Zhao Chuan was extremely nervous and terrified, because of the huge order that made Xuanxing Chamber of Commerce's scalp tingle!

“Cough, cough, there's no need for such a grand bow.”

Seeing Zhao Chuan dripping with cold sweat, wishing he could bury his head in the floor tiles, Lin Mo lightly coughed and waved his hand, gently lifting him up.

Honestly, he wasn't some terrifying Devil Head; was there any need to be so scared at the sight of him?

Did he look that menacing?

“Ah haha… Senior…”

“I apologize, I’ve been busy with official duties recently and am a bit tired, so my legs are not as nimble. You must be laughing at me.”

Zhao Chuan, having been helped up, let out a laugh, forcing a smile that was uglier than crying, trying to explain away his smooth little move from just now.

But in his heart, he was already cursing up a storm.

Oh my dear mother! Why is this ominous Immortal Master here again?!

It's only been a few days!

Could it be that I haven't been working hard enough these past two days, and something went wrong again, displeasing him?

It's over, is my position as City Lord coming to an end?

Am I going to die in the line of duty today?

In an instant, countless tragic ways of his own violent death flashed through Zhao Chuan’s mind, and he felt utterly terrible.

“May I ask, Senior, what brings you here today?”

“Could it be to inspect the atmosphere of Tianyun City?”

“Senior, please rest assured, I’ve been cracking down on public order very strictly these past two days!”

“Those blind fools like last time will absolutely, absolutely not appear again!”

After forcibly suppressing the fear in his heart, Zhao Chuan spoke with utmost respect.

His humble posture made it seem as if the King of the Ancient Spirit Dynasty himself had personally arrived in Tianyun City!

“Nothing, just happened to discover something related to the Ancient Spirit Dynasty’s reputation.”

Lin Mo completely ignored Zhao Chuan’s overly enthusiastic attitude, merely speaking indifferently.

“Ah?”

Zhao Chuan was stunned.

What does 'something related to the Ancient Spirit Dynasty’s reputation' mean?

This hat is too big; a mere City Lord of Tianyun City can’t wear it!

“Forgive this Junior’s ignorance, please enlighten me, Senior.”

Zhao Chuan was utterly bewildered, not understanding what Lin Mo was referring to at all.

“It’s like this.”

“A few days ago, the Black Fiend Sect provoked me.”

“So I conveniently wiped them out.”

“And then…”

Lin Mo wanted to explain the matter concisely,

But before he could finish speaking, he heard a “thud,” and Zhao Chuan, who had just been helped up, once again knelt down with precise smoothness.

And this time, he knelt even more smoothly and decisively than before.

“?”

“What’s wrong with you?”

Lin Mo was genuinely a bit exasperated now. Why did this person kneel at the slightest provocation?

Did he have springs in his knees or something? Was there something wrong with him?

However, at this moment, Zhao Chuan completely ignored Lin Mo’s disgusted gaze.

His mind was blank, and the entire world seemed to be left with only Lin Mo’s casual sentence.

What did I hear?

The Black Fiend Sect, notorious and entrenched in the Canglin Domain for many years, a headache even for the Dynasty… was wiped out?

Conveniently?

How is this possible?!

That was the Black Fiend Sect!

The Sect had three Golden Core True Persons, a major Evil Path power!

Not some random cats and dogs by the roadside!

What level of existence was this Senior to describe

wiping out a Sect with three Golden Core True Persons

as

convenient

?

Zhao Chuan’s worldview was utterly shattered at this moment!

“Senior, are… are you really not joking?”

The immense shock made Zhao Chuan’s voice tremble; he truly couldn’t believe the facts he had heard.

“Do I have that much free time to joke with you?”

“Look at this.”

Lin Mo didn’t bother with pleasantries, casually pulling out two tokens from his Storage Ring and tossing them in front of Zhao Chuan like trash.

The tokens clattered crisply on the ground.

“This… these are the Black Fiend Sect Leader’s tokens?!”

“It’s… it’s actually real!!!”

Zhao Chuan tremblingly picked up the two tokens from the ground, completely dumbfounded.

The tokens before him were made of extremely special Materials, entirely black, with an eerie, blood-red sheen flowing over them, and the two ferocious characters for “Sect Leader” engraved on the front.

On the back of the tokens, one was engraved with “Black Wind,” and the other with “Poison Scorpion.”

As the City Lord of Tianyun City, Zhao Chuan naturally knew the names of these two; these were precisely the infamous Second and Third Sect Leaders of the Black Fiend Sect!

“The Blood Fiend one was accidentally crushed when I made my move. I shouldn’t need to prove this again, right?”

Lin Mo then added nonchalantly.

This sentence made Zhao Chuan shiver violently, and the tokens in his hand almost fell back to the ground.

“No… no need!”

“Senior, I believe you!”

Are you kidding? Does this still need proof?

Who doesn't know that the three Sect Leaders of the Black Fiend Sect always worked as a trio?

Now that the identity tokens of Black Wind and Poison Scorpion are here, the people are definitely dead.

Then how could their elder brother, Blood Fiend, have fared any better?

“Alright, then I’ll get to the main topic.”

Seeing Zhao Chuan finally recover from his shock, Lin Mo continued the previous conversation.

Soon, he described in detail the massive prison he had discovered beneath the Black Fiend Sect, the tens of thousands of common people imprisoned within, and the possibility of them being transported to the Xuan Ye Dynasty.

“What?!”

“The Black Fiend Sect secretly abducted tens of thousands of ordinary people?!”

“And they were going to secretly transport them like goods to the Xuan Ye Dynasty?!”

“What are they trying to do?!”

Just like Lin Mo’s initial reaction, when Zhao Chuan heard about this, he was shocked but also utterly confused.

He also couldn’t understand what the Black Fiend Sect hoped to gain from such an outrageous and incomprehensible act.

“Who knows what they want to do.”

“Blood Fiend and the others are all dead, so there’s no way to ask.”

“This matter, your Ancient Spirit Dynasty will have to investigate yourselves.”

Lin Mo shook his head, looking as if it had nothing to do with him.

“Don’t worry, Senior! I understand!” Zhao Chuan’s face showed an unprecedented solemnity. “I will report this news to the Royal Capital!”

“Also, I will personally lead a team to the Black Fiend Sect to rescue those trapped civilians!”

Since he had received this news, as the City Lord appointed by the Ancient Spirit Dynasty, Zhao Chuan had an obligation to deal with it.

This was not only his duty but also a huge merit!

“Alright, the message has been delivered, so I’ll be leaving now.”

Seeing Lin Mo about to leave, Zhao Chuan, still kneeling on the ground, struggled to get up and respectfully see him off.

However, his legs were already too weak to obey, and he tried several times without standing up.

“Alright, don’t force it. If your legs aren’t well, get them treated quickly.”

Lin Mo glimpsed his comical movements and waved his hand with a hint of disdain.

“Yes… yes!”

“I will definitely get them treated!”

“Then… Senior, walk slowly!”

Zhao Chuan didn’t think to retort, merely showing an extremely fawning smile and respectfully bidding farewell to Lin Mo’s departing back.

It wasn't until Lin Mo's figure completely disappeared from the study that Zhao Chuan slumped, collapsing onto the ground, panting heavily.

After a long while, he shakily stood up, leaning on a chair, the fear and fawning on his face instantly vanishing, replaced by solemnity and lingering fear.

He dared not delay for a moment, immediately rushed out of the study, and began shouting loudly to organize people to go to the Black Fiend Sect... On the other side, after leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Lin Mo, familiar with the route, arrived at the Xuanxing Chamber of Commerce again.

Upon seeing him arrive again, the manager who had received him last time immediately beamed with joy.

“Senior, you’ve returned.”

“It is an honor that the intelligence our Chamber of Commerce provided last time was able to assist you.”

At these words, Lin Mo looked at him with a hint of strangeness.

What does that mean?

This guy knows I successfully wiped out the Black Fiend Sect?

How did they achieve such outrageous intelligence speed?

Did your Chamber of Commerce open a Heavenly Eye, or did you install real-time surveillance in the Black Fiend Sect?

“You know?”

Lin Mo’s expression remained unchanged as he casually asked.

“Senior’s Divine Might is unparalleled, and with the force of thunder, he easily erased the Black Fiend Sect, a malignant tumor entrenched for many years, from the map of the Ancient Spirit Dynasty.”

“This act has removed a great scourge for our Ancient Spirit Dynasty!”

The manager’s words were filled with excitement and awe.

And his words completely confirmed Lin Mo’s guess.

“Heh, your Xuanxing Chamber of Commerce’s intelligence network is quite interesting.”

“Never mind, none of that is important.”

“I’m here this time because I need your help.”

Lin Mo didn’t care much about the Xuanxing Chamber of Commerce’s intelligence capabilities, which were comparable to clairaudience.

He just wanted to know if they had the ability to handle the tricky big order he had.

“Just give the command, Senior, and our Xuanxing Chamber of Commerce will do everything in its power!”

The manager’s posture was even lower than last time; he was practically on the verge of kneeling before Lin Mo.

“I need everything on this list.”

“Price is not an issue.”

Lin Mo didn’t waste words, simply taking out the note Gu Zhiyun had written and handing it to the manager.

Then, he watched as the manager, who had just been composed, saw his smile stiffen at a visible rate, then turn to shock, and finally fall into complete silence.

“What’s wrong?”

“Is there a difficulty?”

Seeing the manager remain silent for a long time, Lin Mo couldn't help but ask.

“This… Senior, to be honest.”

The manager forced a bitter smile that was uglier than crying.

“This isn’t just a little difficult!”

“The Materials on your list, their preciousness, have far exceeded the limits our Xuanxing Chamber of Commerce can bear.”

He truly lived up to his reputation as someone who could wipe out the Black Fiend Sect single-handedly.

Just casually purchasing a batch of items nearly made his jaw drop.

Several items listed on it, even a manager of his level had only heard of them in ancient texts!

“Is there a solution?”

Lin Mo pondered for a moment, then asked.

“Yes!”

The manager’s answer was decisive, which greatly surprised Lin Mo.

He didn't speak further, but waited for the manager's explanation.

“Senior, although our Xuanxing Chamber of Commerce cannot handle this enormous order, someone can!”

The manager took a deep breath and said in an extremely solemn tone:

“Please wait here for a moment, Senior. Within a day at most, I will be able to give you a definite answer. What do you think?”

Lin Mo pondered for a moment and nodded.

One day, he could afford to wait.

Subsequently, under the manager’s personal arrangement, he temporarily stayed in an extremely luxurious room within the Chamber of Commerce.

And after Lin Mo’s figure disappeared,

the manager immediately shed his previous composure and rushed back to his room,

and took out a special communication jade slip, sending out an encrypted message at the fastest speed.

At the same time, within the Royal Capital of the Ancient Spirit Dynasty, an incredibly noble figure instantly received this message!
