What was this sensation?
She had never felt anything like this from anyone before.
Cold, chaotic, and still.
It was as if she stood before a bottomless abyss.
The chill emanating from its depths made her shudder.
Even her soul…
trembled at that moment!
A wave of intense fear washed over her.
Soon, she sensed that the abyss had become aware of her presence.
It slowly turned, as if to return her gaze.
In reality, Lu Mo also turned her head.
Yet, she still didn’t see the woman.
—Isanti had already activated a spatial teleportation and vanished from behind them.
Lu Mo cast a cold glance at the empty street behind her.
She was certain that a woman had just passed by her side.
And more than likely, she had used a perception-type combat skill on her and Cecilia.
“What’s wrong, Miss Lu Mo?”
Cecilia followed Lu Mo’s gaze backward. Seeing no one, she spoke with some confusion.
“Nothing.”
Lu Mo replied, signaling Cecilia to rest assured.
“Final Annihilation, did you sense it?”
Lu Mo once again awakened the woman within the Sword of Final Annihilation.
Soon, the woman’s voice sounded:
“Of course I did.”
“But that doesn’t seem like simple probing…”
“However, this level of divine power is far from enough to penetrate my shielding.”
“Relying on divine power, her perception far exceeds ordinary people, but it’s destined to be unable to see through my great master.”
“I can feel that probing force contains an aura I despise—God-blood and divine power…”
“All she could see was nothing but a cold, empty darkness.”
The woman answered, not forgetting to praise Lu Mo once more.
“It couldn’t penetrate?”
Lu Mo murmured.
Indeed.
Just now, she too had felt a probing force approach her.
The probing force came swiftly but never managed to seep even a fraction into her body.
And just as she turned around to see the owner of that probing force, the other party vanished in an instant.
Clearly, she was quite alert.
And for some reason…
that probing force felt familiar to Lu Mo.
“Probing force… Divine power…”
Currently, the Holy Sanctuary had no suspicions about her identity.
So who would suddenly want to probe her today?
Ah, the Liat family.
And the God-blood family they allied with through marriage—the Priscian family.
That divine power seemed very similar to the one Solaris had once used.
At that moment, in a corner of the Holy Capital.
A woman’s figure suddenly emerged from space.
She staggered forward a few steps, nearly falling.
Gripping her temples tightly, her body trembled, and she showed an extremely pained expression.
“Cough… cough, cough, cough…”
She coughed, her entire presence now extremely unstable.
“What… what is that chill all about?”
She murmured, her voice trembling with shock.
She came from the God-blood family—the Priscian family, born with extraordinary perception.
She could perceive the essence of this world more deeply and sense existences ordinary people couldn’t.
But precisely because of this talent, it somewhat affected her family’s mental state.
The woman’s neuroticism was largely due to this transcendent perception.
And because of that perception…
she had just felt just how terrifying that chill was in that instant!
It felt like if she were even a moment slower, her entire soul might be swallowed by that abyss!
She couldn’t tell if it was due to sensory overload from using God-blood secret arts, or if Lu Mo truly possessed such power.
So, before the young girl turned around, she hastily activated a spatial teleportation combat skill and instantly left the spot.
The God’s Eye Vision was forcibly interrupted as a result.
She suffered backlash, and her entire spirit became even more twisted and chaotic.
It took a long time before her complexion regained some color.
Her dazed gaze gradually regained focus.
Supporting herself against the wall, pale-faced, she kept coughing.
She muttered quietly:
“That young girl… is Lu Mo…”
“Lu Mo…”
“That chill, that abyss-like aura… what… is it really?”
“Even if it’s sensory overload, that chill amplified several times…”
“Then… that is absolutely not an aura a young girl whose talent and realm were both destroyed should possess.”
“Moreover, it’s not an aura a human should have!”
Thinking this, the chill once again swept over her entire body.
She shuddered all over, hugged herself tightly, and slowly crouched down.
“No…”
“She… has a problem…”
“A huge problem…”
The woman spoke quietly amidst her mental confusion.
So, the probing in the evening came from Solaris’s mother’s family?
The Liat family, as expected, wouldn’t let things go so easily?
That night, Lu Mo and Cecilia rented a room with a large bed.
From the moment she entered the room and sat by the window, Lu Mo kept pondering such questions.
“Miss Lu Mo, would you like some pineapple?”
“No, you go ahead.”
“Oh…”
“Miss Lu Mo, the water is boiling. Want some?”
“No, you first.”
“Alright then…”
“Miss Lu Mo, look at my new underwear. Does it look good?”
“Let me see first… Mm, it’s pretty.”
Throughout this, Cecilia kept inviting Lu Mo to do various things.
But Lu Mo was thinking about other things and subconsciously refused them all.
She didn’t even notice that Cecilia’s new underwear was completely different from before.
It wasn’t cute—it was a bit sexy.
Cecilia had been nervous and anxious several times when she extended these invitations.
Her golden antenna stood up, restlessly swaying in the air.
And every time Lu Mo refused, the standing antenna drooped dejectedly.
Having spent so much time with Lu Mo, she knew that when Lu Mo had that expression, she was probably thinking about serious matters.
But…
Why did these matters have to come up right now!
“Miss Lu Mo, want to sleep together?”
It was already very late.
Cecilia still wasn’t giving up, whispering the question.
For some reason, her voice carried a hint of grievance.
“It’s okay, Cecilia. You rest first. I’ll join you on the bed soon.”
“Mm… then, good night, Miss Lu Mo?”
“Good night.”
Cecilia lay down on the big bed, feeling disappointed and a strong sense of unwillingness.
Just who was it!
Who made Miss Lu Mo think so long and couldn’t sleep with her!
If she ever found out…
The girl lay in bed, making soft breathing sounds.
She seemed a bit restless, rolling around, occasionally kneading the sheets, rubbing her cheek against them.
She softly called out Lu Mo’s name.
Before long, Cecilia gradually fell asleep.
At that moment, Lu Mo glanced sideways at the sleeping Cecilia.
Moonlight streamed through the window, casting a silver glow on Cecilia’s golden hair.
She seemed to be draped in a light veil at this moment.
Peaceful and beautiful.
She was smiling, as if having a very pleasant dream.
What kind of dream was it?
Was she playing with herself?
Lu Mo thought, letting out a soft laugh, and murmured:
“What a carefree fool…”
If she could, she wished Cecilia could always be carefree and happy.
Lu Mo didn’t go back to bed to sleep.
She remained on guard, wary of the woman’s reappearance.
Though she knew the woman wouldn’t dare to actually make a move in the Holy Capital, being cautious was always best.
And so the night passed.
On the way back to the family from the Holy Capital, the woman didn’t appear again.
The crisis seemed to have been resolved.
Both returned safely.
On the way back, Lu Mo continued pondering some questions.
Why did the woman suddenly vanish?
Was it because she hadn’t found anything wrong?
Or had she sensed something?
Would she appear again?
Then, a few more days passed.
In the Liat family estate.
Just as Gellenson returned to the family, he saw the living room in complete disarray.
Documents were scattered everywhere—some opened, some torn, some taped to the table…
Several recording crystals were shattered, with shards on the floor.
“Isanti?”
Looking ahead, Gellenson saw the neurotic woman flipping through document after document, muttering to herself.
She seemed to have gone days without sleep.
Her hair was a mess, and her nightgown was stained with something—maybe blood, maybe coffee.
“Lu Mo…”
“The youngest daughter of the Kalis family, tested at age seven to have no divine power talent.”
“But at ten, she defeated a boy her age who later became a Sequence Hero…”
“She also disappeared for several years…”
“After reappearing, she caused a big scene at the Class Determination Ceremony, consecutively defeating the Sacred Dragon Knight, the Sequence Hero…”
“Then, what happened at the Holy Demon Barrier…”
“She stepped into the Heaven’s Domain realm before Solaris…”
“She hindered my Solaris, she defeated my Solaris…”
“Plus the feeling she gave me some time ago…”
The woman’s voice grew faster, and her hands gripping the documents trembled more violently.
“She’s not right, she’s problematic!”
Some time ago?
Had Isanti done something to Lu Mo while he was away from the family?
Gellenson was startled.
He immediately asked:
“Isanti, did you see Lu Mo?”
“Yes.”
The woman replied without looking up.
“What did you do to her?”
Gellenson suddenly became nervous.
Lu Mo was a hero now. If they actually laid a hand on her, the Liat family’s reputation would definitely suffer!
“I didn’t do anything. I just sensed her presence.”
Isanti said.
As if sensing the reproach in Gellenson’s tone, she raised her head and glared at him.
“Shut up, you coward!”
Gellenson’s face paled, and he reluctantly shut his mouth.
“I know my limits. But I won’t be as cowardly as you.”
The woman added.
Soon, she started muttering to herself again.
She kept saying that Lu Mo might be problematic.
“Lu Mo… problematic?”
Gellenson finally spoke again when the woman stopped glaring at him.
“Yes, problematic.”
The woman replied, her face growing paler.
“So, to thoroughly figure this out, I need you to obtain an object related to her and come back to the family with me.”
“I need to use the family artifact…”
“To truly see… her fate.”
