Chapter 866 - 857: Disappeared Without a Trace

Chapter 866: Chapter 857: Disappeared Without a Trace

As Mo Lin revealed his Netherlord Realm strength, Li Mei and the others all clearly understood who he was.

A Ghost Cultivator, and one at the Netherlord Realm.

This identity was just too easy to recognize.

In the entire South District, there was only one Ghost Cultivator at the Netherlord Realm.

As Mo Lin released the aura of the Netherlord Realm.

Li Mei and the others all cast admiring gazes toward him.

"Nether Qi?"

Yu Qing’s expression changed drastically. The moment he sensed the Nether Qi, a chill shot from his heels straight up to his crown.

"Netherlord Realm?"

"In a place like this, how can there be someone this powerful?" Yu Qing roared unwillingly.

Looking at the Immortal Coins scattered all over the ground, and the unknown opportunities.

He couldn’t begin to describe how unwilling he felt.

So many treasures, but... they didn’t belong to them.

"Go." Yu Qing ordered the two beside him.

Just as his voice fell, he quickly left with the other two.

Mo Lin raised his hand, Nether Qi gathered in midair, condensing into a massive palm.

Then the palm came crashing down toward the three of them.

"Boom..."

The three of them only possessed pure-colored Immortal Qi; there was no way they could block this palm from Mo Lin, they couldn’t even dodge.

A deep pit appeared in the ground, and the three were slapped to death by Mo Lin in one strike.

Three clumps of blood and flesh lay in the pit.

Mo Lin then resumed his battle with the headless Buddha body.

While fighting the headless Buddha body, Mo Lin had simply split off a hand and casually killed Yu Qing and the other two with a single blow.

This was the difference in strength.

Li Mei subconsciously swallowed.

By this time, her upper body was already soaked with sweat.

Even her hair was drenched.

This was from being scared when she was facing Yu Qing and the others earlier.

Just now she had even thought she would be executed by Yu Qing and his group.

Yet she hadn’t expected that with just one follow-up strike, Mo Lin would end the lives of those three.

This was the gap.

At this moment, Li Mei finally couldn’t hold on anymore and dropped to her knees.

Her gaze was fixed firmly on Mo Lin in the distance, who was battling the headless Buddha body.

Her eyes were filled entirely with worship.

In this moment, in her eyes, Mo Lin was not only overwhelmingly powerful in strength.

Whether it was his state of mind or his breadth of heart, both indirectly proved Mo Lin’s might.

Mo Lin was currently fighting the headless Buddha body.

"Ghost Technique!"

Mo Lin unleashed his Lifebound Ghost Technique; pitch-black Nether Qi gathered into a jet-black gate.

The gate slowly swung open.

A gust of ghost wind instantly swept out.

"Clatter, clatter."

The ghost wind shrouded the headless Buddha body.

Then it scoured the torso of the headless Buddha body.

Swept up by the ghost wind, the headless Buddha body lost its ability to move.

As the ghost wind washed over it, the headless Buddha body finally revealed a flaw.

A crack appeared at the junction of its torso, and Mo Lin drove the golden longsword to slash toward its torso head-on.

He then disassembled the headless Buddha body.

With the headless Buddha body gone, the threat was no more.

Only then did Mo Lin dare to take further action.

Mo Lin immediately walked to where the headless Buddha body had been standing before, bent down, and picked up the glowing bead on the ground.

In the distance, Li Mei and the others watched Mo Lin pick up the bead and said nothing.

Everyone here was sharp.

Of course they could tell that bead was a treasure.

Naturally, with this bead going to Mo Lin, none of them had any objections.

After all, without Mo Lin, they would already be dead.

In fact, Mo Lin had vaguely guessed earlier that this might be a Relic.

But the moment he obtained the bead, he realized it wasn’t a Relic.

"Wind-Fixing Bead · Replica, can be used once.

Effect: Break Ten Thousand Arts."

A line of text appeared before Mo Lin’s eyes.

Mo Lin’s heart gave a fierce jolt; the three words "Break Ten Thousand Arts" made his breathing quicken.

Even though it could only be used once, this ability was simply heaven-defying.

Mo Lin put away the bead, then looked around.

All around were ruined scenes; there wasn’t anything good.

With this headless Buddha body destroyed, that eerie feeling vanished immediately.

Mo Lin picked up an Immortal Coin and examined it.

Perhaps because he had destroyed the headless Buddha body, those strange rats didn’t dare come out.

No strange rats were lured out.

"Senior, may we pick up these things on the ground?" Qiao Xi asked Mo Lin respectfully.

This attitude gave Mo Lin more than enough respect.

Mo Lin nodded slightly. "You can."

With Mo Lin’s permission, Qiao Xi and the others finally dared to collect the Immortal Coins.

As for the bead and the Kasaya that Mo Lin had obtained, they had no extra thoughts about them.

Mo Lin walked over to Yu Qing and the others, absorbed their pure-colored Immortal Qi, and condensed two Immortal Coins.

This area was about the size of a football field.

The most valuable thing was that bead in Mo Lin’s possession.

Roughly five-plus hours passed.

Qiao Xi, Li Mei, and the others finally stopped.

They had searched everywhere they could.

They hadn’t found any more treasures.

In total, the group had found five hundred and seventy-six Immortal Coins.

No one hid anything.

They took out all the Immortal Coins and placed them in front of Mo Lin.

Waiting for Mo Lin to speak.

Qiao Xi, Liuer Mingxi, and the others all stared at Mo Lin eagerly.

Obviously, they were waiting for Mo Lin to divide the Immortal Coins.

"Split them evenly," Mo Lin said slowly.

Mo Lin had already taken enough benefits and had no intention of being greedy.

Hearing that Mo Lin said to split them evenly, Qiao Xi’s face lit up with joy.

"Many thanks, Senior."

At this moment, she finally understood what a true powerhouse was.

Mo Lin was not only strong in power; even his temperament was something ordinary people could not compare to.

Qiao Xi and the others allocated one hundred and twenty Immortal Coins to Mo Lin.

They gave Mo Lin a few extra Immortal Coins.

The remaining Immortal Coins they divided among themselves.

With so many good things in hand, everyone had smiles hanging at the corners of their mouths.

After that, everyone left this ruin.

Back at the Six-Eared Race, Liuer Mingxi handed the Kasaya and the Magic Staff to Mo Lin.

Mo Lin touched the Kasaya and the Magic Staff, and the information about them appeared before his eyes.

"Buddhist Kasaya, possesses defensive capability."

"Magic Staff. Drives out evil, calms souls."

To Mo Lin, these two items were dispensable.

The Kasaya did have defensive power, but worn on the body, it hindered movement.

There were drawbacks.

As for the Magic Staff that drove out evil and suppressed ghosts, that was even less necessary.

So Mo Lin simply gave these two items to Liuer Mingxi.

The Da Li Dynasty.

"Borrow lifespan for longevity, reincarnate through the wheel of life.

The immortal great path, Magic of the True God."

The Emperor of Da Li, dressed in a pitch-black Dragon Robe, stood there, muttering to himself.

Kneeling before him were three princes and one princess.

Cui Xinyun was also standing at his side.

"A person lives but a few decades, no more than a hundred years, and in the end becomes dust."

Then the Emperor of Da Li turned his gaze to Cui Xinyun and slowly said, "You’ve now met Mo Lin, and you’ve also taken your revenge.

Everything that needed doing has been done.

It’s time to fulfill your promise.

When will you set out?"

"I want to stay with him a few more days, then set out for the East Sea," Cui Xinyun said slowly.

"Fine," the Emperor of Da Li agreed readily.

This was the agreement she had made with the Emperor of Da Li back then.

She would offer up her Immortal Fate, then serve as State Preceptor of the Da Li Dynasty, and then make a trip to the East Sea to kill an Immortal Master.

That Immortal Master was the Emperor of Da Li’s teacher.

It was said he had mastered Magic, with methods that reached the heavens.

This trip to the East Sea was a nine-deaths-one-life venture.

Cui Xinyun had no complaints about this; it was her transaction with the Emperor of Da Li.

Since it was a transaction, naturally she had to carry it out; resentment simply did not apply.

.....

Mo Lin was currently with the Six-Eared Race, routinely absorbing five Immortal Coins a day.

Cui Xinyun took the initiative to seek out Mo Lin and went with him to stroll around the South District.

The two of them were quite happy along the way.

Night fell...

A crescent moon hung in the sky.

In the pitch-black sky, the stars twinkled.

Moonlight spilled down onto Mo Lin and Cui Xinyun.

The two of them were sitting side by side at a riverside.

Cui Xinyun propped her chin in her left hand, looked at Mo Lin, and said slowly, "I’ve taken care of everything.

Now I can finally relax."

All her grudges and debts had been completely settled.

"Why don’t we find a place to live in seclusion?" Cui Xinyun said to Mo Lin in a half-joking tone.

Mo Lin hesitated. He’d also almost finished dealing with his own matters.

Only Xin Ziruo’s matter was still unresolved.

"Once I’ve killed Xin Ziruo..." Mo Lin hadn’t finished speaking when Cui Xinyu cut him off.

"Forget it, forget it... I’m just teasing you."

Cui Xinyun lifted her head to look at the crescent moon in the sky and slowly said, "Human strength is ultimately limited.

Life has an end."

The two of them had gone through far too much together in the East District.

From the descent of Evil Spirits to the present, when the Evil Spirits had been completely wiped out.

From the chaotic age of the Evil Buddha to the destruction of the Evil Buddha.

Now only a few Evil Spirits were left struggling on in dire straits.

Mo Lin was usually quite sharp, yet in this moment he couldn’t quite understand what Cui Xinyun was trying to say.

Cui Xinyun suddenly turned her head to look at Mo Lin, then showed two rows of white teeth.

"If I died, would you miss me?

Would you be very sad? Grieved?"

Mo Lin’s heart gave a sudden jolt. "What’s wrong?

What happened?"

"Nothing. I just suddenly thought of how everyone dies sooner or later, and got a bit sentimental."

Moonlight poured over Cui Xinyun’s face; in that moment, she was extraordinarily beautiful.

Her originally fair cheeks were flawless under the moon’s glow.

Cui Xinyun reached out and gave Mo Lin a hug, then stood up and patted the dust from her clothes.

"I’m off. I’ll make a trip back to the Da Li Dynasty, then come find you in a few days." With that, Cui Xinyun turned and left.

That night... in Mo Lin’s mind there was only that one sentence from Cui Xinyun.

"Find a place to live in seclusion?"

Mo Lin tilted his head back, staring at the ceiling, and muttered, "My business is about to be wrapped up. By then I can find a place and live a pastoral life.

When the time comes, I can call over friends like Gen Family Business and Yun Xue’xue; we can all live a normal life together."

No need to be so exhausted, no need to stay tense with constant killing and fighting.

Thinking this, a trace of impatience rose in Mo Lin’s heart.

He had to find Xin Ziruo as soon as possible.

As long as Xin Ziruo lived, Mo Lin’s heart could not rest.

So Mo Lin had the people of the Six-Eared Race investigate Xin Ziruo’s whereabouts as quickly as possible.

For these few days, Mo Lin did not leave the Six-Eared Race.

Cui Xinyun had said she would come find Mo Lin in a few days.

Mo Lin waited a week, but still Cui Xinyun never came looking for him.

It was as if she had suddenly disappeared, leaving no trace at all.

A slim figure rushed into the courtyard in a panic from outside the door. "We’ve found Cui Xinyun’s trail. She went to the East Sea and has not yet returned.

I heard she went to the East Sea to fulfill her promise to the Emperor of Da Li."

....

The East Sea.

Cui Xinyun’s white clothes had been soaked through with blood.

She staggered as if drunk, trying to leave the East Sea.

Cui Xinyun had, as promised, executed that Immortal Master.

To slay that Immortal Master, she’d paid an excruciating price.

She traded a body full of wounds for the other party’s life.

Her agreement with the Emperor of Da Li could be considered fulfilled.
