"Let them be happy. Look how long the kids have been holding back. It's been so long since they got through this. It's not easy for them, sigh~"

"Pfft, the netizen upstairs, I can feel the deep malice between your lines. Stop hiding it, you're showing your gloating!"

"I miss our Mo Shen so much! It's been so long since we've seen him. I know he's currently in the third trial, but I want to know how many trials there are. Are you sure you won't wait until everyone else has passed the final trial tower before letting him out?"

"Waaaaah, stop talking! I want to too! I can only look at the screenshots of Mo Shen's handsome figure from before. I also want to know when I can pass this level!"

"Thinking about the 365 days of the year in the God of Ink"

"Have we gone off-topic? Weren't we supposed to be talking about foreign affairs? How did we end up talking about Mo Shen?! Humph! Don't they know we shouldn't mention Mo Shen? Just mentioning Mo Shen makes my longing flow like a river, unstoppable!!"

The comments in the live stream of the Great Xia Kingdom are always different from those of other countries. They are happy, but missing the God of Ink is a common topic among the people of the Great Xia Kingdom.

If Li Mo knew now that all the other countries had just passed the second level of the Trial Tower test.

He anticipates that he will feel the frustration of a disappointed father, but fortunately, he is unaware of the situation outside.

Li Mo suddenly stopped and turned to look at Fang Liangxuan, who had been following behind him.

Fang Liangxuan didn't notice Li Mo's sudden stop and almost bumped into him. Looking at Li Mo, who was standing there deep in thought, with a blank expression, he asked curiously, "Senior Brother, what's wrong? Did you discover something?"

Li Mo: "Is there a kind of magic that can find people? I remember seeing it before. Do you know it?" 537

Fang Liangxuan's expression immediately turned a little awkward, and he chuckled twice.

"What Senior Brother says is true, but I don't know this spell. It requires a high level of control over spiritual power, at least the Nascent Soul stage. It also requires the personal belongings of Junior Brother Li and the others, which we don't have!"

After thinking for a moment, Li Mo couldn't help but retort.

"This technique can be performed even if you know someone's birth date and time, right?"

Fang Liangxuan's eyes widened. He had never heard of this before. Because this technique was too difficult for him to learn, he had never paid attention to the specifics. He had only heard about it. Could it really be used like this?

Li Mo touched his nose. This was something that suddenly came to his mind; there were many books on magic in his study.

He guessed that it was collected for him by his sect leader father. It only contained some principles and formulas, probably intended for the original owner to try and see if he could learn them. Moreover, it did not seem to differentiate between specific levels of difficulty.

After watching for so many days, he found that he could actually understand everything.

He even felt that if he had enough spiritual power, he could have used the spell this time, but unfortunately he didn't.

Moreover, just as Fang Liangxuan said, the spiritual power stored in their realm was simply insufficient to support them in completing the spells, so Li Mo could only sigh and continue searching.

Soon it was time to meet, and Li Mo had set the time as 7:00 PM, which was before 10:00 PM.

So we had no choice but to head back and check on the other groups.

When they returned to the inn, they happened to run into Fang Liangtian's group at the entrance.

"Senior Brother, we have no leads. No one saw Junior Brother Li and his group. I even asked the guards at the city gate, and they only said they saw four groups of people, including us, enter the city. Do you have any leads?"

Before Li Mo could answer, Fang Liangxuan sighed and shook his head: "Don't even mention it. We searched for a long time in this desolate wilderness, but we didn't find a single person, not even a corner of their clothes."

Li Mo's bad premonition grew stronger.

However, it is said that the best time to search for a missing person is within 24 hours.

But the current conditions don't allow it, so we can only wait until dawn to search again.

"Let's go inside first and ask Uncle Chen if he has any news."

Unfortunately, Uncle Chen, who stayed at the inn, also had no relevant information, so Li Mo's guess was correct; these people must have encountered trouble.

Upon learning this, these once spirited junior students all looked as if they had been struck by frost, their spirits extremely low.

Li Mo said, "Don't be discouraged, everyone. Tonight's search doesn't mean anything. After all, there are many restrictions because it's dark. Go back and get some rest, and we can search again tomorrow."

Fang Liangtian and Fang Liangxuan echoed, "Everyone should go back and get some rest. Senior Brother is right. Maybe Junior Brother Li and the others were just stuck there because it was dark. They'll find us when it gets light. Let's all go back!"

After everyone else had left, the Fang brothers followed Li Mo back to their residence.

Their three rooms were right next to each other, with Li Mo's room in the middle.

This arrangement was probably for his own protection, and Li Mo didn't pretend to say that he didn't need it.

Upon opening the door, Fang Liangtian and you did not go back, but instead followed Li Mo directly to his room.

"Senior Brother, Junior Brother Li and the others have gone missing. Should we inform the sect about this?"

When Fang Liangtian asked, Li Mo thought for a moment and nodded: "Tell me now. After all, it's not a small matter. He's an inner disciple. Whether it's a false alarm or not, it's a big deal."

Li Mo didn't feel like he was being looked down upon. If he were a normal person and could cultivate, he might be able to solve the problem on his own. But this time, he was portrayed as a useless person.

They wouldn't dare to act recklessly anymore; if they couldn't do it themselves, they would naturally have to find someone who could.

In Li Mo's opinion, this mission was actually quite unreasonable, given that these inner disciples knew nothing about it.

The moment they descended the mountain was the momentous event of vanquishing a demon, and no elders accompanied them.

And he even accepted the responsibility of leading the team despite knowing nothing. Isn't this just playing around?!

It was inevitable that something would happen; Li Mo hadn't expected to wake up so quickly.

After sending the message talisman, Fang Liangtian sat down at the table.

Fang Liangxuan broke the silence: "Where do you think this person went? It's really too strange. Junior Brother Li and the others are familiar with this area, just like Senior Brother. How could they suddenly disappear? It's unbelievable."

"Don't think about it anymore, go back and rest. You'll be full of energy tomorrow to find them!"

Li Mo gave the final concluding remarks. The Fang brothers exchanged a glance, then stood up to take their leave.

Li Mo, lying in bed, stopped thinking about the matter and quickly fell asleep.

Outside in the courtyard, the Fang brothers stood together. Fang Liangxuan said in a low voice, "Brother, do you think our eldest brother can find the person? Losing someone is no small matter, and I'm a little worried."

Fang Liangtian's expression was calm: "Alright, go back. Do your best and leave the rest to fate."

Li Mo felt a warm gaze, opened his eyes, and felt warm all over. The room was bathed in the morning sunlight. He didn't get up immediately, but listened to the sounds.

It was quiet outside, so I got up and tidied myself up. As soon as I opened the door, I could hear the lively sounds from the yard.

Li Mo was stunned for a moment before belatedly realizing what was going on.

Each room should have a soundproof array. I don't know about others, but at least his wasn't set up by himself. It must have been set up beforehand, most likely specifically to ensure he could sleep well.

"Senior Brother, you're awake."

"Greetings, Senior Brother."

Good morning, Senior Brother!

The junior disciples were already meditating in the courtyard. When they saw Li Mo open the door, they all greeted him. Li Mo nodded silently.

I walked straight into the hall without looking to the side, where a lot of people had already gathered.

Li Mo found a seat and started eating. Only after everyone had gradually arrived in the hall did Li Mo start thinking about a plan.

After the meal, they continued their search for the missing people.

Before the person was found, the people from Yunqi Sect arrived first. The person who came was none other than Elder Fang from Xuanwu Hall.

After Elder Fang arrived, he found Li Mo and inquired about the situation.

After learning the whole story, Elder Fang ordered his men to split into two groups: one to continue searching for the missing disciple, and the other to go to the mission location to exorcise the demon.

Li Mo led the Fang brothers and most of his disciples to the mission location.

When Fang Liangtian was looking for the person yesterday, he had already asked for all the relevant information.

So when they came back here during the day, they were recognized.

Locals say they've been hearing a rustling or crawling sound outside at night lately.

Traces of the incident can be seen on the streets during the day, but it seems that one will not be harmed if the door is not opened.

The first family to be murdered was a family where the male head of the household was drinking one night and encountered a monster on his way home in a drunken stupor.

Because this person often stayed out all night drinking, his family didn't suspect anything.

Thinking everything would be the same as before, he went out in the morning only to find that the person had died at his doorstep and had their internal organs eaten.

The deaths were extremely gruesome, causing great panic.

Moreover, such incidents continued to occur one after another, and the second person to die was the night watchman.

It was because of his nighttime travel that he met with this misfortune. His death was the same as the first person's; his internal organs were eaten.

The people looked at the remaining traces on the ground and knew that it must have been a reptilian monster.

After learning that going out at night would lead to accidents, no one wanted to go out anymore. They thought that this would stop people from dying, but two days later, someone else died.

This person was murdered in their own home.

He was an elderly man living alone, whose children had all passed away. So when they found him dead, it was already the third day. His house smelled bad, which is when the neighbors discovered it.

Since then, several more things have been discovered, but the traces at the scene have become different from before.

All sorts of traces were counted, and there were as many as seven or eight types, and more than twenty people had died.

Now all the people were terrified and went to the government for help. The government had already begun investigating and knew it wasn't man-made, but there was nothing they could do. Since the matter was within the jurisdiction of Yunqi Gate, they wrote a letter seeking assistance.

That's how it happened. The government officials also took Li Mo and his group to all the locations on site.

They all said the same thing, but unfortunately, Li Mo and his group couldn't find any trace to follow, and there was no pattern to the monsters' rampage.

It's like coming whenever you want.

However, the killings were not widespread, mainly concentrated in the southern part of the city. Therefore, Li Mo asked Fang Liangtian and the others to set up a trigger array so that they could be alerted when any monsters appeared.

Li Mo was responsible for coming up with ideas; the specific implementation was up to his junior brothers and sisters.

After they had all made their arrangements, Fang Liangxuan and the others counted the number of all the gates in the south of the city, and then the junior brothers drew the flashing runes in the same way.

Its function is very simple: each household receives one. If any monster is discovered, they simply tear off the talisman to warn them. Otherwise, the south of the city is too large for them to handle.

Li Mo held the position of senior brother, and no one dared to disobey him.

Li Mo's operation was simple: to find out the whereabouts and traces of these monsters.

He analyzed that these monsters weren't particularly rampant; on the contrary, they chose to kill in the dead of night, indicating they weren't very bold. It was only later, when they got used to killing, that they became less restrained.
