Chapter 138 Fate!
After leaving the Demon Hunter Association, Shen Mo and Mu Li returned to the Holy Church.
Zhao Guang was not surprised by the two's sudden return, but was somewhat surprised by the speed at which Mu Li's cultivation level had improved.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Shen Mo explained his purpose.
Is there any follow-up to the Rat Demon incident?
"The investigation is still ongoing," Zhao Guang said. "Since it involves evil gods, methods like divination are not feasible, so we can only rely on manpower to investigate."
Currently, the only information found is that this matter is related to a cult called "God Oil Cult".
This is a newly formed cult, and there is very little information about it. Currently, there are only traces of its activities in the western part of the Alliance—why are you asking this?
"My holy power hasn't improved at all during this time, and I think it's related to this," Shen Mo said, half-jokingly. "After all, I only gained holy power after killing the demon..."
"7
Zhao Guang was not surprised when he heard this.
After all, the improvement of a priest's strength is also related to the purification of monsters.
After a moment's thought, Zhao Guang said to Shen Mo, "I will intensify the investigation... I'll ask about other cities later."
If I receive similar news, I will let you know.
Shen Mo nodded upon hearing this, a strange sense of anticipation stirring within him.
Since he could remember, his predecessor had only lived in Mugu City and had never been to any other place.
If given the chance, he would like to leave Mugu City and visit other pure lands.
After chatting for a few more minutes, Zhaoguang suddenly asked, "Do you have any conflicts with the Tan family?"
The Tan family?
Shen Mo's heart skipped a beat, but he asked calmly, "What's wrong?"
"The fifth heir of the Tan family is investigating you. We initially thought they were the behind-the-scenes supporters of the laboratory, but after investigation, we found that they were not."
"It should be related to the Rose Workshop."
After thinking for a moment, Shen Mo concealed the matter of the Blood Fang Gang and recounted his experience at the Rose Workshop that day.
"I see..." Zhaoguang nodded.
The matter was never mentioned again.
Although the Holy Church and the Demon Hunter Association have blocked some information, they certainly can't hide it from those families.
If Tan Jingxing wanted to do something to Shen Mo, he wouldn't even need the Holy Church to intervene; the Tan family would simply keep him in line.
After all, he was only the fifth in line to succeed Zhao Guang. After a brief chat with Zhao Guang, Shen Mo and Mu Li left the Holy Church and returned home.
Mr. Shen, his mother, and two others have already moved away.
As soon as Shen Mo entered the room, he saw the note on the living room table.
Upon picking it up, I saw it was Shen Huiying's message.
The document details their relocation, acceptance of farmland in Hetian District, and Shen Lang's enrollment in school.
Finally, they left their address, contact information, and asked Shen Mo to let them know he was safe when he got home.
Seeing this, Shen Mo took out his phone and called Shen Huiying to let her know he was safe.
After three days of intense demon hunting, Shen Mo was feeling somewhat exhausted.
After agreeing to have dinner with Shen Huiying the next day, he casually ordered takeout and then sat on the living room sofa with Mu Li to watch TV.
During this time, Mei Gui, Song Xingyuan, and Shi Lan all called.
The next morning, outside the association square.
"What a coincidence!" Yang Shuo exclaimed excitedly, grasping Shen Mo's hand. "You two are actually members of the Blood Axe Demon Hunter Team!"
Sun Yi, standing to the side, looked at Shen Mo and Mu Li with delight and exclaimed, "Masters, it's truly a privilege to be on the same team as you!"
Shen Mo looked at Yang Shuo and Sun Yi, a sudden realization dawning on him, and laughed, "You two have defected from the Red Flag?"
"Yes!" Sun Yi said with a sigh, "Xiao Qing, Zhang Xin, Wu Wenxuan and Yuan Bowen are under investigation by the association for misappropriating team funds."
Two-thirds of the entire Red Banner have chosen to withdraw.
Yang Shuo and I learned that Shi Lan had created the Demon Hunter Team, so we joined.
I never imagined I'd be on the same team as you, Master!
At this point, Sun Yi was pleasantly surprised, but also somewhat puzzled.
He witnessed Shen Mo's actions firsthand.
They knew that the priest in front of them was quite powerful, and was not on the same level as them at all.
Why would someone with such strength join Shi Lan's demon-hunting team?
"You two know each other?"
Just then, Shi Lan walked forward with a surprised look on her face, her gaze shifting between Shen Mo and Sun Yi.
Upon hearing this, Yang Shuo quickly said, "Sister Lan, Shen Mo and Master Mu Li are the two who saved me the day before yesterday!"
"Huh?!" Shi Lan looked at Shen Mo in surprise and said, "You're the one who taught Xiao Qing a lesson?"
"A lesson?" Shen Mo asked. "You and he don't get along?"
"Hmph!" Mentioning Xiao Qing, Shi Lan's face darkened, and she gritted her teeth and cursed, "Why didn't you just kill that pair of scoundrels!"
""
A pair of adulterers?
Thinking of Xiao Qing and Zhang Xin, Shen Mo glanced at the battle axe in Shi Lan's hand, looking at Shi Lan with curiosity, like a badger in a melon field.
"Don't get the wrong idea!"
Seeing Shen Mo's expression, Shi Lan rolled her eyes and said, "Xiao Qing is my senior brother. He married Master's daughter, but he cheated on her with that bitch Zhang Xin."
This bastard was raised by his master since he was a cub.
But unexpectedly, it turned out to be an ungrateful child!
""
After giving Xiao Qing a good scolding, Shi Lan felt a little better and then asked Shen Mo, "Weren't you not going on a mission today?"
"I'm not here to go on missions," Shen Mo said with a smile. "I'm here to exchange for skills!"
Early in the morning, Lu Qishan called to inform him that his recommendation for promotion had been approved.
He had just brought Mu Li to the association to collect his badge when they ran into the Blood Axe Demon Hunter Team—it was purely accidental.
"You received 30,000 Alliance Coins and 5 Points from yesterday's mission. Have you checked?" Shi Lan asked.
"I saw it!" Shen Mo nodded.
"That's fine then."
After Shi Lan finished speaking, she glanced at the silver badge on Shen Mo's chest and clicked her tongue, saying, "I'm still just a Bronze-level Demon Hunter..."
Once this mission is over, I will apply for the Silver Trial.
As the team captain, I'm only ranked third in terms of rank? It's so embarrassing!
Shen Mo and Sun Yi are now both Silver-level Demon Hunters, while Shi Lan is still only a Bronze-level Demon Hunter, which makes her feel the pressure.
In addition, after learning that the Red Flag had fallen apart, Shi Lan also had the idea of poaching people so that she could upgrade the Demon Hunter Team into the Demon Hunter Corps as soon as possible.
She knew quite a few people there.
Although in terms of strength, Shi Lan felt that she was second only to Shen Mo and Mu Li.
But the title of Bronze-level Witcher is no longer enough.
After chatting with Shi Lan and the other two for a few more minutes, Shen Mo glanced at Wei Dongming, Feng Zheng, and the others, and asked curiously, "Where are Li Zitao and the others?"
"Zheng Hao has quit," Shi Lan sighed. "He felt he wasn't suited to be a demon hunter, so he gave up."
Li Zitao went to do the Black Iron Trial mission yesterday.
Xiaoxue experienced a physical transformation last night, and today she's resting at home while getting used to the changes that come with it.
""
Upon hearing this, Shen Mo didn't feel much about Zheng Hao's decision to give up; he was simply surprised by the talent of the girl named Li Xue.
Li Xue was about the same age as him.
During the last mission, he discovered that Li Xue was quite skilled with a gun and should have mastered three combat techniques.
According to Shi Lan, Li Xue must have awakened a talent ability after her physique was elevated.
Otherwise, why would there be a need to stay home specifically to familiarize oneself with the changes after the upgrade...
