Mortals: The Daily Life of Hidden Moon Sect

Chapter 693

It turned out that the foreign object that had just invaded his body was forcibly suppressed by him using his true energy and successfully expelled from his body.

This was also because his cultivation had greatly improved and his Brahma True Demon Art was close to the realm of great perfection, otherwise it would have been impossible to accomplish this task.

After he spewed out the gray-white ball of light, his body naturally returned to normal.

Lin Mo pointed lightly at the silver flame without hesitation.

Suddenly, the Soul-Devouring True Fire surged up from the golden giant hand and wrapped the light ball inside.

The golden hand disappeared silently into the air with a flash of light.

The gray-white ball of light flickered several times in the silver flames before eventually turning into nothingness.

At this moment, Lin Mo slowly turned his head and fixed his gaze on the ground several feet away from him, where lay a bloody and horrible corpse.

Looking at the tragic scene in front of him, he sighed helplessly. Although he still couldn't understand what kind of disaster Xiang Zhili had encountered that caused an evil creature like Blood Shadow to hide in his body, there was no doubt that the human body lying on the ground was Xiang Zhili himself.

What is even more surprising is that, judging from the strange changes on Blood Shadow's face, it seems to have successfully merged Xiang Zhili and Hu Lao Mo's soul into one.

If the crying soul, which had not yet fallen into a deep sleep, had not suddenly shown unusual restlessness when he first saw Xiang Zhili that day, causing him to be alert, he would probably have found it difficult to notice the abnormality of "Xiang Zhili".

Even if this "Xiang Zhili" does have problems, as long as he doesn't take the initiative to provoke him, Lin Mo doesn't intend to spend energy to resolve the matter.

However, this "Xiang Zhili" showed an attitude of harbouring evil intentions during the two consecutive contacts.

Lin Mo naturally had murderous intentions in his heart, so he went to the appointment as scheduled.

However, since he was not sure whether there was really a problem with "Xiang Zhili", he chose to wait for the other party to take action.

Lin Mo, who was on guard, naturally had enough confidence to resist Blood Shadow's conspiracy after his successful cultivation in Guanghan Realm.

In fact, even if he had not used the Golden Body and the Soul-Devouring True Fire just now, there were still many ways to break the current predicament and easily destroy this evil creature.

After all, the physical strength of Xiang Zhili, who was possessed by the blood shadow, was far from that of Lin Mo. Even if the blood shadow self-destructed Xiang Zhili's body and absorbed most of its essence and blood, he would not be able to display too many magical powers.

Lin Mo stood there quietly, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

Xiang Zhili, as the most powerful human in the human world, ended up in such a miserable end, which is really lamentable. Did he and Hu Laomo really encounter misfortune in the space node?

Or was it only after entering the spiritual world that he was invaded by the blood shadow and his physical body was taken over?

If it is the latter, it is undoubtedly more regrettable.

He sighed deeply again, then gently waved his sleeves towards the ground.

Suddenly, a burst of blazing flames gushed out like a raging tide. Wherever the firelight illuminated, the fragments of flesh and blood naturally turned into a wisp of green smoke and dissipated into nothingness.

And the so-called "Giant Spirit Talisman" turned into a cloud of dust and disappeared when the blood shadow disappeared.

At first, seeing that the gray-white light was so powerful, Lin Mo wanted to conduct some research and exploration, but now it seems that he has to make other plans.

Then, without staying here for too long, he grabbed the surrounding mountains and the void a few times.

In an instant, there was an imperceptible fluctuation in the air around the mountain, and then more than a dozen colorful lights rushed out, flashing and disappearing into his sleeves.

It turned out that these were the dozen or so formation flags he had released before!

The simple magic circle formed by these flags is just a simple magic circle used to simulate the fluctuations of spiritual energy.

The moment "Xiang Zhili" reached the top of the mountain, he had already quietly activated the magic circle and cleverly concealed the aura of the fierce battle just now.

Although this place is more than a hundred kilometers away from Fujiao City, some beings in the city are still able to observe the situation here.

With the cover of this simple magic circle, although it is impossible to completely conceal the traces of this struggle, it can at least prevent high-level beings from perceiving the full picture of the incident too clearly.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Mo's figure suddenly leaped up and turned into a dazzling green light. After circling around the top of the mountain, he quickly flew towards the direction of Fujiao City with incredible speed.

Not long after, a team of patrol soldiers quickly arrived here from another direction to start searching. However, after a careful search of the peak, they did not make any noteworthy discoveries and had to leave the scene helplessly.

After returning to his residence in Fujiao City, Lin Mo went straight into his room. He decided to reduce his outdoor activities as much as possible before that.

In the next ten days, the three seniors, Qianjizi, Qingyangzi and Ziyangzi, successfully delivered the remaining missing materials to Lin Mo in batches by sending special personnel. They indeed demonstrated a noble quality of keeping their promises.

Lin Mo naturally accepted all these gifts without hesitation.

After a long wait of a month, Lin Mo finally walked out of his residence and rushed straight towards the highest mountain in Fujiao City.

It is rumored that several of Fujiao City’s most important buildings are hidden inside this mountain, and some little-known secrets are also preserved.

After half an hour of climbing, the entire mountain suddenly shook violently, and a huge beam of light burst out from somewhere deep in the mountain and shot straight into the sky.

However, after only a few flashes, the huge beam of light disappeared without a trace.

Although this phenomenon caused a commotion among some foreigners nearby and aroused their strong curiosity, they talked about it for several days.

However, as time went by, people gradually forgot about this matter, and were still busy with their own affairs, living an ordinary but fulfilling life. At the same time, in a hidden place on another continent extremely far away from the Thunder Continent, a pillar of light also appeared rising into the sky, and then, after the pillar of light dissipated, a figure appeared in the center of a huge magic circle.

Located in the vast territory of Fengyuan Continent, there are countless unknown ferocious beasts and mysterious creatures living in the vast land. In addition, there are some areas with steep terrain and harsh environment. Even if a high-level cultivator accidentally enters them, there is almost no possibility of survival.

Every year, the number of cultivators of various races who die in the wilderness is so large that it is impossible to accurately count them. However, despite facing such huge risks, countless cultivators still set foot in the wilderness without hesitation in order to obtain the precious resources and the tiny opportunities in the wilderness.

The human race lives on the edge of Fengyuan Continent. Compared with several powerful races on the continent, they are relatively weak. Even compared with several neighboring races, they do not have a clear advantage. Fortunately, they have formed an alliance with the equally powerful demon race to jointly resist external threats. At the same time, the three realms and seven lands of both sides have been placed under powerful restrictions by their respective ancient masters to ensure safety.

Apart from Tianyuan City, there is no other way to reach the territory of the two tribes, which allows the two tribes to rest and recuperate in peace and gain a foothold in the spirit world to this day. Tianyuan City has therefore become an important stronghold regarded as the lifeline of the two tribes, with a large number of elite troops stationed there, and an independent Tianyuan Elders Council, which is responsible for the defense of the city.

The Elders' Council is small, with only ten members, but all of them are strong men above the Fusion Stage. Once an elder dies, a new Fusion Stage demon will be selected from the two tribes to join the Council to maintain the balance of power. It is precisely because of such strict protective measures that Tianyuan City is impregnable and indestructible.

Therefore, whether it is a human cultivator or a demon cultivator, if they want to enter the wild area, they must pass through Tianyuan City, the only passage. As for ordinary cultivators, in order to avoid risks, they usually only move within a one-month travel range from Tianyuan City. If they encounter extremely vicious ancient beasts or other dangerous situations, they still have a chance to return to Tianyuan City for protection.

Of course, there are also some practitioners who are confident of their magical powers and dare to venture deep into the hinterland of the wilderness. However, doing so will undoubtedly greatly increase the probability of falling.

At this moment, above a lake in the wilderness, several human cultivators were in a life-or-death dilemma. Four human cultivators, two men and two women, were being tightly trapped by a huge ancient beast with a unique shape in the lake.

This monster has a majestic body like a sea turtle, but it has more than ten limbs on its back that look like octopus tentacles.

The dancing was like a violent storm, stirring up dense shadows and forming a giant net that was difficult to shake, forcing the four strong men in the air to be tied up and squeezed into one place.

Although these four people possessed profound magical powers and had all reached the level of spiritual transformation, the many treasures they controlled also emitted dazzling light.

However, no matter how sharp they were, like flying knives or swords, or how heavy they were, when they hit the tentacles, they would bounce back mercilessly, and would not be able to penetrate the solid giant net at all.

If it weren't for a middle-aged man in a Confucian scholar's robe driving a silver Ruyi-shaped magical weapon.

If they had used extremely clever methods to resist most of the power of the giant net of tentacles, then the original defenses of the four people would probably have been completely destroyed, leading to their death.

However, even so, the four still felt exhausted and sweaty, and seemed unable to hold on any longer.

"Brother Huo, please release the Extreme Thunder Pearl immediately. We must fight a final, life-and-death battle."

The Confucian scholar had already realized the seriousness of the situation, so he shouted loudly to another person next to him.

"Not feasible. Although the Extreme Lightning Orb is powerful, if it is released in such a narrow space, I'm afraid even we ourselves will be implicated."

Another ugly strong man in red armor suddenly changed his expression and answered.

"Of course I understand this. But the situation is urgent now, and I can't care about so much. This stone turtle has an amazing cultivation level of the initial stage of refining emptiness. My Bailing Ruyi can't hold on for too long. If we continue to sit back and do nothing, even if we want to fight, we will lose the chance."

The Confucian scholar's tone was firm and resolute, showing his courage and determination.

Hearing this, the red-armored sturdy man's expression changed again, but he was still a little hesitant.

The tentacles of the ancient beast were waving faster and faster, the sounds of wind and thunder could be faintly heard, and the tremendous power coming from the giant net also increased a lot.

The sky full of white light transformed by Yu Ruyi gradually dimmed after several fierce collisions, and the protective circle had to be reduced by almost half again, leaving the four people with only their backs to resist the tentacles' attack.

All this wiped out the last bit of hope left in the red-armored strong man!

He clenched his teeth, raised his right hand suddenly, and a blue round bead the size of an egg appeared in his hand.

This round bead emits a brilliant blue light, and its surface is covered with intricate blue patterns, giving people an extremely mysterious feeling.

When they saw the sturdy man actually take out the blue round bead, the faces of the other two female practitioners changed.

In their hurry, one of them began to mutter to herself and waved her sleeves at the same time. More than ten high-level talismans shot out like arrows from a bow, turning into layer after layer of light curtains that tightly protected the four people.

The other woman raised her hand, and a small black bell flew out of the air.

The small bell quickly expanded in the air, and after a slight "dang" sound, a layer of faint black light poured down like a waterfall, enveloping everyone as well.

The scholar made up his mind and spat out several mouthfuls of blood.

Every time he exhaled, his face turned paler, and then he quickly clicked his fingers a few times.

These essences and blood flashed with strange light and finally merged into the Ruyi in the air.

The originally dim Ruyi spiritual light suddenly shone brightly at this moment, and the white light glow that emerged instantly became extremely thick.

Seeing that his companions were fully prepared, the sturdy man in red armor no longer hesitated, and with a slight shake of his wrist, he sacrificed the blue round bead.

Among the four men, the man in the scholar's robe was covered in blood and one of his arms was missing.

The clothes of the other three companions were equally torn and their faces were as pale as paper. It was obvious that they had all been seriously injured.

Fortunately, none of the four of them lost the ability to fly, and with the help of the flickering light, they still fled at an astonishing speed.

A moment later, the air currents in the sky spread out, and then a dazzling blue light disappeared in an instant.

Looking at the giant turtle-like ancient mythical beast, it appeared that more than ten tentacles had disappeared completely, with only a few barely left, but they were also charred and dilapidated.
