Chapter 68 Wu Jin Is Dead. Miao Qing is Seriously Injured!

Opening the box, the fragrance of medicine assaulted his nostrils. The round pills were lined up in a row. At a glance, there were no less than ten of them.

In order for him to leave, this old fox was actually willing to spend so much money. Lin Mo suppressed the confusion in his eyes. Based on his relationship with Miao Jian, something is wrong.

“Clan head Miao is too polite. How could I not agree to such a huge sum of money for me?”

Even if Miao Jian did not say anything, Lin Mo would still have to leave. He could even earn these dozens of pills for free. Why not? After all, the improvements that Qingyang City could bring to him were negligible. The only way was to leave this place as soon as possible and head to a better place.

Previously, Lin Mo had received an invitation from the royal city. Even if he could not stay in the clan in the future, he could still go to the royal city to explore.

Seeing Lin Mo agree, Miao Jian was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that he would have to spend more time talking, or even fighting with each other. “If this is the case, then everyone will be happy. I wonder when you will set off?”

From his tone, it seemed like he was not willing for Lin Mo to stay in Qingyang City for even a moment longer. Lin Mo said indifferently, “After a few days.”

Miao Jian chatted for a while more. Lin Mo did not know if it was his misconception, but he kept feeling as if he was deliberately stalling as if he did not want him to leave.

A faint sense of unease surfaced in Lin Mo’s heart. Could it be that Miao Jian and the others could not hold it in any longer and were about to make a move?

Looking around, he could sense a few powerful spiritual energies. However, they were not a threat to Lin Mo. The Miao clan was a powerful family, so how could they only have a few powerful experts?

Something was clearly not right. There must be something that he had overlooked. The sense of unease in Lin Mo’s heart grew stronger by the minute.

The auction house!

Lin Mo suddenly stood up from his chair. “The sky is getting dark. I won’t disturb the head of the Miao clan anymore. We’ll talk again in the future if we’re fated.”

Miao Jian’s gaze fell outside the window. The smile on his face deepened. “In that case, I won’t keep you here anymore.”

He did not say anything to stop Lin Mo from leaving. Looking at Lin Mo’s hurried back, the third elder beside him had an unconcealed killing intent on his face.

“It seems like this kid has sensed something and will not rest until he’s done with it. We might as well make a move now to prevent any trouble in the future!”

Just as he was about to step forward, he was stopped by Miao Jian.

“Clan head, what’s the meaning of this? Aren’t you afraid of letting this kid escape?”

In the face of the third elder’s confusion, Miao Jian shook his head. His expression was filled with viciousness. “You don’t know about this. What is more despairing than letting him see all his hard work go up in flames with his own eyes?”

“Since he dared to offend the Miao clan, he’ll have to pay a hundred to a thousand times the price. He’ll be unable to live or die.”

It had to be said that making one feel despair was truly vicious.

The malice in Miao Jian’s tone shocked those around him. “Furthermore, we still don’t know this brat’s strength. Yan’er and the others haven’t returned yet. It’s best not to act rashly.”

There was another reason. If Lin Mo returned and saw the miserable state of the auction house and escaped, then Miao Jian could be certain that with his current strength, he would not be able to face off against the Miao clan. Hence, he would not have to worry about the future.

Lin Mo quickened his footsteps and returned to the auction house. However, there was a group of people standing at the entrance.

“It’s too miserable, everyone has died.”

“Who exactly is it? How much hatred and resentment do they have to kill so cruelly?”

“The losses are quite great. I reckon all the treasures inside have been looted.”

“Life is unpredictable. This is how it is in the auction business. The danger is quite great.”

“But why do I hear that the owner of the auction house is very powerful? Even the members of the four great clans have to give him face. Who dares to touch the soil on the head of the lord?”

“You don’t understand. Many people are desperate for wealth. Moreover, as long as they keep it a secret, no one will know. No matter how powerful they are, they won’t be able to take revenge on that group of people.”

Hearing the discussions of the people around him, Lin Mo’s heart thumped.

“The owner is back!”

Someone saw Lin Mo’s arrival and shouted. The crowd was like Moses parting the sea, automatically making a path for him.

Facing the pitiful gazes of the crowd, Lin Mo strode in with large strides. Everywhere he saw was blood red, and even the furnishings and chairs were smashed to pieces. It was a testament to the arrogance of this group of people. The first thing Lin Mo saw was Wu Jin. He was crushed by the violent spiritual power, and his limbs were all broken. His bones were also crushed, and it was almost impossible to see his human form. His eyes were staring at the ceiling. It was as if he had died with his eyes open.

Wu Jin had long since died. Even the great gods could not do anything about it.

Seeing this, Lin Mo’s expression was calm. Only his eyes were deep and terrifying. It was as if the door to hell had suddenly opened, and cold air was emitted from within.

“Rest in peace. I’ll avenge you,” Lin Mo said softly as if he was worried about disturbing the undead. He closed Wu Jin’s eyes.

Not far from Wu Jin, Miao Qing was lying on the ground, covered in wounds, bleeding profusely. It was all spiritual energy and sword wounds. There was almost no intact piece of flesh.

Lin Mo checked his breathing. It was probably because of Miao Qing’s powerful strength that he was still alive.

He quickly let Miao Qing swallow the pill and transferred the spiritual energy to him. Finally, he pulled Miqo Qing back from the brink of death.
