A myriad of whispers continuously spread within the crowd. Even those unacquainted with the name Lin Tanyu gradually understood Lin Tanyu's identity through the fragmented conversations.

Curious eyes then gathered on Lin Mo, as if anticipating some good events. After all, three days ago, the news of Lin Mo injuring Elder Mu's subordinate had already circulated, suggesting a rift between Lin Tanyu and the Refining God Pavilion.

The four elders on the high platform saw Lin Mo standing on the stage, and they squinted slightly, apparently aware of Lin Mo's reason for coming. Each wore a disdainful expression on their faces.

"So it's Little Brother Lin Tanyu..." Luo Hong saw Lin Mo appear, his eyes briefly flashed with a sharp brilliance, then his face brightened with surprise. Abruptly, he stood up and laughed heartily: "I thought Little Brother Lin Tanyu was already... Well, I sent disciples from the Refining God Pavilion to Wuta Star to search for Brother Lin Tanyu's traces, but there's been no news. I even thought Little Brother Lin Tanyu was dead."

"Thank you, Master Luo, for your concern. Isn't Lin Tanyu standing before you in good health now?" Lin Mo replied coldly.

Luo Hong should have long known I was alive; he simply pretended I didn't exist and left me out. As for Lin Mo's talk about returning the mysterious statue in three days, it was merely a joke to him.

The Refining God Pavilion is a supreme force in the Klaka Star System. Unless a renowned Star Domain Level expert arrives, what basis does Lin Mo alone have to oppose the Refining God Pavilion?

"As long as you're alive, Little Brother Lin Tanyu, why not return to rest first, and once I finish matters here, I shall come to meet you." Luo Hong said with a smile.

"No need for rest, I have come to reclaim what belongs to me."

Lin Mo said casually. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Though Luo Hong's tone was polite, it held a hint of disdain and contempt. Other people on the square seemed to notice something between the two, watching Lin Mo on the platform with amused interest.

"Oh, my mind almost forgot this matter." Luo Hong laughed: "Three years ago, during the Wuta Star visit, I promised Little Brother Lin Tanyu a generous reward if he helped my Refining God Pavilion obtain the treasure!"

With that, Luo Hong turned to Elder Mu, saying: "Elder Mu, bring out ten million soul coins to give to Brother Lin Tanyu."

Ten million soul coins is already a substantial wealth for some ordinary cultivators. However, compared to Lin Mo nearly dying on Wuta Star, these ten million soul coins are undoubtedly mere alms.

"Lord Lin Tanyu, this space ring contains ten million soul coins. Take these soul coins and leave, or else..." Elder Mu stood up, then tossed out a space ring, speaking calmly with a hint of threat in his tone.

Facing the thrown space ring, Lin Mo reached out and grasped it in his palm, slightly furrowing his sword eyebrows. It appeared the Refining God Pavilion did not regard him, such a minor figure. After all, he was merely at a high-level Star Sea Level cultivation. If he were a Star Domain Level expert, would the Refining God Pavilion still dare to act so boldly?

Elder Mu coldly gazed at Lin Mo. Were it not for Miss Luo Yi having a somewhat good relationship with Lin Mo, perhaps even these ten million soul coins would have been saved.

Crash!

Suddenly, True Yuan condensed on his palm, turning Lin Mo's hand metallic and exuding a chilling sheen, directly crushing the space ring into powder, which slowly flowed down his fingers.

Witnessing this, Luo Hong's thick brows gradually knitted together, his expression waning into profound seriousness.

Elder Mu's eyes shot out two beams of cold light, and he shouted harshly: "Lin Tanyu, what is it you intend to do? Aren't the ten million soul coins satisfactory?"

"Ten million soul coins, it's just beggar's pay. Elder Mu, do you remember what I told you three days ago? I want the mysterious statue. If you don't hand it over, I'll destroy the Refining God Pavilion." Lin Mo exclaimed coolly, his black eyes ablaze with determination.

Though the voice wasn't loud, it was fraught with infinite killing intent.

At this moment, the crowd below erupted in a hubbub. They knew the Refining God Pavilion in the Klaka Star System, though merely a branch, held formidable power. Without a Star Domain Level expert mobilized, who dared proclaim they could annihilate the Refining God Pavilion?

"Outrageous!" Elder Mu bellowed, as a mighty True Yuan instantly surged out, transforming into a hurricane enveloping his entire body. Immediately, the suppression of a Star System Level early stage expert unfurled unrestrainedly.

"Lin Tanyu, how much effort did my Refining God Pavilion expend, and how many disciples sacrificed, all to obtain that treasure? With just a word, you wish to take the mysterious statue? Who do you think you are?" Elder Mu coldly snorted.

Lin Mo remained indifferent as cold True Yuan also surged forth, forming a mist-like protective shield on his body to block Elder Mu's unleashed suppression, and he retorted with a chilling laugh: "Back when on Wuta Star, Master Luo Hong for the sake of obtaining the mysterious statue caused me to fall into that Black Hole space. The mysterious statue has been with the Refining God Pavilion for three years; it's time I took it back!"

"Presumptuous, arrogant!" Elder Mu squinted slightly, his eyes shimmering with killing intent, "Lin Tanyu, since you want the mysterious statue, then you must cross me first!"

Elder Mu had long been somewhat envious of the treasure on Lin Mo. After all, Lin Mo managed to kill Qiu Huo at an intermediate Star Sea Level, he surely carried precious artifacts. Elder Mu never found the opportunity to slay Lin Mo, but now Lin Mo comes of his own accord; how could he let such an opportune moment slip?

With that said, Elder Mu extended his hand as the hurricane-like True Yuan frantically converged into his palm, quickly forming a small hurricane at his palm, then it exploded forward, as a fierce hurricane suddenly roared forth.

"Do you think you alone can kill me, you old geezer!"

Lin Mo snorted coldly, his palm fiercely struck, the icy True Yuan enveloping his palm in frost. Then, the palm rotated slightly, forming an Ice Dragon with the True Yuan, roaring as it crashed into the hurricane.

The collision between the True Yuan Ice Dragon and the hurricane unleashed waves of True Yuan ripples, lifting all the dust on the platform. The Ice Dragon directly shattered the hurricane, then roared toward Elder Mu.

Elder Mu's expression slightly altered; he was meant to be a cultivation level higher than Lin Mo, such a difference akin to an insurmountable chasm. But Lin Mo's True Yuan was so mighty and condensed, coupled with a severe coldness, equaling some Star System Level experts.

"Fine, I will consider you seriously." Elder Mu's expression twisted into a grimace, then his palms joined, swish, swish, swish... hundreds of huge swords condensed from True Yuan formed overhead in the sky. Subsequently, these sharp True Yuan swords transformed into sword rays, swiftly shooting toward Lin Mo.

The wonderful spectacle continues tomorrow...
