Mo clenched his fist tightly, veins bulging on his arm.

This straw doll had a rough sketch on it, but Mo recognized this person.

She was the first friend Mo met when he returned to the mortal world.

Xianyun.

Though they hadn't met in a long time, Mo still remembered what she looked like.

"It's enough that you recognize her."

Qi Yu nodded with a smile, then picked up the straw doll and threatened Mo.

"This straw doll is linked to your friend; if I break it, your friend will die.

"You really have no bottom line," Mo said, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Qi Yu smiled slowly, "It's just a little trick."

Her smile made Mo feel nauseated, even wanting to vomit.

"What do you want? Just say it directly."

Mo didn't want to beat around the bush with Qi Yu and asked her coldly.

"Come with me."

Qi Yu commanded Mo in an authoritative tone.

"Alright." Mo nodded and followed Qi Yu out.

As for Jin Luo and the others, they would return to normal as soon as Qi Yu left.

Qi Yu pushed a wooden cart ahead, while Mo followed closely behind.

The two of them then boarded a white van in the distance and drove for about ten minutes to a deserted courtyard.

"Get out of the car."

Mo slowly got out, unaware of where this place was.

In front was a group of people wearing black uniforms, with a unified emblem on their clothes.

"Old Ji, I've brought the person you wanted," Qi Yu called out to the distance as she entered the courtyard.

A middle-aged man in colorful clothes slowly walked out from inside the courtyard.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Ji Xu, I'm the eighth elder of the Lin Shi Group."

Ji Xu introduced himself to Mo.

The Lin Shi Group, also known as the Evil Cultivation Group.

He was from the same place as the Corpse Immortal who previously troubled Mo.

"Young man, I invited you here to discuss something," Ji Xu said to Mo with a smile.

"Invite? Threatening me with my friend, is that how you invite someone?"

Mo asked Ji Xu word by word.

"Don't get angry, don't get angry..."

Ji Xu moved a chair for Mo to calm him down.

"I was afraid you wouldn't come, so I used a little trick, don't be mad."

"I really admire you; after hearing about your story, I couldn't wait to meet you," Ji Xu said again to Mo.

"I want to ask you to kill ghosts."

Mo frowned slightly; Ji Xu was an evil cultivator.

He had blood on his hands from countless innocent lives, and Mo was reluctant to help him.

Especially under threat... he didn't want to help him at all.

Seeing Mo's thoughts, Ji Xu said again, "I am a bastard... I am heartless... I have killed countless... I deserve to die..."

"I know I deserve to die... Rest assured, I am not merely asking for your help, I will sacrifice my own life in exchange for you to strike once."

This left Mo utterly confused...

Why did it seem like things weren't so simple?

When Mo didn't understand, Ji Xu said again, "I know you have a vendetta against the Ghost Realm, and so do I."

"I want to ask you to help me deal with the Ghost Realm."

As he spoke, Ji Xu stood up straight and then knelt down in front of Mo.

"Please, Lord Mo Lin, strike... against the Ghost Realm."

His attitude was earnest, and his tone was passionate.

"I know I'm an evil cultivator, and you don't want to help me."

Ji Xu lifted his head, speaking earnestly, "I will exchange my life for a chance for you to strike!"

"By killing me, you would be ridding the world of a menace as well."

"Moreover, by killing those ghosts of the Ghost Realm, you are also protecting the mortal world."

Mo fell into deep thought, contemplating Ji Xu's motives bit by bit.

"Stop guessing, Old Ji has no malicious intent, he truly wishes for your help."

Qi Yu was sitting on the wooden cart she pushed, speaking slowly, "Old Ji had a son half a month ago, and he was overjoyed."

"Yesterday he learned that his son and wife were killed by ghosts from the Ghost Realm, so he has thoughts of revenge."

"Old Ji is indeed a bad guy, a scoundrel... but his wife did nothing wrong... neither did his son, they were merely ordinary people.

Old Ji is no match for the Ghost Realm and thus sought your help."

Before approaching Mo, they had already investigated him thoroughly.

Knowing that Mo had a grudge against the Ghost Realm, they decided to find Mo.

"Lord Mo Lin, you're not just avenging me, you're also avenging yourself."

Ji Xu knelt in front of Mo again, saying, "I will use my life to pave the way for your revenge."

With the explanations from the two, Mo finally understood the situation.

Seeing Mo still silent, Ji Xu spoke again, "My son and wife are ordinary people who haven't done anything wrong."

"I am a sinner, I will die, but I beg you to avenge my son and wife."

Not just for him, but Mo also needed revenge.

He had a grudge against the Ghost Realm.

This was the reason Ji Xu came to find Mo.

"What about my friend?" Mo asked Qi Yu on the side.

"Rest assured, I won't touch her, I swear by my soul." With that, Qi Yu swore she wouldn't harm Mo's friends in any way.

Likewise, Ji Xu also swore not to trouble Mo's friends.

"Leave a contact method." Mo asked Ji Xu for a way to contact him.

"Is this a yes from you?"

Mo nodded slightly.

Ji Xu pursed his lips, unsure whether he was happy or sad.

Mo wasn't avenging Ji Xu; he was seeking his own revenge.

The Ghost Realm had been causing troubles in the shadows, and Mo needed to retaliate against them.

Moreover, the destruction of Yedou City was related to the Ghost Realm.

No matter from which perspective, Mo had to avenge the Ghost Realm.

After exchanging contact information with Ji Xu, they each went their separate ways.

Next, Mo just needed to wait for Ji Xu's notification, and then he would fight the ghosts of the Ghost Realm.

Before that, he needed to enhance his power as much as possible.

Only strong enough power could ensure that the battle with the Ghost Realm wouldn't encounter any unforeseen changes.

When Mo returned to the restaurant, he saw Jin Luo and several others standing at the entrance, seemingly waiting for someone.

"Mo, where did you go?" Jin Luo greeted Mo upon seeing him return.

"Do you know what just happened?" Mo asked Jin Luo.

"Weren't we just having dinner? After we ate, you disappeared."

Jin Luo and the others didn't know what had just transpired.

Mo only nodded and didn't say much.

It wasn't that Jin Luo and his group were too weak; it was that Qi Yu's means were too powerful.

This led Jin Luo and the others to act strangely.

"Teacher Zhang called, asking us to meet up; they've found the target," Jin Luo said to Mo cautiously.
