Facing Wang Junjie's enthusiastic invitation, just when everyone present thought Lin Mo would have no way to refuse, Lin Mo suddenly said to Wang Junjie, "For the sake of you helping me wipe out the five major guilds this time, I won't make trouble for you today."
"Within ten seconds, take your people and disappear from my sight. Otherwise, I don't mind letting you experience what it feels like to start from zero again."
As soon as Lin Mo finished speaking, Wang Junjie suddenly felt a chill run down his back, his whole body tensing up.
Maybe it was because back in Blazing Ember City, he had really been beaten into fear by Lin Mo, at this moment, several players from Chaotic World stepped forward to defend Wang Junjie, pointing at Lin Mo and cursing, "You've got some nerve! If Brother Jie didn't see a bit of ability in you, what makes you think you're worth anything to him?"
"Rulebound, you'd better not refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a penalty! Our Chaotic World Guild isn't what it used to be. Do you think you can still kill Brother Jie back to level 0 right in front of us?"
"If you've got the guts, try it!"
"Damn it!", The chatter from his subordinates sounded more and more off to Wang Junjie. His face changed drastically as he shouted, "If you idiots don't know how to talk, can you shut up? Can you shut up?"
"There are always fools trying to get me killed!"
As he spoke, Wang Junjie stared at Lin Mo and said coldly, "Rulebound, you really won't accept a toast and insist on the penalty, huh?"
Lin Mo lightly gripped the Poison Crossbow.
That single motion made Wang Junjie's body tremble.
"Fine! Good! You've got guts!"
"If you won't drink, then don't! I'll drink it myself!"
With that, Wang Junjie ordered the surrounding Chaotic World players, "Make way!"
At his command, the Chaotic World players immediately stepped aside.
Under everyone's gaze, Lin Mo walked up to Han Ruoxi and said to her, "What happened today, I'll count it as a personal favor owed to your Blood Dance."
"But if we meet on the battlefield another day, I'm still the vice guild leader of Divine Nation."
A trace of disappointment flickered in Han Ruoxi's eyes.
She wanted to say something, but in the end, she held it back.
As Lin Mo and Ning Xi left, on the field, the Chaotic World players were puzzled, "Brother Jie, back in Blazing Ember City, Rulebound messed us up so badly. Are we really just letting it go like this?"
"Yeah! Even though he's now the vice guild leader of Divine Nation, I heard their people haven't even arrived in Inferno City yet. He's alone right now, and he doesn't have any NPC army protecting him. This is the perfect chance for us to get revenge."
Wang Junjie glanced at Zhuge Jie, "What do you think?"
Zhuge Jie adjusted his glasses and said in a deep voice, "If we continue being enemies with Rulebound, then on the path of Divine Oracle, we'll put in twice the effort for half the result."
"If both sides coexist peacefully, it's twice the result for twice the effort, or half the effort for half the result."
"If Rulebound joins us, then it's half the effort for twice the result."
Knowing Wang Junjie wasn't exactly sharp and might not understand something this abstract.
Zhuge Jie added, "Simply put, even if we can't win him over, we must learn from the lesson of the level-three main city. We can't make an enemy out of him again."
Wang Junjie said, "Did you all hear that? Listen to the strategist! From now on in Inferno City, no one is to mess with Rulebound. Whoever dares provoke him again, I'll chop off his d."
At this moment, Wang Junjie's gaze shifted, and he suddenly spotted Han Ruoxi, who was trying to quietly slip away with her Blood Dance members.
His eyes immediately lit up.
"Ruoxi? My goddess! What are you doing here too?"
Caught in the act, Han Ruoxi smiled awkwardly, "Young Master Wang, what a coincidence…"
Wang Junjie seemed to notice something and asked suspiciously, "You were helping Rulebound just now too?"
"Didn't you say he was your enemy? Back in the level-three main city, you even gave me advice to cripple him."
Han Ruoxi's heart sank.
She thought, 'Could it be… I'm about to be exposed?'
At that moment, Wang Junjie suddenly looked enlightened and clapped his hands, "Oh! I get it!"
"You've figured it out too! You're planning to turn hostility into friendship and win him over, right?"
"Uh…", Han Ruoxi decided to go along with it, "Yes! That's right! Young Master Wang, we think alike."
Wang Junjie said excitedly, "Then we really are on the same wavelength."
"Don't worry, Ruoxi! I'll definitely make Rulebound join my Chaotic World Guild. When I conquer the Divine Oracle world, I'll give you half of it."
Hearing this, Han Ruoxi suddenly had an idea, "Young Master Wang, do you really have a way to make Rulebound join Chaotic World?"
Originally, Han Ruoxi had been very confident she could recruit Lin Mo into Blood Dance.
Until just now, when she saw that even with an offer of a fifty million salary, Lin Mo didn't budge.
And even though she helped him fight against the five major guilds, it only moved him, not enough to shake his resolve.
In that moment, she lost all her confidence and hope.
But Wang Junjie had immense resources. Having money meant having more possible methods.
'As long as Rulebound leaves Divine Nation, even if he joins Chaotic World instead of Blood Dance, it will still cut off Divine Nation's development.'
'Why don't I take this opportunity to form an alliance with Chaotic World? Then I can also use their strength to fight against Divine Nation. That way, my chances of bringing down Mingyue Xin will be even greater.'
While Han Ruoxi was thinking this, Wang Junjie gave her a sly smile and said, "If I can win Rulebound over to my Chaotic World Guild, what then?"
Han Ruoxi lightly bit her lip.
In her beautiful eyes flickered a strong desire to avenge her father and restore the Han family.
"If Rulebound joins Chaotic World, I'll agree to be your girlfriend and date you."
Hearing this, Wang Junjie jumped ten meters into the air in excitement, "Deal."
"Don't worry, Ruoxi! For you, I'll definitely make Rulebound join my Chaotic World Guild."
"By the way, Ruoxi, are you free tonight? Let me treat you to dinner offline first? Hehe!"
"Young Master Wang, not for now. We're not boyfriend and girlfriend yet."
"That's fine too! Hehe!"
"Young Master Wang! Please behave yourself!"
"Hehehe!"
"Young Master Wang! No need to see me off, I can leave on my own!"
"Hehehe!"
Han Ruoxi led the Blood Dance players away as if fleeing.
Wang Junjie's mind was filled with thoughts of her.
Originally, he had thought that as long as he didn't make an enemy of Lin Mo, it was enough. Even if Lin Mo refused to join Chaotic World, so be it.
But now, because of Han Ruoxi, Wang Junjie developed an obsession, "I must poach Rulebound over."
He asked Zhuge Jie, "Strategist, do you have any way to recruit Rulebound for me?"
Zhuge Jie pondered, "Rulebound has now joined Divine Nation. We must start from Divine Nation."
"Good!", Wang Junjie didn't hesitate, "Then I'll just destroy Divine Nation."
———
On the other side—
For Lin Mo, Wang Junjie was not like Mingyue Xin, an enemy that had to be eliminated or would pose a huge threat in the future.
After all, according to the history of his previous life, once Divine Oracle descended, Chaotic World would collapse on its own.
Moreover, Lin Mo had always dealt with Wang Junjie to siphon resources from him, using him to accumulate funds and build capital for establishing his own guild.
But Wang Junjie was immensely wealthy.
Relying on Lin Mo to drain him bit by bit was far too slow.
By the time Divine Oracle arrived three months later, Lin Mo probably wouldn't even have siphoned off one-tenth of his assets, and would have wasted a great deal of time and energy in the process.
Now that Wang Junjie intended to form an alliance, Lin Mo came up with a better plan.
'As an ally, wouldn't it be much easier to get investment from Wang Junjie?'
Of course, this couldn't be done openly.
Through Ning Fei's network tracking, Lin Mo had already learned: Zhao Ling'er, Yu Jin, and Black Night had all arrived within Inferno City.
Whether it was them or Blood Dance or Chaotic World, all the opportunities were now laid out before Lin Mo.
Which made him even more eager to obtain the Incubated Clone Scroll and use the clone to firmly seize these opportunities.
Soon, Lin Mo and Ning Xi arrived at the Hall of Yama.
"As long as we clear the third hall, we can get the scroll, Incubated Clone."
"Let's try to secure it tonight."
With that, Lin Mo and Ning Xi stepped into the Hall of Yama.
[Ding~ You have entered Hall of Yama, Second Hall: Hall of King Chu Jiang!]
