"I've told you everything I needed to say, give me a way out." Yao Chen said to Mo Lin.

"I can let you die painlessly."

As Mo Lin's words fell.

Yao Chen's body exploded on the spot, a cloud of blood mist dispersed in the air.

Just like that, Yao Chen died.

If not for encountering Mo Lin, the ones who should have died were Qin Yuyu and Han Hui.

The exchange just now was heard clearly by both Qin Yuyu and Han Hui.

A group led by Tang Wuqi should be causing trouble everywhere at this moment.

"Come back to the city center with me, we need to join forces against Tang Wuqi and his people." Han Hui spoke in a commanding tone to Mo Lin and Qin Yuyu.

Qin Yuyu didn't speak, her gaze was fixed on Mo Lin, as if asking for his opinion.

"I need to return to the Pure Origin and Profound Dao Hall."

Mo Lin had no interest in dealing with others.

His current aim was to first return to the Pure Origin and Profound Dao Hall to check on the situation, other matters could wait for later.

Qin Yuyu pointed to Mo Lin and said to Han Hui, "I will go with Mo Lin."

Even though Han Hui was the manager of Xu Yue City, there was no need to obey his orders.

After all, the two of them were not under Han Hui's jurisdiction.

"Alright then." Han Hui replied helplessly.

He then set off back to the city center.

Meanwhile, Qin Yuyu left with Mo Lin.

"Mo Lin, can you come with me to see my master first?" Qin Yuyu was worried her master might encounter danger.

"Sure." Mo Lin agreed readily.

On the way to the Pure Origin and Profound Dao Hall, they passed by the residence of Qin Yuyu's master.

Previously, Qin Yuyu's master had helped Mo Lin resolve a little trouble.

Consider it a kindness towards Mo Lin.

Qin Yuyu and Mo Lin set off.

.....

At this moment, Qin Yuyu's master was fighting with a group of men dressed in black uniforms.

These people surrounded him.

Thirteen people surrounded Qin Yuyu's master.

Qin Yuyu's master held a Talisman in his right hand, struggling to fend off these people.

"Who are you?" Qin Yuyu's master questioned these people.

"We are the Evil Cultivators!"

"People of the Lin Shi Group." the young man leading them answered slowly.

This man looked young but was actually very old.

He maintained his youthful appearance primarily through extending his life by killing.

To these people, humans were like animals, akin to pigs and dogs.

"I didn't expect that the Lin Shi Group would show up." Qin Yuyu's master exclaimed.

The name Lin Shi Group was something he had heard of before.

A force consisting of gathered Evil Cultivators.

"Let me ask one more question, why are you people here in Xu Yue City?" Qin Yuyu's master asked again.

"Tang Wuqi made a deal with our Lin Shi Group, we're helping him against the Dao practitioners of Xu Yue City."

"Old man, knowing so much, you can go die now."

Wang Qiu roared, then charged at Qin Yuyu's master again.

Several others joined in the attack.

The people before him were not using Dao Power but life force.

They were Evil Cultivators, their practice involved stealing the life force of living people and converting it into their own.

Their Cultivation Techniques consumed life force.

Just like evil spirits.

While Mo Lin and others consumed Dao Power, these people consumed life force!

They were powerful, each had at least over five hundred years of life force, some even more.

A casual move cost dozens of years of life force.

Qin Yuyu's master only had thirty years of Dao Practice, he was no match for these people.

Tangled up by these dozen people, he could not break free.

"I'll fight you to the end!" Qin Yuyu's master shouted.

Then his body seemed to catch fire, emitting flames.

"Celestial Corpse Ghost!"

Qin Yuyu's master uttered as his body trembled.

Invoking the ghost.

His skin turned ink-black.

Wang Qiu delivered a heavy punch to Qin Yuyu's master's chest.

The punch felt as though it hit an iron wall.

Not only did it not injure Qin Yuyu's master, but Wang Qiu himself was also pushed back more than a meter.

"All together now!" Wang Qiu ordered the others around.

These people all attacked Qin Yuyu's master.

Master Qin's summoned Celestial Corpse Ghost wasn't particularly combat-capable.

Its main advantage was high defense, able to withstand many attacks.

He only had this one ghost, all other powerful ghosts were given to his disciple.

Master Qin knew he wouldn't be able to hold out much longer.

At most, after ten more minutes, he would meet a tragic end at the hands of these people.

Just as Master Qin fell into despair.

An unexpected event occurred.

A swath of pitch-black flames, like a tidal wave, surged in from the front.

The black flames enveloped all the individuals in front of him.

Mo Lin emerged from the black flames.

"Senior, are you alright?" Mo Lin greeted Master Qin.

Master Qin stared blankly at the terrifying black flames before him.

He muttered a single phrase, "Human Immortal caliber...."

"Qin Yuyu, take your master to the Pure Origin and Profound Dao Hall, leave these people to me." Mo Lin gestured to Qin Yuyu.

"Okay." Qin Yuyu nodded and then led her master away.

She knew well enough that there was nothing she could do to help here!

So Qin Yuyu took her master and left.

"Master, what was that flame Mo Lin just used? Was it Ghost Fire too?" Qin Yuyu saw the pitch-black flames for the first time.

She thought the flame Mo Lin used must be similar to her own Ghost Fire.

"That's the Netherworld's Nether Fire, renowned alongside the Red Lotus Karmic Fire," the elder answered slowly.

Qin Yuyu displayed an astonished expression, "Are you saying... that's Divine Fire?"

"Yes."

"With Divine Fire, doesn't that mean Mo Lin could someday be like that Human Immortal? Standing at the pinnacle of the human race?" Qin Yuyu recalled a woman who wielded the Red Lotus Karmic Fire.

That woman was extremely terrifying, known as the Human Immortal.

"If he doesn't die, he should become the second Human Immortal!" the elder responded slowly.

...

Mo Lin was becoming more adept at using the Netherworld's Nether Fire.

At least far more so than the first time he used it.

The pitch-black flames acted like a wall, trapping Wang Qiu and his people.

A man in black, oblivious to death, charged directly at Mo Lin.

Attempting to break through the black flames.

As the man in black attacked, everyone around followed suit.

The man in black used fifty years of life force to erect a bright red blood barrier around himself!

He hoped the blood barrier could withstand the black flames.

When the blood barrier met the pitch-black flames.

It was like igniting straw.

The man in black was immediately set aflame by the black fire!

The blood barrier couldn't withstand the black flames at all.

The man in black let out a painful howl within the flames.

Those behind him, ready to charge out, were all frightened back.

A man attempted to rescue the man in black.

But as soon as he touched the man's clothing, the next moment, the black flames engulfed him.

The flames burned, mercilessly killing the two of them.
