The cultivators on the entire Flame Island had long harbored resentment towards Zheng Rongji and Jin Junxiu. They used connections to secure cultivation slots on Flame Island, occupying the top eighth cave.
Most hateful of all, they injured many cultivators and plundered numerous Spirit Stones, even taking away the ten top-grade spiritual stones that Huang Ting had saved for a long time.
Now, seeing the white-haired elder come to seek justice, naturally, he was overjoyed.
The white-haired elder was Ci Wei's grandfather and one of the only two cultivators in the Condensation Stage on Flame Island, occupying the number one cave for cultivation.
"He is already dead."
Lin Mo's expression remained as ever, speaking indifferently, but two cold lights quietly flashed in his deep pupils.
"Good, you dare admit that you killed my grandson. Today, I will kill you and personally avenge my grandson. I will grind your soul into dust, never to be reborn."
The white-haired elder's gaze suddenly turned as sharp as a knife, murderous intent erupting.
Shen Tong's face turned pale. With her Early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, she could no longer withstand the violent killing intent, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, her face turning pale instantly.
"Cold Light Appearance!"
Lin Mo raised his sword eyebrows, immediately grasping a heavy Blunt Heavy Sword in his hand.
The sword body was wide, with blue arcs of electricity jumping and flickering along the edges, yet being held by Lin Mo, it seemed as light as a feather. When the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand thrust out a point, the cold light appeared!
The cold light was white-hot, as dazzling as the sun, overshadowing everything around with this single ray of cold light.
With a gentle point, the void seemed to shatter.
The white-haired elder had no time to react, a bloody hole appeared at the center of his forehead, blood gushing, running down his cheeks, his soul simultaneously destroyed by the cold light.
The second style of the Heavenly Reversal Nine Swords, Cold Light Appearance!
Lin Mo had already fully mastered the first style, Shadowless Kill, in five months, with its main focus on an overwhelming aura.
But the secret to Cold Light Appearance was one word: speed!
So fast that the enemy couldn't react, so fast that time seemed frozen.
Lin Mo had only trained Cold Light Appearance to a Basic level, but the Heavenly Reversal Nine Swords, known for defying the heavens, had imaginable power. Cold Light Appearance mainly emphasized speed, making it suitable for assassination.
The white-haired elder obviously did not see Lin Mo as his opponent; otherwise, he wouldn't have perished in a single blow. Lin Mo enhanced his combat power a hundredfold, pairing it with Cold Light Appearance, making it as easy as crushing an ant to kill an Early-stage Condensation cultivator.
"No, it's impossible."
Standing to the side, the short-statured Huang Ting vigorously rubbed his eyes, his face revealing an expression of utmost terror.
The white-haired elder was the owner of the number one cave and amongst the three hundred cultivators who came to the Hell Spiritual Vein for cultivation, the only one at the Condensation Stage. His strength was only slightly weaker than the Law Enforcement Captain, He Xun.
Yet, just now,
with one sword thrust, Lin Mo made the white-haired elder's soul shatter.
Terrifying!
At this thought, within less than a second, Huang Ting threw out all sorts of talismans in his hand at once, and his person turned into a flowing light darting towards the volcano.
Lin Mo gathered a mass of dark black flame in his left palm, shooting out an ebon light, instantly burning Huang Ting's body and soul to ashes.
As for the talismans Huang Ting scattered, they were merely some low-level attack spirit talismans, easily blocked by a spiritual barrier.
"Time is running out; I must draw out the spirit vein!"
Two beams of sharp light shot out from Lin Mo's eyes as he immediately flew towards the volcano.
Shen Tong bit her silver teeth; this was her only chance to escape, and she had to seize this opportunity immediately. She quickly formed a spell and followed behind Lin Mo.
"The volcano is a restricted area, strictly prohibiting cultivators from approaching!"
A kilometer away from the volcano, two streams of light flew into the air. The figures were fully covered in black soft armor, their faces obscured. Remarkably, they were two members of the Law Enforcement Team, each with Late-stage Foundation Establishment strength.
Suddenly, the eyes of the two widened as they looked at Lin Mo.
Lin Mo reverted to his original appearance, revealing a slightly refined and resolute face. He fiercely slashed with the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand, sending a blue arc-shaped blade slicing through the air, like thunder and flame, rippling the air into waves.
"You"
"aren't Jin Junxiu"
The two Law Enforcement Team members looked terrified. Before they could finish speaking, their bodies were already severed in two.
Two groups of black light shot out from their bodies, darting toward the sky.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
In Lin Mo's palm, two small golden swords materialized in an instant, transforming into two golden threads, cutting across a hundred meters, shattering the two black lights to pieces.
"Go!"
With a determined gleam in his eyes like never before, Lin Mo stepped on the Xuanyuan Sword, carving a path through the air towards the volcano. Time was running out, and today, the visits from the white-haired elder and Huang Ting were just a trigger.
Even without these two, Lin Mo didn't want to wait any longer. Even if it meant compromising his cultivation, he had to secure the Hell Spiritual Vein.
The energy fluctuations from the battle in the sky had already alarmed the members of the Law Enforcement Team, along with some cultivators on Flame Island.
Streams of light shot out from various caves, assembling in the sky.
"What just happened?"
"I just came out, not sure."
"There is still a strong combat aura lingering in the air."
"Intruders spotted; all cultivators, please hurry to the volcano to slay the intruders." A powerful voice reverberated within everyone's Divine Sea.
Approximately three hundred cultivators assembled in the sky paused in astonishment. Someone dared to trespass on Flame Mountain?
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh; immediately, streams of light shot towards Volcano Island, knowing that slaying an intruder would earn generous rewards from the Yin Yang Shishen Sect.
Of course, they weren't foolish. Someone daring to intrude on Flame Island indicated formidable confidence and likely considerable strength.
However, with hundreds of cultivators on Flame Island, how could they fear a single person?
"Mr. Lin, has the action already begun?"
Standing below the volcano, a member of the Law Enforcement Team clad in black soft armor murmured to himself.
The other Law Enforcer beside him appeared astonished, "What did you just say?"
"Nothing, you just go to sleep." As he finished speaking, Zhen Yuanzi suddenly revealed his true form, and with a palm strike, smashed the other into powder.
Shrouded in black mist, Zhen Yuanzi's silver-and-black mottled long hair fluttered in the wind, floating into the air.
"Mr. Lin, I'll handle and kill these people for you. Hurry and draw out the spirit vein!"
Zhen Yuanzi transmitted through Divine Thought.
"Okay."
Lin Mo decisively flew toward the volcano's mouth, ignoring the Law Enforcement Team members and cultivators chasing from behind.
If Flame Island were in chaos, Jilu City would surely be notified, and if Golden Core cultivators rushed full speed from Jilu City, it would only take two minutes.
If there were no Golden Core cultivators, other cultivators would take at least twenty minutes to arrive.
Time was incredibly precious to Lin Mo now.
"Tsk, tsk, so many cultivators, perfect for forging a Soul Banner." A glint of light flashed in Zhen Yuanzi's eyes as his hands formed a Dharma Seal. The seven Soul Banners nurtured within his body flew out instantly, occupying seven different positions, enveloping the pursuing cultivators in them.
