"Mr. Lin, I..."
Lu Haotian hesitated, his voice sounding somewhat defeated.
Lin Mo furrowed his brows and said indifferently, "Speak your mind. What exactly happened?"
As the current underground leader of Shu Province, Lu Haotian held an extremely high status. The fact that he was acting this way suggested that the situation might indeed be quite serious.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Haotian's voice was tinged with sorrow:
"Originally, after Mr. Lin, you killed Yuan Qingtian, the whole Shu Province revered you."
"And as your subordinate, I was untouchable."
"However, after you left Shu Province, who knew that some forces would become restless, even planning to push you out and take over as the rulers of Shu Province."
Hearing this, Lin Mo's voice remained calm:
"My focus is not on Shu Province. You don't need to compete with them for any power."
"Mr. Lin, I know your perspective."
"But recently, the Su Family has suddenly risen, with an unstoppable momentum, quickly gaining the support of many clans in Shu Province."
"Moreover, they have recently set their sights on the position of ruler of Shu Province, and it looks like they're about to make a big move."
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo said indifferently, "Just take good care of Die Mo Pharmaceutical. You don't need to bother about other things."
"Mr. Lin, I had no intention of clashing with this Su Family, but they have set their sights on our Die Mo Pharmaceutical!"
"Just yesterday, they sent people to smash one of the branches of Die Mo Pharmaceutical."
"And they made a vicious statement that if we don't surrender to the Su Family by nine in the morning tomorrow, they will not only destroy Die Mo Pharmaceutical but also kill me and Long San; they even threatened to eliminate you as well."
Hearing this, Lin Mo's face turned somewhat cold:
"Initially, if they had behaved properly, even if they became the rulers of Shu Province, I might not have cared too much."
"However, since they so wish to die, I'll make a trip back to Shu Province and teach them a lesson in humanity."
"Yes!! Mr. Lin, Long San and I warmly welcome your return!"
Even separated by tens of thousands miles, Lu Haotian could feel Lin Mo's majestic aura and indifferent demeanor.
Just after hanging up the phone, who knew that four men in black would appear from an alleyway.
"Kid, your perceptive abilities are quite strong." The four men walked out, and the leader glared at Lin Mo with a sneer.
Lin Mo's expression was serene, he coldly glanced at them, "Speak up. Who sent you?"
"Hahaha... Kid, you're not worthy of knowing the answer to that. If you manage to defeat us, we might tell you, but unfortunately, you won't have that chance," said the leading man with a chilling smile.
"Is that so?" Lin Mo glanced at him dismissively and sneered, "With just you few Martial Arts Grandmasters?"
"What?"
The four men exchanged glances, surprised that Lin Mo could so easily discern their Realm. The leader's eyes darkened, "It seems, kid, you do have some skills, but what does it matter if you can see our Realm? You're still on a path to death."
"A bunch of garbage, I'll entertain you for a bit," Lin Mo snorted lightly, his expression nonchalant.
"Kill!" The man with the strongest aura among the four no longer wasted words and bellowed in a low voice.
Simultaneously, the four of them moved in perfect harmony, each wielding a Long Blade.
From every direction, long blades hacked towards Lin Mo, four men attacking him at once.
Lin Mo's body slightly bent, easily dodging the four long blades, then his palm casually reached out and effortlessly grasped one of the arms.
Under the slight twist of Lin Mo's hand, that arm instantly shattered into pieces.
In a flash, Lin Mo seized the long blade from the man's hand and plunged it into the man's abdomen. The man let out a piercing scream and died on the spot.
"Bastard!"
Witnessing this scene, the remaining three men's eyes filled with rage. They had worked together with the fallen man for over a decade, and, no matter what, they shared a strong bond.
How could they not be furious to see him so easily killed by Lin Mo?
"Kill!" The remaining three exchanged looks and attacked simultaneously, their long blades moving with extreme speed from the left and the right.
Their footsteps were strikingly synchronized, moving in a highly complex manner. Under such footwork, their figures seemed to blur, with only the intersecting flashes of cold light from their blades drawing near!
"Kid, you're dead meat!" Seeing Lin Mo stand still, the faces of the three men turned exceptionally cruel.
"Enough, I'm tired of playing with you. Go join your companion," Lin Mo coldly sneered.
The next second.
Crack!
Crack!
Lin Mo moved like lightning, grasping the throats of two of the men, and on the spot, crushed their throats, killing them immediately.
The remaining man was utterly stunned, with fear flickering in his eyes!
"Damn it, how can he be so strong?"
The last man trembled uncontrollably and then rapidly retreated. All he could think of was to find a way to escape.
Lin Mo snorted coldly, his voice dripping with contempt, "Do you think I, Lin Mo, would let you escape after you tried to kill me?"
Whoosh!
With a single gesture from Lin Mo, two large holes appeared in the man's thighs.
"Ahh!!" The man screamed in agony, his entire body instantly soaked with cold sweat.
"Speak up, who sent you?" Lin Mo glanced at him, his tone icy, asking indifferently.
"Dream on! Kill me or do whatever you want!" The man bit down hard on his teeth, his face filled with defiance and resilience.
"Toughness is useless before me!"
Lin Mo stood with hands behind his back, snorted coldly, and the next second, an invisible surge of air entered the man's body.
Instantly, the man's expression twisted grotesquely in terror, "What... what have you done to me?"
Lin Mo did not answer. In just a couple of seconds, the man felt as if he were in Nine Netherworld Hell, his entire body's pain amplified hundreds of times: "Ahhh!!! Damn it, give me a quick death, kill me!!"
With hands still behind his back, Lin Mo's expression was indifferent, "You have no right to negotiate with me."
Lin Mo's indifferent gaze carried an icy chill that seemed to penetrate the soul.
The man knew that keeping silent would only bring him endless agony, so he spoke up, "It's... it's the Su Family from Shu Province. They sent us, saying they need to get rid of you before they can comfortably take over as the new rulers of Shu Province."
Hearing this, Lin Mo's eyes turned utterly cold, "So it's the Su Family who so wishes for death. If I don't fulfill this wish for you, I would be sorry to myself."
