Глава 652. Чаша весов

Поначалу клан Тан не придавал особого значения Сюй Мо, считая его просто одним из талантливых сверхлюдей храма Ао. Хотя такие таланты и встречались нечасто, каждый год появлялись новые, и в глазах могущественного финансового конгломерата это не представляло особой ценности. Когда сверхлюди из храма Ао устраивали конфликты за его пределами, храм обычно не вмешивался, если только дело не принимало слишком серьёзный оборот, например, не происходило убийств. Именно поэтому клан Тан относился к Сюй Мо столь пренебрежительно.

Однако ситуация начала постепенно выходить из-под контроля. Узнав о достижениях Сюй Мо после трёх лет внешней практики, клан Тан осознал всю серьёзность положения. Тан Мин попытался надавить на храм, заявив, что у клана тоже есть сверхлюди, практикующие там, но одна фраза Крио повергла его в ступор — его клану приказали забрать своих людей. Более того, отныне и клану Тан, и всем его партнёрам был запрещён вход в храм Ао!

То, что люди клана Тан не смогут практиковать в храме Ао, было ещё полбеды. Но когда эта новость разойдётся, как будут смотреть на клан жители планеты Клои? Они не просто настроили против себя храм Ао — теперь даже их партнёры лишились возможности практиковать там, что перекрыло путь к становлению великими практикующими. Это неизбежно должно было привести к серьёзным последствиям: прямому ослаблению влияния клана Тан, а при малейшей неосторожности — даже к его полному упадку.

Но куда важнее был скрытый смысл в словах Крио. Будучи всего лишь старейшиной храма Ао на планете Клои, он не имел таких полномочий. Однако человек его положения не мог действовать безрассудно — если он осмелился произнести такие слова, не имея формальных прав, значит, получил эти полномочия из другого источника. Это косвенно указывало на то, что значимость Сюй Мо для храма Ао, возможно, превосходила все мыслимые ожидания.

— Старейшина Крио, к чему такие крайности? — произнёс Тан Мин тихим, примирительным тоном. — Это была наша оплошность, мы компенсируем ущерб Сюй Мо.

Если действительно отрезать путь совершенствования в храме Ао для клана Тан и его партнёров, последствия было невозможно предсказать. Очевидно, что расплата несоизмерима с преследованием какого-то там клана Синяя Звезда — столь тяжёлая цена явно того не стоила. Они занялись этим кланом просто попутно, кто же мог подумать, что это приведёт к таким последствиям? Иначе они бы никогда не поручили это дело Танни.

— Не потянете, — холодно произнёс Сюй Мо. — Компенсация? Раньше у клана Тан был совсем другой настрой. Вы хотели поглотить клан Синяя Звезда — как же не нанести серьёзного урона?

Старейшина Крио с мрачным лицом повернулся в другую сторону:

— Господин Слейк, это происшествие касается истинного ученика нашего храма Ао, которого едва не убили на глазах у всех. Я надеюсь, что власти планеты Клои рассмотрят это дело со всей строгостью, без какого-либо вмешательства, и накажут всех участников инцидента. Храм Ао будет следить за ходом дела.

Хотя храм Ао как организация совершенствования не собирался напрямую вмешиваться, оставляя наказание и вынесение приговора властям, его влияние было огромным. Под их надзором никто из людей клана Тан, участвовавших сегодня, не сможет ускользнуть от правосудия.

— Старейшина Крио может быть спокоен, — ответил Слейк. — Сюй Мо не только практикующий храма Ао, но и герой Республики, лично награждённый лидером медалью героя. Губернатор лично заинтересовался этим делом и распорядился рассмотреть его со всей строгостью. — Он посмотрел вниз и добавил: — Всех участников задержать. Сопротивление будет расценено как предательство Республики.

Лица людей клана Тан, участвовавших в нападении на Сюй Мо, побледнели один за другим. Они осознали, что власти настроены более чем серьёзно и будут судить их по всей строгости закона. Их взгляды в отчаянии обратились к Тан Мину. Клан Тан как ведущий финансовый конгломерат никогда не сталкивался с подобной ситуацией — на этот раз только из-за того, что они тронули одного талантливого сверхчеловека, храм Ао и власти одновременно обрушились на них, не оказав ни малейшего снисхождения. Несмотря на всё влияние клана Тан, противники действовали с такой решительностью — это ярко демонстрировало, насколько важен для них Сюй Мо.

Тан Мин сейчас чувствовал себя совершенно беспомощным. Пусть клан Тан и был ведущим конгломератом, но что они могли противопоставить совместным действиям властей и храма Ао? Оставалось только искать обходные пути, но слова старейшины Крио о том, что храм Ао будет следить за вынесением приговора, означали, что они хотят отрезать все пути к отступлению, не позволив использовать связи.

«Совсем с ума сошли», — пронеслось в его голове.

— Всех задержать, — скомандовал капитан Слейк. Прибыло множество представителей власти — получив информацию, губернатор лично заинтересовался делом и отдал приказ, поэтому по пути они вызвали существенное подкрепление.

В клане Тан началось волнение. Несколько полностью вооружённых силуэтов спустились рядом с Танни и схватили его, отчего его лицо исказилось от ярости и унижения. Поначалу он совсем не воспринимал Сюй Мо всерьёз, считая, что даже вступление в храм Ао ничего не значит, и вес одного талантливого сверхчеловека недостаточен для сравнения с ним. Но теперь уже не он проводил сравнение — храм Ао показал, что вес всего клана Тан для них ничтожен.

— Мы возвращаемся, — сказал старейшина Крио, обращаясь к Сюй Мо.

— Хорошо, — кивнул тот, поднявшись в воздух вместе со старейшиной.

— Благодарю вас, старейшина Крио, — произнёс Сюй Мо. Кто такой Крио? Как старейшина храма Ао, он прекрасно понимал намерение Сюй Мо использовать их влияние. Чтобы выбраться из клана Тан, Сюй Мо достаточно было просто показать медаль героя Республики Обрайен — никто не посмел бы его тронуть. Тем не менее, старейшина Крио полностью поддержал его, даже наказав клан Тан и его партнёров. Это была демонстрация силы, фактическая помощь, и Сюй Мо, конечно, был глубоко признателен. К тому же, этот инцидент позволил ему примерно оценить своё положение в храме Ао.

«Очень приятно», — подумал он.

Владыка храма Талос действительно был верен дружбе — старейшина Крио, несомненно, получил от него разрешение на столь жёсткие меры против клана Тан.

— Ты вернёшься со мной в храм Ао или у тебя есть свои дела? — спросил старейшина Крио. Он всё понимал: многие вещи не нужно было произносить вслух, достаточно было осознавать их значение. Причина, по которой они раздули дело и наказали клан Тан, тоже была позицией храма Ао — не трогать Сюй Мо. Это было предупреждение, ведь что если в будущем кто-то действительно осмелится убить его? Сегодняшний инцидент должен был предотвратить подобные случаи — по крайней мере на планете Клои никто не осмелится покушаться на его жизнь, если только не захочет умереть.

— Я пришёл с друзьями, и действительно есть ещё некоторые дела, которые нужно уладить. Спасибо старейшинам и всем за беспокойство, — поблагодарил Сюй Мо людей из храма Ао.

— Хорошо, тогда мы возвращаемся, — кивнул старейшина Крио, после чего поднялся на звездолёт храма Ао. Сюй Мо проводил их взглядом, затем воссоединился с Е Цинде и остальными и покинул это место.

После этого происшествия в душе Хоки Урланоса бушевала буря. Раньше он уже слышал от Айрин некоторые сведения о Сюй Мо, но теперь стало ясно, что информация, полученная ею, всё ещё была неполной. Вес Сюй Мо в храме Ао превосходил все ожидания — ради него без колебаний наказали целый клан Тан.

— Господин Хоки, насколько мне известно, люди, собиравшиеся разобраться с кланом Синяя Звезда — это военные силы, стоящие за кланом Тан, — произнёс Сюй Мо, когда они поднялись на звездолёт и расположились в комнате отдыха. — Теперь, когда мы порвали отношения с кланом Тан, как будут развиваться события?

Услышав эти слова, мысли в голове Хоки Урланоса завертелись с бешеной скоростью. В словах Сюй Мо было скрыто много информации. Во-первых, он уже знал правду о ситуации — Танни был всего лишь мелкой сошкой, а те, кто хотел разобраться с кланом Синяя Звезда, оказались военными силами, стремившимися прибрать их к рукам через клан Тан. Во-вторых, Сюй Мо, видимо, узнав эту информацию, намеренно раздул скандал, понимая, что пути назад нет, и поэтому пошёл на разрыв, использовав влияние храма Ао, чтобы нанести клану Тан сокрушительный удар.

Тогда следующий вопрос — как будут развиваться события дальше?

Хоки Урланос долго размышлял, нахмурив брови, и через некоторое время сказал:

— В этот раз клану Тан не оставили путей к отступлению. Слова старейшины Крио означают полный разрыв, но это также означает, что мы окончательно разозлили их. Клан Тан уже получил самое суровое наказание от храма Ао, строже быть не может. В такой ситуации они, наоборот, станут действовать без оглядки. Сначала они попытаются связаться с храмом Ао и властями, посмотреть, можно ли ещё всё изменить, чтобы обе стороны отступили, но если поймут, что это невозможно, то продолжат атаковать клан Синяя Звезда, возможно, даже задействовав больше ресурсов.

Клан Тан не тронет Сюй Мо, но это не значит, что они не могут тронуть клан Синяя Звезда. Пока они не нарушают закон, храм Ао ничего не сможет сделать — в Республике все должны соблюдать правила, и в этот раз клан Тан попал под удар именно потому, что Сюй Мо умело использовал эти правила.

Сюй Мо обдумал его слова и решил, что анализ, вероятно, верен. Когда их загнали в угол такими санкциями, ведущий конгломерат вроде клана Тан непременно нанесёт ответный удар.

— Конечно, в этом деле есть ещё одна переменная — позиция военных, — добавил Хоки Урланос. — Ты раньше говорил, что за этим делом на самом деле стоят военные, желающие подмять под себя клан Синяя Звезда. Если военные прикажут клану Тан отступить, то, возможно, на этом всё и закончится, клан Тан признает поражение, но если военные не отступят...

Сюй Мо кивнул — он тоже хотел прощупать, какую позицию займут военные в этом деле. Теперь, когда он втянул в это храм Ао, будут ли они проявлять осторожность?

— Сначала нужно подготовиться к худшему. Перед лицом осады со стороны клана Тан нашему клану следует временно сократить активность, — сказал Сюй Мо. — Перед лицом яростной атаки наш клан, находящийся на стадии становления, может приостановить расширение и сначала укрепить позиции.

Клан Тан тоже мог только сражаться с ними в сфере бизнеса, не смея использовать другие методы.

— Да, я тоже так думаю, — серьёзно кивнул Хоки Урланос. Никогда прежде он не был настолько серьёзен. Раньше, сотрудничая с Сюй Мо, он относился к этому как к игре, но теперь его отношение радикально изменилось.

Сюй Мо не играл.

...

После их ухода Тан Мин занялся устранением последствий, за короткое время связавшись со многими людьми по контактам Сюй Мо. Отложив коммуникатор, он выглядел крайне мрачным, его прищуренные глаза излучали холодный свет, совершенно утратив прежнюю приветливость, словно он превратился в ядовитую змею, готовую к броску.

«Храм Ао слишком зарвался», — подумал он. — «И сверхмощные вооружённые силы планеты Клои — неужели это был приказ губернатора?»

Вокруг постоянно суетились люди, докладывая новости. Тан Мин широко шагал по коридору, и кто-то рядом с ним произнёс:

— Это дело уже начинает распространяться вовне, влияние крайне негативное.

— Любой ценой контролируйте общественное мнение, не позволяйте инциденту распространяться, максимально снизьте его влияние, — холодно приказал Тан Мин. Сейчас на первом месте стояло подавление слухов — этому делу абсолютно нельзя было позволить разрастись, иначе это нанесло бы сокрушительный удар по их репутации.

Что касается счётов с Сюй Мо и кланом Синяя Звезда — рассчитаемся постепенно.

    Chapter 654. Serious Consequences
    Xu Mo came to the Tang family to have a good negotiation. As long as the Tang family was willing to show mercy and not continue to encircle the Blue Star Technology Group, the matter would be over. It was more important to develop slowly.
    However, the Tang family had no intention of talking, and they wanted to use force to show their power directly, but they were also mentally prepared for Xu Mo.
    There are undoubtedly only two possible outcomes for this incident: one is to resolve it peacefully and everyone lives in peace, and the other is to continue fighting.
    If the fight continues, with the weight of the Tang family, it is still not enough to just leverage the power of Lowell's Blue Star Technology Group. The identity of a genius disciple of the Temple of Ao is indeed of little use in the business world.
    He is doing business abroad, and it is impossible for the Temple of Ao to help him.
    Especially since he knew that this time it was mainly the military that wanted to deal with Blue Star Technology Group, Xu Mo understood even more clearly that they would definitely lose, as the other side had them completely dominated. At the moment, Blue Star Technology Group was just a dish in front of the other side, and the other side had been thinking about how to swallow it.
    Therefore, if you want to find a way out, you need to take advantage of the situation.
    Then, we have no choice but to make things bigger.
    The Temple of Ao will not help the extraordinary disciples to run the group, but the top extraordinary disciples of the Temple of Ao are being surrounded and attacked by others, and even lethal weapons are used. We can't just ignore it, right?
    No matter what, he is now a true disciple of the Ao Temple, the number one person in the Ao Temple on Chloe Star, and even the strongest genius among the Ten Temples after Skywalker.
    Also, recipient of the O'Brien Republic Medal of Bravery.
    No matter how big the Tang family is, it is still a private family. If they want to kill him, it will be a big deal.
    Of course, the Tang family didn't really want to kill Xu Mo.
    A talented cultivator from the Ao Temple broke into their Tang family and caused trouble. They taught the Ao Temple a lesson but it was none of their business. After all, all this was caused by a business dispute and had nothing to do with the Ao Temple.
    But killing a talented disciple of the Temple of Ao is a more serious matter.
    However, they had underestimated Xu Mo's fighting ability from the beginning. He actually killed people everywhere in the Tang family. His two flying swords killed people invisibly, and the mechas exploded continuously. Many people were seriously injured. If Xu Mo continued to kill like this, the Tang family would have no place to save face, so they deployed powerful killing weapons.
    At this time, the sky was dark. The armed forces of the Tang family arrived and surrounded the sky above Xu Mo's head. The huge mechas and heavy weapons were all aimed at Xu Mo, as if if Xu Mo dared to be presumptuous again, he would be eliminated on the spot.
    "boom……"
    After the injured Xu Mo sneered, an astonishing aura burst out from his body again. The coverage of the terrifying thunder domain became larger and larger, covering the huge square. Thunder fell from the sky and was everywhere.
    At the same time, two flying swords circled around Xu Mo's body, emitting terrifying energy light, which contained an extremely terrifying threat.
    This made the people of the Tang family frown and stare at Xu Mo. He still wanted to fight?
    "Are you still going to be so presumptuous?" The man from the Tang family stared at Xu Mo coldly and said.
    Xu Mo simply ignored the other party. Since things had come to this point, he would see today whether the Tang family was more powerful or the Ao Temple was stronger.
    As he finished speaking, the energy light emitted by the flying sword became stronger and stronger.
    Xu Mo's mind moved, and the flying sword burst out.
    The people of the Tang family all looked extremely unhappy. They had realized that Xu Mo was deliberately making things worse and using them to make a big fuss.
    "Bang, bang, bang..."
    The flying sword instantly pierced through several mechas, and endless thunder in the thunder domain came down to kill and bombarded the extraordinary people of the Tang family. Xu Mo's body floated up and killed towards the Tang family.
    "presumptuous."
    A cold voice was heard, and weapons in the air exploded at the same time. For a moment, the devastating attack submerged the place where Xu Mo was. The loud and violent explosions were heard continuously, and Xu Mo seemed to be buried in the storm of the explosion.
    A deep pit appeared on the ground, which was bombarded heavily. Xu Mo's body emerged from it and crawled up. It seemed that he could hardly stand up straight. He coughed and coughed up blood. His whole body was covered in blood.
    Seeing this, the Tang family members' faces darkened. They stared at Xu Mo intently and said, "You keep stirring up trouble. The Tang family has no choice but to teach you a lesson. I'm sure the Ao Temple will also investigate the cause of the incident. Now, leave. If you dare to attack us again, don't blame us for being rude."
    They also had a headache, wondering whether the powerful ones were afraid of death or not. The Tang family was very powerful, but Xu Mo was not afraid of death, so the Tang family was a little scared and did not dare to kill him. As a last resort, they could only drive this plague god away and stop him from causing trouble.
    "Walk?"
    Xu Mo looked up at them. It was too late to let him go now.
    He wanted to leave before, but the Tang family wanted him to stay. Now, he is not going anywhere.
    Lowell and the others rushed over here, rushed into the crowd, looked up at the people from the Tang family, with cold murderous intent in their eyes.
    "You're finished." Lowell threatened coldly.
    "Master Lowell, he was causing trouble in my Tang family, and you saw it. We were just fighting back." Someone from the Tang family responded.
    "You can explain it to the Ao Temple later." Lowell said coldly.
    The people of the Tang family frowned. Should they explain to the Ao Temple?
    They didn't kill Xu Mo. Could it be that because a talented extraordinary person from the Temple of Ao was injured, the top leaders came to investigate personally?
    The Temple of Ao will not easily interfere in matters outside, after all, the practitioners in the Temple of Ao are quite diverse.
    At this time, the communicator of the head of the Tang family vibrated. He picked up the call and heard a voice from the other side.
    He frowned, glanced at Xu Mo, and whispered something. After a moment, his expression changed continuously, becoming more and more embarrassed.
    At the same time, a sharp and piercing sound was heard outside. It was the alarm of the Tang family. A sonic boom was also heard in the distant sky.
    The alarms were becoming more and more shrill. From many directions within the Tang family, extraordinary people were taking off into the air, and even aircraft were taking off. From different directions, starships were seen breaking through the air at high speed, seemingly trying to break into the Tang family by force.
    "Slow down, otherwise it will be considered an invasion." The Tang family's armed forces issued a warning and launched sonic weapons.
    "Buzz..." In the distance, a beam of strong light burst out, a violent buzzing sound was heard, and the beam of light passed through the air.
    "Boom." With a loud bang, an explosion occurred above the Tang family, and the starship directly broke into the Tang family.
    At this moment, the people of the Tang family could clearly see the logo on the starship. It was the starship of the Temple of Ao.
    From the surrounding directions, there were also armed aircraft that directly entered the Tang family. They were all official armed formations of the Republic. Without any greeting, they broke in and headed straight for where Xu Mo and the others were.
    This alarmed the huge Tang family, and more and more people came out.
    On this side of the square, the people surrounding Xu Mo glanced around. The middle-aged man from the Tang family, who was in the lead, had a changing expression on his face. Soon, they were surrounded from different directions in the air.
    The starships of the Temple of Olympus and the super-powered armed forces of Chloe Star belong to the official Chloe Star.
    At this moment, extraordinary people from the Temple of Olympus came out of the starship, along with several elders, including Elder Creo, and many elites from the Temple of Olympus. They looked at Xu Mo, and saw that Xu Mo lying on the ground was covered in wounds. The elders of the Temple of Olympus suddenly looked extremely gloomy.
    Especially Elder Creo, it was he who brought Xu Mo into the Temple of Olympus and recommended him to Lord Talos. Now, the headquarters of the Temple of Olympus attaches great importance to Xu Mo, and he was almost killed here.

      "Xu Mo, are you okay?" Elder Creo looked at Xu Mo and asked.
      "We almost didn't get to see the elder." Xu Mo said. The people from the Tang family looked more embarrassed when they heard Xu Mo's words. Just now, the leader had learned some of the latest news about Xu Mo, and they knew that they might be in trouble this time.
      I saw that the official team from Chloe Star was still arriving one after another, as if they were gathering people from various places to come here and seal off this area.
      Below, Donnie and the others' expressions were particularly interesting at this moment. Did they stir up a hornet's nest?
      They didn't touch Lowell, why such a big reaction?
      "The Tang family is suspected of murdering the recipient of the Medal of Bravery of the O'Brien Republic. All the people here must be arrested." A cold voice was heard, and the faces of the people in the Tang family changed immediately.
      Suspected of murdering a recipient of the Republic's Order of Bravery?
      "When were we suspected of murder? Was it him who came to my Tang family to cause trouble?" The head of the Tang family said with a gloomy face, refusing to admit it.
      "I can be a witness. We were invited to the Tang family today. From the moment we arrived here, we were targeted with force. Senior Brother Xu Mo had no choice but to resist and was suppressed by the Tang family's lethal weapons. If it weren't for Senior Brother Xu Mo's strong fighting ability, he would have been killed by the Tang family by now." Lowell said.
      "So can I. I have filmed and recorded everything that happened here." Ross also interjected. The big devil always has a backup plan for what he does, so of course he has to film it.
      "Let me see." Elder Creo said, and Ross immediately handed the filmed content to Elder Creo.
      After reading it, Elder Creo's expression became even gloomier.
      "Captain Shrek, Elder Cleo, this is a misunderstanding."
      At this time, an old man from the Tang family came over here. He was the second-in-command of the Tang family, Tang Ming.
      They were dressed simply and had apologetic smiles on their faces. In the free time just now, he learned the whole story and all about Xu Mo, and knew that this matter was a bit troublesome.
      Xu Mo was unexpectedly received by the leader of the O'Brien Republic and personally awarded the Medal of Bravery. Moreover, he is now a powerful figure in the Temple of Ao, and is no longer just a talented practitioner in the Temple of Ao on Chloe Star.
      The significance of this matter is completely different. If it was an ordinary conflict, it would be nothing. But now, Xu Mo was believed to have been murdered in the Tang family, and the other party used this as an excuse to attack. Even the Tang family would be in big trouble.
      "Mr. Xu Mo, this is all a misunderstanding." Tang Ming gave Xu Mo a fake smile and said, "It's all Tang Ni's fault for his misconduct and his competitive nature. I will definitely punish him and compensate Mr. Xu Mo for his losses."
      "There's no misunderstanding." Xu Mo responded coldly: "When you, the Tang family, wanted to kill me, you didn't say it was a misunderstanding."
      Now you want Donnie to take the blame?
      He already knew that the whole incident was not Tang Ni's fault at all, but that the other party wanted to swallow them up. If he didn't seize the opportunity now and take advantage of it to make the Tang family suffer, Blue Star Technology Group would still be in danger in the future.
      We can’t let the Tang family get away with this easily.
      "Captain Shrek, these people murdered the extraordinary people of my Ao Temple. How does the official plan to deal with it?" Elder Creo ignored Tang Ming and asked Shrek directly.
      The Ao Temple belongs to the cultivator force, not the law enforcement agency. This matter still needs to be pushed for official handling of the Tang family.
      "All participants will be punished according to the laws of the Republic and handed over to the court for sentencing. In addition, Mr. Xu Mo is a recipient of the Republic's Medal of Bravery, and this incident will be dealt with severely." Captain Shrek said.
      "I suspect that someone from the upper echelons of the Tang family is behind this. Don't forget to investigate." Elder Creo continued.
      "Don't worry, we will take the person away for investigation." Captain Shrek responded.
      When the people from the Tang family heard the conversation between the two, their faces turned extremely ugly. No matter what, the Tang family was also the top financial group. It would not be so easy for these people to punish the Tang family.
      The Tang family also has power in various departments.
      "Mr. Cleo, I have just inquired about the cause of this matter. It was due to a business dispute. There is no disrespect to the Temple of Ao. Moreover, my Tang family and many partners also have people who practice in the Temple of Ao or come out of the Temple of Ao." Tang Ming said, as if to remind Elder Cleo that not only Xu Mo is a practitioner of the Temple of Ao, but there are also people from their Tang family who are from the Temple of Ao.
      "Is that so?" Elder Creole said, "Your Tang family can go and pick them up now. Also, starting today, the Ao Temple will no longer accept any Transcendents from the Tang family. Besides, the Ao Temple will no longer accept any Transcendents from any of the Tang family's partners."
      When Tang Ming heard Cleo's words, his face changed drastically, his heart was in turmoil, and his face gradually turned pale.
      What Cleo said would have serious consequences.

    Chapter 653: Big Deal
    When Tony crawled out of the mecha, his body was charred, his face was ashen, and he was dying, half dead.
    With the help of the powerful mecha, he can burst out with good combat power, but in terms of his own combat power, he is not worth mentioning in front of Xu Mo. Once the mecha is destroyed, he can only be slaughtered.
    He was in a very lethargic state, staring intently at Xu Mo. There was a problem with the integrity of the neural connections in the new generation of mechas. When the mecha was bombarded, it felt too stimulating, and it might even directly cause damage to the neurons.
    Moreover, Tony knew that his mind had been invaded by mental power, but he had no idea what Xu Mo had done to him.
    In fact, Xu Mo had just read his memory.
    He already knew that the other party actually had no intention of acquiring shares, but simply wanted to take over the Blue Star Technology Group. Tony was just a pawn, and the people who really wanted to take over the Blue Star Technology Group were the military forces.
    The Blue Star Technology Group has a base outside and is actively exploring markets on other planets. The Chloe Star military learned of this news and became curious about it. They wanted to take over the Blue Star Technology Group and occupy the base outside.
    In times of war, very few groups dared to engage in interstellar business. Blue Star Technology Group dared to do so and was targeted by the other side.
    However, the military was not in a position to intervene in such matters, so they asked the Tang family to do it, and Tony was the executor.
    Therefore, it can be said that negotiating with Downey does not actually make much sense as he has no decision-making power.
    In addition, when Xu Mo peeked into Tony's memory, he discovered that Tony actually had feelings for Sister Die. Thinking of those dirty thoughts, Xu Mo felt cold in his heart.
    The mecha's mechanical legs lifted up and then stepped directly on Tony's body. Tony's face turned even paler as he was stepped on. His body made a cracking sound, as if his bones were crushed. He immediately let out a scream.
    "This is the Tang family, how dare you be so presumptuous?" Tang Ni stared at Xu Mo with bloodshot eyes.
    The mecha exerted a little force, and Donnie screamed again. The mecha looked down at him with a cold look in its eyes.
    Xu Mo knew that the development of Blue Star Technology Group would inevitably attract the attention of forces like the military, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon. They were targeted in the early stages. This was not a good thing for Blue Star Technology Group and would limit their rapid expansion.
    Moreover, the military has now directly ordered Tony to take over Blue Star Technology Group, and trouble is imminent.
    Xu Mo's mecha kicked Donnie away, then turned and walked to Lowell and the others, stepped out of the mecha, and said, "Go back."
    He came here to find out Donnie's strengths and weaknesses and see if there was any solution.
    But after peeking into Tony's memory, Xu Mo realized that Tony had no decision-making power in this matter, so it was naturally impossible to solve it. There was no point in staying here, so he could leave.
    No one asked any questions and followed Xu Mo to leave together.
    But at this moment, mechas and fully armed armed forces wearing armor appeared one after another around the square, directly blocking the area and cutting off their way.
    Xu Mo and others stopped and frowned as they looked at the armed forces coming from around them.
    Rowell took a step forward, looked at the armed team in front of him, and said, "What does the Tang family mean by this?"
    A middle-aged man walked out, looked at Luo Weier, and said, "It is a great honor for Master Luo Weier to be a guest in my Tang family. This is Master Luo Weier's friend. He is so presumptuous in my Tang family and seriously injured someone from my Tang family. He can't just leave like this, right?"
    As a top consortium with military backing, the Tang family has nothing to fear as long as they don't touch Lowell.
    It is impossible for the Governor to touch the Tang family just because of Lowell's friends.
    "Lowell, take them to the starship and notify the Temple of Olympus." Xu Mo sent a telepathic message to Lowell.
    The current situation was within his imagination. If he wanted to break the deadlock in this incident, he needed to take advantage of the situation, and the situation he could currently take advantage of was mainly from the Temple of Ao.
    He is now a true disciple of the Temple of Ao. His talent was also revealed during his trip to the Imperial Trial Field. Now it is time to test his weight in the Temple of Ao.
    After hearing Xu Mo's words, Lowell fell silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.
    "Sister Die, Ross, you and Lowell go back to the starship." Xu Mo said to Ye Qingdie and the others.
    "Be careful." Ye Qingdie and the others knew they weren't suited to stay here, as they would only drag down Xu Mo. So they followed Lowell forward, heading towards the starship. Lowell looked up at the sky and said, "It was your Tang family who invited us here today. We'll be directly surrounded and attacked. I've already sent word back to the Governor's Mansion. Senior Brother Xu Mo is a true disciple of the Ao Divine Temple. Consider the consequences of anything you do."
    This was a warning, and he didn't believe that the Tang family would dare to really touch Xu Mo.
    The Tang family did not stop Lowell. His status as the son of the governor was there, and Lowell was not the controller of the Blue Star Technology Group. The Tang family certainly could not touch him, nor did they dare to. Otherwise, under the governor's wrath, it would be a lose-lose situation.
    "Don't interfere." Xu Mo said to Augustus and others beside him, then he took off into the air, reached a high altitude, and faced the armed forces of the Tang family.
    "You are a cultivator of the Ao Temple. The Tang family has great respect for the Ao Temple. However, it is not appropriate for you to break into our Tang family and injure people." The person from the Tang family spoke, taking the word "reason" first.
    Although the Tang family is a top financial group, they would never dare to offend the Ao Temple on Chloe Star. After all, the Ao Temple is a holy place for cultivation in the O'Brien Republic.
    However, Xu Mo is just a talented practitioner in the Temple of Ao, and he cannot represent the Temple of Ao.
    "I came here sincerely to negotiate, but the Tang family showed no sincerity at all. As soon as I arrived, they surrounded and killed me with mechas. Now they are turning against me and accusing me of murder?" Xu Mo walked forward and said coldly.
    There was a clicking sound, and seeing Xu Mo continue to move forward, the armed forces raised their weapons at the same time, aiming at Xu Mo. The mechas moved forward and surrounded Xu Mo, making it impossible for him to escape even with wings.
    "Stop moving forward and give up resistance, otherwise you will bear the consequences." The people from the Tang family shouted loudly.
    "Boom..." Xu Mo's energy exploded, releasing a brilliant field of thunder that covered the high altitude area. The Tang family member frowned, staring at Xu Mo, and said, "Capture him alive."
    After all, Xu Mo is a genius cultivator of the Ao Temple, and his life cannot be harmed.
    But Xu Mo dared to commit a crime in the Tang family. Even if the Ao Temple knew about it and came to question him, he should still be reasonable, right?
    For a moment, the weapons in the hands of the Tang family armed forces accumulated energy, and suddenly a terrifying energy wave covered the space where Xu Mo was.
    The next moment, many energy waves bombarded Xu Mo, including powerful sonic attacks, laser beams, and pressure cannons.
    Lightning flashed across the void, and Xu Mo's body shot out. Everything around him became extremely clear in his mind. He seemed to see through the trajectory of the attacks, and he moved forward under the numerous attacks at an extremely terrifying speed.
    At the same time, in this area of ​​thunder, countless terrifying lightning bolts exploded and hit the armed forces.
    "Boom, crack..." Many figures fell down directly, twitching all over. The people here were not top-level extraordinary people in desperate situations, and many of them could not withstand this level of attack.
    Just as Xu Mo approached the front, a huge wave came, and the terrifying pressure formed an energy wave that hit his body, blocking him for a moment. Then the mecha moved forward and fired at Xu Mo at the same time.
    “Squeak…”
    A sharp sound was heard, and two flying swords appeared on the left and right sides of Xu Mo's body. At this time, terrifying energy light was emitted from the flying swords.
    "Buzz."
    Xu Mo's mind moved, and the flying sword shot out, instantly hitting the heads of the two mechas.

      The heads of the two mechas exploded directly under the flying swords. After penetrating the mecha heads, the energy beams emitted by the flying swords made the Tang family's armed forces feel terrified.
      The face of the man who headed the Tang family changed. He could sense that the energy intensity of the two flying swords was extremely terrifying, and the energy beams released made him tremble.
      The sound of mechas exploding continued to be heard. Wherever the flying sword passed, the mechas could not stop it at all. Moreover, the speed of the flying sword was extremely terrifying. Under Xu Mo's mental control, it could change direction at will and could not be avoided at all.
      In the distance, more armed forces of the Tang family were rushing towards this side, including air combat formations and more powerful mechas.
      "Um?"
      At this moment, Xu Mo felt that he was being locked.
      "boom……"
      A red lightning shot towards him. Xu Mo turned around instantly and flew at high speed, but the red beam was too fast to dodge. He rushed to the ground below, and at the same time, he recalled the flying sword with his mind and shot it towards the red beam.
      The flying sword penetrated through it, and in an instant, an aura of destruction enveloped the ground below. The next moment, an explosion was heard, and a terrifying red storm spread wildly in a destructive manner. Xu Mo protected his body with energy light, but was still overwhelmed by the explosion wave. Many red lightnings invaded, shattered his defense, and then slammed into his body.
      "puff……"
      After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Xu Mo's body was blown away and fell heavily to the ground. The entire area was covered by the destructive red storm.
      "Senior Brother Xu Mo." In the distance, the situation on Lowell's side changed in shock. They couldn't help but look at the armed forces in the air with extreme anger, who actually launched weapons of this level.
      Looking ahead, the red area had a ground riddled with holes, and the surrounding areas were razed to the ground. Some people from the Tang family were also affected, and Xu Mo appeared in the explosion area.
      At this time, Xu Mo was in a very miserable state, his clothes were torn and his body was covered in blood. When he stood up, flying swords were still floating on both sides of him, and an energy wall enveloped the surroundings to prevent further attacks.
      In the air, the Tang family's follow-up formation surrounded Xu Mo and trapped him below.
      This time, the weapon is even more terrifying and can even threaten Skywalker-level beings.
      Xu Mo looked up at the armed team above. At this moment, he looked extremely embarrassed and lonely, standing there alone.
      However, the people of the Tang family saw a smile on Xu Mo's face.
      This is a big deal.

    Chapter 652. Invasion
    Above the square, Xu Mo's body floated forward. On the left and right sides of his body, mechas were moving slowly, ready for battle at any time.
    Xu Mo ignored him, looked towards where Tang Ni was, and said, "Can we talk now?"
    Tang Ni stared at Xu Mo and said, "Xu Mo entered the Ao Temple five years ago, recommended by the Uranus family. After entering the Ao Temple, he ranked third in the Ten Palaces Alliance and became a true disciple of the Ao Temple. He then went to the Ao Temple in the capital star to practice."
    It was obvious that Tony had inquired about Xu Mo's information before.
    After all, knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle. If you want to attack Blue Star Technology Group, how can you not know who is behind it?
    However, Donnie's news was not updated in real time and was still a little behind.
    Now Xu Mo is no longer eyeing the title of the third most talented extraordinary person in the Ten Palaces Alliance, but the number one person in the Ao Temple of Chloe Star, the strongest person in the Ten Palaces Alliance, and the recipient of the Medal of Bravery of the O'Brien Republic.
    There is an information gap between the Capital Star and Chloe Star, and the news is not so timely. Xu Mo only returned to the Temple of Ao on Chloe Star yesterday.
    Therefore, it is normal that there is no update on Downey’s news.
    "I've always admired powerful transcendents. Unfortunately, my own talent in cultivation isn't that great, so I can only make up for it in other areas. Fortunately, I do have some talent in mechas. Seeing the genius from the Ao Temple today, I felt an itch to try my hand at it."
    Tang Ni narrowed his eyes, stared at Xu Mo, and said with a smile: "So, we can talk while fighting."
    As he spoke, Donnie turned around and walked towards the mecha behind him.
    The mecha parts separated automatically, and the center position in the front opened like a hatch. Donnie walked directly in. Suddenly, streams of light lit up, and the cool mecha closed, and all the parts fit together perfectly.
    This mecha is very large, with sharp spikes on its back, like a sharp sword, giving people an extremely sharp feeling. The streamlines on its body are also very sharp. Energy light is released, and the huge body of the mecha slowly floats up and comes to high altitude.
    The mecha rose higher and higher, and arrived above Xu Mo.
    Intense energy lights of blue, purple and other colors bloomed, covering the boundless space, as if covering the vast square, and turning into a terrifying electromagnetic explosion, like countless lightning bolts.
    At the same time, an extremely heavy sense of oppression descended. The mecha was also equipped with a gravity system, making the entire space extremely heavy.
    "This mecha is our latest product. It has the ability to simulate the comprehension of top-tier transcendents, and it's even stronger. Furthermore, it's made of special materials and comes with a gravity system, making it much heavier than an ordinary mecha. The power system is also sufficient to support it, which means that while the mecha can unleash greater power, its speed remains unchanged."
    After being transformed by the mecha, Tony's voice became deep and powerful, with a metallic texture and a sense of dominance. The mecha's pupils stared at Xu Mo below. The mecha's eyes were like human eyes, with anthropomorphic emotions, and seemed to be filled with contempt, just like Tony's eyes.
    As the latest generation of mecha on Chloe Star, the mecha technology that Lucas Star wanted to develop back then has already been matured here, achieving complete brain-computer connection. Downey can upload all of his neuronal information to the mecha and have absolute control over it.
    At this time, he and the mecha have been perfectly integrated together. Instead of simply controlling it, he is the mecha itself.
    "Mr. Xu Mo, are you willing to sell Blue Star Technology Group or accept our investment?" The mecha's rough and deep voice came again, and the huge sword in his hand pointed at Xu Mo in the air below. In an instant, electromagnetic light burst out and killed Xu Mo.
    Xu Mo, a top transcendent in the Temple of Ao, wants to step into the weapons market and even open up markets on other planets just because he has won over the Governor's son Lowell and the Uranus family. This is a bit of a pipe dream.
    The reason why we invited Xu Mo and the others here today is to give them a warning and let them know that the identity of the so-called genius extraordinary person of the Temple of Ao is actually nothing in front of their Tang family. They can crush him just by relying on the mecha.
    genius?
    Unless you cultivate to the highest level, it is meaningless.
    The advancement of science and technology has led to the rapid development of weapons, and the fighting power of extraordinary people can be easily replaced, unless they are at the top level.
    "No."
    Xu Mo looked up at the mecha and responded calmly and coldly.
    "oh?"
    A word came from the mecha, which seemed to carry a bit of irony. The next moment, the electromagnetic beam became more ferocious. The mecha turned into a stream of light and swooped down, and terrifying energy light burst out.
    With Xu Mo's body as the center, the thunder domain erupted, covering the boundless space. The power of thunder and the electromagnetic beam collided with each other. The destructive airflow raged over the square, and the terrible energy turbulence headed towards the distance.
    At the same time, an extremely terrifying gravitational pressure descended. When the huge mecha above his head killed him, Xu Mo felt an extremely heavy sense of oppression. Just as Tony said, this mecha had a gravity far exceeding that of other mechas without sacrificing speed. Therefore, the impact force it could generate would increase exponentially. Even the top figures in desperate situations would be killed by it.
    A strong light burst out from Xu Mo's body, and the surrounding energy completely went out of control, converging with his body as the center. He tried to attack with mental power, but found that this new generation of mecha even had a defensive effect against mental power. Its materials could hinder the invasion of mental power. This was also to guard against top mental power masters.
    "Bang."
    Xu Mo's body shot out at an extremely fast speed, and an extremely brilliant energy light burst out. The mecha and Xu Mo were about to meet in mid-air. The oppressive feeling of the violent mecha became stronger and stronger, almost suffocating people. The terrifying huge sword swung down, and the electromagnetic beam ran wild, destroying everything and slashing towards the ground below.
    A dazzling flash of light burst out, and the giant sword slashed down. The terrifying light of destruction shot straight into the sky below and hit the ground. Suddenly, the ground exploded wildly, and deep cracks appeared.
    But the sword did not hit Xu Mo. In that extremely brief moment, Xu Mo moved instantly with his body skills, merged with the lightning, avoided the attack, and rushed behind the mecha.
    Xu Mo's body did not stop moving after he came behind the mecha, but continued to move forward at a terrifying speed. He actually gave up Tony's mecha and broke through the air at high speed, rushing towards the direction of other mechas in the square.
    "Huh?" The other mechas were stunned, and several mechas started up at the same time and rushed towards Xu Mo.
    "Buzz." Xu Mo's body accelerated, and the surroundings turned into a terrifying thunder field. His body shuttled through the thunder field, as if it had become one with the lightning.
    "Swish, swish..." Several beams of light appeared and shot out with thunder, containing extremely violent power.
    "Bang, bang, bang..." The heads of several mechas exploded directly under the terrifying force and were destroyed by the flying swords. Xu Mo's body arrived, and the sword in his hand slashed across, and the sound of crackling and breaking was heard continuously.
    In an instant, several mechas were destroyed and fell into the air.
    Xu Mo turned around and launched a mental attack directly at the other mecha, and the operator inside the mecha immediately turned pale.
    "Get out."
    A voice sounded in his mind, and immediately the mecha pilot inside actually executed Xu Mo's order and came out of the mecha.
    Xu Mo directly replaced him and stepped into the mecha.
    All this was completed in a very short time. It only took a few seconds for Xu Mo to break through the mecha and enter it.
    On the other side, Tony was looking at this side. The mecha was floating in the air. After seeing Xu Mo's actions, he did not disturb him, but let Xu Mo enter the inside of the mecha.
    Xu Mo, is he also a mecha master?
    The mecha's energy light gradually lit up, and then it hovered in the air.

      Xu Mo familiarized himself with it and then entered a fully connected state.
      In an instant, Xu Mosheng had a feeling similar to entering a virtual world. At this moment, he turned into a mecha, and the body parts of the mecha were just like his own body parts, waving his arms and fingers.
      "boom……"
      The surrounding energy ran wild, surrounding the mecha, a violent gravity appeared, and a violent hammer appeared in the mecha's hand.
      "You're right. To do something, you first need to have passion for it. Coincidentally, I'm also good at mechas." Xu Mo's voice came from the mecha, and both mechas were suspended high in the sky.
      "Really? Then I'm even more curious." As soon as Tony finished speaking, energy light burst out from the mecha.
      "boom."
      "boom……"
      The two mechas rushed towards each other at a terrifying speed at the same time, drawing two beams of light in the air.
      Electromagnetic energy burst out from Tony's body, and gravity pressed on the mecha in front, while terrifying energy gathered around Xu Mo's mecha, and even the power of destruction was looming, condensed on the heavy hammer.
      A dazzling light burst out from the heavy hammer, and the two mechas were getting closer and closer. The next moment, they rushed towards each other.
      Everyone in the square looked up at the sky. Two mechas collided with each other, accompanied by a loud explosion and terrifying energy waves. However, the powerful confrontation as imagined did not occur.
      Because with just one strike, the outcome is decided.
      The sword in Tony's hand cut off the arm of Xu Mo's mecha, and the sledgehammer of Xu Mo's mecha hit the head of Tony's mecha, causing it to explode and fall into the air.
      Xu Mo's mecha looked down, and countless rays of lightning fell directly and blasted into the mecha.
      A scream was heard, but Xu Mo remained indifferent to the sound. He moved his mecha downwards and said to the people below, "You wanted to experience the extraordinary people of the Ao Temple. Now I will grant you your wish. Next, can we have a proper talk?"
      In the destroyed mecha, Tony's body was twitching, electric currents were running through his body, his face was pale, and the other party's voice rushed directly into his mind, invading him.
