"So it's Brother Hu Kuang returned. We were still discussing how to seek revenge from the Five Primus Sect for you."

The three Star System Level experts, two men and one woman, all appeared to be young people, among them, the young man walking in the middle spoke.

He wore a green robe, with a face pale as snow, hollow deep-set eyes, and a gaunt face, which made his bones protrude, giving him an exceptionally strange and gloomy vibe.

Beside him, another man was wearing fiery-red war armor, surrounded like blazing flames. Evidently, that armor was crafted from the shell of a beast, emitting a strong Fire Attribute aura, it's definitely no ordinary item.

As for the only Star System Level woman, she was dressed in a black robe, her face concealed by a black veil, exuding a cold aura, with two longswords on her back, evidently she was a Sword Cultivator.

Lin Mo glanced at the three, among them, the youth in green clothes had the strongest strength, faintly overshadowing the other two beside him, apparently already at the Peak of Star System Level Early Stage, just a step away from crossing into Star System Level Intermediate.

These three seemed to be the core force among the 'Loose People Alliance'. With them as the backbone, it was able to gather some unscrupulous Free People cultivators, forming this temporary coalition alliance. "I have already returned, no need for Brother Lao Du to worry." Hu Kuang lightly snorted, clearly a bit displeased, knowing well that if they wanted to rescue him, they'd have done so sooner and not waited until now. He was aware that their current 'Loose People Alliance' did not have the strength to directly negotiate with the Five Primus Sect, but his personality was strong-willed, looking down on Lao Du's pretentious appearance.

Lao Du lightly smiled, as if he hadn't heard the prickliness in Hu Kuang's words, then his gaze fell on Lin Mo, saying with a smile, "This must be Brother Lin Tanyu, who's recently risen to fame in the Ruins City?"

Lin Mo simply cupped his hands slightly, not speaking. The Five Primus Sect and Hexagram Sect each had a Star System Level Intermediate strongman stationed, along with four Star System Level Early Stage experts under them. Their lineup was evidently far superior to the Loose People Alliance. Now, with these three forces occupying the Ruins City, the Loose People Alliance was by far the weakest.

"Brother Lin Tanyu can make the Five Primus Sect retreat in disgrace, surely he has some abilities. Although just possessing a Star Sea Level High Realm Cultivation, he is already comparable to a Star System Level Early Stage expert." Lao Du slowly said.

Lin Mo, hearing his words, couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, as if belittled. Although Lin Mo defeated Lei Ying on the square, it was because Lei Ying was overly arrogant, and Lin Mo had used all his might, resulting in such an unpredictable outcome, so towards Lin Mo's true ability... many were not particularly recognizing.

Furthermore, Lin Mo managed to make the Five Primus Sect leave in disgrace partly thanks to the Hexagram Sect as Lin Mo had some connections with Hexagram Sect, otherwise, without Hexagram Sect's help, how could the Five Primus Sect let Lin Mo go?

"Although Brother Lin Tanyu and I both have Star Sea Level High Realm Cultivation, his strength is far superior to mine, let alone his courage in standing up against those Five Primus Sect scoundrels, who among us possesses such guts?" Hu Kuang suddenly spoke. This statement received quite a bit of agreement, many cultivators slightly nodded. Those who came to this Secret Realm to seize treasures were passionate cultivators, having been oppressed by the Five Primus Sect for too long, because the Five Primus Sect's power was too overwhelming, none dared to stand up against their tyranny, at least Lin Mo's actions have garnered a lot of respect from many.

Lao Du squinted slightly, a sharp chill slipping silently through his eyes. "I, Lao Du, also admire Brother Lin Tanyu's actions. The Five Primus Sect has been too bullying, this time suppressing their arrogance, also gave us 'Loose People Alliance' a bit more confidence." Lao Du smiled and continued, "Brother Lin Tanyu, let me introduce you, this one is Lie Huo, and this one is Hei Zhu. Now with Brother Lin Tanyu joining our Loose People Alliance, we can barely count as having four Star System Level experts."

Barely?

Lin Mo smiled, slightly nodding toward Lie Huo and Hei Zhu. The one in fiery war armor was Lie Huo, and the other was Hei Zhu.

Both also nodded without saying a thing, although Lin Mo's reputation recently surged, it involved many factors causing the Five Primus Sect to suffer, these two hadn't yet regarded Lin Mo as a true Star System Level expert.

Lin Mo at most was just stronger than ordinary Star Sea Level High Realm.

"Alright, we'll rest for three days first, waiting for the storms outside the Ruins City to weaken, then leave here to find treasures." Lao Du said aloud, then cupped his hands toward Lin Mo before heading back to the hall with Lie Huo, Hei Zhu, and others. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Storms?

Lin Mo slightly furrowed his brows, then went to find a secluded place with Hu Kuang, Liu Hong, and Wei Dao.

"Brother Hu, those three seemed a bit hostile towards me just now?" Lin Mo somewhat puzzled, he hadn't offended those three. "What else reason? You joined the Loose People Alliance and took their interests, besides you... you're not a real Star System Level expert, they certainly aren't convinced by you, although you have some connections with the Hexagram Sect, plus just having the Five Primus Sect lose face, those three dare not directly offend you." Liu Hong explained.

Lin Mo further confused, "I took away their interests?"

"Originally, the Loose People Alliance was only them three Star System Level experts. To join the Loose People Alliance and receive their protection, one must pay Nether Origin Stones or soul coins... Now with you here, you'll probably take a share away from them." Liu Hong said quietly.

Lin Mo was speechless, it seemed the Loose People Alliance was indeed loosely organized, these three Star System Level experts were charging protection fees.

"Bah, those three said they formed the Loose People Alliance to prevent us from being bullied by the Five Primus Sect and Hexagram Sect, and what happened? Whenever things arise they tuck their heads like turtles." Hu Kuang spat disdainfully. Lin Mo bitterly smiled and shook his head, "I joined the Loose People Alliance for Brother Hu Kuang's sake, as for collecting protection fees, I won't do it, you may also inform others, I won't charge money or treasures, but with me around, the Five Primus Sect won't dare bully us."

"Good, I knew Brother Lin Tanyu was loyal and righteous, a just person." Hu Kuang laughed heartily.

…In the following three days, Lin Mo was cultivating on the Loose People Alliance's grounds, until three days later, numerous figures flew into the sky, densely forming three forces occupying the sky, approximately five or six thousand people hovered above, each one's gaze fell

toward the same direction outside Ruins City. In that direction, tens of thousands of strands of yellow sand storms connected the heavens and earth, mysterious blue lightning flickers endlessly within the storms, even if a Star System Level Intermediate strongman entered, they would likely be immediately pulverized.
