After leaving Inferno City, on the way straight to the Hall of Yama, relying on the tempering and experience from two years in the world of Divine Oracle in his previous life, Lin Mo faintly sensed that ever since he left the city, it seemed like a pair of eyes had been fixed on him from behind the whole time.
He stopped in his tracks and said without turning his head, "Come out. No need to sneak around."
As soon as he finished speaking, sure enough, a group of players came rushing up from behind, panting heavily.
Their breathing rose and fell in waves, like they had just finished a marathon, exhausted to the point they could barely catch their breath.
"Who's sneaking around? We really tried our best, but we just couldn't catch up!"
"Bro, how much agility do you have? You walk faster than we can run!"
Lin Mo turned around and took a look, only to find that the group "following" him were actually from the [Blood Dance] guild.
Leading them was a sharpshooter girl dressed in tight teal chainmail.
A perfect figure, stunningly beautiful.
Her ID was Ruoxi.
Ruoxi stood there with her hands on her slim waist, catching her breath while looking at Lin Mo and pretending to be surprised, "Rulebound? It really is you! I thought I was seeing things."
"There are 129 secondary main cities in Divine Oracle, and we still managed to run into each other like this. Looks like we're pretty fated, huh."
Lin Mo saw through it but didn't expose it, "Quite a coincidence."
Ruoxi didn't waste words and got straight to the point with Lin Mo, "I know that witch Ming Yuexin must have used some kind of coercion or temptation to force you to stay in Divine Nation."
"Don't let that witch use you. You can't judge a person by their appearance. You have no idea what kind of vicious and ruthless woman Ming Yuexin really is."
How could Lin Mo not know? He knew all too well.
Even though in his previous life he had only interacted with Ming Yuexin once, that alone was enough for him to see through her nature.
But at this moment, Lin Mo didn't refute anything.
Han Ruoxi continued, "Come to our Blood Dance guild. Same as before, whatever treatment Divine Nation gives you, we can give you double."
"And also," as she spoke, Ruoxi glanced at Ning Xi beside Lin Mo, lightly biting her lip as she said apologetically, "Last time I was ignorant and reckless. Little sister Liuli, I apologize to you. I didn't know you were Rulebound's girlfriend."
Ning Xi said softly, "It's okay…"
Ruoxi's gaze shifted back to Lin Mo as she continued, "As long as you join Blood Dance, even if I'm not your girlfriend, my S-rank talent, Summoning, can still summon bosses for you and Liuli."
"With your strength, plus my summoning support, it'll be like adding wings to a tiger."
Invitations from other guilds were all meant to make use of Lin Mo to seize the guild establishment token reward in the King's Tournament.
Only Blood Dance's sincerity was obvious at a glance.
Just like back in the level-three main city, Blazing Ember City, even without something like a guild token, Han Ruoxi had sincerely tried to recruit Lin Mo.
Unfortunately, Lin Mo had his own plans that couldn't be disrupted for now.
Forming an alliance with Blood Dance was his clone's task.
His own task was to focus entirely on stabilizing Divine Nation.
And at this moment, there were inevitably informants from Divine Nation around.
Lin Mo resolutely said to Han Ruoxi, "You should know Blood Dance is an enemy of Divine Nation. I have things to do today, so I'll give you a chance."
"Disappear from my sight within ten seconds, otherwise I wouldn't mind wiping out your Blood Dance again."
As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of loud laughter suddenly rang out from the outer edge of the crowd.
"Hahaha!"
"Your Blood Dance guild is really low! You're actually using seduction to recruit people!"
Following the sound, another group of players with names starting with "Storm" stepped out from the surrounding crowd that had gathered to watch.
At the front was a man in black clothing, an assassin.
His figure was thin, his face sharp like it had been carved with a knife, and there was a deep, chilling scar on his face. His eyes were as cold and sharp as a butcher who had just taken a life.
Seeing the other party's ID, Ning Xi suddenly realized something, "Brother Lin Mo, this Tyrant… isn't he the one from the Storm Guild who kept messaging you before, and then we blocked him?"
"Yes," When Lin Mo saw Tyrant's appearance, it was like seeing someone from the past. The killing intent in his eyes was hard to hide.
While mocking Han Ruoxi, Tyrant extended an olive branch to Lin Mo, "Come to Storm, brother. All that romance nonsense will only become a stumbling block on the path to becoming strong. Join me and let's build the kind of career men are meant to build."
Before Lin Mo could speak.
Shing!
Tyrant suddenly drew his blade, a ferocious look on his face as he said coldly to Lin Mo, "Of course, you can refuse. Just be ready from now on, whenever you see me, Tyrant, in Inferno City, you'll kneel on the ground and crawl."
As soon as he said that, the surrounding onlooking players immediately broke into chatter.
Passerby A: "This Tyrant is playing both soft and hard! He actually dares to threaten Rulebound. That guy's ranked first on the Inferno City leaderboard."
Passerby B: "Well, who told Rulebound to be so arrogant? He's rejected every guild invitation. Acting so high and mighty, of course he's going to offend people."
Passerby C: "This Tyrant looks scary. He's not really going to kill Rulebound, is he?"
Passerby D: "He's killed people in real life. Let alone in a game? You guys don't know him, right? I do! His real name is Li Jun, from Luoyang in Zhongzhou. Fighting, arson, even murder, he's been in prison several times, but every time someone bailed him out."
Passerby E: "Damn! Even that kind of person can get bailed out? Looks like he's got serious backing. This time Rulebound has run into someone tough. He's in trouble."
The chatter of the crowd only boosted Tyrant's confidence further.
He toyed with the sharp dagger in his hand and asked Lin Mo with a sinister grin, "So, have you thought it over?"
Lin Mo took the Venomous Crossbow off his back and said, "You'd better show me you've got what it takes to make me crawl on the ground."
Tyrant immediately ground his teeth, "Damn it! Refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit."
"You really think just because you're number one on the leaderboard I wouldn't dare kill you?"
"Brothers, grab your weapons!"
At Tyrant's command, the players behind him from the Storm Guild all readied their weapons.
At the same time, Han Ruoxi suddenly gave an order to the Blood Dance guild players, "Everyone, prepare for battle! Protect Rulebound!"
As soon as she said that, the Blood Dance players were confused, "Second Miss, he just treated us like that, and we're still protecting him?"
"He's clearly completely loyal to Divine Nation. While the Eldest Miss is holding back Divine Nation's forces in the level-three main city so they can't get here, isn't now the perfect chance for us to cripple Rulebound?"
"Yeah! Since he won't join us, crippling him would still deal a huge blow to Divine Nation!"
Han Ruoxi's eyes were firm, 'Sister, you all are risking your lives in Snowstorm City to hold back Ming Yuexin. I won't let your sacrifice be for nothing.'
'I promised you. I will succeed! I will make Rulebound leave Divine Nation and join our Blood Dance.'
As she spoke, Han Ruoxi resolutely gave the order, "Protect Rulebound. That's an order!"
Shing!
The berserker, Blood Dance Berserker, swung his axe and shouted loudly, "Brothers, with me, kill!"
