Catching Ghosts as Head of Yin Department

Chapter 664 662: A Monumental Benefit

After walking for several hours, Mo Lin finally couldn't hold on any longer and completely fainted.

This battle had drained all of Mo Lin's strength.

All the techniques, whether usable or not, had been employed.

Only then did he barely manage to leave the Jingming Daoism.

If Mo Lin hadn't used the Celestial Monarch Xu's legacy power in the end, he definitely couldn't have taken Yun Xue'xue and left alive.

Likewise, Mo Lin was also aware that using the Celestial Monarch Xu's legacy power would surely arouse the covetousness of those within Jingming Daoism.

This was not a good thing for Mo Lin.

.....

A ray of sunlight shone on Mo Lin's face through the window.

Mo Lin felt a warmth on his face, slowly opened his eyes.

Unsure of how long he had slept, he felt much of the fatigue in his body had eased.

Mo Lin then realized he seemed to be in a house, lying on a very soft and comfortable bed.

"You're finally awake." Yun Xue'xue sighed heavily with relief upon seeing Mo Lin awake.

Her dark circles were severe, clearly from lack of sleep.

"How long did I sleep?" Mo Lin asked Yun Xue'xue.

"Nine days." Yun Xue'xue answered Mo Lin truthfully.

Mo Lin slowly got up and discovered his wounds had healed, and his body felt very comfortable.

Seeing Mo Lin so surprised, Yun Xue'xue explained to him.

"The people from the Zhu Family healed you using some very precious herbs."

"The Zhu Family?" Mo Lin asked Yun Xue'xue in confusion.

"Yes, this is the Zhu Family.

After you fainted, the people from the Zhu Family brought us here."

Yun Xue'xue said to Mo Lin, "It seemed someone named Zhu Ci, who said he was your good friend, arranged for people to rescue you."

The name Zhu Ci was not unfamiliar to Mo Lin.

On the contrary, Mo Lin was quite familiar with him.

He and Mo Lin had gone through many things together; Mo Lin had saved his life many times.

Back then, to escape from the pursuit of the Yellow Springs Female Ghost, Huang Shang, Zhu Ci had gone into hiding.

"What's going on? Why did you kill the tenth-generation disciple of Jingming Daoism?

And why were you set up?" Mo Lin was not concerned about Zhu Ci's affairs; he was interested in Yun Xue'xue's matters.

"I wanted to obtain the position of the Twenty-four Solar Terms Envoy, but I was deceived and fell into a trap."

Yun Xue'xue replied to Mo Lin: "Later, Tang Qingqing took me back to Jingming Daoism to recover.

I accidentally overheard someone plotting to kill you.

I wanted to catch that person but accidentally killed him in the fight."

This was the whole truth behind Yun Xue'xue killing someone in Jingming Daoism.

Initially, she didn't intend to kill; it was an accidental killing.

"Plotting to kill me?" Mo Lin also sensed something was off.

Since he went to Jingming Daoism, he had been schemed against several times.

Someone always wanted to kill him.

"They said killing you was to seize the Celestial Master inheritance." Yun Xue'xue told Mo Lin everything she knew.

Mo Lin clearly knew the Celestial Master Yun Xue'xue referred to.

Was referring to Celestial Monarch Xu, Celestial Master Xu.

In other words, someone knew Mo Lin had the Celestial Master Xu's legacy and intended to kill him for it.

In Jingming Daoism, Mo Lin hadn't exposed his identity as a successor.

Previously in the East District, Mo Lin indeed had encountered someone from Jingming Daoism, who claimed to be a ninth-generation disciple, inviting Mo Lin to return to Jingming Daoism to inherit it.

Looking back now, it must have been someone among them coveting the Celestial Monarch Xu's legacy.

It could have been that ninth-generation disciple, or it might have been someone else.

One thing made Mo Lin feel lucky.

Fortunately, back then, Mo Lin hadn't been blinded by interests and didn't blindly go to Jingming Daoism.

Otherwise, if he had gone to Jingming Daoism, it might have been a dangerous affair.

Indeed... one must always be cautious in doing things.

"Awake?"

An anxious voice came from outside the door, "Finally awake..."

The door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man entered the room.

This man was dressed in an old-fashioned outfit, a blue-gray shroud.

This clothing caught one's attention, prompting a second glance.

Between the eyebrows of this middle-aged man was a mark resembling a leaf.

There were three marks like leaves between his eyebrows.

The Three Lives Reincarnation Immortal.

This man's aura was not inferior to Qin Kui, who had previously fought with Mo Lin.

"I am Zhu Zizai."

The middle-aged man introduced himself to Mo Lin.

Although he appeared as a middle-aged man, he actually bore a soul that had lived for hundreds of years.

Before Mo Lin could speak, "thump."

Zhu Zizai knelt directly in front of Mo Lin.

This action stunned Mo Lin.

If an ordinary person did this, Mo Lin wouldn't be surprised.

But Zhu Zizai was a dignified Three Lives Reincarnation Immortal.

For someone of such status to kneel down immediately was incredible.

It left Mo Lin stunned, not knowing what to do.

"What's this about?" Mo Lin recovered from his shock and asked Zhu Zizai.

"I beg you, save my son."

Zhu Zizai pleaded with Mo Lin.

"Get up first." Saying this, Mo Lin helped Zhu Zizai up.

This kneeling act demonstrated enough sincerity.

Mo Lin and Zhu Ci could be considered friends.

Back then, Zhu Ci had even invited Mo Lin to the Zhu Family to take refuge, but Mo Lin declined.

"As long as you can save my son, whatever you want, I will give it to you.

Everything, as long as the Zhu Family can produce it, you will have it."

Zhu Zizai promised Mo Lin: "Your friend wants the position of the Twenty-four Solar Terms Envoy?

I can help him strive for it too.

I have a friend who is a Twenty-four Solar Terms Envoy.

If you want to compete for the Jingming Daoism inheritance, my Zhu Family will fully support it.

Or if you want to return to the East District to slay Evil Spirits, to kill Huang Shang, my Zhu Family will spare no effort to assist."

With one sentence, Zhu Zizai pledged everything the Zhu Family had to Mo Lin.

This was a tremendous promise.

The Zhu Family still had significant influence in the South District.

Moreover, Zhu Zizai was a Three Lives Reincarnation Immortal; he's an excellent ally.

Seeing Mo Lin not speaking, Zhu Zizai grabbed Mo Lin's hand and said again: "You need me.

Two fists are no match for four hands; no matter how strong you are alone, there's a limit.

You just experienced the events in Jingming Daoism and should know one person's strength is limited."

Indeed, Zhu Zizai was right; one person's strength is limited.

Previously in the East District, Mo Lin also had support, relying on his sister, relying on the tens of thousands of ghosts, which allowed Mo Lin later to have the strength to confront any force.

"As long as you can save my son, I will help you." Zhu Zizai valued his son greatly.

Zhu Ci was the future of the Zhu Family.

The Zhu Family couldn't let Zhu Ci die.

The only person who could save Zhu Ci was Mo Lin.

And it had to be Mo Lin.

This enormous promise would tempt anyone.

Correspondingly, it must be a particularly difficult matter.

Otherwise, Zhu Zizai wouldn't have made such a significant promise.

"Take me to see Zhu Ci." Mo Lin said slowly to Zhu Zizai.

Without hesitation, Zhu Zizai took Mo Lin to see Zhu Ci.
