Lin Mo gradually walked away, eventually disappearing from everyone's sight.
At this point, everyone snapped back to reality; those who were calling the police did so, and those who were making phone calls made their calls. In a short time, the news of the Bai Family's downfall had spread throughout Hei Province and even the entire Northeast.
It was Lin Mo's first time making a name for himself in the Northeast by slaying Bai Gu Cheng and stamping out the Bai Family.
Wang Ni and her parents stood together, looking uncertainly at Chen Junyang. The Killing God who had just appeared was Chen Junyang's classmate who had single-handedly destroyed the Bai Family, killing all the core members of the family. How could they possibly afford to offend him?
Mr. Wang immediately reacted, pulling his daughter and wife toward Chen Junyang with a fawning smile on his face, "Nephew, was that person just now your classmate?"
Chen Junyang nodded, feeling nauseated by the sight of these people's faces and said coldly, "So what if he was my classmate?"
"Just now, my daughter was in the wrong. Please, a person of your stature shouldn't hassle her over it. We can forget about the marriage, but the money we lent to the Chen Family doesn't need to be repaid. What am I to Mr. Chen? It's only a billion, just a small amount," Mr. Wang said, bowing and scraping like a eunuch beside the emperor.
The marriage between Chen Junyang and Wang Ni had been a hot topic in social circles. Wang Ni had slept with a wealthy heir and got pregnant, then sought to marry Chen Junyang, bringing great humiliation to the Chen Family.
Now, seeing the frightened apologies from Mr. Wang and Wang Ni, Chen Junyang and his parents felt extremely gratified.
Everyone knew that all of this was because of a college classmate of Chen Junyang.
"Where is Brother Mo going?" Chen Guhui holding a delicate flower in her hand, looked up at Chen Junyang with big, bright eyes.
"I don't know, maybe he and we are simply not from the same world," Chen Junyang's face showed a hint of bitterness as he murmured to himself, "Lin Mo, take care."
The explosive news that the Bai Family was annihilated by Lin Mo shocked everyone.
"Did everyone hear? Bai Gu Cheng is dead!"
"I went to Bai Gu Cheng's a super Martial Arts Master. He's been famous for decades, even visited our Sect, and even our Sect Leader had to treat him with respect."
"How did he die? Was he killed by the Huaxia Security Bureau, or was it another enemy?"
"Are you stupid? The Northeast has been Bai Gu Cheng's stronghold for ages. Besides, Bai Gu Cheng was from the Joy Sect, who would dare to kill him?"
"I'm afraid the Joy Sect is going to be furious now." These secretly discussing individuals could be ordinary company bosses, apothecaries in drug stores, or even internet café managers in the mundane world, but secretly they all had different identities—Martial Arts Masters, Magic Users, Superpower Users—with strength dozens of times greater than ordinary people.
"The Joy Sect is probably not going to rest until he's dead, especially since they've lost a Martial God Level Master."
The Northeast, a peaceful underworld that hadn't seen such thrilling events in decades, now suddenly had a young demon emerge; how could they not be shocked?
"I heard that Lin Mo might also have been injured by the Thunder Array set up by Bai Gu Cheng when he killed him, he probably won't be leaving the Northeast anytime soon."
"I've heard about Bai Gu Cheng's Thunder Array too. Even strong people who practice horizontally would be turned to dust in it. There's no way Lin Mo could come out of it uninjured."
"I believe in this Lin Mo; he definitely won't lose," said someone using the username Yue Luohua.
"Yes, he could kill an elder from the Joy Sect and overpower the Bai Family, likely a disciple from some reclusive Sect out wandering the mundane world."
Throughout the Underworld, discussions arose, forming two distinct camps: one supported Lin Mo, while the other resented his prominence and mocked him.
In the Su Family residence in Ha City, Su Xiaoxiao looked at Master Mo beside her and said, "Master Mo, do you think Lin Mo can defeat the people from the Bai Family when he goes there?"
A solemn expression appeared on Master Mo's face as he replied, "Bai Gu Cheng, who has been a renowned Martial God Level master for decades, is stationed at the Bai Family mansion. Moreover, I've heard that Bai Gu Cheng has set up the Heavenly Shocking Killing Formation within their mansion, which is said to be capable of slaying gods. I fear that Mr. Lin's trip there holds more peril than fortune."
"Is Lin Mo not a match for Bai Gu Cheng?" Su Xiaoxiao frowned, her brows knitting together in doubt.
Outside the warlord's building, she had personally witnessed how Lin Mo had slain the top assassins sent by the Godslayer Temple and the Soul Destruction Sect. His strength was unprecedented, yet Master Mo suggested that Bai Gu Cheng might kill Lin Mo, which surprised her.
Su Gongyang put down his teacup, his eyes shimmering with the wisdom of an elder. This elder, who controlled billions in wealth, had weathered the storms of Huaxia's history.
"Ah…" Su Gongyang sighed softly, looking at Su Xiaoxiao, and said, "There is something I didn't want to tell you about yet, planning to wait until you were a bit older."
"What is it, Grandpa?" Curiosity sparkled in Su Xiaoxiao's eyes.
Not only Su Xiaoxiao, but Su Yongchun, Su Anshun, Su Feiyue, Su Minmin, and Su Ze—all from the Su Family—also focused their attention on the elder.
"Huaxia is vast and rich, with thousands of years of cultural heritage. Many legends about extraordinary figures and events are not fabrications, but are based on what people saw and heard at the time, with slight adaptations. Thus, although Huaxia appears calm on the surface, there are undercurrents beneath, and it is teeming with Martial Arts Masters, Magic Users, and Superpower Users."
Su Gongyang continued, "Our Su Family has been recruiting masters like Master Mo for decades, aiming to establish a foundation for our family; otherwise, once I'm gone, our family would inevitably be swallowed up by others without our military and political connections."
Everyone showed surprise upon hearing Su Gongyang's words.
"Wealth and power may prevail in the secular world, but when facing genuine Martial Arts Masters, Magic Masters, and Superpower Users, they are all ineffective. The Bai Family is actually backed by the Joy Sect," Su Gongyang dropped another bombshell.
Master Mo, too, showed surprise. As a man from the Inner Martial World, he naturally recognized the name of the Joy Sect, the largest Hidden Sect in the Northeast, which generally does not meddle in worldly affairs. Several of its elders are extremely powerful.
This information was known only to a very few within the truly great families; others lacked even the qualifications to touch or know of it.
Su Feiyue managed a mobile gaming company worth over a billion while studying at university. Su Minmin was known as the genius girl at school, one of the contenders for the top scorer in liberal arts, but all these seemed so insignificant in the face of true power.
"So you're saying, if Lin Mo truly offends the Bai Family, he would be offending the Joy Sect?" Su Xiaoxiao gasped, covering her mouth with her hand.
Having accompanied Master Mo, she naturally was aware of many things about Martial Arts. A Martial God Level master could dominate a city as a sovereign, not to mention an organization of Martial God Level masters, which would be immensely powerful.
"These people possess transcendent energy; doesn't the state intervene?" Su Anshun voiced his doubts.
Su Gongyang shook his head and said, "These matters aren't so easily suppressed. These Hidden Sects generally do not get involved in worldly affairs, and furthermore, Western Countries are eyeing us rapaciously. They also have Hidden Masters, who, when entering Huaxia, must be repelled by Huaxia's own Hidden Masters."
Everyone suddenly understood that other nations also had dark and Hidden Masters. The dark and Hidden Masters of Huaxia were also crucial in ensuring national security on another level.
"So, you're saying Lin Mo might be in danger going to the Bai Family?" Su Xiaoxiao suddenly spoke up, having just thought of something.
At that moment, Xia Mengdie, who had been silently sitting on one side, looked towards the mansion gates, a gentle smile playing across her delicate lips: "Mo, he won't be in trouble."
Just then, a servant ran in and announced, "Old Master, Mr. Lin… Mr. Lin has returned."
Indeed, just then, everyone saw a young man's cool figure slowly walking into the mansion.
