Chapter 722 - 720: I Want to Become Stronger
Yu Xiu was defeated, and the Supreme Ghost-Refining Array was shattered.
All of the nearly one hundred thousand Ghosts on Spirit Island were completely liberated.
Above Spirit Island, countless Ghost Shadows appeared, filling the sky.
After this group of Ghosts appeared, they did not run wild; it was obvious they were waiting for Mo Lin to give orders.
In the distance.
Ji Kuo and Yu Xiu had been smashed into the ground.
Yu Xiu spat fresh blood; all the ribs on his body were broken.
Ji Kuo’s condition was not much better than Yu Xiu’s.
"Mo Lin... if you kill Yu Xiu, you’ll have completely offended Immortal Island." Ji Kuo threatened Mo Lin.
Before Mo Lin could speak, Chen Xi’s figure flashed and appeared in front of Ji Kuo. She raised her right hand and grabbed Ji Kuo by the neck.
Like lifting a chick, she hoisted Ji Kuo up.
Ji Kuo wanted to say something at this moment, but because his neck was being strangled so tightly, he couldn’t get any words out and could only produce muffled sounds.
Chen Xi looked at Mo Lin, waiting for Mo Lin’s command.
"Let him go." Mo Lin ordered Chen Xi.
Chen Xi nodded, waved her right hand, and flung Ji Kuo away like tossing a dead dog.
Ji Kuo was thrown dozens of meters away.
"Go back and tell that Immortal Yu not to provoke me, otherwise I don’t mind taking a trip to Immortal Island." Mo Lin let out a cold snort toward Ji Kuo in the distance.
Mo Lin was not afraid of Ji Kuo’s revenge.
At present he possessed absolute strength and simply had no fear of retaliation.
On the contrary, it should be those who wanted to take revenge on Mo Lin who needed to think twice.
Chen Xi raised her hand again, seized Yu Xiu in a death grip, and suddenly exerted force.
"Puchi..."
Yu Xiu was brutally crushed by Chen Xi into a lump of flesh and blood.
With Yu Xiu’s death.
This battle finally came to an end.
As for those who had come to Spirit Island hoping to gain some benefit, they no longer had any chance.
They had come here and personally witnessed a world-shaking battle.
Mo Lin took out an enlarged, jet-black brush.
This was the Judge’s Pen.
Mo Lin raised the Judge’s Pen in his right hand.
The Ghost Qi in all directions surged madly into the Judge’s Pen.
Tens of thousands of Ghosts all entered the Judge’s Pen at this moment.
Even Ghosts of the level of Chen Xi and Chu Xing also entered the Judge’s Pen to rest.
Ghosts needed to consume Ghost Qi.
This group of Ghosts had broken the sealing array and destroyed the Supreme Ghost-Refining Array; their own expenditure was enormous.
If the Ghost Qi they had consumed was not replenished in time, even Ghosts would grow weak.
They now needed to find a place rich in Ghost Qi to let this group of Ghosts recover what they had spent.
Beihai...
That was the most suitable place; it was connected to the Underworld, its Ghost Qi was dense.
It was most suitable for Ghosts to reside there, and likewise suitable for Ghost Cultivators to cultivate.
"Lord Mo Lin, my name is Hou Hongfang." Hou Hongfang greeted Mo Lin.
"Let’s get to know each other and be friends."
Hou Hongfang actively walked over to Mo Lin and greeted him.
The meaning was obvious: he wanted to befriend Mo Lin.
In this chaotic East District, who wouldn’t want a few reliable friends?
"Mo Lin, my name is Qu Qing, let’s get acquainted." Qu Qing, as a Four Lives Reincarnation Immortal, also wanted to get to know Mo Lin.
Mo Lin nodded, which could be considered a polite response to Qu Qing.
Yuan Minyue walked toward Mo Lin; she looked at Mo Lin, opened her mouth as if wanting to say something, but ended up looking like she wanted to speak yet hesitated.
"What is it?" Mo Lin asked Yuan Minyue.
"Um... now that you’re this powerful, could you not have Gen Family Business do such dangerous things?" Yuan Minyue braced herself and spoke to Mo Lin.
She had already prepared herself to face Mo Lin’s anger.
Even if Mo Lin blamed her, these words had to be said.
After all, Gen Family Business was the man she liked!
Her own man, of course she would take his side.
"What dangerous things?" Mo Lin looked puzzled.
He had not asked Gen Family Business to do anything dangerous.
"Even though Gen Family Business isn’t as strong as you all, he’s hundreds of times stronger than ordinary people. I beg you, please don’t let him take risks, alright?" Yuan Minyue spoke to Mo Lin in a near-pleading tone.
"What matter?" Mo Lin asked again.
Yuan Minyue’s words were a bit off and didn’t touch the main point at all.
"Letting him go fight over the Black Tortoise Seal.
The ones going to compete for the Black Tortoise Seal are all extremely powerful people.
Although Gen Family Business possesses the Nirvana Fire, he doesn’t have any advantage.
He doesn’t even know any Immortal Techniques; he can’t snatch the Black Tortoise Seal.
He’ll die." It was precisely because Yuan Minyue disagreed with Gen Family Business going to compete for the Black Tortoise Seal that she had a conflict with him.
"The Black Tortoise Seal, you mean the Shuiheng Mountain matter?"
Beside them, Hou Hongfang asked in confusion, "He went to Shuiheng Mountain?"
"Yes." Yuan Minyue nodded.
"Another one who doesn’t want his life.
Half a year ago, the Goddess Xin Ziruo went to Shuiheng Mountain and almost died in there; later she relied on her life-saving methods to barely escape.
Going to a place that’s nine deaths and one life, isn’t he just going there to die?" Hou Hongfang complained.
"What’s going on?"
The conversation between the two left Mo Lin a bit at a loss.
He didn’t know about the situation at Shuiheng Mountain.
"A year ago, a water monster appeared at Shuiheng Mountain, and there were rumors that the Black Tortoise Seal had surfaced.
That’s a genuine Immortal Magical Treasure; countless cultivators wanted to go to Shuiheng Mountain to find that treasure.
But of those who went treasure hunting, eighty percent died.
Only a few extremely powerful people barely escaped." Hou Hongfang recounted the matter of Shuiheng Mountain to Mo Lin.
Mo Lin more or less understood.
Gen Family Business had gone to Shuiheng Mountain to search for treasure.
And it was the kind of venture where death was almost certain.
Yuan Minyue had mistakenly thought Mo Lin was the one who sent Gen Family Business to Shuiheng Mountain to seek treasure.
That was why the earlier scene had occurred.
"Lord Mo Lin, let me tell you, Shuiheng Mountain is a scam.
Think about it... who spread the news that Shuiheng Mountain had a treasure?
And how did that person know there was a Black Tortoise Seal at Shuiheng Mountain?"
"Besides... how could a Magical Treasure of the Black Tortoise Seal’s level just appear out of thin air?
There’s definitely something fishy about this."
Hou Hongfang shook his head. "Some supreme treasure suddenly appearing in this world?
That’s simply impossible.
Anyone with a bit of sense wouldn’t go to Shuiheng Mountain."
"Where is Shuiheng Mountain? I’m going."
Mo Lin didn’t even need to think; he knew Gen Family Business would definitely go to Shuiheng Mountain.
"Huh..."
Hou Hongfang had never imagined that Mo Lin would actually want to go to Shuiheng Mountain.
Mo Lin now possessed ten-thousand Ghosts, and he still wanted to risk going to Shuiheng Mountain to hunt treasure?
Wasn’t that insane?
But Hou Hongfang did not say it outright. "It’s very close, I’ll take you there."
Qu Qing, at the side, also said, "I’ve heard of the Shuiheng Mountain affair as well; take me along to have a look."
So the few of them set off for Shuiheng Mountain.
Mo Lin was not going to Shuiheng Mountain for treasure; he was going to save someone.
If he could stop Gen Family Business before he entered Shuiheng Mountain, so much the better.
If he was too late, then Mo Lin would have no choice but to enter Shuiheng Mountain to search for Gen Family Business.
...
Shuiheng Mountain.
Sheets of heavy rain filled the sky.
In the past, Shuiheng Mountain had been a scenic area.
Looking out, the mountain peaks were rugged and jagged.
The rain here had been falling for a full year; it had never stopped.
The low-lying areas had all been flooded.
But something was very strange.
After raining for a year, the rainwater remained only within Shuiheng Mountain and did not spread outward.
Gen Family Business, dressed all in black, stood at the entrance to Shuiheng Mountain.
"Brother, are you really going in?" A man clutched Gen Family Business’s clothes and spoke in a low voice.
This man was Gen Family Business’s cousin.
Gen Family Business had even said that if he died, this cousin would take over the Gen Family.
"I’m going in." Gen Family Business spoke with a firm attitude.
"You’ll die."
As the cousin said this, his eyes were already reddening.
"Who doesn’t die?
Even someone as strong as Lord Mo Lin died once in the battle at Ten Thousand Peaks Mountain, didn’t he?" Gen Family Business said slowly to his cousin.
"But..." The cousin was just about to say something when he was cut off by Gen Family Business.
"I must become stronger... this is the only shortcut I can take."
"Five years ago, when the Gen Family branches fought among themselves, I couldn’t do anything; Mo Lin helped my Gen Family resolve the crisis."
"When the Jiangzhou People provoked the Gen Family, it was Mo Lin who stepped in to defuse the danger.
When I was humiliated by Mo Fengxiao, it was still Mo Lin who stood up for me.
Mo Lin has helped me again and again.
But every time he ran into danger, I couldn’t do anything.
I never want to feel that useless, trash-like feeling again."
"I must become stronger."
Gen Family Business spoke with firm resolve: "Today, even if I die here, I refuse to be a piece of trash."
He had come with the resolve to die.
