Chapter 734 - 732: Zhen Lingling’s Disciple?
Outside the door, aside from Zhen Lingling, Mo Lin couldn’t think of a second person.
Mo Lin turned and looked towards the direction of the door.
Through the door gap, he saw a woman.
This woman was tall, with a ponytail, and had a delicate appearance.
She was wearing grayish-white clothes.
She was not Zhen Lingling.
As if sensing Mo Lin’s gaze, the woman instinctively turned her head and made eye contact with Mo Lin.
"Is there a newcomer?"
Du Hongtao pushed open the door and inquired of Guo Ke.
"Yes, a batch of good seedlings has arrived." Guo Ke nodded in response.
Du Hongtao pointed her slender finger at Mo Lin and instructed, "Let him follow me."
Guo Ke pointed at Du Hongtao to remind Mo Lin, "Go on, follow your senior sister."
Mo Lin nodded and followed behind Gui Shutao.
The other people watched Mo Lin with envious eyes.
They all wished they could be the chosen one.
Gui Shutao walked in front, with Mo Lin following her.
Along the way, Gui Shutao was silent and asked Mo Lin nothing.
The two of them arrived at the rear hall.
Upon reaching the rear hall, Mo Lin sensed something unusual.
The Ghost Qi here was dense, as if it was nurturing something.
It turned out that the array that Mo Lin saw earlier was not an array to suppress Ghost Qi, but a restraining array.
It directed all the Ghost Qi of Beihai to True Martial Daoism.
The central position seemed to be a well.
The well’s diameter was about one meter.
Gui Shutao entered her room and signaled to Mo Lin, "Come in."
Mo Lin followed closely and entered the room.
The moment he entered, a rank odor filled the air.
The pungent stench suffocated Mo Lin.
This was no ordinary stench.
It was the stench of a corpse, mixed with the smell of rotting flesh and blood.
The smell made Mo Lin want to vomit.
The floor was stained with fresh blood, and possibly due to the time that had passed, the bloodstains were so old that they had turned black.
Bodies were lying around the room in disarray.
Some corpses were even rotting and infested with maggots.
And they had not been dealt with.
The room, barely over a hundred square meters, had no space left to walk.
"Your vital energy is strong. Consuming your vital blood, I will be able to stabilize my foundation and completely become a One-Life Reincarnation Immortal."
Gui Shutao showed a bizarre smile to Mo Lin.
Not giving Mo Lin a chance to speak, Gui Shutao raised her right hand.
Blood Qi surged around, instantly enveloping Mo Lin and Gui Shutao.
Gui Shutao licked her lips at Mo Lin, her expression greedy.
She chose Mo Lin purely because she sensed his vital blood was thriving.
She sensed Mo Lin’s gaze, realized Mo Lin’s vital blood was abundant, and wanted to consume Mo Lin.
"Little darling... don’t even think of running. Just obediently let me enjoy this.
I’ll make sure you die a little more comfortably." Gui Shutao’s voice was seductive.
"Hmm, I won’t run."
Mo Lin nodded in response.
Gui Shutao became a bit more cautious.
The other party wasn’t nervous at all, this cold demeanor was a bit peculiar.
Moreover, she could feel that eagerness in the opponent’s eyes.
Just as Gui Shutao was perplexed, a terrifying Sword Qi suddenly surged, interrupting Gui Shutao’s thoughts.
That sword could even directly slay Gui Shutao.
"Run.." was the immediate thought that surfaced in Gui Shutao’s mind.
"Bang!"
Just as Gui Shutao prepared to flee, Mo Lin blocked her path.
"Little darling... don’t even think of running.." Mo Lin repeated Gui Shutao’s words from earlier.
Gui Shutao’s hair stood on end.
She wanted to shout loudly.
But surrounding them was the blood-red barrier she had just set up, completely inescapable.
Mo Lin’s hand pressed down on Gui Shutao’s head.
Gui Shutao couldn’t resist Mo Lin’s grip at all.
"Bang"
Her body was slammed straight onto the floor.
Gui Shutao used all her strength to pound on the floor, trying to attract the attention of those outside.
Outside the room.
Guo Ke happened to arrive at this time, hearing the commotion from Gui Shutao’s room, feeling quite helpless.
"Gui Shutao, can’t you tone it down a bit?"
Guo Ke teased towards Gui Shutao’s room, "Don’t break the young guy."
Upon hearing the voice outside, Gui Shutao swore silently.
Who’s breaking whom?
Damn Guo Ke, bringing such a dangerous individual.
Mo Lin noticed Gui Shutao’s little movements and punched Gui Shutao hard in the face.
This punch landed on Gui Shutao’s face, distorting it.
"Who are you?" Mo Lin asked bluntly.
Gui Shutao’s nose and mouth started to bleed.
"My name is Gui Shutao.." Gui Shutao dared not make any more moves.
She felt the threat of death.
"Why do you have Zhen Lingling’s aura on you?" Mo Lin asked Gui Shutao.
Seeing the other party knew Zhen Lingling, Gui Shutao quickly said, "I’m Zhen Lingling’s apprentice."
No sooner had she finished speaking, "Bang!" Mo Lin struck her hard on the chest.
Gui Shutao sprayed blood from her mouth, her chest caved in.
"I’ll give you another chance to speak."
Mo Lin knew Zhen Lingling’s character well; she’s not someone who would easily accept disciples.
"I really am Zhen Lingling’s disciple," Gui Shutao said again.
Mo Lin raised his right hand, emitting a killing intent.
Gui Shutao quickly changed her statement: "This body is the body of Zhen Lingling’s disciple, but my soul is not.
I took over this body."
"I am a One-Life Reincarnation Immortal."
"I, Guo Ke, and Jin Xi.
We three are all One-Life Reincarnation Immortals," Gui Shutao truthfully replied to Mo Lin.
Mo Lin frowned slightly, realizing that even a One-Life Reincarnation Immortal shouldn’t be so weak.
Moreover, becoming a Reincarnation Immortal requires a foundation.
And possessing another’s body needs a ritual.
At least from Mo Lin’s perspective, Gui Shutao completely lacked this foundation.
Normally, Reincarnation Immortals have a large family to support them, along with magic to sustain the entire family.
The Gui Shutao before him, though a One-Life Reincarnation Immortal, was pathetically weak.
"We were nurtured as Reincarnation Immortals," Gui Shutao quickly said to Mo Lin, "Senior, please don’t kill me.
I was forced to kill people."
The first part Mo Lin believed, but he didn’t believe the latter half.
"It’s one thing that you know Zhen Lingling’s True Martial Ghost-Controlling Skill, but why do others also know Zhen Lingling’s True Martial Ghost-Controlling Skill?" Mo Lin asked in puzzlement.
Gui Shutao lowered her head and fell silent.
When Mo Lin asked about Zhen Lingling, she stopped talking.
"Answer me!" Mo Lin demanded sharply.
"Senior, I dare not say, I beg you, give me a way out," Gui Shutao pleaded with Mo Lin.
"If I speak, I’ll die."
"If you don’t speak, you’ll die right now," Mo Lin coldly replied.
Gui Shutao shook her head, refusing.
"Where is Zhen Lingling?" Mo Lin asked differently.
Gui Shutao still shook her head, her eyes full of fear.
It seemed she couldn’t even utter this name.
"Is Zhen Lingling still alive?" Mo Lin asked again.
"Senior, please don’t force me, I really can’t say," Gui Shutao pleaded with Mo Lin.
"Has Zhen Lingling joined the Evil Cultivators?
Are you Reincarnation Immortals nurtured by Zhen Lingling?" Mo Lin inquired in confusion.
Gui Shutao still shook her head and said nothing.
When it came to matters concerning Zhen Lingling, she refused to say a word.
It was as if, even in death, she couldn’t speak about it.
