The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 2893 The Source of Fear

Chen Mo naturally didn't know that someone was waiting for him to return, but he could foresee that if he delayed for too long, Ouyang Ruoxi and others would be worried, which would not be good.

Therefore, he was also speeding up the things at hand, dealing with them, and then returning as soon as possible so as not to let them wait too long.

He patted Zhou Zixing's shoulders, but the shoulders of this second-level innate master suddenly trembled, as if he was very afraid of him.

Is this Lao Deng really that scary? He no longer has the intention to kill Lao Deng, and his face does not show any other thoughts. Why is he still afraid and worried? Is there no trust between people?

Looking at Lao Deng's trembling body, Chen Mo did not make any extra moves, but said to him: "Don't worry, Lao Deng, I don't want to kill you now."

Zhou Zixing didn't know why, but he felt an inexplicable fear in his heart when facing Chen Mo, and his body was shaking uncontrollably. In fact, he already despised himself a little. After all, he was a second-level innate warrior. Before Chen Mo, he was fearless. He was only worried about his own end, and there was nothing else to fear.

In fact, these fears all come from the unknown. If Chen Mo used regular means to kill those white doughs, Zhou Zixing would not be afraid, and might even have the idea of ​​resisting. After all, for the white doughs, if it were him, he would not be invincible, but when there were too many of them, he could not beat them and could only run away.

Although Chen Mo was very powerful, he only used conventional means to kill these white doughs. Therefore, Zhou Zixing had nothing to be afraid of. At most, he would die if he could not defeat them.

Although he was already nearing his death, he was still very afraid of death. But sometimes, when faced with self-esteem and death, he might lose his mind and choose self-esteem. After all, showing fear in front of a young person is very embarrassing.

But the means Chen Mo showed to kill the strange beasts were not conventional means. The small dagger that flew in the air, and the means that could release a huge amount of flames when thrown casually. And the means that could isolate the wind and snow, and even isolate the sound, were all the sources of his fear.

These methods were all things he had never seen or even heard of. Maybe they existed in legends or novels, but the first time he saw them in reality, he began to be afraid. Who knows if the person who can use such methods has more methods that he has not used yet? What if there is a method that can control his thoughts and actions, then even if he wants to die, it will become impossible.

These were the reasons why Zhou Zixing was afraid and fearful, and they deeply affected him. Chen Mo patted his shoulder casually, and he was worried that this was a way to control him. So this was also the reason why his body couldn't control the trembling after being patted.

"Thank you, thank you, sir!" Zhou Zixing said.

Chen Mo's face was filled with black lines. What was this old Deng afraid of?

Forget it, let it be. Being afraid is okay. Maybe it's a good thing. At least if I have any rebellious thoughts in the future, I can think more about the consequences.

Then he continued, "Remember, I can let you go, but the first thing you have to remember is don't tell anyone about me."

Zhou Zixing nodded in agreement, but he was a little uncertain and said, "Sir, if we go back together later, if Qian Ying asks, how should I answer?"

"If we go back separately, there shouldn't be any problem. Then you can say that you and I didn't meet on the way back. After all, it's foggy here and we can't see each other if we're a little far away. As for the rest, you can figure it out on your own." Chen Mo said.

"Okay." Zhou Zixing nodded in agreement.

"Okay, let's move on to the second point. Whenever we take any action in the future, if there is danger, you have to help Ouyang Nan of the Ouyang family when necessary. Remember, I mean to help when there is danger and necessity. If there is no danger, don't help. Also, I'm only talking about Ouyang Nan. You don't have to worry about other warriors of the Ouyang family. Remember?" Chen Mo said.

Chen Mo knew about the expedition team arranged by the Ouyang family. Ouyang Ruoxi had told him before the departure that these warriors, except for his aunt, were all from the Great Elder's faction. The principle was to consume as many as possible, as they could all be used to reduce the strength of the Great Elder's faction.

As for what might happen if they get something during the expedition, that would also be good. After all, the distribution of benefits had already been decided in the elders' family meeting. Even if the chief elder gets more benefits, other elders can also get benefits. So it's up to fate. If they get it, it's good. If they don't, it doesn't matter. Anyway, it depends on whether these warriors can gain anything from this trip.

Ouyang Ruoxi told Chen Mo all of this, so that he could have a rough idea of ​​what was going on. Naturally, it was only natural for him to ask Zhou Zixing to help Ouyang Nan when he was in danger.

Zhou Zixing was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that he was only asked to pay attention to Ouyang Nan, and he didn't need to pay attention to others. What did this mean? I really couldn't figure it out. Not to mention other people, what about this young man's girlfriend?

But Zhou Zixing is over a hundred years old, and he has experienced much more than young people. Therefore, after thinking deeply about the various battles and struggles within the aristocratic families, he naturally understood that the warriors of the Ouyang family might also be involved in the internal struggles of the family. It was the same as his own family. Even if he was a congenital master, there were still all kinds of intrigues.

After all, the interests of a family are fixed. No matter which side it leans towards, the other side will be reduced. Moreover, a family is not just two sides, but multiple interest groups. Families of all sizes, kinship, bloodlines, legitimate and illegitimate, main and branch branches, etc., constitute different interest groups. In the general direction, they may remain consistent, but internally, they will be involved in different interest groups. Everyone wants to get more benefits, but there are only so many benefits, so naturally there will be conflicts.

The young man's words may also reveal this kind of interest involvement.

"Okay, I understand. When in danger, help Ouyang Nan." Zhou Zixing reassured Chenmo by repeating what he heard.

Chen Mo nodded and continued, "In addition, if I am not in the team, or have to leave for something, you have to pay more attention to my girlfriend for me, take good care of her, and don't let her be in any danger. You don't have to worry about it when I am here, but when I am not here, you have to take care of her first and make sure she is safe."

How could he not arrange Zhou Zixing to take care of Ouyang Ruoxi? But as long as he was in the team, Ruoxi's safety would naturally be his responsibility. If he was not there, there would be free labor, so why not use it?

Zhou Zixing was just wondering why he was not allowed to protect the young man's girlfriend. Now it seems that he was overthinking it. The young man just divided the matter into two parts and emphasized it.

"Okay, got it." What else can I do? Just listen to what he says. Since I can't resist, I'll just listen carefully.

"Very good. The third point is that you just need to pay attention to the first two points at all times. Everything else remains the same. When you return to the team, do what you should do. Just be the innate master of the Zhou family. If I have any actions to take, I will directly transmit the order to you." Chen Mo said.

"Yes."

"Okay, these are the only three points I want to tell you. Just remember them, and the rest is up to you." After saying that, Chen Mo mobilized his true energy, first unblocking Zhou Zixing's body acupuncture points, and then taking back the formation plate.

Suddenly, the isolated space was filled with snow and wind again, and the coldness returned to the two of them. Zhou Zixing even felt a little uncomfortable because of the sharp drop in temperature.

Fortunately, at this moment he was able to use his innate power and circulate his internal energy in time to isolate himself from the invasion of cold temperatures.

Sensing everything that was happening around him, Zhou Zixing's heart was also in turmoil.

This is it, this is it. What the hell is this method that can block out the wind, snow, cold, and even sound.

Although he could use his domain to isolate them after reaching the innate state, the method used by the young man in front of him was definitely not a domain method, but an elusive method. The thing in his hand was incomprehensible, and the patterns engraved on it were so dense that people had no idea what it was. It was really hard to understand what method this was.

He even felt that this method was definitely not achieved through innate power, but another method, such as the legendary formation. But does the formation really exist?
Before Zhou Zixing could think more, he saw Chen Mo waving his hands, and something seemed to be performed, and then all the dirt on himself and his body was cleared away.

At this time, Chen Mo performed the cleansing spell twice to clean the dirt on the two people, so that when they appeared in the team again, no one would notice anything. Just now, this old guy knelt down and begged for mercy, and his clothes and skin were stained with a lot of mud and water.

Some of it even splashed onto Chen Mo's legs, so he used the Cleansing Technique to clean it up.

Zhou Zixing looked at the means he used and felt that they were simply unfathomable and mysterious. This also made him even more frightened, and he secretly warned himself not to provoke this young man, never, ever. It was impossible to guard against such means.

Chen Mo looked at Zhou Zixing's expression, how could he not understand what Lao Deng was thinking. But he did this on purpose, after all, when he returned to the team, if he didn't want to expose his strength, he needed Lao Deng to keep it secret for him.

Therefore, these methods are used to make him understand that I have plenty of means to make him disappear.

These are not safe yet. The real safe thing is that Lan Caijie is in his body. As long as this old guy has any little ideas, Lan Caijie can make him go directly to see his ancestors.

"I put something behind your neck. Remember, don't touch it. Once you touch it, you will bear the consequences at your own risk. Don't say I didn't warn you." Chen Mo said.

Zhou Zixing suddenly felt some discomfort at the back of his neck. He didn't feel anything before Chen Mo said anything. But now that he emphasized it, he felt a little itchy and uncomfortable. He wanted to scratch but stopped abruptly, which was very painful and unbearable.
