Chapter 741: Just One More to Go

"Now, do we still need to take action?" Lin Mo's simple words stirred up a storm in Yue Zongmian's heart.

The members who ruled the eight directions might not know what Lin Mo had done, but as an ally of the Dragon City Association, Yue Zongmian was well aware of the situation. Lin Mo, with his strength alone, had terrified the entire Dragon City Association. Even Wei Wenxuan and Mu Shaofeng, among the Laizhou Nine Talents, didn't dare to be arrogant in front of him. That Green Dragon Crescent Blade might even make many mentors in the Ancient Courtyard respect him. How could someone like Lin Mo, who couldn't even make it into the Laizhou Nine Talents, dare to contend with him?

"Mis... misunderstanding," Yue Zongmian quickly said.

"Oh?" Lin Mo sneered, "What kind of misunderstanding?"

Lin Mo didn't expect that this time, even the Green Dragon Crescent Blade didn't need to be used, and the President of the Rulers of the Eight Directions would yield so easily.

"President, what are you saying?" Mu Yun saw that Yue Zongmian had suddenly changed his attitude and immediately said, "Even if he is Lin Mo, so what? He has taken advantage of us a lot in the Beast Domain."

"If you want him to join us, it's obviously impossible now. Since that's the case, why be polite to him?" 

"Yes, the Rulers of the Eight Directions are not a place where he can come and go as he pleases."

Many members of the Rulers of the Eight Directions echoed Mu Yun's words.

"Shut up, all of you!" Yue Zongmian shouted in a deep voice, "Mu Yun, go to the warehouse and bring out all the materials promised to Lin Mo."

"We, the Rulers of the Eight Directions, keep our promises."

Mu Yun wanted to say more, but he saw Yue Zongmian staring at him fiercely, so he had to swallow his anger and leave.

He had no idea that Yue Zongmian just wanted to send Lin Mo away as soon as possible.

"Good, keeping promises is important," Lin Mo nodded, not bothering to expose Yue Zongmian's intentions.

He then turned his gaze to Fang Fan and said with a half-smile, "Senior Brother Fang Fan, you mentioned discussing how to deal with me just now, didn't you?"

"N-No... nothing," Fang Fan said awkwardly. During his time in the Dragon City Association, he had deeply felt the fear of the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, and he firmly believed that if he provoked Lin Mo, he would use it without hesitation.

"I came here this time to remind President Yue to treat you well," Fang Fan quickly changed the topic.

Lin Mo shook his head and smiled, "Is that so? It would be great if you guys had such good intentions."

"Tell Wei Wenxuan when you go back that resorting to bullying the weak is something only someone like him can do. I don't need to use such methods to deal with him. He can just wait patiently."

After Mu Yun brought out all the materials, Lin Mo didn't make things difficult for them any further. He took the materials and headed towards the Jia Wang Hall.

Once Lin Mo left, Fang Fan and the others heaved a sigh of relief.

"Senior Brother Fang, is Lin Mo really that terrifying?" Mu Yun asked in confusion.

"He himself may not be terrifying, but he possesses that Green Dragon Blade. During the Hundred Schools Contest, he used it to save the Dean and others," Fang Fan said with a trembling heart. "We all thought that he couldn't use that move again, but just a few hours ago, he went to the Dragon City Association and forced Wei Wenxuan to retreat several miles away. Whether the Green Dragon Blade is effective or not, we have to be on guard. After all, a desperate dog will jump over the wall, especially someone like Lin Mo."

Yue Zongmian also nodded in agreement, "Yes, if it weren't for that Green Dragon Blade, I would have beaten him a thousand times over by now."

"I see," Mu Yun and the others finally realized that what their President feared was not Lin Mo himself but the ace up his sleeve.

"By the way, why did you come to find me?" Yue Zongmian came back to his senses and asked Fang Fan.

Fang Fan said, "Our leader wants to invite you to come over and discuss how to deal with Lin Mo."

"Oh?" Yue Zongmian was surprised.

"He has embarrassed us so much that our leader can't just let it go," Fang Fan said. "But since he has that thing, we can't force him. So, our leader's idea is to have all the alliance leaders jointly petition to prevent Lin Mo from carrying the Green Dragon Blade when participating in the exchange event for new and old disciples."

"Then it's easy," Yue Zongmian said.

…

Lin Mo didn't know what Fang Fan and Yue Zongmian were discussing, but he didn't care. Right now, he just wanted to gather the materials quickly so that Guisyann could repair his Natural Creation Stele.

When he went to the Jia Wang Hall to request the materials, it was not as difficult as dealing with the Dragon City Association and the Rulers of the Eight Directions. The leader of the Jia Wang Hall received Lin Mo warmly and provided all the promised materials as agreed, leaving a good impression on Lin Mo.

"Only the Frost Ice Pavilion is left," Lin Mo said to himself.

"I wonder how that little girl Yan Ru is doing now," Lin Mo mused.

"I think you should go find your mentor, Yan Wang, just in case. Having her around might make that little girl behave," Nine Lives suggested.

Zhao Yun agreed, "I think so too. After all, she's already leaning towards you."

"I'm afraid that if she knows I bullied her sister, she might come after me," Lin Mo laughed and shook his head. Yan Wang was even more troublesome, with her unpredictable temper. Who could guarantee whose side she would be on?

In the end, Lin Mo didn't go to find Yan Wang but went straight to the Frost Ice Pavilion.

The location of the Frost Ice Pavilion was quite remote, but the architecture of the entire alliance was unique. It was mostly crystal buildings, giving the impression of an ice palace, with ice crystals glistening.
