Chapter 888: Preparing for the Nine Provinces Grand Event

Ling Xiao never expected that Lin Mo actually had no evidence at all when he came to intimidate him. Moreover, Lin Mo seemed so confident and assured, indicating his formidable analytical skills and courage.

He believed that if Lin Mo wasn't fully confident, he wouldn't dare to do such a thing. Because if he made a mistake, it would be a very troublesome matter.

"Our accounts will be settled at the Nine Provinces Grand Event!" Lin Mo transmitted his voice using mental energy, fiercely declaring his intent.

After speaking, he swiftly flew back to his residence.

Although Ling Xiao's expression remained unchanged, there was a hint of surprise deep in his eyes.

Shortly thereafter, following Xiao Jianfeng's instructions, Ling Xiao first went to the Punishment Pavilion and then went to apologize to the Mu and Han families.

The truth about Lin Mo being wronged was also revealed.

As a result, Ling Xiao's reputation suffered a severe blow. Those who once admired him and held high hopes for his family were greatly disappointed. Even the Warlord Hall, founded by him, lost many members due to this incident.

No one had expected that their revered senior brother Ling Xiao would turn out to be such a person.

It was one thing to save someone and play the hero, but it was another to severely injure his own fellow senior brothers. The members of the Warlord Hall simply couldn't accept it.

The Warlord Hall, which was once prestigious, lost half of its members in an instant.

"Damn it!" Inside the Wei family mansion, Wei Wenxuan fiercely smashed the tea table in the room. With the truth exposed and his plan failed, there was no chance for Lin Mo to apologize now.

"Master... I really couldn't do anything." The guard beside him trembled as he spoke.

Wei Wenxuan wanted to slap him, but considering Lin Mo's considerable abilities, even if his subordinates remained silent, Lin Mo could use his mental energy to extract information. He had no choice but to restrain himself.

"Forget it, it's not your fault." Wei Wenxuan then said, "Although we couldn't force Lin Mo to apologize for this matter, I still have a chance at the Nine Provinces Grand Event. If I remember correctly, Lin Mo has contributed nothing to the Ancient Institute. Even if he participates in the event, he will be in the lowest tier. By the time he reaches the level where we are, everything will be too late."

"Thank you, young master, for sparing me." The guard said in relief.

"Young... young master, maybe you don't need to take action." The guard suddenly thought of something and continued, "That disciple who hasn't left seclusion for many years, Ye Xuan, isn't he the personal disciple of the Punishment Pavilion's master? If he comes out and learns that Lin Mo insulted his master, he might not let it go."

The guard said.

When Ye Xuan was mentioned, a trace of fear flashed in Wei Wenxuan's eyes. Ye Xuan's strength could only be described as terrifying. While it was normal for the Nine Prodigies of Lai Prefecture to compete with each other, no one dared to challenge Ye Xuan. His strength was beyond comparison, and even the institution he founded, the Asura Hall, remained at the top despite his absence for several years, demonstrating its terrifying influence.

"Ye Xuan, the creator of the record of a thousand victories in the Ancient Institute's arena." Wei Wenxuan sighed. "However, if something happened to him during his time in the Labyrinth, both deans wouldn't remain so calm. He's the number one genius of the Ancient Institute, after all."

"As you say, it's for the best." Wei Wenxuan nodded. "If he comes out and eliminates Lin Mo, I won't need to take action."

......

After exposing Ling Xiao, Lin Mo returned to his residence.

"Are you suspecting that guy lied?" the old crafty man asked immediately.

Lin Mo shook his head. "Not exactly suspicion, but I couldn't see what his battle spirit was. Without seeing that, I won't believe him."

"Hehe, if you still want to investigate, I can help you without them noticing," the old crafty man chuckled.

"You old man, as soon as you have some ability, you're being cocky," Nine Lives teased from the side.

The old crafty man glared at her. "As long as you know I have the ability. Let me tell you, if it weren't for Lin Mo risking his life to save me, the first thing I'd do when I got back would be to smash your head!"

"Oh, you're so powerful," Nine Lives mocked.

"Forget it, now that the truth is out, I may not be his opponent even if it's revealed," Lin Mo said. "Ling Xiao's strength should be much stronger than Wei Wenxuan's."

"When the Nine Provinces Grand Event arrives, we can settle the score then," he continued.

"Fine, it's up to you," the old crafty man said.

"Oh, by the way, I just remembered, you owe me a beating!" Nine Lives suddenly remembered the previous incident and angrily said, "How could you abandon us? Do you think we're too weak?"

"Oh, don't mention us." At this moment, Zhao Yun also spoke up. "I understand Lin Mo's intention. He wanted me to bring reinforcements from this side. As for you... I don't know."

"You..." Nine Lives was furious.

"I just wanted to give you more time to improve your strength. After all, if you went, it wouldn't be very effective," Lin Mo waved his hand.

"I don't care, you have to give me an explanation," Nine Lives angrily crossed her arms.

"Can we skip this?" Lin Mo said and then took out Sheng Dao's inner core.

The core was a deep green color, emitting a terrifying power. Just looking at it gave people a creepy feeling, and the power within it was also terrifying.

"This..." Nine Lives was speechless when she saw the object.

"Old man, dissipate the power of this core. Can your grand formation handle it?" Lin Mo asked while holding the core.
