The Seventh Base

Chapter 1062: Chapter 121: Performance

Inside the Holy Land Gate, powerful figures from all sides stood in confrontation, the atmosphere somewhat oppressive.

Lin Jian’s words cast a shadow over everyone’s hearts; he was so confident, searching for the whereabouts of the Ancient Book.

Could it be that Lin Jian truly didn’t obtain the Ancient Book?

If Lin Jian had obtained it, with his abilities, leaving this place wouldn’t be impossible.

But if Lin Jian had taken it, then his acting was remarkably convincing.

“Searching through memories?”

At this time, a voice was heard, and Taman of the Heavenly God Race spoke: “I’m not interested in that Ancient Book anymore. If you want to compete for it, go ahead. I’m not participating.”

After speaking, Taman turned to leave, preparing to take the Transcendents of the Heavenly God Race and depart.

“Wait.”

Lin Jian called out, frowning slightly. Attempting to leave now would easily provoke some imagination in others.

Hearing Lin Jian’s shout, Taman also frowned. As the leading figure of the Heavenly God Race, the number one person below the Skywalker of the Tyr Star Domain, his combat power was extremely formidable and domineering. He was not afraid of Lin Jian.

“I didn’t obtain that Ancient Book. This place, being the territory of your Old Imperial Family, is suitable for Transcendents cultivating spiritual power, so I’m no longer interested,” Taman said. “First of all, searching through memories is impossible. But if you insist on believing that I took it and want to forcefully detain me, then I wouldn’t mind testing the combat power of the Lin’s descendants’ number one.”

His voice was assertive, infused with a domineering aura, and an invisible pressure was released alongside it.

Taman’s combat power was undeniable. If Lin Jian wanted to detain him, a great battle would be inevitable.

The other Transcendents also turned their gaze towards Taman. His words were not without reason; everyone sensed that the Ancient Book was more suited for Transcendents cultivating spiritual power.

Taman claimed he didn’t obtain the Ancient Book and was no longer interested, which was most likely true.

Therefore, no one spoke up to forcibly detain him.

After hearing Taman’s words, Lin Jian didn’t say much more. Seeing Lin Jian silent, Taman turned his head back and then stepped away, with the Transcendents of the Heavenly God Race following in great numbers, departing grandly.

As those from the Tyr Star Domain saw Taman leave, many followed along; perhaps this place no longer concerned them.

But a contest was still inevitable.

“Is there any other way to find out who took it?” At this time, a top figure from the Odyssey Star Domain asked.

He was from the Odyssey Family of the Li Family, once a top family under the Silver Star Empire. The ancestor of the Li Family once served as a Duke of the Silver Star Empire. The speaker was Li Daoyi, a top genius of the Li Family.

Among top Transcendents from various families of the Odyssey Star Domain who came to the Empire Trial Field, Li Daoyi’s strength was likely first place, with only one person capable of matching him.

Since the fall of the Silver Star Empire, the Li Family became a dominant force, unrestrained by anyone, controlling their planet and extending influence to surrounding life stars.

Therefore, given Li Daoyi’s status, it’s clear he wouldn’t allow his memories to be searched; he could only accept finding the Ancient Book holder by other means.

Li Daoyi’s words echoed the thoughts of many.

Moreover, according to Lin Jian, the memory search would be conducted by him, which posed no disadvantage to himself; he naturally didn’t mind doing so, but others could not accept it.

“There is no other way but to examine each person one by one,” Lin Jian replied. It was a no-better option in a difficult situation, as no one could prove otherwise, not even himself.

Just like when Delon suspected that he took it, and indeed, his suspicion was the greatest. He didn’t take it but couldn’t refute it.

Given the situation, the only choice was to find out who got the Ancient Book.

“I cannot accept such a method,” Li Daoyi responded.

Subsequently, people began to voice their objections, particularly those from the Odyssey Star Domain.

“Lin Jian, I think you and your Lin clan people are probably the most suspicious,” Delon from Saint Tiya Star spoke, unwilling to let Lin Jian search his memories.

“If not by searching memories, then tell me, how do we find the person?” Lin Jian countered.

A silence fell, how could they find out?

Though they couldn’t accept Lin Jian’s method, they had to admit it seemed to be the only solution.

After a moment of silence, Xu Mo’s voice was heard: “I’m no longer competing for the treasure of the Ancient Book; like Taman, I’m withdrawing.”

As his words fell, numerous eyes fixed upon him, locking onto Xu Mo.

Xu Mo’s performance was not mediocre; his combat power was extremely formidable. His strength had already been displayed, and he was adept with spiritual power.

Although the probability of him obtaining the Ancient Book was low, certainly far less than Lin Jian.

Yet, everyone here was a suspect, so Xu Mo was equally suspicious, even if it was just a small probability he obtained the Ancient Book.

However, such a small probability couldn’t be easily dismissed.

If they let everyone go as with Taman, the Ancient Book might very well be taken away.

“Wait.”

“Wait.”

Two voices were heard simultaneously; the speakers were Transcendents from the Lin’s clan and the Odyssey Star Domain.

Previously, Xu Mo had killed Lin’s Lin Jia and Lin Kai, and also massacred Transcendents from the Sadar family of the Odyssey Star Domain.

The Lin’s clan and those from the Odyssey Star Domain didn’t look favorably upon him.

Now, Xu Mo wanted to just leave like that?

Without being subjected to a memory search, to simply walk away unscathed?

Obviously, they won’t agree.

Upon hearing this, Xu Mo frowned and said, “I haven’t taken the ancient book, nor could I let you search my memory. Since this ancient book belongs to the Old Imperial Family, I assume my chances of obtaining it are very low, so I automatically give up. Is there a problem with that?”

“Of course there’s a problem.”

A member of the Lin’s Transcendents spoke up, but it wasn’t Lin Jian; it was someone else. He stared at Xu Mo and said, “In such a hurry to leave, let’s check your memory then?”

Xu Mo frowned, and immediately, an invisible aura was released from the other’s body, with spiritual power spreading out.

Zero walked over to Xu Mo’s side, and behind him, Augustus and Lowell stepped forward, staring at the figures opposite, with energy aura emerging from their bodies, confronting their opponents.

However, Xu Mo’s side was only a small team of five, which seemed somewhat outmatched in front of the others.

Although Xu Mo had defeated many people before, those who remain now are the elites among elites. Lin Jia and Lin Kai couldn’t compare, because previously, Lin Jia hadn’t even contested for a position, whereas those here all had.

Xu Mo extended his hand, signaling Augustus and Lowell to retreat. His eyes were fixed on the person from the Lin family and he spoke, “If you want to check, you can try.”

Lin Fan, a leading figure among Lin’s Transcendents aside from Lin Jian, spoke, with combat power second only to Lin Jian among Lin’s paragons.

Seeing the powerful confidence in Xu Mo, Lin Fan stepped forward and said, “Then let’s try.”

As he stepped forward, an overwhelming energy storm erupted from his body.

In an instant, it seemed as if endless stars sprinkled down, encircling him, making the area around Lin Fan extraordinarily radiant. The spiritual domain erupted, enveloping the surrounding area, and at this moment, many were dragged into that spiritual domain, as if they had entered the cosmic starry sky.

Around Lin Fan’s body appeared stars, connecting to form a brilliant constellation pattern. For a time, the energy aura surrounding Lin Fan became overwhelmingly dominant.

The core individuals of Lin’s family, each possessed enormous combat power, and Lin Fan was no exception.

This is also why the Empire’s Old Imperial Family, Lin’s legacy, although the Empire collapsed back then, the Lin family was not destroyed because they still had top-notch Transcendents to withstand that terrifying storm.

Xu Mo sensed the aura surrounding Lin Fan’s body, and the Thunder Power erupted, with a cosmic starry sky appearing around him, equally domineering. His eyes flickered with contemplation, still thinking about how to escape.

“Boom.”

A muffled sound rang out as Lin Fan attacked, starry light converging. His body instantly charged toward Xu Mo to kill, the constellation pattern around him radiating dazzling energy light, making Lin Fan’s whole body brilliant, illuminating this space. As he punched, the constellation’s phantom lit up, containing terrifying power.

Xu Mo also moved forward, a terrifying power erupted, and a muffled sound rang in the air. Neither of them avoided but collided directly head-on.

“Boom…”

Savage force swept the surrounding space, raising an energy storm. Lin Fan frowned, for Xu Mo’s power was unexpectedly strong enough to withstand his attack.

Many from the Lin family were also surprised, for Lin Fan was far stronger than Lin Jia.

“Crack.” Among the surrounding thunder, numerous Flying Swords suddenly appeared, buzzing terribly with a terrifying intent to kill.

Seeing this, the constellation pattern behind Lin Fan lit up, and immediately energy Long Spears formed, equally dominant, as if summoned from the starry sky.

“Bang.”

“Bang.”

The Flying Swords and Long Spears almost simultaneously exploded, rushing toward each other, colliding in mid-air to form a dreadful destruction storm.

The surrounding crowd was quite shocked by this scene, not interfering with the battle, even looking forward to it.

Lin Fan and Xu Mo charged at each other simultaneously, with a gun appearing in Lin Fan’s hand and a knife in Xu Mo’s.

Gun light and knife light exploded, colliding once more.

The two were fiercely engaged at the center, with the energy storm raging more terrifyingly, witnessing this made many of the Transcendents below feel their hearts skip a beat. In an instant, the two had exchanged countless times, attacking against attacking.

“Boom…”

Their spiritual powers also exploded simultaneously, invading each other relentlessly. Their hands never paused, with spiritual powers frantically attacking each other.

In Xu Mo’s mind, Lin Fan’s spiritual power was extremely overbearing, violently attacking just as it did outside, causing Xu Mo’s spiritual power to seem on the verge of collapse, turning into countless light spots, being invaded by Lin Fan.

In an instant, Lin Fan saw many memory images.

“Boom.” Xu Mo was thoroughly enraged, with spiritual power counterattacking fiercely, as if willing to perish together with the opponent, while the attack in his hand became even more fierce.

Yet another violent collision occurred, as the two separated, with Xu Mo’s figure being sent flying, while Lin Fan merely took a step back, staring at the figure opposite.

Xu Mo’s eyes were cold, staring fiercely at the opponent.

“No.”

Lin Fan spoke, glancing at Lin Jian, indicating it wasn’t Xu Mo.

From the memories he glimpsed, Xu Mo merely believed he couldn’t seize the ancient book and didn’t want to get involved in this turmoil.

Lin Jian glanced at Xu Mo without saying much.

“Let’s go.”

Xu Mo’s face was gloomy, staring at the opposite Lin Fan, but he did not continue to attack and spoke.

With those words, he turned and left. Zero’s silver eyes glinted with peculiarity but quickly returned to normal, leaving with Xu Mo.

“Senior Brother Xu Mo actually lost,” Lowell thought inwardly. The elite Transcendents of the Lin family were undeniably powerful, but Senior Brother Xu Mo had less cultivation time and should be able to surpass them in the future. The gap isn’t large.

A group of five left the area, as not far away, Heath O’Brien watched their departing figures.

Xu Mo was strong, but compared to Lin’s Lin Fan, he was still a bit lacking.
