A moment later, two black, flying-wing beast-shaped flying devices stopped a hundred kilometers ahead, seemingly arriving specifically for Lin Mo.

Within the flying device, Lin Mo slightly furrowed his sword-marked eyebrows. The Dark Demon Domain was fraught with danger, and these two flying devices were very likely Star Sky Pirates.

"We are from the Refining God Pavilion, with no ill intent. We merely wish to discuss a matter with you!"

At this moment, a hoarse voice resounded from within the flying device, as if transmitted from the front device.

"Refining God Pavilion?" Lin Mo frowned. He had quite some history with the Refining God Pavilion, and it seemed the other party didn't look for trouble with him, though he wasn't sure what they wanted.

Hesitating for a moment, Lin Mo eventually flew out of the flying device, storing it back in the Space Ring, and directly flew towards the front. However, his current appearance had already transformed, turning into an ordinary person who could easily blend into a crowd and disappear. Additionally, he had switched the Ghostly Compassionate Netherfire to his main soul, thus exuding a dark and cold aura all over.

"Sir, our Refining God Pavilion means no harm. Please come in for a detailed discussion."

When Lin Mo approached a flying device, its door had already opened, and a faint voice sounded inside again.

Lin Mo's spiritual power had already probed the other party's realm, revealing them as a Star System Level Beginner Strongman, with a robust True Yuan aura, likely surpassing Qiu Huo. However, Lin Mo also had confidence that even if there was bad intent, he could easily depart, as Star System experts posed no threat to him at present.

Swoosh!

Transforming into a streak of flowing light, Lin Mo entered the flying device's interior. These flying devices could substitute for cultivators in flight, and were quite comfortable, equipped with defense systems, making them a common choice for starry voyages, though their attack abilities couldn't match combat-oriented spaceships.

Within the flying device was a spacious, wide hall made of metal, where an old man with black hair and a black robe stood, flanked by two personnel resembling guards, both of whom possessed Intermediate Star Sea Level cultivation.

"You must be the hero who killed Qiu Huo?" The black-haired old man remarked upon seeing Lin Mo, his seemingly cloudy eyes scrutinizing Lin Mo like a hawk, as a false smile adorned his heavily wrinkled face.

"And who might you be?" Lin Mo inquired indifferently.

"We are from the Refining God Pavilion, and this old man is an elder at the Klaka Star System branch. You may call me Elder Mu." Elder Mu remarked with a cheerful smile.

Lin Mo silently nodded.

"How should I address you?" Elder Mu inquired with a smile.

"Lin Tanyu." Lin Mo replied.

The Dark Demon Domain was perilous everywhere, and Lin Mo had no intention of revealing his true name, except for friends like the Silver Queen to whom he had disclosed it.

"Sir Lin Tanyu, your slaying of Qiu Huo has thrown the Golden Scale Clan into chaos, making you a young hero." Elder Mu mentioned with a chuckle, "It is assumed Sir Lin Tanyu has acquired Qiu Huo's Space Ring and obtained the Golden Law Pearl."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo slightly furrowed his sword-marked eyebrows, surprised that this old man knew Qiu Long possessed the Golden Principle Pearl.

Seeing Lin Mo's reaction, Elder Mu said, "Sir Lin Tanyu, there's no need to worry. This old man isn't here to seize treasure. Instead, I have a matter that I'd like to request your assistance with!"

"A favor?" Lin Mo faintly lifted the corner of his mouth, not believing that the cunning old man before him would offer any benefits, knowing well that the world's hustle and bustle was about seeking gain, and the world's chatter was about considering profit.

"The Golden Scale Clan is controlled by the Netherworld Sect, which is a major force in the Klaka Star System, quite on par with our Refining God Pavilion. By killing Qiu Huo of the Golden Scale Clan, you have undoubtedly made an enemy of the Netherworld Sect, and they won't let you leave the Klaka Star System unscathed." Elder Mu elaborated slowly, "But if you agree to assist our Refining God Pavilion, we can ensure your departure, as a mere Golden Scale Clan isn't enough for the Netherworld Sect to wage war against us."

"Elder Mu's goodwill is acknowledged. However, I'm confident that if I wish to leave the Klaka Star System, no one can stop me." Lin Mo stated indifferently.

Hearing Lin Mo's words, Elder Mu merely chuckled, "Young men with arrogance have their reasons, but in this case, Sir Lin Tanyu may not want to miss it. If successful, there's a chance to gain insight into the Gold Principle."

Just as Lin Mo was about to leave, he halted abruptly upon hearing this, and turned back, a trickle of spark in his gaze, "A chance to gain insight into the Gold Principle?"

"Indeed. Do you know how Qiu Huo acquired the Golden Principle Pearl? If it wasn't this pearl that enabled him to comprehend the Gold Principle and ascend as a Star System Level expert, how would he dare to suppress numerous clans?" Elder Mu elaborated.

If there was a chance to gain insight into the Gold Principle, Lin Mo didn't wish to let this opportunity slip by, as understanding principles was exceedingly difficult, requiring opportunity and personal comprehension. Acquiring principle comprehension through external means required immense luck, as treasures capable of offering such insights were exceedingly rare.

"Sir Lin Tanyu, please follow us back to the Refining God Pavilion, where I will explain the details slowly." Elder Mu remarked with a grin, noticing hesitation on Lin Mo's face.

He knew well that the opportunity to comprehend principles was more enticing than money or beauties for any cultivator.

"Alright."

Lin Mo nodded. With his current strength, even if two Star System level experts ganged up on him, he had ways to evade, hence he wasn't concerned about the Refining God Pavilion's trickery.

During the return journey, Elder Mu explained the entire situation in detail.

About a decade ago, a powerful energy fluctuation erupted unexpectedly on a remote planet within the Klaka Star System, attracting numerous experts from within the system looking to explore the treasure. However, everyone returned empty-handed eventually. Nevertheless, some obtained a Golden Law Pearl, through which the Gold Principle could be comprehended.

Back then, the entire Klaka Star System was swept into a storm of blood and conflict, with countless perishing in attempts to seize the Golden Law Pearl.

In the last two to three years, the fluctuations on that planet have intensified, prompting many to believe a supreme treasure might surface. According to investigations, a World-level expert was buried on that planet, and it's likely the Golden Principle Pearl was formed by condensing his principle insights before his demise.

Both the Netherworld Sect and Refining God Pavilion plan to compete for the treasure. The Netherworld Sect has one Intermediate Star System Level expert and four Star System Level Early Stage experts, similarly matched by the Refining God Pavilion's forces.

However, the Netherworld Sect controls several races within the Klaka Star System, possessing numerous Star Sea Level experts.

The Refining God Pavilion approached Lin Mo intending to recruit him into their ranks to compete for the treasure buried within the planet. After all, Lin Mo, having killed Qiu Huo, had incurred the Netherworld Sect's ire, ruling out the possibility of joining their camp.

"So that's how it is!" Lin Mo squinted slightly, contemplating internally.

More excitement to continue tomorrow.
