Chapter 791: Chapter 789: Damn Well Deserved

Guo Mao’s icy gaze fixed on Mo Lin.

Seeing yet another person appear, Mo Lin was not at all surprised.

It was even within Mo Lin’s expectations.

Just like the Dragon Slayer Arhat had said before, many in the East District won’t allow the Evil Buddha to disappear.

Mo Lin stood in place, locking eyes with Guo Mao.

"Mo Lin, I never thought you’d achieve what you have today."

Guo Mao genuinely sighed.

"I’ve known about you for a long time."

Mo Lin had done many unexpected things in the past, having once slain the Evil Buddha at the Celestial Sect.

It was quite normal for him to draw attention.

"You deserve to speak to me as an equal."

Guo Mao said slowly to Mo Lin, "Let’s each take a step back.

Leave here with your friends."

He wasn’t letting Mo Lin go out of conscience.

Nor out of kindness.

He was worried Mo Lin would fight to the death.

He feared that if the immortality opportunity appeared, he might be injured in a fight with Mo Lin, making it impossible to compete for it.

Seeing Mo Lin remain silent, Guo Mao spoke again.

"If you leave today, when the immortality opportunity surfaces, I’ll give you a slot to compete for it." Guo Mao tempted Mo Lin.

"Sorry, I’m not interested in immortality." Mo Lin promptly refused Guo Mao.

The concept of immortality had never crossed Mo Lin’s mind.

The moment he heard this statement, Guo Mao’s face turned dark.

He had said all he needed to say.

He had used both kind and harsh words.

Mo Lin was unmoved, stubbornly intent on destroying the Evil Buddha.

Guo Mao obviously could not allow Mo Lin to destroy the Evil Buddha.

If the Evil Buddha disappeared, then many in the East District would have died in vain, wouldn’t they?

The immortality opportunity would no longer have a chance to awaken.

Guo Mao raised his hand, and terrifying heat gathered in his palm.

The next moment, a fireball appeared at the center of his palm, which Guo Mao hurled.

The fireball flew towards Mo Lin.

Mo Lin also raised his hand, gathering Nether Qi in his palm.

The Nether Qi formed a sphere that Mo Lin hurled towards Guo Mao’s direction.

"Bang!"

The fireball and the sphere of Nether Qi collided with each other.

A terrifying wave swept the surroundings, causing both Mo Lin and Guo Mao to take a step back.

"Netherlord realm strength."

Guo Mao felt Mo Lin’s Netherlord realm strength, and his expression immediately became serious.

This level of strength was already at the pinnacle in the entire East District.

Unfortunately, Mo Lin was the enemy.

Guo Mao raised his hand again, and a terrifying heat wave converged, cascading towards Mo Lin like a waterfall.

Mo Lin also gathered Nether Qi.

The Nether Qi condensed into a barrier in front of Mo Lin, blocking Guo Mao’s attack.

Guo Mao checked the time and then reminded Mo Lin.

"Mo Lin, if you return to Beihai now, you’ll still have a chance to save your ghosts.

If you head back too late, your ghosts will die."

A seductive grin formed at the corner of Guo Mao’s mouth.

The reason for the attack on Beihai’s ghosts was simple: to force Mo Lin to leave.

It was to make Mo Lin choose.

To make him return to Beihai.

"I remind you that it was the Jingming Dao Sect that went to Beihai." Guo Mao said leisurely to Mo Lin.

A killing intent appeared deep in Mo Lin’s eyes.

"Are you going back? Or staying here wasting time?" Guo Mao said coldly to Mo Lin.

Mo Lin’s expression was frosty, and as he raised his hand, Nether Qi appeared in front of him, engulfing him instantly.

In the blink of an eye, Mo Lin vanished from sight.

A ghost appeared in the place where Mo Lin had disappeared.

Mo Lin used the Netherworld Lord Seal to swap places with a ghost in Beihai.

This move required a massive consumption of Nether Qi.

Now that Mo Lin had reached the Netherlord realm, he could easily perform this move.

"What?"

Guo Mao’s pupils contracted sharply, showing a look of surprise.

"He really has this kind of trick."

Truly caught off guard.

He thought Mo Lin would walk or take some form of transportation back to Beihai, which would have taken about three days.

By the time Mo Lin returned to Beihai, the ghosts there should have been mostly slaughtered.

Unexpectedly, Mo Lin used the Netherworld Lord Seal to directly swap places with a ghost.

Even the former Master of the Yellow Springs, Huang Shang, wouldn’t have been able to do that.

Beihai....

Jingming Dao Sect disciples surrounded them.

Evil-Slaying Dao Qi formed a long sword that sliced through the air.

Chen Xi charged out first, swinging her palm to fend off the approaching Jingming Dao Sect disciples.

The Jingming Dao Sect had prepared a Myriad Strands of Golden Light Formation.

Tens of thousands of golden rays shot down like meteors upon the ghosts.

"Boom..."

The entire Beihai seemed as if it was undergoing a lightning tribulation.

A ghost struck by the golden rays immediately turned to dust.

Six-Eared Mingyue donned a mask, a golden staff appearing in her hand.

The golden staff extended in the air, fiercely striking the top of the Myriad Strands of Golden Light Formation.

Six-Eared Mingyue single-handedly stopped the Myriad Strands of Golden Light Formation.

Soon after, Evil-Slaying Dao Qi rolled over like a long river.

The one leading the charge was Wu Chen.

The manager of the East District for the Jingming Dao Sect, and also the most powerful person.

Wu Chen, with a head full of white hair, carried a wooden sword on his back.

He raised his right hand, and Evil-Slaying Dao Qi formed an Eight Trigrams shape on his palm.

Wu Chen waved his hand, the Eight Trigrams-shaped Evil-Slaying Dao Qi crushing toward Chen Xi.

Unwilling to show weakness, ghostly Qi surfaced around Chen Xi as she raised her hand to resist the advancing Evil-Slaying Dao Qi.

"Bang!"

Chen Xi’s right arm was immediately broken.

As her arm broke, she quickly summoned ghostly Qi to rapidly repair her right arm.

Six-Eared Mingyue was entangled by the Myriad Strands of Golden Light Formation, unable to free herself.

Chen Xi was held off by Wu Chen.

The other Jingming Dao Sect disciples had already begun to massacre the ghosts en masse.

The ordinary people living in Beihai were heart-stricken.

They knew very well that if the Beihai ghosts lost today,

they, as ordinary people, would have no way to survive.

Some of the weaker Daoist cultivators also joined the battle.

These Daoist cultivators helped the ghosts fight against the Jingming Dao Sect.

Suddenly...

A tremendous oppressive force descended.

This terrifying oppression caused everyone to halt.

The disciples of Jingming Dao Sect felt their hearts stop.

Beihai fell into a deathly silence.

At the center, a shadow appeared out of nowhere.

"How dare you!"

A terrifying voice echoed in Beihai.

"Welcome, Lord Mo Lin."

Led by Chen Xi, tens of thousands of ghosts knelt simultaneously.

Around Mo Lin, terrifying Nether Qi spread through the air.

The entire Beihai was enveloped in the horrific Nether Qi.

"Nether Qi?"

Wu Chen felt the terrifying oppression, making his scalp tingle.

"Damn... how is it the Netherlord realm?"

Wu Chen’s face showed a cautious expression.

This was not a fake Netherlord realm.

This was a true Netherlord realm, and the pressure was suffocating.

"Those bastards sent me to die?

Mo Lin has already reached the Netherlord realm, how do I fight him?"

If Mo Lin were still at the pseudo-Netherlord realm, it wouldn’t matter.

But now Mo Lin had attained true Netherlord realm power.

No matter how arrogant Wu Chen was, looking down on everyone,

he dared not act rashly in front of Mo Lin.

With Netherlord realm strength alone, Mo Lin was undoubtedly the top ghost cultivator in the East District.

Guo Mao had promised Wu Chen an opportunity to slay the ghosts in Beihai and gain immortality.

But he didn’t mention that Mo Lin had already reached the Netherlord realm.

Suddenly... Wu Chen thought of something.

"Weren’t you in West Mountain?

How did you come back?"

At this time, Mo Lin should have been at West Mountain; how did he suddenly return to Beihai?
