The ghosts moved quickly, charging straight at them.

"Pfft!"

Blood splattered everywhere.

Immediately, dozens were slain by the ghosts.

Everyone hastily retreated, trying to regroup together.

Unfortunately, their movements weren't as swift as the ghosts'.

In less than a minute, hundreds were dead.

The death toll continued to rise.

With every passing second, someone else died.

The ninth squad of the Netherworld King Hall, stationed at the front, was completely wiped out in under a minute.

Jiang Yun barely had time to react before a shadow appeared before her, a hand reaching for Jiang Yun's neck.

It happened so fast, but in that critical moment, Mo Lin intervened, saving Jiang Yun.

This level of battle was no longer something Jiang Yun could be involved in.

Mo Lin shielded Jiang Yun behind him.

In the distance, Zheng Wuji was forced back by five Ghost Kings.

He glanced back, seeing blood flowing across the ground.

The ninth and eighth squads of the Netherworld King Hall—everyone had fallen.

Even the cultivators who came to assist had suffered losses of over ninety percent.

Zheng Wuji retreated backward, standing together with Xin Ziruo.

Zheng Wuji was so ashamed he didn't dare look Xin Ziruo in the eye.

After all, just moments ago, he had boasted in front of Xin Ziruo about protecting her.

But now, he could barely protect himself.

He had no energy left to protect Xin Ziruo.

"Thirty minutes, hold on for thirty minutes, the Netherworld King Hall will definitely send reinforcements," Zheng Wuji quickly said.

"Are you dreaming? Hold on for thirty minutes?" Mo Lin scoffed.

Mo Lin's words felt like a bucket of cold water poured over Zheng Wuji.

Zheng Wuji's face immediately turned ashen.

Mo Lin wasn't mocking him; he was simply stating a fact.

The people in front of them hadn't even lasted a minute, and nearly ninety percent were dead.

Forget thirty minutes; they might not even last ten minutes.

Everyone here might die.

His arrogance had doomed everyone here.

If only he had listened to Mo Lin earlier, summoned some help from the Netherworld King Hall, or brought some backup, it wouldn't have come to this.

Mo Lin did not attempt to save those around him.

It wasn't that he didn't want to; he simply couldn't.

In this life-or-death situation, saving Jiang Yun was already the limit for Mo Lin.

"Crash..."

The Great Virtuous King Kongming's image behind Zheng Wuji appeared with cracks, then shattered violently.

He ultimately couldn't withstand the joint attack of the five Ghost Kings.

"Pfft!"

Zheng Wuji spat out blood, his face instantly turning deathly pale.

"Summon the Immortal!"

Xin Ziruo coldly snorted, a terrifying aura erupted from her body.

The ghosts charging toward them hurriedly retreated.

Even the five Ghost Kings in front paused their actions.

A white figure floated above Xin Ziruo's head.

The white shadow wielded a steel mace in its right hand.

With a cold snort, bolts of lightning descended, reducing the surrounding Cave Master Level ghosts to dust.

Seeing this scene, Mo Lin finally understood why the Ghost Mother said the Five Viscera Concealing Immortal Technique was more powerful than the Five Viscera Concealing Ghost Skill.

"One of the twenty-four Cloud-Invoking Rain-aiding Guardian Celestial Monarchs of the Thunder Department, Yao Tianjun Bin is here."

Xin Ziruo coldly snorted.

With those words, the shadow above her head became even more solid.

Yao Tianjun Bin swung the steel mace he held.

A distant Ghost King exploded with an echoing sound.

"Boom!"

A deafening explosion sounded, and a Ghost King died a horrific death.

An authentic immortal.

With the arrival of Yao Tianjun Bin, the surrounding Little Ghosts were terrified and retreated a hundred meters away.

The remaining four Ghost Kings also retreated in fear.

Though ferocious, the ghosts knew fear.

Seeing Yao Tianjun Bin's appearance, they all stepped back.

Xin Ziruo's forehead was beaded with sweat, showing the tremendous pressure this move had on her.

Mo Lin scanned the surroundings with his eyes.

Those who had survived by luck earlier had now all died tragically.

Only Mo Lin, Jiang Yun, Xin Ziruo, Zheng Wuji, remained alive.

"Let's go!"

Xin Ziruo snorted coldly.

She prepared to escort everyone out.

Just as she took a step forward, a black shadow blocked their path.

"Is this the Five Viscera Concealing Immortal Technique?"

The man muttered to himself, "The beings of the Immortal Realm either fell or willingly degenerated, I didn't expect a True Immortal to be hiding here."

The man slowly stepped out, shaking his head, "After all, just a destitute immortal, not worth fearing."

As soon as the man appeared, everyone tensed up.

The man hovered above the ground, dressed in black attire.

With a raise of his right hand, a black lotus flower surged from the void.

"Buddhism?"

Zheng Wuji suddenly recalled the person before him.

"A Jiangzhou person, Ancient Sea."

In the eyes of all cultivators, Jiangzhou people were a taboo.

When Jiangzhou was destroyed, those who survived and emerged from Jiangzhou were called Jiangzhou people.

Each of these people had astonishing skills.

In the past, some Jiangzhou people spread Daoist Skill, and some defined Ghost-Controlling Dao.

There were good and bad individuals; the one in front of them was a bad one!

After leaving Jiangzhou, he directly sacrificed a city with blood to cultivate a black lotus flower.

This was the person before them.

Ancient Sea raised his right hand, and the black lotus directly suppressed Xin Ziruo.

Yao Tianjun Bin's shadow leapt up, swinging the steel mace in his hand.

Lightning flashed across the sky.

"Rumble..."

Thunder roared.

The wind howled.

A beam-like thunderbolt descended from the skies above Yunxiao.

The entire world illuminated along with this bolt.

Lightning directly struck down at Ancient Sea.

Ancient Sea raised his right hand, the black lotus floated in the air, colliding with the lightning.

Deafening sounds echoed in the air.

Ancient Sea's body was pushed back by the impact.

The black lotus cracked but did not shatter.

He blocked one of Yao Tianjun Bin's attacks.

In the next moment, Xin Ziruo couldn't hold on anymore.

She staggered, almost falling, while the shadow of Yao Tianjun Bin above her slowly dissipated.

She had put everything into that move.

Xin Ziruo couldn't continue any longer.

If that attack had hit the four Ghost Kings, they would certainly have fallen.

Zheng Wuji's face turned deathly pale; he knew clearly he was doomed.

Ancient Sea walked steadily towards them.

"Give me a strand of immortal energy, and I'll save you," Mo Lin said to Xin Ziruo.

Xin Ziruo glanced coldly at Mo Lin, remaining silent.

"If you don't give me a strand of immortal energy, everyone here will die, including you."

Seeing Xin Ziruo still silent, Mo Lin continued, "Do you want Jiang Yun to die here too?"

"You're not afraid to die, but is Jiang Yun not afraid either?"

Jiang Yun instantly understood, pretending to tremble.

She pleaded pitifully to Xin Ziruo.

"Sister Xin, I don't want to die yet."

At that moment, Xin Ziruo's heart softened immediately.

"If I give you a strand of immortal energy, can you really handle him?"

"Yes... you just watch, leave the rest to me," Mo Lin said confidently.

"Alright, I'll give you the immortal energy."

Mo Lin's face lit up with joy.

Immortal energy... he finally obtained it.

The first stage of the Five Viscera Concealing Ghost Skill was finally about to be unlocked.
