Chapter 727 - 725: Execution
The phrase "take your life while you’re sick" is vividly embodied at this moment.
Mo Lin was physically weakened by the Possession Seal, and immediately someone came to stir up trouble.
Such coincidence, isn’t it?
About thirty people stood right in front, all clad in traditional blue Daoist robes.
One glance and you could tell they were Daoists.
Leading the group was a middle-aged man, whose brows and eyes were as clear and straight as he walked at the forefront, full of vigor.
Upon seeing him, everyone instinctively felt he was the leader there.
"I am from Jingming Dao, a tenth-generation disciple, Guo Feng."
Guo Feng voluntarily revealed his name.
Mo Lin had visited Jingming Daoism and even caused some trouble there.
The fact that he brought thirty or so people suggested he had some status among the tenth-generation disciples.
"What do you want?" Mo Lin asked Guo Feng coldly.
Squinting, Guo Feng stepped forward, "Brother Mo Lin, I came to discuss something with you."
Guo Feng lowered his voice, seemingly friendly.
"What is it?" Mo Lin inquired of Guo Feng.
Guo Feng raised his hand towards Mo Lin and said, "I’m here to reclaim what belongs to my Jingming Daoism."
"What thing?" Mo Lin was puzzled, as he owed nothing to Jingming Daoism.
Guo Feng spoke slowly and clearly, "Celestial Monarch Xu’s inheritance."
Following his words, an indescribable tension permeated the air.
"You are not a disciple of my Jingming Daoism, yet you have stolen Celestial Monarch Xu’s inheritance.
I came to demand Celestial Monarch Xu’s inheritance from you; is that too much to ask?"
To put it nicely, demanding Celestial Monarch Xu’s inheritance; to put it bluntly, it’s seizing Celestial Monarch Xu’s inheritance.
Celestial Monarch Xu’s inheritance was already part of Mo Lin’s power.
Having Mo Lin hand over Celestial Monarch Xu’s inheritance was akin to flaying him alive.
Not giving Mo Lin a chance to speak, Guo Feng spoke again.
"I’m ordered to ask you for Celestial Monarch Xu’s inheritance; please don’t make it difficult for me."
For Guo Feng to appear so confident, his backing was likely from the ninth-generation disciples.
Jingming Daoism’s ninth-generation disciples had significant influence.
Who was the person behind this, and why did they want Celestial Monarch Xu’s inheritance from Mo Lin?
No matter the reason, Mo Lin wasn’t interested.
"Celestial Monarch Xu’s inheritance is mine; nobody’s getting it."
Mo Lin coldly said to Guo Feng, "Get lost..."
Guo Feng furrowed his brow, "Refuse a blessing?"
"Take action."
Guo Feng gestured to the disciples behind him, signaling them to move.
Over thirty disciples leaped, holding long swords.
These people swung their swords, their auras combining to form Dao Qi.
This wasn’t ordinary Dao Qi.
It was Evil-Slaying Dao Qi, decisively killing Evil-Slaying Dao Qi.
The greater the number, the stronger the Evil-Slaying Dao Qi.
Evil-Slaying Dao Qi, comparable to Immortal Qi.
This was the foundation of a major school.
Even Three-system Immortal Cultivators would be wary.
At least they’d be easily suppressed.
"Mo Lin, now that you’ve been marked with the Possession Seal, your cultivation has been entirely consumed.
Don’t be ignorant.
Surrender Celestial Monarch Xu’s inheritance, and I assure you no harm will come to you.
If you refuse to hand over Celestial Monarch Xu’s inheritance, you’ll die here."
"Die?"
Mo Lin seemed to have heard the funniest joke.
"When I had no ghosts, you provoked me once; now I have thousands of ghosts guarding me, you still provoke me.
Do you truly think my ghosts are soft targets?"
"Chu Xing." Mo Lin called out.
A wave of dark Ghost Qi surged forth, and Chu Xing stood beside Mo Lin.
"Kill them." Mo Lin commanded Chu Xing.
Without hesitation, the moment Mo Lin finished his command.
Chu Xing charged straight at the Jingming Daoism disciples.
Regardless of his ability to win, he charged right away.
The Daoist skills naturally restrained ghosts.
And Chu Xing wasn’t as strong as Chen Xi; in a single exchange, he was pushed back by the Evil-Slaying Dao Qi.
His right arm was instantly melted.
Subsequently, Chu Xing used Ghost Qi to repair his arm.
Mo Lin summoned Chu Xing not expecting him to win.
It was simply to train him.
"Mo Lin, are you out of your mind?"
Guo Feng taunted Mo Lin, "Using ghosts to counter Daoist skills?
Don’t you know Daoist skills restrain ghosts?"
Guo Feng looked at Mo Lin as if he were an idiot.
"Bing Yu." Mo Lin called out.
Bing Yu’s white figure appeared, her right hand raised, directly employing Ghost Skill.
The ground quickly froze, and a chill engulfed Guo Feng and the others.
Evil-Slaying Dao Qi surged again, scattering Bing Yu’s chill.
Bing Yu raised her right hand, using Ghost Skill once more, the chill converged in the air, forming ice blades slashing at the Evil-Slaying Dao Qi.
Evil-Slaying Dao Qi, like a hungry tiger, broke Bing Yu’s Ghost Qi.
"Hong Ye.." Mo Lin called out again.
A red-clad female ghost instantly appeared.
The female ghost opened her hands, using Ghost Skill.
The ground turned blood-red, covering Guo Feng and the others like a tide.
Evil-Slaying Dao Qi sharply slashed, breaking Hong Ye’s Immortal Ghost Skill.
"Mo Lin, don’t you understand human words?"
Guo Feng taunted Mo Lin, "Even if you summon a hundred ghosts, a thousand ghosts, you’ll not win today."
It’s Evil-Slaying Dao Qi.
Can it simply be broken by ghosts?
Jingming Daoism’s millennium foundation, unable to defeat a few ghosts?
Mo Lin remained silent as Bing Yu, Chu Xing, and Hong Ye,
The three ghosts battled again.
They didn’t gain any advantage, constantly trending toward defeat.
Of course... Mo Lin didn’t expect the three ghosts to win.
This battle was just a training exercise.
The fight lasted for about a dozen minutes.
Chu Xing, Bing Yu, and Hong Ye, the three ghosts were about to be beaten to Scattered Soul, reaching their limits.
At that moment, Mo Lin finally made a move.
"Can’t win with a thousand ghosts, what about ten thousand ghosts?"
Mo Lin raised his right hand, Ghost Qi surged into the sky.
Countless Ghost Shadows appeared.
These ghosts stared at Guo Feng like hungry wolves.
Their eyes glowed green.
In their eyes, these Daoists were great nourishment.
By consuming them, they could increase their strength.
Under Mo Lin’s command, they were not attacking humans, but that didn’t mean they couldn’t harm them.
The bright sky was instantly shrouded by Ghost Shadows.
Guo Feng’s relaxed expression disappeared instantly.
This information is wrong!
Before coming, no one told him that Mo Lin could command ten thousand ghosts!
Evil-Slaying Dao Qi was powerful, innately restraining ghosts.
But how could it restrain over ten thousand ghosts?
Guo Feng looked at Mo Lin with eyes as if he were facing a monster.
At this moment, he even doubted Mo Lin was human.
The Possession Seal had already drained Mo Lin’s power.
Mo Lin could summon over ten thousand ghosts; this was too outrageous.
"Kill them."
Mo Lin waved his hand and commanded.
Over ten thousand ghosts charged at the thirty-plus Jingming Daoism disciples.
The ghosts at the forefront were immediately injured by Evil-Slaying Dao Qi.
As the leading ghost was about to be dispersed by Evil-Slaying Dao Qi, it quickly retreated, and another ghost swiftly replaced it.
When this ghost couldn’t hold on, another ghost filled in.
Evil-Slaying Dao Qi was powerful, but it couldn’t stand against a multitude of ghosts.
The thirty-odd disciples could barely defend themselves.
"Retreat." Guo Feng commanded.
If they didn’t retreat, they would die here.
At this moment, Chu Xing was the first to break through the Evil-Slaying Dao Qi.
At the cost of half his body, he forcibly shattered the Evil-Slaying Dao Qi.
At this moment, it was like a hole had been broken through a door or window.
The ghosts charged into the crowd.
They tore at the Jingming Daoism disciples.
Chu Xing’s right arm pierced through a Daoist’s chest.
Blood gathered.
He took a big bite of the person’s body.
This was also a way to replenish Ghost Qi.
As for the other ghosts, they shared in the spoils.
