Chapter 1144: 1144 **Chapter 1144: Xuanguang Deity, Borrowing Power** Shulin Moyu looked at the two people, still motionless. Lin Although the two were slightly stronger than Shao Xiuyuan, they were only at the seventh stage of the True God realm. In Lin Moyu’s eyes, they were nothing. The two took out their magical treasures, two sharp swords gleaming with cold light. Judging by their aura, they were True God realm treasures. The swords slashed through the starry sky, carrying a cold light, and landed on Lin Moyu. The skeletal armor reappeared, this time with some fluctuations and slight cracks, but it still did not shatter. The two were frozen in place, experiencing the same fate as Shao Xiuyuan. However, since their cultivation was one stage higher, their situation was much better than Shao Xiuyuan’s, and their injuries were much lighter. The three of them were terrified, not understanding what was happening. Although they were from the Great World and had extensive knowledge of it, they couldn’t immediately connect it to spell linkage. Hidden in the dark, Zhu Qiwu’s eyelids twitched several times, "Defensive spell linkage." "This brat doesn’t just have one multi-star spell..." Zhu Qiwu had previously only known about Lin Moyu’s summoning spells, which were multi-star spells. Having one multi-star spell was already rare. Unexpectedly, Lin Moyu had a second multi-star spell, and it was a defensive one. Not only was its defense strong, but its counterattack power was also not weak. With a fourth-stage True God cultivation, he could withstand a sixth-stage True God’s attack and instantly severely injure a sixth-stage True God. If it were a fifth-stage True God, they might have been killed instantly. Shao Xiuyuan and the others trembled all over, their bodies becoming a battlefield for two laws, causing them immense pain. He shakily extended his bloodied hand, his arm full of holes and almost half severed. With great difficulty, he controlled his arm to press a jade token at his waist and crushed it. The jade token shattered, releasing a brilliant light. A figure emerged from the light, wearing a dark robe, with skin glowing with a mysterious light, and each hair shining like stars in the night sky. The Xuanguang Deity looked down at Shao Xiuyuan, a flash of anger in his eyes, "Who dares to bully my grandson?" Shao Xiuyuan cried out, "Grandfather, save me." He was in so much pain that he couldn’t even faint. His body felt like it was about to explode, with the laws constantly clashing. The Xuanguang Deity pointed a finger, and a light fell on Shao Xiuyuan, intending to use his own laws to dispel Lin Moyu’s laws. Shao Xiuyuan let out a scream. The Xuanguang Deity’s power was strong, but no matter how strong, it still used his body as a battlefield. Although the Undying Law was strong, it was only at the True God realm and was no match for the Xuanguang Deity. The Undying Law was quickly expelled, and the pill Shao Xiuyuan had taken earlier finally took effect, starting to heal his wounds. Unfortunately, due to the previous clash, the pill’s effect was greatly reduced, and the healing was slow. Shao Xiuyuan took out a few more pills, swallowing one himself and giving the other two to his companions. The pain subsided, and Shao Xiuyuan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like he had escaped death. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂 The Xuanguang Deity, seeing that his grandson was fine, asked, "What happened?" Shao Xiuyuan pointed at Lin Moyu, filled with killing intent, "Grandfather, kill him for me." The Xuanguang Deity looked at Lin Moyu and, seeing that he was human, did not act immediately. Instead, he asked in a deep voice, "Did you injure my grandson?" Lin Moyu shook his head, "I didn’t touch him. He attacked me and was injured by my spell’s counterattack." "Is that so?" The Xuanguang Deity turned to Shao Xiuyuan and asked sternly, "Tell the truth, is that what happened?" Shao Xiuyuan trembled and stammered, "I did attack first, but..." "Enough!" The Xuanguang Deity interrupted Shao Xiuyuan with a low shout. Shao Xiuyuan immediately shut his mouth, not daring to speak. It was clear that Shao Xiuyuan was very afraid of his deity grandfather. The Xuanguang Deity looked at the other two, "Tell me what happened, without any lies." "Yes, sir!" The two were the Xuanguang Deity’s disciples and did not dare to disobey his orders. They recounted the events objectively and fairly. Lin Moyu indeed did not attack; they were only injured by the spell’s counterattack. Lin Moyu thought to himself, "It seems the Xuanguang Deity is reasonable and doesn’t favor his grandson." In just a few words, Lin Moyu had a rough understanding of the Xuanguang Deity’s character. He might be a bit domineering, but that was understandable for a deity. However, he was not unreasonable. When he saw that Lin Moyu was human, his aura clearly weakened. It made sense. To be friends with the Night Wind Deity, he couldn’t be an unreasonable person. The Xuanguang Deity understood the whole situation and sternly ordered Shao Xiuyuan, "You three, return immediately and do not linger outside." The three of them turned pale, knowing they would be punished when they returned. The Xuanguang Deity then looked at Lin Moyu, his gaze lingering for two seconds before looking into the void behind Lin Moyu, "Xuanguang greets Guardian Zhu." Zhu Qiwu revealed himself from the starry sky, his face serious and stern as usual. He even exuded a faint pressure, clearly showing his high status. Zhu Qiwu looked at the Xuanguang Deity, "Long time no see, Xuanguang. Your cultivation has improved again." The Xuanguang Deity sighed, "Compared to you, Guardian Zhu, my progress is insignificant." "This matter was Shao Xiuyuan’s fault. I apologize on his behalf." The apology was just words, not meant to be taken seriously. A deity wouldn’t truly apologize to a True God like Lin Moyu. If it were an unreasonable deity, they might have killed Lin Moyu on the spot in this lawless place. Lin Moyu smiled, "Senior, you’re too kind. It was just a misunderstanding. Your grandson was just infatuated and will understand when he returns." The Xuanguang Deity frowned, sensing that Lin Moyu’s words hinted at something more. Shao Xiuyuan hadn’t mentioned the reason for the conflict, only that it was with Lin Moyu. Since he didn’t say it, Lin Moyu helped him out. No need to elaborate; just a hint was enough for the Xuanguang Deity to understand. Shao Xiuyuan’s face turned even paler, looking worse. From Shao Xiuyuan’s reaction, the Xuanguang Deity guessed that his grandson had hidden something from him. He snorted and turned to Zhu Qiwu, "Guardian Zhu, I must take my leave. Let’s have tea and chat another time." Zhu Qiwu nodded, "Alright." The Xuanguang Deity waved his hand, enveloping the three in a brilliant light, and they shot into the depths of the starry sky at an astonishing speed. Before leaving, Lin Moyu noticed the Xuanguang Deity giving him a meaningful look. His eyes were calm, with a deep meaning that was hard to decipher. After they left, Lin Moyu said to Zhu Qiwu, "Thank you, Senior, for letting me borrow your power." Zhu Qiwu chuckled, "I didn’t do anything." Lin Moyu laughed, "Just your presence was enough."
