In response, Chen Mo activated his cultivation technique, feeling the fluctuation of Spiritual Qi in the surrounding world and found that the direction indicated by the person had the most agitated and dense Innate Spiritual Qi.

Back in Xia Lin, when the Soul Devouring Array was activated, the Innate Spiritual Qi at the Celestial King Hall built by Yang Minggui was also the most agitated and dense.

Chen Mo guessed that the Prime Minister's Mansion might be the epicenter of the Soul Devouring Array.

"General Jiang, Zhi Ning, follow me with your troops."

Chen Mo wasted no time. After a quick remark, he leaped onto the rooftop nearby and headed straight for the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Following the layout of the city streets would be taking a detour.

...

Activating his cultivation technique, Chen Mo hurried for time, directly deploying the Cloud Traveling Step.

Before long, Chen Mo arrived outside the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Here is the epicenter..."

Chen Mo felt the Spiritual Qi of the world gathering here.

At the same time, the invisible pulling force was becoming stronger.

"Who is there?"

At that moment, the Lu Army outside the mansion noticed Chen Mo and quickly surrounded him.

Chen Mo did not retreat but walked toward them with large strides.

After several steps, he suddenly started running fast, and when he was only three yards from the gate, he leaped up and slashed with a blade: "Get out of the way!"

In mid-air, the blade flashed.

The surrounding Lu Army couldn't see exactly what was happening but felt an oppressing energy suffocating them.

The wind and rain became silent, and the Lu Army's steps stopped immediately, with a line of blood appearing on their necks and waists that was hard to see with the naked eye.

Chen Mo landed in front of the gate, and at the moment he touched the ground...

Sounds of "clang, clang" came from behind him, as heads and chunks of flesh lost their balance and fell to the ground, along with weapons scattered everywhere.

"Boom..."

A loud explosion.

The tightly closed gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion was broken open, followed by chaotic sounds.

Dozens of soldiers from the Lu Army standing behind the gate were severed at the waist. At the moment the door was broken open, they saw Chen Mo standing before them and the ground covered with corpses behind him, sending chills down their spines, causing their hands holding swords to tremble.

"Get out..."

Chen Mo shouted coldly.

And all that responded to Chen Mo were cries for battle.

These soldiers were the most trusted personal soldiers of Lu Sheng and could not be easily frightened.

Therefore, Chen Mo had no choice but to open a killing spree.

Yet not all of them were fearless.

After capturing one man and questioning him about whether Lu Sheng was in the mansion and his exact location, Chen Mo wasted no more time on killing small soldiers and took him straight toward the bookroom.

...

"It's... here." Pointed the man being carried by Chen Mo toward the bookroom opposite.

As Chen Mo put him down, he suddenly felt something.

The next moment, countless arrows came from all directions toward Chen Mo.

Judging from the sound, Chen Mo knew they were shot by crossbows.

Chen Mo did not dodge.

In the blink of an eye.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

A dull sound resonated around Chen Mo.

All the arrows shot from all directions were blocked by the Protective Spiritual Qi surrounding Chen Mo, while the man just released by Chen Mo was pierced like a hedgehog, blood spurting from his mouth.

Enduring the rain of arrows, Chen Mo walked step by step toward the bookroom, shouting coldly: "Lu Sheng, come out!"

However, this time, what responded to him were armored warriors pouring out of corridors on both sides.

"Come out!"

Without paying attention to these small fries, Chen Mo infused Innate Spiritual Qi into the Tang Blade in his hand, cleaving horizontally toward the bookroom, unleashing a massive, invisible blade radiance sweeping toward it.

"Crack..."

A sound of breaking.

Columns of nanmu wood from the corridors on both sides broke under the brute force of the blade radiance. The broken parts turned into fragments, and the momentum of the blade did not diminish, cleaving straight ahead, instantly turning the armored warriors on the corridor into incomplete corpses, and finally crashing into the bookroom.

Rumble…

Amidst explosive sounds, the bookroom seemed to have been shaved, splitting into two halves, with tables, chairs, and books inside shattered into pieces.

Absorbing Innate Spiritual Qi in the bookroom, Lu Sheng dodged the terrifying blade radiance at the moment Chen Mo took action.

The next moment, the bookroom collapsed, dust and smoke rose, and Lu Sheng, protected by Overlord's Qi, holding the Heaven-piercing Halberd, appeared within Chen Mo's sight.

"If I'm not mistaken, you should be Chen Mo, really young."

Lu Sheng did not attack but instead started chatting with Chen Mo.

Chen Mo unleashed a slash, but Lu Sheng directly blocked it with the Heaven-piercing Halberd seemingly without pressure.

Lu Sheng did not take the opportunity to counterattack but sneered coldly: "I didn't expect it. I didn't go looking for you, yet you dared to come to me, alone even. Such youthful arrogance."

Chen Mo frowned.

Lu Sheng's power had already increased from the original 3989+99, becoming 4650+99.

From the apparent strength, he was already far superior to Chen Mo.

Meanwhile, Chen Mo's power had dropped over two hundred on the way to the Prime Minister's Mansion, now only slightly over four thousand.

As for Chen Mo's expression, Lu Sheng was quite satisfied.

Previously, at the East Gate, Lu Sheng was suppressed by Chen Mo.

But the next second, Lu Sheng's expression turned solemn.

It was still winter, with rain falling and the weather quite cold.

Yet this chill was suddenly replaced by heat, white smoke rising as the rainwater evaporated into mist.

A several-yard-wide purple Great Sun suspended in the air behind Chen Mo.

Just upon facing each other, Chen Mo activated his divine power.

Upon activation, Chen Mo's strength surged tremendously.

Upon entering the Divine Power Realm, activating divine power would instantly increase one's strength by one or two taels.

Upon entering the Second Grade Divine Transformation Realm, the power of this divine power naturally multiplied.

If Lu Sheng also had a system, he would see a red number "4550+370." above Chen Mo's head.

The 370, of course, was added by the Martial Arts Great Sun Qi Slash.

It's worth noting that the most basic Celestial Harmony Saber had already undergone several Tier Break transformations, evolving into the current Great Sun Qi Slash (Intermediate).

Chen Mo did not waste words with Lu Sheng.

"Crack..."

In a crisp sound, the floor tiles beneath Chen Mo's feet shattered instantly, as the Tang Blade in his hand drew a line of white light, his body resembling a roaming dragon, moving toward Lu Sheng in a bizarre stride, clearly intending to settle the battle quickly.

Feeling Chen Mo's power surge, Lu Sheng's casual demeanor immediately disappeared, the Heaven-piercing Halberd in his hand swung behind him, manifesting a massive golden giant.

Then, he pointed the Heaven-piercing Halberd at Chen Mo, and the golden giant holding a gigantic Heaven-piercing Halberd swung at Chen Mo.

Standing less than nine feet tall, Chen Mo appeared particularly small before this golden giant.

While Lu Sheng did not move from the bookroom position, the epicenter continued to provide him dense Innate Spiritual Qi.

Although still a long way from breakthrough, he could easily wear down Chen Mo.

Yet Chen Mo paid no heed to Lu Sheng's divine power, continuing toward Lu Sheng's main body.

Just when the golden giant's Heaven-piercing Halberd was about to land on Chen Mo.

A purple Great Sun descended like a meteor, fiercely crashing onto the golden giant, knocking it back several yards. Wisps of purple flames attached and burned, making the golden giant increasingly ethereal.

Witnessing this, Lu Sheng's eyelids twitched, and seeing Chen Mo's move, he leaped up first, launching an attack with a thrust from above.

Chen Mo raised his blade horizontally, and upon hearing a "clang" sound, his arms suddenly exerted force, sending Lu Sheng flying from the epicenter's position.

Just like in Xia Lin, the Soul Devouring Array didn't recognize people, whoever was at the epicenter received the Innate Spiritual Qi.

Lu Sheng's power boost came to an abrupt halt, replaced by Chen Mo's gradual increase.

Realizing this, without stopping, Lu Sheng held the Heaven-piercing Halberd in reverse, raising a golden shadow under the rain, instantly charging towards Chen Mo, trying to push him back.

Chen Mo remained stationary, choosing to confront Lu Sheng directly.

After a few short rounds, Lu Sheng found himself at a disadvantage.
