"Those people have already escaped?" Yin Shang glanced at Jiang Rushi, then his gaze settled on the platform in the chamber, which was empty, though some residual energy hadnât completely dissipated.
"Lord Yin Shang, there were some anomalies in this operation." Jiang Rushi hesitated before speaking, pursing her lips, "Originally, I planned to lure Feng Ji and Heng Yi to Hive Star for an adventure to search for treasure, but unexpectedly, Lin Tayu appeared halfway through."
"Lin Tayu?"
Yin Shang turned his head, his gaze landing on Jiang Rushiâs face, a glint flickering deep within his eyes.
Jiang Rushi didnât dare flaunt her charm in front of this man, knowing he wouldnât fall for it. She said, "Lord Yin Shang, do you know this person?" "Never met, but the Five Primus Sect was destroyed by him, and I also know he possesses a Star Domain-level Golden Corpse." Yin Shangâs lips curved into a sinister arc, extending a hand pale and smooth as jade, slowly clenching his five fingers, "However, I am
quite interested to see what kind of deity this Lin Tayu really is."
Jiang Rushi didnât expect Lin Tayuâs fame to be so extensive, even Lord Yin Shang had heard of him.
"A Star Domain-level Golden Corpse Puppet? This guy sure knows how to hide his strength."
Yin Shang looked at Jiang Rushi and asked, "Anything else to report?" "Reporting, my Lord, the chamber originally contained three treasures: a high-level Netherworld Technique secret manual, a space ring, and an ancient key." Jiang Rushi nodded, "Iâve already copied the high-level secret manual, as for the space ring, it contained some Netherworld Pills,
but the most mysterious is that ancient key which I believe is the key to unlocking another treasure."
"Ancient key?" Yin Shang squinted his eyes, murmuring to himself, "I must obtain this key."
"Any other information?" Yin Shang stared intensely at Jiang Rushi.
Jiang Rushiâs eyes were indifferent, gently shaking her head, "Thatâs all."
She concealed the information about Lin Mo owning an Ultimate Weapon. "Jiang Rushi, youâve got some nerve." Suddenly, Yin Shangâs eyes widened, his gaze icy. With a swift palm strike, he hit Jiang Rushiâs chest, sending her flying. She dared not use True Yuan to block, as a striking trail of blood seeped from her delicate lips.
Jiang Rushiâs expression changed dramatically.
Yin Shang quickly approached, grabbing Jiang Rushiâs chin, lifting her head, sneering coldly, "He should have an Ultimate Weapon on him too. Such critical information, you dare conceal from me? Planning to let him kill me with it?"
"I, Lord Yin Shang, I wouldnât dare." Jiang Rushiâs eyes contracted sharply.
When Lin Mo exterminated the Five Primus Sect, he used an Ultimate Weapon; Yin Shang already knew this intelligence.
"You wouldnât dare?" Yin Shang sneered, "Jiang Rushi, Iâm telling you, youâll never escape from the Venerableâs grasp in this lifetime. Iâll let this slide this time, but dare deceive me again, and Iâll ensure you wish for death over life."
"Cough, cough!"
Jiang Rushi coughed lightly twice, her pretty face pale, "Lord Yin Shang, I wouldnât dare."
"Hmph!"
Yin Shang snorted coldly, throwing Jiang Rushi to the ground, flicking his fingers, as a dark pill appeared before her, "This time you found Hive Star, the Venerable instructed me to bring a âNine Crow Pillâ for you."
Jiang Rushi took the pill, swallowing it directly, "Thank you, Lord Yin Shang, thank you, Venerable!"
"Golden Corpse, Ultimate Weapon? Tsk tsk." Yin Shang, ignoring Jiang Rushi, shifted his gaze to the black passageway ahead, "A Star System realm small fry possessing such treasures is no good, only inviting a fatal disaster upon himself."
...
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The sound of wind breaking resounded within the passage.
"This way, follow me."
Lin Mo grabbed Lady Yunâs wrist, weaving through the passage like a phantom, others exerting all their might too, as a large group of intruders pursued them, among whom were Star Domain-level experts closing in relentlessly.
Luckily, the passage was not straight, with other openings and curves emerging unexpectedly. Otherwise, with the speed of Star Domain experts, theyâd catch up in no time, yet even so, the distance between them was rapidly closing.
"Lin Tayu, what do we do, theyâre gaining on us." Lady Yun flushed with anxiety, urging.
Lin Mo furrowed his sword-like eyebrows, knowing their current strength left no chance of victory facing these foes head-on!
"Star Feather Insect!"
Lin Mo gritted his teeth, awakening the Star Feather Insect in the space ring. Instantly, twenty-eight Star Feather Insects appeared, each like an awakened beast, vibrating their thin wings behind their spines.
Feng Ji, Heng Yi, Lady Yun, Fan Dong, and others showed surprise in their eyes, not expecting Lin Mo to control so many alien insects, each possessing Star System-level strength!
"Star Feather Insects, kill for me." Lin Moâs eyes reddened.
Buzz buzz buzz...
Twenty-eight Star Feather Insects rapidly flew toward the rear.
Without pause, Lin Moâs figure darted towards the black opening ahead, with the Star Feather Insects slowing the pursuit somewhat, but this would lead to their sure annihilation.
In the face of life and death, he couldnât afford to be sentimental.
Ahead, a massive chamber emerged, with black passages leading in three directions.
"If we all escape together, weâll be caught eventually. You escape through these two passages, Iâll wait here to divert them." Lin Mo said calmly, frowning with sword-like brows.
"No way, Lord Lin Tayu, I invited you for this adventure, how could I let you brave this alone?" Lady Yun frowned, shaking her head vigorously.
Lin Mo said, "Nowâs not the time for debate, if we escape together, itâs a dead end, splitting up might offer a chance of survival!"
"Lady Yun, Lord Lin Tayu is right, besides, everyone sees Lord Lin Tayuâs prowess clearly, us tagging along would only burden him." Master Jiuxiang agreed.
Feng Ji and Heng Yi didnât waste any words, they led their followers swiftly through the left black passageway.
Unable to resist, Lady Yun was dragged into the right passage by Fan Dong and Master Jiuxiang.
"Lin Tayu, be careful." Lady Yun urged.
"Lord Lin Tayu, Jiuxiang will always remember this favor."
As soon as the words left his lips, a group of people moved into the right black passage, leaving Lin Mo alone in the chamber.
"Damn, my Star Feather Insects." Lin Moâs face showed heartache. Each Star Feather Insect shared a blood connection with him; he sensed each oneâs demise. Every Star Feather Insect required a million Netherworld Stones to be born, and nurturing them later was crucial, with them falling one after another, how could Lin Mo not
feel heartache? No matter how wealthy, such expenses were not viable!
Once all Star Feather Insects perished, the sound of wind breaking filled the chamber anew. Soon, a group flooded into the chamber!
