Bai Cangzhu, Sha Shengshi, and Xiuhui simultaneously lowered their heads.
Sha Shengshi said, "All those attacking Duwu Island are from the Huaxia Demon Sect. Among them, one person is quite powerful. We were afraid that dragging it out would allow other experts from the Demon Sect to arrive, so we returned immediately to request assistance."
"I understand, I'll notify the people from Ise Shrine and Zhengrenhe Divine Skill right away. The three lords of Baban Shrine should immediately head to Duwu Island. You must know, that thing is sleeping beneath the island, and if it awakens, the consequences would be unimaginable."
The three-eyed monster spoke in a deep voice, his face taut.
"Yes, lord." The three nodded respectfully and immediately flew toward the southwest.
The geographical location of the three Great Shrines of Han Country is precisely in the southwest.
...
On Duwu Island, blood fog filled the sky.
Suddenly, the entire island lit up with a burst of milky-white light, forming a light shield that enveloped the entire Duwu Island.
"What's happening?"
Mu Lihong widened his eyes and said.
"There is a large Array on this island. Someone must have activated the sealing Array." Xuan Shi spoke.
"So what do we do now?" Peacock's two slender willow leaf eyebrows almost knit together.
Mu Lihong said, "The three who fled Duwu Island earlier certainly went to inform others. I believe that soon the cultivators from Han Country will arrive, so it's best for us to leave first."
"No, Brother Lin is still on the island..." Ye Beichen clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
"Young Master Ye, even if you stay here now, you can't help with anything. Besides, with Brother Lin's strength, he will surely find a way to leave Duwu Island." Mu Lihong persuaded.
"Yes, Young Master Ye, you've seen Brother Lin's strength. If he can't find a way to leave, then our staying here would do no good." Guo Da added.
Ye Beichen lowered his head, then nodded. He understood that his friends were right; Lin Mo's strength surpassed his own, and if Lin Mo couldn't ensure his own escape, their staying here was futile.
"Mr. Lin, leave here quickly!"
Ye Beichen gathered his True Yuan and shouted loudly.
At this time, Lin Mo, who was floating in mid-air on the island, with blood-red eyes looking into the distance, gradually regained his composure. The bloodshot lines in his eyes retreated like a tide returning.
Hiss hiss hiss hiss...
The countless tendrils and branches behind him began to retract, returning to Lin Mo's body in an instant.
Ye Beichen, Mu Lihong, Xuan Shi, and the others glanced at the island, then quickly left.
Swoosh!
Recovering, Lin Mo slowly descended to the ground, kneeling on one knee on a piece of rock, causing a spider-web like crack to form instantly.
"You've finally sobered up? Too mad!" Zhen Yuanzi floated in front of Lin Mo, speaking quickly.
Lin Mo looked at the blood rain filling the sky, a crazed smile curling his lips.
"You still smile? Don't you know you almost went into Deviation just now?" Zhen Yuanzi said, both angry and fearful.
Lin Mo gradually stood up, his eyes shining brightly, "So what if I undergo Demon Transformation? So what if I become Immortal? If Buddha blocks me, I'll become a devil; if demons harm me, I'll transform into a Buddha. Whoever dares to harm my family, I must kill them."
Even as he said this, Lin Mo knew that his Heart Demon had formed!
In his past life, he had already planted the seeds of hatred in his Dao Heart, being harmed by Lang Ya Jun and Huo Shuixian. Although this seed had not greatly affected him thus far, the moment his mother was harmed, the seed of his Demon Heart had abruptly emerged.
Zhen Yuanzi furrowed his brow in anguish, "If you want to court death, I won't stop you, but don't drag me along..."
Lin Mo ignored him, beckoning, and the seven Soul Banners scattered around the island immediately flew over, shrinking to palm-size and falling back into his hands, "So many souls shouldn't be wasted, Zhen Yuanzi?"
After speaking, Lin Mo offered the seven Soul Banners to Zhen Yuanzi.
Zhen Yuanzi grabbed the seven Soul Banners, a hint of excitement hidden on his face, "You're truly a madman. You just killed at least a thousand beings, no, they should be monsters. With so many Resentment-laden souls, you mustn't waste them."
The seven Soul Banners were Magic Treasures refined by Zhen Yuanzi, so he naturally knew how to control them. He then began to unleash Divine Skills, pulling the numerous Resentment-laden souls scattered on the island into the Soul Banners for refinement.
"Set up the Soul Banners and best hide them away to keep them from being discovered." Lin Mo's gaze was calm and bloodthirsty.
"What do you intend to do?" Zhen Yuanzi widened his eyes.
Lin Mo calmly replied, "Those who hurt my mother are surely the three who fled. They've already left Duwu Island. If my guess is correct, they should be seeking reinforcements."
"You mean to wait until they all arrive on Duwu Island and then kill them all, you..." Zhen Yuanzi was shocked, an eerie smile gradually appearing on his lips, "I like it!"
"Your control over the Soul Banners is stronger than mine. Hide them well; when everyone is on the island, not one person should escape." Lin Mo said coldly.
"No problem, such things are my favorite." Zhen Yuanzi said, immediately controlling the Soul Banners as they flew into the sky.
Lin Mo wasn't worried about him escaping; the two of them had formed a Soul Contract, allowing Lin Mo to detect any rebellious thoughts in Zhen Yuanzi's mind instantly.
Lin Mo's body transformed into a shadow, disappearing from the spot. Moments later, he appeared deep within an unoccupied cave, sitting cross-legged on a dry stone surface.
Duwu Island was covered in a layer of scarlet by the blood fog, once-green leaves and vibrant flowers turning blood red, with the air filled with a blood-curdling scent.
This place was like Hell!
"This..." Sha Shengshi gasped at the situation before him.
In ancient times, Sha Shengshi had slaughtered countless enemies, but looking at the pulverized flesh, crimson blood, and the lingering bloody scent in the air, he still felt a chill rising in his heart.
Xiuhui and Bai Cangzhu's faces were both pale; the island had been left to their subordinates, who now were all slaughtered with no corpses remaining!
"Who did this?" Moon Reading Fate's stunningly beautiful face showed a hint of anxiety; whoever did this had to be a true devil.
Jin Taiyu's face was covered with a frost-colored expression, "Investigate, see if the other party has left Duwu Island."
As he spoke, a faint voice arose from the front, "No need to look; I'm right here."
Everyone looked toward the source of the voice, seeing a black-haired, black-eyed youth slowly rising into the air, holding a heavy sword as wide as a door in hand. The sword's body was inscribed with intricately Mysterious runes, its edges crackling with azure lightning.
"Lord Zheng Renhe, he is the one who destroyed my physical body." Xiuhui's face showed a vicious expression upon seeing the youth, staring intensely at Lin Mo.
Zheng Renhe, Moon Reading Fate, and Jin Taiyu all focused their gaze on Lin Mo.
"A cultivator of Middle Innate Stage?" Moon Reading Fate said indifferently, a hint of disdain in her eyes.
"Star Wheel Mirror, Four Stars." Jin Taiyu frowned slightly.
"Dual Cultivation of Martial Arts and Magic!" Zheng Renhe spoke.
The three of them were super powerful, at the Solidifying Pill and Moon Wheel Realm; Lin Mo couldn't hide his strength in front of them at all.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time. Whoever has harmed my mother must die here today."
Lin Mo's expression was indifferent, his gaze like lightning.
The incident on the Carnival Cruise was certainly related to Xiuhui, Bai Cangzhu, and Sha Shengshi. Lin Mo would not spare any enemy daring to harm his family.
