As this thought spread in Yan Tian's mind, his body began to tremble. The Netherworld Sect had deployed all its elite warriors this time, especially the Sect Hierarch Tu Ji, whose cultivation realm was at the half-step Star Domain Level, while Lin Mo was merely at the High-level Star Sea Realm,

a gap between them as vast as a chasm.

If Lin Mo had a trump card to defeat Tu Ji, then this person was truly fearsome.

"Gulp!" Fan Miao looked at the three ice-colored powders exploding in the sky, swallowed, feeling scared. The Netherworld Sect's chief disciple was killed so easily; if not for Luo Yi's presence at the Refining God Pavilion, Lin Mo could have wiped him out with a wave of his hand. Thinking of this, a chill rose from Fan Miao's back. "Luo Yi, we should leave quickly; if the Netherworld Sect finds out... I fear..." Yan Tian frowned deeply, then his complexion turned ugly. The relationship between the Refining God Pavilion and the Netherworld Sect was already poor, and they were only cooperating temporarily to find the Ancient Secret Realm.

If the Netherworld Sect learned Wu Chong died at Lin Mo's hands, it could incite a fierce battle.

Lin Mo looked towards the distant sky, squinting slightly, a glimmer in his black eyes, then curved his lips into a strange arc and said calmly, "Thinking of leaving now might be too late!" As his voice fell, Zhou Xinyue, Luo Yi, Yan Tian, and others' faces suddenly changed, they raised their heads, looking towards the horizon as two extremely strong aura streaked at high speed. Moments later, these two figures appeared above the lake, wearing black robes adorned with purple and eerie clouds. A sinister and powerful aura spread out from them.

"Netherworld Sect Great Elder..." Yan Tian's face paled, a bitter arc spreading at the corner of his mouth. The Great Elder's strength was at Intermediate Star System Level, and it's rumored he was just a step away from High-level Star System Level; only needing a trigger for a smooth breakthrough. Even among other Intermediate Star System Level experts, his strength was incredibly formidable.

Beside the Great Elder was a middle-aged man in a black robe, emitting a similarly gloomy and powerful aura. Cold eyes under the black robe looked at Lin Mo like a venomous snake, a mocking smile playing at the corner of his mouth.

"Wu Chong's aura, you killed Wu Chong?" The Great Elder stared at Lin Mo, unleashing an overwhelming True Yuan aura towards Lin Mo to suppress him. Facing such pressure, Lin Mo immediately showcased the Star Sky Law.

The Star Sky Law dazzlingly manifested behind him, exuding a vast devouring aura, stubbornly resisting the Great Elder's oppressive energy. "Trash, you have some skill; no wonder even Wu Chong died by your hand." The Great Elder's voice was deep and icy. Even after Lin Mo showcased the Star Sky Law, there was no sign of fear, for their cultivation realms were vastly different.

In his perspective, Lin Mo was merely an ant in his palm, unable to overturn the sky. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Great Elder, I have a life-and-death feud with this boy. I hope the Great Elder allows me to kill him personally." The middle-aged man beside the Great Elder spoke, his eyes filled with fierce resentment.

Yan Tian, Fan Miao, and others looked at the two Netherworld Sect experts in the sky with grim faces, even more shocked in their hearts. Lin Mo truly was a troublemaker, daring to provoke so many Netherworld Sect powerhouses, it's no wonder he even dared to kill Wu Chong. "Li Ling, didn't think you'd follow us to the Anlin Star System!" Lin Mo said calmly, looking at the middle-aged man, quickly calculating in his mind. If only facing Li Ling, relying on the Star Sky Law to counteract the suppression of the world, he might have a chance to fight, but now with an extra Great Elder, things looked grim.

With the two joining forces, he stood no chance.

"Lin Tanyu, at the Klaka Star System, you killed my son, and today I'll sever your limbs, extract your soul to refine into my puppet, making you wish you were dead!" Li Ling's eyes gleamed with cold light, vicious as a fierce ghost.

"Li Jing sought death himself, and I killed Wu Chong too, it had nothing to do with anyone else. If you want revenge, come kill me!" Lin Mo said with a calm and indifferent expression.

At least Zhou Xinyue, Luo Yi, and others could not be implicated, although Luo Yi had a special identity, and since he didn't directly kill Wu Chong, the Netherworld Sect wouldn't dare to truly act against Luo Yi and the others. "Alright, young brat, facing death yet still so stubborn. Today you absolutely won't escape." Li Ling said with sinister confidence and raised black and purple energy surged, forming a Dharma seal, dark and mysterious purple talismans circled around him, accompanied by a buzzing sound. Encompassing regions' True Yuan surged like boiling water.

In the sky, a purple thundercloud vortex appeared, followed by a dark purple phoenix emerging with a fierce cry, carrying an ice-cold aura rushing towards Lin Mo. At the same time, Lin Mo's hand formed a seal, behind him, the black snake and flame imprint emitted a dark purple light, a purple aura whistled out, and another area of sky bore witness to a purple thundercloud vortex, followed by a purple

phoenix rushing out.

"Dark Phoenix Seal!" Lin Mo lightly slapped his palm out.

In the sky, two dark purple phoenixes cried out crisply and collided fiercely, spreading circles of purple ripples in the sky, detonating nearby mountain peaks into powder.

Such energy fluctuation almost caused the entire lake to boil over, and Yan Tian and others retreated repeatedly, just the energy collision's aftershocks alone made everyone's heart beat fast.

"You actually learned the Dark Phoenix Seal..." Shock filled Li Ling's face.

"This guy's also a Netherworld Pattern Master, a One Seal Netherworld Pattern Master." The Great Elder narrowed his eyes slightly, surprise flashing in his eyes.

Li Ling knew more about Lin Mo, that he'd obtained the Dark Phoenix Seal only a few months ago but had successfully cultivated it, whereas Li Ling had taken several decades to barely grasp this attacking Netherworld technique. Lin Mo mastering the Dark Phoenix Seal in such a short time signaled he must have a Secret Treasure related to Netherworld technique cultivation; such a Secret Treasure even stirred Li Ling's desire. The Great Elder too seemed to notice something special about Lin Mo. Being able to deploy the Dark Phoenix Seal with only a One Seal Netherworld Pattern level displayed some strange treasure.

"Li Ling, day turns into night, I'll lend you a helping hand!" The Great Elder shouted in a low voice, conjuring a dazzling dark purple sphere in his palm, transforming it into a light column crossing space, violently shooting towards Lin Mo. Facing two powerhouse figures, Lin Mo stood fearless but knew delaying further might forfeit even an escape chance. Quickly glancing at the lake below, his mind decided, sending a spiritual transmission to Zhou Xinyue: "Return to the Refining God Pavilion base with Luo Yi." Saying, a surge of powerful True Yuan enveloped him, before the purple light column struck him harshly, causing Lin Mo to shoot

into the lake like a projectile, splashing up a towering water column.
