When the yellow-haired old man saw this scene, his eyes flickered, and he stared closely at the cyan light that was speeding towards him.
However, the cyan light was too dazzling, and only the outlines of two figures, one tall and one short, could be vaguely discerned.
Immediately afterwards, there was a sharp sound of breaking through the sky above the mountain peak.
Then, the cyan light suddenly stopped, cyan lightning instantly appeared above the heads of many monks, and the light gradually dissipated.
A young man wearing a blue robe and a cute girl about thirteen or fourteen years old appeared.
This young man is none other than Lin Mo, who mysteriously disappeared after the Wanbao Conference and has not returned for several years.
As for that girl, she is naturally Bai Guoer, who has a body of ice marrow.
She has been accepted as a registered disciple by Lin Mo. In order to suppress the cold poison in her body, she must rely on Lin Mo's magic power to maintain her life for a hundred years.
Therefore, it is not surprising that he has been by Lin Mo's side all these years.
When a group of cultivators from the Gu family saw the figure emerging from the air, they immediately caused a burst of noise and confusion.
The auras on the surface of many people's bodies were flickering, and their eyes were full of alertness and vigilance, staring at Lin Mo closely.
"Fellow Taoist Xiaofeng, Mr. Lin encountered some minor troubles on the way, which caused a slight delay. He made fellow Taoist wait for a long time. It is really rude."
Lin Mo looked at the ground and spotted the fair, mature young woman at a glance. He then smiled and greeted her elegantly.
Immediately afterwards, his figure swayed slightly, and a faint layer of green glow appeared on his skin, instantly surrounding Bai Guoer.
Then in an instant, he was standing firmly not far from the young woman.
"No, it's just that the juniors and others arrived a little too early. On behalf of the Gu family, I would like to express my most sincere gratitude to you for being able to arrive as scheduled."
"This is Elder Xiao from my Gu family. This time, we will jointly lead everyone to participate in the True Spirit Ceremony."
The young woman's face showed joy, and she quickly introduced the yellow-haired old man beside her to Lin Mo.
"It turns out to be Elder Xiao!"
Lin Mo saw that the other party's cultivation level was no less than that of Fairy Xiaofeng, the head of the Gu family, so he did not dare to be too dismissive and just nodded politely.
"How dare you, this junior has heard of Senior Lin's reputation a few years ago."
"For the Gu family's affairs, the senior can come here in person this time, and the junior and others feel extremely relaxed."
Although the yellow-haired old man still had some doubts about Lin Mo's strength, when he faced Lin Mo, he behaved very respectfully without any slight.
At this time, many practitioners of the Gu family also realized that Lin Mo was the important helper they were waiting for.
However, being so young made everyone surprised and curious, and they started talking in low voices.
"You two fellow Taoists don't need to be so polite. The reason Lin is willing to take this trip is actually just because he wants to reach a mutually beneficial agreement with the Gu family."
"However, the supreme elder of your family, Fairy Tianli, does not seem to be here. This is obviously different from what fellow Taoist Xiaofeng said before."
"Has Taoist Brother Tianli already left first?"
Lin Mo glanced at the other Gu family practitioners, frowned slightly, and asked doubtfully.
"Why on earth are you talking about this! I'm afraid the Supreme Elder Tianli will not be able to attend this True Spirit Ceremony on behalf of the Gu family."
Upon hearing the news, the fair young woman showed a look of embarrassment and helplessness on her face.
"What the hell is going on!" When Lin Mo heard the news, his face suddenly darkened and he asked in a low tone.
"Senior, please calm down. The Supreme Elder cannot participate in this ceremony. It is an accident and it is a last resort. The specific situation is as follows..."
The yellow-haired old man saw that Lin Mo's expression was not good, and he quickly explained the reason in detail.
"Fairy Tianli was injured in the wilderness and is currently recuperating in seclusion? So it turns out that for practitioners of our level, once the vitality is damaged, it is really difficult to recover as before."
"But as a result, the ranking of the grand ceremony that your family and I originally agreed upon may face some difficulties?"
Lin Mo nodded slightly, but there was still a hint of worry in his tone.
"Since the Supreme Elder cannot take action personally, the promise that our Gu family originally hoped to improve their rankings will naturally be unable to be fulfilled."
"This time, as long as our Gu family's ranking can remain stable, it will be considered as fulfilling our previous agreement."
Fairy Xiaofeng seemed to have already considered it fully and said these words with a serious face.
"I see. Even so, the challenges involved cannot be ignored. After all, I have just been promoted to the Fusion Realm, so I really can't make any guarantees."
When Lin Mo heard this, his face relaxed a little, but there was still a hint of embarrassment in his words.
"As long as senior works hard, in addition to the resources originally promised, our Gu family has also specially prepared a batch of top-quality spiritual stones for senior as compensation for changing the agreement due to some reasons."
The fair young woman saw Lin Mo's expression of embarrassment. After thinking for a moment, she suddenly took out a storage bracelet from her cuff and handed it to Lin Mo.
Lin Mo's heart was involuntarily touched. He stretched out his hand to take the storage bracelet, his consciousness instantly penetrated it, and there was a look of surprise on his face.
"It seems that your family has very high expectations and determination for this True Spirit Ceremony, and is willing to pay such a huge amount of spirit stones as the price."
"In this case, please allow me to do my best as the guest of the Gu family during the True Spirit Ceremony."
After a brief thought, Lin Mo put the storage bracelet into his sleeve without hesitation.
When the young woman saw Lin Mo accepting the spirit stone, she couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:
"With seniors in charge, our Gu family will no longer have to worry about this True Spirit Ceremony."
"It's still about a month away from the Wanling Terrace where the ceremony will be held. We shouldn't stay here too long."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Let us set off now! Regarding the details of the True Spirit Ceremony, I will explain to you in detail together with Elder Xiao."
"sure!"
Lin Mo agreed with this.
So after Lin Mo joined in, a group of Gu family monks took to the air one after another, transformed into various kinds of escaping lights, formed a neat team, and galloped away into the distance.
…
"Tianma Wasteland" is a vast yellow land located at the junction of Tianyuan Realm and Wanmiao Realm.
According to rumors, the area of this wasteland is so vast that even if a monk in the transformation stage wanted to cross it, he would have to fly day and night for several months to reach it.
In addition, because the yellow wind is raging all year round and no grass grows here, it is known as a famous abandoned spiritual place, and few monks are willing to set foot here.
Even if monks occasionally have to pass through this place, they will only choose to pass through it quickly and will never stop for a while.
However, on this day, in the deepest part of the wasteland, a team of more than a dozen human monks formed a large circular formation back to back, suspended in the low sky.
They sacrificed their magic weapons one after another, forming a brilliant and colorful light that enveloped the entire team, but everyone's face looked extremely nervous.
Among this group of monks, the one with the highest level of cultivation was a man in brocade robes who was in the middle stage of the Void Refining Stage. He was holding a blue orb in one hand.
Holding a white flag in his other hand, he stood in the center of the formation, but his expression was angrier than the others, and his eyes were constantly looking around.
At this moment, a yellow gauze breeze quietly passed by a male monk.
The male cultivator blinked subconsciously, and at that moment, a hand as white as jade stretched out from the yellow wind like lightning.
With a "hiss" sound, the male monk's protective glow was torn apart as easily as paper, and the white jade palm penetrated his chest without any hindrance.
Then, before the male cultivator could utter a painful cry, a white ice flower bloomed on his chest, turning him into a crystal clear ice sculpture in the blink of an eye.
And that white palm disappeared from the male cultivator's chest in the blink of an eye, without a trace.
When several other monks nearby saw this scene, they all panicked and activated their magic weapons to attack crazily.
However, apart from smashing the ice sculpture transformed into a male cultivator, they were unable to find any trace of the enemy.
However, at this moment, the big man in brocade robes in the Void Refining Stage suddenly let out an angry roar, and the blue ball in his hand emitted a dazzling light, and then a blue light shot into the sky.
The speed of this beam of light was extremely fast, and it hit a certain void in the yellow wind in an instant. White light suddenly flashed, and a blurry figure appeared in the wind, tightly bound by a ball of blue light.
Seeing this scene, before the big man in brocade robes gave any orders, the other monks immediately cheered up and activated various magic weapons one after another, forming a colorful ray of light that swept away.
Accompanied by a dull impact, the black shadow seemed to be torn into countless pieces by the colorful light without any resistance.
In an instant, cheers of joy poured out from the mouths of the practitioners present like a tide, and everyone's face was filled with expressions of great joy.
However, only the strong man wearing a gorgeous brocade robe had a face full of deep surprise.
Suddenly he raised his right hand and grabbed it in the air, holding a small fragment of the broken shadow in his hand.
It was a piece of hard shell-like fragment as white as jade, extremely cold, and quickly melted into a clear liquid in his palm.
"Oops, that monster is not dead yet!"
When the strong man saw the scene in front of him, his face instantly turned pale. He shouted loudly, and then waved the white flag in his hand without hesitation in an attempt to protect himself. However, this action was already too late.
The strong man only heard a sharp hissing in his ears, and then felt a chill in his neck. His entire head was bitten off by two snow-white fangs as thick as scimitars.
Immediately following was a huge white centipede shadow, which appeared behind the headless corpse without any warning.
This centipede is five to six feet long, with six pairs of translucent crystal wings on its back. Its eyes are as red as blood, shining with a cold light.
As soon as it appeared, it opened its mouth and spat out again, followed by a thick white mist.
The five or six cultivators at close range had no time to defend themselves and were immediately swept away by the white mist. Both their protective magic weapons and their physical bodies were frozen into lifelike ice sculptures under the shroud of white light.
When the remaining cultivators saw this scene, they were so frightened that they lost their minds. Whoever took the lead shouted "Run", and everyone ran away like frightened birds.
But the snow-white centipede turned a blind eye to this, only to see the six pairs of crystal wings behind it moving together, turning into six virtual images and disappearing from sight like the wind.
In just a short while, the cultivators who could not escape more than a hundred feet let out a shrill wail at the same time. They were each split into two by a white light, seemingly unable to resist at all.
Immediately afterwards, the remains of these cultivators and the Nascent Soul within them were instantly destroyed in the dense white light.
The snow-white centipede saw the shadow, and then its huge body swayed slightly, six white lights flashed past again, and the next moment, six pairs of crystal wings reappeared on its back.
At this time, the surface of the centipede's shadow suddenly released a dazzling white light, causing its figure to shrink rapidly.
When all the white light faded, a young man in white robe with a strange golden and silver pattern on his face appeared expressionlessly.
He looked around indifferently, then stretched out a hand and pressed it towards the ground.
A stream of white air spurted out, tightly wrapping the strong man's head.
Then, a flash of light flashed over his head, and a small blue man, only a few inches tall, was enveloped in white air and forcibly sucked into it. His appearance was exactly the same as that of a strong man.
This is the Nascent Soul that the strong man has condensed after thousands of years of practice.
Yuanying wore a milky white stone lock on his chest, releasing a layer of silver light to protect his body tightly, but his face was full of fear, and he begged for mercy:
"You cannot kill me. The Blue Water Sect is a designated external sect of Tianyuan City. As the leader of the Blue Water Sect, if I die, I will be hunted down by the law enforcement monks of the Tianyuan Realm."
"These two items are our sect's second treasure of blue water. Please use them as you wish."
"In addition, I am willing to lead fellow Taoists to the place where our sect's treasures are hidden and offer all the treasures. I just hope that fellow Taoists can spare their lives!"
When the young man in white robe heard this, the expression on his face fluctuated slightly, and he seemed to be really moved.
When Nascent Soul saw this situation, he naturally begged even harder:
"Although I don't know why you suddenly launched an attack on us, I guess that this matter may be closely related to the batch of precious materials that this sect is transporting."
"Therefore, I am willing to submit all these materials in exchange for your understanding..."
Before Yuanying finished speaking, the young man in white robe showed a ferocious smile, and one of his arms instantly became blurry.
Immediately afterwards, he suddenly poked out from the void and grabbed the Nascent Soul in the white air.
Then, a dazzling light shone on the young man's five fingers, and he actually pinched off Nascent Soul's protective light shield.
The young man's arms contracted again, and he actually threw the strong Nascent Soul into his mouth, and then swallowed it in one gulp.
