"How is it?" Lin Mo looked at Emperor Zhou Wen in front of him with burning eyes.
He didn't lie.
The current situation is actually a kind of stalemate and balance.
He was not sure that he could break the immortal sword urged by True Monarch Black Mountain and others, nor could he guarantee that the latter would not take action against those around him.
And the other party couldn't keep him and kill him without leaving any room, and ensure that the six of them would always sign up for a group together and not be left alone.
Or be able to unite instantly.
Therefore, after the Shuzhou incident, both parties subconsciously did not want to break this fragile balance.
Of course, if Lin Mo could solve the problem of worries about his family and sect, Lin Mo would still be willing to take the initiative.
Especially after he was able to truly break his own limits and achieve a breakthrough.
And once a person is actually attacked secretly, the situation is likely to open up.
It’s much easier to do in the back.
"First... kill one person?" Emperor Zhou Wen looked at a loss.
He had to admit that he was a little startled and that he didn't understand the other person's brain circuit.
Why did things go from strengthening strength, showing strength, and then gaining more say in the alliance, to crushing allies, and directly dominating the company?
"Yes, if you kill too many, the other party may not feel safe and choose to die together.
The other party's methods are very terrifying, and there is a stronger force behind it. Even if I make a big breakthrough, there is no guarantee that I can completely deal with their back-up.
Keep you safe. Lin Mo said seriously.
"But killing one person is different. We can pretend to be strangers. I will take action first and finish the job. The two sides will fight fiercely and try to control the situation to be balanced.
Then you will show up and set up a game. The two parties will shake hands and talk, giving them a step to stop. "
He talked eloquently and perfected his ideas step by step.
"What's next, when my strength breaks through again, the rest won't be able to jump for long."
"How sure are you about this?" Emperor Zhou Wen was confused at first, but he had to admit that he was a little excited.
"I don't know. First I need to understand the other party's whereabouts and habits, and then I need to go into seclusion for a while." Lin Mo said seriously.
"Whereabouts, too, there are too many bosses on the other side." Zhou Xuanwen nodded knowingly.
"The worst-case scenario is that they act together and don't give any chance. In this case, we can only think about it in the long term and cooperate with them temporarily.
It just so happens that the Thousand Machine Realm he talks about is very conclusive, so we might as well wait and see for the follow-up development. Lin Mo was thoughtful.
"If it is true, wait until the teleportation array is completed, then find an opportunity to get rid of them and escape through it."
"What if it's fake?" Zhou Xuanwen asked subconsciously, following Lin Mo's words.
"If it's false, after we get rid of them, we don't have to leave. Compared with everything unfamiliar on the other side of the teleportation array, I think Chi County is actually pretty good." Lin Mo said matter-of-factly.
"..." Emperor Wen of Zhou was silent, not knowing how to evaluate it for a moment.
In fact, he has also thought about it, no matter what the other party says is true or false, he should fight or fight, anyway, he is only a superficial ally.
But some words... can only be understood, after all, it doesn't sound good to say them.
But what he didn't expect was that Lin Mo actually put everything out there, and the key point was very natural...
"This... is not bad. Compared with killing one person first, the second one is actually safer. After all, you have already done it in Shuzhou to scare the monkeys.
If I kill another person, I'm afraid the situation will get out of control, although it's unlikely. "He said softly after thinking for a few breaths.
"Yes, the immortals of Qianyu Realm are powerful, but they also have drawbacks, which can make them mentally abnormal, like lunatics." Lin Mo nodded clearly.
He was also inclined to do so in his heart.
The reason why he said that just now was because he thought that the latter must ask him to produce some results.
"If that's the case, then I'm going to set up a game here, give them a step down, both sides sit down, and have a temporary truce?" Emperor Wen of Zhou asked.
"Okay, just take this opportunity to force them to reveal some deeper information, such as what is behind the teleportation array, their origins, etc.
By the way, when you came forward and proposed to meet, I pretended to be angry and refused at first. You gave me conditions, but I still refused.
Forcibly pulling a few waves can also be considered to enhance credibility. " Lin Mo nodded and added later.
"I understand this. Things that are easily available are often not cherished by people. Good things take a long time." Emperor Wen of Zhou nodded.
The two quickly started talking one by one about the general content.
It can be said that the two of them became more and more enthusiastic as they talked, and soon they started talking about other aspects from the original matter of setting up an alliance.
Time flies.
In front of the main hall, on the animal-shaped incense burner, the thick incense sticks have burned out.
The sun, which originally hung high in the sky like a fireball, was also hidden behind the clouds.
Lin Mo looked at Emperor Zhou Wen in front of him, his face moved slightly, and his face showed admiration:
"I really benefited a lot from communicating with Brother Zhou."
he sighed.
The latter allowed him to truly see what the emperor's mind is.
You are obviously doing evil things, you are obviously hurting others, but you can still make the other person feel grateful to you.
For his subordinates, he doesn't give any substantial benefits. Just drawing pictures can make people give up.
It's simply... too insidious and hypocritical.
Even if he were to confront each other with strategy, he probably wouldn't be able to outsmart the opponent.
"The same is true for me. Before talking to Brother Lin, I never thought that life could be so carefree and unrestrained." The same look could not be suppressed in Emperor Zhou Wen's eyes.
He has been in office for so many years and has so many people under his command, so he has a deep understanding of people.
There are cruel people, there are cunning people, there are outright villains, and there are people who are hypocritical on the surface.
But it is rare for someone like Lin Mo to be able to speak openly of being despicable and duplicitous, while also saying it is very great.
But let's not talk about it. If an enemy does this, it can be said to be shameless and contemptuous.
But if it were me... don't tell me, it sounds really cool.
The two continued to refine and finalize every detail of resource supply and intelligence sharing.
Finally, he took Zhou Yuan and left quietly.
From what he said, it seemed that he was going to the Juexian Alliance to find Tian Chian.
Lin Mo took out the yellow silk from before and looked through it. It was a small gift from Emperor Wen of Zhou, and contained information about an old friend of his.
He had previously sent a large number of manpower to search and inquire, but found nothing.
However, the latter easily collected and organized the information.
I have to admit that even though Dazhou is getting worse now, it is still the largest violent organization in Chi County.
Ordinary forces are difficult to compare with.
And Emperor Wen of Zhou, who was able to secure his position as leader, was far from being as incompetent as rumored.
Not only is his individual resourcefulness and decision-making good, but his martial arts strength is also strong.
In his perception, there was actually a great sage level.
Among the tens of thousands of warriors in Chi County, this is already considered the top level.
But it's normal to think about it. If a person is really simple, stupid, mediocre and incompetent, it is impossible for him to ascend to that position, let alone sit on it for such a long time.
Watching the two figures disappear from sight
Lin Mo looked at the light blue light screen of his talent bead.
The luck point has returned to 11 points from the previous breakthrough of the earth solution level.
Part of it was obtained by his own slow growth, and part of it was collected from within the sect and other places.
In fact, the accumulation speed has been very fast.
It's a pity that he is no better now than he was when he first broke through to the Great Sage. These luck points are not even enough to break through to the level of earth solution.
But fortunately, in addition to his own power collection, he also has the support of other people.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo took out the Dragon Gate Seeds and Cave Heaven Keys that had been given to him by Song Shiji and left by Emperor Zhou Wen from the empty stone ring. He looked at the quantity carefully and quickly swallowed them one by one.
Now, he doesn't even need to chew, he just swallows it.
It didn't take long before he swallowed more than fifty Dragon Gate Seeds and Cave Heaven Keys into his belly.
Yes, Emperor Wen of Zhou was indeed a generous person. The first payment was more than what Song Shiji and others had raised so hard.
At this time, the luck points increased to 78, which proved that there were many cave keys, not just sand world, and the quality was not low.
It’s almost enough to break through a few times.
Lin Mo's thoughts swirled in his mind.
It takes about ten luck points to achieve a breakthrough on the ground.
More importantly, accumulation is needed.
However, thanks to Tian Qingshan, the trip to Shuzhou, and the financial support from Haigun and Taoist Changsheng, he was not lacking.
"Qingliang, is this how you use the Cave Sky Key on weekdays?"
Just as Lin Mo was thinking about it, Li Shenxiu on the side suddenly made a sound, frowning in disbelief.
You must know that normally, if a great sage wants to enter the cave to practice, he almost has to find a secluded place, which can take anywhere from several months to several years. It cannot be achieved overnight.
And the most difficult part is that after entering the cave, you need to face the mystery of the womb. Whether you can gain anything depends on opportunities.
And the other party... ate it raw?
"Yes, it's been like this since I was a child. I tried to change it, but I couldn't change it. Fortunately, it's not a bad thing." Lin Mo explained simply.
"I've been like this since I was a child... It's not a bad thing..." Li Shenxiu was distracted for a moment and didn't know what to say.
This is naturally not a bad thing. There is no need to go into the cave to search. It is like taking medicine to achieve a breakthrough. How could it be a bad thing!
So no wonder the opponent's realm breakthrough is getting faster and faster. Is this part of the reason?
Li Shenxiu did not continue to ask in detail and changed the topic:
"What you and Zhou... are discussing is not a trivial matter and requires caution. In addition, it is not so simple.
Today's friendship is only because of your strength, so when you interact with them, you can talk about interests, but don't talk about feelings. You have to use your own judgment. "
"In addition, if people like us do appear and it becomes your weakness, I hope you can always keep your calm." He hinted as if he was foreshadowing in advance.
Lin Mo responded in silence.
He naturally understood what the other party meant.
Not only him, but also people like True Lord Montenegro knew it.
Lingtai Sect is his bond, which can be regarded as his weakness.
This was also the reason why they didn't come to find him even after they knew that Lin Mo might not be dead.
Both sides have things they care about and cherish.
"Don't worry, this day won't happen." Lin Mo shook his head and said softly after being silent.

*
In the fifty-third year of the Great Zhou Dynasty, in May.
On the Jiudu battlefield in Taizhou, on the Chixian side, battlefield commander Chen Tianxi and warlord Huang Ming came forward to form an alliance with Baize and Dahuaihuai on the Qianyujie side in front of the Taihuai River.
A formal truce was negotiated.
Among them, Da Huai professed his vassal status to Da Zhou and was renamed Marquis of Huai.
People from Qianyu Realm can apply for a special pass to cross the Jiudu Front, leave Taizhou and enter Yizhou.
This alliance was also named the Taihuai Alliance. The whole world was in an uproar.
However, just when everyone thought that the newly emerged Immortal Jue Alliance would take advantage of the chaos to cause trouble, the latter was silent and did not make a sound.
On the contrary, a strange and ruthless martial artist appeared inexplicably in Taizhou.
Like a madman, as long as he is a person from the Thousand Feathers Realm, he will kill anyone he sees, regardless of good or evil, regardless of his origins and inheritance.
He especially loves to kill powerful masters.
There are even some high-ranking cultivators who have fallen among them.
This directly made the Qianyujie side furious. While sending a large number of people, they questioned the Chixian side and sought an explanation.
But just when the world was expecting the latter's response, the result was a huge disappointment.
Chen Tianxi, the commander-in-chief of the Jiudu battlefield in Chixian County and the former governor of Yiyi Prefecture, personally came forward to lead his people to encircle and suppress the so-called madman with Qianyujie.
As soon as this move came out, the originally strange situation in the Great Zhou Dynasty became even more depressing.
On the earth, dark clouds gathered.
At this time, Taizhou, Jiudu, and Yunxi Mountains.
A large number of Zhou Shengjun and monks from the Thousand Feather Realm set up military formations to directly block all entrances and exits of the mountain range.
After investigation and various strange methods, the latter has determined that the madman is in the Yunxi Mountains.
In order to establish their authority, Qianyu Realm not only has a large number of Tongyou and Dongming masters, but also three Taoist ancestors.
Two of them blocked the raiding formation outside the mountain range, while the other entered the mountain with the commander-in-chief of Chi County.
However, the situation in the mountains at this time is different from what outsiders imagined.
puff! !
The dense woods felt as if they were being hit by a giant truck traveling at high speed. Countless tree trunks were broken and a large amount of dust rose into the sky.
It was a giant wolf beast that was tens of meters long, with three black, red and white wolf heads, and fish fins on its back.
The whole body is filled with a large amount of mana that has been condensed into substance, and chain-like symbolic patterns are constantly flashing on the wolf's head.
Just the breath subdued the entire mountain forest, and even the insects were silent.
There is no doubt that this is the true form of the ancestral monks of Qianyu Realm.
Moreover, its energy has even reached a terrifying level.
But at this moment, it was lying on the ground, its abdomen was constantly squirming, and the three wolf heads looked frightened and unbelievable, as if they were suffering from some unexpected pain.
"Are you still running away? Or do you think you can survive one more blow from me?"
In the distance, an indifferent voice that seemed to have no emotion suddenly came from the distance.
The sound got louder and louder, as if the distance was getting closer.
When the three giant wolves heard the sound, they immediately trembled and struggled to get up, blood-red light gushing from their backs.
Blood-colored vine-like symbolic lines appeared directly between the eyebrows of the three wolf heads.
A wave of energy unexpectedly appeared on him.
The latter's aura surged.
But he still stared straight ahead.
Uh-huh! !
The next moment, the space above the white wolf's head was distorted, and a black figure appeared directly above its head.
