Chapter 275 Mere ghosts, nothing more than two stray dogs

Master Xuangu quickly understood why Han Li was so calm.

He wasn't confident in his own abilities, but rather in the man who had suddenly appeared before him.

"Your Excellency, do you insist on getting involved in this matter?" Master Xuangu stared intently at Lin Mo and said in a deep voice.

"So what if I care? In terms of lacking self-awareness, you and your disciple Ji Yin are exactly the same," Lin Mo sneered.

"Alright, stop wasting time. Let's bring out the other one inside you too, I'll take care of them together."

Upon hearing this, even someone as composed as Master Xuan Gu couldn't help but feel a surge of anger. The ghost cultivator within him felt the same way; since he had already been discovered, there was no need to hide it any longer.

"Oh? You're going to take care of us? That's quite an arrogance."

A wisp of black mist emerged from the body of the Xuan Bone cultivator, eventually transforming into a ghost cultivator who stared intently at Lin Mo and spoke with a ferocious expression.

Lin Mo's gaze swept indifferently over Xuan Gu and his companion, a mocking smile playing on his lips: "Mere Yin spirits, nothing more than two stray dogs, not even worthy of being called human."

He slowly raised his hand, a wisp of blue-green flame dancing at his fingertips, and the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped.

"You dare to bark and howl in front of me?"

Before the words were even finished, the flame suddenly surged, transforming into a ferocious fire dragon that roared in the void, its chilling killing intent instantly enveloping the entire area.

Since this place is not within the Void Heaven Palace, there are naturally no restrictions.

Han Li, standing to the side, was dumbfounded, inwardly calling them his idols for daring to call two once-powerful demonic giants who dominated the chaotic star sea "stray dogs".

Even so, Han Li still subconsciously took a few steps back.

next moment.

Lin Mo flicked his finger, and the fire dragon roared out suddenly, its blazing flames tearing through the sky and rushing straight towards Ji Yin and the other two!

The Nascent Soul ghost cultivator beside Ji Yin didn't even have time to scream before being swallowed up by the fire dragon. His body was engulfed in flames and instantly turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared.

"Is this...is this a human or an immortal?!"

Han Li's pupils contracted sharply, and his mouth gaped open, momentarily forgetting to close it. Although he was knowledgeable and experienced, he had never seen such a terrifying fire-based divine power, capable of instantly incinerating a ghost cultivator who had been a Nascent Soul cultivator in life!
Han Li finally understood why Barbarian Beard had backed down so quickly.

And just as the fire dragon raged—

"Whoosh!"

A whooshing sound suddenly rang out, and Han Li snapped back to his senses. Looking up, he saw that Xuan Gu Shangren had already turned into a blur and was frantically fleeing into the distance!
"He's trying to escape?!"

Escape? Of course we must escape!
From the moment he witnessed the ghost cultivator being incinerated by the raging flames, Xuan Gu Shangren's heart felt as if it had plummeted into an abyss. Those flames... were simply not of this world!
In the eyes of the Xuan Gu Master, this flame was in no way weaker than the Azure Ice Flame in the Void Heaven Cauldron!
At that moment, he had only one thought in his mind—

Run! Run as far away as possible!

"This person has already reached the Nascent Soul realm at such a young age, and possesses such terrifying abilities. Could he be a reincarnation of an old monster who has reached the Divine Transformation realm and is cultivating again?!"

Xuan Gu Shangren was shaken to his core, and his escape light suddenly increased by 30%, leaving a blood-red afterimage in the air.

However, Lin Mo just smiled coldly: "Trying to escape now? It's too late."

He raised his right hand and grasped it in mid-air. Instantly, a long spear burning with blue-green flames materialized, the flames flowing around the spear, scorching and distorting the surrounding air.

"Go!" With a soft shout, the flaming spear shot through the air, so fast that it left no afterimage. Only a sharp explosion echoed in the void, and the next moment—

"puff!"

Master Xuangu was struck as if by lightning, his body suddenly stiffening. The flaming spear had already pierced through his chest, carrying immense force, and forcefully pinned him to the cliff a thousand feet away.

"boom!"

The mountain shook violently, and rocks fell in a flurry.

Master Xuangu was pinned to the rock wall, his limbs twitching, his fate unknown.

Lin Mo moved swiftly, instantly appearing before the Xuan Gu Shangren who was pinned to the mountain wall. With a casual wave of his hand, the storage pouch at the other man's waist fell into his palm.

"puff--"

With a soft sound, the divine sense imprint on the storage bag was easily torn apart like thin paper. Lin Mo probed into it with his divine sense, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Besides the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng that Han Li had previously lost, there was also a white jade rib jade slip containing the complete Xuan Yin Scripture cultivation method, a Demon-Slaying Arrow made from Golden Thunder Bamboo, and a large number of magical treasures and rare materials.
As expected of a former giant of the demonic path, his family's wealth is considerable.

Lin Mo couldn't help but think that once he got to the inner hall, he would rob all those Nascent Soul stage monsters, and the resources he obtained would probably be enough for him to break through to the Divine Transformation stage.

Thinking about this makes me a little excited.

As for the soul of Xuan Gu Shangren, Lin Mo did not destroy it directly, but erased its consciousness and put it into a jade bottle.

“Perfect for refining the Heavenly Demon Puppet,” Lin Mo nodded in satisfaction, then turned to look at Han Li, who was standing there in a daze. “Fellow Daoist Han, it’s about time. We should head back.”

I estimated the time; it's almost time for the second level to open.

On the way back, Lin Mo continued to employ the strategy of taking advantage of every passing opportunity.

He directly spread his divine sense and collected a large number of spiritual herbs that are not commonly seen in the outside world. He will then hand these spiritual herbs over to Old Demon Han and have him use the Palm Heaven Bottle to mature the spiritual herbs for hundreds of years. This should allow him to refine a number of high-level pills.

Of course, Lin Mo did not forget Yuan Yao, whom he had left behind. With Yuan Yao by his side, the three of them soon arrived at a giant mountain that was thousands of feet high.

The mountain peak seemed to have been cleaved in two by a powerful being from the top with a single sword strike in ancient times, forming a natural canyon in the middle. The two sides of the canyon shimmered with red and blue light, which looked quite eerie.

At the entrance to the canyon, dozens of cultivators sat cross-legged, their expressions solemn, as if waiting for something.

Upon seeing Lin Mo and Han Li return, everyone merely glanced up indifferently before falling silent once more.

The second test of the Void Heaven Palace is precisely in this canyon, with two passages on the left and right, the Ice and Fire Path.

On the left is the Mystic Crystal Road, and on the right is the Lava Road.

Outside the Xuanjing Path, white, icy air constantly emanated from within, accompanied by the faint sound of howling winds, sending chills down one's spine upon seeing it.

Outside the Lava Road passage, before one even enters, a scorching wind that makes one dizzy and nauseous blows in one's face, instantly making one's mouth and tongue dry.

"The second trial, the Ice and Fire Path, has begun. The Xuanjing Path is on the left, and the Lava Path is on the right. Fellow Daoists, you may choose any path to conquer this trial!" As the time was up, two elders from the Heavenly Star Palace stepped forward and announced.

Most of the cultivators present had been to this place or heard of this situation before, so they did not show any panic. They chose their paths one by one and walked slowly into the passage.

"Let's go!" Lin Mo casually called out to Han Li and Yuan Yao, then walked towards the lava path beside him.
