I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 2073 The Mochigan Tribe
Chen Lin frowned.

He also failed to grasp the subtlety of the Purple Emperor's move.

Although he was less affected by the rune and could see its structure, he couldn't figure out its function; it seemed to be just an ordinary rune with color.

but.

If the opponent's methods have an effect on him, it means they possess higher-dimensional characteristics, and he should not be careless.

Chen Lin did not move.

The four people from Qiren Island beside him watched silently, showing no intention of intervening.

But the four of them also looked very serious.

They all sensed the extraordinary power of the Purple Emperor's divine abilities and wondered if they could safely resolve the situation if they were to deal with it.

"Meow!"

The black cat on the mist master's shoulder meowed again.

The cat's meow had a magical effect, waking him from his daze. He immediately activated the red jade crown on his head, which emitted rays of red light that enveloped him completely.

But it's no use.

The crimson light was powerful, but it had no effect on suppressing the Purple Emperor's methods.

The Mist Lord's body grew increasingly purple and brighter, radiating a metallic sheen.

Chen Lin glanced at the Purple Emperor.

The other party remained indifferently floating in the distance.

Their gazes weren't even on the Mist Lord, as if they didn't consider the Mist Lord an enemy of equal strength.

This made him very confused.

Given their abilities, they could have saved Li Yuanlei just now, so why didn't they make a move?

While thinking.

A childish voice appeared in my mind.

"Please save him! He's about to turn into a gold nugget. I'm counting on him to help me find my mother. If you save him, I can help you out in the future."

Chen Lin's eyes flashed.

He looked down at the mist lord's shoulder and saw the little black cat looking at him, nodding gently to indicate that it was the cat speaking.

Even if the other party hadn't asked for help, Chen Lin wouldn't have stood idly by.

The Mist Lord killed Li Yuanlei to curry favor with him; if he didn't take action, no one would be willing to work for him in the future.

Moreover, Li Yuanlei is someone he is determined to kill.

Li Fuyao will not stay either.

Therefore, the relationship between him and the Purple Emperor could not be improved, and the Mist Lord was his natural ally.

What piqued Chen Lin's curiosity was that he had always thought this cat was the Mist Lord's spirit pet, but now it seemed that it was not what he had imagined.

I didn’t think much more about it.

Chen Lin immediately took action.

The Mist Lord's body has reached its limit. If he doesn't make a move soon, he will probably turn into a piece of purple gold.

A thought came to my mind.

A diamond-shaped eyeball appeared between his brows.

In the Heavenly Eye's vision, the Mist Lord's body was undergoing a mysterious change; the purple rune had unfurled and transformed into lines.

These lines emanated a purple aura, freezing the opponent's body and soul, slowly but steadily eroding them.

The Lord of Mist did not resist.

The opponent possesses several supernatural powers, but they are completely ineffective, much like the erosion of nightmare energy on low-level cultivators—it can be sensed, but cannot be resisted.

He pondered for a moment.

Chen Lin separated his true soul body and merged it into the other party's body in a flash.

Another flash.

Then it detached itself from the other person.

The lines formed by those purple runes were all transferred to the true soul's body.

The Purple Emperor finally reacted.

He looked at Chen Lin with great interest, seemingly wanting to see how Chen Lin would neutralize his supernatural power.

Chen Lin didn't make any fancy moves.

Flames surged all over his body, tempering his true soul. The lines inside, like injured tentacles, all retracted and returned to the shape of runes.

Even so.

Chen Lin was surprised, not pleased.

This rune was so powerful that even the True Fire of the Sun couldn't burn it. This was done within his own body, without any worries, as he used the True Fire of the Sun to its fullest extent.

The fact that they still failed to achieve anything indicates that the level of the runes was very high.

In addition, he also used the energy of the Soul-Destroying Finger.

It didn't work either.

This indicates that runes are not something sinister, but rather a legitimate means.

Chen Lin intensified the burning of the flames while simultaneously channeling his inner energy, attempting to envelop the runes and slowly erode them. Since he was operating within his true soul body, his physical body still possessed the ability to protect itself, so there was no need to worry.

But before he could even mobilize his internal energy...

The shrunken purple rune flicked gently and flew out of his true soul body.

It was captured by the Purple Emperor.

"Good means."

The Purple Emperor spoke calmly.

Her voice had completely lost any trace of Zi Ning's former self, instead becoming an imposing and authoritative one.

When Liu Yue saw Zi Di speak, she was clearly taken aback for a moment, and then flew back behind Zi Di.

The Purple Emperor scrutinized Chen Lin.

Nod slightly.

"Indeed, you are a chosen one, growing faster than I imagined. But whether you can gain freedom depends on whether you can sever that final thread."

"Let me remind you."

The Purple Emperor paused for a moment, as if he had some reservations.

But in the end, he still said, "Don't try to escape. As long as the string is kept, you will always be someone else's plaything. Once you leave the pond, you will have even less chance to break free."

Before Chen Lin could ask any questions...

He glanced at the rainbow bridge above.

He said in an unusual voice, "We are both fish, so it doesn't matter who wields this sword. Since you have the ability to sever ties, then you should wield the sword. I will go do other things."

After saying that, he stepped into the air and disappeared.

Chen Lin's expression changed as he was about to make a move, but he was stopped by Guo Tiezui beside him.

A voice transmission sounded in my mind.

"Don't act impulsively; you may not be a match for them."

There was a pause.

He added, "That Princess Ning is very capable."

In the time that was delayed, the Purple Emperor and the others had already disappeared.

Chen Lin withdrew his gaze and looked at Guo Tiezui, "Master Guo, do you perhaps know that Princess Ning?"

"do not know."

Guo Tiezui shook his head.

"But I've heard of the Mochigan Clan. It's a very ancient race that dates back to the beginning of time. They're said to be the family of the Star Lord's Daoist partner. This family played a significant role in the creation of the Seven Star Realm."

Chen Lin was stunned.

This is quite a powerful background.

He immediately asked, "Is the Star Lord the one who created the Seven Star Realms? What is the relationship between him and the Star Emperor?"

"I don't know."

Guo Tiezui shook his head again.

"The time has been too long, and some things have long been submerged in the river of history. However, since the Fisherman of Tianhu dared to kill the Star Emperor and seize the Seven Star Realm, either the Star Lord has already fallen, or the Star Emperor and the Star Lord have no relation."

Chen Lin was somewhat surprised when the other party directly mentioned the name of the Fisherman of Tianhu Lake.

Guo Tiezui smiled.

"It's alright. Near the Rainbow Bridge, the Heavenly Lake Fisherman's senses will be interfered with. Just mentioning his name won't cause any problems. Although the Overlord is strong, he's not that ridiculously strong."

A brief explanation follows.

He added, “The Mochigan tribe is not only the clan of the Star Lord’s Daoist partners, but is also extraordinary in the Star Ruins. According to ancient secret records, it is extremely difficult for this tribe to reproduce, but once a child is born, he will possess extremely terrifying supernatural powers.”

He saw Chen Lin looking at him.

Guo Tiezui then offered another explanation.

"I have the ability to observe qi, and I can tell that Princess Ning's qi is no weaker than yours. With the addition of the Purple Emperor, the odds of winning are fifty-fifty. It's not like we have a life-or-death feud, so it's best not to risk your life."

Chen Lin nodded.

"Thank you for the reminder, Master Guo."

He suspected that the other party didn't want to be implicated, which is why they spoke up to stop it.

But what they said is correct.

There was no irreconcilable conflict between him and the Purple Emperor. The fact that the other party watched Li Yuanlei being killed was considered a way out for him, so there was no need for him to fight to the death.

As for Li Fuyao...

We can figure out how to fix it later.
