Catching Ghosts as Head of Yin Department

Chapter 690 688: Mountains of Corpses, Rivers of Blood

The intense pain surged through Mo Fengxiao, causing his body to collapse on the ground, and at this moment he couldn't even muster the strength to lift his head.

It's not that he doesn't want to stand up, it's just that he can't.

Mo Lin's terrifying power had crushed every bone in Mo Fengxiao's body.

Mo Fengxiao's eyes revealed an emotion of unwillingness.

The pitch-black liquid encased Mo Lin's body, giving off an inexplicable sense of oppression.

In the distance, the faces of Gen Family and others were gloomy, watching Mo Lin with expressions of fear.

This fear arose from an instinctual reverence.

Six-Eared Mingyue stood up in shock.

Her calm face once again showed an emotional fluctuation.

"So powerful?" Six-Eared Mingyue couldn't help but exclaim.

Previously when Mo Lin displayed the Celestial Monarch Xu's legacy, Six-Eared Mingyue only felt surprised.

But now, Six-Eared Mingyue felt a sense of awe at Mo Lin's power.

At this moment, she even felt that Mo Lin had the ability to challenge her.

Mo Lin grabbed Mo Fengxiao's neck, lifting him like a dead dog.

"How did you get the Eight Immortals Ghost's Immortal Ghost Technique?" Mo Lin questioned Mo Fengxiao.

Mo Fengxiao glanced to the left, completely disdainful of answering Mo Lin's question.

It's undeniable that Mo Fengxiao's character was decent; at least, under the threat of death, he didn't reveal any information detrimental to Xin Ziruo.

After a moment, Mo Fengxiao finally spoke.

"Don't expect to trick any words out of me; I can afford to lose and I'm prepared to die."

As soon as Mo Fengxiao finished speaking, Mo Lin immediately moved and snapped Mo Fengxiao's neck.

The color drained from Mo Fengxiao's face instantly, his life ended.

With Mo Fengxiao's death, the outcome of the battle was without suspense—Mo Lin won.

Mo Lin looked around.

The people of the Gen Family, their demeanor ragged, formed a stark contrast to the Gen Family three years ago.

Three years ago, how spirited the Gen Family was.

In the entire Hongzhou, and even the East District, they were among the top.

But now, the entire Gen Family displayed a desolate appearance.

Mo Lin slowly came to Gen Family Business's side, patted his shoulder and comforted, "It's fine now."

Although he spoke these reassuring words, Mo Lin felt very guilty inside.

He knew clearly that the Gen Family's current predicament had a close connection to him.

Gen Family Business sat on the ground, slowly revealing a smile, "It's fine now, I'm used to it."

Perhaps at this moment, a smile could relieve his pressure.

Yuan Hong and others in the distance dared not make any unnecessary movements.

This group of people stood on the ground like puppets.

"Mo, should we escape?"

Gen Family Business said to Mo Lin with a half-joking tone, "The powerful entities in the East District are increasing in number; this place is no longer suitable for ordinary people to live."

Gen Family Business is different from Mo Lin.

Mo Lin disappeared for a year and then left the East District, going to the South District.

So Mo Lin wasn't aware of how quickly the East District was changing.

Now, those who can survive in the East District, whether individuals or families, have something or someone to rely on behind them.

"What's wrong?" Mo Lin asked Gen Family Business, "Feeling pressured?"

Upon hearing Mo Lin's inquiry, Gen Family Business finally couldn't hold back.

He reached out and tightly grasped Mo Lin's arm, his eyes moist.

"I'm afraid every day; I'm afraid my family will be wiped out.

Every morning when I wake up, I'm afraid I'll see my cousins' corpses.

I'm not afraid of dying myself, but I'm carrying the entire Gen Family, hundreds of lives."

Gen Family Business's voice trembled; perhaps only in front of Mo Lin would he reveal such a vulnerable side.

"Alright, alright, it's fine now." Mo Lin patted Gen Family Business's shoulder to comfort him, "I'm back.

If the sky falls, I'll hold it up."

After thinking for a moment, Mo Lin added, "I'll think of a way to see if I can get you all out of the East District."

This is the only thing Mo Lin can do for Gen Family Business at the moment.

Yuan Hong finally spoke from the side, "Lord Mo Lin, please hurry and escape.

If the Goddess finds out you're back and killed her disciple, there'll be no place for you in the East District."

Yuan Hong was simply kind, advising Mo Lin to leave.

Mo Lin was especially sensitive to Xin Ziruo's name.

"Oh... is she that powerful?" Mo Lin sneered.

"You're underestimating the Goddess; she's not just powerful, she's practically ruling with an iron fist."

Yuan Hong quickly added, "In the East District, provoking her means you won't survive."

Yuan Hong even dared not directly call Xin Ziruo's name, showcasing how much she revered Xin Ziruo.

"Lord Mo Lin, the times have changed.

Three years ago, you were the Evil Spirit Slayer of the East District, blocking the Evil Buddha, but today, many are as powerful as you.

Even stronger people are numerous."

"Times have changed... Times have changed again..."

Since Mo Lin disappeared for a year, upon returning, he kept hearing this phrase.

Upon hearing this phrase again, Mo Lin felt an inexplicable rage inside him.

"Even if times have changed.

Even if the sky falls, mountains collapse, rivers dry up.

Corpses pile into mountains, blood flows into rivers.

Everyone in the East District dies.

I, Mo Lin, will still kill Xin Ziruo."

Brief but clear.

This is Mo Lin's mentality.

Yuan Hong helplessly swallowed, no longer responding.

He couldn't respond to those words.

Mo Lin glanced at Gen Family Business, then at Yuan Hong, and said, "You two discuss your matters yourselves."

Mo Lin was referring to the marriage of Gen Family Business and Yuan Hong's daughter.

This is something Mo Lin couldn't meddle in.

Gen Family Business nodded and walked over to Yuan Hong, the two of them talked for over three hours, but Mo Lin didn't know the specific result.

After the talks ended, Yuan Hong left with the group.

It was nighttime now.

Candlelight illuminated the rooms of the Gen Family.

Mo Lin, Gen Family Business, Six-Eared Mingyue, along with several unfamiliar faces to Mo Lin, about eight people, sat in chairs.

The warm-toned light reflected on everyone's faces.

The group was briefing Mo Lin on the current situation in the East District.

Giving Mo Lin important information.

"Are you aware of Yin Qi?" Mo Lin asked a question that concerned him greatly.

Yin Qi had clashed with Mo Lin, and Mo Lin wanted to investigate Yin Qi further.

At the sound of Mo Lin's voice, the temperature in the room noticeably dropped.

"A rising star, a family that rose in the East District over the past year," a man slowly said.

"They are a group of very powerful people."

With a serious expression, Gen Family Business informed Mo Lin, "A year ago, Yin Qi and a group of people conducted a ceremony called 'Lure and Kill'.

Somehow, they managed to capture the Jiangzhou People.

They gained massive benefits from those Jiangzhou People.

All those who participated in that event are now extremely formidable beings."

Mo Lin's head shook violently.

"Jiangzhou People"

These three words used to be revered by everyone in the East District.

You could say it was the Jiangzhou People who began the era of Daoist Cultivators and Ghost-Controlling Masters.

Mo Lin felt as if struck by lightning, overwhelmed with an unprecedented sense of bewilderment.

No wonder Yuan Hong and others kept repeating that times had changed.

The Jiangzhou People, who once swept everything and started the entire Daoist Cultivator era, had actually been captured.

It was simply unimaginable.

Mo Lin couldn't fathom how those invincible Jiangzhou People could be easily captured.

Suddenly... Mo Lin's pupils shrunk intensely, he asked, "Were all the Jiangzhou People captured?"

This question was crucial, as it included the elder sister who had paved the way for Mo Lin.

Gen Family Business hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Yes."
