Chapter 3686: He Won't Live Long
At the Cold Water Holy Land's frontline base, all the strong members were gathered. Gu Hanjing sat at the forefront, with Gu Hanyu, the ancestor of the Cold Water Holy Land, beside her. Although Gu Hanyu held the highest position and was the strongest, he still yielded the first seat to Gu Hanjing.
The reason was simple: Gu Hanjing was Lin Moyu's aunt. Just because of this, no one dared to take her seat. Even if she were just an ordinary person, everyone would respectfully let her sit on the master's throne.
Gu Hanjing said: "Recently, a sixth-tier soul can enter the Origin Continent. The Question Dao Sect's strongest ancestor has arrived."
The faces of the Cold Water Holy Land members turned serious. The Question Dao Sect's ancestor had descended with a sixth-tier soul cultivation, putting immense pressure on them. This was a tricky problem, as Gu Hanyu was only a seventh-tier soul, and even at the high stage, he was still inferior to a sixth-tier soul.
The balance of power between the two sides was disrupted, making the Cold Water Holy Land's situation difficult.
Gu Hanyu said: "I can form an alliance with Old Tree to handle the Question Dao Sect's Dao Lord, but apart from him, the Question Dao Sect has another Dao Lord."
Gu Hanjing added: "That Dao Lord, Qiu Xū, is an eighth-tier soul. Although our ancestors, Cang and Bing, are ninth-tier souls, they can exert their full strength on the Origin Continent, but Qiu Xū cannot. So, we can still handle him."
"The problem is that we've entangled the Question Dao Sect's Great Dao realms, and our ninth-tier Dao Venerable isn't enough."
"According to intelligence, the Question Dao Sect is preparing a secret ritual that uses a million dead souls as a catalyst. Once successful, it will pose a threat to us."
"We want to stop them, but the Question Dao Sect has a sixth-tier soul ancestor holding down the fort, and our actions have ended in failure."
"So, I plan to launch a full-force attack on the Question Dao Sect before they complete the ritual, even if it means paying some costs."
Gu Hanyu said: "I know about the Question Dao Sect's ritual, called the Wanling Sacrificial Soul. It's an ancient curse technique, truly sinister and powerful."
"Once cursed, the consequences range from a significant drop in cultivation to the destruction of the soul."
"This technique isn't targeted at individuals; its scope is vast enough to cover a large area of our holy land, even affecting the origin spiritual veins."
"I agree with Gu Hanjing's approach. Even if it means paying some costs, we must stop them."
Gu Hanjing continued: "If we fail to stop them, I'll go find my brother-in-law."
She didn't want to bother Lin Moyu unless absolutely necessary. If it really didn't work out, she would have to muster the courage to ask for his help, after all, he was her brother-in-law.
Just then, a voice came: "Brother Gu Hanyu, the Question Dao Sect's secret ritual has started!"
Everyone was shocked and immediately flew out to observe from afar. Ten thousand miles away, a black cloud rose, filled with the cries of countless vengeful spirits.
The wails grew louder, and even these cultivators felt a deep sense of unease.
The Question Dao Sect was using a million souls to perform a powerful secret ritual, aiming to turn the Cold Water Holy Land into a land of ghosts.
Gu Hanjing's expression turned serious: "It seems they completed it so quickly. Did our information go wrong?"
Gu Hanyu said: "Perhaps they feared delays would lead to changes, so they launched it early. The power isn't as strong as it would be at its peak, but it's still sufficient."
"If this ritual explodes within our holy land's range, all living beings within a hundred million miles will be affected."
"But now it's too late to stop it. It seems we can only do our best and leave the rest to fate."
The Question Dao Sect's strong members stood before the black cloud, ready to block anyone who approached.
At this moment, Gu Hanjing thought for a moment: "Ancestor, please lead some of the elders to block them. I'll go find my brother-in-law."
Just as she finished speaking, Old Tree's voice floated in: "No need to go. Lin Moyu is already here."
Lin Moyu appeared in the sky, his clear voice echoing across the heavens: "The Question Dao Sect, using a million lives as sacrifices, has lost all humanity. Today, I, Lin Moyu, will use the Mandate of Heaven to settle the karma between the Question Dao Sect and the heavens."
"After today, the Question Dao Sect will cease to exist!"
He waved his hand, and the World-Burning Fire exploded, transforming into a sea of flames that descended upon the land. The World-Burning Fire officially displayed its power on the Origin Continent, illuminating the Southern Continent.
In an instant, the Question Dao Sect disciples screamed incessantly. Some weaker Dao Venerables had their souls extinguished, their bodies turning to ash in the fire. The stronger ones used artifacts to resist, but they couldn't last long.
The two Great Dao realms in the Question Dao Sect fought against the World-Burning Fire, but their efforts were minimal. They couldn't save anyone, not even themselves. The black cloud formed by the Wanling Sacrificial Soul ritual quickly withered in the flames.
Lin Moyu's arrival was like a heavenly decree, unleashing the World-Burning Fire mercilessly, giving the Question Dao Sect no chance.
He made it clear that he came to kill, not to reason.
The flames reached the sky, drawing the attention of numerous external Great Dao realms.
"Is that Lin Moyu? When did he go to the Southern Continent?"
"He said he would destroy the Question Dao Sect."
"This is an internal conflict on the Origin Continent; why should he care?"
"He's relying on the Mandate of Heaven to do as he pleases. Does the Great Dao really not intervene?"
"Lin Moyu's authority is too great; he controls everything."
"Now, what level has he reached? He seems to have grown much stronger again."
Some people used artifacts to check Lin Moyu's cultivation level.
Lin Moyu moved his mind, and with a thought, several divine runes flew out, exploding in the air. Those who tried to observe Lin Moyu's cultivation had their artifacts shattered, revealing nothing.
In the midst of the fire, the Question Dao Sect's ancestor and Dao Lord charged out, roaring: "Lin Moyu, I'll fight you to the death!"
Lin Moyu casually threw a punch, unleashing a powerful force that shook the void. Countless fists rained down on the Dao Lord like a storm.
The Dao Lord's body exploded on the spot, his soul screaming as it was blown into the fire.
Lin Moyu's punch killed the sixth-tier soul Dao Lord, demonstrating that he had the power to kill any external Great Dao realm on the Origin Continent. This punch was also a warning to everyone: behave, or face death.
The onlookers shared the same thought: Lin Moyu never used words to reason; he spoke with strength, killing those who were dissatisfied.
This approach made many people uncomfortable.
"Now he's being so domineering with the Mandate of Heaven, but once it ends, he will surely die."
"That's right; several Dao Lords will take action. Even if he has several Dao Lords backing him, they can protect him for a while, but not forever."
"Heaven will make him crazy before his downfall; he won't live long."
Lin Moyu ignored these voices and continued to speak.
