Chapter 869: So Famous
Hong Lei cursed inwardly; having now betrayed Hongmen, he originally had no intention of returning, but now he had no choice but to accompany Lin Mo to Rashaman Island.
At this speed, they should be able to reach the Pacific Coastline within a day.
The Western Dark World was plunged into shock, yet they were unaware that Lin Mo intended to trouble Hongmen.
Rashaman Island.
Surrounded by azure sea, with sunny skies and white clouds, seaweed and reefs grew around the island, making it impossible even for battleships to approach.
The island was filled with various constructions, and occasionally a shadow flickered across the sky.
In the center of the island, within a semicircular metal headquarters.
"Sect Leader, according to our intel, Hong..." reported a Hongmen subordinate, entering headquarters and kneeling on one knee.
In front of him stood three people, among whom one man and one woman were relatively young, and another man, about fifty years old, stood in the middle, exuding an aura of authority and possessing a gaze like a tiger, instilling a powerful sense of oppression.
"So Hong Lei has indeed betrayed us," another young man sneered coldly.
This young man sported a crew cut, wore a black vest and long army pants, resembling a finely sharpened treasure sword, ready to pierce the firmament.
"Did Second Senior Brother really betray Master?" Another young woman asked in mild surprise, "Second Senior Brother is also a master of Emperor Extreme, how could he?"
The young woman had short hair and average looks, but her entire being exuded an air of sharpness, akin to a thorny flower, making people hesitant to approach.
"He never respected Master, so his betrayal of Hongmen is hardly surprising," the young man Hong Yi scoffed derisively.
The young woman Hong Duo shook her head, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.
"Enough, stop arguing, you may go now," the middle-aged man seated in the center commanded in a deep voice.
"Yes, Sect Leader," the kneeling subordinate immediately backed away.
The middle-aged man was none other than Hongmen's current Sect Leader, Hong Zhangtian, a legendary figure wielding immense power, and a super strongman himself.
"I am well aware of Hong Lei's abilities. For someone to make him betray me indicates the enemy is not weak, probably has Emperor Extreme peak strength," Hong Zhangtian said, frowning slightly.
Hong Yi and Hong Duo were taken aback.
According to the intel viewed on the Dark Web and gathered by Hongmen's intelligence system, the opponent was a Huaxia person, seemingly only around twenty years old, considered a young age among the martial arts world.
It should be known that after cultivating to Emperor Extreme and Divine Force, one's lifespan can significantly increase, even reaching over five hundred years after attaining Divine Force.
If this individual at the age of twenty reaches Emperor Extreme, the future would be terrifying, and stepping into Divine Force would only be a matter of time.
"Master, according to my investigation, he killed the Vice President Adolf of the Superpower Alliance and even fought with the President of the Alliance, severely injuring him. It's impossible for him to still be that formidable," Hong Yi clenched his fists and said.
Hong Zhangtian nodded, "The opponent is indeed a monster, and it seems they aim to come for our Hongmen. If this person is not eliminated, they will surely become a major future threat."
Having said that, Hong Zhangtian's thick eyebrows furrowed, and a powerful suppression emanated from him—a suppression that only Hong Yi and Hong Duo, being frequently by his side and not lacking in strength, could withstand.
"But he underestimates us too much. If he dares to come, he's courting death," Hong Zhangtian spat coldly.
"Master, let me go slay him, and simultaneously eliminate the traitor Hong Lei," Hong Yi moved to in front of Hong Zhangtian, kneeling down on one knee.
"Master, I will go with Senior Brother," Hong Duo also stepped forward. Hong Zhangtian nodded, "Alright."
"However, the opponent's strength is formidable, and both of you are my direct disciples, and I know your capabilities well. Take these two items with you," Hong Zhangtian spoke, opening his palm.
In the void, two faint black glows appeared, swiftly forming into two vest-like items, woven seemingly from vines, with a smooth surface, exuding a faint brilliant luster.
"This is soft armor woven from Blood Entangled Vine, inscribed with runes, possessing strong defensive capabilities," Hong Zhangtian stated calmly.
"Thank you, Master."
Hong Yi and Hong Duo's faces lit up with joy.
With that, the softly glowing red armors automatically flew onto their bodies, melding into them with just a flash of light, like a second skin, without any sensation.
Leaving Hongmen headquarters.
"Senior Brother, can we defeat that person?" Hong Duo asked with some doubt.
"The opponent has undergone so many battles; even if formidable, he should either be exhausted or injured at this point. Now is the time to strike him while he's down," Hong Yi squinted slightly, eyes gleaming sharply.
"Mm, Senior Brother makes sense," Hong Duo nodded, eyes carrying a hint of admiration.
Hong Yi was a genius in martial arts, reaching Grandmaster status at eighteen, subsequently breaking through ranks rapidly, now at thirty having reached the Middle Stage Emperor Extreme, holding great hopes for advancing to Divine Force in the future.
In the entire Hongmen headquarters, aside from the Sect Leader, even other elders had to show some respect to Hong Yi.
"If we manage to kill Lin Mo this time, my position in Hongmen will become even more stable. Plus, doesn't Hong Lei always compete with me for the position of Sect Leader? This time, I'll settle it with him too," Hong Yi thought to himself, lifting his sword-drawn brow.
"Junior Sister, let's go," Hong Yi nodded firmly, stamping his foot vigorously on the ground, soaring into the sky like a high-flying cannon.
Hong Duo nodded, her white True Yuan swirling like wind around her, instantly ascending into the sky.
Martial artists within Hongmen headquarters lifted their heads, watching the two ascend into the sky, their eyes filled with unconcealed admiration.
In the entire Hongmen, aside from the Sect Leader, Senior Brother and Senior Sister were both martial arts masters capable of flying across the void.
"Senior Brother and Senior Sister leaving the headquarters together, where are they going?"
A disciple, oblivious of the situation, queried.
"Don't you know? I've heard Second Senior Brother betrayed Hongmen and is with someone named Lin Mo. This time Senior Brother and Senior Sister went out, surely to kill Second Senior Brother and that person."
"Second Senior Brother betrayed Hongmen?"
Upon hearing, many displayed expressions of shock.
"Who is this Lin Mo?"
"You don't know now? The most famous person on the Dark Web, you haven't heard?"
"Number one on the dangerous individuals list, even the Vice President Adolf of the Superpower Alliance died by his hands."
Sounds of gasping resounded repeatedly, as today is the age of internet information dissemination, with news traveling at speeds comparable to light.
Unbelievably, Lin Mo, now so famous on the Dark Web!
