Chapter 769 - 767: Yun Xue’xue, Luo Xiaoxiao
The Star Constellation Snake Immortal raised her brows slightly.
None of Mo Lin’s few friends were easy to deal with.
Any one of them alone could stir up waves in the East District.
If those people gathered together, they could overturn the whole East District.
The only thing unclear was whether Mo Lin’s friends would actually come.
At this moment, Mo Lin was sitting upright on the ground.
This pitch-black square great cauldron had actually birthed flames.
Finger-thick tongues of flame emerged from the pitch-black copper surface directly in front of him.
The flame was like a venomous snake, coiling toward Mo Lin’s arm.
Mo Lin flicked his hand, wanting to shake off this wisp of flame.
But this flame clung to him like maggots on a bone, twining around Mo Lin’s arm.
No matter how he flung his arm, he couldn’t shake it off.
Mo Lin stirred his Ghost Qi and extinguished the flame on his arm.
The next instant, another wisp of flame appeared beneath Mo Lin’s feet.
Immediately after, more and more flames began to appear.
Countless flames densely surrounded Mo Lin’s body.
These flames, like venomous snakes, pounced toward Mo Lin.
Mo Lin condensed Ghost Qi to block the flames.
He didn’t know how long had passed when a single wisp of flame, without his noticing, slid along his abdominal wall and poured into his body.
Just as Mo Lin was about to drive this wisp of flame out of his body, something strange happened.
The flame circled within Mo Lin’s body, and actually began fusing Mo Lin’s Ghost Qi with that strand of Divinity from the True Monarch of Pure Origin and Profound Dao.
As for the exact principle, Mo Lin had no idea.
In any case, this was a good thing.
Originally, Mo Lin had been worried that the Ghost Qi in his body and that strand of Divinity from the True Monarch of Pure Origin and Profound Dao would reject each other.
Now that this flame was doing the fusing, Mo Lin could even completely command that strand of Divinity from the True Monarch of Pure Origin and Profound Dao.
Of course... Mo Lin did not grow careless.
He cautiously refined the flame.
Mo Lin was no fool; he could naturally see it clearly.
This flame should be intended to refine whatever was trapped inside this great cauldron.
Most likely, Feng Qu wanted to refine him into a pill.
If used properly, this flame could only benefit Mo Lin, not harm him.
....
Jiangzhou..
It was clearly summer, yet the weather was exceptionally cold.
So cold it made people shiver.
They practically wanted to wrap themselves in padded jackets.
It gave people the feeling of winter.
Cold to the bone.
A woman dressed in pure white clothes.
The road she walked over froze with a thick layer of frost.
She walked in front, and behind her the sky was snowing.
She seemed like an immortal maiden who had walked out of a painting.
Snowflakes filled the sky, drifting down behind her.
The sight was breathtaking.
Directly in front of this woman, it was the scorching heat of summer.
Behind her, snow filled the sky.
The ground was iced over.
The lush green flowers, grass, and trees all around were frozen solid.
The direction this woman was heading was Jiangzhou, the Jiang Saint Hall.
Another direction in Jiangzhou.
A woman dressed in light purple clothes.
This woman’s features were pure and delicate, her eyes bright and beautiful.
In her fair palm she held a jade oil lamp.
The green lamp flame glowed with a faint light.
Wherever she passed, the surrounding trees, flowers, and grass all withered and died.
As if the lamp in her hand had the power to snatch away life itself.
The woman raised her head and looked straight ahead.
It was obviously summer, yet up ahead it was abnormally cold.
This chill hung in the air like knives.
The woman’s right hand tightened around the Divine Lamp in her hand, and she strode forward.
"No matter who the other side is, as long as they’re an enemy, she’ll eliminate them."
On the other side.
The woman in snow-white clothes furrowed her brows slightly.
She likewise sensed a strange aura spreading ahead.
That aura seemed capable of taking all lives.
"This is the enemy?
This is the person who trapped Mo Lin in the Jiang Saint Hall?" The woman in white quickened her steps and walked to the front.
When she was about a kilometer away from the other side, the woman in white made her move.
She spread open her palm.
Bone-piercing cold surged forth, spreading toward the front; wherever the chill passed, everything was frozen.
At the same time, a faint gray light flared in front.
The light drove back the icy aura of the woman in white.
"Courting death!"
The woman in white snorted coldly, her figure leaping up as she raised her hand, ready to unleash her methods.
Just as she was about to strike, the instant she saw the other party’s face, she froze.
"Luo Xiaoxiao?"
Likewise, a crisp voice came from the other side.
"Yun Xue’xue?"
They had thought it was an enemy, yet it turned out to be an old acquaintance.
Both of them withdrew their techniques.
"I heard you ran into danger in the South District."
Luo Xiaoxiao stepped forward and hugged Yun Xue’xue, then said, "As long as you’re all right."
"We haven’t seen each other for just a short while, and you’ve grown quite capable!" Yun Xue’xue praised Luo Xiaoxiao.
Though it was praise, Yun Xue’xue truly felt that the current Luo Xiaoxiao was no weaker than she was.
The two of them meeting here was clearly no coincidence.
"I heard Mo Lin was trapped in the Jiang Saint Hall, so I came to look for him."
Yun Xue’xue asked Luo Xiaoxiao, "You’re here for the same reason?"
Since they had run into each other here, they were clearly harboring the same thought.
"Yes." Luo Xiaoxiao nodded in answer.
The two of them exchanged smiles, then set off in the same direction.
The Jiang Saint Hall.
At this moment, the Star Constellation Snake Immortal was staring dazedly at the pitch-black square great cauldron in the distance.
She was hesitating over whether or not to make a move to rescue Mo Lin.
How to rescue Mo Lin?
In what way to rescue Mo Lin?
The Star Constellation Snake Immortal was mulling these things over in her mind.
Just then, a surge of bone-piercing chill swept over.
The clear sky suddenly began to snow.
Snowflakes fell over the entire Jiang Saint Hall.
Immediately after, another wave of biting cold swept in, and the ground froze rapidly.
Then it spread throughout the Jiang Saint Hall.
At the end of the road.
Two female figures came into view.
One woman in snow-white clothes walked on the left.
The other woman, dressed in purple, held a jade lamp in both hands.
This bone-piercing cold made even the Star Constellation Snake Immortal feel chilled.
Seeing who had come, she immediately knew who they were.
Mo Lin’s good friend, Yun Xue’xue.
As for the other person holding the lamp, she didn’t know her identity.
Upholding the principle that whoever caused trouble should be the one to resolve it.
The Star Constellation Snake Immortal shouted toward the distance.
"Lord Feng Qu, we have visitors."
Her respect toward Feng Qu wasn’t because Feng Qu himself was powerful.
It was solely because the force behind Feng Qu was immense.
That was why she treated him with such deference.
Feng Qu appeared in front; the moment he sensed the other side’s aura, his brows furrowed slightly.
He hadn’t expected that in the East District, aside from those under Xin Ziruo’s faction, there would actually be someone this formidable.
Before he came, he’d never heard that the East District had such an expert.
"May I ask what business you have here?" Feng Qu asked Yun Xue’xue.
"Are you the one who captured Mo Lin?" Yun Xue’xue’s tone was icy as she questioned Feng Qu.
Feng Qu’s expression changed in an instant, his smile fading.
The other party was clearly here because of Mo Lin.
"It doesn’t really count as capturing Mo Lin..." Feng Qu tried to explain to Yun Xue’xue; halfway through his sentence, he was cut off.
"Yes, or no." Yun Xue’xue interrogated him coldly.
The chill radiating from her clearly grew thicker.
The cold around them was as frigid as her expression.
She cast a cold glance at the Three Immortals and said icily,
"Anyone unrelated to this matter, get lost."
The Star Constellation Snake Immortal showed an extremely awkward expression.
Helplessly, she waved her hand and backed away.
