The two were enveloped in a True Essence Qi Shield, breaking through the air and forming a streamlined air tail. Even staying within the shield, they couldn't feel a bit of the wind, making it smooth and comfortable.
Zhang Huan quickly adapted, showing a hint of excitement on his face. Air-controlling flight, it was no different from being an immortal.
In less than ten minutes, the two arrived at the largest cemetery in South City, in a spacious clearing, and saw the tombstone of Mr. Zhang.
"Mr. Zhang, it's me, Lin Mo, here to see you. I didn't expect after we last parted, you would be gone."
Lin Mo stood with his hands behind his back, standing before the tombstone of the Commander of Nine Gates, feeling quite emotional.
Although he was a cultivator, Mr. Zhang was just an ordinary person, but he once dominated Jiangnan and Jiangbei, considered a hero of his region. Who would have thought that after his death, he would end like this?
Lin Mo sighed softly, the ice crystals in the air automatically gathered and condensed, forming a cluster of transparent chrysanthemums, slowly falling in front of the tombstone.
"Grandpa, I've come to see you." Zhang Huan knelt on the ground, his eyes red, faintly containing tears rolling inside.
"What is the situation with the Zhang Family now?"
Lin Mo's eyes carried a hint of murderous intent.
"Ever since Grandpa passed away, the household has been scattered. My uncle, second uncle, and my dad can't control the situation. Other branches of the Zhang Family are restless, with many people already bought off by Luo Shaoshou." Zhang Huan wiped his tears and said.
"Tomorrow at noon, in Zhen Guan Garden, have everyone from the Zhang Family come over."
Lin Mo said coldly: "Also have Nie Family's Nie Yuanfeng, Chu Family's Chu Feiyun, and Zhong Family's Zhong Shousong come with them to meet me. I've been away from Jiangnan for so long, it seems some people have already forgotten me."
"Okay." Zhang Huan raised his head, his red eyes looking at Lin Mo. Lin Mo's sword-flying was just like an immortal, sure to intimidate the Luo Family.
Jiangzhou.
Inside the No. 1 Red Roof Villa area.
"What, you say Lin Mo is back?" A middle-aged man in a vest with a white shirt underneath jumped up from the sofa.
"Someone just called and said Lin Mo is back, inviting the old master to attend tomorrow's gathering at Zhen Guan Garden." An elderly man dressed as a butler said slowly.
"I know, you may leave. Also, notify Chu Xin and Ling Ding to return." Chu Feiyun waved his hand and said.
The elderly man dressed as a butler bowed his head and took a few steps back before turning to leave the villa's living room.
"Feiyun, what's happening?"
At this moment, Chu Feiyun's wife came down the villa's spiral staircase. In recent years, the Chu Family has been in the limelight, and Chu Feiyun is always full of vigor. It's rare to see him with such a serious expression.
"Lin Mo is back." Chu Feiyun said flatly.
"He's back?" Xie Feier's eyes widened.
"How could he return? He hasn't been back to Jiangnan for years, seemingly having forgotten about things here." Xie Feier showed a puzzled expression.
"I think this time he must have returned because of the Zhang Family matters. You know Luo Shaoshou's ambition; this time Lin Mo will likely clash with Luo Shaoshou." Chu Feiyun frowned his thick eyebrows.
Xie Feier sat beside Chu Feiyun and said, "But this Luo Shaoshou is no ordinary person; he is from the Luo Family, the top family in Ancient Capital. If Lin Mo goes against him, who can win?"
"It's hard to say. The Luo Family is the top family in Ancient Capital, and Huaxia's first family, with an unimaginable depth, but Lin Mo is even more unfathomable." Chu Feiyun shook his head and said.
"Our Chu Family must choose our side wisely, or just one wrong move could lead to disaster." Although Xie Feier is a woman, she is no ordinary one, understanding everything clearly.
Chu Feiyun nodded in agreement: "I do have some collaborations with the Luo Family, but haven't harmed the Zhang Family's interests. Besides, Chu Xin and Ling Ding have a good relationship with Lin Mo; Lin Mo shouldn't trouble our Chu Family. We'll just go over on time tomorrow."
"Alright." Xie Feier nodded, "Something big is about to happen in Jiangnan this time."
Zhong Family.
An elderly man wearing a Tang suit, with graying hair, sat on a rocking chair, holding two black health balls in his hand, slightly squinting his eyes, leisurely turning them, enjoying the precious winter sunlight.
"Old master."
A servant slowly walked to his side from behind, his expression changing slightly, lowering his head, saying: "Old master, he has returned."
"Hmm? Who has returned?" Zhong Shousong slowly opened his eyes, which should have been cloudy, but there was a glint of sharpness, "You mean Lin Mo?"
"Yes, he's back to Jiangnan, and invited Mr. Zhong to Zhen Guan Garden tomorrow at noon, and both the Chu Family and the Nie Family have already received the notice."
"Alright, I got it." Zhong Shousong said indifferently: "You go and call Shixian, Shirui, and also call Zhong Li and Phil over."
"Yes, old master."
The servant respectfully retreated.
Soon, three middle-aged men and one woman approached Zhong Shousong. Among them, one man had a high nose and deep-set eyes, surprisingly a foreign man.
Zhong Shousong had two sons and a daughter. His daughter studied in Russia when she was young, fell in love, and despite the family's opposition, married a Russian man named Phil, who is also from a renowned Russian family. Zhong Shousong finally consented reluctantly.
This Spring Festival, Zhong Li brought her husband back to Jiangzhou.
"Dad, why did you call us in such a hurry, is there something wrong?" The eldest son, Zhong Shirui, asked suspiciously.
"Lin Mo is back." Zhong Shousong said indifferently.
Zhong Shirui and Zhong Shixian's faces simultaneously changed slightly. Who is Lin Mo? Two years ago, he shocked Jiangnan and defeated the top person in Jiangnan, Dugu Shishui, known as the Young King of Jiangnan. However, Lin Mo hasn't appeared in people's sight for years.
"He's back?"
Zhong Shirui's face changed slightly.
"You should know that Lin Mo had some connections with Mr. Zhang and was also quite close to Mr. Zhang's granddaughter. This time, he's probably back for the Zhang Family matters." Zhong Shousong said in a deep voice, his gaze becoming somewhat sharp, staring at Zhong Shirui and Zhong Shixian.
"Dad, we cooperated with the Luo Family out of necessity. After all, the Luo Family's power is such that they can crush us like an ant." Zhong Shirui said with a pale face.
"Alright, it's useless for you to tell me these things now." Zhong Shousong waved his hand and said, "I just don't know who will win this time between Lin Mo and Luo Shaoshou from the Luo Family."
Zhong Shixian's eyes rolled around and said, "Dad, although Lin Mo is remarkable, the Luo Family is Huaxia's first family, their profound heritage is hard to speculate, I think Lin Mo's chances of victory are not high."
"Hmph." Zhong Shousong snorted coldly, remaining silent.
"Dad, there's no need to worry, Big Brother and Second Brother had no choice but to cooperate with the Luo Family. Is Lin Mo really that formidable? The Luo Family is not easy to mess with, and moreover, Phil and I have some connections in Russia and America. Whether it's the Luo Family or Lin Mo, they can't do much to our Zhong Family." The fashionably dressed Zhong Li slowly opened her mouth, with a touch of pride on her cheeks.
