First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 283: Promotion Before the Battle (Seeking Subscriptions)

Seeing that the Tian family's formation was not weak but flourishing, Shen Mo understood the intentions of the Tian family.

"No tears until you see the coffin!"

Shen Mo snorted coldly and urged the Big Dipper Seven Star Sword Formation to press forward.

The sword formation collided with the defensive formation with a loud boom!

Brilliant sword light illuminated the entire city.

Runes circulated on the defensive barrier, constantly vanishing and reemerging.

These two forces.

One relied on the terrain of the mansion, continuously supplemented and carefully constructed over hundreds of years, forming a defensive formation.

It was enough to withstand a full-force attack from a Spirit Sea Realm Fifth Heaven expert.

The other was the sharp sword formation known for its killing power. Shen Mo had cultivated for a long time and had invested a large amount of resources into it.

With the Divine Ability "Sword Body" bestowed upon him.

He even had confidence that he could contend with an early-stage Spirit Sea Realm expert using the sword formation!

The momentum of the two sides confronting each other was extremely astonishing.

Many ordinary people were shocked and climbed to high places to look, fearing that some formidable monster had entered the city!

The cultivators who were paying attention to the situation here also couldn't help but change their expressions.

"Master Shen... Has the Tian family completely torn their face with you?"

"Isn't that obvious? They surrounded us earlier without attacking, but Fellow Daoist Tian used his spiritual sword to injure him. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to endure it either!"

"Even if he can't endure it, he still has to endure it. Could it be that he's not afraid of the Tian family's Spirit Sea Realm experts?"

"Don't forget that he also comes from the Linjiang Sect. With such strength at such a young age, there must be powerful support behind him."

"Oh, that's true!"

"..."

Contrary to the expectations of the cultivators in the city, Shen Mo could only rely on himself at the moment.

Although there were Spirit Sea Realm experts stationed at the headquarters of the Garrison Bureau in the Central State Imperial City, Shen Mo couldn't ask for reinforcements.

The reason was simple. Hongye City was located within the Qingzhou Territory.

Even the position of the Garrison Bureau's Chief was appointed by the Linjiang Sect's Immortal Affairs Hall, so naturally, they didn't want the other four major sects to interfere at will.

Once reinforcements were requested from the headquarters, it would naturally be a credit to Shen Mo.

The other four major sects could also take advantage of the situation and extend their influence to the heartland of Qingzhou.

In this way, Shen Mo's contribution would be greater than his merits in the eyes of the Linjiang Sect.

The high-level members of the Linjiang Sect, such as Zhou Shili, Elder Huang, and even the Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, would not personally stand up for him.

Only when the Tian family's Spirit Sea Realm experts made a heavy move, even to the point of killing him, would they possibly step forward to seek "justice" for Shen Mo!

This was equivalent to silently intimidating the Tian family's Spirit Sea Realm experts, preventing them from going too far.

As for everything else, it was up to Shen Mo himself.

Of course, he had his own plans.

"The Chief of the Immortal Affairs Hall, Tian Zhaquan, won't personally come for a mere seventy thousand low-grade spirit stones."

"If that's the case, then I'll accept it!"

"Such a character can only be dealt with by the Peak Master and the Chief of the Law Enforcement Hall. I don't need to confront them head-on."

"And that Tian clan core member, competing with the other eight people, the chance of him coming to stir up trouble is not high."

"If he doesn't cherish his feathers and insists on meddling, even if I can't defeat him, I can still protect myself."

"But the Flowing Shadow Spirit Sword, they can forget about getting it back."

Shen Mo sat cross-legged at the entrance of the Tian family's mansion, silently pondering in his heart.

Just as Tian Hong knew him well, Shen Mo was not ignorant of the Tian Clan Immortal Clan either.

He had also long investigated the Spirit Sea Realm experts of the Golden Toad Tower and the Doujin Sect.

"The most likely one is Elder Tian Qisheng of the Mingyue Peak."

"He is at the Spirit Sea Realm Second Heaven..."

"It's not easy to defeat him!"

Originally, in Shen Mo's plan, he wouldn't make a move against the Tian Clan for the time being.

He would gradually force the Tian Clan to relinquish their control over the town's defense responsibilities once he reached the Late Qi Gathering stage after cultivating to the 7th level of the Qi Gathering stage.

However, plans couldn't keep up with changes.

Tian Hong might have guessed that he was the one causing the strange signs in the sword technique.

Therefore, he couldn't wait any longer and started to take action, letting the Heavenly Demon enter the city, intending to frame him.

Shen Mo couldn't just sit and wait for death. He had to quickly regain his rightful responsibilities.

The means used would inevitably be a bit violent.

Blocking the Tian Clan's door and collecting debts was only one aspect.

The other aspect was to demonstrate to the various forces in the city, so that Chen Mengze could smoothly take over the responsibility of defending the city with the disciples of the Defense Department.

"Things are going relatively smoothly with Senior Sister Chen. No one dares to resist recklessly relying on the support of the Tian Clan."

Shen Mo took out a sound transmission talisman and glanced at it.

Even the Tian Clan was blocked by Shen Mo, so how could other small clan cultivators dare to clash with the Defense Department?

The cultivators at the Body Tempering and Qi Gathering stages who were defending the city had all been captured.

They were temporarily detained in the Defense Department.

The four-sided bone mirror hanging on the city wall had also been carefully inspected.

Currently, Chen Mengze had not discovered any clues.

It was very likely that he had immediately made up for this oversight after letting the mutated Heavenly Demon enter the city.

The specific situation could only be known after interrogating the cultivators who were defending the city.

Chen Mengze had already started to handle these matters!

What Shen Mo had to do was to withstand the pressure from the Tian Clan at the Spirit Sea stage and demand the materials owed by the Tian Clan.

If things didn't go smoothly, all his previous efforts would be in vain.

For the time being, Shen Mo shouldn't think about regaining the authority of the Defense Department and should focus on cultivating.

Just dealing with the mutated Heavenly Demons that entered the city was already giving him a headache.

In addition, without any income for the Defense Department, they naturally couldn't retain people, and everything would return to how it was before.

Fortunately, there were two sides to everything!

The sword technique was extraordinary.

While it brought him trouble, it also gave him the Divine Ability of "Sword Body".

Originally, he had to reach the 7th level of the Qi Gathering stage before he could compete with the Spirit Sea stage, but now this gap had been greatly reduced.

"I've stayed at this small realm of the 5th level for quite some time."

"The foundation is stable! It's enough to support my promotion to the 6th level of the Qi Gathering stage."

Thinking like this, Shen Mo took out a jade box from his Qiankun Bag.

Inside was a fourth-grade Dragon-Tiger Indivisible Pill!

While maintaining the Big Dipper Seven Star Sword Formation and wearing down the Tian Clan's defensive formation.

Shen Mo swallowed a fourth-grade spiritual pill and continuously circulated his cultivation technique, turning the immense medicinal power into his Purple Mansion Spiritual Energy.

For a while, the spiritual energy of the surrounding fifty miles began to surge.

The cultivators who saw this were all astonished.

"Is Chief Shen trying to break through a small realm right here at the Tian Clan's doorstep? Aren't you afraid of being ambushed?"

"Who in Chen's Mansion can threaten him now? Didn't you see that even Tian Hong, that ordinary man, was blocked and detained by him when he attacked with his spiritual sword?"

"He has courage and determination!"

"But why is he in such a hurry to advance now? Wouldn't it be better to handle the current affairs first and then go into seclusion at his residence?"

"..."

Inside the Tian Clan's mansion, Tian Hong naturally noticed Shen Mo's actions.

He sneered, his face cold, and sarcastically said, "So what if you break through? A mere 6th level of the Qi Gathering stage, can you still contend against the 2nd level of the Spirit Sea stage?"

"Buzz!"

The wind surged and clouds billowed in Hongye City, and a large amount of spiritual energy formed a funnel shape, continuously pouring towards Shen Mo's body.

Even the Spirit Gathering Formation in the Tian Clan's mansion couldn't compete with him.

I haven't been feeling well these past two days, so I'll release two chapters first. (End of this chapter)
