The underground forum was already ablaze with activity.
The kings on the Qingyun List were making their appearances one after another, all seemingly targeting Lin Tanyu.
The list was filled with brilliant and monstrous young talents, all of whom had climbed to their positions as kings through their strength and achievements. However, Lin Mo's rise to the top as the Strongest King was almost as fast as if he had flown there, which naturally left some of the genius youths and girls feeling dissatisfied.
After all, many of the details about Lin Tanyu were circulated on the internet, and no one knew what was true or false, having never seen Lin Mo's abilities with their own eyes. How could these immensely proud talents be convinced?
"There will be more excitement to watch now, almost all the strong contenders on the Qingyun List have emerged."
"These people wouldn't all be seeking out Lin Tanyu for a challenge, would they? I wonder where they would fight, I want to watch."
"Even Zhuang Ziruo, the successor of Emei, has shown up. I heard she is like a fairy, even more beautiful than a movie star. I really want to see her, and this isn't just any Emei branch, but the Inner Sect Emei!"
"Add one to the above comment."
"I wonder if those two will make an appearance."
"The Aixinjueluo family has always been very mysterious, and they never come out. I guess they won't show up."
"Maybe that person from Hong Kong will show up?"
All the Martial Artists on the forum started paying attention to the movements of the kings. This list, which had thrust Lin Tanyu into the position of the Strongest King, had already touched the nerves of the other kings.
After nightfall, the extended coastline of Victoria Harbor was brilliantly lit. As a Special Economic Zone, Hong Kong, after its return in 1997, had aligned completely with international norms in terms of economics and city planning, leading the forefront in Huaxia.
The entire harbor was bathed in dazzling lights, creating a dreamlike sensation.
Standing in front of the Victoria Hotel at Victoria Harbor were about fifty black-suited bodyguards standing guard, with a Rolls-Royce elegantly parked at the entrance. The entire hotel was under a no-entry status.
People passing by all turned their heads, looking at the hotel entrance with a mix of curiosity and fear towards the stern bodyguards and the luxury car.
"Could it be some official moving about, why else would the hotel be closed to the public?" said a businessman from the mainland, frowning.
"Boss, that's the car owned by the fourth master of the Li family, not some official," a local from Hong Kong cautiously remarked.
"The Li family, could it be the largest Li family in Hong Kong?" The boss's face showed both shock and a touch of reverence; after all, he was a legendary figure in all of Huaxia.
"Who else could command such pomp and circumstance when traveling? Let's find another hotel. It looks like we won't be staying at the Victoria Hotel tonight. I'll find you some beautiful models to keep you company this evening."
Inside the Victoria Hotel, a middle-aged man dressed in a suit sat rigidly on a sofa. Behind him stood two middle-aged men in black robes, both Martial Arts Masters, holding a solemn demeanor.
Just then, a young man in a blue robe walked through the door. The blue robe was adorned with a Star Sky Map; the intricate pattern of brightly shining stars created a complex and mysterious impression.
This young man, in his early twenties, had an oval face and skin as smooth and soft as a newborn's; his bright eyes were as clear and clean as the stars in the night sky, giving him an ethereal and comfortable presence.
If any of Huaxia's star-struck women saw such a handsome young man, they would likely scream in excitement on the spot.
Even the middle-aged man sitting on the sofa couldn't help but show a hint of astonishment, but he quickly regained his composure, albeit with a slight frown, and asked, "Is the master not coming?"
"Fourth Master, I'm sorry; my teacher is in seclusion and cannot come out to meet you at the moment," the young man approached, slightly parting his rosy lips to speak.
Lin Mo furrowed his brow, "About the matter I last consulted with the master..."
"Master, twenty years ago he helped your Luo Family arrange the Feng Shui array and has been punished for peeking into the Heavenly Mechanism," the young man said confidently.
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment before rising and sighing, "I've disturbed the master. Since the master is in seclusion and cannot meet, I will leave now."
"My teacher asked me to tell you something, the Feng Shui array can still protect the Luo Family for ten more years without worries," the young man said slowly.
"Good." The middle-aged man nodded and then left the hotel with two bodyguards.
Once the middle-aged man had left the room, the handsome young man walked to the balcony and looked up at the night sky, which resembled a black dance curtain filled with dazzling stars, among them one star in the east shone particularly bright.
"Seven stars gather, and the Ziwei Star appears, Lin Tanyu, are you really that powerful?" the young man slightly narrowed his eyes and sighed.
"Lu Xing, has the person left?"
While he was lost in thought, a shadowy figure suddenly condensed in the air in front of him, formed by countless connected stars.
"Teacher. The master has left."
Lu Xing bowed slightly, showing a respectful demeanor.
"Mm, you should also go out for a walk, you've been by my side for too long, it's time for you to see more," the figure in the shadows spoke slowly.
Lu Xing looked up at the figure in the void, hesitating slightly and subconsciously biting his lip, "Teacher, how is your health?"
"My body has mostly recovered, and I can only stay in seclusion for the recent time. Don't worry about me."
"Yes, teacher." Lu Xing nodded. The shadow then transformed into a burst of starlight and disappeared into the universe.
For a moment, the underground forums erupted, and King Group of Qingyun List was looking to challenge Shadow Kill.
However, none of this was very significant to Lin Mo, who had now arrived in Seoul, and his strength had even improved slightly.
This was the characteristic of the Vast Universe that Lin Mo created: the fiercer the battle, the more he could push his cultivation technique to its limits.
"Master, is there anything fun to do here?" A girl dressed in red silk knee-length skirt, her hair in a ponytail looking like a doll, looked around with wide eyes.
"I don't know either." Walking beside the girl, a young man in a black tailored suit had his hands in his pockets and wore a look of languor.
These two were Yingzi and Lin Mo.
When Lin Mo was in Xiazhou, Yingzi had flown over, saying she was too bored alone there, and Xia Mengdie had asked her to come and take care of Lin Mo.
The two then entered a traditional Han Country cuisine restaurant, which was not very crowded.
"Ali ahseo yo." A stylishly dressed woman came over and slightly bowed.
"What do you have to eat here?" Lin Mo asked.
"Are you both from Huaxia?" the woman stood up and suddenly asked in Huaxia language.
