The time had already reached seven in the evening.
Through guild messages, Lin Mo learned that the Divine Nation Guild army had long since finished setting up an ambush inside the Blood Mine map.
And Lin Mo had also secretly sent Qin Feng to scout the area and confirm that the entire Divine Nation army was indeed stationed in Blood Mine.
Meanwhile, through the clone, Lin Mo had already mobilized the two major guilds, Golden Age and Ironblood, and prepared them in advance to lead both guilds into Blood Mine at any time.
Next, they only had to wait for Wang Junjie to lead the Chaotic World players in gathering hoes at the Blood Camp and join forces with Blood Dance Guild to march into Blood Mine.
Then Lin Mo could use the clone to command Golden Age and Ironblood to attack Blood Mine at the same time, joining Chaotic World and Blood Dance Guild in officially launching a full-scale assault against Divine Nation Guild.
"Why would Ming Yuexin ask me to help with a quest at a time like this?", Lin Mo couldn't help feeling suspicious.
"Could it be that she's already started suspecting tonight's operation?"
Lin Mo knew that Ming Yuexin was an extremely suspicious person.
Even though Lin Mo had already passed her tests and trials multiple times before, as long as there was even the slightest mistake, she would still become suspicious of him.
"Even if tonight's operation can't proceed normally, I still can't let Ming Yuexin suspect anything. Otherwise, everything will fail at the last step."
So Lin Mo agreed to Ling Xue, ["Alright. Where are you? Send me the location and I'll come over."]
Ding!
Without another word, Ling Xue sent the location over.
While heading toward the marked location Ling Xue sent, Lin Mo gave the clone a standby order through his consciousness.

[Night Fell]
Darkness covered the Divine Oracle continent.
When Lin Mo and Ning Xi followed Ling Xue's location marker and arrived in the northern part of Inferno City, what entered their sight was a city ruin that had been heavily destroyed, as if swept by a nuclear bomb, completely lifeless.
A large group of Divine Nation Guild players were stationed outside the city with heavy security.
When they saw Lin Mo, they respectfully lowered their heads and shouted, "Vice Guild Leader!"
After Lin Mo entered the city holding Ning Xi's hand, he saw Ling Xue, Zhao Jun, He Xiao, and Lin Miaomiao surrounding an ancient-looking magic formation with troubled expressions.
Only after seeing Lin Mo arrive did the four of them finally relax.
"Vice Guild Leader Lin is here!"
"Great, we're saved!"
As soon as Lin Mo joined up with them, Ling Xue got straight to the point.
"This secret realm only allows a five-person party to enter, and there are only three challenge attempts total. We've already failed twice. If we fail the last attempt too, the secret realm will permanently close."
'Secret realm?'
When he heard those two words, Lin Mo immediately became excited.
Because secret realms in the world of Divine Oracle were basically treasure vaults.
All kinds of hidden class scrolls, limited-edition divine artifacts, forbidden spell skill books, more than ninety percent of them came from secret realms.
Even Ning Xi's younger brother Ning Fei had obtained his SS-grade talent in the previous life through a secret realm reward discovered for him by Ning Xi.
'Ming Yuexin's group actually managed to find a secret realm. That's really not simple,' Lin Mo exclaimed in his mind.
Because the value of secret realms was so high, the secret realms in Divine Oracle were extremely hidden, making them nearly impossible for ordinary people to discover.
And even if someone found one through incredible luck, they still needed that secret realm's exclusive key to enter.
Each secret realm only had one key in the entire world of Divine Oracle, and obtaining it was extremely difficult.
Ling Xue's group had already challenged the secret realm twice, which meant they had not only discovered the secret realm, but had even found the realm's key.
According to Divine Oracle's settings, every secret realm was limited to three challenge attempts. Once all three failed, the secret realm would permanently disappear.
There was naturally no doubt about what Ling Xue said.
At this moment, Lin Mo casually added, "The Chaotic World people should be marching toward Blood Mine soon. President Ling, there can't be nobody overseeing Blood Mine."
After all, tonight's plan was to get rid of Ming Yuexin.
How could it work if she wasn't at Blood Mine?
Ling Xue seemed to have already planned things out and said confidently, "Don't worry! I've already sent all the guild elders to guard Blood Mine, and the Death Mark Scroll has already been handed to Sun Yang. Tonight's plan will proceed as normal."
"It's just a small Chaotic World Guild. Even if the few of us aren't there, we can still easily deal with them."
Lin Mo thought to himself, 'Since the Blood Mine operation is proceeding as usual, then we'll follow the original plan and deal with Divine Nation's main force at Blood Mine first. Once they lose the guild as support, the few of you left won't be worth worrying about.'
Just as Lin Mo was thinking this, Ling Xue took out a dragon horn from her backpack and placed it into the dead formation in front of her.
The next second...
Boom!
A beam of golden light shot into the sky from the formation.
Within the golden light, a phantom dark dragon spiraled upward.
Color represented the rarity level of the secret realm, divided into Bronze, Silver, and Gold.
The pattern represented the ownership of the secret realm, judged according to Divine Oracle races: ordinary races, rare races, and supreme races!
Lin Mo said in shock, "This is... a golden dragon race secret realm?"
"That's right," Ling Xue said, "A Black Dragon race secret realm from Divine Oracle's supreme race. So the difficulty is a little higher than ordinary secret realms."
Lin Mo's heartbeat sped up immediately.
'Ming Yuexin actually managed to find such a high-level secret realm within a level-two main city area, and even successfully obtained the secret realm's only key. How exactly did she do it?'
While shocked, Lin Mo also felt excited.
Because standing before him was Divine Oracle's supreme race, the Dragon Race.
Which also meant...
'If I can find royal dragon blood inside this dragon race secret realm, then I can use it to remove Zhao Ling'er's talent real and awaken her SS-grade talent.'
Lin Mo's original plan was to wait until entering the Divine Tomb dungeon and obtain royal blood from the God Race, another supreme race, to remove Zhao Ling'er's talent seal.
But now, this was a perfect chance to break Zhao Ling'er's talent seal ahead of time.
Everything depended on whether royal dragon blood could be found in this secret realm.
At this moment, the dragon horn inside the formation, the only key used to open this secret realm, shattered, meaning this was already the final chance to enter the secret realm.
Ling Xue recreated the team and pulled Zhao Jun, He Xiao, and Lin Miaomiao into it before sending an invitation to Lin Mo.
At the same time, she said to Ning Xi, "Little Sister Liuli, stay outside and help us guard the formation. When the Dragon Hall secret realm activates, it will awaken the dark death guards in the city beneath our feet. They'll attack the Dragon Hall. If they enter the Dragon Hall, it'll cause huge trouble for our secret realm raid."
"Most of our people are stationed at Blood Mine, so we don't have many people here. During the first two rounds, quite a few dark death guards already slipped into the secret realm. We need a strong person like Little Sister Liuli to help guard the formation."
"With Lin Mo's strength, having him alone is enough to clear the secret realm."
Ning Xi looked at Lin Mo.
Although she didn't really want to separate from him, she also knew that if nobody guarded the formation, it would threaten Lin Mo's secret realm raid.
So Ning Xi said to Lin Mo, "Brother Lin Mo, go ahead. I'll protect the outside."
"Okay."
The next moment, as Lin Mo and Ling Xue's group of five stepped into the golden light, they disappeared together with it.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Just as expected, black beams burst out from the ground around them.
As they scattered across the ground, they turned into soldiers wearing black dragon armor—
Level 60 Dark Death Guards!
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
All the Divine Nation Guild players stationed in the city immediately drew their weapons and moved toward the formation.
With Ning Xi as the core main force, they formed a huge protective circle.
"Everyone, cooperate with Elder Liuli and protect the formation!"
