Seeing Lin Mo leaving, Wu Yu clenched his fists tightly, a trace of extreme venom flashing in his eyes. He was an elite disciple of the Five Primus Sect and had a domineering reputation in this ruined city. Being humiliated in public today, how could he be willing to swallow his pride, especially since the other party also took away his Space Ring, which contained three Nether Origin Stones...

"Senior Brother, are you, are you alright?"

At this moment, the other disciples of the Five Primus Sect finally came back to their senses. Just now, seeing Lin Mo's fierce and domineering move, sending Wu Yu and his Corpse Master flying with a single punch, they were so frightened they dared not step forward.

"Get out of the way!" Wu Yu waved his hand, but it aggravated the internal injuries within his body. A sweet taste filled his throat, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Wu Yu hastily took out a Healing Pill and swallowed it. The medicine power transformed into a warm current that spread instantly throughout his body, greatly alleviating the pain within. However, that punch had already caused internal injuries, and fully recovering would require at least a few days and numerous medicinal materials.

To be publicly humiliated, given Wu Yu's usual overbearing personality, was unbearable. Moreover, this place was the territory of the Five Primus Sect. "Damn it, I must kill that little bastard!"

After cursing a few times, Wu Yu, supported by two fellow apprentices, managed to stand up. He glanced at the fallen Corpse Master on the ground and couldn't help but frown, feeling a pang in his heart. The Corpse Master was the Five Primus Sect's core Magic Treasure, akin to a Sword Cultivator's Lifebound Flying Sword. Cultivating it was equally challenging, and crafting a Corpse Master was extremely difficult, requiring regular nurturing with True Essence and Netherworld Power.

The Corpse Master was essentially the second life of a Five Primus Sect cultivator. However, Lin Mo's punch had damaged the Array within the Corpse Master. Repairing it for battle readiness again would require an unknown amount of Netherworld Stone.

Thinking of this, Wu Yu's heart filled with more hatred. He quickly stored the Corpse Master in his Space Ring and turned to leave the square.

"Senior Brother, should we send someone to track that kid, preventing him from escaping!" A disciple of the Five Primus Sect frowned and quickly suggested.

"No need. That little bastard is arrogant and likely won't escape immediately. Moreover, this area is fraught with danger. Leaving the ruined city would mean certain death if encountered by a Beast..." Wu Yu squinted his eyes, a cold light flashing in his pupils. "Let's return and find Senior Brother. I must avenge this humiliation."

With those words, the group swiftly headed south. Soon, they saw a palace-like building with numerous Five Primus Sect disciples sitting cross-legged inside and outside, meditating and cultivating.

"Wu Yu, Senior Brother?" Someone noticed the pale-faced Wu Yu upon leaving and immediately stood up to approach.

"Where's Senior Brother? I must see him!" Wu Yu repeatedly asked.

The Five Primus Sect disciple replied, "Senior Brother Wu Yu, Senior Brother is currently in closed-door cultivation, at a critical juncture, and has not seen anyone for the past few days."

"Could it be that Senior Brother is crafting a Star System Level Corpse Demon?" Wu Yu was slightly shocked upon hearing this but then said, "Alright, let that kid enjoy a few more days of freedom. Once Senior Brother's Corpse Demon is completed, even the Hexagram Sect won't be a match for our Five Primus Sect."

...

Returning to his shabby house, Lin Mo retracted his wave-like Spiritual Power and murmured softly, "The Five Primus Sect didn't send anyone to track me, probably assuming I wouldn't leave here... Moreover, the perimeters of the ruined city should have scouts from the Five Primus Sect. If I were to leave, they would immediately be informed."

"Five Primus Sect? If they dare provoke me again, I won't spare them." Lin Mo grinded his teeth, his eyes flashing with two cold gleams. "In the ruined city, there are two intermediate Star System level auras. One should belong to the Five Primus Sect, and the other to the Hexagram Sect..."

However, Lin Mo was a bit puzzled as to why members of both the Hexagram Sect and the Five Primus Sect were gathered here, yet not a single disciple from the Netherworld Sect or Refining God Pavilion was seen. Even if they were randomly transported to this area, quite a few disciples should have appeared from the Refining God Pavilion and Netherworld Sect.

"Could it be that the Ancient Secret Realm has more than one space, and the people from the Refining God Pavilion and Netherworld Sect entered another space?" Lin Mo was secretly amazed. Until he saw members of the Refining God Pavilion and Netherworld Sect, this was the only explanation that made sense.

Afterward, Lin Mo dismissed the thought. No matter what secrets lay hidden in this Secret Realm Space or what reprisals the Five Primus Sect plotted, everything depended on strength. Without strength, everything was mere wishful thinking.

As for the intermediate strongman of the Five Primus Sect, Lin Mo was not afraid. Although it might be difficult to kill him, the other party would also find it challenging to capture him.

"This is the Space Ring from that guy earlier. I wonder if it contains any secrets about the Corpse Master?" Lin Mo took out a Space Ring. It was a dark purple and felt more substantial than an ordinary Space Ring. With Spiritual Power invading it, he erased all Spiritual Imprints on the ring.

Inside were some Elixirs, talismans, and Magic Treasures... However, in Lin Mo's current view, these things were somewhat unworthy. Oh, three Nether Origin Stones, something Lin Mo urgently needed. A mere high-level Star Sea Realm guy had three Nether Origin Stones, indicating the Five Primus Sect likely mobilized many people to hunt the surrounding Beasts.

While Beasts were formidable, they were somewhat lacking in spiritual wisdom. Faced with a prepared ambush from many, they struggled to survive. As long as the killing was swift, preventing the Beasts from summoning other companions, no significant danger would arise.

"Three Nether Origin Stones, plus the four Nether Origin Stones I just exchanged for, make a total of seven Nether Origin Stones. After purification, I can obtain 140 pieces of Pure Nether Stone. At this rate... I could gather enough Pure Nether Stone needed to advance to a Second Seal Nether Pattern Master within three days." Thinking of this, Lin Mo flashed a smile of joy on his face and began focusing on refining and purifying the Nether Origin Stones.

Several Nether Origin Stones floated in mid-air, radiating a peculiar purple glow. Unlike pure Nether Stones, these purple Nether Origin Stones contained the violent and fierce aura of Beasts, extremely concentrated. A typical person, if consuming them without purifying with True Yuan, would suffer severe consequences, even losing sanity in madness.

These purple auras and Evil Qi surged in waves inside the room. Fortunately, Lin Mo had already laid down Arrays to block them; otherwise, such a commotion would easily attract the prying eyes of other strong entities.

"Hmm, I didn't expect this Evil Qi to have such an effect!"

While purifying the Evil Qi in the Nether Origin Stones, Lin Mo suddenly realized that the impact of the Evil Qi on his meridians actually served as a form of tempering. Although the effects weren't prominently evident, the sensation of honing was tangible, continuously cleansing his internal organs and bodily structure.

Once the seven Nether Origin Stones were purified, Lin Mo flexed his fists, a crackling sound resembling frying beans emanating from his body, "My physical body surprisingly became slightly stronger."

Purifying the seven Nether Origin Stones yielded a total of 140 Pure Nether Stones. Lin Mo's mouth curled into a satisfied smile. He gazed at the sky, now shrouded in a thick dusk under a canopy of stars. The night wind howled against the roof tiles with a sorrowful wail.

"The Five Primus Sect didn't come for revenge?" Lin Mo furrowed his brows. While purifying the Nether Origin Stones, he had remained vigilant, guarding against an unexpected retaliation from the Five Primus Sect.

Of course, he didn't believe that his display at the square had intimidated Wu Yu and the Five Primus Sect, discouraging them from seeking vengeance. Likely, the Sect's strongmen had more crucial matters to attend to, temporarily delaying their retaliation... His speculation matched the situation with the Five Primus Sect precisely.
