The Seventh Base

Chapter 1125: Chapter 171: The Outcome of Disciplinary Action

The Taros Temple Master was quite frustrated; he should have anticipated Zero’s power long ago. After all, he had seen the initial test data, which was not much different from Xu Mo’s, and during the Ten Temple Alliance, her Combat Power was just below Xu Mo’s.

Since Xu Mo became strong after joining the Skywalkers, how could Zero be any weaker?

It’s just that at the time, Xu Mo was listed by the Mystic God in the first order, so all attention was on Xu Mo, and he ended up forgetting about this girl.

This girl is good though; she reminded him in a rather special way by directly trying to dismantle the Mystic God Temple.

The key is, just as he was about to reprimand her, he saw her glaring coldly at him.

How dare he speak?

This Temple Master really has no dignity left, sigh…

Forget it, considering they’ve produced two first-order individuals in Chloe’s Mystic God Temple, he might as well relinquish his pride even if he’s magnanimous.

Zero heard the Taros Temple Master’s words and looked at him, thinking this Temple Master seemed a bit foolish?

What kind of look is this? Rather annoying.

“I don’t know.” Zero responded lightly. She’s not unreasonable, but considering Xu Mo was almost killed by Gao Mu, no matter what she does, she doesn’t think it’s excessive. She’s just frustrated that she missed the chance to kill Gao Mu.

He’s quite skilled.

As for whether she can restrain herself next time she sees Gao Mu, she truly doesn’t know.

“???” The Taros Temple Master blinked at Zero.

He’s already given up his authority, can’t this girl give him some face?

Beside him, Xu Mo blinked; he could see it clearly now. The Taros Temple Master seemed hesitant to speak harshly to Zero?

Xu Mo immediately understood the reason and chuckled inwardly. Even though the battle between Zero and Gao Mu broke the Mystic God Temple’s rules, by those rules, expelling them from the Mystic God Temple wouldn’t be excessive.

But this fight also established their status.

Just having broken through as a Skywalker and attempting to kill Gao Mu, ranked eighteenth in the Mystic God Temple, who else can do that?

With such talent, would the Taros Temple Master be willing to expel Zero from the Mystic God Temple? It’s likely that even if Zero wanted to leave, he’d try to hold her back.

Nevertheless, it’s worth reminding Zero to be a bit more low-key. The fight this time was somewhat loud, and it might make someone suspicious, especially since the Empire Trial Field is off-limits.

Of course, Xu Mo wasn’t too worried. They had already left the Empire Trial Field; he’s severed ties with the past events and has no connection to Zero, making it hard to link her back to him.

As for Zero’s Combat Power, the Ten Temple Alliance has already proven Zero is stronger than him.

If he could fight Gao Mu, what’s the issue with Zero defeating an already injured Gao Mu?

This point can be verified.

“Xu Mo.” At this moment, the Taros Temple Master called.

“I’m here.” Xu Mo responded.

The Taros Temple Master walked over to a corner and said to Xu Mo, “Come here for a moment.”

“Yes, Temple Master.” Xu Mo followed, listening as the Taros Temple Master said to him, “Xu Mo, your girlfriend, you better manage well, don’t mess around; the Mystic God Temple cannot break its rules.”

He could see clearly; asking Zero himself would be pointless, so the only option was for Xu Mo to manage his girlfriend.

“Rest assured, Temple Master, Zero acted impulsively. I’ll talk to her.” Xu Mo said, seeing the Taros Temple Master has done it, he’s been gracious.

Xu Mo wouldn’t take advantage of favoritism, thinking the Taros Temple Master urged them on; truth be told, regardless of their extraordinary talent, what’s it got to do with the Taros Temple Master?

Taros Temple Master appreciates and values their talent, which Xu Mo understands.

“Mm.” Taros Temple Master patted Xu Mo’s shoulder, saying earnestly, “You’re not having it easy either.”

“???”

Xu Mo looked at Taros Temple Master, wondering what he meant?

“Go on, if you can’t manage, just work harder at your Cultivation.” Taros Temple Master ‘comforted’.

Xu Mo: “……”

His family status is still intact.

After Xu Mo and Zero left, Taros Temple Master glanced at Cleo.

Only to see Elder Cleo weakly hiding in a corner, back turned, pretending to know nothing, minimizing his presence.

“Stop pretending.” Taros Temple Master said.

Elder Cleo trembled with a smile, turning to face Taros Temple Master, “Temple Master, how do you think this matter should be handled appropriately?”

The earlier conversation made it evident that Taros Temple Master couldn’t handle Zero.

So, how should this be dealt with?

Zero’s direct dismantling of the Mystic God Temple and almost killing Gao Mu in public needs to be addressed externally.

“Just say the last battle made Zero a bit impulsive; she’s realized the seriousness of the matter. Also, the Mystic God Temple’s structure proved faulty during the battle and needs fortification.” Taros Temple Master said.

“This…” Elder Cleo widened his eyes at Taros Temple Master.

Realized the seriousness? So, is this considered punishment?

But Zero seems not to understand!

As for dismantling the Mystic God Temple, well, that’s all about unstable structures.

“What if someone objects?” Elder Cleo timidly asked, wondering what Gao Mu would think if the matter was handled this way.

“Objections? What objections?” Taros Temple Master said, “If anyone has objections, let them spar with that girl; if they win, they can dismantle the Mystic God Temple as they please.”

Taros spat, cursing as he sat down, “No capability, yet dare have objections?”

“Understood.” Elder Cleo didn’t dare say more, slinking away sheepishly.

When leaving, Xu Mo wiped his sweat; from now on, he and Zero could walk unchecked in the Mystic God Temple on Chloe Star. Who would dare provoke them?

As for what Taros Temple Master said, he naturally had no objections.

This world has never been fair; the Mystic God Temple aims to cultivate the strongest Transcendent. The stronger you are, the more resources and privileges you obtain, which in itself is unfair.

If it were truly fair, could everyone enter the Mystic God Temple and enjoy its resources?

On the other side, Xu Mo and Zero were walking on the road.

“Zero, don’t be so impulsive in the future. It’s not easy for the Taros Temple Master either,” Xu Mo said.

Zero didn’t respond, but the look in her eyes clearly showed she was not convinced.

“Zero, although you displayed your strength in the Mystic God Temple before, if you frequently reveal your Extraordinary Ability in the future, the matter of the Revelation Book risks being exposed. Gao Mu is not urgent; he’s not the mastermind.” Xu Mo communicated through spiritual power to Zero. Only then did Zero take it seriously, nodding lightly, “Got it.”

Xu Mo smiled, reached out, and ruffled Zero’s silver hair, “Silly.”

However, he felt especially warm inside, the female devil would dare to do anything for him, and she didn’t care.

If Gao Mu really killed him, Xu Mo had no doubt Zero would spare no effort to kill Gao Mu.

“You’re the silly one,” Zero glared at Xu Mo.

……

At this moment, Gao Mu returned to the medical room for treatment.

And the people of the Mystic God Temple were all waiting for the outcome of this matter.

The nature of this conflict was different from last time. Last time, Xu Mo openly challenged Gao Mu, leading to an out-of-control battle in the Skywalker Battlefield. It could be argued they lost control.

However, this time, Zero intercepted Gao Mu mid-way and directly intended to kill.

The Mystic God Temple’s built area collapsed and was destroyed. The alarm sounded, leading people to mistakenly think it was an enemy attack, which was extremely serious. No matter the punishment, it wasn’t excessive.

Yet, for some reason, most Transcendents in the Mystic God Temple didn’t want Zero to receive heavy punishment.

Xu Mo and Zero themselves carried a touch of legendary aura in the Mystic God Temple on Chloe Star, and it happened around them—a visible legend.

Plus, the justice in appearance, Zero’s looks were as striking as her skills.

At this time, everyone in the Mystic God Temple was heading in one direction.

The Mystic God Temple announced the result of the punishment, attracting immense attention.

Many were stunned when they saw the announcement, then they showed strange expressions.

But soon, many displayed relaxed looks.

“Alright, we can disperse now.” Someone said with a smile, although they didn’t wish Zero to be heavily punished, they didn’t expect the Mystic God Temple wouldn’t intend to punish at all.

“Isn’t this too fake?” Someone muttered, “Understanding the severity of the situation?”

“Who issued this announcement? He didn’t even bother to say Zero understands her mistake…”

“You don’t get it, do you? Clearly, Zero doesn’t quite understand.”

“The Mystic God Temple buildings have been in disrepair and need maintenance, who thought of this genius excuse?” Someone couldn’t help but criticize.

“Though aware the Mystic God Temple wouldn’t overly punish Zero, doing it so carelessly disregards the Temple’s rules. What happens if others imitate?” Another spoke coldly, clearly not everyone supported Xu Mo and Zero.

“Imitate? Go try imitating; are you going to faceoff against someone near the top of the Mystic God Ranking after breaking through as a Skywalker?” a person retorted sarcastically.

Could anyone just qualify to imitate?

If someone truly achieved the same thing, the Mystic God Temple would likely handle it the same way.

Rules are meant to bind ordinary people.

“What will Gao Mu’s reaction be upon knowing the punishment result?” someone said, and immediately people around showed strange expressions.

Gao Mu was in bad shape; his spiritual power had been injured twice, especially this time, wounded upon wounds. His spiritual power was extremely weak, his Spiritual Will frail after burning twice.

Just then, upon learning the announcement from the Mystic God Temple like a strong stimulus, Gao Mu directly fainted.

Understanding the severity of the matter, buildings not too solid.

This severe event, paired with the Mystic God Temple’s announcement of the processing result, seems, just like that, to be settled.

Zero received no punishment at all.

……

Right after the event occurred.

On Chloe Star, in a building, a dim underground space that resembled an experimental base with numerous instruments.

In a dark room, a black-clad figure stood in front of a screen, looking at a screen with a face on it, next to which recorded all his information.

This face was clearly Xu Mo’s.

Then, the image moved, showing another photo beside Xu Mo, Zero.

At this moment, someone walked in from outside, carrying a piece of information, and said, “Only those bits of information are available; more cannot be found. Their origins are unknown; can’t trace which planet they’re from unless we start with the people around them.”

The person operating the screen manipulated it, and immediately below Xu Mo appeared a relationship map showing data on Ye Qingdie, Lan Qing, Hans, and others.

“Among these people, only Lan Qing has a clear origin; the identities of the rest are unknown. They’re not natives of Chloe Star; they should be from a remote star, but we can’t find anything in the database.”

“Has the situation regarding the Mystic God Temple been confirmed?” the leading person asked.

“Yes.” Someone nodded, “The message from the Mystic God Temple indicates that Gao Mu’s memory has likely been invaded. Xu Mo is most likely already aware of the ‘Black God’ plan.”

“Have the Mystic God Temple keep a close watch.” The leading person stared at Xu Mo’s portrait, which now had a cross on it, and with icy eyes, he said, “Eliminate Xu Mo, raise the mission level, S-Class.”

Previously, they indeed had no intention to kill Xu Mo, only targeting the Blue Star Technology Group.

However, now Xu Mo officially became their assassination target.
