The myth begins with the Lotus Lantern

Chapter 166 Return
This is really not something that White Snake would say.

The green snake opened her mouth slightly. This was really not the sister she had in mind. But when she thought about it carefully, if her sister didn't act like this... in front of a hero like the mountain master who had saved her many times and had the appearance of a dragon, it would be abnormal. After all, if she didn't know that her cultivation was low, the green snake would have thought that her behavior must have been even more excessive. Judging from herself, she suddenly felt that it was reasonable.

"Yeah." Ding Lin responded. He was in a bad mood at the moment, but he didn't realize anything. After all, this whole mountain belonged to him, so the name of White Snake was nothing. "You have recovered from your injuries, and you have sucked my dragon blood, which is no less than taking a powerful medicine. From what I see from your behavior, you have made some progress. If you continue to practice for a while, you may be able to try to break through to the Yuanshen."

These are just ordinary words. After all, if you have done a favor, it is common sense to win over a few people.

"Yes."

The white snake lowered its head and responded in a low voice.

"You go ahead."

Ding Lin waved his hand, then leapt into the lake. Now that the white snake had recovered, he certainly couldn't let it occupy his little lake any longer. The cold water of the lake hit him, and Ding Lin felt his spirits revived.

……

In the lake, Ding Lin transformed into his original form, closed his eyes and breathed in and out. A more than three-meter-long dragon coiled at the bottom of the water. Once, when he was a fish, he missed the time when he was still a human, but now, he has long been able to transform into a human. When he is alone, he is getting more and more accustomed to transforming into his original form. Habit is really a terrible force, like a spring breeze and rain, it changes everything unknowingly and without you realizing it.

Suddenly, Ding Lin opened his eyes, as if he suddenly realized something. He jumped up and out of the water, transforming into a human form. A vicious wind raged, causing water vapor to linger around him, like clouds and fog.

"Mountain Master!"

The voice of Magpie Fairy came from outside the peak.

Ding Lin did not open the mountain gate immediately. The dusk melted into gold, and the afterglow of the setting sun fell and was reflected on the lake, making his face even more gloomy and unpredictable. After a while, he waved his hand, and the divine seal buried deep in the spiritual energy of the earth veins trembled. The clouds in the sky rolled up and made way for a passage. The magpie fairy flapped its wings and flew in. The Zhengyi sect was in chaos. She did not dare to stop all the way and hurried on with her true form. The injury that had been slightly relieved worsened again. When she saw Ding Lin, she felt her mind relax, and she turned into a human form the moment she landed. Her body softened and she was about to collapse to the ground.

"us……"

Behind Magpie Fairy, the Fifth Fairy had a complicated expression. She opened her mouth and was about to speak, but in the reflection of her pupils, she suddenly saw a flash of cold light in Ding Lin's palm, using the sword as a knife, slashing at him diagonally. With her cultivation level, she had no time to react. She could only watch as the sharp blade in her pupils quickly grew larger. The next moment...

"boom!"

There was a muffled sound in the void.

Above the heads of the five fairies, a large ball of golden light suddenly lit up, and a phantom hid. The sword almost grazed the scalps of the five fairies. The strong wind blew on her cheeks and it hurt. It was not until then that she reacted. The magpie fairy came to help her, and she quickly ducked and got away from the sword.

"Zhao Sheng."

Quexian cried out in amazement, they didn't know when Zhao Sheng's soul had attached itself to them. If Ding Lin hadn't taken action, they would have been unaware of it.

"Hmph!" Ding Lin snorted coldly. He did not hold back at all in this sword attack, and used all his strength. Originally, his strength was not inferior to that of an ordinary third-level soul. After absorbing the lotus seeds of the Precious Lotus Lantern and the lotus leaf in his dantian took root and grew completely, his strength improved further. But even so, this sword attack, which had been accumulating power for a long time and came unexpectedly, still only had the upper hand and could not destroy the enemy.

The touch of the sword's tip was as tough as cowhide. Zhao Sheng was worthy of being Zhang Daoling's disciple. His body was destroyed and his soul was on the verge of breaking, but he could still hold on. That ball of golden light was like a tortoise shell.

The situation was at a stalemate for a while.

"rise!"

Ding Lin shouted in a low voice, and with his voice, the divine seal deep in the earth veins, which had not yet recovered and was still full of cracks, rose up, emitting a blazing divine light, which enveloped Zhao Sheng's soul. The power of the gods naturally has a restraint on the soul. Ding Lin separated a wisp of consciousness towards the divine seal, and the hand holding the knife suddenly exerted another layer of strength, and the other hand suddenly sent out demonic energy. Zhao Sheng's soul became unstable for a while, and was taken into the divine seal.

“Didi yo yo!”

The divine seal trembled continuously, and golden light flashed at the cracks, as if it would explode at any moment.

Ding Lin's face was dead as he waved his hand to put away the divine seal, and suppressed it with the help of demonic energy. Then, he quickly fell back into the lake, and was about to kill Zhao Sheng's soul first. His consciousness sank into the sea of ​​​​consciousness. Despite the help of the demonic energy, the divine seal still trembled from time to time, and it seemed a little overwhelmed. Ding Lin had no doubt that if he didn't quickly get rid of Zhao Sheng's soul inside, perhaps this divine seal would really be of no use.

In the Dantian, the lotus leaf trembled slightly, and another demonic energy acted on the divine seal, finally calming the fluctuations. Ding Lin's power finally overwhelmed Zhao Sheng. Things went unexpectedly smoothly, and the rest was just a matter of time and effort.

For the whole day, the lake was boiling and rolling.

When the bright moon was high in the sky, reflecting the lake, the lake finally calmed down.

In the divine seal, only a thin layer of the golden light that protected Zhao Sheng remained. His soul slumped to the ground, so pale that even his facial features were a little blurry.

"Okay, I know you have some tricks, but I didn't expect you to be so powerful. It's my fault as the head of Qingcheng..." Zhao Sheng said.

"Master?" Ding Lin said coldly, "You are no longer one."

During this day, after completely suppressing Zhao Sheng and making sure that he had no chance of a comeback or any backup plan, Ding Lin took some time to think about it and asked Quexian about the whole story.

"Yes," Zhao Sheng was a little dazed, his transparent facial features seemed to wrinkle, as if mocking himself, "I am no longer that," he suddenly looked up at Ding Lin, "Can you let me go? We have never met before, but you are so sure of my identity. I think you have confirmed it with that demon girl. I used to be the headmaster of Qingcheng, so naturally I have hidden a lot of good things. As long as you let me go, I can give you all those things."

Ding Lin said nothing, but continued to refine the golden light as usual.

"Yes, eradicating all evil is a principle that even children in the cultivation world know. What's more, a great demon like you, whose heart is as cold as stone, will not be moved by such external things." Zhao Sheng's soul became more and more transparent, and his eyes suddenly became clear. "Then, let's make another deal. Before I left the sect, I relied on my power as the head of the sect to steal two precious treasures."
