Chapter 859 - 853: Fear and Accountability

Chapter 859: Chapter 853: Fear and Accountability

Is Mo Lin truly capable, or just arrogant?

Mo Lin was not facing a single individual; he was confronting the elite forces of Jingming Daoism.

It could be said that all the forces of Jingming Daoism were gathered here.

Qu Lin and the others saw Mo Lin arrive.

They changed their attitude and approached Mo Lin one after another.

Hearing Mo Lin say he would handle this matter alone, Qu Lin’s face showed a hint of disdain.

"Arrogant to the extreme, do you intend to confront our entire Jingming Daoism on your own?

Are you planning to extinguish the sect?"

Mo Lin said nothing, raising his right hand, and a golden longsword appeared floating beside him.

As Mo Lin made his move, Qu Lin and the others did not hesitate, and they all took action.

Qu Lin raised his right hand, took out a spirit disk, placed it on the ground, and then spoke to the others.

"Array Formation."

Four figures quickly swept past behind Mo Lin,

appearing in different directions, each holding a spirit disk identical to Qu Lin’s.

The four placed the spirit disks on the ground.

Strands of light connected like threads.

Light emerged.

Golden light enveloped Mo Lin.

This was the array they had prepared in advance to deal with Mo Lin.

This array could seal the Celestial Monarch Xu’s inheritance within Mo Lin.

Preventing Mo Lin from using his inherited power from the Celestial Monarch Xu.

After forming the array, Qu Lin, Ye Lian, and Gongsun Yan led the disciples, standing in different positions.

"Mo Lin, hand over the Grandmaster’s inheritance, and I can give you a way out." Qu Lin said coldly to Mo Lin.

Their goal was indeed the Celestial Monarch Xu’s inheritance.

"Sorry, it’s gone." Mo Lin replied truthfully.

"Stubborn fool." Qu Lin rebuked sharply and immediately took action.

He raised his right hand, and a longsword appeared.

Evil-Slaying Dao Qi surrounded him.

Then Qu Lin swung his sword.

Evil-Slaying Dao Qi merged with the sword technique, and the sword light slashed towards Mo Lin.

This was the Jingming Evil-slaying Swordsmanship.

Mo Lin immediately saw the flaw in this strike, retreated backwards, and dodged the sword at a tricky angle.

Seeing Mo Lin dodge, Qu Lin was unwilling to give up and continued to slash with over a dozen sword strikes.

Every sword light was evaded by Mo Lin.

Mo Lin was proficient in Jingming Evil-slaying Swordsmanship, so evading the sword techniques was normal.

Moreover, the Jingming Evil-slaying Swordsmanship possessed by this group was not even complete.

If evading the first sword light was luck, then Mo Lin continuously evading over a dozen sword lights was sheer skill.

The Evil-Slaying Dao Qi gathered together, then condensed into an Evil-slaying Longsword, slashing towards Mo Lin.

At this moment, Mo Lin stopped evading and chose to confront them head-on.

Mo Lin raised his hand, and the golden longsword flew out.

Directly slashing towards the Evil-Slaying Dao Qi condensed longsword.

"Rumble..."

The golden longsword immediately broke through Qu Lin’s Evil-Slaying Dao Qi.

"Sword Driving?"

"Immortal’s technique?"

At the moment Mo Lin drove the sword, everyone present was astonished.

Even in the distance, Tang Qingqing’s pupils suddenly contracted, showing a look of surprise.

"Already an Immortal?"

Sword Driving was indeed an Immortal’s method.

Throughout Jingming Daoism, no one possessed such a technique.

Even Ye Lian did not have such powerful means.

"So strong?" At this moment, Tang Qingqing immediately understood.

Mo Lin wasn’t just arrogant; he was truly capable.

At this moment, Tang Qingqing showed a look of joy.

Some were happy, while others were troubled.

Seeing Mo Lin drive the sword, Qu Lin’s heart turned to ash in an instant.

His face darkened.

"This guy has actually become so strong."

Although unwilling to admit it, he clearly understood in his heart.

Mo Lin had already reached an unprecedented height.

"An Immortal?"

Gongsun Yan furrowed his brows and mumbled to himself, "If we had chosen him as the heir back then, would it have been a better choice?"

At that moment, he felt a bit of regret.

Regretting staying neutral, if he had opposed Qu Lin like Tang Qingqing, insisting on supporting Mo Lin.

There might have been a better outcome.

Sadly... it’s too late to say anything now.

This world offers no remedies for regret.

Ye Lian also frowned.

Purely evaluating from a strength perspective, Mo Lin might be even more formidable than Jingming Daoism’s current heir Xu Zang.

"Kill him." Ye Lian barked an order.

The more gifted someone is, the sooner they must be eradicated.

They absolutely cannot leave any potential threat for the future.

Gongsun Yan nodded, although he harbored regret in his heart, he also understood clearly that today, Mo Lin must be killed.

Mo Lin swung his hand again, and the golden longsword slashed towards Qu Lin.

Qu Lin urged the Evil-slaying Dao Qi to gather in front of him, forming a barrier.

He hoped to use the barrier to withstand Mo Lin’s attack.

"Bang!"

The golden long sword struck the barrier.

Cracks appeared in the barrier, which then shattered.

Qu Lin dodged swiftly, but unfortunately, he was a few steps too slow.

The golden long sword grazed Qu Lin’s thigh.

Blood flowed.

If Qu Lin hadn’t reacted quickly, this sword would have definitely severed his leg.

Mo Lin attacked again, the golden long sword swung out once more.

Gongsun Yan acted, raising his right hand, and an Eight Trigrams Compass appeared on his palm.

The Eight Trigrams Compass floated in the air, blocking the golden long sword.

At that moment, the advantage of numbers was revealed.

As the golden long sword was blocked, disciples of Jingming Daoism rushed forward towards Mo Lin.

Hoping to seize this flaw and deliver a fatal blow to Mo Lin.

In the distance, Tang Qingqing nervously clenched her fists.

She was fully aware that Mo Lin was now fighting the entire Jingming Daoism.

Even if Mo Lin possessed Immortal techniques, he would suffer losses.

Mo Lin activated two strands of Divinity.

A vertical eye appeared on Mo Lin’s brow, emitting a golden beam like a laser, rushing towards the hundreds of people approaching from all directions.

Those hundreds simultaneously activated Evil-slaying Dao Qi.

The Evil-slaying Dao Qi condensed into barriers, blocking the attack of the two strands of Divinity.

At this moment, the advantage of numbers immediately became apparent.

Hundreds charged from every direction.

For them, as long as one could get close to Mo Lin, they would win.

At this moment, Mo Lin activated Nether Qi.

Ink-black Nether Qi gathered in the air, condensing into a pitch-black door.

The door slowly opened.

Mo Lin activated Ghost Technique.

A gust of ghostly wind instantly surged out.

Centered on Mo Lin, the ghostly wind engulfed everyone within a kilometer.

Qu Lin and Gongsun Yan, who were strong enough, could rely on their own strength to resist Mo Lin’s Ghost Technique.

But those disciples slightly weaker were quite miserable.

Hundreds were enveloped by the ghostly wind.

Initially, these people could still endure using Evil-slaying Dao Qi.

But as time passed, someone finally couldn’t withstand it.

A disciple’s Evil-slaying Dao Qi shattered.

The next moment, he was swept away by the ghostly wind.

The ghostly wind rushed over the man, as if scraping flesh off bone.

Within just a few breaths, all the flesh on the man was blown away.

Leaving only a skeleton.

As the first person fell, others began to fall one after another.

Hundreds of disciples simply couldn’t withstand Mo Lin’s Ghost Technique.

"Why is this guy so strong?

The array against him is useless." a man shouted angrily.

Then was erased by the ghostly wind.

The air was thick with the pungent smell of blood.

Qu Lin also realized something was amiss.

The array they prepared to deal with Mo Lin.

Was completely useless, Mo Lin hadn’t utilized the ancestral inheritance power at all.

"Netherlord Realm... Qu Lin, this guy is Netherlord Realm."

Gongsun Yan scolded Qu Lin.

Previously, Qu Lin hadn’t mentioned that Mo Lin was Netherlord Realm.

Qu Lin nervously swallowed, sweat even appeared on his forehead.

At this moment, Qu Lin was no longer as calm as before.

He panicked.

"I didn’t know... he was Netherlord Realm." Qu Lin wasn’t lying.

He truly didn’t know Mo Lin was Netherlord Realm.

Mainly because Xu Zang had told him Mo Lin was easy to deal with.

Qu Lin believed Xu Zang’s words.

As for Mo Lin’s actual conditions, he hadn’t investigated at all.

"Qu Lin, you must take responsibility for this." Gongsun Yan scolded Qu Lin again.

He wasn’t a fool.

With Mo Lin’s activation of Ghost Technique, he immediately sensed Mo Lin was Netherlord Realm.

He previously wasn’t aware Mo Lin was Netherlord Realm.

If he had known Mo Lin was Netherlord Realm, he would never have agreed to Qu Lin’s plan against Mo Lin.

If Mo Lin was just a simple Ghost Cultivator, Netherlord Realm strength would be acceptable.

But Mo Lin also possessed another power, Immortal Cultivation, Immortal means.

He owned both Ghost Technique and Immortal Technique simultaneously.

This kind of impossible occurrence just happened to be on Mo Lin.

Ye Lian saw hundreds of disciples die at Mo Lin’s hands, his expression dark.

"Qu Lin, you deserve to be executed."

Although it’s Mo Lin who killed, the cause was Qu Lin’s provocation.

So Gongsun Yan and Ye Lian simultaneously held Qu Lin accountable.
