High Martial Arts: First day of dropping out of school, reward: Devouring the Emperor's Body

According to the internal intelligence their Black Earth tribe obtained from Great Xia, Li Mo would have to wait at least ten more days to reach the Mississippi Mountains.

Therefore, Morpheus sent Haomo and the Black Tiger Gang to garrison this place, with the aim of tampering with the Star Crystal Mine before Li Mo arrived.

This star crystal ore definitely has to be handed over, but Morpheus will certainly not hand it over obediently.

So when Haomo saw Li Mo for the first time, he broke out in a cold sweat. The construction inside the Star Crystal Mine was not yet completed, and if Li Mo went in to inspect it, he would probably easily find out something fishy.

Thinking of this, Haomo swallowed hard.

His attitude towards Li Mo was noticeably softer compared to that towards Zhao Xin.

"Li Mo, our agreement stipulates that the handover will take place before the specified date. Until that date arrives, we retain autonomy over the facilities in the Mississippi Mountains!"

"Besides, the facilities in the Star Crystal Mine are different from those in other mines; they use high-precision instruments and equipment. You can't deny us even this little bit of time, can you?"

When facing Zhao Xin before, Hao Mo's face was full of arrogance.

In short, the goal was to prevent Zhao Xin from making the handover.

Now, when facing Li Mo, he has started to reason with him.

But seeing him like this, Li Mo became even more certain that they had definitely tampered with the Star Crystal Mine.

So Li Mo first asked Zheng Jiahao in a low voice, "Is what he said true?"

As a staff officer of the Independent Regiment, Zheng Jiahao must have reviewed the handover contracts and documents between the two countries beforehand.

He nodded and said, "What he said is all correct. There are still three days before the handover date expires, and they still have the right to dispose of the Star Crystal Mine independently during these three days."

After thinking for a moment, Zheng Jiahao continued, "But if you insist on a forceful handover, that's fine too! It'll just cause some minor conflicts with them, but these small conflicts won't affect the diplomacy between the two countries. Go ahead and do it! Anyway, both the government and Commander Zhao support you now!"

Zheng Jiahao's meaning was simple: Hao Mo's words did make sense, but Li Mo could also choose to force his way in, since Zhao Shuai would handle the aftermath for Li Mo.

The atmosphere between the two sides instantly became tense and hostile.

Li Mo was still hesitating when Hao Mo immediately gave him a signal to summon all the troops.

If Li Mo decides to start a war, Hao Mo will have no choice but to fight to the death.

Seeing that Li Mo hadn't brought any soldiers from the Independent Regiment, Hao Mo breathed a sigh of relief. The few thousand men of the Langliu Regiment were far from being a match for his Black Tiger Regiment.

If a conflict really breaks out, the Black Soil Tribe will never suffer a loss!

Before long, the two groups of people from the Great Xia and the Black Earth Tribes were already in position in front of the Star Crystal Mine, waiting for Li Mo's order to engage in a fierce hand-to-hand combat.

"Commander, have you made up your mind? Shall we go for it?"

At this moment, Xu Feng urged Li Mo, as he was already quite impatient.

But after thinking for a while, Li Mo finally decided to stop.

First of all, the brothers of the Langliu Gang were not his subordinates, and he would feel bad if it caused serious casualties, since it was his orders that led to it.

Secondly, regarding the Black Soil Tribe, although Zhao Zhenyuan can clean up his mess, don't be fooled by the fact that the government outwardly supports him; secretly, countless people are looking for ways to find fault with him.

The government officials love to make a mountain out of a molehill, and nobody knows if this incident will become a handle for the government to attack Li Mo in the future.

When you're in a higher position, you have more options to consider.

Li Mo, now holding the rank of Major General, is no longer the same battalion commander who was once driven by reckless courage and focused solely on killing the enemy.

So he said to Haomo, "Alright! You're right, we'll have the formal handover in three days!"

Upon hearing Li Mo's words, Hao Mo immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, he wasn't sure if his Black Tiger Gang was a match for Li Mo.

On the surface, Li Momin only possesses the strength of the Two Elements Realm, but in reality, he can kill those at the Three Harmony Realm with extreme ease, and even has a record of killing those at the Heaven and Earth Realm across two realms.

If that's the case, his 10,000 men might not be a match for Li Mo alone.

Haomo waved his hand, preparing to call it a day.

However, at that moment, Li Mo spoke up again.

"The handover will take place in three days, but is it alright for me to bring a few people in for a tour now? After all, I need to confirm whether your country is truly committed to the handover."

These words immediately froze Haomo in place.

What he feared most was that Li Mo would suggest going inside for a tour, since the project they were currently carrying out inside the Star Crystal Mine was tampering with it.

If Li Mo goes in now and discovers something amiss, not only will all their efforts be in vain, but the Black Soil Tribe will also lose face.

Seeing that Li Mo had just backed down, Hao Mo suddenly became tough for some reason.

"No! The high-precision instruments inside the Star Crystal Mine are top secret in our Black Earth Tribe. They haven't been withdrawn yet, and we absolutely cannot allow anyone else to see them!"

Haomo had barely finished speaking when he suddenly felt a deadly killing intent coming from in front of him.

Before he could even react, a sharp pain shot through his shoulder.

By the time he realized what was happening, he was already pinned to the wall by Li Mo's Emperor Shock Spear, and the excruciating pain made Hao Mo cry out loudly.

But besides the pain, Haomo felt mostly fear.

It should be noted that he himself was a master of the Three Harmony Realm, but he was powerless to resist Li Mo.

Even his own soul was suppressed by Li Mo, and he couldn't even pull out the Emperor Shock Spear stuck in his shoulder.

Li Mo's sudden move startled everyone.

Haomo's men were the first to react, ordering everyone to draw their weapons.

"Li...Li Mo! What are you doing? The battle of the Seven Yuan Mountains has just ended, are you trying to start another war?"

The subordinate's speech was somewhat indistinct; he was actually terrified of clashing with Li Mo, but the current situation forced him to take action.

However, at that moment, several officers of the Independent Regiment, including Zhao Xin, suddenly took action.

These people were the elite of the elite, and they instantly killed several high-ranking officers of the Black Tiger Gang.

Zhao Xin, in particular, vented his pent-up humiliation, even managing to pierce through the Black Tiger Gang's deputy commander with a single spear thrust after a few rounds.

Li Mo didn't kill Hao Mo because killing him might trigger a diplomatic crisis.

However, the Black Tiger Gang's officers were not so lucky.

"Let's see who dares to move! Didn't you hear what our commander said? We want to tour the site, not hand over the ore immediately!"

"Listen up, brothers of the Wandering Gang! If anyone lays a hand on us again, we'll take action immediately! We've all fought our way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood; none of us are cowards! Anyone who's afraid of dying, get out of the Wandering Gang right now!"

"Haomo, you're really asking for it! Our commander gave you a point out of respect for your commander Morpheus, and you're already getting cocky! Do you think we're afraid of you if we really want to fight?"

The officers of the Independent Regiment and Zhao Xin quickly took control of the situation. They acted with lightning speed, frightening the Black Tiger Regiment so much that they almost dared not move.
