Chapter 858: Chapter 853: Fear and Accountability (4,000 Words, 2 Chapters)

The turmoil between Mo Lin and the Emperor of Da Li has come to an end.

The looks directed at Mo Lin by those around him grew increasingly complex.

The eyes of disdain now carried a hint of admiration.

Mo Lin set out for the South District’s Jingming Daoism.

.....

The news of Jiang Kun, a disciple of Jingming Daoism, being dead quickly reached back to Jingming Daoism.

Upon hearing that Mo Lin had killed Jiang Kun, several important figures within Jingming Daoism were furious.

Inside the Ninth Generation Disciple Palace.

"This Mo Lin is truly too arrogant, he must be severely punished."

"Exactly, we must discipline him," another man chimed in.

At this moment, a disciple rushed in flustered from outside the door.

"Teacher, something has happened," the disciple reported to Qu Ling, panting heavily.

"What is with the panic? Speak up, what has happened?"

Qu Ling snorted coldly, "Speak, what happened?"

"Gen Family Business has disappeared," the disciple reported timidly.

"What?" Qu Ling shrieked like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

"Wasn’t Gen Family Business locked in the basement?

His limbs were sealed, he couldn’t move, how did he disappear?

Did he grow wings and fly away?"

The disciple bowed his head, timid to the point of being speechless, fearing Qu Ling’s fury.

"How did he disappear? Who all went to see him?" Qu Ling pressed further.

"Tang Qingqing saw him," the disciple answered truthfully.

Upon hearing this, Qu Ling’s expression turned grim.

"It must be Tang Qingqing who took him away.

She is, after all, our Daoist Master of Jingming Daoism, actually working for an outsider.

If we find her, we must strip her of her Daoist Master status."

Qu Ling scolded the surrounding disciples: "Stop standing still, go find them quickly."

Everyone then went looking immediately.

Tang Qingqing was taking Gen Family Business away from Jingming Daoism, heading east along the back mountain path.

This direction led to the Empire of Da Li.

Tang Qingqing heard that Mo Lin was in the Empire of Da Li.

So she intended to take Gen Family Business to the Empire of Da Li.

As long as they reached the Empire of Da Li, Gen Family Business would certainly meet Mo Lin.

With Mo Lin’s protection, Gen Family Business’s life could at least be preserved.

Gen Family Business was weak, struggling to walk.

The two rested by the roadside.

A sword light slashed down upon them.

Tang Qingqing instinctively swung her sword, also unleashing a sword strike.

The two sword lights collided.

Tang Qingqing frowned, looking at Qu Ling who had appeared ahead.

Not only had Qu Ling come.

A group of high-ranking disciples had also arrived.

Gongsun Yan, Ye Lian.

Upon discovering Tang Qingqing, the group quickly dispersed to surround her and cut off her escape.

"Tang Qingqing, hand over the person, and we won’t trouble you," Ye Lian coldly stated to Tang Qingqing.

Tang Qingqing frowned.

She had already decided to help Mo Lin, there was no turning back.

"In a moment, I’ll hold them off, you find a way to escape," Tang Qingqing softly said to Gen Family Business beside her.

Gen Family Business slumped to the ground, revealing a bitter smile.

"Forget it, there’s no need to run. Perhaps death is a form of release for me."

He didn’t want to burden anyone else.

Gen Family Business knew that even if Mo Lin came, he might not be able to save his life.

The full force of Jingming Daoism was here.

After all, Mo Lin was alone.

To wipe out the entire Jingming Daoism single-handedly?

How could that be possible!

"Don’t do anything foolish. Once Mo Lin arrives, you’ll have a chance at life," Tang Qingqing reminded Gen Family Business.

Gen Family Business shook his head, slowly saying: "Even if Mo Lin comes, he can’t save me.

Two fists can’t fight against four hands, he can’t overpower all of Jingming Daoism."

Gen Family Business wasn’t underestimating Mo Lin.

He was simply stating the facts.

The cold, hard reality.

Tang Qingqing hesitated.

She didn’t know how to comfort Gen Family Business.

After all, what he said made a lot of sense.

At that moment, a black figure emerged from the distant woods.

Mo Lin, hearing the sounds of battle, came over to see what was going on.

He happened to encounter Tang Qingqing, Gen Family Business, and the others.

"Who says I can’t save you."

Mo Lin said calmly to Gen Family Business, "You’re underestimating me."

"Mo Lin..."

At the sight of Mo Lin, Gen Family Business’s eyes brimmed with tears.

A hint of emotion flickered across his calm face.

"I’m sorry, I’ve troubled you again."

Self-blame.. Gen Family Business fell into deep remorse.

If he hadn’t been useless.

This scene wouldn’t have unfolded.

Mo Lin glanced at Gen Family Business, the killing intent in his eyes growing stronger.

His cultivation was wasted, he was missing a toe, and his body was covered in injuries.

He was clearly tortured.

"You don’t need to worry, just leave quickly.

Jingming Daoism set up an array just to deal with you," Gen Family Business remembered something and quickly reminded Mo Lin.

"Array?"

"Yes, it’s an array sealing Celestial Monarch Xu’s legacy.

This array prevents you from using the Celestial Monarch Xu’s legacy," Gen Family Business explained again.

Upon hearing this, Mo Lin smirked coldly.

If it were any other array, perhaps Mo Lin would have some concerns.

But this particular array did not intimidate Mo Lin at all.

"Don’t be afraid, I’ll handle everything," Mo Lin reassured Gen Family Business, patting him on the shoulder.

Tang Qingqing slowly stepped forward, speaking to Mo Lin: "I’ll help you."

Her help would at least increase Mo Lin’s chances of winning.

And if they couldn’t win, they could still escape.

"Thank you."

Mo Lin said to Tang Qingqing, "I can handle it myself."

Seeing Mo Lin’s firm stance, Tang Qingqing furrowed her brows, filled with confusion.
