"Meng Die, no matter what troubles you have, I will bring you back to my side."
Lin Moās gaze fell into the distance, towards the center of the Realm of Relics, his eyes shimmering with a determined light, then he transformed into a black wind and swiftly swept away.
In the Realm of Relics, shadows flitted all around, occasionally accompanied by cheers, clearly indicating the discovery of exciting treasures.
In some places, there were intense energy fluctuations, likely due to fierce battles over treasures.
At the center of the Realm of Relics, a grand and vast square unfolded before everyoneās eyes, the square was polygonal, its ground paved with a special kind of slate, and its area exceeding a hundred thousand square meters.
The ground was etched with lines, several feet deep and half a foot wide, resembling sword cuts. Each line was straight, forming an extremely complex and ancient pattern, densely covering the entire square ground.
At the very center of the square, towering stone pillars stood. Each stone pillar was a hundred meters tall with a diameter of a hundred meters, densely packed, probably numbering in the thousands, engraved with lifelike ancient beast patterns, exuding a faint suppression.
Ten people from the Great Demon Palace and the Ice Origin Palace were already standing at the center of this square, surrounded by numerous Cultivators. These people evidently came for the Ice Emperorās relics as well.
However, they maintained a certain distance from the squareās center, among them were experts with Intermediate Star System Level cultivation, but such a lineup was still insufficient to compete with the Great Demon Palace and the Ice Origin Palace. These people came with a mentality to fish in troubled waters, hoping to gain something amid the conflict between the Great Demon Palace and the Ice Origin Palace.
After all, this was the Ice Emperorās relics!
Lin Mo had witnessed the Ice Emperorās relics more than once. Anywhere the Ice Emperor once resided became an Ice Emperor relic; the Ice Emperorās footprints spanned the universe, leaving many relics. Acquiring even a bit could lead to meteoric success.
During the Holy Era, only two Emperor-level experts existed in the universeāone was the Ice Emperor, the other the Emperor Shang. Since their disappearance, no Emperor-level expert has arisen in the universe for tens of thousands of years.
Lin Mo stood at a distance, transforming his soul into the Devil Cold Flame Soul, the dark aura on his body dissipating.
"Mr. Lin." A voice of surprise sounded, as a figure dashed towards Lin Mo.
This person was Zhou Xinyue.
She had speculated that Lin Mo would surely come to the center square of the Realm of Relics to compete for the Ice Emperorās relics, so she gave up searching for treasures to follow, unexpectedly encountering Lin Mo.
"Xinyue." Lin Mo smiled faintly upon seeing her.
"I knew you werenāt dead, youāre Lin Tanyu, arenāt you?" Zhou Xinyue blinked excitedly. She also sensed the intense True Yuan fluctuations within Lin Mo, even though they were retracted; Lin Mo had advanced to the Star System Level Early Stage.
Lin Mo nodded, but his gaze was fixed firmly ahead.
Zhou Xinyue followed his gaze to where the Great Demon Palace and the Ice Origin Palace were located.
"The treasure left by the Ice Emperor must be here!" Fu Mo looked up at the sky, a sullen chill crossing his face.
The Holy Daughter of the Ice Origin Palace also surveyed the stone pillars around her, her face calm and emotionless.
Fu Mo turned his head to look at the Holy Daughter and smiled, "Holy Daughter, if you hand over the Ice Emperorās relic to me, how about I give you a million Moonlight Stones?"
"Iāll give you a million Moonlight Stones for you to leave now," the Ice Origin Palace Holy Daughter replied softly, looking at him.
"Fine, since neither of us is willing to give in, letās see who can claim the treasure and heritage left by the Ice Emperor." Fu Mo licked his lips, a cold, sinister gleam sparking deep in his pupils.
As they were speaking, a figure suddenly leaped in front of the five from the Ice Origin Palace.
This unexpected change drew the attention of everyone in the square to this figure.
Upon seeing the figure appear, one of the women from the Ice Origin Palace was momentarily stunned and exclaimed, "Is it you?"
This figure was none other than Lin Mo, and the speaking Ice Origin Palace woman was Bai Ling, who had witnessed Lin Mo slay two Intermediate Star System Level experts on the mountain peak.
"Senior Sister Bai Ling, you know him?" a woman from the Ice Origin Palace asked suspiciously.
"Heās the one who slew the Netherworld Sect Great Elder and Li Ling on the mountain peak, heās quite strong," Bai Ling said softly.
The other women from the Ice Origin Palace looked at Lin Mo, black hair tousled, deep eyes like the sea, his face bearing a hint of scholarly air, and they were somewhat astonished. Although Lin Mo was only at the Star System Level Early Stage, being able to slay two Intermediate Star System Level experts made him a genius expert.
Thus, those eyes filled with contempt and disdain quickly retracted considerably.
"Kid, what are you doing here? Do you want the heritage inside the Ice Emperorās relics, too?" Bai Ling frowned at Lin Mo.
Lin Mo shook his head, his gaze never leaving the Ice Origin Palaceās Holy Daughter, who remained expressionless, like an eternal iceberg, cold enough to deter anyone from approaching. "Compared to the treasures inside the Ice Emperorās relics, I want her. Nothing from the Ice Emperorās treasure is worth more than a single strand of her hair."
At these words, the pupils of the four Ice Origin Palace disciples shrank to pinpoints, their faces aghast, even the people from the Great Demon Palace were momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter.
"This kid is even hornier than me. Everyone knows the Ice Origin Palaceās Holy Daughter Lianxin Fairy is unmatched in beauty, but anyone daring to pursue her will meet a dire fate."
"Haha, this kid is a hungry ghost, but heās got guts!"
"Tsk tsk, heāll have a bad time later for daring to flirt with Luo Immortal."
Upon hearing this, the Ice Origin Palace Holy Daughterās face remained devoid of expression, but Lin Mo keenly noticed a fleeting emotional fluctuation deep within her eyes that was almost imperceptible.
"Kid, are you seeking death, daring to flirt with our Ice Origin Palaceās Holy Daughter?" Bai Lingās expression changed, immediately shouting angrily.
The other three Ice Origin Palace Holy Daughters also showed anger, their True Yuan starting to ripple. Lin Mo was indeed a genius, but he was only at the Star System Level Early Stage, and the Ice Origin Palaceās Holy Daughter could not be sullied by anyone!
"Bai Ling." Luo Lianxinās lips parted softly.
Bai Ling and the three Ice Origin Palace women were momentarily bewildered. In their impressions, Luo Immortal was icy, and disrespectful words had dire consequences, so they didnāt know why the Holy Daughter intervened to stop them.
"Holy Daughter, he insulted you...if we donāt teach him a lesson, heāll think our Ice Origin Palace is easy to bully." Bai Ling grinded her teeth and glared viciously at Lin Mo.
"Let it be, I once met him before, and we could be considered acquaintances," Luo Lianxin said softly.
Lin Mo stared at Luo Immortal, convinced that the Ice Origin Palaceās Luo Immortal was Xia Mengdie. If Xia Mengdie hadnāt intervened once before, he would have died at Su Yuanās hands. Lin Moās eyes reddened, "Meng Die, do you still recognize me? Why donāt you acknowledge me? Is there something troubling you? Whatever your troubles, tell me, and I will help you solve them."
