Chapter 1818: Chapter 1656: We Are Brothers
True Yang Venerable looked ashen-faced, standing dazedly in place. If only he’d known that this would happen, he should have killed Lin Mo.
"Brothers, we meet again." Lin Mo looked at the two elders before him and laughed heartily, revealing genuine emotions.
In the place of inheritance on Hive Star, these two had taken great care of him. At that time, Lin Mo had guessed that their identities were not ordinary, but didn’t expect them to be Realm Lords of the Dark Demon Sea.
Rumor has it that the Star Sky Alliance dispatched two Realm Kings to guard the Dark Demon Sea. If the Demon Clan launched a large-scale assassination or infiltrated the Dark Demon Sea with world-level experts, these two Realm Kings would stand out to protect the geniuses and order within the Dark Demon Sea.
If the Demon Clan sent over world-level experts, even the most monster-like geniuses would likely be killed.
Since the Dark Demon Sea is an important place for the Star Sky Alliance to nurture fresh blood, the rampant slaughter of geniuses from the Ten Thousand Domains by the Demon Clan is intolerable.
"Haha, Fourteen, I told you we’d meet again," laughed the gray-robed elder, who was Shisan.
"Fourteen, what brings you here?" asked the black-robed elder, who was Shi’er.
Lin Mo smiled wryly, "It’s a long story, a long story indeed."
True Yang Venerable stood stunned to the side, eyes bulging wide, nearly popping out of their sockets. These... these two Realm Kings and Lin Mo are brothers?
A Star System Level Early Stage guy actually became brothers with two Realm Kings?
If this news spreads, it would surely shake the entire Dark Demon Sea."
"Brothers?" True Yang Venerable stammered looking at Lin Mo, "You are brothers with the two Realm Kings?"
"We are brothers," Lin Mo laughed freely.
"Come, let’s have a drink and chat," laughed Shisan, casting a glance at True Yang. "Don’t even think about running away; you know no matter where you flee, death awaits you."
"I know, I know, Realm Lords, walk slowly," True Yang Venerable said like a child, nodding repeatedly.
Running away means certain death.
Being escorted back to the Star Sky Alliance likely means severe punishment, but there’s also a slim chance of survival. At worst, he’d be dispatched to the War Star Domain; there’s always a slim chance!
...
An elegant courtyard.
"Brothers, let’s drink. If it weren’t for your timely appearance, I’d probably be stuck here," Lin Mo smiled as he poured wine for his two brothers. These two held eminent positions, world king-level experts, dispatched by the Star Sky Alliance to manage the Dark Demon Sea, indicating their high rank within the alliance.
"Fourteen, true, True Yang dare not kill you. You caused such a commotion on Sky City Continent. If he dared to touch you, I’d kill him immediately," chuckled Shisan.
Twelve drank a cup of wine, "Fourteen, given your skills, even if you encountered demon clan assassins, it wouldn’t be easy for them to kill you."
"Brothers, you’re too kind," Lin Mo smiled gently, sipping his wine.
The days of cultivation are often lonely. Having spent three years with these two brothers and benefited from their favors, Lin Mo has always remembered them in his heart, never forgetting. Reuniting with them truly brings joy to him, as he considers them his own brothers.
"Jiang Ru, pour wine," Lin Mo called.
Standing beside Jiang Ru, she immediately lifted a wine jug and filled their glasses.
She was also stunned. These two Realm Lords were the top experts of the Dark Demon Sea and held extremely high positions within the Star Sky Alliance, yet they were brothers with Lin Mo!
Even True Yang Venerable was detained.
"Fourteen, you must not share our relationship with anyone," Shi’er said seriously.
"I understand, two brothers are envoys within the Dark Demon Sea. If our relationship is revealed, it might arouse suspicion in the Star Sky Alliance, and other geniuses would secretly discuss the unfairness of you both," Lin Mo understood, raising his glass to clink with theirs.
Shisan added, "This time, the two of us are bringing True Yang back to the Star Sky Alliance, handing him to the Elder Council for dealing, and we won’t stay long here. Soon we’ll leave."
Lin Mo nodded, asking, "True Yang colluded with the demon clan; how will the Star Sky Alliance punish him?"
"Hard to say," Twelve shook his head. "Nurturing a strong cultivator is difficult. True Yang, though eccentric, has made mistakes but previously was not killed, only detained to guard the Sun and Moon Divine Tree. Originally, the guard period was ten thousand years, with only a century remaining for his term. But unexpectedly, he dared collaborate with the demon clan. This counts as a serious crime."
"He should be killed," Lin Mo immediately said.
"Nurturing a strong cultivator is difficult; killing him likely won’t happen. He hasn’t committed irredeemable atrocities, but he might be dispatched to the War Star Domain to redeem himself," stated Shisan.
"War Star Domain?" Lin Mo asked curiously.
"The War Star Domain is the battlefield between humans and the demon clan. Every day, a significant number of cultivators die there. It’s perilous, but some go there to train, and those who have made mistakes are also dispatched there to earn military merits, providing a chance to emerge. But it’s extremely perilous, survival is uncertain," Twelve shook his head, his expression changing slightly.
Lin Mo said nothing, observing their expressions. It seemed both had experienced training at the War Star Domain, and it was indeed dangerous, judging by their expressions.
"Drink, drink," Lin Mo smiled.
The three gathered together and shared much about the Star Sky Alliance and its selection process with Lin Mo.
"By the way, with True Yang gone, the Venerable position is vacant and needs someone to oversee it. Otherwise, those star domain geniuses might come in directly to pluck tree leaves," Shi’er said, setting down his wine glass with a smile at Lin Mo, "Fourteen, I see you’re suitable to stay as a Venerable."
"Me, as a Venerable here?" Lin Mo asked in surprise.
"Exactly, the Dark Demon Sea’s Twelve Venerables oversee twelve Sun and Moon Divine Trees. The young ones who come here to train can only pass the test by obtaining a leaf from the Sun and Moon Divine Tree," explained Shisan. "You’ve already come here, and leaving would be unfair since you know everything. Just stay as a Venerable until the trial ends. With your talent, you could easily join our Star Sky Alliance."
"Indeed, Shisan is right this time; you must stay," Twelve laughed heartily.
Venerable!
Lin Mo was taken aback. He realized they weren’t joking with him, and that he had to remain here temporarily handling Venerable duties until the trial concluded before he could leave.
Lin Mo frowned, "Brothers, asking me to be Venerable sounds like imprisonment. Furthermore, it’s not like coming here was my choice; I was captured and brought."
Twelve and Shisan exchanged glances; this kid was grumbling about receiving no benefits.
"Rest assured, brothers won’t treat you unfairly," Twelve shook his head, "Wherever you go, you think of scraping a layer, but it’s understandable. If you were training outside, you’d discover some inheritances and have harvests. Staying here does cost you."
Wonderful, continued tomorrow.
