Chapter 1148: Chapter 192: Between Black and White
The mountains and rivers have collapsed, the gigantic crustal movements seem to herald a geological catastrophe.
The millennium spiritual energy bursts forth, instantly transforming into a spiritual power storm, gushing up from the ruptured base of Mount Tai, parable to a level ten hurricane—but its destruction surpasses that of the hurricane.
The rampant spiritual energy is like high-purity oxygen; for those with low cultivation, it’s akin to poison. Even a single breath causes sudden energy surge…a surge to a degree that the meridians cannot withstand.
The violent spiritual power storm sweeps people away, flinging them to the summit of Mount Tai… Meanwhile, the mountain body of Mount Tai, ruptured at this moment, is forcibly expanded by this furious millennium spiritual energy, turning into two symmetrical extraordinary mountains!
At this moment, the light illuminates the earth, and no one notices that the seven Jade Dragon Columns converge in the sky, at this point regenerating into an Earth Spirit Sword.
As for the Spirit Sword, as soon as it appears, it directly shoots towards the earth… aimed at the location of Wolong Mountain Villa!
…
Those with profound power withstand the huge force of the spiritual power storm at the burst of millennial spiritual energy, yet can still stabilize themselves…some even gain some benefits.
However, the outburst of spiritual energy doesn’t seem as terrifying as imagined—although mountains and rivers are collapsing at this moment, it is only within the radius of a hundred miles centered around Mount Tai, not as severe as expected.
Of course, with such intensity of spiritual force impact, ordinary people within this hundred-mile radius certainly cannot withstand it, possibly submerged in this violent spiritual energy in mere seconds—but at this time, the area centered around Mount Tai for at least over a hundred kilometers has bee nearly a no-man’s land, a zone of death.
“Stopped…stopped?”
Struggling out from the soil, Fiery Cloud Evil God surveys everything around.
“This is just the beginning.”
“Blind man, you surely survived!” Fiery Cloud Evil God turns around in surprise.
Only to see Mr. Blind at this moment supporting himself with ancient swords, barely standing… Currently, only he and Fiery Cloud Evil God remain here, all Dao Monsters of the United Forces having been blown to other places at the moment of the spiritual power storm explosion, likely scattered for the time being.
“Old fool, can you still move…” Mr. Blind’s body shakes, “This time, it’s just a prelude, the true burst of millennial spiritual power is yet to e.”
“You say this is merely a prelude?” Fiery Cloud Evil God’s face changed instantly.
“Like a dam with a crack, initially the crack will shoot out water. But as the crack widens, the dam will eventually pletely split, and then, the true flood arrives.” Mr. Blind takes a deep breath, “I don’t know how much time is left, but in theory this should be an instant chain reaction, yet it has stopped for now, probably because of the true dragon…perhaps she is suppressing the widening of the crack.”
“If so, only the true dragon can achieve that.” Fiery Cloud Evil God smiles bitterly, struggling to stand, but within an instant, he falls back down, “If only Bihua were here… I’ve truly run out of strength.”
“Unexpectedly, the Dragon Fiend from back then did not die…” Mr. Blind’s face is heavy, “This power of the earth spirit opened by the Dragon Fiend, if it absorbs this force, may very well ascend to bee the Godly Land’s Evil Dragon able to counter the true dragon… If it obstructs from the side, afraid the true dragon with the intention of suppressing the crack’s expansion can’t sustain for long…”
Mr. Blind bites his teeth, suddenly pulls out several golden needles.
“You’re insane, Old Blind Man, more needles, don’t even mention seeing tomorrow’s sun, you won’t last an hour!!”
Mr. Blind smiles bitterly, “The Dragon Fiend was my release years ago, causing upheaval in the Divine Land once. Last time, Master perished for me… I left this remnant life, wandered abroad, finally muddled through these decades. I always didn’t know what I stayed for…perhaps it is for this moment. Old fool, your bottle of wine, I won’t drink it; if possible, pour it beneath the Firmiana Tree!”
“Blind Man!!”
Golden needle flickers, Mr. Blind closes his eyes—but just as the needle is about to pierce several life and death acupoints in his body, it gets struck down.
A ghostly apparition passes by, snatching away those few golden needles…ghostly apparition forms rapidly before Fiery Cloud Evil God and Mr. Blind.
A cold-faced, bloodless middle-aged man’s appearance.
“You are…Xiao Shengmo?” Fiery Cloud Evil God’s brow furrows, surprised.
This time’s joint forces did not include Xiao Shengmo, nor any ghosts from the Ghost City—but Xiao Shengmo indeed arrived at Wolong Mountain Villa before the Penglai Conference began. Only since Hundred Calamities and others returned from the Penglai Treasury, Xiao Shengmo had been missing from sight; Little expected the Lord of the Ghost City would appear here now.
“Lord Xiao, why are you…” Mr. Blind evidently recognizes Xiao Shengmo as well.
Decades ago, during the Dragon Fiend’s disaster, Qingxia Zi, as a rising star of Clothed Daoist, was brought onto the Divine Land’s Daoist Fiend stage by Heavenly Heart’s Seventieth Generation, veteran Dao Monsters all met Qingxia Zi in person, naturally Qingxia Zi also met them.
“Qingxia Zi, seeking death is premature at this moment,” Xiao Shengmo says deeply, “Qingxia Zi, your master left some words for me to pass on to you.”
“My…teacher?” Mr. Blind opens his mouth in surprise.
“He asked me to take you to a place…let’s talk on the way, get in the carriage.” Xiao Shengmo nods, waves his sleeve, from which a wind of shadows shoots forth, forming a carriage drawn by black fire oxen!
…
…
The surrounding fractured mountain bodies tower as stone forests, with destruction caused by the burst of spiritual energy being terrifying in this manner.
During the battle, severely wounded, and then blown by the spiritual power storm, ultimately thrown amidst these chaotic stones, Young Master of Greedy Wolf Zi Xing now weakly leans against a gigantic stone, covering her shoulder—a torn wound visible on her shoulder.
This wound was inflicted by the spear of the Thirty-Six Celestial Generals of the Xuanyuan Palace.
Zi Xing uses secret technique to halt the blood flow, now frowning, each movement of internal injuries causes excruciating pain.
She takes deep breaths, tilting her head, gazing at the night sky, also looking towards where Mount Tai’s summit once was… Now Mount Tai has bee two, this shocks Zi Xing deeply… Her gaze quickly scans the surrounding.
At this moment, two figures enter Zi Xing’s view, prompting her to look up suddenly, seeing two men standing on a gigantic rock.
An elder and a sinister-faced young man… On the elder’s body, Zi Xing senses an icy coldness, and a sinister familiar presence among them.
“Found you, I’ve indeed missed you greatly.” The elder atop the rock coldly laughs, then leaps to appear before Zi Xing.
Suzuki Yuuichi…or rather, Lian Zhen!
Simultaneously, the other sinister young man leaps along…Suzuki Haruxin—Yamata no Orochi.
Two troubled brothers.
Yamata no Orochi grins malevolently, “Elder Brother Lian Zhen, what did I say? High risk high reward! Just look at these Mount Tai, dragons and snakes gather, perilous greatly, but full of opportunities…well, you said you wanted to retrieve your Yin Greedy Wolf Force, isn’t it done now?”
After speaking, Yamata no Orochi crouched down, assessing the nervous Zi Xing, “Little sister, don’t be afraid… We are here to free you. This one beside me, you should be familiar with, right?”
“Yin Greedy Wolf… it’s you.” Zi Xing ignored Yamata’s gaze, her expression solemn as she looked at Lian Zhen, “The one in the cave that day… it was indeed you!”
Lian Zhen sneered, “Last time, in the cave, you managed to escape, but this time you won’t be so lucky. Zi Xing, I have been residing within you all these years, forced to obey your mands… Today, I’m here to take back everything with interest! From now on, the Yin Greedy Wolf Force will no longer belong to your Greedy Wolf Clan!”
Lian Zhen wasted no time, reaching out to grab Zi Xing… but just then, Yamata no Orochi suddenly blocked him.
“Yamata, what do you mean?” Lian Zhen immediately grew angry!
“Brother Lian Zhen, don’t rush, just hear me out first.” Yamata no Orochi squinted his eyes and said, “I certainly won’t stop you from reclaiming your Yin Greedy Wolf. After all, we live or die together, naturally the stronger you are, the safer I feel! However, can you leave this young girl’s soul and spirit for me?”
“What do you want to do?” Lian Zhen frowned.
Yamata no Orochi laughed coldly, “I’ve changed my mind… Suddenly, I think the body of this Young Master of Greedy Wolf is also quite good. Now, after this battle, the Spiritual Energy Awakening has already occurred, why should we flee far away?”
“You mean?”
Yamata squinted his eyes and said, “Brother, don’t you think taking down the entire Greedy Wolf Tribe is a worthwhile endeavor… Killing the Young Master is such a waste! I’ve grown tired of this Suzuki Haruxin’s body.”
“Whatever you want!” Lian Zhen snorted coldly. At this moment, with the Yin Greedy Wolf Force right before him, he couldn’t be bothered to argue with Yamata here.
“Wait, someone’s ing.” Yamata no Orochi suddenly frowned.
“Damn it!” Lian Zhen’s ferocity showed, ready to strike.
Yamata quickly intercepted him, urging, “I say, brother, haven’t you noticed how many powerful people are lurking within Mount Tai today? Both you and I have only regained a fraction of our power, not fully restored. If we encounter a formidable opponent, we’d be nothing but crumbs! Don’t act impulsively!”
“Then what do you suggest?” Lian Zhen swung his arm impatiently, his eyes like a wolf, fixated on Zi Xing.
“One word, hide!”
Yamata smiled, waved his hand, and instantly immobilized Zi Xing’s body.
At that moment, two more figures swiftly darted among the chaotic rocks.
…
“What’s happening here…”
On the massive stone, Mo Xiaofei withdrew his palm from his brow, having just gazed into the distance—they didn’t arrive in time for the battle, merely followed the silhouette of the Godly Land’s true dragon.
Mo Xiaofei looked below, Zhuifeng shook his head, “I don’t know, I was scared to death just now… Brother, did you see it? Such a massive mountain, it split open!”
“I don’t know how Master’s doing…” Mo Xiaofei bit his finger, “Zhuifeng, let’s speed up, shall we?”
“Oh… okay!” Zhuifeng nodded, jumping onto the large stone.
Mo Xiaofei squatted down, preparing to chase Zhuifeng, but Zhuifeng stood there dumbly, unmoving… Mo Xiaofei frowned, “Zhuifeng, Zhuifeng? Zhuifeng!”
“Ah? Oh…” Zhuifeng hesitantly looked at the chaotic rocks ahead, “Brother, wait for me a moment, I think I smell Zi Xing’s scent.”
“Zi Xing?” Mo Xiaofei was stunned… Instantly, the image of the Young Master of the Greedy Wolf Clan appeared in his mind.
Speaking of which, Zhuifeng seemed to have a crush on her… But she is the Young Master of the Greedy Wolf Clan, of noble status, and back then, she showed little interest in Zhuifeng.
“Zhuifeng, listen to me, about this girl…” Mo Xiaofei was about to say something, but Zhuifeng had already leapt into the chaotic rocks.
Zhuifeng raised his head, sniffing, searching his way through, while Mo Xiaofei scratched his head, floating behind Zhuifeng.
Soon after, Zhuifeng stopped before a massive stone, “Strange, the scent is clearly here, but I can’t see anyone?”
“There’s no one at all.” Mo Xiaofei shook his head, “Could it be just your imagination running wild?”
Still puzzled, Zhuifeng circled the giant stone again and again, ultimately returning to Mo Xiaofei’s side, sighing, “Maybe… I haven’t seen her in a long time, wonder how she’s doing now.”
“Okay, don’t overthink it.” Mo Xiaofei patted Zhuifeng’s shoulder, “If you’re destined to meet, you’ll likely see her again. Who knows, maybe when I find my Master, we might see Zi Xing too? How about I discuss with my Master and create a chance for you with Zi Xing?”
“Ah? This… is it okay?” Zhuifeng stuttered, “Will Lord Long consent?”
“Probably? I think my Master has a sharp tongue and a soft heart. If I plead with him, it might work.” Mo Xiaofei stroked his chin, “But first, if she doesn’t like you, you should just give up… Don’t you think Nini is nice, why not consider her?”
“You’re silly! Nini likes cheese!” Zhuifeng retorted, “Besides, I’m a man with dignity, and such underhanded tricks, I can’t do! If I did, how could I still be Zhuifeng the Grand in the future?!”
“Alright, alright, let’s not argue, hurry up.” Mo Xiaofei waved his hand but suddenly shifted the topic, “But before we leave, let’s address the situation here first… still hiding?”
In an instant, about a hundred tiny stones on the ground began to stir.
These stones, manipulated by Mo Xiaofei’s telekinesis, shot out like bullets—directly toward the huge stone ahead!
As the hundred flying stones approached the rock, the giant stone suddenly moved… the stones seemed to hit an obstruction, shattering instantly!
And within that fleeting moment, a cold voice came forth, “Nosy little dog, die!!”
Boom—!!
Facing the attacking figure, Zhuifeng rushed to shield Mo Xiaofei, but in haste, Zhuifeng was instantly knocked out, crashing against the large stone behind!
Mo Xiaofei immediately used his telekinesis to form a barrier of mind power before him, retreating to Zhuifeng’s side, asking, “Zhuifeng, are you hurt?”
“I’m fine.” Zhuifeng shook his head, quickly stood up, and dusted off his clothes.
The two brothers looked ahead, instantly spotting the one who launched the surprise attack—a youth with a sinister face. Behind the youth stood a robust old man, but this wasn’t the most crucial!
“Zi Xing!” The brothers exclaimed in unison.
At the moment, Zi Xing was held by Lian Zhen, her arms restrained, her shoulders pressed, unable to move, yet her wide eyes and shifting gaze seemed to urge Zhuifeng and Mo Xiaofei to quickly leave this place.
“Little dog, not bad, you actually managed to see through my illusion…” Yamata no Orochi looked at Mo Xiaofei at this moment, “Little dog, I didn’t expect us to meet again.”
“Have I met you?” Facing Yamata no Orochi’s words, Mo Xiaofei instinctively frowned — with his highly active brain, he couldn’t remember meeting this guy.
“Heh, it doesn’t matter if you don’t remember, the important thing is, I remember it clearly,” Yamata no Orochi looked at Mo Xiaofei as if a prisoner staring at a stripped beauty.
This is a wisp of the reincarnated remnant soul of a timeless emperor!
pared to the remnant soul of the timeless emperor, the soul of that Young Master of Greedy Wolf behind him is nothing!
Judging by the boy’s situation, he probably has no idea he’s the reincarnation of the timeless emperor? Yamata no Orochi was secretly contemplating, thinking this trip to Mount Tai was really worth it — not only did he obtain a shred of divinity (even though it was later split into two by Lian Zhen), but now he also encountered the remnant soul of the timeless emperor!
Considering a turn of luck?
“Yamata no Orochi, stop wasting words here, hurry up and finish off these two little dogs, I have a bad feeling!” Suddenly, Lian Zhen’s face turned grave, “I felt something…”
Something that made his heart tremble!
“Relax, brother, they’re just two little brats, my ancestor self can…”
Before the words were finished, a not-too-big, not-too-small fist struck at this moment mercilessly against Yamata no Orochi’s face — this punch directly blew Yamata no Orochi’s face apart!
Amazed and confused, Yamata no Orochi was heavily smashed into a large stone.
At the same time, Lian Zhen’s expression drastically changed too — he now realized what that bad feeling was — it came from this unremarkable little monster!
“Tanlang…” Lian Zhen’s eyes widened.
“Zhuifeng?” Mo Xiaofei opened his mouth, he had never seen Zhuifeng like this.
Vast demonic power surged from his body in waves, making Zhuifeng’s entire body seem dressed in a robe made of demonic power, his voice suddenly grew much louder… The rocks on the ground were even lifted because of this overwhelming demonic power.
The air instantly grew heavy.
“Let her… go!”
Zhuifeng roared in a low voice, his figure disappearing in an instant, Lian Zhen’s face changed drastically at this moment, grabbing Zi Xing, he leaped into the air.
He rushed into the air, however, at this moment, Zhuifeng, enwreathed in a cloak of vast demonic power, appeared directly in front of him, “I said let her go!!”
Quick-witted in desperation, Lian Zhen directly pushed Zi Xing forward at this moment!
But just at this moment, a peculiar power directly confined his body, and Zi Xing was even more directly pulled away from his side by an invisible force, he couldn’t even grab onto her!
On the ground, Mo Xiaofei extended his hands simultaneously, one pulling, one grabbing, directly pulling down Zi Xing, who had escaped, “Zhuifeng! Go!!”
“Bastard!! How dare you grab my Zi Xing!!!”
Emperor’s Supreme Shock World Fist First Form* Greedy Wolf Divine Skill ‘Swift’* Greedy Wolf Divine Skill ‘Mighty Strength’* Greedy Wolf Divine Skill ‘Vajra’!
Bang —!!!
The fist enveloped in supreme demonic power at this moment directly punched against Lian Zhen’s chest.
The pure display of power… The air rippled around from this punch like waves spreading outward, and Lian Zhen’s body frantically crashed onto the ground at this moment.
The earth… this area of random stones, in an instant, layers sunk below the surface!
In mid-air, because of the surging demonic power, Zhuifeng’s body stayed briefly, at this moment, after delivering a punch, he clenched his fist, tilted his head toward the bright moon in the night, and let out a thundering roar… The wolf’s howl shook the mountains and rivers.
Mo Xiaofei at this moment used telekinesis to keep Zi Xing by his side, rocketing skyward the moment the ground was struck down, he glanced at Zhuifeng, rubbed his brow, wondering if that other self, after teaching Zhuifeng that strange boxing method, would have any bad influence on Zhuifeng.
“Wolf Lord… is he… the Wolf Lord?!”
The restrictive power on Zi Xing’s body vanished at some point, at this moment, looking at Zhuifeng howling towards the sky, a deep-seated fear from her bloodline instantly filled her entire being.
“Wolf Lord?” Mo Xiaofei apparently heard what Zi Xing said, he looked over with confusion.
Zi Xing hesitated to speak but suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood… She was badly injured, confined by Yamata no Orochi, and suffered another blow, at this moment influenced by the ancient Greedy Wolf power from Zhuifeng, the wolf blood within her boiled, overwhelming her nerves at once.
Zi Xing fainted all of a sudden.
“Stop howling! Your Zi Xing has fainted!” Mo Xiaofei shouted from Zhuifeng at this moment.
Zhuifeng was startled, the surging demonic power steadily fell back, suddenly reverting to a little monster’s level… Losing the support of demonic power, Zhuifeng plummeted from the sky.
“Whoa… save me!!!”
Mo Xiaofei shook his head… still unreliable, indeed just a kid.
….
“Big brother, is this guy dead?”
Zhuifeng carried Zi Xing on his back, Zi Xing fell unconscious and never woke up, didn’t respond no matter how much calling, if not for the relatively smooth breathing, Mo Xiaofei figured Zhuifeng would have another rampage.
“Dead.” Mo Xiaofei shook his head.
At this moment, the elder in the large pit, the body was pletely deformed, the elder’s eyes turned white, pletely lifeless, even the odd young man with this elder was nowhere to be found.
Mo Xiaofei scratched his head, “The other guy probably took the chance to escape, seemed frightened by your punch… But speaking of which, you kid are strong, how did you bee so fierce!”
Zhuifeng chuckled twice, “I don’t know, just feel that the closer to the front, the more vigorous the body, now taking a breath, it feels full of strength.”
“Why don’t I feel this way?” Mo Xiaofei shook his head, “Forget it, this thing is weird, ask my master when we see him… Keep carrying Zi Xing~”
…
When Zhuifeng and Mo Xiaofei took Zi Xing far away, a figure finally crawled out of the soil in embarrassment… it was Yamata no Orochi.
Yamata no Orochi lay on the ground at this moment, and pulled out a soul-light ball from his clothes — it was Lian Zhen’s soul.
The soul-light ball was dim and dull at this moment, and Lian Zhen’s consciousness had pletely fallen into a a, unable to be awakened no matter what… Yamata no Orochi sighed.
Living and dying together, half of the injuries Lian Zhen suffered had transferred to him, to be able to keep his life was truly fortunate.
“Lian Zhen, brother, I guess I count as such a brother, right? If I hadn’t shared half with you, you might not even have a piece left…”
Thinking I encountered bronze, who knew it was actually a king; this was really a disaster.
“Mount Tai is too dangerous, let’s go back, brother Lian Zhen…”
After many days, the sworn brothers in the Yan Wuyue World are still such difficult brothers.
…
…
Half an hour ago. Inside Wolong Mountain Villa.
Mo Mo returned to the entrance of Wolong Mountain Villa again — there was one thing he found very strange, that despite being critically injured and near death, he had even prepared to turn into a Ghost Cultivator, then performed the Taoist magic art Invert Yin and Yang to revive himself — though this act would bring severe consequences, it was better than being a Ghost Cultivator forever and making his master angry.
But he was pletely restored, not only were his broken meridians repaired, even his mana was pletely restored… his mana seemed even stronger.
Mo Mo thought of Senior Luo, in this state, only Senior Luo could have restored him in a short time — yet reason told him this was not the case.
If Senior Luo acted, it would certainly be for business — but clearly, Mo Mo did not seek help at the time.
Despite the mystery of this recovery from serious injury, Mo Mo had more important matters at hand — so, the first thing after his recovery was to return to Wolong Mountain Villa.
First, but during his escape, he didn’t remember to take Zhan with him.
Second, Lai Caisheng might not have left yet, the master and disciple of Clothed Daoist appeared at Wolong Mountain Villa when the allied forces attacked the Mount Tai Summit, surely plotting something else.
Mo Mo took a deep breath, checked the remaining talismans on his body, then flipped over the wall of Wolong Mountain Villa, walking into the villa and quickly heading to Clothed Daoist’s former courtyard.
But he hadn’t walked far before being blocked by a figure. And blocking him was a heavily scarred monster… Du Lin.
Still riddled with scars, blood seeping from his shoulder, but the Pipa Lock had been removed… Du Lin was blocking the path before the courtyard.
“Although the master said, even a great immortal couldn’t save you.” Du Lin currently sat cross-legged under a tree, looking at Mo Mo, “But for some reason, I always felt you would e back, and quickly… my intuition is indeed right.”
“Is that so.” Mo Mo stopped, calmly said: “Since your intuition is so accurate, then why don’t you predict what I will do next?”
Du Lin shook his head, “No matter what you plan to do, I won’t let you in… It’s already the final step, I won’t allow you to destroy the master’s plan.”
There was no need to argue further with Du Lin… Mo Mo understood in his heart, as did Du Lin, they had different ideologies.
“What exactly is Lai Caisheng plotting?” Mo Mo asked in a deep voice, “During this Spiritual Energy Awakening, as the orchestrator, he’s not presiding over everything at Mount Tai but secretly appearing at Wolong Mountain Villa… don’t tell me it’s because the feng shui here is good, a nice spot to watch the show.”
“Do you know why this place is called Wolong Mountain Villa?” Du Lin asked abruptly.
Mo Mo frowned, unsure why Du Lin asked this suddenly… Mo Mo surveyed his surroundings and eventually shook his head.
“Because here, is the backbone of the ley lines of the entire Mount Tai.” Du Lin slowly replied: “More than forty years ago, Qingxia Zi of Clothed Daoist once summoned the Dragon Fiend. This Dragon Fiend’s lineage can be considered the same as that of the Divine Land’s Twelve Ancestor Dragons, strictly speaking, even the Godly Land could be considered of the same origin. Back then, the battlefield of the Dragon Fiend chaos was in this place. Wolong Mountain Villa was built upon the battlefield.”
Mo Mo furrowed his brow again, “Explain more clearly… anyway, it’s e to this, you shouldn’t be hiding anymore, right?”
“When Mount Tai’s ley lines are successfully disrupted, the Spiritual Energy stored for countless years will erupt instantly.” Du Lin calmly said: “I think you know quite well just how much destruction this erupted Spiritual Energy could cause?”
“Isn’t this what you all want.” Mo Mo snorted coldly, “To restore the previous era, you’re willing to do anything.”
“Indeed, we are willing to do anything for that era’s restoration.” Du Lin calmly said, “But not for the plete eradication of everything. Listen, inside Mount Tai, countless Dao Monster elites are gathered, among them are those who, having exhausted their potential, have no hope of advancing further even if Spiritual Energy is restored, and there are also young talents like you. We won’t let the future hope of these Dao Monsters perish in the Spiritual Energy storm.”
Mo Mo was stunned, “Then you all…”
“A single point of erupting Spiritual Energy is enough to destroy everything.” Du Lin slowly stated, “But if there’s one more outlet, then the damage would diminish greatly… at least, the concentration and range of the eruption would reduce. Right now, the master is inside, preparing to open a second outlet the moment the first one opens.”
“So, you’ve actually done some good?” Mo Mo shook his head.
Du Lin suddenly said in a deep voice, “Mo Mo! Listen, amidst the changing winds atop Mount Tai, can you be sure that the allied forces can prevent the opening of the first breach?”
“The true dragon has already gone.”
“Invincibility doesn’t mean ignoring the factor of time.” Du Lin took a deep breath and said, “This is a gap in time… calm down, to delay the true dragon, we’ve made many preparations. Right now, everything is proceeding smoothly, at least the true dragon appears now, doesn’t it? If she appeared earlier, this plan would have advanced by now.”
Mo Mo sighed, “Since the Penglai conference began, to the struggle over the Imperial Edict on Zhan’s body, then to the strange events following the unexpected gatherings of Dao Monster forces… until now, you truly have prepared thoroughly.”
“Not pletely, as there were many variables.” Du Lin shook his head, “Starting with you, then the return of hundreds of calamities, earlier than anticipated… nonetheless, this plan still reached its final step. Mo Mo, measure yourself, if you’re confident that at the summit of Mount Tai, it will end in our defeat, then act. If you aren’t confident, then don’t act… because if your people fail at Mount Tai and you stop the master here, the destruction from a single point of Spiritual Energy eruption will bear your share! Didn’t you say you couldn’t rescue what was unreachable, but for what’s within reach you absolutely must rescue… what do you intend to choose now?”
Mo Mo stared at Du Lin for a long time, slowly exhaling, “Take me to see Lai Caisheng.”
“Glad it’s you, really glad, Mo Mo fellow cultivator.” Du Lin sighed.
Mo Mo sneered, “Don’t think saying a few nice words will work.”
“Not so, if it were a rash one, perhaps someone who couldn’t see the situation clearly and acted only out of passion, naturally they would make a different choice. So, Mo Mo fellow cultivator, please accept my bow of respect.”
Du Lin’s face turned earnest, and he bowed deeply to Mo Mo.
Mo Mo smiled bitterly; this bow was heavier than Mount Tai, he softly murmured to himself, “Senior… this is the gray between black and white.”
