Standing in the same spot, Qin Mo felt that the whole secret territory was shrouded in a large membrane. After a flash of light, he was once again outside of the secret territory with Lin Zizheng beside him. Others seemed to be back at the same time.

As soon as he looked up, he saw Jin Linfeng in front of him. Beside him stood numerous Yueqing Sect disciples. Jin Linfeng looked gloomy, his eyes different from the past.

Qin Mo didn"t think much about it as he moved towards Jin Linfeng.

A loud shout echoed from the far corner, "Qin Mo, for a demonic cultivator, you still dare to come back!" 

The atmosphere outside the secret territory fell to silence as everyone looked at Qin Mo. 

Qin Mo paused. Turning in the direction of the voice, he saw Liu Qingzhou standing in the corner, looking back at him with a bitter expression. Liu Qingzhou"s face wasn"t as bright as it used to be and his clothes were damaged and covered with blood. It made him look extremely desolate.

He looked at Qin Mo and he remembered his cruel methods. His body unconsciously trembled.

"Demonic cultivator?" Small doubt flashed through Qin Mo"s eyes. For a moment, he couldn"t understand what Liu Qingzhou meant. Was he trying to frame him?

"Qin Mo, don"t think about quibbling, you are a demonic cultivator. I saw with my own eyes when you absorbed Attendant Meng and He"s souls." Seeing that Qin Mo didn"t want to admit his crime, Liu Qingzhou grew anxious. As he looked at the people present, he shouted out again, "All the sect heads know the truth, and you can"t pretend anymore."

Hearing this, Qin Mo"s expression s.h.i.+fted. The sect heads already knew? Did this mean his s.h.i.+fu also believed Liu Qingzhou"s lies?

Qin Mo"s attention went back to Jin Linfeng again. As if feeling Qin Mo"s gaze, his head turned slightly, no longer meeting his eyes. He could only tightly clutch his hands. He didn"t want to believe that his sensible disciple would be a demonic cultivator, but the soul lamp"s display made him have no choice.

Seeing Jin Linfeng"s action, Qin Mo"s expression was stiff. His eyes flashed with disbelief. s.h.i.+fu…. 

"Impossible, how could Ds.h.i.+xiong be a demonic cultivator!" A sharp female voice rang, breaking the silence.

Everyone felt a flash of yellow light. Jin Ling-er, dressed in a long yellow dress, appeared beside Jin Linfeng. She grasped his hand tightly, saying "Father, say something!"

His face showing a trace of intolerance, Kong Fan turned back and coldly snorted, "Jin Sect Head, even now, you still insist on protecting this traitorous disciple! It couldn"t be that you no longer want the tens of thousands of foundations that Yueqing Sect have?"

Jin Linfeng trembled. The hesitant color on his face hidden by a scowl, he fiercely reached out to hit Jin Ling-er"s neck. Before Jin Ling-er had time to say anything, her eyes turned over and she fainted.

Jin Linfeng waved a hand at a disciple and said, "Bring Ling-er back to the sect."

After listening to Jin Linfeng"s command, they looked at Qin Mo with some hesitation, then left with Jin Lin-er on their back.

Kong Xiao wanted to step forward, but he paused. His expression growing colder the longer he looked at Qin Mo, he unconsciously tightened his grip on the folding fan.

The scene was silent, only Lin Zizheng raised his lips as he walked slowly forward and grasped Qin Mo"s hand.

Feeling the warm touch on his hand, Qin Mo was shocked. He turned around to see Lin Zizheng standing beside him. Only Lin Zizheng would stand beside him.

Spotting Qin Mo"s rare soft expression, Lin Zizheng held his hand tighter. Ds.h.i.+xiong, now you know that everyone in this world can betray you, but I will always stand by your side.

His gaze swept through the murderous crowd, a glint of darkness in his eyes. Ds.h.i.+xing, no matter what, I will protect you.

"Qin Mo, you die today!" The desire in Liu Qingzhou"s heart almost fulfilled, he flashed a self-satisfied smile in Qin Mo"s direction.

Hearing his voice, Qin Mo stiffened. He slowly released Lin Zizheng"s hand, looking coldly at Liu Qingzhou. Liu Qingzhou chewed on the words and groaned coldly from his heart. Qin Mo was not a soft persimmon.

Even feeling the chill in Qin Mo"s eyes, Liu Qingzhou"s face still carried a mocking smile. There were several core formation cultivators here and he didn"t believe Qin Mo could harm them.

But then, his smile froze on his face because Qin Mo slowly drew a spirit sword and rushed towards him. He felt pain spreading from his shoulder, and in the next instant saw his left arm fall to the ground.

"Ah!" Liu Qingzhou screamed.

Seeing the blood pouring from his wound, Qin Mo"s hand trembled. He tightened his grasp on the sword"s handle. His eyes cold, he said, "This is payback."

Liu Qingzhou"s face turned white. He remembered the time Attendant Meng"s spear stabbed Qin Mo"s left shoulder in the Huangtian"s secret territory.

"Next… Since you always wanted my life, you can use your life to offset it." Qin Mo raised the sword in his hand and swung again in Liu Qingzhou"s direction.

"Kid, you dare!" Liu Yun reacted once she saw Qin Mo"s movement, her face filled with anger. She didn"t expect he would really act in front of so many masters. So, she carelessly let him cut Liu Qingzhou"s arm, but he still wanted to take his life in front of her. This was simply delusional.

She quickly covered Liu Qingzhou. With a wave of her hand, an earth wall appeared between them, blocking Qin Mo"s attack.

Qin Mo"s sharp sword slammed against the earth wall but did not shake it. Qin Mo"s brows furrowed when he saw this kind of scene, the core formation cultivator"s defense unusual.  

However, he looked at Liu Qingzhou hiding behind the earth wall and his heart grew cold. Today, he had to take his life.

Turning, he laid the longsword across his chest. Tightly holding his sword, Qin Mo commanded, "Sky-scattered sword."

Watching the surrounding spirit energy gather in Qin Mo"s direction, the audience stared. They didn"t expect Qin Mo to have such powerful trick.

Liu Yun"s face flashed a trace of surprise, then hinted at mockery. Even if the move was more powerful, there was an insurmountable gap between core formation and foundation building.

The longsword in Qin Mo"s hand erupted a purple light as he grasped the handle and slammed it against the earth wall.

The moment the sword touched the earth wall, it swayed violently.

Liu Yun"s face s.h.i.+fted as she watched. Her hands moved to once again send spirit power to the earth wall.

The longsword deadlocked with the earth wall. Qin Mo stared at it and continued to command the sky-scattered sword ability.

For a while, the spirit energy of the whole place started to move. The thick energy actually formed a visible spirit belt around him.

Not enough, still not enough. Feeling the thick spirit energy, he wasn"t satisfied. Stubbornly, his left hand kept moving.

The land at Qin Mo"s feet dried up. It seemed that all the essences were lost, the soil became sand and the plants withered in an instant.

The light emitting from the sword reached its peak and the dazzling blade seemed to cover up even the glory of the sun behind him. The ordinary sword formed a huge light and shadow in the air, each of them also forming together into an enormous sword.

"Ha!" He exhaled a breath, and the huge sword followed his movement and slammed toward Liu Qingzhou.

Liu Qingzhou watched the earth wall collapse before his eyes. The last scene he saw in his life was the giant sword that seemed to be able to break the sky.

Watching Liu Qingzhou falling in a pool of blood, Liu Yun"s face was stunned. She couldn"t maintain her high posture anymore, her face grew fierce. This Qin Mo was too intolerable, he dared to cut down her son before her face.

Raising her right hand, a golden loop appeared in her palm. She didn"t care that Qin Mo was only a foundation building junior and rushed towards him.

Seeing her fierce appearance, Qin Mo"s sword s.h.i.+fted, directly cras.h.i.+ng against the golden ring in her hand.

"Peng!" A loud sound rang out and the whole s.p.a.ce seemed visibly shaken. Numerous sparks flew at the junction between the sword and the golden ring, the blow making Qin Mo an equal match for Liu Yun. At the same time, the range of sand below his feet expanded once more.

Noticing the withered plants beside Qin Mo, Kong Fan flashed an unashamed expression and scolded, "He really is a demonic cultivator! He can absorb the lifeforce of other species!" After he finished, he ran towards Qin Mo. He wanted to take him down as soon as possible.

At the same time, a shadow pa.s.sed by quickly, ready to help Liu Yun.

It wasn"t known whether their purpose was to take down the demonic cultivator Qin Mo, or to obtain the purification spirit fruit taking Qin Mo"s form.

Before they can reach Liu Yun, a young boy appeared in front of them and blocked their path.

The tip of a longspear in the boy"s hand was pointed straight at them.
