Chapter 80: The Identity of Supreme Mo
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After frowning and thinking for a long time, Lin Ran still had no clue. He felt that the restriction should be the only explanation.
Lin Ran looked at Huo Qiyun. “Could it be that you’re too weak so you can’t find the restriction?”
Huo Qiyun looked displeased when he heard this, but he realized that Lin Ran was serious about it. He spread his hands and said, “Maybe. There are two more. Why don’t you check them yourself?”
Looking at the two figures covered in blood in the corner, Lin Ran really didn’t want to get close, but he had no choice but to walk over.
Lin Ran hesitated for a moment and finally decided to start with Zhou Zhiqing. The two of them were both covered in blood, so it was naturally better to start with the young girl.
However, before Lin Ran could touch Zhou Zhiqing, there was a light knock on the door.
Lin Ran and Huo Qiyun looked at each other and had no choice but to put off the examination for the time being. They turned around and went to the front hall.
Huo Qiyun was about to open the door when Lin Ran reminded him, “Let’s see who it is first. Your Empress Sister said that she would come over. This place is so terrifying. If she comes, tell her to go back.”
“Got it.”
Huo Qiyun agreed and looked out through the crack in the door. Then, he turned around and looked at Lin Ran with a strange expression.
Seeing this, Lin Ran couldn’t help but feel a little anxious. “Why are you looking at me? Tell me who’s outside!”
“The person outside…”
Huo Qiyun hesitated for a moment before saying in an extremely strange tone, “It seems to be you.”
Lin Ran was stunned. Huo Qiyun said, “No, more precisely, it is you.”
“What do you mean it’s me? What the hell are you talking about?”
When Lin Ran heard this, he felt a headache coming on. He had no choice but to go forward and check it out himself. However, when he saw who it was outside, his mind was blown away. The person standing outside the door was none other than himself!
“What the f*ck? Why is everything strange happening on the same day?”
Lin Ran rubbed his eyes and looked again. He realized that the person outside was indeed him dressed as the commander of the imperial guards.
Huo Qiyun asked softly, “What’s going on? Why did anyone even bother to impersonate you?”
“Impersonate?”
Lin Ran suddenly thought of something and asked softly through the door, “Your Majesty? Is that you?”
“Lin Ran”, who was outside the door, nodded. “It’s me! Open the door!”
Hearing the empress’s voice, the two people in the room looked at each other and did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Lin Ran was impersonating the Ten Miles Sword God, and the empress was impersonating Lin Ran. Huo Qiyun, who was still his original identity, inexplicably felt isolated…
After a moment of silence, Huo Qiyun leaned close to the door and whispered, “Empress Sister! The scene here is a little… not good. Why don’t you go back first?”
When the empress heard this, her expression darkened. “Nonsense! I’m just here to see what’s going on. How can I leave just like that?”
Lin Ran also advised, “You should listen to Huo. The scene here is really not suitable for you to see!”
“I ascended the throne at the age of 19. I’ve been through a lot and seen a lot. What’s there to be afraid of?”
The empress asked coldly, clearly displeased.
Lin Ran and Huo Qiyun looked at each other. Huo Qiyun said in a low voice, “Let’s open the door. Otherwise, with Empress Sister’s temper, she’ll probably barge in.”
Lin Ran nodded helplessly. The two of them told the empress to get ready before slowly opening the door a crack.
The empress’s expression immediately changed when she saw the terrifying scene in Mingzhao Hall through the crack in the door.
However, the empress was brave. After a moment, she calmed herself down and asked softly with a frown, “Why did Mingzhao Hall become like this? What did you do?”
Seeing that the empress was not scared away, Lin Ran opened the door and invited her in. Then, in a few words, he roughly explained what had happened.
The empress pondered for a moment. “In that case, there might indeed be some kind of restriction… What’s the result of your examination?”
“I was just about to do it when you came.”
Lin Ran shrugged helplessly and gestured to the back hall. “If you’re not afraid, why don’t you come and take a look?”
The empress raised her head slightly. “Lead the way!”
When the three of them returned to the back hall, Lin Ran placed his hand on Zhou Zhiqing’s shoulder. After some investigation, he realized that just as Huo Qiyun had said, there were no traces of restrictions in her body.
After shaking his head to indicate that he didn’t find anything, Lin Ran placed his hand on the other person’s shoulder. He didn’t have much hope at first, but as soon as his divine sense was released, he immediately felt a familiar power!
It was not sword intent or internal energy. This power was cold and cruel. It hid in the man’s body like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity in the shadows.
At the same time, this power was extremely subtle. If Lin Ran wasn’t a Half-Saint, he probably wouldn’t have noticed it.
“There’s something in him!”
As Lin Ran spoke, he released more divine sense. At the same time, the feeling that he had seen this force somewhere before surged in his heart.
Upon hearing that, the empress immediately asked, “What is it? Is it a restriction?”
Lin Ran shook his head and raised his hand to signal her not to speak. As his divine sense gradually entered deeper into the person’s body, the familiar feeling became stronger.
After recalling carefully for a moment, Lin Ran’s expression changed drastically. “I remember now! I’ve seen this power before!”
The empress’s expression froze. “Could it be that you’ve seen Supreme Mo before? Where did you see him?”
“The nameless cave at the peak of Mount Sword.”
Lin Ran felt a chill run down his spine!
This cold and evil aura was exactly the same as the evil aura in the cave where the Sword God was buried. The so-called “Supreme Mo” was probably the demon who killed the Sword God and broke out of the seal!
When Lin Ran discovered that the demon had escaped, he had been planning to track him down. However, he couldn’t find any clues of his whereabouts, so he could only put it off for the time being and deal with something else first.
Now that Lin Ran knew Supreme Mo was the demon, he needed to plan how to deal with him carefully.
Lin Ran didn’t know why Liu Yuntao had something to do with the demon, but he couldn’t let the empress know about this. If possible, it was best if no one else knew about it.
After all, this was no small matter. If the news spread to the world, it would probably cause greater unrest than a war!
