The Seventh Base

Capítulo 1182: Chapter 228: Shedding Armor

On this day, the Mystic God Temple was the same as usual.

The cultivators at the Mystic God Temple were busy with their cultivation, while some were battling in the Trial Ground.

However, just then, a commotion broke out, and many people ran in the same direction simultaneously.

“What happened?” someone asked.

“Xu Mo is heading to the Rodrigo family, and several Mystic God Temple elders are accompanying him,” someone responded, “also, Vera is with them.”

This is…

People’s hearts were pounding, stirring waves of emotion.

Are they going after Rodrigo?

Since Xu Mo was assassinated last time, Rodrigo never returned to the Mystic God Temple. Many have discussed this; Rodrigo is highly suspicious, but it seems he shouldn’t be this foolish.

But now, with the Mystic God Temple elders accompanying Xu Mo, could they have some evidence?

Was it really Rodrigo?

Because of Vera, did Rodrigo act foolishly?

“Let’s go.”

They saw a grand procession moving out, heading outside. All the cultivators from the Mystic God Temple followed behind Xu Mo and his companions, wanting to see what was happening.

Additionally, those familiar with Rodrigo informed him of the unfolding events, advising him to prepare.

Thus, Rodrigo received the news immediately.

Inside the Rodrigo family, upon receiving the news, his expression turned extremely grim.

The Mystic God Temple sent out several elders, accompanying Xu Mo?

He realized that Xu Mo had informed the Mystic God Temple about that matter.

Moreover, Vera came along too.

So, has Vera completely trusted Xu Mo?

Rodrigo’s face grew increasingly gloomy. How did things develop to this point?

Xu Mo is merely a cultivator from the Chloe Star Mystic God Temple, while he is a top figure on the Mystic God Ranking, third in the rankings, and Vera is to be his future woman.

But now, why is it like this?

The Mystic God Temple and Vera both stand with Xu Mo?

A surge of fury erupted from Rodrigo; he couldn’t understand, how did it come to this?

That insignificant Xu Mo, who he initially disdained and never took seriously.

Yet now, Xu Mo has pushed him to this point.

At this moment, several figures approached, led by a middle-aged man who bore some resemblance to Rodrigo.

“Father,” Rodrigo spoke, “Did you hear?”

“Someone has already come to the family, and they are official people,” Rodrigo’s father said, “From the Mystic God Temple, Xu Mo and their people are on their way here. I’m asking you for the last time: was the assassination attempt on Xu Mo your doing?”

“No,” Rodrigo replied, clenching his fists tightly.

“Then let’s wait for them to come and see what they intend to do,” Rodrigo’s father said.

“I also want to see, what do they want to do, Xu Mo, what can he do?” Rodrigo said coldly.

Without any evidence, even if he frames him himself, even if the Mystic God Temple and Vera believe Xu Mo, as long as there’s no evidence, what can he do?

The Mystic God Temple and Vera surely won’t act against him, right?

His family is the top family in the O’Brian Republic; neither the Mystic God Temple nor Vera can act recklessly.

Even the leader of the republic, Osman O’Brian, needs a reasonable reason to take action against his family.

So, what does he fear?

“Xu Mo!”

Rodrigo’s voice was icy as he spoke, filled with an overwhelming intent to kill.

He had never hated someone so much, never wanted to kill someone so badly.

Time was passing ever so slowly for Rodrigo.

Every second felt like an ordeal.

Finally.

Outside the Rodrigo family, flying devices arrived through the air, hovering outside.

Soon after, people steadily emerged from the flying devices.

The foremost flying device carried Xu Mo and his group.

Behind them were many transcendents from the Mystic God Temple who had come along.

Xu Mo and Zero walked at the forefront, wearing battle armor, directly entering the Rodrigo family, with Vera O’Brien on the left, and the Elder Council of the Mystic God Temple on the right.

As they entered the Rodrigo family, figures rushed into the sky, and at the same time, they felt themselves being targeted by weapon systems.

Xu Mo and his companions walked straight ahead without stopping as someone attempted to intercept them.

“Boom…” A violent surge of spiritual power instantly invaded, causing them to stand motionless as Xu Mo and his party walked past them unimpeded.

They saw more cultivators rushing into the sky, weapons pointed at Xu Mo and his group.

“Get lost.”

Xu Mo shouted loudly, their heads shook violently, and at the same time, a voice came from afar: “Let them through.”

At this moment, everyone put down their weapons, allowing Xu Mo and the others to move forward.

The Rodrigo family was very large, like a city.

More and more figures soared into the sky, the people of the Rodrigo family were alarmed, flying towards the same direction.

In front of Xu Mo’s group, a line of figures appeared, and he saw Rodrigo, whose cold eyes swept over him with intense killing intent.

Rodrigo’s father took a step forward, looking at the figure beside Xu Mo and said, “Elder Olmer, what is the meaning of this?”

Olmer, the Chief Elder of the Capital Star Ao Temple, held a high position in the Mystic God Temple, had personally come here.

“Rodrigo,” Olmer looked at Rodrigo, and asked, “The Proto from the Capital Star Ao Temple, Wu Lai and Asaka from the Chloe Star Ao Temple, all were harmed by you? Additionally, you had people attempt to assassinate Xu Mo to silence him?”

“Elder Olmer, did Xu Mo tell you all this?” Rodrigo spoke up, “He killed Ryder, everyone saw it with their own eyes, and has been in the Abyss for three years, no one knows what happened. He previously slandered me for harming Proto, creating discord with me. Now he is assassinated, what does that have to do with me? His one-sided story, and yet the Mystic God Temple believes it?”

Behind him, the Cultivators from the Mystic God Temple who had come along were extremely shocked in their hearts.

Could it be that Proto was harmed by Rodrigo?

That Wu Lai and Asaka were killed by Rodrigo too?

They seemed to finally realize how deep the conflict between Xu Mo and Rodrigo was.

So, this was the real fuse?

To the extent that Rodrigo dared to risk the attempt to assassinate Xu Mo?

For some reason, upon hearing these words, they were inclined to believe it immediately, because it all made much more sense.

Moreover, the Mystic God Temple and Vera both believed it too.

So, did Rodrigo really do those things?

“Elder Olmer, could there be some misunderstanding here? If you say Rodrigo killed someone, is there evidence?” Rodrigo’s father frowned and said, appearing somewhat displeased.

“Rodrigo, since you did it, why don’t you dare to come forward and admit it?” At this moment, Vera O’Brien also questioned, her tone icy.

“Vera.” Rodrigo’s fists clenched tightly, his face turned livid, indeed, Vera had completely sided with Xu Mo now.

“I didn’t do it, so why should I admit it?” Rodrigo’s voice carried a roar, feeling extremely aggrieved.

He did the previous things, but the assassination attempt on Xu Mo, that wasn’t his doing.

Of course, he couldn’t admit to the earlier things either.

“Rodrigo, I always considered you an exceptionally talented cultivator but never thought you’d be so vile and ruthless, not even sparing children,” Vera O’Brien spoke coldly.

When she saw the scene of Rodrigo killing Shava, she felt extreme anger in her heart, at that moment, she wished she could kill Rodrigo with her own hands.

Brutal, cold-blooded.

The previous Rodrigo had always approached her with a false mask, but precisely because of this, when the truth was revealed, it made her feel even more disgusted and nauseated.

“Vera, why do you believe him?” Rodrigo gritted his teeth and said.

He did it, but why did Vera believe Xu Mo so much?

Why believe Xu Mo?

During this time, Rodrigo’s character made her glimpse something unusual, moreover, Xu Mo fabricated a memory scene to frame Rodrigo? And severely injured himself? Spending a lot of time to interact with her to expose him?

If Rodrigo didn’t do it, then what kind of grudge was it that would make Xu Mo do all this?

Moreover, the Mystic God Temple also believed Xu Mo, so Vera had no doubt at all.

Seeing Vera’s eyes, Rodrigo knew she was utterly convinced, his gaze was fixed on Xu Mo, filled with intense killing intent.

“Xu Mo, you meticulously set up to frame me, I must kill you,” Rodrigo spoke coldly, even at this moment, he still refused to admit, he couldn’t admit.

Xu Mo took a step forward, looking at Rodrigo, and said, “I’ll give you a chance.”

When he saw Rodrigo killing Wu Lai, Asaka, and Shava at that moment, he decided that not only did he want to kill Rodrigo, but he also wanted him to die disgraced and ruined.

Before returning, he wasn’t confident, but since the Hall Master told him he was the “first sequence” of the Mystic God Temple, Xu Mo realized things were much simpler, the Mystic God Temple would stand on his side, he only needed to provide the Mystic God Temple with a reason.

To kill Rodrigo, he couldn’t let any external forces help him.

Now, with the Mystic God Temple and Vera O’Brien both standing on his side, publicly revealing Rodrigo’s deeds, the overwhelming trend left no one who could save Rodrigo.

“You want to fight me?” Rodrigo looked at Xu Mo and suddenly laughed, a mocking laugh.

Xu Mo, borrowing the power of the Mystic God Temple, gaining the trust of Vera, indeed made him very passive.

But, wanting to kill him?

Xu Mo, fighting him?

He, Rodrigo, a top-tier Skywalker, ranked third on the Mystic God Ranking.

Xu Mo, what does he have to face a battle with him?

“Shed armor!”

Xu Mo looked at Rodrigo and spoke calmly, the words fell, and the ‘first sequence’ Battle Armor split open, the pitch-black Battle Armor floated in the air, and Xu Mo walked out from within.

Shed armor, decide life and death.

Rodrigo suddenly laughed, laughed wildly.

Then, he also shed his armor and stepped out from it.

“Seeking death.” Rodrigo’s suppressed emotions erupted fiercely, at this moment, the killing intent on his body was completely undisguised, his eyes carried madness and bloodlust.

Xu Mo looked at the maddened Rodrigo, the dark eyes wrote one word.

Kill!
