The excruciating pain tormented him and the immortal couldn't hold it in any longer. All he wanted now was for Lin Jin to grant him a quick death so he wouldn't have to suffer any more.
Hence, no matter what Lin Jin asked, he would tell him everything he knew.
The stubborn foe Lin Jin encountered last time either refused to speak or knew very little so the help he could provide was limited. This captured immortal clearly knew a lot and Lin Jin's' thirst for knowledge 'was satisfied.
For example, how many immortals were there in the Beast God Cult?
At first, Lin Jin thought there were quite a lot but he didn't think that much. There were only nine immortals. Including the three he killed the day before and the one he just captured, there were only five immortals left.
One of them was being interrogated.
One of the other four was at the realm of true immortals. In other words, the Beast God Cult only had two true immortals and one of them had been killed by Lin Jin. This meant that the Beast God Cult had suffered a great loss in strength.
However, the remaining true immortal wasn't to be trifled with. He was the Beast God Cult's leader and his cultivation was unfathomable. Other than that, the Beast God Cult hated Lin Jin to the core and wanted him dead. They came to Daluo Temple for two reasons. Firstly, Daluo Temple had a grudge with the Beast God Cult during the immortal era so they were here for revenge. Secondly, Daluo Temple had the 'Immortal Du Scripture' which could help an immortal transcend. They wanted to use this scripture to expel the immortal's corpse from Patriarch Xue Pao's body.
This way, Patriarch Xue Pao's cultivation could be fully utilized.
At this point, Lin Jin understood what was going on.
When Patriarch Xue Pao was at his peak, he was at the seventh stage, which was the level of a Perfected Immortal. In this way, the Beast God Church would still have two Perfected Immortals. If nothing went wrong, the Beast God Church and Patriarch Xue Pao were extremely afraid of him when he killed a Perfected Immortal with a Flesh Body last time. Hence, they planned to fight two against one next time. Only then would they have a chance of winning.
Knowing this, Lin Jin suppressed his anger and asked, "You could've just come here to learn the scripture. Why did you have to kill? Even if Daluo Temple had a grudge against the Beast God Cult, that was a matter of the previous generation. Daluo Temple is now filled with mortals so why did you have to kill them all? "
However, the immortal gave him a look of disdain.
"Mortals are ants. In the past, when the Immortal Dao was at its peak, we killed mortals without question. Moreover, the Daluo Temple has a grudge against the Beast God Cult."
In other words, the other party didn't take this seriously at all.
Upon hearing this, Lin Jin could no longer hold back his murderous intent. With a wave of his hand, the spirit devourer ghost bug began to devour the immortal. Amidst the screams of agony, the immortal was devoured.
This was equivalent to killing three Immortals in a row. The Spirit-devouring Ghost Insects that he had lost before could be replenished, and there would be a lot more of them.
As the ghostly blood flowed back, Lin Jin turned to the forest of pagodas nearby.
That was the forbidden area of Daluo Temple. It was said that even the monks of the temple were not allowed to enter as they pleased. Many of the pagodas enshrined the relics of the deceased monks of Daluo Temple, hence the name Stupa Forest.
But at this moment, there was a foul atmosphere over there, and blood qi was surging.
"Not only did they kill someone, they even want to destroy their holy land. This Beast God Cult is really nothing good," said Lin Jin as he instructed the golden winged demon and Shang'er to be careful. Then, the three of them headed forward together.
They couldn't afford to be careless.
Since they knew that the Beast God Cult still had a True Immortal, Patriarch Xue Pao might have already started using Immortal Du Scripture to expel the immortal's corpse from his body.
This wasn't just the beginning. It had been more than a day now, and Patriarch Xue Pao's cultivation might have already recovered to the level of a True Immortal.
When that happened, they might have to face two True Immortals and three Hollow Immortals.
There was no doubt that Lin Jin's side was at a disadvantage in terms of combat strength. Moreover, the True Immortals they were facing this time weren't weak. They might even be stronger than the physical immortal from before.
Their chances of losing were too high.
They had to consider this possibility. What should they do then?
They had to escape. However, teleportation and teleportation formations wouldn't work in this black fog. If they forced their way through, they might not be able to escape the pursuit of two True Immortals.
Of course, there was also the possibility that Patriarch Xue Pao hadn't succeeded in expelling the immortal's corpse from his body. If that was the case, Patriarch Xue Pao's combat strength was at intermediate Hollow Immortal and Shang'er might be able to handle him.
With the golden winged monster's help, they could still fight. Lin Jin was confident that he wouldn't be afraid of facing a True Immortal.
If that was the case, this would be another chance for him to wipe out his enemies. If he won this time, it wouldn't matter even if he couldn't kill all of them or even if he couldn't kill the True Immortal.
Because according to Lin Jin's calculations, the Beast God Cult's two defeats had greatly damaged them. By then, the remaining immortals wouldn't pose a threat anymore. It wasn't like Lin Jin had never killed one before.
However, there was another possibility.
Patriarch Xue Pao might have expelled the immortal's corpse from his body. To be more extreme, if Lin Jin went over, he would have to face two True Immortals who had been waiting for him.
It wasn't that Lin Jin was being paranoid, but did the True Immortals notice his intrusion into the black fog?
Also, during the battle earlier, although Lin Jin had tried his best to be as swift and silent as possible, the fluctuations of spirit energy and spells couldn't possibly be concealed.
So why didn't the True Immortals make a move? Why did they just watch as Lin Jin killed the two True Immortals?
Perhaps the True Immortals were at a critical juncture and couldn't spare the time to deal with them?
This would be an opportunity for Lin Jin to launch a sneak attack. He would definitely be able to maximize his gains and might even be able to end the battle in one fell swoop.
This was a strong thought. Anyone would want to seize an opportunity to seize it, even if it came with some risk.
Also, after interrogating that immortal, Lin Jin learned that Patriarch Xue Pao and the Beast God Cult's leader had used Immortal Du Scripture to expel the immortal's corpse.
Speaking of which, the immortal's corpse inside Patriarch Xue Pao's body was truly impressive. It could actually restrain Patriarch Xue Pao. Not only was the immortal's aura able to attract a Rank 9 immortal devouring beast, but the corpse itself was also unusual.
Lin Jin knew he was thinking too far ahead.
He glanced into the depths of the pagoda forest and after some thought, he finally made up his mind.
He had to play it safe.
The more critical the situation, the more he couldn't advance recklessly, especially when he knew that the other party had an even more powerful True Immortal.
If he rushed in recklessly, he might fall into an encirclement.
Although the possibility was small, it was still there. Judging from the current situation, the chances of that happening were even higher. The Beast God Cult wasn't weak. Back when the five nations' allied army went up against Jade Dragon and Merak, they didn't even use the black fog or send out their immortals. So why would they do that to Daluo Temple?
There should be a simpler way anyway that didn't require such great fanfare.
Now that they were using the black fog to seal off Daluo Temple, it was as if they were purposely waiting for Lin Jin's arrival.
