After everyone discussed it, Ling Yuling said: "Fellow Daoist Lin, we can provide you with the Yuanci Divine Light Cultivation Method to ask for your help. What do you think?"
After hearing this, Lin Mo pondered for a moment and then slowly spoke: "The Yuanci Divine Light is an important skill in your star palace, and I understand your difficult situation. But the exchange of a skill is still far from the risk I face personally.
.I need more protection to help Xinggong."
"What kind of conditions do Fellow Daoist Lin think we need to provide in exchange for your full help?" Ling Yuling asked.
"This..." Lin Mo smiled and said nothing, waiting for Xing Gong's response.
Everyone fell into thinking and discussion again. After a while, the old man surnamed Zhao said: "Fellow Daoist Lin, we can add the right to use the Yuanci Mountain. As long as you can help us contain Wan Tianming, we can combine the two.
supply."
Lin Mo pondered for a long time, and finally nodded slowly: "Okay, with Yuanci Divine Light and Yuanci Divine Mountain, I can agree to help Xinggong contain Wan Tianming. But I have to save my life. I hope you will forgive me."
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lin!" Everyone looked happy, Xing Gong finally found a glimmer of hope.
After Lin Mo said goodbye and left the Star Palace Hall, the old man surnamed Zhao personally sent him to the side hall to rest.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, I would like to express our gratitude to you for your help. Please stay here with us for a few days to cultivate yourself, and then leave after you recover." Elder Zhao greeted him with a smile.
"Thank you, Elder Zhao, for your help. I will be meditating here these days." Lin Mo responded politely.
Watching Old Man Zhao leave, Lin Mo stood alone in the side hall. He recalled the negotiation attentively, and vaguely felt that Old Man Zhao spoke at a critical moment, seeming to be hinting at something to him.
"I wonder if there is something fishy about Elder Zhao, or am I just paranoid?" Lin Mo said to himself. He decided to stay vigilant at all times during his stay in the Star Palace and be careful to deal with various variables.
After Lin Mo left, Ling Yuling convened a meeting with several elders of Xing Palace to discuss countermeasures.
"I have reached an agreement with Lin Mo, and we hope to get his help." Ling Yuling said, "We need to formulate a detailed decisive battle plan to completely annihilate the Rebel Alliance."
"The Anti-Star Alliance city defense formation is extremely powerful, we must find a way to break through." Elder Zhao analyzed.
"I think we can ask Lin Mo to help contain Wan Tianming, and then Xinggong will attack the formation with all its strength." Another elder suggested.
"What a good idea. We can divide our forces into two groups. Lin Mo will lead Wan Tianming away on one side, and we will attack the city on the other!" Ling Yuling's eyes lit up.
"Then how about setting the date for the decisive battle on a full moon night? We must fight quickly."
"Okay, it's settled. We will go all out to defeat the Counter Star Alliance in one fell swoop!"
Everyone nodded one by one, and the date for the decisive battle in the Star Palace was decided.
Lin Mo was meditating alone in the side hall. Suddenly he opened his eyes, and a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He got up and went to a secret room, formed several magic formulas, and projected a tiny point of light into it.
"Old thief Ximen, I finally found you. This time, you can't escape." Lin Mo murmured to himself, with a gloomy look on his face.
He fixed the light spot inside Elder Ximen's body, and when the time was right, he could launch an attack immediately.
"You hide it so deeply, and you seem to be quite wary of me. But it's all to no avail. I will never let you go."
The next day, Lin Mo followed Elder Zhao's instructions and went to visit Elder Ximen.
"Fellow Daoist Lin has extraordinary cultivation. It is really an honor for me, Ximen, to be able to teach you the wood-attribute skills." Elder Ximen said politely.
The two exchanged many experiences on the wood-attribute mentality, and Elder Ximen became more and more open to Lin Mo.
Lin Mo listened and silently analyzed Elder Ximen's weaknesses in his heart.
"The old guy is quite enthusiastic and seems to have no defense against me. He is bound to win this time." Lin Mo thought to himself.
After the two had a cordial exchange, Lin Mo said goodbye and left. He understood Elder Ximen's habits and laid the foundation for the implementation of the plan.
In the dead of night, the alarm bell suddenly sounded in the Star Palace, and the disciples were running around in chaos.
It turned out that Elder Ximen suddenly disappeared, and his cave was empty, as if he had evaporated from the world.
This sudden news shocked all the monks in the Star Palace, and they all rushed to Elder Ximen's residence, hoping to find out what happened.
"How could this happen? What kind of disaster has Uncle Ximen encountered?" Ling Yuling asked anxiously.
"Why did Elder Ximen disappear suddenly?" A Xing Palace disciple's voice trembled, obviously feeling incredible about this sudden incident.
"Yes, there's not even a body left, how could this be possible?" Another monk was also discussing.
Ling Yuling frowned and stood in the crowd with deep eyes, as if she was thinking about something. The atmosphere inside the Star Palace became tense. Although everyone did not dare to say it openly, many people began to secretly guess whether there was something fishy behind this.
This incident shocked everyone.
"We have sent people to search with all our strength, but we still have no clue." Elder Zhao sighed.
"Could it be done by outsiders? Or is it related to Lin Mo?" someone speculated.
"Stop guessing, let's search with all our strength first!" Ling Yuling shouted.
Everyone searched all night, but found nothing. Elder Ximen just disappeared without a trace.
"There must be a big problem with the disappearance of old man Ximen. We must find out the truth." Ling Yuling said in a deep voice.
"Yes, this may have something to do with the Counter Star Alliance. We must be more vigilant."
"And if this person can do such a big thing quietly, his cultivation must be unpredictable. We must proceed with caution."
After discussions with the senior officials of Star Palace, they still could not determine who was related to the disappearance of Elder Ximen. However, among everyone, the suspicion of Lin Mo seemed to be getting higher and higher. After all, he had only recently appeared in Star Palace, and his strength
It should not be underestimated. It is very likely to be related to the disappearance of Elder Ximen.
Ling Yuling looked calm and stared at everyone with deep eyes. She had already guessed that the disappearance of Elder Ximen might indeed be related to Lin Mo, but she could not find any evidence. Under the rules of the Star Palace, she could not accuse at will, let alone accuse unjustly.
one person.
Moreover, the most important thing is that at this time, their star palace can be said to be begging for help, so how can they put this matter on Lin Mo's head. If they really do that, they will simply drive Lin Mo away.
"We need to stabilize the situation and not let this incident become a disagreement within the Star Palace. At present, the most important thing is to prepare for the Anti-Star Alliance." Ling Yuling said firmly.
Everyone nodded, aware of the urgent situation at hand. The threat of the Counter Star Alliance was still before them, and whether it was the disappearance of Elder Ximen or other factors, they had to wait a little longer to face this threat.
Everyone fell into deep thought. The disappearance of the old man Ximen reminded them of the serious situation they faced.
"No matter what, we must prepare as soon as possible for the decisive battle against the Counter Star Alliance. I have sent people to recall all the outgoing disciples," Ling Yuling said.
Everyone in the Star Palace was in a state of tension.
In the Star Palace, senior elders gathered in a gorgeous conference hall. Their brows were furrowed and their expressions were heavy. Ling Yuling was sitting in the main seat. Her expression remained calm, but there seemed to be an imperceptible trace of emotion in her eyes.
worry.
"The situation in the Star Palace is getting more and more dangerous. Is it possible that Lin Mo is related to the death of the old man Ximen?" asked an elder in purple robes.
Another elder frowned and said: "Although we are suspicious, there is no conclusive evidence after all. Lin Mo is a powerful man with profound cultivation, and he always has a sufficient explanation for these things. We cannot accuse him directly, otherwise
It will arouse his disgust and may even make him hostile to Xinggong."
Ling Yuling nodded slightly and said thoughtfully: "Lin Mo's strength cannot be underestimated. He is indeed capable enough to deny this accusation. We must be careful not to offend him."
"But if he is really related to the death of old man Ximen, what should we do?" Another elder said worriedly.
Ling Yuling looked calm and did not ask too much about the old man Ximen. He only ordered: "If you have no clue, just leave it for now. We must concentrate now and prepare for a decisive battle with the Anti-Star Alliance."
The senior officials of Xing Palace were well aware of the silent disappearance of the old man Ximen, but they could only make vague guesses and had no way of holding him responsible.
The elders discussed this matter privately, and all of them spoke hesitantly:
"The disappearance of old man Ximen was too strange, and the timing coincided with Lin Mo's arrival..."
"Exactly. After our investigation, it was found that the old man Ximen disappeared without a trace after the day Lin Mo left the hall. The timing is too coincidental."
"But Lin Mo has a high level of cultivation, and we have no evidence to accuse him. We can only strengthen our defenses secretly, and don't believe what he says."
"Exactly. Now that the enemy is facing us, we must unite as one. We can only let this matter go and not pursue it for the time being."
The elders sighed again and again, knowing that it was extremely difficult. Lin Mo was so powerful that they were unable to investigate, so they could only suppress the matter.
"Well, if Lin Mo goes back on his word midway, we must have a countermeasure."
Several people were discussing in low voices, with solemn expressions. At this time, Lin Mo walked slowly, saw them, frowned slightly, and said: "Do you have anything to worry about? The war is coming, it is better to concentrate on dealing with the Counter Star Alliance.
."
Lin Mo reappeared in the Star Palace and attracted everyone's attention.
Everyone looked at each other, no one dared to express their doubts. Lin Mo smiled, ignored him, and left.
The senior officials continued to whisper, fearing Lin Mo's strength and the city. If Lin Mo really wanted to harm them, how could he stop him? He could only secretly be vigilant to prevent Lin Mo from turning against him midway.
At this time, Elder Zhao felt like he was sitting in his heart. When he learned about the disappearance of the old man Ximen, his expression changed drastically. He recalled the day before yesterday when he and Lin Mo exchanged their cultivation experience behind closed doors, and then the old man Ximen disappeared silently.
Elder Zhao has always been a thoughtful person, and now he has noticed some abnormalities. The sudden death of the old man Ximen, and Lin Mo's retreat from seclusion, these two things seem unusual. He began to consider escaping, but he was worried that he had nowhere to go.
Can escape.
"Elder Zhao, what's wrong with you?" A monk with an equally keen mind noticed Elder Zhao's expression and asked with concern.
Elder Zhao quickly calmed down his emotions and said with a strong smile: "It's okay, I'm just nervous for a moment. The war is coming, so I'm just a little worried."
Elder Zhao secretly speculated that Lin Mo must have managed to get rid of the old Ximen. He still remembered the look Lin Mo gave to the old Ximen when he left the hall, which seemed to foretell something ominous.
Now that the old man Ximen has passed away, Elder Zhao did not dare to accuse Lin Mo rashly and could only avoid it. He lied that he had something important to do and stopped going to serve Lin Mo.
Lin Mo seemed to notice something strange about Elder Zhao, but did not expose it. He just said lightly: "If Fellow Daoist Zhao has something important, I won't be able to delay you. For now, we should focus on dealing with the Counter Star Alliance."
Elder Zhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly said some polite words and left.
For the next few days, Elder Zhao hid in the cave. He was always wary of Lin Mo's whereabouts, fearing that he would follow in the footsteps of the old man Ximen.
Lin Mo's strength is unfathomable, so Elder Zhao can only be cautious, avoid everything, and hope that the end of the war will come soon.
Lin Mo reappeared in front of the disciples of the Star Palace. Although everyone was in awe of him, they still had some doubts about the purpose of his participation in the war.
"Lin Mo is a great monk. It may be easy for him to face the Counter Star Alliance alone. Why do he have to impose so many conditions?"
"I heard that he will only take action against Wan Tianming and will not care about others at all. What should we do?"
Everyone was whispering, with different expressions. Lin Mo remained calm and said calmly: "I only have hatred for Wan Tianming, and I am inconvenient to get involved in your other internal disputes. But being able to intercept Wan Tianming will be of great benefit to you. Don't do it.
suspicious."
After everyone heard this, they also knew that Lin Mo had a resolute attitude, so they could only be wary secretly and stopped questioning outright.
At this time, Ling Yu walked around calmly and calmly, and said with a smile: "Brother Lin has promised, and he will not break his promise. The top priority is for us to settle the matter and deal with the outside world together."
Lin Mo smiled slightly and nodded. The disciples of the Star Palace finally calmed down and began to seriously prepare for the battle.
Lin Mo stood aside with an indifferent expression, but he had already seen these people clearly in his heart. He only had to wait for the retreat to end, so that he could obtain the divine light of Yuanci and successfully achieve the purpose of his trip.
Ling Yuling summoned all the disciples and formulated an attack plan.
Ling Yuling pointed to a red dot on a huge strategic map. This dot represented the Wind and Fire Pillar of the Counter Star Alliance. This was an important position of the Counter Star Alliance and held important resources. Breaking it would greatly weaken the Counter Star Alliance.
The strength of the alliance.
"We have received reliable intelligence. The defense of the Wind and Fire Pillar of the Counter Star Alliance is relatively weak at the moment. We will launch a surprise attack in three days, hoping to break through their position in one fell swoop." Ling Yuling's voice was firm and full of confidence.
All the monks are looking at the strategic map. They know that this battle will determine the fate of Star Palace. If they can successfully break through the Wind and Fire Pillar, it will bring a major advantage to Star Palace.
"This battle cannot be underestimated, and we must be fully prepared. Everyone must exert their best strength, and we cannot lose!" Ling Yuling's voice was passionate, conveying firm determination.
