"Our Hongmen is here in Yun Province mainly to do some jade business, but someone has injured our Hongmen members," Sikong Lianyan slowly said, his gaze briefly flickering over Bai Rui, the corner of his mouth curving into a slight arc.
"The person who injured our Hongmen member has a deep relationship with the young lady of the Bai Family. I have waited for him for a week, and he still hasn't shown up. My patience is running out."
Sikong Lianyan's voice wasn't loud, but it was very clear to everyone's ears.
"Does he even dare to come? Maybe he's already run off," Dan Wen sneered.
Dan Wen was both jealous and afraid of Lin Mo's show-stopping appearance at the Gambling Stone conference last time. Now seeing Hongmen after Lin Mo, he was naturally overjoyed.
"Even the number one family in Yun Province is like this; he just knows some martial arts, how can he dare to come back?"
"Yeah, maybe he's already fled."
"I think so too. He boasted a lot at the Gambling Stone conference, but now he's nowhere to be seen."
Many people began whispering to each other. The Liao Family members also had extremely grave expressions. Lin Mo's relationship with the Liao Family was also 'extraordinary'. As Hongmen erupted in anger, the Liao Family was afraid they might get dragged into it.
The people of the Liao Family now regretted their decisions so much they could turn green.
Lin Mo had killed Black Panther, and there was still room for redemption, but Lin Mo had injured Mr. Hong, and even declared that he wouldn't let Hongmen step half into Tengchong. It was a harsh slap in the face of Hongmen. How could they possibly let him go?
"This Lin Mo, at the Gambling Stone conference he liked to talk big, but now that Hongmen's people have come, he's gone into hiding," Liao Jun said through clenched teeth, filled with indignation.
"Alas, our Liao Family is done for this time," Liao Changjing sighed deeply.
Only Liao Zhiping remained as unmoved as Taishan, sitting on a wooden chair. Yet in his eyes shone a bright light as he said in a deep voice, "Without Mr. Lin here, I won't allow you to keep flapping your gums."
Hearing Liao Zhiping's words, everyone's faces showed embarrassment, and although resentment lurked in their hearts, they dared not say anything further.
"Dad, I'm speaking the truth. Hongmen's people are knocking on our door, and even the Bai Family can't stop them. If Lin Mo doesn't show up, he might even implicate us," Liao Changjing said with a frown.
Liao Zhiping sighed softly, "Stop talking about it. Mr. Lin is no ordinary person; he will definitely come."
Low voices filled the entire courtyard as everyone whispered among themselves.
Nobody expected Hongmen to suddenly arrive in Tengchong, and that even the Bai Family couldn't resist.
But the topic of more discussion was Lin Mo. He had startled everyone at the Gambling Stone conference, defeating Mr. Hu, killing Black Panther, and injuring Mr. Hong, yet now he didn't dare to show his face.
"I told you, that kid's all talk. Now that Hongmen's people are here, he's probably long gone."
"Yeah, after all, this is Hongmen, a major international force. There aren't many powers in the world that can contend with Hongmen."
"This young lady is the daughter of Hongmen Huaxia's Branch Sect Leader, and the few people she brought with her are not weak either. How can Lin Mo still dare to appear?"
Sikong Lianyan, calm and composed, took a sip from his teacup, turned his head to look at Bai Rui, and smiled, "If your Brother Mo doesn't show up today, I'll kill you. Aren't you afraid?"
Bai Rui, dressed in white clothes whiter than snow, looked clear and detached. Sitting together with Sikong Lianyan, who was dressed in black leather jacket and pants, they formed a contrast of black and white, equally striking in appearance, creating a unique beauty.
From beginning to end, Sikong Lianyan never saw any signs of panic, tension, or fear on Bai Rui's face, which made her somewhat puzzled.
"Brother Mo will definitely come, and just with the few of you, I'm afraid Brother Mo could squash you with just a finger," Bai Rui said with a detached expression and an icy tone.
"Heh heh, if he's really that impressive, why hasn't he shown up these past few days?" Sikong Lianyan's willow leaf eyebrows raised slightly, "I think he already knows I'm here, so he must have been scared off long ago, right?"
Bai Rui turned her head, her clear eyes tinged with a hint of mockery as she looked at Sikong Lianyan, gently shaking her head. Parting her rosy lips, she uttered two words: "Ignorant."
"You..."
Sikong Lianyan clenched her fists, her slender, seductive eyes flashing with anger as she fiercely bit down on her silver teeth. "Hmph, actually, I quite admire you—such a young age and already holding great authority in the Bai Family. It's a shame that a woman like you will ultimately be deceived by men. If he really cared about you, he wouldn't let you fall into my hands." Sikong Lianyan shook her head. "If you are willing to submit to me, perhaps I would spare your little life."
"There's no need, if you dare harm a hair on a Bai Family member's head, not just you, but the entire Hongmen, will suffer the calamity of collapse." Bai Rui stared directly at Sikong Lianyan, showing no sign of weakness.
The two stunning women locked eyes, and it was as if two silver thunderbolts intertwined in the air, crackling fiercely.
"Today, if Lin Mo still doesn't come, I'll scar your face beyond recognition," Sikong Lianyan declared, lifting her chin, her face revealing a trace of coldness.
"You dare, if you harm Xiao Rui, Mr. Lin will never let you off," Bai Zhan Hall suddenly stood up, clenching his fists, his eyes wide with rage.
"Noisy."
A bald man, like a polar bear, let out a cold huff and waved his hand, unleashing a powerful surge of True Yuan that struck fiercely.
Bai Zhan Hall crossed his arms to protect his chest, but he was still sent flying backward.
"Uncle Bai," Bai Rui bit her teeth, her almond-shaped eyes filled with rage.
The expressions of several elders from the Bai Family changed at once, and the others showed signs of embarrassment.
The Bai Family of Yun Province, the number one family, had never been in such a sorry state.
The Shan Family, the merchants, the Liao Family, and the other families of Yun Province suddenly all felt a sense of sorrow for the misfortune of their kind.
After all, Hongmen was not a local power of Yun Province, and now that they were getting involved, they would disrupt the power structure of Yun Province in the future.
"Lin Mo, if you still don't show up, I'm going to kill people from the Bai Family," Sikong Lianyan suddenly stood up, her gaze reaching into the distance, her voice clear yet crisp, resonating throughout the entire courtyard.
Her black hair, like a waterfall, flew back in the wind, as if she were a peerless goddess.
"If you dare touch a single hair on the Bai Family member, I will kill you."
Suddenly, a cold voice that could chill one to the bone rang out, the person unseen yet the voice heard first.
The people in the courtyard looked around, yet no one was seen.
The Five Tigers of Hongmen also frowned, Lin Mo had injured Mr. Hong, which meant his strength was nothing to scoff at.
But with the five of them together, united, unless a high-level expert of the Emperor Realm appeared, they would not feel intimidated.
"Brother Xiao Mo, is that you?" Bai Rui excitedly stood up from her chair, her clear eyes shining with tears.
Excitement and thrill showed on the faces of the Bai Family members as well.
Lin Mo, the number one Martial God Strong Person in Huaxia, a presence that dominated over the Heavenly Sect!
The Liao Family members were also overjoyed at the same time; as long as Lin Mo appeared, whether he could win or not, the people of Hongmen would not take their anger out on the Liao Family.
