Chapter 847: Showdown

As the voice echoed through the scene, everyone fell silent, showing deep respect. In the Heavenly Obscure Valley, Shadowblade's status was on par with the Valley Master, Sun Zhengyue.

Moreover, he belonged to the same circle as Lord Shengda, and essentially, even Sun Zhengyue wouldn't dare to cross him.

"Uh, my stomach isn't feeling well. I need to use the restroom," Lin Mo quickly interjected, attempting to find an excuse to leave.

Hearing this, Sun Zhengyue immediately said, "Young Lord Leng, it's not advisable to go alone. That old man is cunning and devious, hiding in who knows what corner. You shouldn't go alone. If there's something real, I'll go with you."

"No need," Lin Mo replied, hastening his pace as he moved away. "It's unnecessary."

"Are you the so-called 'fated one'?" Suddenly, Shadowblade's voice rang out, laced with suspicion. He hadn't received any instructions from Lord Shengda, so he was skeptical about the presence of a 'fated one.' The magnitude of this matter was such that Lord Shengda couldn't have kept it from him, so he had been skeptical from the start.

Lin Mo nodded slightly and shouted, "I'm not sure, they just told me that."

As he spoke, Lin Mo clutched his stomach and quickly departed. Sun Zhengyue had originally intended to follow but hesitated upon hearing Shadowblade's words, which seemed odd.

"Nonsense, Lord Shengda never mentioned anything about a 'fated one,'" Shadowblade immediately exclaimed. "Valley Master, this person must be an imposter."

"What!" Upon hearing this, Sun Zhengyue and the others were stunned, and then they all cried out in shock.

"I remember now, it's you!" Suddenly, Shadowblade slapped his head and exclaimed, "He's a disciple of the Azure Dragon Ancient Courtyard. The last time we tried to steal the Azure Dragon's secret scriptures, this guy interfered and prevented us from succeeding. Now he dares to come to our Heavenly Obscure Valley? He's truly seeking death!"

Shadowblade's words shocked everyone. If the 'fated one' was indeed a fake, it was mostly Sun Chao's fault. However, if the person was from the Azure Dragon Ancient Courtyard, there was no way they could let him go.

Boom!

At this moment, Lin Mo had already activated his cultivation and soared into the sky, trying to escape. Shadowblade, Sun Zhengyue, and the other experts from the valley naturally wouldn't allow him to leave. They chased after him with their own cultivation.

Lin Mo had only reached the skies above the Heavenly Obscure Valley's streets when he was completely surrounded.

"Alright, I won't pretend anymore. Let's lay our cards on the table," Lin Mo said, somewhat resigned. He didn't want to engage in battle right now; he needed to delay time for the mysterious old man to recover his strength.

"I am a disciple of the Azure Dragon Ancient Courtyard, and furthermore, I'm the weakest one."

Lin Mo continued, "But unfortunately, I couldn't stand it any longer at the Azure Dragon Ancient Courtyard because I was too weak and constantly bullied."

"Only here in your Heavenly Obscure Valley could I find some semblance of superiority."

Down on the street, many people had already noticed what was happening, and when they heard that Lin Mo was from the Azure Dragon Ancient Courtyard, their surprise turned into anger.

Especially when Lin Mo mentioned finding superiority here, it made them even angrier. Wasn't he looking down on them?

"Valley Master, why don't we let the younger generation deal with him and show him the might of our Heavenly Obscure Valley?" someone suggested.

However, Shadowblade shook his head and said, "He can't be the weakest disciple of the Azure Dragon Ancient Courtyard. He's trying to deceive us. This kid is cunning, and he might have other tricks up his sleeve. Let's capture him first, and then we'll see."

Saying this, Shadowblade was about to rush forward, but Sun Zhengyue stopped him, saying, "Let the younger generation have a chance. Besides, with both of us here, are you afraid he'll escape?"

Shadowblade frowned slightly but didn't say much.

"Is Shadowblade afraid that I'll outshine the young talents of the Heavenly Obscure Valley?" Lin Mo suddenly sneered. "Well, considering your juniors, it's no surprise that you're worried about them."

"Rubbish!"

"Who do you think you are? Just because you've taken a flag doesn't mean you're better than anyone else? It's ridiculous!"

"That's right, if it weren't for the infighting among the young masters, do you think you would have had a chance to take the flag?"

...

Hearing Lin Mo's disparaging remarks, the crowd below erupted in anger.

Lin Mo smiled, knowing that he had achieved his desired effect. As long as these old folks didn't take action, he could successfully delay time.

So, he casually took out the flag he had snatched earlier and suspended it in the sky, taunting, "I'm indeed the weakest disciple of the Azure Dragon Ancient Courtyard. But even so, I'm not afraid to face the young talents of the Heavenly Obscure Valley. If you think you can, come up and challenge me. If you're too scared, go back to your parents' arms."

"Father, let me deal with him!" Sun Chao said sternly, not waiting for Sun Zhengyue's approval before he shot forward.

All this mockery had started because of him, and if he couldn't handle it, he would have no face left in the Heavenly Obscure Valley.

"Valley Master, may I deal with him?" Sun Chao asked, full of determination.

Sun Zhengyue snorted, "You'd better use your brain more in the future and stop causing such trouble."

The crowd below watched the scene, and when they heard that Lin Mo was a disciple of the Azure Dragon Ancient Courtyard, they were initially shocked and then filled with extreme anger. Especially when Lin Mo mentioned finding superiority here, it made them even angrier. Wasn't he looking down on them?
