Mu Yurou is making outrageous demands! Who dares to steal my monster?

At Zhenyuan Pass, atop those towering city walls.

The wild wind howled, carrying a thick scent of blood that assaulted the senses.

Lin Mo stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze calm as he looked down at the cruel, meat-grinder-like battlefield below, his eyes deep.

And by his side, there was now a "little tail."

It was none other than Mu Yurou, the girl with the conspicuous white hair whom he had just "scammed."

"What do you say?"

"Are you planning to follow me onto the battlefield?"

Lin Mo turned his head and glanced at the girl who was following closely behind him, never leaving his side. A playful curve couldn't help but form at the corner of his mouth.

Just now, to make up for the loss of her Death-substitute Jade Pendant,

this girl actually had the gall to demand fifty million High-Grade Spirit Stones as "mental distress compensation"!

Good grief!

When he heard that number, Lin Mo almost spat out a mouthful of blood; he was instantly stunned.

Fifty million High-Grade Spirit Stones!

That was enough for him to go to the Wanyu Merchant Alliance and buy half the Materials needed to refine a nation-suppressing divine artifact!

This girl really dared to dream and speak; did she think his money grew on trees?

Obviously, faced with such ridiculous extortion... cough, claim, it was naturally impossible for Lin Mo to agree.

However, although he had no intention of paying, he didn't refuse directly.

Instead, he put on a "strapped for cash" act, making an excuse that his funds were currently tied up and he didn't have that many Spirit Stones, so he could only owe her for now.

As for why he said that... it was naturally to play the long game, to trick Mu Yurou into continuing to follow him!

After all, only by making this girl feel there was profit to be made and keeping her glued to his side,

would he have the chance to subtly brainwash this special talent with the "Heavenly Derivation Dao Pupil" and eventually lead her to Great Xia to shine!

And Mu Yurou was clearly completely unaware of Lin Mo's sinister intentions.

At this moment, her mind was filled with the huge sum of "fifty million."

In her view, since the other party only frowned after hearing the number and didn't flip out or kick her away on the spot,

then it meant... there was hope!

This was definitely a super-duper big gold mine!

Even if he couldn't produce it now, he would surely be able to pay it back later!

This was fifty million!

If she could get her hands on it, why would she bother telling fortunes anymore? She could just lie back and be a rich lady!

So, how could she let go of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to strike it rich?

Even if she had to go through hell, she had to keep a close eye on this "debtor"!

"Uh..."

However, when Mu Yurou poked her head out and caught a glimpse of the terrifying battlefield below the city walls, where flesh and blood flew and Devilish Qi surged...

Her face instantly turned pale, and her previously firm heart for wealth began to waver.

"Um... Big Brother."

She shrank her neck, gave two dry laughs, and said cautiously:

"Your little sister here isn't good at fighting. You know, I rely on my brain to make a living."

"That kind of killing and fighting scene really isn't suitable for a weak woman like me."

"How about... I wait for you here on the city wall?"

As she spoke, she reached out somewhat uneasily and grabbed Lin Mo's sleeve, her eyes full of vigilance.

"Let's agree on this first!"

"Don't you dare run away!"

"If you dare to welsh on the debt and flee, I... I'll draw circles and curse you every day!"

Seeing her cowardly appearance—both greedy for money and afraid for her life—Lin Mo couldn't help but laugh.

"Fine, I won't run."

"I haven't done anything to feel guilty about, so why would I run?"

"Just wait here."

Hearing Mu Yurou's decision to stay, Lin Mo also felt a sense of relief.

Although he wanted to abduct Mu Yurou, it didn't mean he wanted to bring a burden onto the battlefield.

In a chaotic battle of that level, bringing a squishy mage who only knew how to tell fortunes—wasn't that just looking for trouble?

If he had to be distracted to protect her, it would greatly affect his efficiency in farming mobs... oh no, killing enemies!

Mu Yurou not following was exactly what he wanted!

"Great!"

"Then go ahead, Big Brother! Be safe!"

Upon getting Lin Mo's assurance, Mu Yurou immediately broke into a smile; her speed of changing faces was truly a sight to behold.

"By the way, Big Brother, you're so powerful, you'll surely kill many from the Demon Race, right?"

"If you earn battle merits, remember to share a portion with me!"

"After all, whoever sees it gets a share!"

This girl didn't forget to try and greedily grab another bit even at the last moment.

As for whether Lin Mo might suddenly fall on the battlefield and never return, causing her fifty million to go down the drain... Mu Yurou hadn't considered that at all!

Are you kidding?

With that blinding Golden Sun of Luck over this guy's head, plus the unspeakable, terrifying Karma he carried... if he could fall on this tiny Aurora Domain battlefield, that would be truly seeing a ghost!

"Heh, no problem."

"Wait for me to return."

Lin Mo nodded with a smile and didn't waste any more words.

He turned around, his dark eyes instantly becoming sharp, his gaze like lightning as it swept across the smoke-filled battlefield in the distance.

This anti-demon battlefield was massive, with a very long front line.

He needed to find a "golden farming spot" with many mobs, high quality, and no strong competitors to steal his kills.

Soon.

His gaze locked onto a position on the southwest side of the battlefield.

There, Devilish Qi soared to the sky, and the cries of battle were the most piercing!

A Demon General clad in heavy black armor and wielding a giant axe was leading an elite demon army, rampaging through the Human Race's defensive line as if no one were there!

That Demon General exuded a suffocatingly terrifying fluctuation; he was actually a powerful existence who had reached the Dao Integration Realm!

"Hmph, weak human ants!"

"Truly vulnerable!"

The Demon General laughed wildly, swinging his giant axe violently.

Boom!

A pitch-black axe light swept out. Several Void Refinement Realm human experts who had joined forces to resist didn't even have time to scream before they were cut in half, their blood splashing across the sky!

"Kill!!"

"Tear this defensive line apart for me!"

Under the leadership of that Demon General, this ferocious demon army had an unstoppable Aura.

They actually managed to tear a huge gap in the solid defensive line and began to advance triumphantly, with no one able to stop them!

"A Demon General of the Dao Integration Realm, huh..."

Lin Mo narrowed his eyes, a cold smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"Not bad. A demon of this strength is a big fish on the Battle Merit Board."

"Slaughtering just one is worth nearly ten million battle merits!"

"He's mine!"

Seeing the Demon General acting so arrogantly, a cold light flashed in Lin Mo's eyes, and the blood in his body instantly boiled.

He stepped forward, about to rush into the battlefield to teach that Demon General a lesson!

However.

Just as he took a step and before he could even use his Void Sword Intent.

Crack!

In the distant sky, a huge crack suddenly split open without any warning!

Immediately following that.

A small flying boat, shimmering with flowing light and possessing an extremely luxurious and grand design, forced its way out of that crack and headed straight for the center of the battlefield!

Atop that flying boat, a huge flag embroidered with a Thunderous Blazing Sun was hanging, fluttering and snapping in the wind.

"What's the situation?"

"Whose flying boat is being flown here?"

This scene left Lin Mo, who was about to act, stunned.

It's currently a period of total war; haven't all flying boats stopped operating?

Which reckless rich second-generation has come to the battlefield for sightseeing?

But before he could react.

Rumble!

A clap of thunder exploded!

From atop the flying boat, a terrifying figure surrounded by purple lightning suddenly rose!

That figure had a violent Aura. Without a word, after picking a direction, it turned into a bolt of purple lightning.

Carrying a world-destroying power, it charged straight toward the Dao Integration Demon General Lin Mo had just selected... with incredible force!

"Holy crap?!"

Lin Mo's eyelid twitched at the sight.

"Is this freaking... someone coming to steal my kill?!"
