Chapter 659 657: How Is That Possible!
"Kill me?"
Mo Lin pointed at himself, asking uncertainly.
This was too sudden.
Back when Mo Lin was still in Jingming Daoism, he had heard that many people were impersonating the disciples of the Jingming Daoism founder.
At that time, it was only about verifying identity, not about killing.
Regardless of whether Mo Lin's identity was genuine, the idea of killing was shocking to him.
"Yes, to kill you." Jin Ying nodded affirmatively.
"Just because I'm impersonating an heir? So you're going to kill me?"
Mo Lin understood that impersonating an heir was a serious matter, but it wasn't serious enough to warrant killing him.
"The situation is very complicated, it's hard to explain quickly. Come with me, I'll take you out of the South District." Jin Ying didn't want to waste time; he just wanted to quickly complete the task assigned by Tang Qingqing.
"How's my friend?"
Yun Xue'xue was taken back to Jingming Daoism for healing by Tang Qingqing, and Mo Lin was concerned about Yun Xue'xue's situation.
"Ah... don't mention her." At the mention of Yun Xue'xue, Jin Ying showed a look of disdain.
"What happened?" Mo Lin asked Jin Ying again.
Jin Ying opened his mouth to speak but swallowed his words, "Forget it, let's just go."
"Just say it." Seeing Jin Ying's hesitant manner, Mo Lin was a bit impatient.
It was obvious there was something about Yun Xue'xue.
After Mo Lin repeatedly questioned him, Jin Ying spoke reluctantly.
"Your friend Yun Xue'xue killed someone in Jingming Daoism."
Jin Ying frowned and complained, "She killed a tenth generation disciple, and it blew up into a huge affair.
The higher-ups want to kill you partly because of Yun Xue'xue slaying a tenth generation disciple."
The tenth generation disciples hold a very high position within Jingming Daoism.
For instance, Tang Qingqing is a tenth generation disciple.
"Hmm?" Mo Lin frowned, filled with doubt, "Why kill someone?"
It was Yun Xue'xue's first time at Jingming Daoism, and she was severely injured, how could she kill someone?
"Brother Mo Lin, you really shouldn't ask me, I don't know what's going on either." Jin Ying said helplessly: "If she had only killed an ordinary disciple, it would be fine, Senior Sister Tang could have suppressed the matter.
But Yun Xue'xue happened to kill a tenth generation disciple.
It's caused a huge commotion, and people in Jingming Daoism say you instigated it, planning to bring you back."
To put it mildly, they intend to bring Mo Lin back to Jingming Daoism.
But Jin Ying was very clear, as soon as Mo Lin returned to Jingming Daoism, he would surely die.
"Let's go, I'll take you out of the South District." Jin Ying urged Mo Lin to leave.
"I'm not leaving." Mo Lin said slowly.
"Ah..."
Jin Ying doubted his own hearing, looking incredulously at Mo Lin, "Why aren't you leaving?
Are you planning to go to Jingming Daoism?"
"Yes, I'll go with you to Jingming Daoism." Mo Lin nodded and replied to Jin Ying.
Jin Ying's eyes almost bulged out.
"Didn't you hear what I just said?
Jingming Daoism wants to kill you, and you're going back?"
Jin Ying was looking at Mo Lin as if Mo Lin was some kind of monster.
If Mo Lin hadn't behaved normally.
He would have thought Mo Lin was insane.
"I must go to Jingming Daoism." Mo Lin had a compelling reason to go to Jingming Daoism.
Yun Xue'xue is still in Jingming Daoism. If Mo Lin fled, what would happen to Yun Xue'xue?
Besides, Mo Lin wanted to get to the bottom of things, he couldn't leave in such confusion.
Jin Ying had initially planned to refuse, but seeing Mo Lin's determined expression, he sighed and nodded, "Alright, I'll take you back to Jingming Daoism.
If something happens to you, if you die in Jingming Daoism, don't blame me."
"Alright." Mo Lin nodded, and then followed Jin Ying to Jingming Daoism.
.....
Jingming Daoism is divided into the Ninth Generation Disciple Palace and the Tenth Generation Disciple Palace.
The Ninth Generation Disciple Palace houses those who hold influence in Jingming Daoism.
The Tenth Generation Disciple Palace houses a variety of people.
There are tenth generation disciples, eleventh generation disciples, and some novice disciples.
All this was explained by Jin Ying to Mo Lin, helping him understand the general situation in Jingming Daoism.
At the same time, two incidents occurred, both related to Mo Lin.
Mo Lin was highly vigilant.
Who doesn't have some cunning?
"I remember last time I came, I didn't take the mountain path." Mo Lin looked around, puzzled, and spoke to Jin Ying.
Last time Mo Lin came, he entered through the main gate, not the mountain path.
"I need to sneak you into Jingming Daoism, the matters concerning you are significant, if we enter directly, you'll be captured." Jin Ying explained to Mo Lin.
"Take me through the main gate, they wouldn't dare to touch me."
Mo Lin was confident; he was the heir of the Jingming Daoism founder, and on account of this status, nobody in Jingming Daoism would dare to harm him.
That's why Mo Lin dared to return so openly.
Moreover, there was another reason, Mo Lin felt the situation wasn't quite right.
Jin Ying squinted and pointed to the road ahead, saying, "If we detour any further, we'll be too far. Walk another kilometer, and we'll reach the back mountain."
"Take the main road." Mo Lin insisted on his idea.
The surroundings were not only devoid of people, but even the chirping of birds was absent.
Mo Lin's intuition told him something was off.
Jin Ying reluctantly stopped, sighed, and said, "You are indeed cautious."
He had laid down a lot of rhetoric, just to gain Mo Lin's trust.
He hadn't expected Mo Lin to be so cautious, beyond Jin Ying's expectations.
Five hundred meters ahead was a killing formation.
He originally intended to guide Mo Lin into the killing formation and kill him.
Since the plan was unsuccessful, he had no choice but to reveal the truth.
"Come out, everyone." Jin Ying shouted loudly at the surroundings.
Swiftly, figures in white appeared one after another.
Some landed on tree branches, while others blocked Mo Lin's retreat.
Mo Lin scanned around, there were about a dozen people.
Mo Lin looked at Jin Ying with surprise.
At this moment, Mo Lin really wanted to praise Jin Ying for his deep cunning.
He wasn't actually trying to take Mo Lin back to Jingming Daoism.
He was using inducement to make Mo Lin decide to return to Jingming Daoism, and he even advised Mo Lin against returning.
His act was carried out thoroughly.
"Why are you targeting me?" Mo Lin slowly asked Jin Ying, "Was everything you told me a lie?"
"Everything I told you earlier is true, Yun Xue'xue did kill someone, and you're indeed on Jingming Daoism's hit list."
"Why do you want to kill me?" Mo Lin asked the question he was most concerned about.
"Enough with the nonsense."
Jin Ying was obviously not planning to answer Mo Lin's question, he shouted to those around him, "Kill him."
As Jin Ying finished speaking, the dozen people all drew their swords and charged at Mo Lin.
Judging by their sword-drawing movements, it was certain they were disciples of Jingming Daoism.
Mo Lin was instantly surrounded by a blaze of sword light.
In that moment, Mo Lin had no opportunity to dodge, they attacked with lethal moves.
These dozen people all executed the top three sword techniques of Jingming Evil-slaying Swordsmanship, "Exorcism and Godslaying"
Jin Ying's mouth curled into a smile of satisfaction, facing the strike from a dozen people, Mo Lin would be severely injured even if he didn't die.
Just when Jin Ying was feeling smug, an unexpected turn of events occurred.
Jin Ying's smile abruptly vanished, replaced with a look of somberness.
A gray hue enveloped everyone instantly.
The dozen people present seemed to be frozen, their bodies stiff and movements particularly slow.
Jin Ying's pupils contracted bit by bit.
He wasn't foolish, as a disciple of Jingming Daoism, he knew exactly what Mo Lin using this move implied.
"How is this possible?"
Jin Ying shouted with unwillingness, "No way... absolutely no way..."
"How come..."
Jin Ying's face was filled with disbelief.
Meanwhile, the other dozen people attacking Mo Lin felt despair.
Mo Lin had unleashed the Jingming Evil-slaying Swordsmanship, sword technique third move: Jingming.
Unlike Jin Ying and others' Jingming Evil-slaying Swordsmanship, Mo Lin's was inherited from Celestial Monarch Xu.
"Jingming... this move has long been lost, even among the ninth generation disciples, none know this move."
Jin Ying shouted with frustration, "Why do you know this move?"
