Chapter 66 He Dares to Attend the Banquet Alone!
The black-robed man was extremely clear about Lin Mo. He was most likely a member of the Lin clan. It seemed that just as Lin Mo had guessed, the Miao and Lin clans were indeed in deep collusion.
Miao Jian guessed, “Could it be that he had some sort of fortuitous encounter outside, which caused his cultivation to increase rapidly, and as a result, able to obtain so many supreme treasures?” “We can’t rule out that possibility. You have to know that he used to be a good-for-nothing. Now that he’s so powerful, it seems like he has obtained quite a number of treasures. If all of these can be obtained by us…”
The black-robed man laughed sinisterly, his tone filled with greed.
Miao Jian also revealed a sinister smile. “Since he has so many high-grade heavenly treasures, martial arts, and weapons, he’ll definitely hide them in the auction house. When the time comes for him to leave, it will be the best time for us to make our move!”
As expected, they were up to no good! Their real target was the auction house. This was something that Lin Mo had never expected.
Luring the tiger away from the mountain by inviting Lin Mo to the Miao clan, they could take this opportunity to rob them. What vicious thoughts.
Miao Yan was a little puzzled as he asked, “If that’s the case, why didn’t both sides do it at the same time? Since Lin Mo has the guts to come here, we might as well just let him die.”
However, the black-robed man said, “That’s not appropriate. Previously, we had also sent out assassins, but in the end, they all died without success. I think that they all fell into Lin Mo’s hands. Until now, we still don’t know what his true cultivation is. It’s better not to act rashly.”
What he said made sense. If both sides were to proceed at the same time, they would both have to ransack the auction house and kill Lin Mo. Such a risk would be too great for them. For the sake of safety, it would be better to make a move on the auction house first.
“I think that if Lin Mo returns and sees that the auction house has been ransacked, he would sure be devastated. After all, the treasures and auction hall are his hard work.”
The expression on Miao Yan’s face was a little strange. The coldness in his expression was like a venomous snake hissing its tongue, causing people to shudder in fear.
He asked excitedly, “Father, are we going to make a move as soon as Lin Mo arrives?”
Miao Jian’s gaze was vicious. He shook his head and said, “You guys should head to the entrance of the auction house in advance and wait for him. Doesn’t Yan’er want revenge? It’s time for you to show off your skills.”
Miao Yan revealed a bloodthirsty smile. “I can’t wait. It’s good enough for Lin Mo to be so relaxed for so many days.” At this moment, Lin Mo was completely unaware of the impending danger of the auction house.
When he arrived at the entrance of the Miao clan, Miao Jian personally brought people over to welcome him. His face was filled with enthusiasm as if he had changed into a completely different person from his previous cold and ruthless self.
“Mr. Lin is indeed a kind person. You came as promised.”
“What are you talking about? The head of the Miao clan invited me. Why would I miss the appointment?”
The two of them exchanged pleasantries. Those who did not know better would have thought that they had a very good relationship. In reality, they had already reached the point where they could not tolerate each other. They were only a step away from breaking through that layer of patience.
It was just that they had all become sly foxes, and no one could see the strange expressions on their faces.
Seeing that Lin Mo had come alone, Miao Jian’s eyes flashed slightly, and he seemed to have thought of something. “Let’s not stand at the door and talk anymore. Please come in.” As he spoke, he made a gesture to invite him in.
“Mr. Lin, please take your seat.”
Miao Jian and his group welcomed Lin Mo in. Other than Miao Jian, there were also a few elders of the Miao clan present. It was strange to say that Miao Yan was not here.
The seemingly harmonious atmosphere was actually surging with undercurrents. Lin Mo carefully observed the surrounding environment. There were no formations or traps, and he did not know what kind of show Miao Jian was going to perform next. In any case, he would take whatever came his way. Based on his strength, he was not afraid of the Miao clan at all.
Miao Jian smiled faintly. “Someone bring some good tea for Mr. Lin.”
On the other side, in the auction house.
It had been a while since Lin Mo had left, but Wu Jin was worried and kept pacing back and forth. He did not know why, but he kept feeling uneasy as if something big was going to happen soon.
“I don’t know if there will be any danger. What if the Miao clan does something bad to Master?”
Miao Qing had seen Lin Mo make a move before. He was able to kill several powerful law enforcement elders of the Miao clan in a single move. How could such a person fall into a trap so easily?
“Don’t worry. Master is very powerful. Even if he can’t win, he can retreat unscathed. We don’t have to worry.”
Even though he said that, the uneasiness in his heart did not decrease by much.
“The Miao clan is full of schemes and tricks. Who knows if they’ll come up with some despicable means to ambush us?”
Realizing that he still had the Miao clan by his side, Wu Jin quickly changed his thoughts. “That’s not what I meant. Although you’re a member of the Miao clan, you’re different from them.”
In the beginning, Wu Jin was also wary of Miao Qing. After all, he was from the Miao clan. However, when he knew more about him, Wu Jin sympathized with him. He also knew that Miao Qing and Miao Jian were not birds of the same feather.
“You don’t have to explain. I understand what you mean. I’ve long drawn a line between myself and those people. I’m also very disgraced by their actions. It’s fine if I don’t want such a clan! It’s humiliating for my ancestors.”
As the two of them were conversing, a cold male voice sounded.
“You’re still boasting shamelessly even at the end of your life.”
Dozens of black-clothed men descended from the sky. The leader of the group circulated powerful spiritual energy in his palm and struck Wu Jin’s body.
The surrounding air currents surged wildly. A huge palm descended from the sky with a destructive force. The floor tiles flew one after another and were overturned by this powerful force. Even the ground was cracked open with countless cracks of varying depths.
Not to mention Wu Jin, who was halfway through his life. His entire body flew a hundred meters away, and he suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood. It was clear that his internal organs were all heavily injured.
