Master, I have been waiting for a long time.
Looking at the Li Mo kneeling before him, Xia Feng narrowed his eyes.
This matter is strange, and this Li Mo did not deceive him; he had truly been waiting for a long time.
From the moment Xia Feng entered, Li Mo showed no surprise, his eyes filled with a hint of joy, as if a long-lost acquaintance had finally arrived.
Xia Feng was certain that this was his first time meeting Li Mo. If it weren't for Lian Yueting's plea, he wouldn't even know who this Li Mo was, let alone anything about masters.
"Tell me why you waited for me. From your tone, I can tell this was premeditated," Xia Feng asked sharply, staring at the Li Mo before him.
"Master, I was ordered by the Holy Lord to await your arrival here. He told me that you would come to take my life in this manner. This is also why I have been abducting human women for years. I have not harmed a single female disciple of the Moon Lotus Sect; they are all within the Demon Tribe, living well. I provide them with cultivation resources."
"The moment Master appears is the moment they gain their freedom. Only by this method could Master personally arrive. These were all instructed by the Holy Lord. He said that this was all part of heavenly secrets, that cause and effect are inevitable."
Li Mo explained, clarifying the reasons and the cause behind his actions of abducting the female disciples of the Moon Lotus Sect.
These words sent shivers down Xia Feng's spine.
It was as if every step was orchestrated by that Holy Lord.
Did he know about his existence?
Could he predict that he would come to find Li Mo?
Who was this Holy Lord?
Countless thoughts flashed through Xia Feng's mind. This feeling of being manipulated was truly infuriating.
It was clear that this Holy Lord knew of his existence and was very familiar with him.
"Who is this Holy Lord you speak of?" Xia Feng's voice was somewhat cold.
Yes, Xia Feng was furious, more so than he had ever been. The aura of a Divine Emperor permeated the entire sacred land of the Demon Tribe, casting a pall over the sky, creating a scene of doomsday.
All the demon disciples prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling all over.
Li Mo remained kneeling, unfazed by Xia Feng's anger.
Anyone would be angry to be so manipulated, let alone Xia Feng, a Divine Emperor. Who wouldn't have a temper?
Li Mo could not answer Xia Feng's question, only explaining in a respectful tone, "He was clad in black robes, and I was not qualified to know who he was. He was so powerful that I felt like a mere drop in the ocean."
Li Mo answered truthfully, and Xia Feng's frown deepened.
Since arriving in the God Realm, he had always felt a sense of familiarity. As time passed, Xia Feng became increasingly suspicious of his own identity.
Could he truly have reincarnated on Earth?
But why?
It felt like a mist shrouded everything, causing an unbearable annoyance, yet he had no way to break through it.
"Someone from the Sacred Realm?" Xia Feng ventured.
Li Mo's consistent mention of a "Holy Lord" and the other party's power, which made the peak Divine Venerable Li Mo feel like a drop in the ocean, proved that this "Holy Lord" possessed at least Divine Emperor level strength.
"Yes," Li Mo admitted directly.
Xia Feng: (⊙o⊙)…
Xia Feng was somewhat surprised. So, the Sacred Realm truly existed. Zhang Sanfeng had mentioned it, saying he had only read about it in ancient texts, and Xia Feng himself had also seen it in ancient texts.
Now that he had Li Mo's confirmation, his feelings were rather mixed.
He had been diligently searching for news of the Sacred Realm and the Heavenly Dao, feeling as though he was very close to them, with an urge to explore.
Suddenly, Li Mo mentioned someone from the Sacred Realm, and Xia Feng felt a pang of unease.
The Sacred Realm did indeed exist, at least according to Li Mo's confirmation.
Although Xia Feng was taken aback, he did not show it and continued to inquire, "What did the Holy Lord you mentioned want you to do by waiting for me?"
Xia Feng was now desperate to know if this Holy Lord was an enemy or a friend, in what capacity he appeared, and who he truly was.
From the current situation, the possibility of him being a friend was higher. After all, who would give someone a peak Divine Venerable as a subordinate for no reason?
Moreover, Li Mo must have his own mission in coming to his side, which was why Xia Feng was so curious.
"Master, this is what the Holy Lord wants me to give you." Suddenly, a jade slip appeared in the Holy Lord's hand.
Xia Feng reached out and took it. With a press on the top of the jade slip, eight characters suddenly floated in the air: "Great harmony arrives, the Heavenly Dao returns."
Xia Feng did not understand the meaning of these eight characters. They mentioned the Heavenly Dao, so perhaps they were related to it.
Xia Feng stared at the eight characters floating from the jade slip, lost in thought.
After a long while...
Xia Feng put away the jade slip and said to Li Mo, "Tell me everything you know, word for word."
"Yes..."
"Wait..."
As Li Mo was about to speak, Xia Feng interrupted him, taking the initiative to say, "Since you are my subordinate, clear your mind."
As soon as Xia Feng finished speaking, he summoned the Fuxi Qin.
Being a nominal subordinate and a sworn subordinate were two entirely different matters.
If Li Mo became his sworn subordinate, he would be unable to deceive him, and Xia Feng would be able to know everything Li Mo knew.
Li Mo did not hesitate at all, directly offering his divine soul for the Fuxi Qin to extract.
The process of becoming a sworn subordinate was quick. Li Mo was now completely bound to Xia Feng as his master. He bowed again and said, "Master."
"Speak," Xia Feng instructed.
"Yes, Master," Li Mo replied and began to speak slowly.
"When I was still an Ancient God, the Holy Lord found me and said I was a 'Body of Heavenly Destruction' and would be useful to Master in the future. So, he helped me cultivate all the way to the peak of Divine Venerable, instructing me to abduct human disciples. He used this method to facilitate my meeting with Master. From what I can see, all the plans are proceeding according to the Holy Lord's direction."
Hearing this, Xia Feng felt more disgusted than if he had eaten a fly. He felt as if he were being remotely controlled.
This feeling was extremely unpleasant.
"Master, the Holy Lord wants me to tell you that you are not being monitored. When you recover your strength, you will understand everything." Li Mo seemed to know Xia Feng's thoughts and quickly reassured him.
Xia Feng: ...
The more Li Mo spoke, the more Xia Feng felt he was being monitored.
As for the mention of recovering strength, what did that mean?
He had this feeling when he first arrived in the God Realm. Back then, it wasn't a breakthrough, but more like recovering his strength.
Hearing Li Mo say this now, Xia Feng could confirm that he was indeed recovering his strength.
Seeing Li Mo today, Xia Feng could confirm three things:
First: The Sacred Realm truly exists.
Second: His identity is confirmed; he is a reincarnation.
As for who he reincarnated from and why, these remain to be verified.
Third: Someone has been monitoring him all along his journey.
Xia Feng now suspected that the small world was placed on Earth by the Holy Lord, with him as the target.
