Chapter 608 - 608 Special System Mission
608 Special System Mission
‘Mu Yuzhu also noticed it? When?’
Lin Mo was shocked. Did Mu Yuzhu see through the Soul Devouring Bag, or perhaps she only saw some clues?
“As expected of the 9th ranked in the Hidden Dragon Rank. Luckily, we didn’t become enemies…”
As Lin Mo sighed, he was also relieved. Perhaps Mu Yuzhu still had not given up on trying to win him over, so she probably would not make an enemy of him.
Unless the supreme inheritance of the Kun Peng appeared, then this superficial friendship would probably be shattered.
‘I hope she won’t hold a grudge.’
Lin Mo shook his head and stopped thinking about it. At the same time, the system notification was heard.
[Congratulations for successfully auctioning a heaven-grade tier 1 True Phoenix Nirvana Technique.]
[Successfully triggered a 9,000 times auction rebate.]
[Congratulations on obtaining a tier 2 True Phoenix Nirvana Technique.]
The rebate did not give him any offensive martial arts, but the continuation of the True Phoenix Nirvana Technique.
“This is a surprise.”
Lin Mo nodded in satisfaction. Nonetheless, he suddenly thought of something and could not help but feel a little confused.
“Why didn’t the rebate for the Qilin Step appear?”
Lin Mo was shocked. Could the system have forgotten? That would not do. The Qilin Step was his most powerful killing move.
He was still hoping for the next few moves after the rebate, but the system did not give it.
[The auction for the Qilin Step hasn’t been completed. The high-grade spirit stones that you received are defective. You’ve received a special mission.]
[Kill Te Mu, the unscrupulous buyer, a Ruler in the first step. If you succeed in killing him, you’ll be rewarded with the complete version of the Qilin Step.]
The system’s notification was heard once more. Lin Mo was shocked by it and also the elder’s strength.
He was not a match for a Ruler. Although his combat power was very strong at the moment, it was still a bit difficult for him to fight someone who was two realms above him.
Moreover, that person whose name was Te Mu was a Ruler, so there was definitely something special about him.
“The last auction item is also what everyone is most concerned about. It’s an incomplete art of the ancient divine beast, the Kun Peng. It’s the Kun Peng Wings.
“I won’t go into detail about the Kun Peng Wings. Everyone knows its effects.
“Let’s cut to the chase. The starting price is 60 million high-grade spirit stones. The highest bidder will get it.”
Everyone’s hearts started to race. Could they find the inheritance of the Kun Peng with the help of this art?
Their breathing was a little heavy. If it was not for the fact that they still had some rationality left, they would have made a move to snatch it.
“I didn’t think that a little rascal like you would have so many treasures on you. You’ve truly surprised me.”
While everyone was bidding, a few figures were rapidly flickering on the distant horizon. They arrived in a few breaths.
“It’s the Black Death Sect.”
Someone was shocked. Were the Black Death Sect and the Gongsun clan not exploring a secret place?
Was there an outcome already?
“Eh? Gongsun Wenhao didn’t come. Only the people from the Black Death Sect came, and not all of them.”
Soon, people realized that the secret land that the Gongsun clan was exploring had not been fully exploited. They had no time to come over.
Nevertheless, they did not want to miss the opportunity of Lin Mo’s appearance, so they sent a few people over.
There were three of them, and each of them was a half-step Ruler.
They had intended to take Lin Mo down by force and snatch the Kun Peng Wings that were being auctioned off.
The three of them attacked. They formed an Inescapable Net with their spiritual Qi. It descended from the sky at an extremely fast speed and enveloped Lin Mo.
Once the three half-step Rulers trapped Lin Mo, he would not be able to escape.
Seeing this, Lin Mo did not sit still and wait for death. He took out the Mountain River Painting to counterattack.
“Bang!”
The next moment, a muffled sound exploded in the air.
The Inescapable Net was instantly broken, and a wave of spiritual Qi as vast as the sea spread, helping Lin Mo resolve the crisis.
At the same time, it also forced the three half-step Rulers back. They took a dozen steps back in the air before they could stabilize themselves.
“Mu Yuzhu, what’s the meaning of this?”
The three of them shouted angrily as they stared at the stone platform. Mu Yuzhu had stood up, her eyes slightly narrowed.
She was the one who had made the move. Otherwise, even if Lin Mo had not been captured, it would have been extremely difficult for him to break free.
“I also want to ask what you mean. Right now, we’re participating in an auction. The final item is about to be auctioned, and yet you’re here to cause trouble.
“Do you people from the Black Death Sect think that I can’t do anything to you just because you’re with the Gongsun family?”
Mu Yuzhu sneered as she stood on the stone platform. Although she was a half-step Almighty at the peak of the ninth step, she was still a powerful being.
The power and pressure she gave off made the three half-step Rulers tremble.
‘What kind of terrifying combat power and cultivation base is this? Is this a prodigy who’s ranked ninth on the Hidden Dragon Rank?
‘If she really has the intention to kill, none of us would be able to escape today…’
“What an arrogant tone. You…”
One of the three Rulers said in dissatisfaction. This was Cloud State, not Bamboo State. He did not expect Mu Yuzhu to still have such a high profile.
“What powerful strength. She could’ve broken through to the second step a year or two ago and become an Almighty powerhouse.
“For the sake of the ancient battlefield of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion, she chose to suppress her powers…”
Mu Yuzhu’s attack had secretly broadened Lin Mo’s horizons. Such power was much stronger than Gongsun Wenhao’s.
“Perhaps I can ask Mu Yuzhu for help with the mission of killing Te Mu…”
The price Lin Mo had to pay to get her to help would be a little high, but it should be within his acceptable range.
Moreover, if they killed Te Mu, Mu Yuzhu would also get some extra rewards, so she probably would not reject it…
“Alright, I’ll wait for you to finish the auction.”
The three people from the Black Death Sect did not dare to go too far. Otherwise, they would not be able to take the public’s anger, not to mention that Mu Yuzhu was also eyeing them like a tiger watching its prey.
“The Black Death Sect bids 80 million. There shouldn’t be any restrictions for this auction, right?”
Although they had chosen not to make a move, they could still bid. Once the auction was over, they could kill Lin Mo and would not have to pay the spirit stones.
“81 million.”
Mu Yuzhu said softly and increased the price by one million as if she wanted to compete for the Kun Peng Wings.
“You…”
The three men from Black Death Sect were shocked and furious, their eyes filled with unwillingness.
Mu Yuzhu had her eyes on the Kun Peng Wings, so she probably would not give up now.
“Big Brother, the mission is more important. Let’s capture Lin Mo first.” Seeing that one of them was about to rush out and reprimand Mu Yuzhu, the others quickly stopped him.
They could not afford to offend Mu Yuzhu at this time. If they let her get what she wanted, she would just stand by and watch.
“85 million.”
At this moment, another bid was heard. This surprised Lin Mo. It was the elder whose name was Te Mu.
He started bidding again, and for a moment, he became the object of everyone’s attention.
First, he revealed killing intent toward Mu Yuzhu and took away the Qilin Step. It was not easy for him to fade out of sight, but now, he was being watched again.
“Does he have that many spirit stones?”
Lin Mo was a little shocked. The elder was probably a rogue cultivator, but he was also the richest rogue cultivator he had ever seen.
An ordinary rogue cultivator could not afford two heaven-grade martial arts…
Especially the Kun Peng Wings. Since they were in the Kun Peng Nest, once the art appeared, it would be the target of all. Anyone who got it would feel anxious.
“Since you want it, then I’ll give it to you.”
