Wang Qiu and the others were like trapped beasts, caught in the flames, unable to escape, and could only let the fire consume them.

In less than ten minutes, Wang Qiu and all the others were completely burned by the fire.

They were all dead.

The corpses lay on the ground.

Mo Lin did not linger; he turned around and left for the Pure Origin and Profound Dao Hall.

If his guess was correct, the Pure Origin and Profound Dao Hall must have been attacked as well.

Mo Lin had to rush to the Pure Origin and Profound Dao Hall to support Wei Fu and the others.

Along the way, Mo Lin quickened his pace toward the Pure Origin and Profound Dao Hall.

Today was the first time that Mo Lin summoned the City God.

Previously, the City God had been comatose and only awoke a few days ago.

Only then did Mo Lin have a chance to call him forth.

He felt quite strong.

At least dealing with these small fry like Wang Qiu was quite easy.

.....

Pure Origin and Profound Dao Hall.

A mass of pitch-black Ghost Qi shrouded the sky above the Pure Origin and Profound Dao Hall.

It hung there like a dark cloud, floating directly above the Pure Origin and Profound Dao Hall.

Wei Fu and a few elders of the Pure Origin and Profound Dao Hall were fully engaged in repelling the ghost invasion.

An antiquely dressed man appeared at the center of the courtyard of the Pure Origin and Profound Dao Hall.

As he made his move, the ghosts around him also attacked Wei Fu and the others.

Qin Yuyu's eyes showed a hint of dread when she saw this man.

This man was Tang Wuqi.

A while ago, Mo Lin, along with Qin Yuyu and Cyan Dragon, had joined forces to fight him, and they should have already slain him.

She did not understand why he was still alive.

Not only was he alive, but he had also appeared at the Pure Origin and Profound Dao Hall.

Wei Fu struggled to fend off the surrounding ghosts.

These ghosts, with at least a hundred years of lifespan, were extremely troublesome.

Wei Fu used the Pure Origin and Profound Dao Technique to battle Tang Wuqi.

"Why are you causing trouble for the Pure Origin and Profound Dao Hall?" Wei Fu questioned Tang Wuqi.

"Because, you are in the way."

Tang Wuqi said coldly, "Only by getting rid of you can I fully grasp Xu Yue City."

He attacked the Pure Origin and Profound Dao Hall for only one reason.

The existence of the Pure Origin and Profound Dao Hall interfered with his plans, so it must be eradicated.

"Xu Yue City does not allow anyone with Dao Power to exist."

"I want to turn this place into a Ghost City," Tang Wuqi revealed his true intention.

He wanted to turn Xu Yue City into a Ghost City.

Upon hearing 'Ghost City,' Wei Fu immediately thought of Beihai from before.

Beihai should also have become a Ghost City by now.

Almost no living person resides there.

Turning Xu Yue City into a Ghost City would mean the sacrifice of millions of lives.

The ordinary people would suffer the most.

"Why?" Wei Fu questioned Tang Wuqi.

It couldn't just be a whim to turn Xu Yue City into a Ghost City, could it?

"So much nonsense."

Tang Wuqi snorted coldly.

"You should at least let me die knowing the reason, right?" Wei Fu said again.

"To seek eternal life!"

Tang Wuqi gave a single sentence.

Wei Fu's face frowned deeply at this.

There was no such thing as eternal life in this world.

If eternal life existed, wouldn't the world fall into chaos?

Understanding what Wei Fu was thinking, Tang Wuqi mocked him, "You frogs in a well would never understand."

With that said, Tang Wuqi charged at Wei Fu.

Wei Fu used the Pure Origin and Profound Dao Technique to draw a Pure Origin and Profound Dao Talisman in front of him.

Wei Fu used a talisman to suppress Tang Wuqi.

Tang Wuqi waved his hand, consuming fifty years of lifespan to shatter the Pure Origin and Profound Dao Talisman instantly.

Wei Fu staggered backward, instructing those around him.

"Activate the array!"

Several people behind him began using the Pure Origin and Profound Dao Technique.

Light converged together, forming a golden Dharma Body in the air.

It was the Dharma Body of the True Monarch of Pure Origin and Profound Dao.

Identical to the Dharma Body summoned by Mo Lin.

The only difference was that Mo Lin could summon the Dharma Body by himself.

Wei Fu and his people needed to use an array to invite the Dharma Body out.

The True Monarch of Pure Origin and Profound Dao wielded the Three-Pointed Blade, slashing straight at Tang Wuqi.

Tang Wuqi swung his arm, attempting to block the attack of the Three-Pointed Blade.

Tang Wuqi clearly overestimated himself.

The moment his arm made contact with the Three-Pointed Blade, it was as fragile as tofu.

The Three-Pointed Blade severed Tang Wuqi's right arm directly.

Blood immediately poured onto the ground.

"All together now!" Tang Wuqi commanded the surrounding ghosts.

The ghosts charged at the Dharma Body of the True Monarch of Pure Origin and Profound Dao.

With each attack, the Dharma Body of the True Monarch of Pure Origin and Profound Dao slew one ghost.

As the Dharma Body struck, beads of sweat gathered more on the foreheads of Wei Fu and the others.

For them, it was a battle of attrition without end.

Everyone could see it; Tang Wuqi was planning a war of exhaustion.

To drain them until the Dharma Body of the True Monarch of Pure Origin and Profound Dao dissipated.

At that time, Wei Fu and the others would be undoubtedly defeated.

"As that esteemed person said, the Pure Origin and Profound Dao lineage must vanish from this world!"

"The existence of the True Monarch of Pure Origin and Profound Dao's lineage will definitely hinder our future development."

After engaging with Wei Fu and the others, Tang Wuqi was even more certain that the Pure Origin and Profound Dao Hall had to be eradicated.

These people must die here.

They all possessed the orthodox inheritance of the True Monarch of Pure Origin and Profound Dao.

If they were allowed to live, it would definitely affect the development of the sect in the future.

In the air, the light of the True Monarch of Pure Origin and Profound Dao's Dharma Body dimmed little by little.

Wei Fu knew they couldn't hold on much longer.

"Qin Yuyu, take my granddaughter to find Mo Lin and let him take you all away."

Wei Fu instructed Qin Yuyu.

Qin Yuyu looked at her master to seek his opinion.

"Take Wei Xun and go. I'll stay here with Wei Fu to hold off these ghosts," Qin Yuyu's master said slowly.

Not everyone could leave.

That was unrealistic.

Someone had to stay behind to deal with Tang Wuqi and those ghosts.

They were old and, even if they ran, they wouldn't survive many years.

It was better to leave the hope of survival to the young people.

Qin Yuyu was a decisive person, and she knew Xu Yue City was no longer safe.

Xu Yue City was too chaotic.

Not only were they in danger.

The Thirty-Two Celestial Spirits might also be in danger.

For now, everyone could only seek self-preservation.

"Whoosh..."

Pitches a black flame surged forward.

More than a dozen ghosts were directly enveloped by the pitch-black flames upfront.

Mo Lin's figure appeared before everyone's eyes.

Mo Lin was panting heavily, his chest heaving; he had dashed all the way back.

Mo Lin raised his hand, and the pitch-black flame in the air, like a black dragon, swallowed the more than a dozen ghosts in front instantly.

The crackling sound followed.

Those ghosts let out cries of pain.

They immediately lost the ability to resist.

Mo Lin did not directly eradicate the ghosts but instead captured them into the Ghost Suppression Book.

These were quite a decent haul.

More than a dozen Disaster Level ghosts meant an income of over eight hundred thousand Netherworld Currency a day.

More than a dozen Disaster Level ghosts were locked into the Ghost Suppression Book by Mo Lin.

The scene suddenly became much quieter.
