Of course, this was all Lin Jin's conjecture. Most of it was just his paranoid thoughts running wild. Lin Jin didn't know much about the Beast Soul Cult's leader, but he had met Patriarch Xue Pao several times. The man was shrewd and experienced in scheming. His words were hard to discern between the truth and lies.
Lin Jin had to be on his guard against Patriarch Xue Pao.
Lin Jin looked up at the black fog above him and an idea popped into his mind.
Perhaps this black fog wasn't meant to deal with Daluo Temple, but him.
This was how humans were. Once their suspicions were aroused, they wouldn't be able to stop themselves from thinking in that direction. Lin Jin was no exception.
Based on what he knew, the immortals of the Beast Soul Cult had killed everyone in Daluo Temple. No one could be saved. This was one of the Beast Soul Cult's tactics. The corpses on the ground seemed to be an attempt to provoke Lin Jin.
Lin Jin was indeed furious. But he also understood that at times like this, he had to think things through calmly and carefully.
Lin Jin's conclusion was to not go in. Even if this was just a ruse, Lin Jin would accept it.
However, he couldn't just let Lin Jin leave.
Instead of engaging in direct conflict, Lin Jin had other ideas. For example, he could change his target and destroy this black fog.
After interrogating the immortal earlier, Lin Jin learned something.
This black fog was a part of the Beast Soul Cult's magical artifact, the 'Phantom Prison'. This magical artifact was so mysterious that even the immortals of the Beast Soul Cult didn't know much about it. Usually, only the cult leader and vice cult leaders were qualified to control and activate it.
The physical immortal that Lin Jin fought earlier was the Beast Soul Cult's vice cult leader.
The black fog was also condensed by the vice cult leader's magical artifact. It was no wonder he had burned the man to ashes. The black mist had vanished after that. Lin Jin thought of something else. Did the immortal's artifact controlling the black mist melt away as well?
At this thought, Lin Jin felt his heart ache.
If he had known, he would have thought of a way to get rid of that magical artifact first. This way, he would have an additional trump card. Controlling this black fog was equivalent to borrowing the immortal's power.
Lin Jin had friends everywhere in the foreign lands. Monk Huo Yuan, Spiritual Master Miao Yan, and Spiritual Master Mystic Moon. Any two of these three could wipe out the entire Beast God Cult.
However, Lin Jin knew that the chances of that happening were slim. He knew better than anyone else how powerful the Heaven and Earth Furnace was. No magical artifact could survive in the furnace and would definitely be destroyed.
After some thought, Lin Jin came up with an idea.
He wouldn't enter the pagoda forest himself as a precaution. But before he left, Lin Jin planned to create some trouble for the other party.
Lin Jin beckoned for the golden winged demon and Shang'er to fly up together. Then, they looked down at Daluo Temple from above.
In the next instant, Lin Jin patted the Four Seas Freedom Gourd. The gourd vibrated and flew up into the air. By the time it was a thousand feet in the air, it had grown immensely large.
"Fill the Sea!"
At Lin Jin's command, the gourd opened and a torrent of water gushed out. Just like when he created a sea in Liangzhou, Lin Jin planned to flood Daluo Temple.
There are several advantages to doing this.
If the other party had set up a trap and was waiting for Lin Jin to fall into it, he could destroy the trap and create trouble for the other party.
If it was not what Lin Jin had imagined, and the Sect Master of the Beast God and Patriarch Xue Pao were thinking of a way to use the Immortal Du Sutra to get rid of the immortal's corpse, Lin Jin would also be at an advantage if he were to pour the sea into his head to interrupt the other party's casting.
The surrounding black fog served the same purpose as a wooden barrel. With this, the water level would continue to rise until the entire Daluo Temple was submerged.
This was the second time the golden winged demon witnessed Lin Jin's remarkable ability to create a sea out of thin air. He was still dumbfounded. After all, the sea was already formed when he arrived the last time. Only after witnessing everything from start to finish did he realize how extraordinary Lin Jin's gourd artifact was.
Shang'er was speechless. Since ancient times, moving mountains and creating seas were supernatural powers of immortals. In fact, even immortals might not be able to do something like this.
The water level rose so quickly that the forest of pagodas had already been submerged. Moments later, all they could see was a vast ocean. Daluo Temple was nowhere to be seen.
"Brother Lin, with those people's abilities, even if they were to hide in the water, they would be able to maintain their position for a long time. I'm afraid this method is useless." The golden-winged demon looked at it and hesitated for a moment before speaking his mind.
It was true. If it was an immortal, even if they were submerged and sunk to the bottom of the ocean, they wouldn't be harmed in any way. Many mortal experts knew how to regulate their breathing, let alone immortals.
It wouldn't be a problem for them to stay down there for a year or so.
Lin Jin smiled. With a flip of his hand, a silver needle glowing with purple lightning appeared between his fingers.
"What if I add this to the mix?"
As he spoke, he flicked his hand, and the Purple Lightning Divine Needle fell into the ocean below.
Lin Jin knew that since the other party had slaughtered all the monks of Daluo Temple, those who were still alive down there were all enemies.
Since they were enemies, there was no need to be so polite.
Drowning Daluo Temple was only the first step. Despite the commotion, Lin Jin knew very well that water alone wouldn't be able to inflict any damage on the enemy.
However, things would be different if the Purple Thunder Divine Needle was included.
This was something that only a true immortal could refine. Lin Jin had only managed to refine one because of his encounter with Reverend Ingenious Yan. Coincidentally, the latter had spent several days to refine one.
Needless to say, even true immortals had to take this seriously. How could a mystical artifact that cost a lot of cultivation to refine be something so simple?
With just a slight activation, the purple lightning bolt could instantly cause massive damage to the entire ocean.
Everyone knew that water could conduct electricity.
And the purple lightning bolt wasn't just any ordinary electricity.
The next instant, the Purple Thunder Divine Needle dived into the water. Almost at the same time, the entire ocean glowed with a purple hue. In an instant, strange crackling sounds could be heard from the bottom of the ocean.
Lin Jin let out a hearty laugh. He immediately had the golden winged demon carry him and Shang'er out of the black fog.
That attack earlier might not be enough to kill a true immortal, but it could definitely make them suffer for a few days. As for a pseudo immortal, truth be told, it might not even be enough to kill them.
However, if he was lucky, he might be able to cripple or even severely injure a pseudo immortal. If the other three pseudo immortals of the Beast God Cult were down there, this would definitely teach them a lesson.
Hence, Lin Jin had to escape from the black fog. After all, he didn't want to see a cornered beast do something desperate. Even if they were to fight, they should do it outside.
As a mortal, Lin Jin wouldn't attract the attention of a Rank 9 immortal devouring beast. However, the same could not be said for immortals of the Beast God Cult. Once they showed themselves, they would definitely be attacked by the Rank 9 immortal devouring beast.
Even true immortals would have to die.
