Seizing Destiny From Heavens Hands

Chapter 302: Addressing the Status of the Young Sect Master

Shen Mo chuckled softly at the comment.

Before long, he embraced Murong Yue tightly, despite her initial startled gasp.

At first, Murong Yue struggled, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment as she tried to free herself.

But Shen Mo's arms felt as unyielding as steel, making it impossible for her to escape.

In the end, she had no choice but to resign herself to his embrace, leaning against his chest.

"Ahem…"

Ouyang Wei, standing nearby, coughed awkwardly.

He couldn't help but feel out of place witnessing this intimate moment.

"There are others here, you know!" Murong Yue whispered, her voice barely audible.

Shen Mo finally loosened his hold and turned to the others.

"Master, Elder Ouyang, you should return to Qingxuan Sect to clean up the battlefield.

I have some matters to attend to in Green Mountain City."

Murong Yue nodded in understanding.

Shen Mo watched as they left, then headed straight for Green Mountain City.

The Ninth Prince's recent opportunity was rumored to be located at Flying Swallow Bluff, just over two hundred miles south of Green Mountain City.

Besides, Shen Mo also had a personal matter to address there—bringing his father, Shen Jiuding, back with him.

Traveling by controlling his energy, Shen Mo streaked across the sky like a bolt of lightning.

Before long, he arrived at a massive, peculiar rock formation that jutted out dramatically, resembling a swallow in flight.

This was Flying Swallow Bluff, named after its distinct shape.

Shen Mo scouted the area carefully and soon discovered the lair of the Gold-Eating Mice.

Inside, he found several pink, chubby baby mice huddled together, their eyes not yet open.

Sensing Shen Mo's presence, the baby mice let out terrified squeals, scattering in confusion.

Shen Mo chuckled but didn't disturb them. Instead, he carefully searched the lair.

After a while, he uncovered something hidden beneath the soft straw—a set of incomplete pages from the first three levels of the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique!

"Got it!"

Shen Mo nodded with satisfaction and quickly left, heading toward Green Mountain City.

Green Mountain City's remote location had spared it from the demon clan's attacks.

Still, the residents were living in fear, dreading the possibility of the demons arriving to devour them.

Some townsfolk had already packed their belongings, preparing to flee the city with their families.

Shen Mo's arrival drew immediate attention.

"That man… he looks like a Daoist!"

"And so young!"

"Wait a moment—doesn't he look just like Doctor Shen? Could he be Doctor Shen's son, Shen Mo?"

When the townsfolk got a good look at his handsome face, they were visibly stunned.

Shen Mo smiled warmly.

"Yes, I am Shen Mo. Could you tell me where my father is?"

The townsfolk, filled with awe and respect, quickly pointed him in the right direction.

Shen Mo clasped his hands in thanks and vanished from sight in an instant.

"He's so fast… What level of cultivation is he at now? And what's his position in Qingxuan Sect?"

"I heard he left Qingxuan Sect long ago to join the more powerful Jade Cauldron Sect."

"What? Really? That's amazing!"

The townsfolk chattered excitedly, though much of their information was outdated.

Many still believed Shen Mo was only a core disciple of Qingxuan Sect.

At Shen Medical Hall, Shen Mo found a slender, middle-aged man bustling about, attending to a seemingly endless stream of patients.

The hall was just as crowded as ever.

"Father, I've come to see you," Shen Mo called out, his deep breath steady as he strode in with purpose.

The middle-aged man froze and turned to the source of the voice.

Shen Mo looked just as youthful as he had in his memories, but the man himself now bore streaks of white in his hair.

"Mo'er… is it really you?"

Shen Jiuding's expression lit up with surprise and joy.

He had never expected Shen Mo to return at such a time.

"Father, I'm here to take you to Jade Cauldron Sect. I've now established myself there and gained a certain standing," Shen Mo said with a smile.

Shen Jiuding hurriedly wiped his hands on his faded robe. "This… this won't do. If I go to Jade Cauldron Sect, won't I just disrupt your cultivation?"

Shen Mo shook his head firmly. "Father, if you fall into danger, that would truly disrupt my cultivation. Trust me, come with me. Even Master has moved to Jade Cauldron Sect. She'll be there to look after you as well."

Shen Jiuding hesitated for a moment before finally nodding. "Alright, I'll go with you. But first, I need to prepare medicine for all the patients here. A healer must never disregard human life."

Shen Mo nodded. "I'll wait for you."

Two hours later, Shen Jiuding had completed prescriptions for all his patients. He packed a few essential items, tidied up the medical hall, and closed its doors.

As he gazed at the wooden plaque above the entrance, a wave of emotion washed over him. "Mo'er, you've grown up now, and perhaps you've forgotten. From the day you were born until you left to study at Qingxuan Sect, you spent your first decade in this very hall. Now, leaving it behind feels a bit hard."

Shen Mo smiled. "You must look to the future, Father. When you're at Jade Cauldron Sect, you can open another medical hall. The world is vast—everywhere can be home."

Shen Jiuding laughed heartily, his sadness dissolving. "You're right. I'm almost fifty years old, and yet I'm more sentimental than you."

"Let's go! Hold on tight, Father!"

With Shen Jiuding securely in tow, Shen Mo flew them to Qingxuan Sect. After a brief conversation with his old acquaintances there, Shen Mo picked up Murong Yue, and the three began their journey northward toward Jade Cauldron Sect.

At Jade Cauldron Sect's Elder Pavilion, the trio descended. Shen Jiuding glanced around at the bustling scene, a hint of nervousness in his expression.

"We'll go to the Elder Pavilion first to help you settle in," Shen Mo said with a smile.

Murong Yue nodded gently. Before they could enter, the steward at the entrance spotted them, his eyes lighting up in recognition. "Young Sect Master, you've returned so quickly! Is Qingxuan Sect alright? Did you encounter Hall Master He on your way?"

Shen Mo smiled and nodded. "Everything is fine. As for Hall Master He, I must have missed him on the way." He chuckled softly.

The steward quickly responded, "There's no need for you to handle these matters personally, Young Sect Master. Leave it to me! And this gentleman is…?" He looked toward Shen Jiuding.

"This is my father," Shen Mo replied. "I'd like to arrange accommodations for him."

The steward was taken aback, his attitude becoming even more respectful. "So, this is the Young Sect Master's father! Rest assured, I'll take care of everything."

"Thank you," Shen Mo said with a nod.

Shen Jiuding, astonished, turned to his son. "Mo'er, you said you had some status in Jade Cauldron Sect. This is what you call some? You're the Young Sect Master!"

Shen Mo laughed lightly. "Father, just relax and enjoy yourself."

Shen Jiuding, overwhelmed with emotion, exclaimed, "Wonderful, wonderful! How did I, Shen Jiuding, deserve the blessing of a son like you?"

The diligent steward led Murong Yue and Shen Jiuding into the Elder Pavilion. Shen Mo didn't linger; instead, he made his way directly to Dragon Snake Mountain.

He could hardly wait to begin practicing the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique. It was the pinnacle of demon clan techniques!

With just a few fragments of this technique, the Demon Emperor had risen from a lowly wolf demon to the invincible ruler he was today. If such power could be achieved from scraps, what heights could Shen Mo reach by mastering it himself?

Seated cross-legged in the wilderness of Dragon Snake Mountain, Shen Mo carefully studied the first level of the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique. After a long while, he exclaimed in awe, "So, this is how it works!"
