On the square, hundreds of gazes converged on Lin Mo and Ming King. Naturally, the happiest were the disciples of the Wu Kui Sect such as Wu Yu and Lei Ying, while the faces of Xue Chen, Jing Xiao, and Le Qian had already turned paler. The strength of a Star System Level Intermediate Strong person, even if Lin Mo's strength was impressive, couldn't change the vast disparity in their realms.

Facing Ming King's sudden sweeping pressure, Lin Mo too revealed a trace of solemnity. Then, a Beast Transformation Map began to form in front of his chest, reverberating with the sound of thunder inside his bones and meridians, though only he could hear this sound. The sharp and cold True Yuan within Lin Mo's Dantian roared out, forcibly withstanding the suppression from Ming King, surprisingly creating a balance-in-resistance state. This change made Ming King slightly narrow his eyes, a trace of astonishment climbing onto his face.

"No wonder you dared to injure a disciple of my Wu Kui Sect. Even Lei Ying is no match for you. You are indeed a genius with some skills!" Ming King stood with his hands clasped behind, astonished but not enough for Lin Mo's strength to make him appear solemn. After all, the realm gap between the two was clearly evident.

"Our Wu Kui Sect has always liked to recruit some geniuses; you are considered a rare talent. Now, as long as you join our Wu Kui Sect and let me imprint my spiritual power on your soul, I can spare your life."

Ming King said indifferently, yet his tone carried a sense of coldness, implying no small amount of threat.

Imprint spiritual power on his soul?

Lin Mo sneered, saying, "Want me to be your puppet? I'd rather die a quick death. Besides, just with you wanting to kill me... I'm afraid it's a bit difficult, isn't it?"

"Fine, let me shatter this hard-headedness of yours, then refine you into a Corpse Master. I have encountered many geniuses, but most have died at my hands." A chilling arc spread from Ming King's mouth, and then a cold and sharp light shot out from his pupils. Just as he was about to act, Xue Chen stood out, frowned, cupped his hands and said, "I am Xue Chen from the Hexagram Sect. You are the Chief Disciple of the Wu Kui Sect, and a Star System Level Intermediate Realm expert. Bullying a Star Sea Level High Realm cultivator in front of so many heroes might damage the Wu Kui Sect's reputation."

"Hmm?" Ming King frowned, sneered, and said, "Someone from the Hexagram Sect? Don't try to provoke me with your tricks. No one has ever been able to escape when I'm determined to kill." Upon hearing Ming King's words, the brows of Xue Chen furrowed deeper. He had only Star System Level Early Stage cultivation, and attempting to stop Ming King from killing Lin Mo was simply impossible. Moreover, the Wu Kui Sect also had four Star System Level Early Stage experts, surpassing the Hexagram Sect's lineup.

If they truly fought, their side wouldn't gain any advantage.

As for the 'Free People' faction of spectators in the square, there was an apparent hint of sympathy and pity in their gazes.

It seemed today, Lin Mo wouldn't escape death.

"Ming King, this brother has some ties with my Hexagram Sect. How about giving me some face and sparing him?" At this moment, a voice once again resounded across the silent and spacious square.

Xue Chen, Jing Xiao, and Le Qian's faces brightened instantly, and they raised their heads. All they saw was a ray of light flash across the sky, and then a young man gracefully landed on the square, dressed in white.

The young man was handsome and carried an air of majesty, holding a folded fan, which opened and closed with a scholar's flair.

But this young man was not a fragile scholar; on the contrary, the suppression emanating from him faintly overshadowed Ming King slightly, revealing he too was a Star System Level Intermediate Realm expert.

"Elder brother!"

"Elder brother, you have finally arrived!"

"Elder brother, Brother Lin Tanyu saved me and two fellow disciples. The grace of saving our lives, Xue Chen dare not forget, but we're afraid of implicating Hexagram Sect..." Xue Chen spoke.

This young man was none other than the Chief Disciple of Hexagram Sect — Guo Lu. Guo Lu's face was filled with a friendly smile as he looked at Ming King and said, "Ming King, this time we've entered this mysterious space just for treasure hunting, is it necessary to incur so much enmity? This brother saved my sect's disciples; give me a small amount of face, and spare him once."

"Guo Lu, who do you think you are to make me give you face?" Ming King slightly narrowed his eyes, revealing a touch of cold light, but inwardly, he was calculating quickly. If the Wu Kui Sect and Hexagram Sect fought over Lin Mo, it could lead to others benefiting from the situation.

"What does Ming King want to do then?" Guo Lu asked indifferently. Ming King responded, "Since this young man has deep ties with Hexagram Sect, I do not wish to war with Hexagram Sect. But he injured my disciples, humiliating the face of Wu Kui Sect. If we don't handle him, how will I explain to the disciples of Wu Kui Sect? How will the face of Wu Kui Sect be preserved?" Ming King declared, "As long as he can withstand my three moves and still survive, I will spare him."

Three moves?

Letting a Star Sea Level High Realm cultivator withstand the three moves of a Star System Level Intermediate Realm expert might likely result in being struck dead.

"Alright, I'll take your three moves." Lin Mo suddenly spoke. Hexagram Sect intervening had already shown great kindness, and besides, he didn't have much connection with Guo Lu; surely they wouldn't go to war with Wu Kui Sect for him, especially in this unknown space where dangers might await. To deplete strength now was unwise.

"Brother Lin Tanyu..." Xue Chen said anxiously. Three moves from a Star System Level Intermediate Realm expert weren't easy to withstand, especially when Ming King was filled with anger and determined to kill without restraint. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"No worries, Brother Xue, your good intentions are appreciated, but since all this began because of me, I don't wish to make it difficult for you." Lin Mo turned back and flashed a grin at Xue Chen.

Xue Chen frowned lightly, sighing softly, Lin Mo's performance had always exceeded expectations; perhaps he really could withstand Ming King's three moves. "Fine, today I'll let you witness a Copper Corpse I've just refined recently. You're lucky to be the first to encounter it." As Ming King spoke, he waved his hand, gathering dense Black Fog in the sky.

Amidst the Black Fog, a two-meter tall figure gradually appeared in the people's sight. Lin Mo's gaze fixed on it, as the Black Fog thinned, revealing the figure clad in Black Armor. It had no Life Aura, but emitted a chillingly dangerous aura, as the Black Fog surrounding it continually drilled into its nose, ears, mouth. After fully ingesting the Black Fog, the figure suddenly opened its eyes, with a flash of blood glinting in its pupils.

Wu Kui Sect was famous for their talismans, magic, and corpse refinement, and this Copper Corpse was tens of times stronger than the Corpse Master previously used by Wu Yu, comparable to an early-stage Star System Level expert. Furthermore, Corpse Masters feared no death, had no sense of pain, and no soul weaknesses, with true Combat Power enough to rival ordinary Star System Level Intermediate Realm experts.

Seeing the Copper Corpse appear, Guo Lu, Xue Chen, and several others revealed a solemn expression. For the past days, Ming King and several Wu Kui Sect's Star System Level experts had been closed off, evidently to refine this Copper Corpse.
