Lin Mo was slightly surprised as he looked at the small snake coiled around Huo Que's snow-white wrist. It was a rather formidable treasure, full of spiritual energy. The fiery red snake even had spiritual sentience, flicking its tongue and burning with crimson flames, but these flames did no harm to the woman or her robe.
"It should be a lifebound treasure cultivated, which is why there's such a spiritual connection," Lin Mo pondered in his heart.
Now, three groups of people had already gathered.
Fang Ying and Fang Xian, members of the Star Sky Alliance: one is an advanced realm general, the other an intermediate world general. They seem to have a senior-junior relationship and are likely quite strong together.
Zhu Shan and Huo Que: one is as hulking as an ox, appearing simple and honest outwardly, but no one dares to overlook the oppressive aura he emanates. As for Huo Que, she is extremely fiery and arrogant, not putting Lin Mo or Fang Ying's groups in her eyes from the start. Both of them are advanced realm generals, and their overall strength is the strongest.
According to the pattern on the jade silk, there should be one more group needed to know the location of the treasure.
"Senior brother, that woman is really arrogant, with her superior attitude; I can't stand her," Fang Xian pouted slightly towards Huo Que's direction, expressing displeasure in a secret voice transmission.
Fang Ying smiled helplessly and said, "Junior sister, both of them are advanced realm generals. It's not surprising to have a bit of arrogance. Don't stir up trouble; that woman's treasure is very spiritual and should be quite troublesome."
"I know, senior brother. I'm not an unreasonable person." Fang Xian nodded in agreement.
The three groups did not communicate further after the initial introduction and discussion about the jade silk pattern, everyone harbored their own secrets.
Even though they are Star Sky Alliance members, they cannot be fully trusted. There have already been numerous incidents of members killing others for treasures, leaving no evidence by destroying the opponent's commander's seal, but the risk is clear. If someone escapes and transmits the recorded scenes on the commander's seal to the Star Sky Alliance, the consequence would be being hunted by the Star Sky Alliance.
Therefore, while there have been clandestine killings for treasures within the alliance, they are not common. Each murder and theft needs to be foolproof, like Luo Yingning, who orchestrated an elaborate play with many people to ambush and kill Lin Mo for his treasure, but unfortunately, Lin Mo still escaped.
As a result, Luo Yingning was killed by Lin Mo in revenge!
Without a hundred percent certainty, internal killings are rare.
Fang Ying thought for a moment, then flipped his palm, revealing several white elixir pills, and approached Zhu Shan, slightly bowing, "Friend Zhu Shan, these are Green Mist Pills specially refined by my master, the 'Hundred Netherworld King,' which can quickly restore true yuan. Consuming them is particularly demanding on true yuan at Fenglei Mountain, and I happen to have a few extra pills, so I'm giving some to you."
"Green Mist Pill?" Zhu Shan accepted the pills, each one emanating a green glow and a fragrant aroma, he laughed and said, "Then thank you, friend Fang Ying. I've heard that the 'Hundred Netherworld King' is especially skilled in refining elixirs. I didn't expect to meet a disciple of the 'Hundred Netherworld King'."
Fang Ying slightly nodded with a smile.
Huo Que took a Green Mist Pill and popped it into her mouth, chewing it like a bean, chuckling lightly, "This guy is really timid, purposely using the excuse of giving us pills to inform us about his master being the 'Hundred Netherworld King,' afraid that I'd kill him for his treasure?"
"My dear, he's just being kind, just eat it," Zhu Shan cast a helpless glance at Huo Que.
In another place.
Zhenyang and Lin Mo were sitting in meditation with their eyes closed, resting when Fang Ying and Fang Xian arrived in front of them, prompting them to open their eyes.
"Friend Zhenyang, friend Ye Fan!" Fang Ying's face had a friendly smile that made him approachable, bowing slightly.
"Oh, friend Fang Ying, what's up?" Zhenyang returned the bow, as he was merely a low-level realm general compared to Fang Ying, who was an advanced realm general.
Fang Ying flipped his palm, revealing several fragrant elixir pills in his palm, with a hint of green light swirling around them, "These are elixirs refined by my master, which can quickly restore true yuan. You both must have consumed a lot of true yuan resisting the Wind and Thunder Power earlier."
Zhenyang turned his head toward the aloof Lin Mo, "Young Master Ye Fan, what do you think?"
"Thank you for your kindness, friend Fang Ying. We've just taken some elixirs; our true yuan has recovered," Lin Mo replied indifferently.
Fang Ying paused momentarily, surprised at the positioning between Lin Mo, who only seemed to have Star Domain Level strength, and Zhenyang, who appeared to be at least of low-level realm general realm. Why did it seem like Zhenyang was the servant and the supposed Star Domain Level guy was the master?
"Friend Fang Ying, your kindness is appreciated," Zhenyang also smiled and said.
"In that case, let's leave it at that." Fang Ying nodded slightly, then departed with Fang Xian to their original resting spot.
Fang Xian's dainty cheeks flushed red, and she hummed softly, stamping her feet, "That Huo Que with her arrogant attitude is understandable since she's an advanced realm general and possesses formidable treasures. But what are Ye Fan and Zhenyang? One's a low-level realm general, and the other has Star Domain Level cultivation, just cannon fodder in the Star Domain Battlefield, with the airs of an expert, it's infuriating."
Fang Ying shook his head, a bit helpless, "Xian'er, haven't you noticed there's something suspicious about Zhenyang and that Ye Fan guy?"
"Suspicious?" Fang Xian was taken aback and looked at her senior brother.
Fang Ying spoke in a voice transmission, "I can tell that Zhenyang seems to defer to that Ye Fan guy. He can't be just a simple Star Domain Level, probably hiding some power. Besides, if they'd come with a treasure map, you'd think they wouldn't have skills; coming here would just be like committing suicide."
Fang Xian heard this, although it made sense, she was still a bit upset in her heart, snorting coldly, "Hidden strength? Some trump cards? How strong can a Star Domain Level guy be anyway!"
Fang Ying didn't explain further. Among their three groups, Huo Que and Zhu Shan were the strongest, so naturally, he wanted to form an alliance with Zhenyang and Ye Fan.
Continuing to wait.
About three days later, finally, two auras approached them closely.
Lin Mo opened his eyes, observing as two fleeting shadows swiftly arrived before them: two demon clan advanced realm generals. The two demon clan generals didn't expect that the other three groups would all be members of the Star Sky Alliance, and they instantly appeared vigilant on their faces.
"Demon clan realm generals?" Huo Que narrowed her eyes slightly, with ruby lips curving into a half-smile, "Isn't this just sheep entering the wolves' den?"
"Don't underestimate these two; they're both advanced realm generals." Zhu Shan, however, frowned, giving a reminder.
"I know, it won't delay important matters," Huo Que rolled her eyes at Zhu Shan, full of charm, making Zhu Shan's eyes sparkle.
The two demon clan advanced realm generals arrived and first glanced at Huo Que and Zhu Shan with slight tension on their faces, then looked at Fang Ying and Fang Xian, before finally their gaze landed on Lin Mo, a trace of surprise appearing on their faces.
The wonderful story continues tomorrow.
