Who would have thought that this guy, as a country's president, possessed such mental fortitude?
With such a state of mind, how could he still be president?
Lin Xiao shook his head and drove away, not wanting to cause further traffic congestion.
However, their car hadn't traveled far before both Lin Xiao and Dongfang Bai noticed something.
They were being followed.
The pursuers were not to be underestimated; their aura had been locked onto the two of them consistently.
Yet, for the time being, they showed no intention of making a move, seemingly content with just following and observing.
"It's probably the president's people," Lin Xiao said.
"I wonder if they are those two big shots."
A flicker of fighting spirit flashed in Dongfang Bai's eyes. He had a thought: since they were in Modu, he was eager to test the true power of a Divine Realm expert.
If he couldn't even defeat one-tenth of a Divine Realm master...
"Senior, please don't get any ideas," Lin Xiao quickly said upon seeing the trace of combativeness in Dongfang Bai's expression. "This is Dragon Country. If a real fight were to break out, it would likely harm innocent civilians."
"I know."
Dongfang Bai nodded. He was well aware that at their level, any leakage of power, however slight, could easily kill an ordinary person once they engaged in combat.
If he were to face the two who had summoned the gods, he wouldn't be able to hold back.
The pursuing aura continued to trail them, even after they had driven ten kilometers.
"Are you alright?" Lin Xiao then dialed Ying and Jin Er on their encrypted line.
"We're fine."
Ying's voice came through the phone; judging by her tone, she indeed seemed unharmed.
"Alright, I'll arrange for you to leave Modu, and Zhu Guangyu will deliver your mission rewards to you." Lin Xiao hung up the phone, simultaneously using Sky Eye to confirm that no one was watching the two women.
As long as it wasn't the Cardinal or the Goddess's representative who made a move, Lin Xiao wasn't particularly worried about these two.
Ying, after the call ended, was somewhat surprised. Rewards?
However, after their last mission was completed, the individual rewards they received were just over a hundred thousand. Would this time be any less than the last?
Lin Xiao and Dongfang Bai's car stopped outside the venue.
The event at this venue was scheduled for three days. According to the President's itinerary, he would visit here every day, meaning the Eight Array formation within the venue could not be dismantled during these days.
Above the dome of the venue, Zhuge Lan stood at the center, hands clasped behind his back, gazing up at the bright moon in the sky.
The moon was round and exceptionally luminous. His body seemed to be absorbing the essence of the moonlight.
As Lin Xiao, with his hidden pursuer behind him, entered this area, Zhuge Lan opened his eyes. A hint of surprise flickered across his face, which then quickly returned to his signature smile as he descended from the dome.
"Mr. Zhuge."
The two greeted him. However, Zhuge Lan's attention at this moment seemed to be elsewhere, not on them, but on a spot not far behind them.
"It is a pleasure to have friends from afar,"
Mr. Zhuge raised his hand.
In this autumn night, a gentle breeze would normally blow, making the air pleasant. But with Mr. Zhuge's raised hand, it was as if a gust of hurricane erupted, instantly enshrouding an area of a hundred meters behind Lin Xiao.
Then, a person from beyond the hundred-meter mark was "invited" over by this hurricane.
