Chapter 77: It Hurts; Kill the Holy Son First

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Name: Mo Lin

Race: Human

Gender: Male

Cultivation base: Dao Seed Realm

Background: Holy Son of Yinmo Sect

Relationship: -55

Innate talent: Ten Stars (Dark Devil Body)

Status: He initially wanted to fight with Tian Ci, but little did he expect that he would be defeated by Zi Linglong. However, he was not disheartened. He kept a close eye on the Jiuyang Sect, and then he noticed that the Jiuyang Sect was not powerful at all. After everyone left the Jiuyang Sect, he was going to ask his guardian to ambush and abduct Zi Linglong to become his cauldron. If he succeeded, he would become stronger than his peers.

Jiang Ming’s killing intent surged after he read Mo Lin’s status.

“I’ll let you live until nighttime. It’s not the right time yet.”

Swoosh!

The Human Paths Record flipped.

Name: Yue Cheng

Race: Human

Gender: Male

Cultivation base: Dao Seed Realm

Background: First Seat of Zhiyang Peak (Note: He’s actually an Elder of the Yinmo Sect)

Relationship: -1

Status: He was already taken aback by the fact that Zi Linglong could defeat Zhou Tian, the 18th Prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and now he was even more frightened after witnessing Zi Linglong defeat so many geniuses. He was worried that she would kill him in one slash if he busted himself.

‘D*mn it! Should I stay here, or should I run away? Maybe I should turn myself in? Do I still have a chance to redeem myself? No, no, I don’t! Should I tell the Holy Son about me? No, it doesn’t work either. He doesn’t know my existence at all. If I go straight up to him recklessly, I will be done for if he refuses to acknowledge me or I expose myself! Sigh, this is really hard.’

Jiang Ming lifted his brows. He was going to leave him aside first. After all, since he already knew Yue Cheng was a mole, it was better to keep him alive than kill him since he could get some information about the Yinmo Sect from him.

“Senior Brother!” Zi Linglong threw herself at him after she saw everyone out.

Jiang Ming opened his arms subconsciously and secured her tightly in his embrace. However, he couldn’t stop the momentum and nearly fell to the ground.

Before his back could touch the ground, an invisible energy barrier appeared behind him and saved him from the fate of falling to the ground.

Lying on top of him, Zi Linglong asked, “Are you hurt, Senior Brother?”

“Just like what you said earlier, you nearly crushed me,” Jiang Ming replied as he tousled her hair.

“You should be grateful that I didn’t go all out on you, Senior Brother. Anyway, are you hurt?”

“You nearly broke my spine.”

“Hehe, don’t worry. I can heal you right away!”

“Hmph! Get off me now!”

“No!”

“I’m going to spank you!”

“No, you’re not!”

Smack!

In the afternoon, Gu Hai returned and announced, “Ming, I’ll leave the affairs of the peak in your hands. Linglong, you’re going to assist your Senior Brother.”

“What about you, Master?” Jiang Ming asked in surprise, “Are you going to discuss your life and dreams with First Steam Yin Yue?”

“Ahem! Ahem!” Gu Hao took a big gulp of wine and said, “I’ve been busy my whole life. It’s time for me to take some rest. Once you’ve ascended into the Purple Mansion Realm, I’ll make you the First Seat. As for Linglong. Well, we need to give her some space and time to cultivate.”

“So you’re going to dump your responsibility on us?” Jiang Ming exclaimed.

“I’m leaving now,” Gu Hai said as he flew into the air. “I’ll leave everything here in your care. I’ll come back from time to time, so make sure you clean my room every now and then!”

“This old man!” Jiang Ming shook his head. “Is he seriously going to pursue a woman in his current age?”

“Who knows?” Linglong chimed in. After that, she turned around and chirped happily. “Senior Brother, does this mean that we’ll be the only ones on the mountain? And no one will bother us anymore?”

“Yeah!”

“That’s awesome!”

The joyous times were always short-lived.

After they finished their dinner, Jiang Ming was rewarded with one month’s worth of cultivation base. He then absorbed it into his sea of consciousness, and it marked the end of the day.

Just like what they usually did, they sat on their chairs and watched the starry sky until midnight.

“You should go back to your room and get some rest.”

“Senior Brother, I don’t need rest anymore in my current realm. Let me keep you company. If you want to cultivate, I’ll be your guard.”

“Be good.”

It took Jiang Ming a lot of effort to convince her to go back to her room.

At midnight, in his room…

Jiang Ming activated his formation, left a decoy behind, and departed quietly.

The mountain ranges were shining beautifully under the starry sky and moon.

At the edge of Hai Province, there was a valley. It was quiet there as it was surrounded by a formation. Although it looked like there was nothing from outside, there was a massive altar in the center of the valley. The altar was engraved with a dense amount of crimson devilish patterns as if it was burning.

Mo Lin was standing at the center of the altar.

“Everything is ready, and all I need is a missing piece,” Mo Lin said excitedly as he stood with his hands clasped behind him and looked into the sky.

“Even if the phoenix bloodline cannot help me in my transformation, it can enhance my physical body and bring my strength to a whole new level. Once it’s done, I will obtain the Light-Dark Body. I only need to absorb Tian Ci, and I’ll have the power to conquer the world!” said Mo Lin as a bright future was presented before his eyes.

Suddenly, someone appeared in front of him.

“Who are you?” Mo Lin shouted in surprise when he saw the man. However, he soon calmed down and started his attack. The altar gave off a bright red light, and runes began to appear throughout the valley.

“Who are you? How did you find it here?” Mo Lin asked, his face stern. “I didn’t expect someone could enter my formation without me knowing anything. Could it be that you’ve mastered the Dao of Spatial?”

The person was none other than Jiang Ming.

After getting here, he teleported himself into the formation. To prevent Mo Lin from recognizing him, he even changed his appearance.

“Who am I? I’m the one who came to take your life!” Jiang Ming replied as he summoned the middle-grade Sky Rending Sword in his hand. He swiped it down and performed the Slice the Heavens sword technique, which was one of the Qingyun Sect’s special abilities.

He imbued the special ability with the Dao of Great Demolition, which further enhanced its attack output to a shocking degree.

Sword energy appeared and shattered the formation. The runes were falling from the sky one after the other, and even the altar slowed down as it couldn’t handle the attack.

“Reverse Demon Mirror! Counter!” Mo Lin reacted swiftly when he realized something was not right. A pitch-black demon mirror appeared from his body and emitted an eerie light.

It was a top-grade artifact that could reflect any attack.

However, when the sword energy fell, the Reverse Demon Mirror was cut in half and dropped on Mo Lin.

Bam!

Light burst forward as the nine layers of protective barriers on Mo Lin’s battle armor shattered. He was then sent flying through the air with blood spilling out of him.

‘He survived that hit? Well, considering that he has two defensive armors with his Dark Devil Body and protective special ability, it’s not surprising that he can survive that.’

Jiang Ming was not surprised. After all, Mo Lin was a Holy Son. Not only was he equipped with defensive artifacts, but he also had cast formation on himself.

However, he was still nearly reduced to a bloody pulp by that attack.

“Slice the Heavens!” Jiang Ming did not give him any chance to take a breath and launched another attack on him.

It slashed through the akasa and destroyed everything in its path.

“No!” Mo Lin shouted, “Master, save me!”

Pfft!

Mo Lin couldn’t stop the attack without his defensive artifacts and was cut in half.

He was dead.

Rumble!

The altar crumbled, and the formation shattered, causing the surrounding mountains to shake and crack as if an earth dragon was rolling on the ground. Just when Jiang Ming was about to leave, a palm appeared above him.. The starlight disappeared and darkness enveloped him, plunging him into absolute darkness.
