Chapter 175: Bloody-Handed Cao Zhen
Behind her, Zi Yue took a step forward. Her body was covered in multicolored light, and every step she took gave off a stronger aura.
However, in the end, she still stopped.
She could not make a move unless she had the confidence to kill Lin Mo.
Lin Mo, who was walking in front, did not say anything. He continued to walk forward, and there were not any ripples on his face.
However, a strand of Sword Qi had already condensed on his palm, ready to counterattack at any moment.
The attack that he had been waiting for did not arrive, causing Lin Mo to feel somewhat surprised.
He turned his head and said, “If you want to kill me, then do it.”
“Forget it. It’s good to know each other, so let’s let go of our previous grudges from now on. Let’s work together happily in the future.”
Zi Yue said softly, her pretty face carrying a trace of regret. She regretted that she had not been able to recruit Lin Mo.
“Haha, in that case, thank you for your mercy.”Lin Mo laughed loudly. He did not stay here any longer and walked out of the Drunken Immortal Restaurant
After a moment, he left the Drunken Immortal Restaurant and disappeared from the crowd.
“Milady, why did you let him go? Since we are enemies, let’s kill him before he succeeds.” Qianqian walked up, not understanding why.
“It’s fine, I have my own plans.” Zi Yue expressionlessly replied.
“However, it’s not impossible for a mercenary like him to side with the second prince. Can we really cooperate with such a person?” Qianqian said doubtfully.
“Don’t provoke him. His strength isn’t simple.” Zi Yue stopped Qianqian and shook her head.
“Could it be that he’s not at the tier 5 Dragon Transformation Realm?” Qianqian did not believe it. Where did Lin Mo get so many cultivation resources?
“In short, don’t take the initiative to provoke him again,” Zi Yue said softly.
“Yes!” Hearing this, Qianqian, Qing Wen, and Qing Wu nodded in agreement.
In the crowd of Lin City, Lin Mo walked on the street and felt a chill on his back.
In the Drunken Immortal Restaurant just now, he felt an extremely dangerous aura.
It was as if he was targeted by a prehistoric beast.
However, that aura quickly dissipated. He did not panic and left in large strides.
He knew that Zi Yue would not make a move against him for a short period of time. This matter had made everything clear.
Lin Mo returned to the auction house. At this moment, Duanmu Jia had also returned from the outside.
She had mentioned to Lin Mo previously that they could start developing the land. Otherwise, a single auction house would not be sufficient.
“Master, I’ve already bought all the land that you asked me to buy. The total cost is 1.75 million low-grade spiritual stones.”
“Also, a few markets in Lin City have also been bought. Here are the account books, please take a look.”
The Duanmu Jia respectfully handed over an account book, which recorded the cost of each spirit stone in detail.
Lin Mo casually flipped through it and nodded.
“Well done. I’ll leave these matters to you.”
After giving his instructions, Lin Mo originally planned to cultivate. However, at his residence, a woman wearing a bamboo hat was already waiting there.
“Eh, it’s you!”
Lin Mo was stunned. In front of him was a graceful woman. After seeing him, her gaze was unfriendly.
This person was one of Zi Yue’s subordinates. Her name was Qianqian.
Although he and Zi Yue had reconciled, it seemed that this girl was still brooding over the fact that he had auctioned her off as a maid.
“What’s the matter?” Lin Mo asked with a smile.
His smile made Qianqian’s expression turn even gloomier.
She threw a spatial bag over and opened her red lips slightly. “Milady asked me to bring these over for you to auction off.”
“Oh, so soon?”
Lin Mo was a little surprised. They had just decided to work together and Zi Yue had agreed without even considering it?
After receiving the spatial bag, Qianqian prepared to leave. Before she left, she looked at Lin Mo with a strong hostility.
“Miao Qing, send a note. The auction will start tomorrow night.”
Lin Mo instructed and sent the treasure Zi Yue brought over to Master Ao Lei for him to appraise it.
After doing all this, Lin Mo walked into the secret training room.
He summoned the Colorful Fire Demon from the pet space, and a palm-sized butterfly fluttered in the air.
As soon as it appeared, the temperature in the secret room started to rise.
Although it was still young, the flames on its body already had a certain degree of destructive power.
“Come, eat this Shape-Shifting Pill.”
Lin Mo took out the Shape-Shifting Pill he had obtained from the warehouse.
He had prepared it for the Colored Fire Demon at the time, but because he had been busy, he had been delayed.
The palm-sized butterfly landed in Lin Mo’s hand. The flames wrapped around the Shape-Shifting Pill and quickly ate it.
At the same time, the Colored Fire Demon’s body began to grow larger. The flames rose and quickly occupied half of the secret chamber.
“Is there such a huge commotion from the transformation?” Lin Mo was a little surprised.
However, this Shape-Shifting Pill was given by the system as a rebate. It could not be a fake.
For such a situation to occur, it could only mean that the Colored Fire Demon was too powerful. The commotion from the transformation was also huge.
“How am I supposed to cultivate...”
Lin Mo was helpless. The temperature in the secret chamber continued to rise. In the end, even he had no choice but to retreat.
The flames continued for half an hour.
When the temperature started to drop, Lin Mo walked into the secret chamber.
In the secret chamber, a cocoon formed from flames lay within, and the surrounding heaven and earth energy continued to gather within it.
Lin Mo immediately took out 200,000 low-grade spiritual stones and threw them in, closing the door to the secret chamber.
He was not able to cultivate tonight. Initially, he had planned to hatch the Myriad Poison Beast while he was still cultivating.
However, it seemed that he would not be able to do so now. He still had many things to deal with.
“Forget it, let’s go to sleep...”
...
The next day!
The entrance of the Lin auction house was already packed with people. As the time between the two auctions was too short, Lin Mo had specially arranged for the auction to be held at night.
However, these people were a little too enthusiastic. They actually arrived at the entrance of the auction house in the morning.
At the same time, Lin Mo also received a lot of auction items.
As word of mouth started to spread, more and more people came to him to auction. It was not just limited to the cultivators in Lin City.
“Master, the treasure you sent last night has been appraised.”
Duanmu Jia walked over with a piece of paper and handed it to Lin Mo to have a look.
“In addition, we don’t have to care too much about the publicity. After all, our reputation is out there. However, there are more people coming now. I’m afraid we don’t have enough items to auction,” Duanmu Jia said with some worry.
“Master, perhaps this isn’t the only trouble.” From afar, Miao Qing also walked over with an anxious look on his face.
“Take your time. What’s wrong?” Lin Mo frowned. After holding so many auctions, what else had he not experienced?
“Master, when I went to the Drunken Immortal Restaurant to deliver the post, Lady Zi Yue asked me to pass on a piece of news to you.”
Miao Qing and Lin Mo left the crowd and came to a secret place.
“Lady Zi Yue said that the tenth person on the wanted list of the Yanhuang Divine Empire, Bloody-handed Cao Zhen, was seen in Lin City.”
Bloody-handed Cao Zhen had once robbed the royal auction houses in many cities and killed all the people inside.
His methods were too bloody, so he was called Bloody-handed Cao Zhen.
Moreover, according to the message from Zi Yue, this Bloody-handed Cao Zhen was very likely to be the second prince’s subordinate...
“Talented people would easily be targeted due to jealousy. As expected, the eighth prince isn’t the only one who has her eyes on me...”
