Li Mo was surprised when he heard this and couldn't help laughing, but he did not refute Yuan Guannan's words. It seems that the reason why Liu Jing spread such rumors is to save the last bit of face for their court. However, it is not difficult for a discerning person to spot the strangeness, and he can only deceive himself and others.
"Then do you know which sects have recently risen to participate in this martial arts conference?"
"Back to seniors, as far as I know, in addition to our Tiangang Sect, there is also a relatively powerful sect, the Luoyang Sect, who also sent their sect's top master to the imperial city. As for the other sects, they are all How dare some improvised rabble come to compete for the throne of the world’s hegemon!”
Yuan Guannan was very respectful and did not dare to make any mistakes. He told Li Mo everything he knew.
"Luoyang Sect!"
After hearing this, Li Moteng stood up from the chair with a cold look in his eyes. Even Liu Yan, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but frown.
I don’t know who founded the sect and actually gave it this name. This is clearly a provocation to their Xianyang Sect!
"Do you know who founded the Luoyang Sect?"
Seeing Li Mo's angry expression, Yuan Guannan knew that he had made a mistake, and a trace of cold sweat immediately appeared on his forehead.
"Senior...Senior, I only know that their sect leader seems to be called Ghost Master. But I have never seen this person before, and their sect disciples also act secretly. They rarely appear on the mainland, and no one knows I’m afraid no one knows much about their sect’s location.”
"Ghost Master!"
Li Mo was shocked when he heard this name. I had heard this name from Nangong Yun before, and it was this mysterious island that this person helped Nangong Yun find. Li Mo was thinking about ending the martial arts conference and meeting this person, but he didn't expect to get a clue here.
"Okay! Yuan Guannan, I am satisfied with your answer. You can leave now!"
"Thank you, senior! Thank you, senior!"
Yuan Guannan, who was relieved, thanked Li Mo and left the teahouse in a hurry.
"Xiao Mo, who is that Ghost Master? You seem to know this person. Does he have any grudge against our Xianyang Sect?"
Only Li Mo and Liu Yan were left in the single room. Liu Yan also stood up and took his arm and asked softly.
"Yan'er, this matter is rather complicated. It can't be explained in a few words. Let's go back to the inn to meet Grandpa and the others first!"
"Um!"
Liu Yan nodded obediently and followed Li Mo out of the teahouse.
…
In an upper room called Yuelai Inn, Li Mo recounted word for word the news he had just guessed from Yuan Guannan.
Xuanyuan Wudi and Wanling also had angry expressions on their faces.
"Hmph! Senior brother, this ghost master named the sect Luoyang Sect. He is clearly targeting our Xianyang Sect. How about I return to the sect now to report to Master and destroy them directly?"
Wanling's fiery temper was revealed.
"Junior sister, please don't be impulsive in this matter. We still don't know what kind of strength this ghost master is and where their sect is. It's not too late to ask Master to make a decision after we figure this matter out!"
Xuanyuan Wudi is much more experienced than Wan Ling. Although he is equally angry, he will never act rashly without knowing the details of his opponent.
"Auntie, don't be impulsive. The Luoyang Sect has also sent people to the imperial city this time. As long as we find this person, I believe we won't be able to find out their details!"
Li Mo said thoughtfully, and he was very curious about this ghost master. Now that he has reached the level of a senior martial emperor, he has heard of some of the most famous and powerful men on the continent, but he has no impression of this ghost master. If he hadn't heard this person from Nangong Yun's mouth many times, he might not have even known about his existence.
"Well! What Xiao Mo said is absolutely true. Let's be patient for a while. Don't make random suspicions. Xiao Mo still has to prepare for this big battle with all his strength. Let's put this matter here until the disciples sent by the Luoyang Sect arrive. Show up and everything will be revealed!”
…
Three days later, there was only one day left before the start of the martial arts tournament. Today is the last day to register for the conference, and Li Mo also woke up from his trance.
In the past three days, he has not left the room for even a step. He has been meditating and practicing to adjust his condition to the best.
"Xiaomo, you wake up!"
When Li Mo opened his eyes, Liu Yan's gentle voice appeared in his ears. Looking at his beloved wife who was always by his side, Li Mo smiled apologetically.
"Yan'er, these days have been tough on you. I originally planned to come to the Imperial City a few days early so that I could show you around. I didn't expect that I would encounter so many things and make you worry about me."
"Xiaomo, what are you talking about! We are now husband and wife, and we will naturally have to share whatever happens. Although I, Liu Yan, am a female, I am by no means a pampered young lady. As long as I can always With you, these things don’t matter!”
After hearing Liu Yan's words, Li Mo hugged him into his arms. I sighed secretly in my heart, what could the couple ask for if they could marry Liu Yan
After briefly freshening up, Li Mo walked towards the palace in the center of the imperial city alone. This is the place to register for the conference. When Li Mo came to the entrance of the palace, the scene here immediately made him very surprised.
"Hey! Didn't you say that all the forces on the mainland have been invited to participate in this conference? Today is the registration time, why is it so deserted here?"
Looking at the two rows of fully armed soldiers on both sides of the palace gate, and the few monks who came to sign up, Li Mo couldn't help but talk to himself.
When Li Mo arrived at the registration office, he saw an acquaintance, Wu Daoling, the grand master of the dynasty.
"Haha... Master Wu, I miss you so much after not seeing you for a long time! I just didn't know that as one of the top experts in the mainland today, you actually deigned to do the job of recording the applicants. You are really overqualified!"
When Wu Daoling heard this and looked up to see Li Mo, the expression on his face was uncertain.
"As a minister, I just want to share the worries of the Holy One. As for what I do, it doesn't matter."
Facing Li Mo's slightly mocking words, Wu Daoling said righteously.
"The Taishi's loyalty to the imperial court is well known to everyone on the mainland, and I really admire you very much. But today I see that there are very few monks who have signed up to participate in the conference. I wonder what the reason is?"
Li Mo put away his joking words and asked the questions in his heart.
"Hmph! You have the nerve to ask? If you hadn't ignored the centuries-old laws of the imperial city and exposed your strength by fighting with others in the street. How could there be so few people signing up?"
"Ah! It turns out it's because of this incident. Hey! Those people yesterday went too far. You also know my temper. It's really unbearable, so I taught you a lesson. But it's okay, the remaining monks are from mainland China The first-class experts above also save the Grand Master some tedious work, don't they?"
"Hmph! You don't need to worry about these things for me. Let's see you at the martial arts conference!"
After Wu Daoling finished speaking, he lowered his head and ignored Li Mo.
