'How did even the Storm Guild find out about this place?'
'Could it be that Ming Yuexin deliberately leaked the information to Storm, just to use this to test me?'
Seeing the Storm players boarding the island, Lin Mo frowned slightly.
In fact, the appearance of the Storm Guild also surprised Lin Miaomiao and the others, "Why are Storm's people here?"
"Do they also know Black Night is on this island? Are they here for him too?"
Ling Xue made a prompt decision, "Everyone, turn off your ID display."
It was night. If not for the bright white IDs above the Storm players' heads being too obvious, Ling Xue and the others might not have noticed them.
So as long as they hid their IDs, Storm would have a hard time discovering them. While the mantis stalks the cicada, there's an oriole behind.
At this moment, Lin Miaomiao asked, "Sister Ling, should we quietly follow them onto the island?"
"Don't act rashly for now," Ling Xue instructed, "Let's observe the situation first."
On the surface, the appearance of the Storm Guild seemed to have disrupted Ling Xue's original plan.
Her original plan was to bring Lin Mo onto the island, find Black Night, and invite him to join Divine Nation right in front of Lin Mo, to see how both Black Night and Lin Mo would react.
If Black Night refused, Ling Xue's next step was to have Lin Mo personally kill Black Night.
If Lin Mo couldn't bring himself to do it, then it would prove that he indeed had ulterior motives to secretly recruit Black Night.
But now, with the Storm Guild's involvement, Ling Xue suddenly came up with a better plan: watch the fire from across the shore.
'With Black Night alone, even if he's a hidden class user, there's no way he can withstand the Storm Guild's overwhelming numbers. Now it depends, when Black Night falls into trouble, Lin Mo, what choice will you make?'
Ling Xue glanced at Lin Mo unintentionally, calculating in her mind.
Lin Mo appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly he had already anticipated it, 'Looks like just as I thought. Whether Storm was called here by Ming Yuexin or not, this time she's definitely planning to use the Storm Guild to test me.'
'No surprises, once Black Night is in trouble, she'll watch whether I ask for help for him.'
'If I do, I'll fall right into her trap.'
Just as Lin Mo was thinking this, sure enough, Ling Xue began to set him up.
"Lin Mo, what do you think?"
"Black Night rejected my invitation last time. As the vice guild leader of Divine Nation, what do you think we should do this time to minimize losses?"
Without hesitation, Lin Mo went with the flow, "This is a good opportunity to test his true strength."
"Storm has already been wiped out twice before. Their strength has been reduced. If Black Night can't even handle enemies like this, then even if he joins Divine Nation, he won't be of much use."
Seeing that Lin Mo showed no sense of sympathy toward Black Night, Ling Xue felt reassured.
Lin Mo checked the time: 8:50
There were still ten minutes before the clone would finish incubating and be born.
He had planned to use the clone to connect with Black Night and settle this easily.
But the appearance of Storm and Divine Nation had indeed disrupted Lin Mo's plan.
Even though he said that just now, Lin Mo knew that Black Night alone definitely couldn't withstand so many Storm players.
And with Ming Yuexin watching him, he couldn't make a move himself.
So now, Lin Mo's only hope was, 'I hope you can sense the danger and leave Desire Island quickly.'
———
At the same time, on Desire Island—
Lu Ye, who had just dealt with that group of Storm players outside the city, rushed straight to Desire Island to meet [Mo] as agreed.
Seeing that the appointed time was about to arrive, under the moonlight, he suddenly saw a large number of rafts approaching the island from the sea ahead.
When he realized the incoming players were from the Storm Guild, Lu Ye's heart jolted, his brows tightly furrowed, 'Damn! I led Storm's main force here.'
The group Lu Ye had dealt with earlier was only a tracking squad.
What was chasing him now was the Storm Guild's thousand-man army.
Lu Ye knew that once they got onto the island, there was no way he could handle them alone.
Rafts were scattered all around the island, which meant there was more than one way to leave.
His first instinct was to withdraw and run to the back of the island, planning to leave from the other side before Storm's players landed, avoiding them altogether.
But on second thought, he stopped in his tracks.
'No! I can't leave.'
'I already agreed to meet Mo here at nine. If I leave, when Mo comes here, he'll be harmed by the Storm Guild I brought.'
So, Lu Ye immediately sent a message to [Mo], ["Something's changed. The island is dangerous. Don't come up."]
But after a long time, there was no reply.
Seeing the Storm army closing in from the sea ahead, without a response from Mo, Lu Ye held his position, not moving an inch.
Mo was the one who had paid five million, giving his daughter a second chance at life.
Even if it meant risking his own life, Lu Ye would never drag that man into danger.
"Mo didn't see the message. Maybe he's already approaching the island from another direction."
"He doesn't know the danger here."
"I have to hold this place."
Under the moonlight, watching the Storm Guild army steadily approaching, beneath the heavy metal armor, Lu Ye's gaze was sharp and resolute, "I have to deal with them."
In reality, Lin Mo had received Black Night's message.
But he couldn't reply.
Because Ling Xue was right beside him.
Although it looked like her attention was focused on Desire Island ahead, in truth, every move Lin Mo made was under her watch.
He had come this far, reached the point of creating the clone.
The slightest mistake could ruin everything.
'Leave!', Lin Mo could only shout silently in his heart to Lu Ye.
Unfortunately, Lu Ye couldn't hear Lin Mo's thoughts.
Nor did he receive a reply from Mo.
He resolutely held his ground on the island, until all the Storm Guild players had landed.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Nearly a thousand Storm players, the moment they landed, surrounded Lu Ye with weapons drawn, aggressive and imposing.
The leader, Tyrant, however, hypocritically shouted to his subordinates, "Show some respect to our friend."
Then, Tyrant smiled at Lu Ye, "Brother, everything before was just a misunderstanding."
"Let's wipe the slate clean."
"I'm willing to pay two hundred thousand to help your daughter I can transfer the money in advance this time. As long as you're willing to help me deal with one person. What do you say?"
Lu Ye sat cross-legged on the sand.
The Shadow greatsword planted in the ground before him emitted a chilling, cold gleam.
"No need."
"Someone has already saved my daughter."
"From now on, except for that person, I won't work for anyone else."
