Not only Song Yun and others, even Wu Longshen, Wu Chengyun, and Wu Han had their bodies stiffened, watching Lin Mo in disbelief.
"This is the true 'Martial Arts God,' although Guo Yi had stepped into the Advanced Martial Emperor Realm and could dodge an anti-martial bullet, to do so to this extent requires fully refining the True Qi into reality." Wu Longshen's eyes were filled with shock and awe.
Lin Mo casually waved his hand, sending all the anti-martial bullets reversing their course, and more than twenty bodyguards fell to the ground instantly.
Despite his face also being filled with shock, Wei Yan forced a calm demeanor and said, "I am from the Green Dragon Gang, if you dare kill me, the Green Dragon Gang will not rest until you are dead! How about you let me go, and I pretend I didn't see anything?"
"Do you have the right to bargain with me?" said Lin Mo indifferently. Following his words, a white flow of air streamed between his fingers, and with a gentle wave of his palm, a curved Wind Blade formed in the air, severing twigs, leaves, and ice ridges wherever it passed.
Just as Wei Yan finished speaking, a slash appeared on his neck, he covered his throat with both hands, his eyes filled with reluctance as he fell to the ground.
Wei Yan was dead!
Lin Mo had completely offended the Green Dragon Gang.
This situation was entirely unexpected by Qin Ye. Lin Mo's martial arts were godlike, but Wei Yan was after all from the Green Dragon Gang, a super-large force.
Bodies of Wei Yan, along with Wang Bao and Guo Yi, were taken care of, everyone returned to the grand hall of the Red Mansion.
At this moment, however, the seating had subtly changed; Lin Mo was sitting at the highest place, with Wu Longshen and Qin Man sitting to his left and right.
"Wu has failed to recognize Taishan, not knowing Mr. Lin was a peerless master," said Wu Longshen as he stood up, bowed ninety degrees, his attitude extremely respectful.
Song Yun stood on the side like a timid bride, serving tea and pouring water for Lin Mo.
Lin Mo sipped the tea, put down the cup, and merely glanced at Wu Longshen without saying a word.
"Wu Han, why aren't you kneeling to apologize to Mr. Lin!" Wu Chengyun then barked angrily.
Wu Han's face flushed with changing colors and ultimately knelt to the ground, kowtowing, "Mr. Lin, please do not hold a grudge for my minor transgressions, I actually have no feelings for Xiao Man."
Hearing Wu Han's words, Qin Man's cheek slightly blushed.
Qin Ye sat on the side, glancing at Qin Man with a grave expression on his face. Now that Lin Mo had killed a member of the Green Dragon Gang, if the Qin family associated with Lin Mo, they too would become enemies of the Green Dragon Gang.
Yet, Lin Mo was fearless even against anti-martial bullets. If he wanted Qin Man, Qin Ye felt powerless to stop him.
Qin Ye felt as if he were squeezed between a rock and a hard place, extremely uncomfortable.
Lin Mo drank another sip of tea and leisurely said, "I am going to leave here. If the Green Dragon Gang comes to you, just put all the blame on me, and also help me look after Elder Zhou and Hu Niu from Taohua Village."
These words were directed at Qin Man. Upon hearing Lin Mo was leaving, both Song Yun and Qin Man's faces revealed a trace of reluctance. What young girl doesn't harbor spring? Which young man isn't amorous? Seeing Lin Mo's divine skills, striking Guo Yi dead with a slap, blocking anti-martial bullets as if wearing the Golden Armor of the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, appearing like the most dazzling Starlight.
Qin Ye let out a deep sigh of relief, thankfully this fellow didn't take a liking to Xiao Man.
Leaving the mansion, the two women invited Lin Mo for hot pot. Eating hot pot was the best in cold weather.
"Lin Mo, you've really kept yourself hidden deeply," Song Yun pursed her lips and placed a piece of fatty beef into Lin Mo's bowl.
Lin Mo helplessly said, "What have I hidden? Just because I am a peerless master, should I tell you guys and then perform it all over again?"
"I..." Song Yun puffed up her tender little mouth, feeling helpless.
Qin Man covered her mouth and chuckled lightly, then suddenly asked, "Lin Mo, are you really leaving?"
"Um, I need to go somewhere for some business," Lin Mo responded.
"Be careful of the Green Dragon Gang; since you killed Master Wei, they definitely won't let you off," Qin Man said, worry filling her beautiful eyes.
"Just the Green Dragon Gang, if they dare to provoke me, I won't mind wiping out their old nest," Lin Mo said with a light smile.
"Just bluffing—The Green Dragon Gang is the biggest underground force in our area, and I've heard they have several Martial Arts Experts who have been renowned for a long time," Song Yun also expressed a hint of worry.
Lin Mo shook his head and did not speak again; what did it matter how strong the Green Dragon Gang was?
Lin Mo had already offended the Joy Sect, the Black Witch Sect, and one more like the Green Dragon Gang was no different.
At that moment, inside a hotel in a city in the Northeast, a man in a suit walked into the restaurant and strode forward.
An elderly man, looking travel-worn, sat at a round table, flanked by two men and two women, all around their thirties.
"Seventh Elder, Lin Mo has appeared!" The man came up beside the elder and whispered.
"Oh, he finally came out. We've been out for nearly ten days now without any news of him. Where is he now?" the elder asked quietly, holding a teacup.
"Just got the news, he is in Han City, and it's said that he killed Wei Yan of the Green Dragon Gang. This guy really doesn't fear death!" the young man said in a grave tone.
"Never mind him. As long as we kill this guy and help the Young Sect Master, we will all benefit when the Young Sect Master takes over," the elder stated. Then, everyone got up and left the hotel.
Meanwhile, Lin Mo had also left Han City and continued traveling north on foot alone. He didn't use any Magic; unhurried and calm, he ate an Elixir when hungry and drank dew when thirsty.
He was so leisurely not for any other reason; both the Joy Sect and the Black Witch Sect, along with other hidden forces, were now after him. Lin Mo also planned to use this chance to eliminate his enemies. It was more troublesome for Lin if those people couldn't find him and instead went after his family; better to expose his trail proactively and wait for them to come to him.
However, Lin Mo did not head for big cities but instead traveled through villages and small towns. After all, cities were too populous, which could pose concerns if conflicts arose.
Taking an Elixir, Lin Mo was about to rest in a small town when suddenly his starry eyes furrowed, sensing something.
It was a signal from the Jade Pendant he had given to Hu Niu.
"Not good, Hu Niu is in danger," Lin Mo's eyes turned icy, fury sparking within them.
The men from the Green Dragon Gang had really dared to strike at Hu Niu and Elder Zhou.
When he reached Taohua Village, he found many villagers gathered around Elder Zhou's house.
Both Qin Man and Song Yun were among them.
"Hu Niu, stop crying. I will help you bury your grandfather," Qin Man said, squatting on the ground, a pained expression tracing her lovely face as she looked at the visibly swollen-eyed Hu Niu.
"Hu Niu, follow sister from now on; I will take care of you, okay?" Song Yun's face also showed sympathy.
Pushing through the crowd, Lin Mo then saw Elder Zhou lying on the ground, a red blood stain soaking his chest, already breathless.
Seeing this, flames of raging fury burned in Lin Mo's icy eyes, as if they could scorch the heavens themselves.
