"Is it really okay?" Si Xiaoxiao looked at Li Mo with concern, her little face full of worry.

"I'm fine." Li Mo said this, and urged everyone to move forward to see the river lanterns together, so everyone had no choice but to continue walking towards the river. However, Mu Xuzhen walked beside Li Mo, very close to her, ready to detect any abnormality in Li Mo at the first time.

Li Mo walked within Mu Xuzhen's protection range with a calm expression.

Si Xiaoxiao and Si Renxuan were like children, and they really thought that Li Mo just didn't sleep well and was hallucinating. But after a while, the two of them started chattering and looking around, while Su Xun was normal, only occasionally looking at Li Mo with a thoughtful look...

The night wind blew gently, making the river sparkle, and the bright moon in the sky dyed the long river a layer of silver-gray. Tourists in groups of three or two placed red lotus wishing lanterns cut from red paper on the riverside, and the candlelight and the sky shone together, illuminating the world...

Si Renxuan bought five red lotus lanterns and handed them to everyone, asking them to write down their wishes, light them and put them into the river. As Si Renxuan placed the lanterns into the water, he chanted, "Please bless me to win the inner sect competition this year and get a good ranking. Please bless me to find my natal spirit beast as soon as possible and become the leader of Xiaocang Peak's beast-controlling sect."

"Okay, brother, you have too many wishes. You can't even finish writing on the paper for the wishing lanterns." Si Xiaoxiao said angrily, and the others smiled.

Li Mo asked Si Xiaoxiao: "What did you write?"

Si Xiaoxiao blushed slightly and said, "I hope that I and everyone are happy." This "everyone" should also include Su Xun... What a cute and innocent girl. Li Mo squinted his eyes and smiled at Si Xiaoxiao.

Seeing innocent and pure beauty always makes people want to tear it apart... Just as the evil thoughts in Li Mo's heart were rising, Su Xun suddenly asked her: "What is your wish?"

"Me?" Li Mo looked down at her blank wishing paper and stuffed it into her Qiankun bag. She never believed in this and had no interest in it. She said, "I don't have any wishes, so I won't light the lamp."

Then he turned around and asked, "Brother, what did you write?"

After Si Renxuan gave Mu Xuzhen the wishing lantern, Mu Xuzhen, who was very serious about everything, wrote it immediately, so Li Mo saw what Mu Xuzhen wrote in a blink of an eye: Defend the Dao Wentian Sect, guard the Master, and protect the Junior Sister.

……

Li Mo looked at Mu Xuzhen's face as he was writing a wish paper seriously, but her mind was filled with the scene of him being expelled from the Wentian Sect in the future and being pierced through the heart by thousands of swords of the righteous path... A myriad of emotions surged in her, and she didn't know how to sort them out. Seeing her face change slightly, Mu Xuzhen moved closer to her and asked, "What's wrong?"

Li Mo took a deep breath, relaxed his expression, and said, "Nothing."

Then, he slowly spoke again: "Brother, will you really protect me, your junior sister?"

"Will do."

"Ever?"

"Always." Mu Xuzhen's expression was serious and calm, as if the promise of this lifetime was so simple and easy. However, those who knew his character knew that such a promise represented his firmness that would never change.

"Really..." Li Mo's eyes were far away. She didn't look at Mu Xuzhen, but looked at the red lotus lantern floating in the distance... The river breeze blew across her cheeks, causing her hair to flutter in the wind. Her fair and beautiful face was illuminated by the moonlight and became almost transparent...

……

Suddenly, one of the girls playing around them took two steps back and bumped into Li Mo by the river. Li Mo was only five years old and small. She slipped and fell backwards into the river. Mu Xuzhen reached out to pull her, but it was too late. Li Mo was about to move her body to bounce back to the shore, but suddenly she felt an abnormal suction force on the river behind her, which made her lose all her strength and fall into the river at a high speed. The wind and waves of the river sucked her into the center of the river in an instant, and her whole body was deep in the water...

Mu Xuzhen and Su Xun's faces changed drastically, and they immediately rushed over...

Darkness, endless darkness. As soon as Li Mo entered the river, she felt that the endless darkness bound her. She raised her eyes and could no longer see the bright moon hanging high in the sky, nor the stars in the sky. It was as if there was a layer of black gauze in the river, covering up all external objects. She opened her eyes, but there was only endless darkness and she could not see anything clearly.

There must be something strange about this.

Ordinary river water could never trap her. Even if she fell into the water, with her cultivation level at the Daotai stage, she could easily escape from the water and fly out of the river. Not to mention that logically if Mu Xu really saw her fall into the water, he would definitely follow her down immediately. It was impossible that she had been in the water for three breaths and the surroundings were still silent and nothing happened.

Li Mo recalled the strange things that had happened before.

The sound of the bell...

When she thought of this, she heard another "buzzing" sound in her ears. The sound that seemed to be far and near floated into her ears again, like the sound of a bell, the sound of a golden bell, and the sound of a zither... After a few sounds, it disappeared, and after a few breaths, it sounded again... Her heart was slightly horrified. Although she had declared her strength in the Daotai realm in this life in the Wentian Sect, in fact, she had been lazy in practice and suppressed her cultivation, so that she could barely be called a genius, but she was definitely not a standout among the many proud children of the Wentian Sect. She did not want to be too special and cause the elders to investigate deeply, but she inherited the powerful consciousness of the Wuchen period in her previous life. Even if she fought with the Heavenly Sword Lord Mu Jianfei, she would have a chance to fight back and escape.

This was her trump card to save her life. Even Mu Jianfei was deceived by her secret method and thought that her spiritual awareness was only at the Daotai level.

But this voice suddenly appeared in her mind, lingering, and she didn't know where it came from. It brought a strange and inexplicable aura for no reason, and it also affected her most powerful consciousness... She pursed her lips, and a trace of black air rose between her eyebrows. As one of the ten great demon kings, she killed gods and Buddhas in her previous life, and she would never allow such a mysterious danger to exist in her...

She moved her fingertips slightly, and a ray of blood-red light rose from her fingertips. This was the "spiritual consciousness thread" that she condensed outside her body and became substantial.

Li Mo's most powerful weapon now is the divine consciousness in her sea of ​​consciousness. She condensed it out of her body and turned it into a solid thread, and then attached it to the red blood condensed from her blood essence, which became her weapon at this time and was named "Hong Lun". She drew out ten strands and spread them in all directions, using the divine silk as a medium to explore everything in the outside world.

However, after traveling for dozens of breaths, the Honglun Divine Silk did not send back any message, indicating that she was still in an infinitely empty and dark area.

Li Mo swallowed a pill of Ningxi Pill, which would ensure that she would not need to breathe fresh air for three days and three nights, and could swim freely like a fish in water. This was one of the medicines that the disciples of Wentian Sect were given out on a regular basis.
