Chapter 660: Lin Mo Returns

All eyes were fixed on the figure standing tall in the sky, and disbelief filled their gazes.

The soldiers of the Heavenly Wolf Nation watched their commander, and the fate of life and death rested in Lin Mo's hands. Although it was difficult to accept, it had become a reality.

"He's too strong, the champion of the Hundred Academies Competition is incredibly formidable."

"Xiao Shilei's strength is already impressive at the same level, but I never expected Lin Mo to be so much stronger."

"Our Xuanli Country has produced an extraordinary figure."

On this side of the Xuanli Country, after a brief moment of astonishment, cheers erupted. Previously, they thought this young man was just a brash upstart challenging the long-established Xiao Shilei, but now he had shown everyone with his strength that he wasn't joking.

"No wonder they say he's even scarier than Wang Yuan," Zhang Lin muttered as he glanced at Luo Yao.

"Of course, Wang Yuan was killed by Lin Mo during the Hundred Academies Competition, and he couldn't even enter the core area."

Luo Yao responded on the side.

"What?"

Hearing that Wang Yuan had been killed by Lin Mo, the crowd was dumbfounded once again. They clearly remembered that Wang Yuan's Abyssal Battle Body had awakened, and he was destined to become a super powerhouse that would dominate Xuanli.

In their perception, the Abyssal Battle Body was synonymous with strength, and no one could surpass it. But now, Lin Mo had killed someone like Wang Yuan...

"General Xiao, have you thought about it?" 

In the sky, Lin Mo still stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on Xiao Shilei's face.

At this point, Xiao Shilei's face had turned pale, and he no longer had the arrogant demeanor he had before. His eyes were filled with deep fear.

Once, he was the one who instilled fear in others, but now, facing this young man in his early twenties, he felt boundless despair. It was a fear like a deep abyss.

No matter how hot-tempered he was or how he could control his anger, at this moment, his fate was in Lin Mo's hands. That was indeed the reality.

"Alright, I promise you, for the next hundred years, the soldiers of the Heavenly Wolf Nation will not set foot in the Xuanli Country."

In the end, even someone as powerful as Xiao Shilei had to bow down.

"However, if the Xuanli Country's army invades my Heavenly Wolf Nation, I will not surrender."

Lin Mo's face showed a smile as he said, "Agreed."

After that, he removed the enormous Star-picking Hand and released Xiao Shilei. Although he knew that Xiao Shilei, with his presence in the Heavenly Wolf Nation, was a significant threat, it was not his intention to kill him. If Xiao Shilei were to die, the tens of thousands of soldiers below might erupt in anger. While Lin Mo had the strength to slaughter these soldiers, he was not a bloodthirsty person. Therefore, releasing Xiao Shilei and giving him the most severe warning was the best approach.

The tens of thousands of soldiers from the Heavenly Wolf Nation, upon hearing their commander's words, became disheartened. General Lieyan, the undefeated general of the Heavenly Wolf Nation, had truly been defeated today, and not just defeated but by a young man. This was something they found hard to accept, but they had no choice but to accept it.

A few tens of minutes later, the Heavenly Wolf Nation's army withdrew completely, and the densely packed formation under the Flame Beacon City finally disappeared.

"Luo Yao, let's go."

Lin Mo's figure soared from the sky, but he did not land on Flame Beacon City. Instead, he spoke as he passed by.

Hearing this, Luo Yao smiled and also flew up to follow him. Zhang Lin and the others, seeing that Lin Mo had not harmed them, felt relieved.

The soldiers below directly collapsed to the ground. Who would have thought that the one they had just ridiculed was the champion of the Hundred Academies Competition and the one who had single-handedly repelled the Heavenly Wolf Nation's army, a man of such terrifying strength? The mere thought of it was enough to make them feel weak.

"So terrifying, with just one person, he intimidates an entire nation."

"I guess the capital city is about to see a lot of bloodshed."

Summer Weather muttered as he watched Lin Mo's gradually receding figure.

The news of Lin Mo's awe-inspiring display and the end of the war quickly spread from Flame Beacon City to various cities in the Xuanli Country. However, the speed of information dissemination was far from as fast as Lin Mo's flight.

In less than a day, Lin Mo had already arrived at the Imperial City.

"Xia Tianxuan, come out!"

What was originally a bustling and noisy Imperial City suddenly fell silent at the furious roar. A heavy atmosphere slowly permeated the area.

In the city, many people looked up and saw a figure in black standing with his hands behind his back at the top of the Imperial Palace's gate.

He stood there quietly, but he gave everyone a feeling of pressure.

"Who is that?"

"I don't know, but anyone who stands in mid-air is definitely a Spirit Communication Realm expert, and we can't afford to provoke them."

"He's here to find Xia Tianxuan, could it be that Lin Mo has returned so soon?"

"How is that possible? Lin Mo should be in the Ancient Dragon Academy now, how could he come back so quickly?"

...

In the Imperial City, the common people watched the figure on the gate and discussed in low voices.

Inside the Imperial Palace, discussions were being held on how to resist the Heavenly Wolf Nation's invasion when they suddenly heard an angry shout from outside.

"This is... Lin Mo?"

Among the officials, someone questioned.
