Catching Ghosts as Head of Yin Department

Chapter 666 664: Fated Enemy

There's only one way to awaken Zhu Ci.

No second option.

Mo Lin just found Zhu Ci's soul through soul-searching.

Just as Huang Shang said, they have a destined connection with him.

Originally, the four people who possessed the Yellow Springs Book, two have already died.

Unless there's a miracle, Zhu Ci is likely to die too.

Currently, only Mo Lin remains alive and unharmed.

This is the price they pay for using the Yellow Springs Book.

Huang Shang is now collecting the debts.

"Your son's soul was taken by Huang Shang." Mo Lin truthfully told Zhu Zizai.

Zhu Zizai's face stiffened; he knew much more about Huang Shang than Mo Lin.

Huang Shang is the master of the Yellow Springs Realm.

He is also the first generation Yellow Springs Ghost.

With hundreds of thousands of Yellow Springs Ghosts under his command, he is indeed a formidable being even in the South District.

Mo Lin and Huang Shang are fated to be mortal enemies.

Their fate was decided the moment Mo Lin possessed the Yellow Springs Book.

"I can't promise to 100% destroy Huang Shang, but I'll do my best to rescue Zhu Ci." Mo Lin slowly said to Zhu Zizai.

"Leave dealing with Huang Shang to me; I'll find a way to get my son's soul back. You just need to reunite his soul with the body then." Zhu Zizai slowly replied to Mo Lin.

"Alright." Mo Lin nodded in agreement.

Previously, Zhu Zizai didn't know where his son's soul was, so he couldn't do anything.

But now it's different; knowing his son's soul is with Huang Shang simplifies everything.

Find a way to get his son's soul back.

"Thank you." Zhu Zizai gratefully thanked Mo Lin.

If it weren't for Mo Lin, Zhu Zizai wouldn't have found the location of his son's soul.

"No need to be so polite." Mo Lin replied to Zhu Zizai.

"Yun Xue'xue, tomorrow I'll take you to compete for the position of Twenty-four Solar Terms Envoy. I have a friend who is an envoy, and with his recommendation, you can definitely become one." Zhu Zizai slowly said to Yun Xue'xue.

"Forget it, it's unnecessary."

Yun Xue'xue shook her head, "I won't compete for the position of Twenty-four Solar Terms Envoy."

The depths of Yun Xue'xue's eyes revealed a firm emotion, adding: "I can become strong without becoming a Twenty-four Solar Terms Envoy."

After experiencing recent events, Yun Xue'xue decided to give up becoming a Twenty-four Solar Terms Envoy.

As long as she works hard in cultivation, her strength won't be inferior to that of an envoy.

"Alright." Zhu Zizai respected Yun Xue'xue's decision and said no more.

Night falls...

Mo Lin lay in bed, pondering his next moves.

Mo Lin initially came to the South District to learn the Jingming Evil-slaying Swordsmanship and completely master the inheritance of Celestial Monarch Xu.

Now that Mo Lin has achieved his goal, it's time to leave.

"Knock knock..."

The sound of knocking came from outside the door.

"Mo Lin brother, are you awake?"

Outside came Zhu Zizai's voice.

"Come in."

Mo Lin called out, and saw Zhu Zizai enter.

"Mo Lin, are you planning to vie for the inheritance of Jingming Daoism?" Zhu Zizai asked Mo Lin bluntly.

He already knew everything about Mo Lin.

In the Tenth Generation Disciple Palace, Mo Lin killed the First Daoist Lord, injured Fuqi, and intimidated everyone.

He broke through the Golden Light formation and forcefully took Yun Xue'xue away, this is known.

Moreover, he knows Mo Lin is the heir of Celestial Monarch Xu.

"If you want to vie for Jingming Daoism's inheritance, my Zhu Family will fully support you."

Zhu Zizai changed his tone and added, "If you're not vying for Jingming Daoism's inheritance, it's better to leave quickly."

This last sentence was undoubtedly a reminder for Mo Lin to leave.

Seeing Mo Lin silent, Zhu Zizai spoke again.

"Jingming Daoism already has an heir.

Although you didn't do anything, you've been noticed by that heir."

Zhu Zizai wasn't making things up.

Mo Lin has the Celestial Monarch Xu inheritance; in a sense, only Mo Lin is qualified to inherit Jingming Daoism.

Jingming Daoism is a vast system.

If one could inherit Jingming Daoism, it would save hundreds of years of effort.

Mo Lin now is that heir's rival.

Though Mo Lin has never met Jingming Daoism's heir.

The competitive relationship between the two is established.

"I should leave." Mo Lin thought and gave an answer.

It's not true that he doesn't want to inherit Jingming Daoism wholly.

Who wouldn't be tempted by such a vast institution?

Even the Zhu Family pales in comparison to the entire Jingming Daoism.

But.... Mo Lin is essentially an outsider, what right does he have to vie for Jingming Daoism?

That heir of Jingming Daoism has spent decades there, with deep-rooted connections.

Just because Mo Lin carries Celestial Monarch Xu's inheritance, he thinks he can claim Jingming Daoism?

Such thinking is too naive.

Inheritance can also be taken away.

Mo Lin hasn't settled matters in the East District yet, and he doesn't want to provoke issues in the South District.

At least for now, Mo Lin wants no conflict with Jingming Daoism.

Mo Lin truly doesn't want to make more enemies.

"I'll arrange for someone to send you back to the East District tomorrow. How does that sound?" Zhu Zizai asked Mo Lin.

"Alright." Mo Lin agreed.

Mo Lin doesn't believe Zhu Zizai would harm him.

Mo Lin and Zhu Zizai are in a cooperative relationship.

Besides Mo Lin, no one can awaken Zhu Ci, so for that reason alone, Zhu Zizai wouldn't harm Mo Lin.

Mo Lin was originally asleep when suddenly he smelled blood, waking him with a start.

The fresh smell of blood filled the surroundings.

Mo Lin pushed open the door and saw several severely injured people in the courtyard.

"Master Mo, you're awake." A man at the door respectfully greeted Mo Lin.

"What happened?" Mo Lin asked the man.

"The Patriarch settled some matters; it's nothing to do with you. You should rest." The man assured Mo Lin.

From one glance, Mo Lin could tell these people had been through a fierce battle.

Mo Lin didn't think much of it and returned to his room.

The next morning.

Mo Lin got up, but didn't see Zhu Zizai.

A white-haired old man greeted Mo Lin.

"Where is the Patriarch?" Mo Lin asked in confusion.

"The Patriarch is slightly injured and unable to meet you for now. I'll arrange your return to the East District." The old man replied to Mo Lin.

No one knows what happened last night that even Zhu Zizai was injured.

Of course... Mo Lin didn't inquire too much.

Just then, Yun Xue'xue arrived.

"I've thought it over, I won't go to the East District with you. I'll go find my master." Yun Xue'xue came to bid farewell to Mo Lin.

She's seeking her master for one thing, cultivation, to enhance her strength.

"Alright, be careful on the road, don't get ambushed again." Mo Lin advised Yun Xue'xue.

"Don't worry, I'm not naive, I won't make the same mistake twice." Yun Xue'xue teased Mo Lin before turning to leave.

As she turned, she concealed her smile.

She absolutely will not let history repeat with Jingming Daoism.

She needs to become stronger...

After leaving the Zhu Family, Mo Lin received news.

The pursuit of Mo Lin by Jingming Daoism has been called off.

Mo Lin killed the First Daoist Lord Qin Kui, an extremely serious matter.

For unknown reasons, Jingming Daoism not only didn't pursue this matter, but even lifted the pursuit of Mo Lin.
