Mo Lin left the Ghost-Controlling Society and saw Li Gu staggering along the street.
His dark circles were heavy, and his face was deathly pale.
Completely different from this morning.
Like a walking corpse.
This strange behavior caught Mo Lin's attention.
Mo Lin stopped Li Gu and called him over to the Ghost-Controlling Society, and the two talked for a long time.
An hour later, Li Gu left.
Nightfall descended.
Mo Lin arrived at the Li Family as promised.
He did not see Li Yuemei's figure.
He only saw Li Gu standing in the distance.
At the same time, there was a man dressed in black clothes standing behind Li Gu, wearing glasses.
He looked unfamiliar.
"You've come... come with me." The Patriarch of the Li Family waved to Mo Lin as he saw him arrive.
"Where is Li Yuemei?" Mo Lin asked curiously.
"Gone, left with the Celestial Solitude Star." The Patriarch of the Li Family slowly replied.
"Why didn't you go?" Mo Lin asked curiously.
"I'm old, I won't live for many more years, the Celestial Solitude Star was only willing to take one person." The Patriarch of the Li Family answered unhurriedly.
As they spoke, they had already arrived in front of a cave on the back mountain.
The entrance was burning with black flames, preventing outsiders from entering.
The Patriarch of the Li Family touched the black flames with his hand.
The black flames slowly receded.
"Father, I also want to see the Netherworld's Nether Fire." Li Gu slowly said.
"Alright, you can come in too." The Patriarch of the Li Family readily agreed.
Thus Li Gu also walked into the cave with them.
Soon they reached the end of the cave.
The mass of black flames was burning.
"Mo Lin, the Netherworld's Nether Fire is right here, if you have the ability, you can take it yourself." The Patriarch of the Li Family said unhurriedly to Mo Lin.
He agreed to give the Netherworld's Nether Fire to Mo Lin.
Whether Mo Lin could take the Netherworld's Nether Fire depended on his ability.
Before Mo Lin had a chance to move, an unexpected incident occurred.
Li Gu suddenly rushed forward, grabbing the Patriarch of the Li Family's arm with his right hand and said, "Father, don't resist, I don't want to hurt you."
"Li Gu, what are you doing?" The Patriarch of the Li Family scolded angrily.
"I don't want to do anything; I just want what should rightfully belong to me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Gu pulled out a syringe from somewhere and injected it into the Patriarch's neck.
The Patriarch's body immediately went limp and he fell into a coma.
"Li Gu, well done." The man wearing glasses praised Li Gu upon seeing the Patriarch fall into a coma.
He hadn't intervened because he feared the Patriarch.
This old man, controlling the Netherworld's Nether Fire and going mad, who wouldn't be afraid?
The Patriarch didn't guard against Li Gu, which allowed Li Gu to succeed.
If it were anyone else, the Patriarch would never have fallen for it.
"Leave the next steps to me." The man with glasses said slowly.
The man with glasses took out a white jar about the size of a fist.
He slowly opened the jar.
A surge of black ghost qi flowed out of the jar.
The fierce ghosts surrounded Mo Lin.
About seven ghosts, all of them were deadly level ghosts.
Mo Lin was not surprised.
It was expected.
Mo Lin had long known who Li Gu was colluding with.
He also guessed that the recent assassination attempt on Li Yuemei was connected to Li Gu.
The scene before his eyes just confirmed Mo Lin's suspicions.
"The one who tried to assassinate Li Yuemei before, was it you?" Mo Lin asked the man with glasses.
"That's right, it was me." Hou Caijun confidently answered.
"Did Li Gu arrange for you to do it?" Mo Lin asked again.
"No, it's not related to Li Gu, it was my own idea." Hou Caijun did not lie, admitting it candidly.
It was his own idea, unrelated to Li Gu.
He mainly felt that Li Yuemei was an eyesore and wanted to get rid of her.
"Who are you?" Mo Lin asked again.
"You talk too much." Hou Caijun didn't want to waste words with Mo Lin.
If they couldn't talk it out, then they could only fight.
Chen Xi!
Chu Xing!
Bing Yu
Mo Lin summoned these contract ghosts, preparing to deal with the surrounding ghosts.
Suddenly, a black figure appeared.
This man was followed by four young individuals.
Their costumes were very familiar to Mo Lin.
He had seen such clothes before when he was in Yun Chuan.
These people were from the Copper Coin Celestial Master Mansion.
Mo Lin already had a grudge against the Copper Coin Celestial Master Mansion.
"I am Zhang Xiaoxiao from the Copper Coin Celestial Master Mansion." The young man introduced himself to Mo Lin.
Afraid that Mo Lin would not recognize him, he added.
"By the way, I'm the second most powerful in Copper Coin Celestial Master Mansion, next to my master, I'm the most powerful."
While speaking, Zhang Xiaoxiao took out the Copper Coin Sword.
The Copper Coin Sword swung and directly charged at Chen Xi.
Chen Xi used Ghost Skill, Ghost Fire gushed out, entangling with Zhang Xiaoxiao.
At the same time, the other four also made their moves.
These people from the Copper Coin Celestial Master Mansion were elite, adept at techniques to catch ghosts.
They were experienced in fighting with ghosts.
Chu Xing and Hong Ye both were at a disadvantage, being beaten and retreating continuously.
Only Chen Xi and Bing Yu were holding their ground.
Chen Xi, relying on Ghost Skill, tangled with Zhang Xiaoxiao.
"Stop staring, let those ghosts take action, we must eliminate Mo Lin today," Zhang Xiaoxiao said slowly to Hou Caijun.
"I know." Hou Caijun gave the order to the deadly-level ghosts to kill Mo Lin.
Seven deadly-level ghosts charged at Mo Lin simultaneously.
Mo Lin took out the Thunder Talisman to fend off the attacks of the deadly-level ghosts.
Ever since he arrived in Beihai,
Mo Lin has always been playing high-stakes games.
The enemies he encountered recently have been this troublesome.
"Mo Lin, it's not that I want to kill you, it's the ghosts of the Ghost Realm that won't let you live, so you can only die." Hou Caijun said leisurely to Mo Lin.
Mo Lin waved the Thunder Talisman, a flash of lightning covered his body.
Mo Lin rushed towards a deadly-level ghost and struck it with a palm, causing it to stagger back.
At this moment, another deadly-level ghost charged at Mo Lin.
Seven deadly-level ghosts, taking turns, attacked Mo Lin.
Mo Lin was blocked by the seven deadly-level ghosts.
Hou Caijun moved to the front of the Netherworld's Nether Fire, taking out a green bottle.
This green bottle was no ordinary item.
It was a Yin Artifact.
He turned the bottle upside down, and the Netherworld's Nether Fire was sucked into the jade bottle.
Li Gu eyed the jade bottle cautiously and said, "Is this the Netherworld's Nether Fire? Can I take a look?"
"Look at you, like you've never seen the world, go ahead and take a look." Hou Caijun handed the jade bottle to Li Gu.
Li Gu held the bottle in both hands, lifting it up and examining it carefully.
At this moment, Mo Lin activated the Thunder Talisman with full force.
Lightning surged forth.
Mo Lin tore a deadly-level ghost apart with sheer force.
Using the Thunder Talisman this way would shorten the time he could use it.
The sacrifice of time was exchanged for explosive power.
"Preparing to fight to death?" Hou Caijun stepped back, questioning in confusion.
In his view, Mo Lin's approach was nothing but a struggle before death.
Of no use at all.
Mo Lin rushed at Zhang Xiaoxiao, attempting to save Chen Xi and the other ghosts.
Zhang Xiaoxiao met Mo Lin head-on in battle.
He swung the Copper Coin Sword, clashing directly with Mo Lin's Thunder Talisman.
The Copper Coin Sword had extraordinary power, offering no disadvantage against Mo Lin.
"Do you know why it's me and not my master who came?" Zhang Xiaoxiao teased Mo Lin.
Mo Lin ignored him, continuing to fight Zhang Xiaoxiao.
Zhang Xiaoxiao continued, "My master and the others should be on their way to the Ghost-Controlling Society, and by sunrise tomorrow, Beihai will be without the Ghost-Controlling Society."
Mo Lin's pupils contracted sharply.
"What are you planning to do?"
"Nothing, just making the Ghost-Controlling Society disappear," Zhang Xiaoxiao replied calmly.
The Ghost-Controlling Society in Beihai was hindering the development of the Copper Coin Celestial Master Mansion.
That's why the Copper Coin Celestial Master Mansion was so eager to wipe out the Ghost-Controlling Society.
Mo Lin immediately became anxious.
Feng Mingyu and Lin Xi were all at the Ghost-Controlling Society now.
They might encounter danger.
"Want to save them? I'm telling you, don't even think about it. You better think about how to survive yourself," Zhang Xiaoxiao snorted coldly.
Zhang Xiaoxiao and his group were clearly well-prepared, aware that Mo Lin had many Contract Ghosts.
They had prearranged formation arrays to trap Chen Xi and Chu Xing, among others.
A similar situation had happened at the Xin Family before.
It felt like all these arrangements were made to deal with Mo Lin.
As if there was a hidden hand behind everything, plotting in the shadows.
"Pfft!"
In the cave, blood splattered.
Hou Caijun clutched his neck in disbelief, his pupils wide, turning to look at Li Gu, who was holding a blood-stained dagger.
Hou Caijun never imagined that he would be killed by such an insignificant person.
No one expected Li Gu to betray him.
Blood flowed down his neck, soaking Hou Caijun's clothes.
Li Gu's arm trembled; he was very nervous now.
"Why?" Hou Caijun asked unwillingly, blood spurting from his mouth.
"You were the one who harmed me first; I'm just protecting myself," Li Gu replied, steeling himself.
"Thud!"
Hou Caijun's body fell to the ground, lifeless.
He just died like that.
With Hou Caijun dead, the Contract Ghosts he released became ownerless.
This made handling them much easier.
The smile disappeared from Zhang Xiaoxiao's face immediately.
Things happened too abruptly.
Why did Li Gu suddenly betray?
Wasn't Hou Caijun controlling Li Gu?
What's going on now?
Mo Lin charged in front of a deadly-level ghost, using the Thunder Talisman as the Power of Thunder surged.
A bolt of lightning struck directly at one of the deadly-level ghosts.
It tore the deadly-level ghost into scattered souls.
These ghosts couldn't be collected into the Ghost Suppression Book.
These ghosts lacked the consciousness they should have had, now they're like soulless husks.
Thus they can't be collected into the Ghost Suppression Book.
They're not like those ghosts with their own consciousness.
Such ghosts are refined through certain means.
Throughout their entire existence, they will remain at this level without any progress.
They're different from Chen Xi and the others.
Although Chen Xi is now a deadly-level ghost, she still has room for improvement. With enough resources, she could become a disaster-level ghost.
When dealing with these shell-like deadly-level ghosts, there's only destruction, no alternative.
Originally, there were seven deadly-level ghosts, now only four are left.
The others were killed by Mo Lin at this point.
