Chapter 747 - 745: Immortal Qi
Looking at the seven-year-old girl in front of him, Mo Lin’s head buzzed.
A vast amount of information surged forth.
Was this the reason Huang Shang was so reluctant to die earlier?
This was why Huang Shang feared death.
She had a daughter?
Parasite?
Adopted?
She couldn’t have given birth to her own daughter, right?
"Thump! Thump!"
At this moment, Mo Lin could even clearly feel the sound of his own heartbeat.
The little girl cried as she looked at Mo Lin, tightly clutching the yellow bead.
She stared at Mo Lin.
Mo Lin grabbed the girl’s collar with his right hand and lifted her up.
The girl was so light that Mo Lin lifted her up effortlessly.
"Do you want to kill me?" The girl felt Mo Lin’s murderous intent and asked.
Yes, Mo Lin indeed had the intention to kill.
Eliminate the roots.
Moreover, the opposing party was Huang Shang’s daughter.
"My mother offended you, but I never offended you.
Why do you want to kill me?"
The girl asked Mo Lin, "Did I do something wrong?
Does your grudge against my mother have anything to do with me?"
Mo Lin just looked at the girl without saying a word.
"Are you afraid my mother will resurrect?"
The girl explained to Mo Lin once more, "My mother is already dead. The yellow bead cannot resurrect her."
The girl was very clever; Mo Lin hadn’t even said what he wanted to do, and she already guessed it.
"Are you worried I might seek revenge on you in the future?" The girl asked Mo Lin again.
Mo Lin remained silent.
His thoughts were fully guessed by this little girl.
"I won’t seek revenge."
The girl placed the yellow bead at her chest and said again, "Mother told me to let go of the grudges."
She must have known everything through the yellow bead.
Maybe Huang Shang said something to her through the bead before she died.
Qu Qing and Hou Hongfang stood behind Mo Lin at this moment.
Neither of them spoke.
Some things are not about right or wrong.
This world isn’t entirely black and white.
Goodwill?
What is that?
"I want to kill you." Mo Lin clearly expressed his thoughts at the moment.
Even if the girl in front was only seven years old, Mo Lin had to kill her.
Mo Lin remained skeptical about half of what the girl said.
Truth and lies, Mo Lin did not want to gamble on the future.
Mo Lin pinched the girl’s neck with his right hand.
The girl’s face turned bright red as tears stopped at the corners of her eyes.
She looked at Mo Lin, hatred filling her eyes.
A furious power flowed from the girl’s brow.
Yellow Ghost Qi enveloped her body.
A giant force surged up, and Mo Lin was forcefully pushed back tens of meters.
At this moment, Mo Lin’s determination was even stronger.
This girl needed to be killed.
Before Mo Lin could act.
Qu Qing leapt up, wielding Daoist Skills. A golden light appeared in his palm, and in the next moment, the light pressed forward towards the girl.
Simultaneously, Hou Hongfang moved.
Hou Hongfang appeared behind the girl, his palm aimed fiercely at her heart.
The two of them teamed up, attacking from the front and back, determined to take the girl’s life.
Even though the girl had protective powers, she was ultimately just a child.
She couldn’t resist the joint attack of Qu Qing and Hou Hongfang.
In the air... a stream of Colored Immortal Qi descended.
This Immortal Qi shielded the girl, wrapping her within it.
The methods of Qu Qing and Hou Hongfang were blocked by the Colored Immortal Qi.
"Gentlemen, this is my apprentice. Please have mercy and spare her life," an elderly man in white said slowly.
The man dressed in simple attire and cloth shoes.
A face full of wrinkles.
"Four Lives Reincarnation Immortal, Lu Haichen." Qu Qing furrowed his brow the moment he saw this man.
Hearing Lu Haichen’s name, Hou Hongfang exclaimed, "Is this the Lu Haichen who gathered Immortal Qi?"
"Yes, it’s him." Qu Qing nodded.
Gathering Immortal Qi is stepping into the first stage of cultivating immortality.
Like the Three Immortals, who possess their own gathered Immortal Qi.
"Gathering Immortal Qi is purely luck."
Lu Haichen said modestly, "Mine is just variegated Immortal Qi, nothing to be amazed by."
Though he was modest, gathering Immortal Qi was not simple.
If it were simple, everyone would be Four Lives Reincarnation Immortals.
Why hadn’t Qu Qing gathered Immortal Qi?
"Immortal Qi?" Mo Lin didn’t understand much about it.
Though he had previously heard many things about Immortal Qi, Mo Lin lacked a clear understanding.
"The strength of Immortal Qi is distinguished by color; the weakest is variegated, or Colored Immortal Qi.
Next comes pure-colored Immortal Qi, like white Immortal Qi, which is pure-colored," Qu Qing explained to Mo Lin.
Mo Lin frowned slightly, pondering a question.
"Why does the Immortal Qi of the Three Immortals sometimes appear white and other times colored?"
"That’s because the Three Immortals possess pure-colored Immortal Qi.
Using Colored Immortal Qi consumes less energy than using pure-colored Immortal Qi.
So generally, the Three Immortals would use Colored Immortal Qi," Hou Hongfang explained to Mo Lin.
Given Mo Lin hadn’t been exposed to Immortal Qi, he wasn’t thoroughly acquainted with it.
"Mo Lin, comparing me to the Three Immortals, you overestimate me," Lu Haichen humbly said, not boasting enough to align himself with the Three Immortals.
"This girl is my apprentice. She has talent and wise roots.
Please loosen your hands and grant her a chance to live," Lu Haichen gently said to Mo Lin.
"Talent? Wise roots?"
While these terms praised the girl,
Mo Lin saw them as a death warrant.
Letting the girl go today
would plant a giant danger for himself.
Qu Qing and Hou Hongfang’s faces turned gloomy upon hearing the word talent and wise roots.
That solidified their resolve to kill the girl.
Lu Haichen realized he had spoken words he shouldn’t have and instantly fell silent.
"Master, save me." The girl clung to Lu Haichen’s chest, shouting.
"Can I take my apprentice and leave?"
Lu Haichen held the girl’s hand, ready to leave.
The Cyan Cloud Sword appeared in mid-air, Mo Lin armed himself, confronting Lu Haichen.
"You may leave, but she must stay." Mo Lin’s stance was firm.
Even if the sky were falling,
he couldn’t let Huang Shang’s daughter leave alive.
Lu Haichen stayed silent, raising his right hand as colored Immortal Qi gathered behind him.
As Lu Haichen’s arm dropped, the colored Immortal Qi cascaded like a waterfall towards Mo Lin.
Mo Lin felt his body crushed by immense force.
This feeling was different from encountering Immortal Techniques.
If he were to describe it, one would be External Power and the other Inner Strength.
Just the Colored Immortal Qi bore such frightening power.
Applying this Immortal Qi to execute Immortal Techniques—even Lower Third-class Techniques—would yield tremendous destruction.
Mo Lin employed Celestial Monarch Xu’s legacy.
The figure of Celestial Monarch Xu appeared, and with one stroke, he broke the incoming colored Immortal Qi.
Hard resistance...
Mo Lin lacked Immortal Qi, relying solely on methods to resist.
Now that they’d begun, it was a fight to the death.
"Mo Lin, take his five senses," Qu Qing shouted at Mo Lin from afar.
Mo Lin instantly understood, taking out the Seasonal Coins.
"Seize the five senses!"
Mo Lin made a fist-clenching gesture.
Lu Haichen, just about to advance, suddenly halted; he lost his vision.
