow", Xia Liuqing's pupils suddenly contracted.

His face grew even paler.

My whole body felt as if it had fallen into an ice cave, the chill penetrating to the bone.

"The Origin Flow? This is the Quanxing Sect's top secret! A secret even most elders don't know! How could he know?"

Xia Liuqing was thinking frantically in her mind, while feeling an unprecedented fear.

"Who exactly is Jiang Mo? Is he more than just a Gu Master?"

He knows too much, unbelievably much...

"You...how do you know this? This is top secret of the entire sect!"

Xia Liuqing blurted it out without thinking, then immediately regretted it. His question was tantamount to admitting Jiang Mo's guess.

Jiang Mo didn't answer, but continued to ask, "Who sent you? Tu Junfang? Or someone else?"

Xia Liuqing gritted her teeth and refused to answer.

Despite his fear, as an elder of the Quanxing Sect, he still had his own bottom line.

Betraying the entire sect means death, and the most painful death at that.

"Tu Junfang sent me, but I will never tell you any more!"

Xia Liuqing made a silent decision in her heart, "Even if I die, I will not betray the Quanxing Sect!"

Seeing Xia Liuqing's expression, Jiang Mo smiled slightly, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.

He had already seen through Xia Liuqing's thoughts, and her futile struggle seemed somewhat ridiculous to him.

"You don't want to talk about it? Then I'll just have to find the answer myself."

As he spoke, Jiang Mo raised his hand and gently touched Xia Liuqing's brow.

A tiny black worm slid from his fingertip and burrowed into Xia Liuqing's skin.

"No!" Xia Liuqing screamed frantically in her heart, but her body was unable to move, and she could only watch helplessly as the Gu worm burrowed into her brow.
