Chapter 9: Leaked Information

"Brother Lin Mo, you're really great."

Li Mengxue laughed, two small dimples surfaced on her snow-like cheeks, adorable and touching.

Lin Mo sat down opposite her and teased, "Now, are you still afraid that you won't be able to rank in the top fifty in my clan meeting?"

"Hee hee, not afraid anymore, you're still my most powerful brother Lin Mo."

Li Mengxue laughed sweetly.

After the two of them happily ate their meal, Lin Mo took Li Meng Xue to the marketplace again.

By the way, he used the two thousand gold coins that he had 'borrowed' to buy back two more fifth rank beast souls.

It was only after returning to the Li family that the two of them parted ways.

Lin Mo greeted Auntie Nuo before returning to his room.

After locking the doors and windows, he immediately summoned the Ying Long Martial Spirit.

Letting it devour the two beast souls it had just bought back.

A moment later, four white lights emanated from that white dragon.

The Martial Spirit reached the fourth rank of the Human Stage.

Only upgrading to the fourth grade of the human rank made Lin Mo a little depressed.

Last time, with only one fifth rank beast soul and ten first rank beast souls, he had risen two levels in a row.

Now with two fifth rank beast souls, it was surprising that they had only been upgraded by one rank.

"It seems that the higher the rank of this Martial Spirit too, the more beast souls it requires." Lin Mo sighed inwardly.

However, this Martial Spirit upgrade made Lin Mo feel that his body was undergoing subtle changes.

That feeling was that the physical body would then have to be even stronger in general.

"Father said that I am the body of an answering dragon, and that this is my innate dragon soul, doesn't that mean that there will be a day when I will transform into a dragon and soar above the nine heavens?"

"Since I am a dragon, then my father must be as well, back then, he was seriously injured and brought me here, and in the end, he also died due to the recurrence of his old injuries. Just what kind of existence could have injured him?"

Thinking of Lin Xiaoran, Lin Mo took out that White Dragon Jade Pendant again.

That day, it was this jade pendant that had awakened his dragon soul.

Lin Mo tried dripping his own blood onto the jade pendant again, but this time the White Dragon Jade Pendant merely emitted a faint ray of white light.

There was no substantial change.

However, Lin Mo could vaguely sense that there seemed to be an invisible film of light on top of this White Dragon Jade Pendant, blocking off its White Dragon.

As for how to open this film of light, Lin Mo was clueless.

"Perhaps it can only be unlocked when one's cultivation level is high."

Putting away the jade pendant, Lin Mo began to cultivate.

Now that his Ying Long Martial Spirit, had reached the fourth grade of the Human Stage, it allowed him to increase his cultivation speed by several times as well.

One could only see strands of golden Heavenly Dragon Yuan Power, being refined out by the Martial Spirit, then travelling around in Lin Mo's meridians before eventually returning to the Dantian Qi Sea.

This cultivation of his lasted for three days.

Knock knock knock!

At noon on the third day, there was suddenly a sharp knock on the door.

"Brother Lin Mo, open the door." Outside the door, Li Mengxue said anxiously.

Lin Mo frowned slightly and quickly opened the door to his room.

"Meng Xue, what happened?" Lin Mo asked.

"The last time you were fooling the City Lord in the council chamber, I don't know who leaked it out, but the City Lord was very angry after he realised that he had been tricked, and this morning he came over aggressively to ask for punishment."

"Although the head of the family is trying to protect you, the family does not want to make an enemy of the City Lord's House ...... so Auntie Nuo and Wang Li's marriage, it was fixed."

Li Mengxue said.

"What?"

Hearing this, Lin Mo's eyes flashed with a flash of anger.

Behind the City Lord's Mansion was the Norse Xuan Li Dynasty, whose strength was naturally the strongest in Tian Lan City.

Before, they had even proposed marriage with good intentions, but this time, they had even forced the marriage forcefully.

"I heard ...... that Wang Li even let slip that he wants to teach you a hard lesson." Li Mengxue whispered.

"Hmph, teach me a lesson? There's still a score to settle with them." Lin Mo's face sank, his fists clenched, and he coldly snorted.

"Brother Lin Mo, don't be impulsive."

Seeing Lin Mo like this, Li Mengxue said urgently.

Lin Mo nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't act rashly without enough strength."

Seeing him say this, Li Mengxue was relieved and said, "Our family's strength isn't weak, if the family head is really tough, he won't be afraid of the City Lord's Office much."

"But we need to give him enough reasons to do so, if you can win first place in the Clan Meeting Competition and then bring up this marriage dissolution thing, there might be a slight turnaround."

Lin Mo said, "Well, right, is the time set for the marriage?"

"It's set, one month later, just in time for Qingxuan Sect and Cang Jian Sect to come to Tian Lan City to select disciples, I heard that the city lord wants Wang Li to leave for Cang Jian Sect to cultivate after the marriage."

"Good I know." Lin Mo said.

After Li Mengxue left, Lin Mo started packing his travelling clothes.

Facing so much pressure from the City Lord's Mansion, he had to quickly raise his strength.

To the north of Tian Lan City, there was a Northern Pylae Mountain Range, which had countless demonic beasts in it.
