Chapter 228 First Encounter with Old Demon Han
Zhuo Ruting had already prepared herself for Lin Mo to refuse, but she didn't expect Lin Mo to agree in the end.

Zhuo Ruting let out a soft breath and said, "Senior, if there are no problems, I will take you to the island where we gather."

Lin Mo nodded.

If Lin Mo remembers correctly, Old Devil Han will also be dragged into this matter.

A few minutes later, Lin Mo followed Zhuo Ruting and landed on a deserted mountain on an unnamed island.

On the mountaintop, which was dozens of feet high, besides Lin Mo and Zhuo Ruting, there were a dozen or so people of varying heights, some sitting cross-legged practicing qi, others standing and whispering.

Lin Mo glanced at them and saw that seven of them were Core Formation cultivators, while the rest were late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Take the Miaoyin Sect for example; they've practically gone all out to gather these people.

That makes sense, considering that the other party killed their sect leader. If they don't avenge this, how will they survive in the Chaotic Star Sea in the future?

"I will never forget your kindness in helping me this time. Let me introduce you to a few people."

As Zhuo Ruting spoke, she introduced Lin Mo to a Core Formation cultivator and four late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.

However, Lin Mo's attention was not on this at all.

Zhuo Ruting followed Lin Mo's gaze and said, "Those people were all brought by Fan Jingmei."

Lin Mo sensed the coldness in Zhuo Ruting's tone and knew that she and the other party did not get along.

After the death of the previous sect leader of Miaoyin Sect, the most promising candidates for the position of sect leader are Zhuo Ruting, the right envoy, and Fan Jingmei, the left envoy.

This is why the two of them are so actively recruiting staff.

Whoever avenges the sect leader will rightfully take that position.

Unlike Zhuo Ruting's cold and aloof demeanor.

Fan Jingmei had skin as white as snow and a head of jet-black, shiny hair, which was piled up high, dressed as a married woman.

She looks elegant and dignified, but for men, this only arouses a desire to conquer her.

Her eyes, especially, with their clear, bright, and spring-like quality, are particularly captivating and evoke a lot of fantasies.

However, Lin Mo didn't even glance at him; all his attention was focused on an ordinary-looking male cultivator in the corner.

The unremarkable-looking male cultivator was none other than Han Laomo, and the burly man wearing a bamboo hat standing next to him was the puppet Qu Hun.

The opportunities in the Void Heaven Palace are nothing compared to the Heavenly Bottle on Han Laomo's body. You must know that the Heavenly Bottle is the first Xuan Tian artifact born from the chaos of this plane.

If Han Laomo were just an ordinary chosen one of the planes, Lin Mo would probably have already taken action to snatch him, at most suffering some backlash from the plane.

However, after learning Han Laomo's true identity, Lin Mo hesitated repeatedly and ultimately did not make a move.

Since that's the case, it seems the only option is to find an opportunity to cooperate with Old Man Han.

The Heavenly Bottle can rapidly mature various rare and precious materials, and with it, one can greatly accelerate the time required to advance their cultivation level.

Especially considering that Lin Mo himself is a master alchemist.

Now both groups have arrived.

However, Zhuo Ruting and Fan Jingmei still did not intend to set off immediately. Instead, they kept looking up at the sky, as if they were waiting for someone.

This wait lasted for almost half a day.

If everyone present hadn't been cultivators, each with immense patience, some would probably have already started complaining.

Even so, some people still showed their dissatisfaction.

Seeing this, Zhuo Ruting and Fan Jingmei also showed some anxiety, and reluctantly huddled together, whispering a few words to each other.

"coming."

Lin Mo sensed that two people were rapidly approaching the nameless deserted island.

After a while.

Suddenly, the faint sound of wind and thunder could be heard, followed by a line of dark color appearing on the distant horizon.

The black cloud rapidly approached from afar, causing the meditating cultivators to rise and look on in astonishment. In the blink of an eye, it reached above them, and they finally saw clearly that it was a vast cloud, about fifty or sixty feet in diameter, its size almost completely covering the mountaintop. Rumbling sounds and sparks of lightning emanated from the cloud, making it all the more eerie!

As everyone stared in utter disbelief, a clear, cold female voice suddenly rang out from the dark clouds.

"Senior Chi, you may put me down now. My two senior sisters and I have a few words to say."

"Hehe, of course, no problem!" came the reply in an extremely unpleasant, clanging voice.

Upon hearing the two people's voices, Zhuo Ruting and Fan Jingmei's expressions changed slightly, and they exchanged a glance.

Other cultivators who knew the origin of the dark clouds turned pale, and one of them muttered something under his breath.

"The Myriad Sounds Sect is truly powerful; they even managed to invite Old Monster Chi from Yuan Turtle Island!"

The man's voice was very low, but everyone present was a master, and they all heard it very clearly, causing them all to feel a chill.

The Crimson Flame Monster of Yuangui Island.

This person became famous very early and has reached the late stage of Core Formation. His Kui Shui Demon Art is unpredictable and he is known in the Chaotic Star Sea for his ruthlessness and heartlessness.

Many people asserted that this Crimson Old Monster was one of the most likely cultivators to reach the Nascent Soul stage, and would sooner or later become a behemoth like the Extreme Yin Ancestor. Therefore, as the sole ruler of Yuan Yuan Turtle Island, no one dared to provoke him easily. He was quite a renowned figure.

Just as everyone was wondering why the notorious demonic cultivator, Crimson Fire Old Monster, would appear here.

The dark clouds churned, and a woman in purple palace attire flew out from within.

The woman was tall and slender with a graceful and light figure, but her face was shrouded in a faint purple aura, obscuring her true appearance.

When Zhuo Ruting and Fan Jingmei saw this woman appear, they immediately went to greet her.

"Junior Sister Wang, why is Old Monster Chi here? Did you invite him? But there's no need for that!" Zhuo Ruting asked in a low voice, her brows furrowed.

“Yes! This old monster is not someone to be trifled with. It’s easy to invite a god but hard to send him away! Besides, we have more than enough manpower right now!” Fan Jingmei said with a solemn expression, revealing a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Do you two senior sisters really think that the cultivators who robbed the goods last time were all of their forces?" The woman in purple ignored the two women's worried expressions and said calmly instead.

"Junior sister, what do you mean by that?! Are there other troublesome people on the other side?" Fan Jingmei was startled by these words and immediately understood the purple-clad woman's meaning, asking in surprise.

Zhuo Ruting also showed a surprised look.

"I received news that there is still a late-stage Core Formation leader in their lair. The helpers gathered by my two senior sisters are not strong enough, so I went to Yuan Gui Island and persuaded the Crimson Fire Old Monster to take action!" the woman in purple said casually.

The woman in purple was none other than Zi Ling, the most beautiful woman in the Chaotic Star Sea.

However, this girl is still too naive; she's being used without even realizing it.

Lin Mo saw everything but didn't rush to expose it.

After hearing what Zi Ling said, Zhuo Ruting and the other two women exchanged a glance with expressions of disbelief and then said nothing more.

Although they knew that their junior sister must have paid a heavy price to persuade a demonic cultivator like the Crimson Flame Elder to take action, now was not the time to discuss such matters. They could only wait until things were settled here before considering anything else.

At this moment, Zi Ling's beautiful eyes had already scanned the other cultivators on the mountaintop, and she nodded, seemingly extremely satisfied.

"The number of Core Formation cultivators invited by my two senior sisters is even greater than I expected. With the help of the Crimson Flame Old Monster, we must wipe out this group of evil cultivators on this trip to avenge my mother's death!" Zi Ling's voice was icy cold and filled with endless killing intent.

"Don't worry, the two of us will definitely avenge the sect leader!" Zhuo Ruting gently brushed her black hair and said slowly.

“That’s right. The sect leader has done us both a great favor. Even if we lose our lives, we will still destroy each other.” Fan Jingmei also echoed for the first time with a solemn expression.

Hearing this, Zi Ling was somewhat moved and bowed deeply to the two women.

"I am so grateful to my two senior sisters for their great help this time! Just as we agreed beforehand, as long as we can avenge my mother, one of you will be chosen as the leader of the Miaoyin Sect! I, Wang Ning, will never covet this position!" Zi Ling said resolutely.

After Zi Ling said these words, a complicated expression appeared on Zhuo Ruting's beautiful face. She opened her cherry lips as if to say something, but she didn't say anything.

Upon hearing this, Fan Jingmei maintained a calm demeanor, but her eyes revealed an undisguised excitement.

To be a pawn without realizing it—that is the tragedy of the weak.

Lin Mo glanced at it and then looked away.

For Lin Mo, who currently has no foundation in the Chaotic Star Sea, the Myriad Sounds Sect is a good choice, as it is a good match for him, who comes from the Hehuan Sect.
