Inside the Ancient Dao palace, Wang Lin walked toward the palace surrounded by thousands of people. The sigh of his teacher, Xuan Luo, echoed in the sky. A few breaths before his teacher's sigh entered his ears, far outside the Ancient Dao imperial city, there was a strange scene inside a bare mountain.
The inside of the mountain was completely hollowed out, but not even the divine sense of a Grand Empyrean could see anything wrong. There was a giant formation inside the empty mountain. This formation was extremely complex, and just looking at it would cause one to feel dizzy.
The formation gave off a white light that flickered endlessly. It gave off a strange feeling, and at the center of the formation sat a blurry figure. This figure was surrounded by seven-colored light, and as he sat there, his hands constantly formed seals and occasionally hit the formation.
Just as the seven-colored figure landed, a shadow appeared on the formation. This shadow was a miniature version of the Ancient Dao palace.
There were countless black and white specks of light within the miniature palace that was spread out on the formation. There were more than 210,000 black specks of light, but compared to the white specks, they were still inferior. The white specks of light occupied almost the entire miniature palace, and it seemed like they were constantly increasing.
In particular, there were nearly a thousand white specks of light densely packed together in the middle of the square and the hall. They surrounded a single red speck of light. This speck of light was surrounded by a bloody aura, and it was motionless.
"Black represents death, white represents vitality … This red … is Wang Lin … Wang Lin, we are forcing you again!" A hoarse voice came from the blurry figure covered in seven-colored light.
"The Old Man extracted her … soul fragment and gave it to the Ancient Dao Emperor. He did as I thought and went to find a body to fuse with her soul to make her his empress … And you, as I expected, came to the Blessed Dao palace … Kill, the more you kill, the better it will be for the Old Man!"
The seven-colored blurry figure seemed to be smiling, but when he said the words "soul fragment," his voice trembled slightly. However, in an instant, it returned to normal. When he lifted his right hand, a layer of white light shone, and when he lifted his hand, a layer of black light filled the area. Once these two lights appeared, the seven-colored light around him turned into the color of power!
At the same time, a strand of grey gas appeared out of thin air and surrounded the nine-colored figure. This caused the light to become L-colored!!
"The grey body that was condensed from the cave world has now reached greater mastery …" The blurry figure muttered with a hoarse and ancient voice.
This grey gas was formed by the ghostly light that not even Grand Empyrean Xuan Luo had noticed when Wang Lin left the cave world!!
"It's a pity that I'm … limited by the fact that I can only absorb the death aura from the Wang Tree's slaughter. Otherwise, with my help, I would be able to gather the required amount of death aura in a very short period of time.
"I can …" The figure paused twice, as if he was limited by something and was afraid of what he could achieve with enough death aura. He didn't even want to speak clearly.
"I'm very satisfied with Wang Lin's slaughter in the cave world, but after coming to the Immortal Astral Continent, he has killed very little in the celestial land. If not for this, the Old Man would have gathered the required amount much faster and there would have been no need to use the Ancient Dao's trump card … Fortunately, I was well prepared for Lan Nian and took out her … Zhang Soul ahead of time."
When the blurry figure mentioned the word "her" again, his voice also trembled and he fell silent.
After a long time, there was a flash of coldness in the blurry figure's eyes.
"Since I've chosen to do this, there is no need to be afraid. At worst, my mind will be erased, but once I finish …" The blurry figure trembled in excitement.
"The Old Man has prepared for so many years, he will not fail!
First, draw out the palace's death aura! "
The blurry figure suddenly raised his right hand and pointed at the huge formation on the ground, at the miniature of the imperial palace.
With that, all of the black dots trembled and became much dimmer, as if they were about to be absorbed by the formation. However, in the blink of an eye, the fading black dots bounced back as if they were enveloped by a force. In an instant, they became solid again, as if they were unable to be absorbed by the formation.
"They …" The expression of the figure shrouded by the 10-colored light changed and he exclaimed.
At this moment, in the Ancient Dao imperial city, the sigh came from the sky and Wang Lin suddenly stopped. He seemed to have forgotten that he was in danger, forgotten that the 36 Fiends were closing in, and forgotten that the Ancient Dao Emperor was tens of thousands of feet away.
The red light in Wang Lin's eyes gradually dissipated and the madness and ferociousness in his eyes were replaced by bitterness as he faced the familiar figure in the sky.
He knew that his teacher would come, and he knew that his teacher would stop him. That was why he didn't give any explanation when he arrived at the Ancient Dao imperial palace. He wanted to kill Emperor Dao Ji and take away Li Muwan before Xuan Luo arrived.
Wang Lin had clearly seen the Ancient Dao Emperor's thoughts and behavior from the jade the Great Soul Sect's old ancestor had left behind. He had even heard what the Ancient Dao Emperor had said before the bed.
Combining all of this, when he first came to the palace, the Ancient Dao Emperor had asked Song Zhi to come up and toast him. This behavior was similar to Wang Lin's behavior, so how could Emperor Dao Ji not see it? He had only done this because he was immersed in the pleasure of controlling a pair of dao companions.
That was why after Wang Lin understood all of this, he let out a heaven-shaking roar. He was going to kill Ye Dao, kill the Dao Radiance Emperor!
He had considered hiding this anger and calmly entering the palace to take Song Zhi away. However, a dragon had a reverse scale, and if he couldn't bear to touch it, could it still be called a reverse scale?
He had also attacked before the three clans when the Ancient Dao Emperor wasn't paying attention. This behavior seemed right, but in truth, it was several times more serious than the current EC!
This was an assassination!
With his identity, even if he was just breaking into the palace, it could be seen as him being filled with rage and losing his mind.
However, if he was able to sneak in and assassinate, it meant that he was very calm. Doing such a thing with a calm mind would cause irreparable harm to Xuan Luo. Wang Lin understood the cause and effect, so he wouldn't do such a thing.
Wang Lin would not choose to do such a thing. He wanted to take away Wan Er's soul and kill the Ancient Dao Emperor. The only thing he had to consider was his teacher's feelings … "Venerable 9 Coin …" Wang Lin clasped his hands and bowed at the person in the sky. He didn't get up but continued to bow. Even though the 36 Fiends were taking this opportunity to close in on Wang Lin with killing intent, the 36 Fiends took this opportunity to close in on Wang Lin.
In the sky, Xuan Luo's figure walked out. He looked at Wang Lin and his face seemed to age a lot. He raised his right hand and waved at the earth below.
With this wave, the 36 Fiends coughed out blood and were knocked back in terror. Aside from them, the other Ancient Dao members of Wang Lin's four eagles were all knocked back by the wind. This caused Wang Lin to be the only one within 10,000 feet of him, motionless.
Lord Xuan, Wang Lin has broken into the palace to steal my empress. He is so rebellious to be Lord Xuan's disciple. I hope Lord Xuan … "
When the Ancient Dao Emperor saw Xuan Luo appear, his eyes lit up. He sneered and took a few steps forward.
However, before he could finish speaking, Xuan Luo suddenly turned around in the sky.
"Scram for this lord!!"
Emperor Dao Ji's body trembled and he coughed out blood and retreated a few steps. He looked at the blood he coughed out and revealed a look of disbelief. He didn't expect Xuan Luo to dare to injure him!!
Just as he was about to speak, he saw the killing intent and hidden anger in Xuan Luo's eyes. He sucked in a breath of cold air and swallowed his words. His expression was gloomy, but he didn't dare to speak again.
"Grand Empyrean Xuan Luo …" The father of the Ancient Dao Emperor, the old man in the royal robe who had lost his right arm, let out a sigh and bowed at Xuan Luo.
"This child disrespects the imperial power, but the Old Man knows that as the guardian of my Ancient Dao, Grand Empyrean Xuan Luo, will be fair. After all, this person has killed tens of thousands of powerful people of my Ancient Dao and damaged my Ancient Dao's vitality. This is unforgivable!!"
Old man Dao was much smarter than the current Emperor. He focused his words on the fact that Wang Lin had killed too many people.
Xuan Luo silently pondered as he looked at Wang Lin. His eyes were filled with pain and sorrow, along with confusion. He looked even older as he looked at his disciple. His lips trembled, but he couldn't speak.
After a long, long time, Xuan Luo took a deep breath and softly said, "Why …"
Wang Lin let out a sigh. He raised his head and looked at Xuan Luo with a complicated expression. He couldn't repay Xuan Luo's kindness, and he didn't want to disappoint Xuan Luo.
"Teacher … Don't be angry."
Wang Lin raised his right hand and hit his chest. He coughed out a large mouthful of blood and waved his right hand. The blood spread out and fused with the blood on the square, giving off a monstrous blood light. Countless drops of blood flew across the square and gathered together. With Wang Lin's blood as the guide, bodies formed out of thin air.
Every one of these bodies belonged to people Wang Lin had killed.
Back then, with Ye Mo's cultivation level, he could form the descendants of ancient gods, ancient demons, and ancient devils in the cave world with just a few mouthfuls of blood. Now Wang Lin had Ancestor Mang's soul blood and obtained a secret spell from the inheritance. He could do the same, and he was countless times stronger than Ye Mo.
The bodies appeared one by one. There were tens of thousands of people, and not a single one was missing. After their bodies formed, all the blood on the ground was gone. Wang Lin's face was pale as he spread out his hands. Tens of thousands of souls flew out and fused with their respective bodies.
Wang Lin had indeed killed tens of thousands of people, but he had only destroyed their bodies and taken their souls. However, his cultivation level was too high, so no one noticed this.
Xuan Luo was his teacher, so how could he do something that would make Xuan Luo sad!?
