"Only the Scepter and the ring are left, do you know where they are?"
Qiao bowed respectfully, standing to the side, placed his hand on his chest and said, "Honorable Mr. Lin, as far as I know, the Scepter is in the hands of Hongmen, and the ancient ring is in the hands of the Paul Family."
Lin Mo squinted slightly. He had dealt with Hongmen members before, even imprisoning Sikong Lianyan for a few months as his servant.
Unexpectedly, the Scepter was in the Hongmen people's hands.
"There are experts within Hongmen, I dare not provoke them lightly," Qiao continued.
Lin Mo was somewhat surprised.
Qiao is an SSS-level Superpower User, with half a Blood Clan system, much stronger than typical Superpower Users, commanding several SS-level superpower warrior elites, yet he dares not provoke Hongmen lightly, showing how powerful Hongmen is.
"There's a legend that a Divine Force Ancestor is stationed in Hongmen, but it's just a legend, nobody knows if it's true," Qiao said.
Lin Mo frowned, a Divine Strength Expert, the peak of Martial Arts on Earth.
Could it be, besides Fang Tangjing, there's another Divine Strength Expert on Earth?
Lin Mo felt a bit hesitant. With his current strength, challenging an expert of Divine Strength was indeed somewhat risky. Although the opponent might not be able to kill him, he couldn't defeat the opponent either.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo clenched his fists: less than half a year until the Eastern Hidden Sect Qingxuan Sect Master appears again. If he can't achieve Innate in a short time,
Given the enmity with Qingxuan Sect Master, not only might he be killed, he wouldn't be able to protect his parents, Xia Mengdie, Yingzi, Long Ge Yue, and others either.
"Even if Hongmen truly has a Divine Force expert, I must give it a try." Lin Mo clenched his fist, steadfast determination gleaming in his young eyes.
"What about the Paul Family?"
Lin Mo continued to ask. Qiao answered respectfully, "Mr. Lin, compared to Hongmen, the Paul Family is easier to handle. The Paul Family is a top-tier family on the Mainland of America, cultivating some special talents, but none are as strong as Mr. Lin. Making the Paul Family hand over the ring is a piece of cake."
Hearing Qiao's words, Lin Mo nodded lightly.
So it seemed, only Hongmen was challenging to handle, while the Paul Family appeared much easier.
"Where is the Paul Family located?"
Lin Mo asked urgently.
After all, time was very tight, he wanted to quickly find the battlefield relic to upgrade his strength, then return to the East to protect his loved ones and family.
"The Paul Family's headquarters is in New York City, but no need for Mr. Lin to handle this, I'll take Fire Phoenix and others there, retrieve the ring and deliver it to Mr. Lin," Qiao said, trying to please.
Lin Mo knew New York was a highly prosperous metropolis, ranking among the top five globally in terms of economy and population. Most importantly, it seemed he had an acquaintance there he hadn't seen for years.
"No, I'll go myself, and see an old friend," Lin Mo gently shook his head and said.
Qiao was momentarily stunned, not knowing what old friend Lin Mo referred to, but nodded nonetheless.
Lin Mo said, "You serve me, I won't wrong you. If you dare to have rebellious thoughts, even far away, I can obliterate you!"
With a light remark, Qiao's heart suddenly trembled intensely, even his soul felt a shiver.
Lin Mo seemed to have used some special magic, making Qiao feel as if his life and death were under Lin Mo's control, as if a string extended in the Void between them. If Lin Mo severed this string, he'd vanish from the world.
Moreover, during Lin Mo's week-long retreat, Qiao had almost read all family secret records, yet found no solution, increasing his awe of Lin Mo. Lin Mo wisely knew the power of giving stick, then giving sweet; slowly said, "You're all Superpower Users, but you're training incorrectly, like primitive humans using friction to make fire, not understanding cultivation methods, so unable to fully exert maximum strength. I'll give you several sets of cultivation techniques to practice."
With that, Lin Mo flicked his fingers, four beams of golden light merged into the brows of Qiao, Yula, Fire Phoenix, and Kenneth.
The four stood in place stunned, then felt their minds filled with many things. After a while, the four widened their eyes, showing shocked expressions simultaneously.
Lin Mo imparted cultivation methods, extremely mysterious, even though the four didn't understand cultivation techniques, they could sense the power within. Following these techniques, they could elevate their strength not by a mere level.
This level isn't an upgrade from SS-level Superpower User to SSS-level but rather exerting SS-level Superpower User's current strength to reach SSS-level.
Initially, Qiao and the other three harbored some grievances, but seeing Lin Mo's imparted cultivation methods, the last trace of dissatisfaction vanished, eager to be subdued by Lin Mo sooner.
"Thank you, Mr. Lin."
"Thank you, Mr. Lin."
"Thank you, Mr. Lin."
After finishing everything, Lin Mo stood tall and walked toward the villa's entrance.
A modern international city.
Located alongside Walnut Street in New York, an international 'Fuglas' University stands here, covering ten thousand acres, including various recreational and living facilities, like a city within a city.
"Yanzi, wait for me."
At the school gate, two young girls with Asian faces, long black hair, and Eastern features stood together.
Both wore coats, tight trousers, accentuating young girls' graceful figures, especially with fair skin, standing together attracted many male students' attention.
"You ran off right after the professor finished class, what's so urgent you couldn't wait?" Complained the girl running from behind.
The girl was about 1.65 meters tall, wearing a white coat, having long black hair, looking quite beautiful, dressed in name brands, clearly from a well-off family to attend such a Noble University.
As for the girl she was talking to, slightly shorter, with a somewhat round face, a delicate beauty.
"Luo Xue, sorry, I'm meeting someone today," Guo Yan said apologetically.
Luo Xue's cheeks showed a teasing expression, "Hehe, is it a boy?"
"Mm." Guo Yan nodded lightly.
Luo Xue's face showed shock, "Ah, really? But you don't like boys, you've been in school for almost four years and barely talked to guys."
Luo Xue knew her friend well, kindhearted but shy and introverted, usually not talking to boys.
Guo Yan's cheeks reddened slightly and said, "I'm meeting a friend of my brother, he's coming to New York, so..." "Alright, let me see if it's a handsome guy." Luo Xue saw her friend's blush and jokingly said.
In the distance, a young boy in casual clothes with black hair and eyes walked towards them.
