For a time, they all sank into a long silence, a chill crawling down their backs and their hair standing on end.
The young man's feverishly yearning expression when he mentioned the Divine Flame Evil Fruit was still vivid in their minds.
But after hearing Lin Mo's words, the more they thought about it, the more terrified they became.
The Saint King was himself a cultivator of a lower plane. There was no way he could send someone from a lower plane up to a middle plane every year.
Then what exactly was this Divine Flame Evil Fruit?
And what purpose did this so-called Ascension Ceremony actually serve?
They exchanged glances, their hearts full of doubt.
Lin Mo narrowed his eyes and said gravely, "Never mind. Let's not dwell on it for now."
"Whatever this Divine Flame Evil Fruit is, we should get our hands on it before deciding what to do."
"Senior Feng, Senior Mo, your injuries haven't healed yet. Stay in the Gourd Space and continue recuperating."
"Miss Qingcheng, you and I will head to the Heaven-Ascending Platform at once, attend the Ascension Ceremony, and get to the bottom of this!"
Without delay, Lin Mo restored the Evil Soul Seal disguises on himself and Xue Qingcheng, left the Gourd Space, and returned to the outside world.
The Jade Bottle had mentioned that the Saint King was holding this Ascension Ceremony at a place called the Nether Seclusion Temple.
Although Lin Mo did not know the place, he caught up with the main throng of soul slaves and evil beasts and found it without lifting a finger.
The Nether Seclusion Temple was a vast temple complex at the southernmost end of Bluestone Ghost City, consisting of dozens of antique pavilions and towers that exuded a tranquil Zen atmosphere.
