59: Chapter 59 The Traitor Has Been Revealed! Extreme Danger!
"Whew!"
Li Mo let out a long breath. Even though he had practiced the Taowu and Qiongqi flying knives to the point where they almost never missed their mark, it was extremely draining on his physical strength and energy.
It was no exaggeration to say that controlling these two flying knives continuously for an hour was equivalent to Li Mo doing two days of non-stop physical training.
And that was just for two flying knives!
Li Mo's own father, Li Le, could control twelve flying knives simultaneously!
The manual left behind by Li Le clearly stated that what consumed the most energy when using the Twelve Rakshasa Knives was actually Divine Soul Power.
And to cultivate Divine Soul Power, one needed to be at the Sanhe Realm or above.
Li Mo couldn't believe what level his father's cultivation realm had actually reached.
Because being above the Sanhe Realm was merely the entry level for Divine Soul Power; to control twelve flying knives at once, how powerful must that Divine Soul Power be?
Originally, Li Mo's realm shouldn't have allowed him to control even two flying knives. Perhaps it was because he practiced the Chaos Star Art, giving him early insight into Divine Soul Power, that he could achieve this.
Li Mo then retracted the two flying knives; his training for the day was over.
In the past, Li Mo could train physically all day without issue, but since he started practicing with the flying knives these past few days, he felt drained of all strength in less than an hour.
After returning home, Li Mo immediately ordered a large meal to replenish the energy he had expended.
For the past few days, he had been alone at home, quietly waiting for news about the mole at Starry Sky University.
It was strange; after returning from Starry Sky University that day, Li Mo had predicted the mole would show up within two days, but now three full days had passed, and the other party hadn't made a single move.
This guy certainly knew how to keep his cool!
But Li Mo was even more patient. If it didn't happen in two days, he would wait three; if not three, then seven. Hearing that their contact had been captured, the other side should be the one more anxious now.
After eating his fill, Li Mo planned to meditate to consolidate his mental cultivation.
Just at that moment, Li Mo heard a knock at the door.
Li Mo's expression immediately became cautious. Whoever was knocking at this time was most likely the mole.
However, when he looked through the crack in the door, he discovered that the visitors were actually Xu Feng and Zheng Jiahao!
Li Mo was momentarily speechless. He had already warned the two of them that he needed to wait for the target alone these days and told them not to come looking for him.
Danger was one aspect, but on the other hand, too many people could cause the mole to be too afraid to make a move.
Li Mo had no choice but to open the door helplessly. However, at this moment, Li Mo noticed that their expressions were very wrong; both Zheng Jiahao and Xu Feng looked extremely tense.
Just then, a dark figure suddenly emerged from behind them.
"Li Mo, don't move!"
When Li Mo saw the person's face clearly, he was instantly shocked; this person was actually Starry Sky University's Dean of Students, Huang Zhongze!
At this moment, Huang Zhongze didn't have his usual arrogant and domineering appearance at all; it was as if he had become a different person. Furthermore, he should have been at the Blood Transformation Realm, but now Li Mo could sense that his cultivation was at the Liangyi Realm!
Just as Li Mo was feeling astonished, another person walked out from behind Huang Zhongze. This person was one of the senior leaders of Starry Sky University whom Li Mo had met before. If he remembered correctly, this person's name was Senior Leader Sun Yunan.
"Li Mo, you are still too naive!" Senior Leader Sun Yunan walked over slowly with a faint, elusive smile on his face.
Li Mo hadn't even figured out the situation when he saw Huang Zhongze push Xu Feng and Zheng Jiahao into the room. What was strange was that the two of them didn't put up the slightest resistance.
After entering the room, Senior Leader Sun Yunan said slowly, "Li Mo, you were sent by the higher-ups to investigate us, right? Making such a big fuss just to find out who had been in contact with those people in The Military, isn't that a bit too much effort?"
At this time, Huang Zhongze also laughed, "Heh, this brat thought his plan was clever! Who would have thought we would have discovered it long ago!"
The two men's words undoubtedly confirmed that they were the moles, but Li Mo couldn't figure out how they had known about his plan.
Just as Li Mo hesitated, Huang Zhongze pushed both Xu Feng and Zheng Jiahao to the ground.
"Li Mo, let me tell you, I've placed a restriction on these two brothers of yours. If you don't cooperate in the slightest from now on, these two will immediately go meet the King of Hell!"
Huang Zhongze's words didn't seem fake. Moreover, seeing that Xu Feng and Zheng Jiahao didn't say a word, combined with their nervous expressions, it was clear that the two of them could indeed die at any moment.
Li Mo finally understood the reason why the mole hadn't appeared for so long; they had been looking for an opportunity to strike at Xu Feng and Zheng Jiahao.
Only by using these two could they threaten Li Mo.
At this moment, Senior Leader Sun Yunan and Huang Zhongze clearly held the upper hand. Senior Leader Sun Yunan said slowly, "Li Mo, I ask you, who exactly sent you to investigate us? And what is the situation with those people in The Military?"
Li Mo remained silent about this because he hadn't fully grasped the current situation.
Ultimately, he didn't think there was anything wrong with his plan.
No matter how one looked at it, he had come back to school this time for revenge.
Moreover, this mission of his was issued directly by the Marshal of The Military, and fewer than three people had handled it.
If it came to who was most likely to betray them, it could only be Zhang Ruxue, but Li Mo trusted Zhang Ruxue absolutely.
"Do you think you can just stay silent?"
Suddenly, Huang Zhongze kicked Xu Feng and Zheng Jiahao.
Then he sneered, revealing a cruel smile, "These two brothers of yours told us everything under our methods! We know you came to investigate us; we just came over to find out the details we didn't know from you!"
"And also, hand over the Chaos Star Art you have!"
Only then did Li Mo finally understand the general picture, and because of that, he breathed a sigh of relief.
It was because of this sentence from Huang Zhongze that Li Mo realized he had been betrayed by Xu Feng and Zheng Jiahao!
Li Mo wouldn't dare to speak for others, but if it were these two betraying him, Li Mo wouldn't believe it for a second.
Huang Zhongze and Senior Leader Sun Yunan simply didn't trust Li Mo, which was why they staged this whole scene!
The goal was just to threaten Li Mo using Xu Feng and Zheng Jiahao!
In other words, it was just to scare Li Mo.
Li Mo had almost believed it for real!
I'm afraid that if Li Mo had admitted it just now, these two would have killed them immediately and run away.
Thinking of this, Li Mo immediately changed his expression and pointed at Xu Feng and Zheng Jiahao, "If you two don't trust me, just say so; why go through all this trouble? Do you think I'm easy to scare because I'm young?"
While saying this, Li Mo saw Zheng Jiahao trying hard to squeeze out a tiny smile.
Li Mo immediately understood that he had bet correctly!
Xu Feng and Zheng Jiahao must have been interrogated by Huang Zhongze and Senior Leader Sun Yunan before, but the two of them hadn't cracked, so these two moles had no choice but to drag Xu Feng and Zheng Jiahao over to confront him!
