Urban Powerhouse: Chaos Supreme

The next morning, Lin Mo followed Elder Liao and a group of people to a valley behind the mountain stronghold.

Accompanying them, besides Liao Wen, were two other elders from the White Witch Clan, one male and one female, both with strength nearing that of a Martial God.

However, both were shocked to learn that Lin Mo wanted the ”Death Spirit Gu” as it was an heirloom of the White Witch Clan. Although it was their duty to suppress it, they couldn’t just hand it over.

After some persuasion by Elder Liao, the two agreed to let Lin Mo have a look since the Evil Gu was not something anyone could control, and if Lin Mo couldn’t handle it, there would naturally be no issue.

The valley was filled with the refreshing scent of grass and trees and the fragrance of wildflowers, with lush greenery all around.

On a flat area in the valley, one could see a strange rune pattern formed from white stones, and at the center of the pattern, Earth Evil Qi was gushing out, signifying the presence of an Earth Evil Well.

The mouth of the well was the Array Eye of the array. Lin Mo glanced at the array, which was clearly designed to suppress the ”Death Spirit Gu.” The White Witch Clan had generations of expertise in Raising Gu in this regard.

Setting up this Heavenly Gang and Earthly Sha Array must have taken immense effort, probably the Clan Leader of the White Witch Clan initially intended to transform the ”Death Spirit Gu” using the array, but ultimately failed.

”Mr. Lin, this is the array suppressing the Death Spirit Gu,” Elder Liao said, standing to the side. ”Elder Ma, Elder Xing, and I come here every month to reinforce the Mana to prevent the Death Spirit Gu from escaping.”

Lin Mo casually waved his hand, and the Earth Evil Qi that was emerging from the ground unexpectedly all retreated back underground.

Seeing this, Elder Liao and the other two elders were visibly moved. They hadn’t expected Lin Mo’s understanding of arrays to be so profound. Though in cultivation, mastering Magic and Alchemy and setting Arrays were the most challenging.

The three of them could also close the array because they possessed the Key Secret Technique of the array, but Lin Mo didn’t even know this Secret Technique and yet he could effortlessly close it, evidently having a deep understanding of arrays.

Moreover, during the time they were locked up, the Old Witch Master had personally come to the Earth Evil Array but had failed to unravel it.

As everyone was astonished, Lin Mo had already walked towards the center of the Array Eye.

The closer he got to the center of the array, the colder the chilling sensation that penetrated his skin became.

In the center of the Array Eye, the Earth Evil acted like a small fountain, roughly half a meter tall, and within the Earth Evil, there was a white, translucent stone harboring a strange orange insect, about the size of a fingernail, seemingly in slumber.

And that cold sensation was emanating from this little insect.

Lin Mo slightly furrowed his brows, yet he was somewhat pleased.

Xia Mengdie’s Nine Yin Body—he had never told Xia Mengdie, but he had been devising a method in his mind to lift the Nine Yin Body, constantly validating and refuting his ideas, and had finally come up with a method he deemed most promising.

This method involved using the Soul-devouring Worm to absorb all the Cold Energy in Xia Mengdie’s body, then using an Array and Elixirs to rid Xia Mengdie of the threat of the Nine Yin Body.

”Soul-devouring Worm, I must obtain it,” Lin Mo’s eyes showed a flash of brilliance.

Lin Mo performed Hand Seals, setting up a Sealing Array to prevent the Soul-devouring Worm from waking up and escaping.

He then sat cross-legged next to the Earth Evil Well, focusing all his spirit and Spiritual Energy, and around him in the Void, golden Flame Lotuses began to bloom, each as vivid as a real lotus but only the size of a baby’s arm, with petals tightly closed together.

”What is he trying to do, does he really plan to take away the Death Spirit Gu?” Elder Xing, his hair white as frost, widened his eyes.

”The Death Spirit Gu belongs to our White Witch Clan; how can we let someone take it away so easily?” Elder Ma shook her head as she spoke.

Elder Liao said, ”Although the Death Spirit Gu is guarded by our White Witch Clan and was left behind by our ancestors, it is of no use to us. Instead, it has bound us here. Moreover, as we have now entered modern society, the younger generation of the White Witch Clan has moved to the cities. Some can’t even find wives. Staying here is pointless. If Lin Mo can really control the Death Spirit Gu, then let him take it.”

Elders Ma and Xing were still somewhat resentful, after all, the Death Spirit Gu was considered a treasure of the White Witch Clan. How could they just hand it over?

Yet, Lin Mo’s strength was evident. Even if they joined forces, they could not possibly be his match.

At that moment, the Xuanyuan Sword whooshed towards the sky, circling above Lin Mo’s head and emitting a soft chant, clearly guarding against any move the elders might make against Lin Mo.

Lin Mo focused intently, and within a short time, ninety-nine golden lotuses had formed in the void around him.

”Open for me!”

With a light shout from Lin Mo, the lotuses blooming around him one after another, emitted an extreme heat, turning the area into a sea of flames in an instant. This heat continuously resisted the Earth Evil Qi.

Soon, the Earth Evil Qi was pushed back into the ground by the flames, and the white stone also developed tiny cracks, emitting a crisp cracking sound.

At the same time, a black fog surged from Lin Mo’s fingertips, then he exhaled a stream of black fog that struck the white stone.

Lin Mo’s expression was indifferent but showed a hint of anger.

It turned out that the black fog was the Old Witch Master’s soul, which had taken advantage of Lin Mo’s intense concentration on combating the Earth Evil Qi to escape.

Furthermore, when he exhaled a stream of black fog onto the stone, the white stone instantly cracked, and the Death Spirit Gu hidden within seemed to have been disturbed and started to awaken.

If Lin Mo pursued the Old Witch Master’s soul at this moment, he would surely allow the Death Spirit Gu to escape.

Just as Lin Mo hesitated for a moment, the Old Witch Master’s soul had already escaped into the air, fleeing dozens of miles away.

”So this is the benefit of telling me your secret,” Lin Mo coldly scoffed, no longer paying attention to the Old Witch Master’s soul.

The opponent had already lost his physical body. Even if he transformed into a Ghost Cultivator, he would only be able to hide in one place and not easily emerge.

Lin Mo continued to focus on the Death Spirit Gu. It slowly opened its eyes, emitting a faint icy blue color, and a bone-chilling coldness spread forth.

”Whoosh!”

Suddenly, the Death Spirit Gu broke through the white stone and transformed into a cold beam of light rushing into the distance.

”Xuanyuan Sword.”

Lin Mo bellowed.

The Xuanyuan Sword circling in the sky instantly transformed into a silver meteor, fiercely slashing towards the Death Spirit Gu.

Seemingly sensing the threat from the Xuanyuan Sword, the Death Spirit Gu unexpectedly changed direction, flying back toward Lin Mo.

Lin Mo’s hands quickly formed spells, and soon his palms were covered with crackling thunder and lightning, sounding like small crackles. His entire palm, like clothed in thunder, stretched out fiercely, and a mighty aura permeated the atmosphere.
