Chapter 681 679: Only a Fool Wouldn't Run
"Senior, why did you invite me here?" Mo Lin asked a question he was very concerned about.
"Because you have a finger."
The black shadow figure responded to Mo Lin.
This was the reason he invited Mo Lin here.
As for Hong Cang and others, like Mo Lin, they possess Xu Fu's finger, which is why they were invited here.
One after another, approximately seven people arrived.
"Mo Lin?" A puzzled voice came.
Looking in the direction of the voice, he saw a young man.
This man had clear and handsome features, appearing slightly younger than Mo Lin.
Mo Lin didn't recognize this man.
Without giving Mo Lin a chance to speak, the man raised his right hand.
A terrifying Ghost Qi spread around the man.
A gourd flew into view, followed by a palm fan, and then a long sword appeared, followed by a flower basket and a flute.
As each item appeared, Mo Lin's pupils gradually shrank.
Isn't this the stuff of the Eight Immortals Ghost?
The Eight Immortals Ghost is already dead, and he was slain by Mo Lin at the Celestial Sect.
"It's no surprise you don't know me, I am Xin Ziruo's fourth disciple, Mo Fengxiao." The man volunteered his name to Mo Lin.
"Are you familiar with these things?"
Mo Fengxiao pointed at the items beside him and slowly spoke to Mo Lin: "That's right, these items belong to the Eight Immortals Ghost.
Now, these items have become mine.
Our meeting is no coincidence, I know you've obtained Xu Fu's finger, and you would be invited here."
"Enough."
A terrifying voice spread over, and the next moment, the black shadow figure instantaneously appeared in front of Mo Fengxiao.
Grabbing Mo Fengxiao's neck as if he were squeezing the life out of a dead dog.
Mo Fengxiao didn't even have the ability to resist in the hands of this black shadow figure.
It was a complete overpowering.
"No one is allowed to cause trouble on Yun Mountain, understood?" the black shadow figure coldly asked Mo Fengxiao.
Blood appeared at the corner of Mo Fengxiao's mouth, his face flushed red, he quickly nodded, "I know.."
The black shadow figure released him, and Mo Fengxiao's body heavily fell to the ground, gasping for air.
In fairness, facing this black shadow figure, Mo Lin also didn't have the confidence to defeat him.
Mo Lin even felt he wasn't a match for him.
As for the issue between Mo Lin and Mo Fengxiao, it would have to wait until they left Yun Mountain to resolve.
This is also why, even if someone knows the black shadow figure is aware of the secret of eternal life, no one causes trouble for him.
It's not that they don't want to, but they don't dare.
"Take out what you each possess," the black shadow figure slowly said to the surrounding crowd.
The things he referred to were the fingers.
Thus, everyone took out their fingers.
Mo Lin, like the others, took out the finger he obtained at the border before.
The black shadow figure lightly raised his finger.
The patterns on the ground were instantly activated.
Jet-black lightning surged from the ground and then rushed into the clouds.
Mo Lin instantly felt his head spinning, at this moment, he felt like the world was upside down.
This was the first time Mo Lin had seen black lightning.
Those fingers were now all converging towards the center.
Mo Lin's stomach churned, at this moment he genuinely felt the world had turned upside down.
It wasn't that Mo Lin was physically weak, but this feeling was indeed very bizarre.
Mo Lin even felt like vomiting.
In the distance, half of Hong Cang's body melted into liquid, then quickly recovered.
He was evidently greatly affected too.
Then they saw a dark figure hanging upside down in the sky.
This was the figure of an old man wearing a robe and having long hair.
The old man opened his palm, then stabbed it into his chest, before violently pulling.
A hole appeared in his chest.
"I invited you here because you possess the key to awakening Xu Fu.
The black shadow figure pointed to the tunnel-like hole in the white-haired old man's chest and slowly said, "Here lies the secret of eternal life.
How much you can obtain depends on your abilities.
With benefit comes danger, this is both your opportunity and your calamity.
Whether you choose to venture in or walk away, it's up to you."
With that, the black shadow figure directly stepped into the hole before him.
The surrounding crowd didn't hesitate for a second and rushed into the hole.
They came for the secret of eternal life.
Just as the black shadow figure said, to them, this is an opportunity.
As for eternal life, it's something even the Evil Buddha pursues.
Only Mo Lin hesitated.
To say Mo Lin has no interest in eternal life is impossible.
To say Mo Lin lacks greed, even less likely.
But Mo Lin is afraid of dying in there, he has too many things to do, Mo Lin cannot die.
Why should a colossal opportunity fall into Mo Lin's lap?
Mo Lin doesn't believe he has such stupidly good luck.
Especially after meeting Xu Xiaoxiao, Mo Lin understood he's not invincible.
Too many are stronger than him.
After weighing the pros and cons, Mo Lin decided not to go in.
Even if there truly is a secret to eternal life inside, Mo Lin won't be tempted.
Mo Lin turned around, ready to leave.
"Rustle..."
A gust of strong wind blew.
It made Mo Lin's hairs stand on end.
"Killing intent?"
Mo Lin frowned. This wasn't just any wind; it was the concentrated wind of murderous intent.
Soon after, a silhouette appeared right in front of him.
It was a woman.
Her hair was loose, draped over her shoulders, and she wore clothes like a gray nightgown.
Her hair covered her face, concealing her features, but she felt like a beauty.
No need to ask, it was obvious she had come to kill Mo Lin.
This murderous intent wasn't concealed at all,
Mo Lin frowned tightly, complaining, "Who wants to kill me this time?"
Previously in the South District, chased by Fairy Yunxia, and now back in the East District, it's all enemies?
"If I kill you, I'll be free." Shang Xun said coldly to Mo Lin.
"Do we have a grudge?" Mo Lin asked in confusion.
"No."
"Have I offended you?"
"No," Shang Xun replied coldly again.
"Then why do you want to kill me?" Mo Lin asked with a frown.
"Only when you die will the grudge between me and my sister be resolved."
As soon as the words fell, Shang Xun raised her right hand.
As her palm lifted at that moment, a gust of wind appeared.
In her palm, golden flames surged, raising the ambient temperature abruptly.
Mo Lin glanced at the spot where the shadowy figure disappeared.
That shadowy figure had said that no one was allowed to fight on Cloud Mountain.
But now that figure was off chasing the secret of immortality, surely not returning to restrain this madwoman before him.
Mo Lin could only brace himself.
Mo Lin's Qingyun Sword swung out, its Sword Qi clashing with the golden flames.
The Sword Qi was instantly swallowed.
Mo Lin's face grew increasingly serious, realizing that the madwoman before him wasn't using ordinary flames.
It was the True Samadhi Fire.
Though Mo Lin possessed the Netherworld's Nether Fire, he felt that his Netherworld's Nether Fire was definitely not as formidable as the madwoman's True Samadhi Fire.
The next moment, the True Samadhi Fire pounced toward Mo Lin.
With lethal intent in each move, Mo Lin dared not be careless.
Mo Lin immediately employed the Jingming Evil-slaying Swordsmanship technique, the third move, "Jingming."
Just as Mo Lin used "Jingming" in an instant,
a streak of purple and blue Immortal Qi rushed toward him.
"Jingming" was immediately broken.
One move shattered Mo Lin's Jingming Evil-slaying Swordsmanship.
This move of Jingming, even a Reincarnation Immortal found it tricky to handle.
Yet the madwoman before him broke it in one stroke.
"Immortal Qi? Purple and blue?"
Mo Lin immediately linked this madwoman with Fairy Yunxia.
Even without much experience, Mo Lin recognized it as Ziqing Immortal Qi.
Shang Xun was entirely focused on killing Mo Lin.
And immediately used two major trump cards.
Mo Lin quickly raised his sword, a man dressed as a scholar appeared behind him, swinging his sword to fend off the Ziqing Immortal Qi.
"Splat!"
The Ziqing Immortal Qi hit Mo Lin's chest, causing him to cough up blood.
Luckily, Mo Lin reacted quickly, invoking the inherited power of Celestial Monarch Xu just as he was about to be struck.
Only then did he barely manage to block one move.
No match!
With True Samadhi Fire and Ziqing Immortal Qi everywhere, every move was lethal.
Mo Lin understood the gap between himself and the opponent was vast.
He was not a match for this woman before him.
Even summoning Nvwa, he was not her match.
She was like a reincarnated deity.
More like a descendant of Fairy Zixia than Fairy Yunxia.
Mo Lin clearly saw that she had a silver bell bracelet on her wrist.
Even with toes, he could tell that it was on the same level as the Purple and Blue Treasure Sword, "Silver Rope Gold Bell."
She hadn't even used that trump card item yet.
Unlike Mo Lin, this woman had fully mastered these items.
Whereas Mo Lin, having just understood Celestial Monarch Xu's inherited power, hadn't fully mastered it.
This was the gap between Mo Lin and Shang Xun.
Moreover, she gave Mo Lin the feeling of trading life for life.
Mo Lin couldn't afford to be seriously injured, as he still had to battle Mo Fengxiao and absolutely couldn't be heavily injured.
After a simple analysis of the pros and cons, Mo Lin decided to flee.
A wise man doesn't suffer immediate losses, so Mo Lin turned and ran.
"Don't run," Shang Xun shouted angrily at Mo Lin's back.
Mo Lin inwardly complained, calling oneself a fool if not running.
Only a fool wouldn't run."
