649 Escape From Danger
The middle-aged man slowly approached. Qilin and Lin Moâs faces turned pale. This was serious. They were not strong enough. Fate and destiny could not be messed with...
âIf I give you the Silver Phoenix Fruit Tree, will you let us leave?â
Lin Mo said in a deep voice. He could not be stingy with his treasure at this time. If the other party discovered it, he had to quickly take it out...
âYou donât seem to want to negotiate.â The middle-aged man grinned hideously and walked closer.
Qilin and Lin Mo were alert at the same time. They took out the Green Cloud Sword and the White Jade Cauldron respectively.
Even a pre-Saint would drool over heaven-grade magic weapons of such level.
Unless one was a disciple of a major force, it was rare to have a heaven-grade magic tool.
âHeaven-grade magic tools of tier 6 and tier 4, respectively. Where are you two from?â
Seeing the two of them with their weapons, the mayor hesitated even though he was a quasi-Saint.
They had the Silver Phoenix Fruit Tree, and each of them had a heaven-grade magic tool.
Could they be disciples of some great force?
âDonât think about lying. As a quasi-Saint, I can sense your soul fluctuations. Thereâs no point in lying.â
The mayor said coldly. If Lin Mo and Qilinâs backgrounds were too strong, he would not be able to act rashly.
âSo powerful?â
Lin Mo was shocked. He looked at Qilin, and the little girl nodded. She had seen the means of a quasi-Saint.
After all, when she escaped from the Dragon Pavilion, countless quasi-Saints and above attacked her.
In fact, some of the more profound cultivators could even read the minds of weaker cultivators.
âIâm from the Bai clan of the Myriad Souls Mound in the Southern Continent. I wonder if youâve heard of us.â
Lin Mo answered, prepared for the worst.
This was the Northern Continent. No matter how powerful the Southern Continent forces were, they would not be able to threaten the people here.
Moreover, once the mayor knew of his and Qilinâs identity, they would be in trouble.
Even the Bai clan would take a risk in the Northern Continent. After all, Lin Mo and Qilin were related to the two great inheritances of the Qilin and the Kun Peng...
âYouâre from the Southern Continent...â
The mayor was stunned. He released a powerful soul fluctuation and locked onto Lin Mo.
After confirming the force that Lin Mo belonged to, he frowned.
âIâve never even heard of the Southern Continent. What kind of place is that? â The mayor asked.
The world was huge and boundless. Beyond the five continents, there was also an endless starry sky.
The mayor lived in the Northern Continent and knew that there was a Southern Continent. Even so, he had no idea about the geography of the Southern Continent and the layout of its forces.
âAlso, which force is she from?â As he spoke, he looked at Qilin.
Lin Moâs background might be terrifying, but he was not sure.
However, Qilin did not say anything. A heaven-grade tier 4 magic tool was worth fighting for.
âSheâs my younger sister whom I acknowledged during my training. Sheâs also considered a member of the Bai clan.â
Lin Mo said, trying his best to act natural.
He knew that the other party was apprehensive. His deterrence had some effect, but it should not be much.
âWe admit that our whereabouts have been exposed. We can give you these two heaven-grade magic tools if you let us leave through the teleportation formation.â
As for the Silver Phoenix Fruit Tree, Lin Mo did not mention it again.
A blind display of cowardice would only make the other party even more arrogant.
In the end, Lin Mo and Qilin might even be killed for their treasures. If a quasi-Saint were to make a move, they would have no chance of survival...
âHehe, youâre quite decisive.â
The mayor smiled and looked at Lin Mo. There was greed but also fear in his eyes.
âI wonât take them for free. I have a recommendation here that will allow you to enter the ancient battlefield.
âIt was originally meant to be the finale of the auction. Now, I can give it to you.â He smiled and also withdrew his aura.
âYouâre willing to let us go?â Lin Moâs eyes lit up. Qilinâs ability to change oneâs luck was still in effect.
This was almost like a narrow escape from death...
âOf course, but my auction house still needs to run. Now that Iâm giving the finale to you, shouldnât the two of you show some appreciation?â The mayor finally revealed his purpose.
âHere you go.â
Lin Mo and Qilin immediately handed over the Green Cloud Sword and the White Jade Cauldron.
It was a great fortune that they were able to escape. Losing two heaven-grade magic tools was nothing.
âYouâre not badâyou know how to give and take and are decisive. Iâll send you to the teleportation formationâ¦â
Seeing the two of them being so forthright, the mayor did not make things difficult for them. With a wave of his hand, he brought Lin Mo and Qilin to the western part of Fire City.
There was a huge black hole here, and inside it was the endless void.
âThereâs a large flow of people in Fire City, and the teleportation formation is always in operation. You donât have to pay any spirit stones, so you can go now.â
With that, the mayor raised his hand, and the Green Cloud Sword and the White Jade Cauldron flew into his hands.
At the same time, a golden invitation card flew into Lin Moâs hands. On it were two words formed by runes.
âDragon Invitation!â
This was the ticket to enter the ancient battlefield. Lin Mo had heard of it before.
However, this mayor obviously did not know that Lin Mo and Qilin were already on the Hidden Dragon Rank. They did not need a Dragon Invitation.
âLetâs go.â
Lin Mo pulled Qilin up and left immediately, unwilling to stay any longer.
The mayor did not stop them and just watched the two of them enter the teleportation formation.
Behind, spatial power appeared as two figures wrapped in loose black robes silently appeared.
âSir, what about the Silver Phoenix Fruit Tree?â
âDo you know whatâs the most important thing in Demon State?â The mayor sneered.
âWe have no idea.â The two of them shook their heads at the same time.
âIt is to be sensible. One has to know what one can or cannot take. The Silver Phoenix Fruit Tree is a tier 8 or even tier 9 heaven-grade divine tree.
âEven the top forces are willing to start a war for it. If we take it, Fire City will be razed to the ground in less than a monthâ¦â
After saying that, the mayor did not stay any longer. After a wave of spatial fluctuations, the three of them disappeared at the same time.
âWe were threatened, but weâre no longer in danger...â
At this moment, in the spatial passageway, Lin Mo heaved a long sigh of relief after making sure that no one was chasing them.
âThis is a heavy loss. We didnât gain anything and lost two heaven-grade magic toolsâ¦â
Qilin looked bitter. She was not aware of Lin Moâs gain and was blaming herself.
If she had not changed Lin Moâs fate, she would not have suffered a backlash, and the Silver Phoenix Fruit Tree would not have been exposed...
âTake this and stop complaining. Although it was a little dangerous, we made a huge profit this time.â
Lin Mo plucked another Silver Phoenix Fruit and fed it to Qilin so she could recover her previous consumption.
âBy the way, didnât you say you ran out of divine herbs and fruits? Whatâs this?â Qilin took the Silver Phoenix Fruit and asked curiously.
At this moment, she was very dissatisfied with Lin Mo. He had kept so many things from her.
âWhere did you get that treasure from? Also, whatâs with the Bai clan? â
Qilin took a hard bite of the Silver Phoenix Fruit, chewing the flesh and swallowing the juice. She looked a little fierce.
âIâll give you another Silver Phoenix Fruit. Can you keep a secret?â Lin Mo laughed bitterly.
He did not know how to explain the auction rebate system.
Even if he told Qilin, she would not believe him. Instead, the little girl would think that he was lying to her with such a careless lieâ¦
