Chapter 222: Again?

By the time Mo Guang and the others reached the outskirts of Sand Wolf City, they arrived just in time to witness Lin Yan emerging from Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable’s true inheritance space.

Lin Yan frowned slightly. The Mo Family again? He had only just left the true inheritance, yet he had run into them once more. Was this merely a coincidence, or was Heaven’s Will subtly pushing events in this direction?

Fortunately, he remained calm. Without sufficient Wisdom Path methods, concealing his whereabouts from other Gu Immortals had always been difficult. During his previous life, he had deliberately spent five hundred years exploring Wisdom Path Dream Realms, raising his attainments to evade deductions. Although those attainments had not returned with his rebirth, he had already prepared a series of plans to restore his Wisdom Path methods and gradually recover attainments he had once possessed.

The Mo Family Gu Immortal examined Lin Yan and immediately recognized him as the Righteous Path Gu Immortal who had captured two of their family’s Gu Immortals two years ago.

Mo Guang snorted coldly. "So it’s you. Who gave you the right to take our Mo Family’s Ancient Desolate Plant?"

Upon hearing those words, Lin Yan almost laughed.

Heaven and earth treasures belonged to whoever had the ability and opportunity to obtain them. The Mo Family had never even discovered the Thousand Wishes Tree, yet they still shamelessly claimed it as their own. As expected of a super force. Their arrogance had long since become second nature.

"I was the first to discover the Thousand Wishes Tree, and it wasn’t even within your Mo Family’s territory. It belongs to me. Since when do I need the Mo Family’s permission to take what is already mine?"

Before Mo Guang could respond, one of the Rank Seven Gu Immortals beside him stepped forward with a contemptuous sneer.

"Your belongings?" He scoffed. "Everything within the Mo Family’s sphere of influence belongs to the Mo Family. Whether we discovered it or not is none of your concern."

Another Rank Seven Gu Immortal smiled faintly, his gaze filled with undisguised disdain.

"Why waste words with him? He’s just a lone cultivator." He looked toward Mo Guang. "Capture him first. We can discuss ownership after he’s kneeling before us."

As soon as those words left his mouth, a murderous glint flashed across Mo Guang’s eyes. The battle two years ago had been a lifelong humiliation. Now, with three Rank Seven Gu Immortals standing together, he was confident they could kill Lin Yan.

Without another word, the three Mo Family Gu Immortals prepared to make their move.

"Wait." Lin Yan suddenly raised his one hand.

Mo Guang frowned. Has he finally realized there’s no way out? He knew Lin Yan possessed Rank Seven battle strength. Two years ago, that strength had allowed him to suppress the Mo Family’s gu immortals. But facing three Rank Seven Gu Immortals at once was no different from seeking death.

His gaze settled on Lin Yan. Yet Lin Yan’s expression remained calm. There was not the slightest trace of panic on his face. Instead, the corners of his lips slowly curled into a faint smile.

Lin Yan sighed. "You Mo Family certainly have some nerve. Interrupting my cultivation, then attempting to kill me the moment we meet. Originally, I intended to spare your lives out of consideration for the two Immortal Gu your Mo Family so generously gifted me two years ago. But since you’ve come looking for death yourselves, don’t blame me for being impolite."

"I’ll give you one last chance. Hand over one hundred thousand immortal essence stones and a Rank Seven Immortal Gu as compensation. If you do, I’ll pretend today’s misunderstanding never happened."

Mo Guang ???

The other two Mo Family Gu Immortals were equally dumbfounded.

Mo Guang and the others were furious. The last trace of restraint vanished from their hearts. Immediately, the three Mo Family Gu Immortals attacked in unison. A vast expanse of profound yellow earth spread above one Gu Immortal’s head, another stirred a mighty gale that swept across the battlefield, while countless brilliant thoughts revolved around the third like a rushing river.

They were Rank Seven Gu Immortals of the Earth Path, Wind Path, and Wisdom Path, each possessing Grandmaster attainment in their respective paths.

Lin Yan’s eyes turned cold as well killing intent surged from his body. Without the slightest fear, he activated his killer move.

Crimson Virtue True Body!

A blazing scarlet sun manifested behind Lin Yan, while a lamp containing Otherworldly Flame hovered above his palm. His aura soared at an astonishing rate, becoming more oppressive with each passing breath.

Things were different now. Since refining Crimson Virtue True Body, Lin Yan had incorporated Fire Control Immortal Gu, Transform Fire Immortal Gu, and Otherworldly Flame Immortal Gu into the killer move. At the same time, his Flame Path dao marks had reached an astonishing forty thousand, comparable to those of a peak Rank Seven Gu Immortal.

A Rank Seven Gu Immortal faced one Earth Calamity every ten years, one Heavenly Tribulation every fifty years, and one Grand Calamity every hundred years. Yet even surviving a Grand Calamity only granted around seven thousand two hundred and fifty dao marks. The three Rank Seven Gu Immortals before him had not even survived their first Grand Calamity. At most, each possessed around fifteen thousand dao marks.
