Li Yuemei noticed the change in Mo Lin's emotions and exclaimed.

"You don't happen to know that woman, do you?"

"Yes, I know her." Mo Lin nodded slowly.

"Ah... What's your relationship?" Li Yuemei suddenly became interested.

"She's my sister."

The moment he said these words, Mo Lin suddenly felt quite emotional.

It felt so surreal.

After not seeing her for so many years, his sister had somehow become a Vermilion Bird.

No one knew what had happened during Mo Lin's disappearance over the years.

"Ah..."

Li Yuemei let out a cry, realizing she was too loud, and quickly covered her mouth.

"You must be quite important? To have such an amazing sister."

Li Yuemei's pupils gradually widened in surprise.

"I heard that Mo Haiyue seems to have a big sister, and she's your second sister.

Isn't your eldest sister also remarkable?"

Li Yuemei's words revealed Mo Lin's entire family situation.

"I don't know either."

Actually... Mo Lin had been back for so long but hadn't returned home.

He should find a chance to go back.

"It's been a long time since I've been home. Once I get the Netherworld's Nether Fire, I should make a trip to Jiangzhou." Mo Lin said softly.

"Jiangzhou? You want to go back to Jiangzhou?" Li Yuemei looked at Mo Lin in disbelief and said again, "Are you serious?"

"Of course I'm serious, my family is there." Mo Lin answered confidently.

"What family? I really doubt you're from Dragon Country."

Li Yuemei said to Mo Lin, "There haven't been any people in Jiangzhou for a long time. The place is now called Ghost City, there are only ghosts, not people."

"Jiangzhou is a very special place, the site where ghosts descend every seven years, right there in Jiangzhou.

Back then, many people were unfamiliar with ghosts, and many died, so Jiangzhou was occupied by ghosts, and now no one lives there."

"You didn't know?"

Mo Lin shook his head, "No idea."

Not only did he not know,

Mo Lin had no information at all.

"How long has it been since you went home?" Li Yuemei, after chatting with Mo Lin for so long, noticed a problem.

Mo Lin seemed completely unaware of the situation in Jiangzhou.

"A long time." Mo Lin felt a bit awkward.

At the time of the ghost invasion, Mo Lin had gone to the Underworld, unaware of many things.

As for his sister being a Vermilion Bird, he knew even less.

Just then, the Li Family Master gestured for Li Yuemei to come over.

Li Yuemei stood up and walked to the Li Family Master, and the two went to the basement to discuss something unknown.

The Celestial Solitude Star stood guard at the basement door to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.

Mo Lin sat idly in his chair, bored, and picked up the Ghost Suppression Book.

The first page of the Ghost Suppression Book again displayed large golden letters.

[Task: Choose one of two options.

First, escape Beihai, reward: three years of Dao Practice.

Second, eliminate a Disaster Level ghost, reward: Pure Origin and Profound Dao Technique.]

The tasks had changed from before.

Previously, tasks always assigned Mo Lin to catch ghosts, but now they instructed him to flee?

What's the situation?

Why run?

The three-year Dao Practice was useless to Mo Lin as he didn't practice the Orthodox Daoist School's cultivation techniques, so he didn't have Dao Practice.

As for the Pure Origin and Profound Dao Technique, that was quite precious.

Just from the name, you could tell it was a genuine Daoist cultivation technique.

But Mo Lin was puzzled, why should he flee Beihai?

What was going on?

While Mo Lin hesitated, Li Yuemei, with a gloomy face, emerged from the basement in the distance.

At the same time, the Li Family Master also wore a gloomy expression.

Those unaware might think they had argued.

Li Yuemei approached Mo Lin slowly, her eyes reddened as if she were about to cry.

Why the face of death?

She shouldn't be happy about becoming the Li Family Master?

Why the long face?

"Can you take him with me?" Li Yuemei pointed at Mo Lin and asked the Celestial Solitude Star.

Celestial Solitude Star shook her head, "No, I can only take one person away."

Sensing this, Mo Lin suddenly tensed up.

Recalling the task from the Ghost Suppression Book just now, he had a very bad feeling.

This feeling was especially strong at this moment.

Li Yuemei felt a deep sense of guilt.

Mo Lin had offended the Fire Talisman Celestial Master Mansion and the Thunder Talisman Celestial Master Mansion to help her secure the title of heir.

Now, she couldn't even bring Mo Lin a chance of rescue.

"Can you stop looking at me with those pitiful eyes? Can you tell me what's actually happening?" Mo Lin asked Li Yuemei.

"Beihai is sealed now, and no one can leave Beihai." Li Yuemei slowly said.

As Mo Lin thought, something had happened.

Beihai, a city!

A city sealed, this carried deep meaning.

"I'm sorry, Mo Lin, I don't have the ability to take you away." Li Yuemei didn't even have the right to bring someone along.

Celestial Solitude Star was willing to take her because of the Li Family.

Celestial Solitude Star had limited abilities, she could only take one person.

That person was the heir of the Li Family.

"Why was Beihai sealed?" Mo Lin asked in confusion.

"I don't know, I don't know why either." Li Yuemei shook her head and answered.

Mo Lin looked at Celestial Solitude Star in the distance, hoping for an answer.

"Don't ask me, I don't know either."

Celestial Solitude Star slowly answered, "I heard that by then, ninety percent of people will die."

Mo Lin's head buzzed at this moment.

"Don't worry, Mo Lin, once I leave, I'll go find your sister. If she knows you're in Beihai, she'll definitely come to rescue you." Li Yuemei said again.

Mo Lin didn't respond to Li Yuemei.

At this moment, his mind was completely focused on the task from earlier.

Extinguish a disaster-level ghost, reward with the Pure Origin and Profound Dao Technique.

Analyzing this, it is highly likely that this matter is related to a disaster-level ghost.

Celestial Solitude Star crossed his arms, appearing indifferent and unconcerned about Beihai's affairs.

"Netherworld's Nether Fire?" Mo Lin asked in confusion.

"Come to the Li Family tonight, I will give you the Netherworld's Nether Fire, whether you can master it depends on you." Patriarch Li said to Mo Lin calmly.

"Okay." Mo Lin nodded in response.

Mo Lin did not linger further and turned to leave, heading back to the Ghost-Controlling Society.

At the Ghost-Controlling Society, everything seemed the same as usual.

There weren't many changes.

As soon as Mo Lin returned, Lin Xi called him over.

Lin Xi, Yun Lin, and Feng Mingyu were all there at the moment.

All three displayed solemn expressions.

"Mo Lin, there's trouble." Lin Xi said first.

"Li messaged us, saying Beihai is now sealed, telling us to escape quickly." Feng Mingyu added.

To avoid unnecessary panic, they didn't disclose these matters to others.

They only called Mo Lin to discuss the situation.

"Li said that if we don't leave Beihai, we will die here." Lin Xi added.

This message took everyone by surprise.

It was too sudden.

It felt like a sudden downpour under the bright sun.

"I'll take you to find a way out." Mo Lin said slowly.

"Once we find a way out, we'll leave together." Lin Xi said again.

"I'll first help you leave Beihai, then I'll go after." Currently, Mo Lin couldn't leave Beihai.

He hadn't obtained the Netherworld's Nether Fire yet.

He could only leave once he got the Nether Fire.

"Alright." Lin Xi replied slowly.

So, the group went out and drove away.

This car was newly bought by Lin Xi this morning, specifically for the escape.

Driving along the road, reaching the end, they found it blocked.

Two large trucks blocked the road ahead, preventing passage.

Reluctantly, Lin Xi and Mo Lin, along with the others, got out to walk.

They passed the trucks and continued forward.

No one stopped them, they smoothly passed the trucks.

Mo Lin and the others simultaneously halted.

A golden barrier blocked the path right ahead.

Blocking everyone's route.

Mo Lin stepped forward and touched the golden barrier with his hand.

This texture was similar to glass.

"Bang!"

Mo Lin punched the barrier with force.

A muffled sound echoed.

The barrier remained unharmed.

Everyone wondered, what is this?

"Chen Xi!" Mo Lin called out.

Chen Xi appeared before Mo Lin.

"Break through." Mo Lin commanded Chen Xi.

As Chen Xi touched the barrier, "Sizzle..." white smoke billowed out.

Like splashing cold water on hot oil.

Crackling sounds.

Chen Xi quickly retreated.

She couldn't break the barrier, not even touch it.

She was a deadly-level ghost, yet she couldn't break it.

Only one possibility, this thing counters ghosts.

"Shall we check the sides?" Lin Xi suggested slowly.

The group continued to the side.

They walked for at least thirty minutes.

No matter the direction, the barrier continued blocking the way.

Clearly trapping them inside and preventing exit.

"What do we do?" Lin Xi mumbled and asked in confusion.

Everyone turned their attention towards Mo Lin.

"Don't look at me, I have no solution for now."

The group had to give up the escape plan and return to the Ghost-Controlling Society.

Mo Lin returned, the first thing he did was seek out Zhonghai.

He was the chief at the Ghost-Controlling headquarters, surely he knew something.

Opening the office door, the room was filled with dense smoke.

The smoke was overwhelming.

Zhonghai held a cigarette, exhaling white smoke deeply, looking pensive.

"Do you know about being unable to leave Beihai?" Mo Lin asked Zhonghai.

"I know." Zhonghai responded in a low voice.

"What's happening? What's the situation?" Mo Lin was completely in the dark.

What was going on?

Why suddenly, one couldn't leave Beihai?

And what was that strange barrier?

"I don't know either."

Zhonghai laid back in his chair, speaking in a low tone: "We might have been abandoned."

"You can't leave either?"

Zhonghai was the chief at the Beihai Ghost-Controlling headquarters, surely his status should help?

Zhonghai shook his head, "I can't leave either, if we want to survive, we must save ourselves."

Unfortunately, no useful information was obtained.

Things happened too suddenly.

Even with Zhonghai saying so, they were truly helpless.

Mo Lin suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

He needed to get the Netherworld's Nether Fire as soon as possible.

Only then would he be prepared for impending danger.
