"Do you want to join me, or explore elsewhere? Or leave Hive Star."
Lin Mo stood up and said.
Yun Xi and Master Jiu Xiang exchanged a glance and said, "Lin Tanyu, weâve come this time only for the âGhost Flame Fruitâ. Now that weâve obtained it, I want to return with my master and hand the âGhost Flame Fruitâ to my father so he can recover as soon as possible."
Lin Mo nodded, "Lady Yun, then you should return first."
This time, the original goal of Yun Xi and the others was to obtain the âGhost Flame Fruitâ, and now that itâs fulfilled, they naturally wanted to go back quickly to give the âGhost Flame Fruitâ to Cheng Jiao. As for exploring other parts of the Netherworld Pattern Masterâs Tomb, they temporarily lacked the ambition due to their current strength, even if they found treasures, there are three City Lords here and they wonât have a share.
"What about the three City Lords?"
Lin Mo looked at Jiang Rushi and the other two with a faint smile and asked.
"Lin Tanyu, we came to Hive Star hoping to gather more treasures. Unfortunately, Lin Tanyu, youâre too domineering, devouring all the treasures by yourself, leaving us with mere scraps. Is this what collaboration means?" Jiang Rushi smiled faintly, her eyes filled with captivating charm, seemingly a bit resentful.
"Indeed, Lin Tanyu, your strength is formidable, but if the three of us join forces, itâs not guaranteed that youâll have the upper hand." Feng Ji said.
Lin Mo glanced at Heng Yi, who remained silent.
"So, what do the three of you plan to do? There are many passages here, you can look for treasures elsewhere." Lin Mo said.
Jiang Rushi moved beside Lin Mo, her subtle fragrance again invaded Lin Moâs nostrils, her gaze charming, and she smiled, "Lin Tanyu, didnât you just obtain a Key? I think that Key is surely used to unlock some secret treasure. If Lin Tanyu wishes to cooperate with us, donât devour it when you find the treasure."
Lin Mo pondered secretly, the Ancient Key indeed possessed a guiding summon power, besides that, there was also a map of this Netherworld Pattern Masterâs Tomb. With this Key, Lin Mo had a strong advantage, but similarly, this Tomb was filled with dangers, having three Star Domain Level experts could resolve many dangers.
"What does City Lord Jiang want then?" Lin Mo asked.
Jiang Rushi smiled gently, "My idea is simple, if we find treasures, Lin Tanyu, you can naturally take more, but the three of us must get some as well."
"Thatâs no problem, Iâve come to find the Netherworld Pattern Masterâs legacy, if we encounter other treasures, I can share them with you." Lin Mo thought for a while and nodded.
Jiang Rushi received the response, pursed her bright lips, and smiled, "City Lord Feng Ji, City Lord Heng Yi, surely you donât want to leave empty-handed, do you? How about we cooperate, and the treasures in this Netherworld Pattern Masterâs Tomb will all be ours."
Feng Ji frowned and said, "Alright, I agree. Having come to Hive Star with so much effort, we canât leave without any gains."
"City Lord Heng Yi, what do you think? In this world, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. I donât think I need to explain this to you." Jiang Rushi looked at Heng Yi and smiled.
"Alright, Iâm not content with just getting a copy of the Netherworld Technique Secret Manual." Heng Yi gritted his teeth and agreed.
Lin Mo nodded and glanced at Jiang Rushi, this woman was not simple, a few words and she made them reach a cooperation.
"Alright, letâs continue exploring this Netherworld Power Tomb, but everything must follow my lead, otherwise if an accident happens, no one will survive." Lin Mo said seriously.
"Lin Tanyu, weâll head back first. Iâll wait for you on the Tiancheng Continent. Without you, we wouldnât have gotten the âGhost Flame Fruitâ so easily. When you return, my father will certainly give you a proper welcome." Yun Xi smiled at Lin Mo.
"Hmm." Lin Mo nodded.
The two groups were ready, Yun Xi, Fan Dong, and Hu Lie prepared to return to Sky City Continent, while Lin Mo, Mr. Ying, and the three City Lords planned to continue exploring the Netherworld Pattern Masterâs Tomb.
Feng Ji and Heng Yiâs faces suddenly changed.
"Not good, there are invaders!"
"Moreover, there are many of them, at least several thousand."
Lin Mo frowned, Hive Star was located in a corner of the cosmos, Cheng Jiao discovered this place by chance, without the Star Sky Coordinates, finding Hive Star was extremely difficult, and a movement of thousands clearly indicated premeditated plans.
"Who leaked the Star Sky Coordinates?" Lin Moâs gaze instantly fixed on Jiang Rushiâs face, eyes shining sharply.
Jiang Rushiâs face turned slightly pale and she smiled, "What, Lin Tanyu suspects I leaked Hive Starâs Star Sky Coordinates?"
"A bit suspicious!" Lin Mo squinted slightly, his spiritual power already sensing numerous powerful auras appearing in the passages, numbering at least in the thousands, and among them were many Star Domain Level experts, besides a particularly dangerous aura.
"Go, we canât stay here, theyâve detected our presence!"
Lin Mo shouted.
Yun Xi, Fan Dong, Zhong Shiming, Hu Lie and othersâ faces changed dramatically, under such circumstances, if they wanted to leave, it would lead to a dead end.
Swish!
After Lin Mo spoke, he immediately led the group towards the large black passage ahead, looking back, he saw Jiang Rushi standing there with a sly cold smile on her lips.
"This damn woman, who knows what entity she provoked, actually led people here!" Feng Ji cursed loudly.
"I knew something was off with her." Heng Yi cursed.
"Lin Tanyu, what do we do now?" Yun Xi frowned, anxious.
Those powerful presences in the passage numbered in the thousands, more people might be pouring into Hive Star, among them, there are at least more than ten Star Domain Level experts, such a lineup surpasses even Tiancheng Continent.
"Hive Starâs inner passages are interconnected, even with their numbers, it would take time to enter a passage simultaneously, we should be able to shake them off." Lin Mo frowned, Divine Sea surfacing with a map of Hive Starâs tomb.
"This way, turn left!"
"Right, right, then right!"
The group darted through different black passages like startled birds, fortunately, the interior of Hive Star was like a maze; otherwise, it wouldnât take two minutes for those entering Hive Star to completely encircle them.
...
In the secret chamber just now.
Jiang Rushi stood still, and then at the entrance of the passage ahead, appeared a bewitching man clad in light blue armor, long silver hair draped over his shoulders, his devilish visage carried a somewhat sinister aura and paleness.
"Jiang Rushi, greeting Lord Yin Shang." Jiang Rushi bowed.
