Chapter 326: Change

Ye Mo saw the unfinished letter and sighed. No wonder Nie Shuangshuang said she was still a virgin; she saw the disgust in his eyes. She said that just to prove something.

No wonder, when he first saw her, she had that bleak and strange chi. It was her pet, a spirit-devouring pet. If her pet had just devoured a male soul and hadn't fully digested it, she would indeed have that strange chi. It seemed that what you see isn't always true. When he saw her pull open her skirt, it was just her releasing her pet to devour spirits.

There was actually such a thing that could change its form to blend into the environment and ascend by devouring human spirits. In the cultivation realm, it would be coveted by countless people, but on Earth, it was a disaster.

Ye Mo looked at the unconscious Nie Shuangshuang, his heart battling intensely over whether to save her life.

Never mind, he still had three lotus life pills anyway. Seeing that you risked your life to notify me about the Nine Moon sect, I'll feed you one. As for whether you live or die, that will depend on your luck.

Ye Mo took out a lotus life pill and put it in her mouth. The pill immediately melted and flowed into Nie Shuangshuang's body.

Afterward, Ye Mo didn't want to waste time. He got on his flying sword and flew towards Chun An like a comet. He knew that tonight, there would be a slaughter fest at Chun An.

When Ye Mo got back to Chun An, it was almost 10 p.m. He felt he was about to grasp something, but couldn't. It was Nie Shuangshuang's letter. There seemed to be some information he needed inside, but he couldn't find it.

Ye Mo returned to his living place. The building was still quite dead. Other than the elderly on the first and second floors, the third floor and above was dead silent.

Because he didn't see Luo Xuan, Ye Mo wanted to find her—for the golden paper. Now, he had the latter half of the Nie Luo Sutra, but the former half remained unfound.

But before looking for Luo Xuan, Ye Mo still needed to go to the Huo family. As he walked to his place, he purposely slowed down, but no one stopped him. According to Hong Si, they should be ambushing him at Chun An. Why weren't they?

When Ye Mo reached the Huo family, he immediately understood why. Huo Quming had left, and Huo Que was nowhere to be seen. Ye Mo scanned his spirit sense in the library; many books were carried away.

Although quite annoyed by Huo Quming, he wasn't angry enough to kill his family. Plus, although Huo Quming wanted to kill him, he hadn't done anything yet. Regardless of whether he acted on a tip-off, since he didn't attack, Ye Mo wouldn't waste time killing him. There wasn't much of a feud between them.

Huo Quming wasn't there, and he wasn't ambushed. Ye Mo immediately knew that news of him killing four Earth Levels must have leaked to those who were going to ambush him.

Ye Mo didn't care too much about those people running, but one of the He Liu sect elders, Elder You, ran away, and he wasn't happy about that. After all, this man was on his kill list. As long as it was the He Liu sect, he wanted to kill them.

But Ye Mo also knew it was very hard for those people not to know the news.

Ye Mo felt quite unsatisfied but could only let it go. He was prepared to meet Luo Xuan later and then go to the He Liu sect. He couldn't let the He Liu sect people retreat. He must eliminate the source of the trouble.

Ying Hua temple, although quite old and shattered, had a long history.

When Ye Mo reached the outskirts of the temple, he didn't find anyone with his spirit sense. He only smelled blood. He quickly walked in. There was no one inside, but blood was everywhere on the ground, and the area was considerable. The blood seemed quite fresh, meaning there had been a killing recently.

Did something happen to Luo Xuan? When Ye Mo thought about Luo Xuan, his first thought wasn't that she had the golden paper he needed, but when she patted her chest and said she wasn't afraid of ghosts, when she hung the peachwood sword outside his room in the middle of the night—then he thought about if she had the golden paper.

Ye Mo looked around carefully. Outside, there were messy footsteps. From the amount, it seemed there weren't many people here, only about four or five. Ye Mo confirmed again; it was four. If one pair was Luo Xuan's, then besides Luo Xuan, three other people also came here.

Ye Mo suddenly felt impetuous. If not for following Nie Shuangshuang, perhaps he would have come here before the incident.

Ye Mo circled around a few times outside and eventually saw the footprints of two more people. It seemed that besides the four, more people came.

But they came and left quickly. Ye Mo was sure there were no more marks.

He looked back disappointedly. It seemed he didn't have luck with that golden paper. Whether Luo Xuan was dead or alive would depend on her fortune.

Ye Mo went back to his place. The building was still dead and lifeless. Ye Mo walked in front of Luo Xuan's door and subconsciously reached in with his spirit sense. It was indeed empty. Luo Xuan wasn't back.

Then, he went back to his place. Ye Mo closed the door and habitually scanned the room with his spirit sense. Hmm, Luo Xuan was curled up around his bed, shaking like a lamb.

"Luo Xuan, what happened to you?" Ye Mo walked over and asked in surprise.

Luo Xuan, who usually wasn't afraid of ghosts, saw Ye Mo and could no longer hold in her cries. Ye Mo looked at Luo Xuan and saw she was injured, but not seriously, and it was getting better. It seemed she had eaten some pills.

"Stand up first and tell me what's wrong?" Ye Mo asked again.

Luo Xuan sniffed for a moment, stood up, and said, "I found the Nie Luo Sutra at Chun An University and waited for you until 8 p.m. You still hadn't come back, so I went to the Ying Hua temple. When I arrived, only my second martial sister, Luo Fei, was there. I talked with her for a while, and she said she wanted to see if big martial sister had returned, so she went out.

Ye Mo took out a bottle of water from his ring and gave it to Luo Xuan. Luo Xuan didn't notice where Ye Mo took it from and just took it and drank the water. Then, she continued, "After a while, my big martial sister came. I told her I found the Nie Luo Sutra and took out the two parts and showed her. She was very happy and excited. I asked her if she had seen second martial sister, and she said she hadn't.

I thought that second martial sister just went out; how could she not see? Just when I wanted to go see, I heard this cry of pain outside. It seemed to be my second martial sister's. I rushed out quickly, but my big martial sister was faster than me. As soon as she heard the sound, she charged out. But she immediately came back inside the temple; there was blood all over her chest. In that short moment, she was ambushed…"

Speaking until here, Luo Xuan cried again.

Ye Mo frowned. He felt this thing was strange. If someone was really going to ambush Luo Xuan, wouldn't it be the perfect time to strike when her second martial sister had already left and her big martial sister hadn't come yet?

"Then, I helped my big martial sister up. I wanted to help her stop the bleeding, but she couldn't hold on. She told me to go immediately. I said second martial sister wasn't back yet. Big martial sister just told me to go, immediately. I listened to her, but when I turned around to take away the Nie Luo Sutra I put on the side, I noticed that it was gone." Luo Xuan kept sniffing.

Ye Mo patted her shoulders and said, "Don't worry, keep talking."

"Mhm." Luo Xuan truly felt helpless now. Usually, it was her big martial sister deciding for her, but now, she felt very lost. Ye Mo's comfort calmed her a lot.

She nodded and continued, "I was shocked to see the Nie Luo Sutra disappear, and just when I wanted to turn around, someone hid behind me and palmed my back. I spat out blood, and it spilled on big martial sister's face. She suddenly woke up and yelled, pulling me to charge out from the back of Ying Hua temple. She was very fast, and I seemed to have heard a lot of noises from behind. Those people, for some reason, didn't keep chasing. Big martial sister took me and ran a few miles before falling unconscious to the ground.

I remembered that lotus life pill you gave me, and I gave it to my big martial sister. Then, I carried my big martial sister and ran in a different direction. After seven kilometers, when I couldn't run anymore, I put my big martial sister down."

Ye Mo nodded. Although from Luo Xuan's description, her big martial sister was heavily wounded, if she ate his lotus life pill, she should be fine. So, he asked again, "Since you came back, where is your big martial sister?"
