Now, Patriarch Xue Pao was carefully observing the Beast God's cult leader to see if he could restrain himself.
Frankly speaking, Patriarch Xue Pao didn't expect this to happen either. Who would've thought that a mere mortal like Lin Jin would possess such power? Not only could he kill a False Immortal, but he could also kill a True Immortal without a problem.
Patriarch Xue Pao knew that Lin Jin must have borrowed the power of the 'Heaven's Foundation Stone'.
This made him even more envious. But all the more so, Patriarch Xue Pao knew that he couldn't rush things. If he wanted to obtain the Heaven's Foundation Stone from Lin Jin, he would have to plan things out slowly.
Just like this time, they had underestimated Lin Jin. They didn't expect Lin Jin to be so powerful, resulting in such a huge loss.
Frankly speaking, Patriarch Xue Pao's heart was bleeding at the thought of their losses. Those were eight immortals they were talking about. How precious were they in this era? And yet, they were all gone in just a few days.
Moreover, after careful calculation, the Beast God's cult's losses were far more than that.
Initially, the Beast God's cult could control the entire Grassy Continent. But after this incident, they would definitely be suppressed by Lin Jin. They might even be uprooted. Then, the Beast God's control over Grassy Continent would weaken.
That was one thing.
Another thing was that the Beast God's cult's mortal experts had suffered a huge loss as well.
Most of their high priests were dead and the Beast God's cult members had also suffered heavy losses. The remaining ones probably wouldn't be able to survive for much longer.
This was the reality.
It was originally a great situation, but no one knew how they had fallen into such a situation.
It was for this reason that Patriarch Xue Pao became the Beast God's cult leader.
The Beast God's cult leader was a True Immortal. He was knowledgeable and extremely intelligent. There was no way he didn't realize that there was a flaw in his plan.
The biggest flaw was his miscalculation of Lin Jin's strength.
Although Lin Jin had committed a heinous crime and was the one the leader wanted to eliminate the most, he had to bear responsibility for his actions as well.
After gritting his teeth, he finally took a deep breath and said, "Patriarch Xue Pao, the Beast God Cult has suffered a great loss this time. You're to blame too. After all, the Lin Jin you mentioned doesn't have such skills and supernatural powers. But now that things have come to this, I don't want to pursue the matter any further. You shall be my vice leader from now on. Now that the other party has escaped from the black fog, it's inconvenient for us to pursue him. Let's retreat now. As the saying goes, revenge doesn't have to wait until today. When I continue refining the ghost cage and achieve a breakthrough, Lin Jin will die."
He had actually calmed down.
Patriarch Xue Pao rejoiced.
He naturally hoped to continue to borrow the power of the Beast God Church. No matter what, the Beast God Church Master was a Perfected Immortal, and he could be used at crucial times.
Furthermore, Patriarch Xue Pao was certain that the other party had other plans in mind. The same was true for him. Thus, they could only cooperate on the surface and guard against each other.
Patriarch Xue Pao had guessed correctly. The Beast God Church Leader had indeed planned to do so. In fact, the Beast God Church Leader wanted to strangle Patriarch Xue Pao to death. It was Patriarch Xue Pao's plan that had caused him to lose all his subordinates. However, there was one thing that the Beast God Church Leader felt that Patriarch Xue Pao did not lie to him.
Lin Jin really did have God's Stone on him.
The reason Beast God's cult master dared to make such a conclusion was simple. Lin Jin was a mere mortal who could kill a Hollow Immortal as easily as chopping vegetables. Even his vice cult master was no match for him.
This was clearly illogical.
There must be a reason for something that did not make sense. To the leader of the Beast God Cult, the real reason was that the other party had the God's Stone.
That was the only logical explanation.
From another perspective, the Master of the Beast God Church could not blame Patriarch Xue Pao for knowing about this. After all, even he did not expect a mortal to be able to kill a Perfected Immortal.
He was also responsible for the mistake.
He had to be careful with his next plan. He could not afford to make the same mistake again. Even if he were to attack, he had to kill Lin Jin in one strike. The Beast God Church was confident that the only thing holding him back was the black fog.
He could only move around within the black fog. If the other party escaped from the black fog, he would have no way of dealing with them. Next, he needed to further condense the 'Infernal Ghost Cage'. If he could raise this sword magic treasure to another level, he could even cover half of the state with the black fog.
It would be much easier to kill the other party then.
Now was the time for a tactical retreat.
Outside the black mist, Lin Jin was stunned as he watched the mist slowly dissipate into the distance. To him, the Divine Beast Cult and Patriarch Xue Pao wouldn't sit idly by after suffering such a huge loss. There was a high chance that they would come for him. Lin Jin had already thought about what to do next and was prepared for a huge battle.
Yet, the other party ran away.
There was no hesitation at all.
This made Lin Jin wary. The other party was adaptable. By running away, he definitely didn't want to let this matter go. He must be looking for a chance to make a comeback in the future.
After giving it some thought, Lin Jin thought it was a good idea.
He wasn't confident that he could fight two true immortals at the same time. Lin Jin was even sure that the black fog's area of effect could no longer expand. If the other party could expand its area of effect by five or even ten times, it would be difficult for Lin Jin to escape a true immortal's pursuit.
"Let's fight another day then!"
Lin Jin looked down at Daluo Temple and immediately used his Four Seas Freedom Gourd to collect the water. After all, the other party had dispersed the black fog. If this much water were to pour out, it would be the biggest flood in history. After all, the water Lin Jin released was enough to fill up an inland sea.
Collecting water was also one of the Four Seas Freedom Gourd's supernatural powers.
After the flood subsided, Daluo Temple reappeared. Lin Jin lowered his head to look at the temple that had been cleansed of the stench of death and blood. When Lin Jin summoned the water earlier, he had actually protected Daluo Temple tightly. Not even the plants were damaged by the water. Now that Lin Jin had absorbed all the water, Daluo Temple looked just like before.
However, the temple no longer had any monks who chanted scriptures or prayed to Buddha.
Lin Jin's expression darkened once again.
The Beast God's cult had indeed suffered a loss this time, but wasn't it the same for Lin Jin?
Lin Jin was good friends with Daluo Temple's abbot and rectors. No one else could avenge Daluo Temple after the Beast God's cult and Patriarch Xue Pao massacred them, but Lin Jin had to.
Just then, several figures ran up from the foot of the mountain. When Lin Jin took a closer look, he was dumbfounded.
They were all young monks and Lin Jin recognized the one leading the group. It was Zhi Nian.
Back then, they became friends after a fight. Despite his young age, this monk was powerful and had an abhorrence of evil. He was a decent person and Lin Jin thought Zhi Nian would die in Daluo Temple. To think that he managed to escape.
"Appraiser Lin!"
With a sorrowful expression, Zhi Nian went forward and knelt down to pay his respects.
This was a rare sight in the past. The young monks following Zhi Nian bowed as well. Lin Jin quickly helped them up.
