She once thought she had seen through everything, but now faced with Lin Mo's problem, she once again fell into deep conflict in her heart.
"Hahaha!" Hu Qinglei looked up to the sky and laughed, "Lin Mo, you are still too naive. In the devil's way, anything voluntary or not is all a farce. As long as I, Hu Qinglei, want it, it is mine!"
Lin Mo didn't take it seriously. His eyes were still looking at Zi Ling, full of understanding and patience. He was not eager to get the answer, but hoped that Zi Ling could truly express his feelings.
Zi Ling bit her lip and finally decided to face it honestly: "Lin Mo, I... I was forced to become Hu Qinglei's concubine. I didn't come here voluntarily."
"Humph, now that you have arrived at the Demon Palace, you must act according to my rules!" Hu Qinglei snorted coldly, "Don't listen to this heretic's hypocritical deception!"
"Is what Zi Ling said true?" Lin Mo continued to ask.
"It's true." Zi Ling answered with red eyes, "I was living a carefree life in the mortal world, until one day, people from the Demon Palace suddenly came to arrest me...I, I was forced to be brought here.
..."
At this point, Zi Ling was on the verge of tears, her words revealing endless sadness and despair.
The other demonic cultivators present had expressionless faces, as if they were accustomed to this. They believed that there was nothing new in the demonic world about strong men robbing beautiful women.
Only Lin Mo showed rare compassion and pity in his expression.
"Thank you for telling me the truth." Lin Mo sighed slightly.
Zi Ling looked up at him, the fire of hope rekindled in her eyes. She knew that at least she and Lin Mo were not alone.
Hu Qinglei seemed a little dissatisfied. He snorted coldly: "Lin Mo, what does this mean? Do you think this can change reality?"
"It seems we need to have a good talk." Lin Mo turned to Hu Qinglei and said calmly.
"Talk? What to talk about?" Hu Qinglei sneered.
"Exchange." Lin Mo said, "I may be able to give you what you want. But I also have what I want."
"Hmph, I want to see what you, a monk who has just become a god, can give me!" Hu Qinglei said disdainfully.
"For example... the Immortal-Destroying Pearl." Lin Mo said these three words calmly.
"You!" Hu Qinglei and the old man Mu Guan both changed their expressions.
"Do you know the whereabouts of this Immortal-Destroying Pearl?" Hu Qinglei finally looked Lin Mo in the face.
"Not only its whereabouts, I also know its secret." Lin Mo said calmly.
"Useless bluff!" Hu Qinglei shouted angrily, "I will kill you today and search for your soul to see how much you know!"
As he said this, Hu Qinglei raised his hand to form a seal, but the next moment, his movements stopped suddenly and his face turned pale!
Lin Mo just sent a message to Hu Qinglei. The content is unknown, but it seems to have revealed a fatal secret of Hu Qinglei.
"You!" Hu Qinglei said with an ugly face, "You are such a brat, how dare you threaten me so quickly!"
Lin Mo smiled slightly and looked at Hu Qinglei: "How dare I threaten senior, I just mentioned a name. I think everyone should understand that it doesn't matter whether I really have this thing in my hand. What's important is that I
Hopefully a way can be found to solve the problem."
Hu Qinglei's face was a little ugly. He could feel the uncertainty revealed in Lin Mo's words, which made him feel doubtful. Although he was confident that he had strong strength, he also knew that Lin Mo was not a
An easy opponent to deal with.
Hu Laomo's eyes flashed with hesitation and fear. Although he suspected that Lin Mo did not have the complete Immortal-Destroying Pearl in his hand, Lin Mo's actions and attitude forced him to reconsider his plan.
If this treasure really exists, then the words in Lin Mo's hand will become a bargaining chip that cannot be ignored.
Hu Qinglei was vaguely suspicious. He quietly sent a voice message to Old Monster Feng and asked: "Does this Immortal-Destroying Pearl that Lin Mo mentioned really exist?"
Old Monster Feng pondered for a moment and then replied via voice: "He does have the Immortal-Destroying Pearl in his hand."
Hu Qinglei's face turned pale. He didn't expect that Lin Mo actually had the Immortal-Destroying Pearl in his hand, and a feeling of fear arose in his heart.
Lin Mo and Hu Qinglei were in a heated exchange of words. Everyone present watched with interest, but knew nothing about the content of their confrontation.
Lin Mo smiled slightly, seeming to understand Hu Lao Mo's inner turmoil: "Hu Lao Mo, maybe I can put forward an exchange condition to make you reconsider your plan."
Hu Lao Mo frowned slightly. He did not refuse directly, but waited for Lin Mo to continue.
Lin Mo took a deep breath and said secretly: "I not only have the Immortal-Destroying Pearl in my hand, but also the Yang-Returning Water."
When Hu Lao Mo heard the name Hui Yang Shui, his eyes couldn't help but light up. Hui Yang Shui is a treasure that prolongs life and has an irresistible temptation for monks.
"You kid, you are really a salesman!" Hu Laomo looked at Lin Mo gloomily, "Take out the Immortal-Destroying Pearl and Yang-Returning Water you are talking about and have a look!"
"I can't provide the Huiyang Water for the time being." Lin Mo said calmly, "But I can provide the key ingredient of the Huiyang Water, Cold Marrow."
"Cold marrow?" Hu Laomo narrowed his eyes, "That's just a material blended into Huiyang Water, and it's far less precious than the real finished product."
"But if there is no cold marrow, how can you refine Yang Shui?" Lin Mo smiled faintly, "This cold marrow is a rare treasure."
There was a hint of doubt and desire in Hu Lao Mo's voice, "Do you really have cold marrow in your hand?"
Lin Mo smiled slightly, took out a crystal clear bead from the storage bag, and placed it on the table: "This is the cold marrow."
Hu Laomo pondered for a moment and finally said: "Okay, I really need this cold marrow. If you hand it over, I can consider letting this woman go."
"I have a better proposal." Lin Mo said, "Use this cold marrow in exchange for Zi Ling's freedom for a hundred years from now on. We don't owe each other, and we can each go our own way, okay?"
"You!" Hu Laomo glared at Lin Mo.
"This is my bottom line." Lin Mo said calmly, "You can think about it."
The eyes of the monks in the main hall were attracted by this bead, and their breaths seemed to freeze because of it.
"Cold marrow...really cold marrow!" Someone couldn't help but exclaimed.
Hu Laomo's eyes were almost frozen. He looked at the crystal bead, and the uncontrollable emotion in his heart made him couldn't help but reach out his hand, trying to grasp the cold marrow in his hand.
Lin Mo did not hesitate to put the cold marrow back into the storage bag and said with a smile: "The cold marrow will only be handed over after the exchange is successful. I believe you understand what I mean."
Hu Laomo's hand stopped in mid-air, and a complicated light flashed in his eyes. Lin Mo's strategy put him in a dilemma. He knew that he could not give up easily, but at the same time, he also understood that Lin Mo was not a
An easy opponent to deal with.
The atmosphere in the hall became more tense, and all the monks were quietly waiting for Hu Lao Mo's decision. Lin Mo stood calmly, looking at Hu Lao Mo with a smile.
"This Cold Marrow is a priceless treasure!" After Lin Mo proposed to exchange the Cold Marrow for the Purple Spirit, the monks in the Demon Palace talked a lot and were all very interested in this deal.
"It is said that this cold marrow is the result of hundreds of years of ancient ice souls in the deep sea cold pool. You only get one every hundred years."
"Yes, I have also heard that this cold marrow can enhance your cultivation qualifications and is also very helpful in refining various elixirs."
"Cold marrow?" A monk murmured to himself, with a greedy light shining in his eyes. "That is an indispensable material for refining Yang Shui."
The monks in the hall began to argue, and everyone became very interested in the value of cold marrow. This scarce resource was an almost irresistible temptation for the monks.
Lin Mo used Han Marrow to influence the hearts of everyone in the Demon Palace, raising the bargaining chip to a new level.
In the confrontation between Lin Mo and Hu Lao Mo, Zi Ling appeared extremely fragile. She stood aside and felt the powerful spiritual pressure from the two god-transformation monks, which made her heart full of helplessness and anxiety.
Although she had condensed her Nascent Soul, she still had no power to fight back against Hu Lao Mo, who was in the realm of gods. If Lin Mo hadn't been there, she would have dissipated into ashes.
Lin Mo's eyes turned to Zi Ling, and he noticed the anxiety in her heart. He smiled slightly, as if to convey a kind of comfort, and at the same time, he also faintly showed his concern for her.
"Thank you." Zi Ling said softly to Lin Mo.
Lin Mo nodded and continued to deal with Hu Laomo.
Zi Ling knew that her fate was entirely in Lin Mo's hands. If this negotiation failed, she would probably suffer a worse fate.
She couldn't help but look at Lin Mo, her eyes full of anxiety and expectation.
A strange expression gradually appeared on Hu Lao Mo's face, as if he was competing with himself.
On the one hand, he is extremely eager to obtain cold marrow. This thing is of great benefit to him in extending his life.
But on the other hand, it wouldn't hurt him to let Zi Ling go. Anyway, this woman couldn't pose a substantial threat to him.
"You and I each take what we need and weigh the pros and cons. This deal is not unacceptable."
Hu Lao Mo said to himself, with hesitation on his face.
Lin Mo's negotiation strategy was influencing this old devil's heart. Hu Laomo felt shaken in his heart, and his contradictory emotions were constantly intertwined, making him fall into a deep struggle.
The atmosphere in the hall became tense again, and the monks were quietly waiting for Hu Laomo's decision.
In the main hall, the candlelight was dim and the atmosphere was heavy. Lin Mo and Hu Laomo stood in the hall, their eyes met, as if chill was pouring out of the air.
Hu Laomo's voice echoed in the hall: "Yes, I have admired the name of this cold marrow for a long time. It's just..." His eyes were locked on the piece of cold marrow in Lin Mo's hand, and a greedy light flickered in his eyes.
in the eyes.
"Please tell me." Lin Mo nodded slightly.
"I would like to add a small condition at the end." Hu Laomo smiled eerily, "You need to take a hard blow from me before the exchange can be successful."
A terrifying force spread like a mountain. Lin Mo was startled. He sensed Hu Lao Mo's intention, and it seemed that he was going to conduct a test.
This additional condition shocked everyone, and Zi Ling could not help but frown. She felt the indifference and ridicule of Hu Lao Mo, who seemed to be challenging Lin Mo's bottom line. She sent a message to Lin Mo: "This condition is too dangerous, you
Don't take chances."
Lin Mo shook his head at Zi Ling, saying that he could handle it, and then said to Hu Laomo, "I promise you. Then please give me some advice."
Hu Lao Mo laughed loudly, moved, and left the hall, leaving behind a message: "I'll wait for you outside."
"Wait!" Just as Lin Mo was about to leave the hall, Hu Laomo's voice came again, "I forgot to mention one detail."
Lin Mo looked at Hu Lao Mo doubtfully.
"When you accept this blow from me, you cannot use any method to dodge or resist, including the Immortal-Destroying Pearl in your hand." Hu Laomo smiled conspiratorially, "How about it, do you still dare to challenge me?"
"You!" Zi Ling scolded Hu Lao Mo with dissatisfaction, "That's too much!"
Lin Mo did not answer directly, but looked at Hu Lao Mo quietly, as if weighing the pros and cons.
"I promise you." After a moment, Lin Mo said calmly.
"No!" Zi Ling was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, "This is too risky, I don't agree!"
"Don't worry." Lin Mo smiled lightly at Zi Ling.
Zi Ling wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Lin Mo. Lin Mo looked at Hu Lao Mo and said calmly: "I agree to your conditions. Please fulfill your promise and don't break it."
After Hu Lao Mo put forward additional conditions, Zi Ling's expression seemed a little hesitant. She frowned slightly, as if she was thinking about something. At this critical moment, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Hu Lao Mo firmly.
"Wait, I changed my mind." Just when Lin Mo was about to challenge, Zi Ling said, "I don't want to leave here." Her voice was clear and firm, as if she had made up her mind.
"What?" Hu Lao Mo looked at Zi Ling in surprise, "I have promised to let you go, and now you are going back on your word?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't think carefully before." Zi Ling lowered his head, "I'm used to the life here and don't want to leave the Demon Palace."
Hu Lao Mo's face changed slightly. He did not expect Zi Ling to be so determined. He frowned: "Zi Ling, where do you think the Demon Palace is? Can you veto the decision I made?"
Lin Mo laughed softly. He felt the firmness in Zi Ling's heart, which made his heart feel warm. He looked at Zi Ling, his eyes full of admiration and encouragement.
"Hu Lao Mo, I have agreed to your terms and will take your blow." Turning to look at Hu Lao Mo, Lin Mo's voice was calm and firm. He did not change because of Zi Ling's decision.
"You!" Zi Ling glared at Hu Lao Mo angrily.
"Let me show you what real power is!" Hu Laomo's eyes shot out black light, and a black thread shot out from his fingertips and penetrated straight into Zi Ling's body.
"Oh!" Zi Ling immediately bent over in pain.
Lin Mo's expression changed at first, thinking that the old devil was going to regret it, but then he felt relieved, and it turned out that the old devil was lifting the restriction in Zi Ling's body.
After a while, Heisi had taken out all the restrictions in Zi Ling's body. Zi Ling was free again and his mana returned to normal.
"Thank you." Zi Ling gave Lin Mo a grateful look.
Lin Mo smiled faintly, knowing that Zi Ling was out of danger.
After Zi Ling lifted the restriction, Hu Lao Mo glanced at everyone with cold eyes, and then he slowly left the hall.
Every step he takes exudes a powerful aura, as if he is the master of the entire Demon Palace.
