At this time, an old man with a white beard who called himself Kuzhu said: "I am a poor Taoist, Kuzhu, today my fellow Taoist Lin is visiting our Heavenly Demon Sect. You and I are destined to share some wonderful teachings."
Lin Mo saw that he had good cultivation and smiled back: "Senior Kuzhu said something serious. Lin is not talented, but I would like to ask you for advice."
The two continued to discuss cultivation and elixirs. Lin Mo did not deliberately show off, but was steady and calm, which gradually impressed everyone.
In the interaction with Ku Zhu, Lin Mo showed a confident and friendly side. He and Ku Zhu complimented each other, and the communication between them was full of a relaxed and happy atmosphere. The humility and sincerity shown by Lin Mo made him stay in the hearts of everyone.

After some conversation, Hu Qinglei suggested: "I'm afraid Taoist friend Lin has just arrived and hasn't rested yet. How about we move inside the hall and we can continue the conversation?"
Everyone expressed their agreement. There were whispers in the hall, all discussing Lin Mo's identity.
"Senior Lin seems to be related to Yinluo Sect?" A young man in green robe asked tentatively.
"How do you say this?" Hu Qinglei raised his eyebrows, "Yinluo Sect has been in trouble recently, how can Fellow Daoist Lin be related to it?"
After hearing this, Lin Mo's expression remained unchanged and he said calmly: "This junior did have an encounter with the Yinluo Sect, but please tell me this in detail in person to avoid misunderstanding."
When everyone heard what he said, they suddenly became interested and began to speculate about the relationship between him and the Yinluo Sect...
Lin Mo maintained a calm and calm attitude in the face of everyone's curiosity. He answered some questions calmly and at the same time guided the direction of the conversation, showing his social acumen and wisdom. Everyone's reactions to him were also mixed.

Hu Qinglei's topic triggered questions from some monks to Lin Mo. Some people asked about his relationship with the Yin Luo Sect. Lin Mo took a deep breath: "I did have a grudge against the Yin Luo Sect."
Lin Mo spoke calmly and frankly admitted that he had killed the leader of the Yinluo Sect.
This news was like throwing a stone into still water, causing an uproar immediately.
"What!" "Fellow Daoist Lin personally beheaded the leader of the Yinluo Sect?" Everyone was in an uproar.
"Although what you did was reasonable, it was against our rules after all." An old man frowned.
"You are exaggerating." Lin Mo said with a smile, "I just want to understand the old grudges and have no other intentions."
Everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Mo, and earth-shaking changes suddenly occurred. Some people were shocked, some couldn't believe it, and some were in awe.
Although everyone was surprised, they could understand Lin Mo's actions. Lin Mo's calm and calm attitude left a deep impression on everyone.
"Since Fellow Daoist Lin has killed the leader of the Yinluo Sect, he must have mastered the secret." A young monk asked tentatively, "Can you tell me what happened at that time?"
Lin Mo described the entire process without hesitation and was honest about his behavior.
Although everyone was surprised, they couldn't help but look at Lin Mo with admiration - not only was he extremely powerful, he was also calm and unhurried in doing things, and he was not at all as vicious as the rumors outside said.
"Fellow Daoist Lin is well-informed and must know the secrets of the Yinluo Sect very well." A middle-aged man said with a smile, "I really hope that Friend Daoist Lin can give me some advice and open our horizons."
Lin Mo responded to various inquiries calmly, and gradually people changed from shock to recognition of his strength and personality...
At this time, three top maids walked into the main hall slowly. They were all stunningly beautiful, and they were truly beautiful and fragrant.
When three stunning female nuns entered the hall, everyone was fascinated by them. Their looks were outstanding and amazing, as if they were fairies walking out of paintings. They walked gracefully, and every step caused a burst of exclamation and noise.

The monks took out carefully prepared congratulatory gifts and presented them to the three beautiful maids to express their respect and courtesy. These maids were graceful and outstanding in appearance, shining like elves in the spotlight of the banquet.
Lin Mo also took out a few pills from his storage bag and put them on the gift plate calmly. Although it was not as extravagant and wasteful as others, it was still polite and thoughtful enough.
He was well aware of his status in this banquet, and at the same time, he hoped to show his sincerity through this gift. The smell of the elixir filled the air, attracting the attention of some monks, and they couldn't help but be more interested in Lin Mo's strength.
of curiosity.
"Thank you fellow Taoists for your generous gift!" The three maids thanked them in unison, with joy on their faces.
Lin Mo smiled lightly, said a few polite words and stopped talking. Everyone saw that he was measured and looked at him differently.
All of a sudden, the gift plate was piled with all kinds of rare treasures and medicinal materials. There was nothing shabby about it, but it was full of excitement and celebration.
The atmosphere became more and more lively, and people began to communicate and exchange gifts, creating a festive atmosphere. On this festive occasion, the hall was filled with strong emotion and warmth.
"Sisters Zi Ling, Zhao Yang, and Cui Hua are so radiant!" All the male cultivators smiled and complimented them repeatedly.
Lin Mo couldn't help but take a second look, secretly sighing at the beauty of the country. But when his eyes fell on Zi Ling, he couldn't help but froze.
The appearance of Zi Ling made Lin Mo's face change slightly, and his emotions seemed to be affected. The moment Zi Ling saw Lin Mo, her eyes also ignited with excitement. Her pupils shrank suddenly, and she softly exhaled his
Name: "Lin Mo..."
The two looked at each other, and everyone present saw some clues and cast curious glances. Especially Zi Ling's behavior and expression aroused everyone's curiosity.
"How could...how could it be you?" Lin Mo's expression suddenly changed, unbelievable.
The hall was so quiet for a moment that you could hear a pin drop. Everyone was full of doubts and speculations about the special relationship between Lin Mo and Zi Ling, and discussions broke out one after another. The face of the old man Mu Guan also became gloomy, and he seemed to also

The eyes of the old man Mu Guan wandered between the two, trying to explore their relationship. The atmosphere in the hall was solidified, and everyone was waiting for the next development, full of curiosity about the story of Lin Mo and Zi Ling.
"Zi Ling, do you know fellow Daoist Lin?" Hu Qinglei asked curiously.
"Fellow Daoist Lin was a benefactor in the past, and Zi Ling will never forget his kindness." Zi Ling hid her thoughts and forced a smile.
Everyone felt puzzled and surprised when they saw this. Lin Mo's face was also very strange, as if he was hiding something from the past.
The look between Lin Mo and Zi Ling instantly made the atmosphere of the whole scene weird.
Everyone felt strange that there seemed to be some unspeakable past between the two people.
The tense atmosphere in the hall seemed to have reached its peak. This unusual situation seemed particularly abrupt in the previous festive atmosphere. Everyone's eyes met, and it was as if they could hear each other's heartbeats.
"I wonder what the relationship between Taoist friend Lin and Sister Zi Ling is? Can you explain it to us to resolve our doubts?" A young monk asked tentatively.
Lin Mo's brows wrinkled slightly. He felt the attention of everyone, but he remained calm. His emotions and entanglements with Zi Ling were not willing to be exposed in front of everyone, but at this moment, he felt as if he was being pushed to the forefront.
"This matter is in the past, there is no need to mention it again." Lin Mo said lightly.
Zi Ling lowered her head, hiding the ups and downs in her heart. The story between her and Lin Mo seemed to be unpredictable, and it also made the whole scene tense.
The atmosphere in the hall seemed to be still, and everyone's eyes shuttled back and forth between Lin Mo and Zi Ling.
After not seeing each other for many years, Lin Mo is no longer the young scholar he once was, but a mature man full of masculinity. Zi Ling's heart was full of mixed feelings, including surprise, joy, and a little bit of disappointment.
Hu Qinglei looked at Zi Ling with a smile, stood up at the right time, raised the wine glass in his hand, opened his conversation to Lin Mo, and to everyone: "Today, our Demon Palace rarely welcomes a distinguished guest, this
She is Zi Ling, the concubine of my Demon Palace, and everyone is lucky enough to see her face."
The atmosphere in the hall became even more tense under Hu Qinglei's words. Everyone was talking and looking at each other, trying to find clues from each other's eyes. Especially those who knew the relationship between Hu Qinglei and Zi Ling, there was a look in their eyes.
A little more playfulness and curiosity.
Lin Mo kept a calm expression on the side. He seemed to have expected such a situation. He was aware of Zi Ling's emotional turmoil, but he did not reveal too much. He just smiled and waited for the next development.
Hu Qinglei looked at the two of them and sneered: "Humph, it turns out you two know each other. In that case, then Zi Ling, why don't you give Lin Mo a glass of wine? This can be considered a settlement between you."
Zi Ling took the wine glass, her hands trembling slightly. The atmosphere in the hall suddenly heated up the moment Zi Ling took the wine glass. The monks' eyes were fixed on her. It seemed that the whole scene had stopped, and only the glass of wine was left in the air.
swaying.
Zi Ling raised her wine glass, her eyes flickered slightly, and her lips trembled slightly. She felt the gaze of countless eyes, which made her feel extremely complicated.
She knew that at this critical moment, she couldn't appear too excited, but the fluctuations in her heart made it difficult for her to stay calm.
Her eyes stayed on Lin Mo for a moment, and then she turned her eyes to the wine glass in her hand.
She knew that once she drank this glass of wine, it would mean that she officially accepted her status as Hu Qinglei's concubine, and the relationship between her and Lin Mo would also deteriorate.
Zi Ling's hands were trembling slightly, but she still walked steadily to Lin Mo and gently placed the wine glass in front of him.
"Lin Mo, I toast you this glass of wine." Zi Ling's voice was weak, but full of complex emotions.
Lin Mo nodded slightly, took the wine glass, didn't say anything, just smiled lightly, and drank it cleanly.
Zi Ling looked up at Lin Mo, with sadness in her eyes and as if she was expecting something. She bit her red lips and was about to raise her glass and drink the wine in her hand, but she shook it suddenly and almost spilled the wine.
It turned out that Hu Qinglei saw that Zi Ling was reluctant to raise the glass, so he secretly imposed a ban on her, trying to force her to drink the glass of wine.
"I...I can't drink this glass of wine." Zi Ling said tremblingly, with despair in his eyes.
She knew that at this moment, her fate was in the hands of others and she had no choice.
Lin Mo looked at it, frowning, and a burst of anger rose in his heart...
"Zi Ling, drink this glass of wine quickly!" Hu Qinglei's tone was no longer gentle, but full of impatience.
Zi Ling held the wine glass, her hands trembling slightly, but she still didn't drink it.
"You don't want to regret it, right?" Hu Qinglei sneered, "I don't have the patience to play these tricks with you."
"Zi Ling may need some time to adapt, so you shouldn't force it." Lin Mo tried to dissuade him.
"Why do you, an outsider, interfere in the internal affairs of the Demon Palace?" The old man with wooden crown narrowed his eyes, and a hint of murderous intent emanated from him.
Lin Mo was not afraid, but smiled and said: "I just care about my friends. Miss Zi Ling obviously has something to hide, so it's not appropriate to force her."
"Haha, it's hard to tell?" Hu Qinglei laughed, "It sounds like she has a choice. She is now a member of the Demon Palace and must act according to my wishes."
"You!" Zi Ling glared at Hu Qinglei, with deep hatred in his eyes.
"Come here, put more restrictions on this ungrateful woman!" Hu Qinglei shouted.
Several demon cultivators responded and approached Zi Ling.
"Stop!" Lin Mo shouted, and his momentum exploded instantly, knocking away the demon cultivators.
"You!" The old man Mu Guan and Hu Qinglei changed their colors at the same time.
"It seems that Zi Ling did not do it voluntarily." Lin Mo said calmly, "I even doubt whether you forced her to be abducted?"
"Hahaha!" Hu Qinglei laughed wildly, "This is the magic way, the strong is respected! It's all nonsense about voluntariness or not. Since she has entered the magic palace, she can only obey my orders!"
"The devil should have its own rules and should not be intimidated." Lin Mo said calmly.
"What a loud tone!" Hu Qinglei gritted his teeth, "Why do you think you are equal to me? Today I want you to see what the rules of the Demon Palace are!"
The tension between the two people was tense, and the spiritual pressure was surging. The entire demon cultivator in the hall retreated consciously for fear of being affected. Only Zi Ling was still standing there, looking at Lin Mo in his eyes, with mixed feelings in his heart...
Lin Mo stared at Zi Ling intently, as if looking for the answer in her eyes. Under Zi Ling's emotional gaze, he slowly said: "Zi Ling, I have a question for you. I hope you can Be able to answer sincerely.”
"I just want to confirm one thing." Lin Mo looked at Zi Ling and asked calmly, "Did you become Hu Qinglei's concubine out of your own free will?"
Zi Ling couldn't hide her bitterness. She opened her mouth but stopped talking.
This question was like a bombshell that dropped into the atmosphere of the hall. Everyone's eyes turned to Zi Ling, waiting for her answer.
Zi Ling was caught in a conflict, her emotions fluctuated, and her heart seemed to be pulled by an indescribable force.
