Urban Powerhouse: Chaos Supreme-Chapter 1545 - 1380: If You’re Not Convinced, Come Challenge Me

I don't know why, but when Qian Zhimo saw Lin Mo arrive, her tense mood suddenly eased a lot, with a faint sense of reassurance. She had witnessed Lin Mo kill Ge Chuan with her own eyes, and in her heart, Lin Mo was enough to be on par with geniuses like Duanmu Yin and Rong Xiaofeng in the Inner Sect.

Duanmu Jinglin, standing side by side with Qian Zhimo, saw Lin Mo, his pupils slightly contracting, and an extremely complex expression flickered in his eyes. He originally intended to defeat Lin Mo himself to prove that he should be the champion of the tournament.

But after witnessing Lin Mo's strength in the fierce battle with Ge Chuan, his pride suddenly felt shattered by someone, leaving him with a mix of unwillingness, shock, and fear occupying his chest.

"What's going on?"

Lin Mo glanced at the surrounding scene, noticing everyone had a listless appearance, and frowned as he asked.

Qian Zhimo replied, "Members of the Demon Clan have appeared in the Great Ruins, and some of our disciples are already in their hands."

"Members of the Demon Clan?" Lin Mo slightly furrowed his sword eyebrows. Could those Black Armor Guards be from the Demon Clan? Lin Mo had read some historical texts in the Mystic Realm Sect, indicating that the so-called 'Demon Clan' are not actual demons, but rather cultivators living in another domain, opposed to the Star Sky Alliance, often engaging in warfare to seize resources and assassinate each other's genius prospects to weaken opposing forces.

"Yes, even a teacher from Dayan Dynasty Academy at the Intermediate Star Lake Level died at their hands." Qian Zhimo nodded, spoke softly in a low voice, revealing a trace of fear on her beautiful face.

"Now we must find a way to survive and wait for reinforcements from the Academy and Mystic Realm Sect, only then might those Demon Clan members retreat." Suddenly, an elder with a withered wooden cane stood up and slowly spoke.

"Mr. Hu, this time the Demon Clan seems to be well prepared; it might be difficult for us to escape their pursuit." A middle-aged man with bushy eyebrows said with concern.

That elder was a teacher from the Dynasty Academy, with strength at the High-level Star Lake Level, considered the strongest among those who entered the ruins first.

And that middle-aged man, dressed in gray tight clothes with bushy eyebrows and big eyes, was a protector from the Five Sects named Zhang Jiang, with cultivation at the Intermediate Star Lake Level. "Someone must have disclosed the Great Ruins' space coordinates to the Demon Clan, or else the Canglan Star Domain doesn't border their territory, and they wouldn't have found this place. But there's still hope; they're unfamiliar with the Great Ruins, likely still active in the dangerous and safe zones." Elder Hu slowly stated: "They journeyed from such a distant place; firstly, to plunder treasures within the Great Ruins, and secondly, probably to assassinate our Dynasty Academy and Mystic Realm Sect's geniuses."

Upon hearing Elder Hu's words, several protectors from the Mystic Realm Sect and Academy teachers displayed concern.

A force's most vital aspect is new potential; those disciples able to enter the Great Ruins were chosen out of thousands, if lost, would severely injure the Academy's and Mystic Realm Sect's Primordial Energy.

"Based on their plan, they might keep advancing from the outer dangerous zone inward, but it's uncertain how many actually came. If we try to forcefully break through their encirclement, it's quite perilous," Elder Hu calmly analyzed.

"Our only survival chance to await reinforcements now is heading to the absolute danger zone!"

Saying this, Elder Hu raised his head, his small eyes gleaming with a brilliance that didn't match his age.

"Absolute danger zone, it's extremely perilous... even if we enter, it's bound to be fraught with danger!" Zhang Jiang furrowed his bushy eyebrows and remarked. "It's our only option now; while the absolute zone is dangerous, as long as we are cautious and do not seek treasures, it shouldn't be too dangerous. Moreover, if the Demon Clan enters the dangerous zone, they will also face risks, making it comparatively safer for us." Elder Hu solemnly stated.

"Alright, get ready to enter the absolute danger zone!" Zhang Jiang hesitated for a moment before loudly saying.

Among these people, Elder Hu and Zhang Jiang were relatively authoritative seniors; with their words, the others naturally wouldn't oppose, and given the current situation, disagreement wasn't an option. "I must stress, the absolute zone is called 'absolute' for its extreme peril. When we arrive, do not seek treasures; focus on surviving and wait for reinforcements." Zhang Jiang loudly reminded again, "Follow the original team divisions, enter the absolute zone in small groups to avoid being completely wiped out by the Demon Clan if discovered."

Soon, with everything organized, Zhang Jiang approached Lin Mo and others, frowned and asked, "Where has Ge Chuan gone?"

"Protector Ge Chuan is already dead..." Qian Zhimo pursed her thin lips, glanced at Lin Mo out of the corner of her eye, hesitant to speak further.

"He was killed by the Demon Clan too?" Zhang Jiang furrowed his brows again, not pursuing the matter further; the Great Ruins harbor inherent dangers, especially now with the Demon Clan invasion, a protector's death wasn't unexpected. "Alright, protectors from the Six Sects were also killed by the Demon Clan; among their ranks, there's likely a Star Sea Level expert. You and disciples from Six Sects will join me to form a small team, and without my command, you absolutely must not act rashly, understood?" Zhang Jiang's eyes gleamed like lightning as he swept across everyone's faces.

Lin Mo remained silent; even without the proposal to enter the absolute zone, he intended to head there on his own.

Eventually, Lin Mo, Qian Zhimo, Duanmu Jinglin, Zhang Jiang, and three geniuses from Six Sects formed a group, the largest in number.

The three geniuses from Six Sects were also two males and one female, of which one male and female were at the Early Stage Star Lake Level, and the third young man's cultivation was slightly higher, reaching the Star Lake Level Early Stage Peak, only a step away from the Intermediate Star Lake Level.

Within the Great Ruins, the zones were demarcated into safe, dangerous, absolute, and core areas, with the further ahead, the fewer Star Meteorites seen in the starry sky.

"Duanmu, is he the guy sharing the top spot with you at the tournament?"

Flying in the starry sky, a young man flying alongside Duanmu Jinglin glanced towards Lin Mo and remarked flatly.

Duanmu Jinglin glanced at him, replied, "Zhu Bo, our Seven Sects' matters have nothing to do with your Six Sects."

"Haha, a genius of the Duanmu Family settling for a shared first place?" Zhu Bo was stunned initially, then laughed heartily.

"Zhu Bo!" Duanmu Jinglin glared fiercely at the latter, clenched his fists, and suddenly smirked faintly: "If you're unwilling, you can challenge him." Upon hearing this, Zhu Bo was stunned again, looked at Duanmu Jinglin, chose not to speak further, and his gaze fell on Lin Mo's back, revealing a hint of confusion.
