Following the second loud noise, the Confucian scholar's face instantly turned pale as a sheet.
No longer able to hold the bone hammer in his hand, he heard a whoosh and was thrown away together with the second group of fist shadows.
At this moment, the third group of fist shadows did not give the Confucian scholar any time to breathe.
It flashed by and hit his protective aura firmly.
The Confucian scholar's complexion suddenly changed and instantly became as pale as paper.
Immediately afterwards, he felt a golden light flash in front of his eyes, and a vast force surged towards him.
He had almost no resistance. His body was violently shaken, and his whole body was ejected violently.
After a muffled sound, he actually crashed through the protective wall on one side.
Forcibly expelled from Wanling Terrace, he flew all the way until he was more than ten feet away from the stone terrace.
The integration stage monk of the Long family finally came to a sudden realization and stabilized his figure in mid-air again.
He quickly checked his condition and found that he was unharmed.
This made him breathe a sigh of relief.
"Thank you fellow Taoist for showing mercy. Brother Lin has great supernatural powers, and I know it is difficult to match him."
Lao Ai clasped his fists in his hands and thanked Lin Mo with gratitude.
Obviously, with the amazing power of the fist shadows released by Lin Mo before, he was able to survive unharmed, thinking that this was the reason why the opponent showed mercy.
"There's no need to be polite. After all, it's only natural to do this when comparing magical powers."
Lin Mo smiled slightly and responded in an understatement.
He would naturally not want to make enemies easily if it was not necessary.
However, the many disciples of the True Spirit Family in the audience were all dumbfounded and shocked.
Although most people have noticed that Lin Mo is not an ordinary early-stage integration monk, it only took one round of competition.
Without even blinking a few times, the opponent was knocked out of the Ten Thousand Spirits Platform by one blow. This situation was really shocking!
As for those practitioners in the integration stage who really exist in the Zhenling family, when they look at Lin Mo on the stone platform, their expressions are quite colorful.
Most people showed deep fear and admiration, but the eyes of a few people were filled with incomprehensible complex emotions.
However, Lin Mo flew away from the radiant protective shield without fear, returned to the Gu family cultivator camp and sat back down safely in his seat again.
"Master, please enjoy this cup of spiritual tea I just brewed!"
With a shy but ecstatic smile on her face, Bai Guoer respectfully presented a cup of fragrant spiritual tea to Lin Mo's eyes.
Lin Mo glanced up at the little girl and saw the faint blush on her face and the excitement in her eyes.
It turns out that this is the reason why she is so excited!
Although she knew that Lin Mo was a powerful practitioner in the integration stage, she had never witnessed with her own eyes the amazing magical powers he displayed in front of Lin Mo.
Now, when she saw with her own eyes that her master had such magical and unpredictable power, the joy in her heart was naturally beyond words.
Lin Mo took the fresh spirit tea with a smile and took a sip.
At this moment, Fairy Xiaofeng and Elder Xiao, who were next to them, were shocked by the magical power displayed by Lin Mo, and at the same time, they could not hide the joy on their faces.
At this point, the Gu family's position as the head of the five true spirit families has finally become as stable as Mount Tai, and they no longer need to worry about threats or covetousness from others.
The subsequent activities went very smoothly. Each family clearly understood the relative strength of the other families, so there were only a handful of families who really dared to compete.
After several rounds of symbolic challenges, this broad ranking competition has officially come to an end.
The next step is to distribute the many tokens created by the All-Spirit Monster according to the rankings of the major families, and to re-divide various resources and interests.
In this complicated competition for interests, Lin Mo no longer needs to participate.
All matters were handed over to Fairy Xiaofeng, the head of the Gu family, and Elder Xiao, who was responsible for managing affairs.
Lin Mo sat quietly in his seat, watching the family heads bickering and fighting over each other on the Thousand Spirits Platform, and couldn't help but feel a touch of ridicule in his heart.
I thought these family heads and elders should be personable and elegant in conversation.
However, when faced with such a major decision on wealth distribution, they have no bottom line and even go to the extent of drawing swords against them.
In order to give in a little bit of resources, they did not hesitate to get themselves into huge conflicts of interest, which shows how critical the stakes are.
However, even so, they still could not reach a real consensus.
If there is no ranking of the major families as a basis, then this debate may last for days or even months, and it may not be possible to find a solution acceptable to all parties.
Those beings in the combined stage will naturally not quarrel on stage like these family heads and elders regardless of their appearance.
They prefer to sit quietly under the stone platform like Lin Mo, waiting for the final agreement results to be announced.
Among them, there were naturally some practitioners in the integration stage who cast curious and cautious glances at Lin Mo from time to time, fearing that they still had doubts about Lin Mo's strength.
"Miracle Wonderland - Holy Island! Why do you, like a senior, suddenly mention this place?"
Lin Mo's heart was filled with ups and downs, but his face remained calm. Di asked rhetorically.
“If Fellow Daoist Lin doesn’t want to reveal the truth, then that’s it.”
"I just have an important matter that I want to discuss in detail with fellow Taoist. I wonder if fellow Taoist would like to come to Wanling Hall tonight to participate in this grand event?"
The ancestor of the Long family seemed to smile lightly, and then asked again. .
"Ten Thousand Spirits Hall!"
Hearing this, Lin Mo frowned slightly, and thoughts surged in his mind like a tide.
This mysterious place called the Hall of All Souls is a magnificent palace located on the wall of the canyon.
The elders and heads of the major families who first came to the valley gathered here to discuss various matters related to the True Spirit Ceremony.
Now this ancestor of the Long family has specially invited himself to gather here. Obviously, the matter discussed is extraordinary.
"Brother Long, can you tell me in advance what major matters we are going to discuss so that Lin can consider how to deal with it?"
Lin Mo did not refuse decisively; replied cautiously.
"Although it is impossible to reveal too much information at this moment, Long can definitely tell fellow Taoist that this matter is related to a major change after the outbreak of the demonic disaster."
"It also involves the huge benefits that fellow Taoists may gain, and may even affect whether we have the opportunity to advance to the Mahayana realm."
After thinking deeply for a moment, the ancestor of the Long family responded calmly.
"The Mahayana realm!" Even Lin Mo, who had always been as calm as a mountain, couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes several times when he heard such words.
"That's it. I have invited several other Taoist friends to participate in this matter." "Since Taoist friend Lin has cultivated the second incarnation and has a golden body of Dharma, he is naturally qualified to participate."
The ancestor of the Long family continued.
"Okay, since Brother Long invites you so sincerely, let's meet in the palace later."
Lin Mo tried hard to suppress the shock in his heart. After struggling for a long time, he finally made up his mind and replied. .
"Hey, I believe that Fellow Daoist Lin's decision must be very wise."
"The matters we discussed must be of great interest to you."
The ancestor of the Long family heard this This reply seemed very satisfactory. After replying with a smile, there was no further news.
The subsequent True Spirit Ceremony was extremely simple.
After the family heads and elders debated the allocation of resources and the division of interests, a regular ceremony was held, and the entire ceremony came to a successful conclusion.
Fairy Xiaofeng even found a secluded place and delivered all the relevant books on the blood of the true spirit and other previously promised items to Lin Mo on the spot without any delay.
The head of the Gu family could not restrain his excitement and invited Lin Mo to join the Gu family again.
He also made it clear that as long as Lin Mo agreed, not only would all treatment and offerings be carried out in accordance with the standards of the Supreme Elder of the Gu family.
And in the Gu family, Lin Mo will definitely enjoy a lofty status second only to the head of the family.
After hearing this, Lin Mo smiled calmly and declined the other party's kind invitation again.
This made Fairy Xiaofeng feel even more disappointed, so she had no choice but to invite Lin Mo to visit the Gu family when he had free time in the future.
Obviously the Gu family hopes to take this opportunity to establish closer friendly ties with Lin Mo.
For this invitation, Lin Mo naturally smiled and nodded in agreement.
So in the following time, some aristocratic families embarked on their return journey, returning to their respective territories along the original route.
More aristocratic families choose to stay in Wanling Valley for a few days in order to exchange and share various resources and practice experiences with each other.
This makes the trip of ordinary spiritual family monks worthwhile.
The Gu family also did not leave immediately, but settled temporarily in a group of temporary buildings in the valley.
Lin Mo occupied an exquisite small attic alone, and also chose to stay and continue to observe the development of the situation.
However, that night, he quietly left the attic and rushed towards the Hall of All Souls on the other side of the valley.
When he just approached the main hall, there were already people waiting quietly in front of the gate, as if they were specially waiting for his arrival.
Once Lin Mo saw the other party's face clearly, his eyes couldn't help but be shocked.
That person turned out to be Elder Hui of the Long family.
“Fellow Taoist Lin is indeed a man of great promise. Long and several other fellow Taoists have been waiting here for a long time.”
The man in black had completely lost his previous hostile attitude. Instead, he bowed deeply to Lin Mo and spoke enthusiastically.
"What's going on? Fellow Daoist Long also invited others to participate. Could it be..." Lin Mo's heart moved and he asked with enlightenment.
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Lin is really smart. No need for me to explain too much. Please take a seat!" The man in black smiled softly and turned his head to make an invitation gesture.
"Then please help me, fellow Taoist, to guide me!" Lin Mo nodded slightly and replied with a normal expression.
But Elder Hui didn't care about Lin Mo's indifferent attitude, and the two of them walked into the hall one after another.
The entire hall seemed extremely quiet, and none of the guards who were supposed to be stationed there were missing. They had obviously been asked to leave in advance.
Led by the man in black, Lin Mo came to a hidden side hall in a corner of the main hall.
There, three people were sitting around a huge stone table.
As soon as they saw Lin Mo and Elder Hui walking in, everyone's eyes instantly focused on them.
Lin Mo observed carefully and his pupils shrank involuntarily.
Among the three people, except for the expressionless ancestor of the Long family, the other two turned out to be the girl in feathers from the Ye family and the man with loose hair wearing a silver ring from the Lin family.
Coupled with Elders Lin Mo and Hui, five monks who have reached the middle stage of integration or above gathered here at once, which is really jaw-dropping.
As soon as the girl in feather clothes saw Lin Mo, her bright eyes suddenly turned, and she smiled sweetly at Lin Mo.
The man with loose hair just glanced at Lin Mo lightly, and then quickly looked away, making it impossible to guess his true inner thoughts.
On the other hand, the ancestor of the Long family, when he saw Lin Mo arriving, a rare smile appeared on his face, and he greeted warmly:
"Fellow Daoist Lin is here too, please take a seat."
After hearing this, Lin Mo smiled slightly, walked slowly to the stone table, and sat down gracefully.
Elder Hui sat calmly next to the ancestor of the Long family.
"Old Weird Long, you have summoned so many of us here this time, why don't you tell us frankly!"
The man with loose hair from the Lin family was the first to speak. , there was a trace of impatience in his tone.
"Haha, fellow Taoist Lin, be patient and wait until I introduce a distinguished guest to you."
"I will explain everything in detail."
The ancestor of the Long family responded lightly. .
"Is there anyone who hasn't been here? Fellow Daoist Long, how many people have you invited this time? Maybe even the Feng family brothers are included."
The girl in feathers blinked her eyes. , asked with a smile.
"Although the Feng family brothers can work together to display magical powers, their strength is comparable to that of mid-level monks."
"However, their combined skills are subject to many restrictions, and this operation is not suitable for too many people, so I did not invite them Two people participated."
"As for me. The distinguished guest I will introduce has actually been waiting here for a long time.”
“Fellow Taoist Qianqiu, please show up and get to know you.”
Ancestor of the Long family. He shook his head, then turned his head and shouted towards a seemingly uninhabited corner of the side hall.
These sudden words undoubtedly surprised everyone present, and they all turned their heads to look.
In the slightly dark corner of the side hall, an extremely weak aura suddenly emerged.
Then a ball of yellow light flickered, and a yellow bronze mirror appeared out of thin air.
The bronze mirror suddenly underwent a blurry deformation, and a shocking sight occurred - it turned into a young girl wearing a yellow robe and appeared in front of everyone.
When Lin Mo saw this situation, his pupils suddenly shrank and his expression became extremely solemn. He immediately asked the ancestors of the Long family:
"Fellow Daoist Long, what is your intention? Why did you bring this spiritual saint here?" (End of Chapter)
