"It's here!" Lin Jin stared at the Four Seas Gourd in his hand, overwhelmed with excitement. As if it had found its master, the gourd glowed with a watery glow as if it was overjoyed.
"It really is Master's artifact." Seeing the Four Seas Gourd, Taoist Hu let out a long sigh. His eyes drifted as if he was reminiscing about something.
Lin Jin had a special mantra to control the artifact. Without the Taoist around, the Four Seas Gourd obviously acknowledged Lin Jin as its master. No one could compare to him in this aspect.
Holding the Four Seas Gourd in his hand, Lin Jin could immediately feel the wonders of this artifact. It was indescribably wonderful.
However, at that moment, several furious roars came from below.
"Who are you, you thief? How dare you steal my treasure!"
Following the voice, Daoist Black Water flew up. Daoist Black Water was surrounded by a lot of black water, dragging his body through the air at an extremely fast speed.
Behind him was an old Taoist who was riding on a flying snake fish. It was an imposing sight.
And on land, at this time, a Drought Land Crab Beast appeared. This Drought Land Crab Beast's body was extremely huge. On its rock-like back, there were even flames rising up. It was big enough to seat a hundred people. However, only a red-robed Taoist was glaring at Lin Jin and Taoist Hu above the clouds.
'So this is Taoist Three Water! 'Lin Jin mumbled to himself as he stared at the three elderly Taoist figures.
Although Daoist Hu rarely went out for hundreds of years, the Black Wind Cave and the Water God Sect were both in Liangzhou, and they were considered neighbors. Daoist Hu more or less knew about the situation of his neighbors. Moreover, even if Daoist Hu didn't know, many of the hundreds of demon cultivators in the Black Wind Cave had dealt with the Water God Sect, so they knew a lot of things.
From the monsters, Lin Jin learned that the most powerful members of Water God Cult were the three experts known as Taoist Three Water. They were the first to third generation Water God Cult leaders.
However, everyone assumed that the first and second generation Water God Cult leaders were dead. After all, they were figures from hundreds of years ago. No matter how powerful they were, they couldn't have lived for so long.
Hence, the current Water God Cult should only be led by the third generation's leader, Taoist Red Water.
However, from the looks of it, the Three Water Dao cultivators of the Water God Sect were still alive.
Moreover, the Four Seas Freedom Gourd had always been under the control of the Water God Sect.
While Lin Jin was deep in thought, the man from Black Water kept quiet. Wisps of black water gushed out of his body and condensed into a giant claw that swiped at Lin Jin and Taoist Hu.
"Impudent!" Daoist Hu was enraged. He let out a tiger roar and raised his claw to attack. The two claws collided, creating a huge explosion. Black water splashed everywhere. They were actually evenly matched.
At this time, Daoist Hu's expression slightly changed. He withdrew his hand and saw that the black liquid had corroded his skin. However, this wound quickly healed.
The corrosive power of the black water wasn't weak at all. The black water that sprayed out of the water punctured the white cloud beneath Lin Jin's feet. Fortunately, it couldn't break through Lin Jin's Five Elemental Armor.
Clearly, the man from Black Water recognized Daoist Tiger. At this moment, his eyes turned sinister and his aged face revealed a shocked expression.
"It's you. You're the Black Wind Cave's … Black Wind Cave Master!" Daoist Black Water exclaimed. "You haven't changed at all. Sure enough, monsters are stronger than humans."
Daoist Hu studied Daoist Black Water from head to toe. "So it's you, little Daoist. I haven't seen you for almost five hundred years. You're still alive?"
Back when Daoist Black Water came to Liangzhou to establish the Water God Sect, he once wanted to subdue the monsters of Black Wind Cave. Despite his confidence, he returned in defeat.
He was defeated by Daoist Hu within three moves. Daoist Hu didn't kill him, merely humiliating him and chasing him away. After all, Daoist Hu was one of the six beasts. In a sense, he could be considered a Daoist. Daoist Black Water was a Daoist too so he was spared from death.
Daoist Black Water had never told anyone about this. From then on, the Water God Sect didn't dare to enter Black Wind Cave's territory. Even after Daoist Black Water's cultivation improved, he still kept his distance from Black Wind Cave.
"My Water God Sect and Black Wind Cave have never interfered with each other. Why did you come to steal my sect's treasure?" Daoist Black Water knew that Daoist Hu wasn't someone to be trifled with. He could also tell that the one who stole the gourd was a very young man.
Daoist Black Water also noticed that Black Wind Cave's master was standing behind this young man, seemingly treating him as his master.
Moreover, this young man's ability to take the gourd away through the air shocked Daoist Black Water.
But no matter what, he couldn't let go of this treasure.
His life depended on it.
Although Daoist Black Water had reached the limit of his lifespan, if he had the gourd, living for a few more years wouldn't be a problem. In fact, if he could improve his cultivation, he could live even longer.
However, without the gourd, Daoist Black Water wouldn't be able to live much longer. Hence, there was no room for negotiation.
He would fight anyone who tried to steal it.
As they spoke, Daoist Youshui arrived on his flying snake. He was currently hovering nearby, glaring like a tiger at its prey, ready to fight to the death.
Just like his master, Daoist Black Water, he relied on the gourd to prolong his life. He would never let anyone take it away.
Lin Jin glanced at the two elderly Daoists and shook his head. "This isn't your Water God Cult's treasure. Let me ask you, do you know what this treasure is called?"
Daoist Black Water and Daoist Youshui obviously didn't.
Lin Jin continued, "This is the Four Seas Unfettered Gourd that Daoist Lord hid at the foot of Mount Five Palms in Liangzhou. I've received Daoist Lord's inheritance and I'm here to retrieve this treasure. Both of you may be lacking in cultivation but you've managed to live so long because of the nourishment from this treasure's spiritual water essence. You've earned quite a bit and now, it's time to return this item to its rightful owner. If I were you, I would know what's good for me and leave …"
Lin Jin kept his guard up as he spoke.
Simply put, if Daoist Black Water listened to his advice, Lin Jin wouldn't have caused any trouble. But if he didn't know what was good for him and insisted on fighting for the Four Seas Unfettered Gourd, Lin Jin wouldn't hold back.
Having been through so much, Lin Jin was now a seasoned veteran. If the other party insisted on interrupting him, Lin Jin would strike first to gain the upper hand.
Especially after the Water God Cult had wreaked havoc in Liangzhou, Lin Jin was already thinking of eradicating them.
"You've gone too far!" Daoist Black Water cursed. Daoist Black Water couldn't possibly give up in this situation. As a sly old fox, he knew he would have to make a move sooner or later. Hence, he had already sent Daoist Youshui and Daoist Redwater a telepathic message, instructing them to make a preemptive strike.
To them, Black Wind Cave's master was the hardest to deal with. And no matter how skilled this young man was in spellcasting, his physique couldn't possibly be that strong.
With the three of them working together, they should be able to kill this young man in an instant.
After they reclaimed the gourd, even if Black Wind Cave's master was relentless in his pursuit, the three of them would fight if they could. If they couldn't, they would just run. With the treasure in their hands, they could go anywhere in the world.
