"Speak directly if you have something to say." Xin Ziruo showed a vigilant expression, and the trace of gentleness deep in her eyes vanished immediately, replaced by alertness.

"I want a wisp of immortal energy."

Mo Lin said slowly to Xin Ziruo, "I know that immortal Qi is very precious to you. I can give you something equivalent in exchange."

"Immortal Qi? That thing is useless to you."

Xin Ziruo replied bluntly.

Mo Lin is just an ordinary person. Even if he cultivates as a Red Dust Immortal, he is merely a Red Dust Immortal.

Her wisp of immortal Qi has no effect on Mo Lin whatsoever.

Giving Mo Lin a wisp of immortal Qi is like farting in the palm of his hand.

Other than smelling it, there's no effect whatsoever.

"It might not be useful to others, but it's useful to me." Mo Lin seriously replied to Xin Ziruo.

"How does it help you?" Xin Ziruo had to clarify why Mo Lin wanted a wisp of immortal Qi.

If she didn't understand the reason, she wouldn't give Mo Lin this immortal Qi.

Even if the reason was clarified, she would still certainly consider it.

Mo Lin knew well that he had to be upfront, or Xin Ziruo definitely wouldn't give him the immortal Qi.

There wouldn't even be a chance to negotiate.

"Um... Actually, I'm cultivating the Five Viscera Concealing Ghost Skill."

Upon hearing the term "Five Viscera Concealing Ghost Skill," Xin Ziruo's expression became even more solemn.

Beside them, Jiang Yun took a deep breath, and her pupils gradually widened.

Jiang Yun tugged Mo Lin's coat sleeve with her right hand, signaling him not to continue speaking.

Mo Lin was flustered by Jiang Yun's sudden action.

He didn't understand why Jiang Yun was giving him this signal.

"Sister Xin, the benefactor was just joking with you! He's not cultivating the Five Viscera Concealing Ghost Skill." Jiang Yun explained to Xin Ziruo.

At that moment, Xin Ziruo was staring straight at Mo Lin, not listening to Jiang Yun's words.

"Don't speak, it's none of your business." Xin Ziruo coldly said to Jiang Yun.

Helplessly, Jiang Yun could only shut her mouth.

She's well aware that Xin Ziruo was about to get angry.

Xin Ziruo asked Mo Lin again, "What did you just say?"

Her attitude and tone were much stricter than before.

Mo Lin wasn't naive; he felt that the atmosphere was a bit off.

Quite different from the mood when they were talking earlier.

"Five Viscera Concealing Ghost Skill!" Mo Lin could only bite the bullet and respond.

As soon as the words fell, Xin Ziruo raised her right hand, and a flash of sword light cut towards Mo Lin.

Mo Lin ducked swiftly, narrowly evading the sword blow.

However, the rock behind Mo Lin wasn't as lucky.

The rock behind was directly split into two.

Xin Ziruo genuinely intended to kill Mo Lin.

Mo Lin was utterly bewildered.

Today was definitely the first time he'd met Xin Ziruo; there was no interaction between them before.

Why would Xin Ziruo immediately try to kill him?

An oddball?

Or maybe she has a mental condition?

Relying on her good looks?

The killing intent deep in Xin Ziruo's eyes was conspicuous. She raised her hand again, slicing towards Mo Lin with another sword strike.

Mo Lin dodged Xin Ziruo's attack and countered, "If you won't give the immortal Qi, then so be it, but you immediately try to kill me?"

"Do we have a grudge?"

"Yes, you and I have a feud that cannot be reconciled."

As her words ended, Xin Ziruo raised her left hand, chanting an incantation.

Inviting Immortal!

Exactly the same as Mo Lin inviting a ghost.

She truly intended to kill Mo Lin, and it was the kind of merciless attempt.

Xin Ziruo even used the Five Viscera Concealing Immortal Technique.

A terrifying wave of immortal Qi directly pushed Jiang Yun and others backward more than a meter.

The gust swept all around.

Nearby ghosts at this moment also felt this vibe and avoided it one after another.

"Benefactor, hurry up and flee," Jiang Yun reminded Mo Lin.

Although Mo Lin didn't understand what was happening, leaving was the best choice for him now.

Thus, Mo Lin turned and left directly.

Xin Ziruo aimed to chase Mo Lin, but was blocked by Jiang Yun.

Jiang Yun clung to Xin Ziruo tightly, hugging her, "Sister Xin, I know you're very angry, but those events are issues from the previous generation, please don't be so furious."

"An elder's trust, I shall remember all my life." Xin Ziruo coldly replied.

"Move aside, let me kill this guy."

"Sister Xin, the benefactor is really powerful. If you fight him, you'll both end up wounded, and it may lead to the defense of Yunhua Dao failing, which won't be worth the loss," Jiang Yun urged Xin Ziruo again.

At this point, Mo Lin's figure had disappeared from Xin Ziruo's view.

Maybe convinced by Jiang Yun's logic, Xin Ziruo let go.

"Once I resolve the Yunhua Dao crisis, I will kill him." Xin Ziruo's tone was sure, unaware that Mo Lin bore such deep-seated hatred with her.

Mo Lin had no idea where he ran to, just to escape from Xin Ziruo.

He even got lost.

Really a nutcase.

Killing someone without so much as a word; isn't this insanity?

If Mo Lin weren't striving to seize the position of Yin God, unwilling to overdraw his powers, he'd surely fight Xin Ziruo.

To see whether the Five Viscera Concealing Ghost Skill or Five Viscera Concealing Immortal Technique is stronger.

Mo Lin stood still, pondering.

Since he's already out, he thought he'd go for the Yin God position first.

Before that, he'd figure out the general situation here.

"Ghost Mother." Mo Lin summoned the Ghost Mother.

Mo Lin intended to leverage Ghost Mother's powers to ask some questions to the two ghosts from the Underworld.

Upon appearing, Ghost Mother craned her neck, gazing into the distance, "Master, just now, I seemed to sense the aura of the Five Viscera Concealing Immortal Technique."

"Yes, there was a crazy lady cultivating the Five Viscera Concealing Immortal Technique who tried to kill me," Mo Lin complained.

"Master, thank goodness you ran fast enough, otherwise you'd be in for some bad luck," Ghost Mother couldn't help but remark.

"What do you mean?" Mo Lin sensed some hidden implication in Ghost Mother's words?

"Just the literal meaning! If you don't run, you'd likely be beaten to death—your Five Viscera Concealing Ghost Skill can't compare to the Five Viscera Concealing Immortal Technique." Ghost Mother's voice, though not loud, was crystal clear to Mo Lin.

"What do you mean? Are you saying the Five Viscera Concealing Ghost Skill is weaker than the Five Viscera Concealing Immortal Technique?"

"Obviously, from the literal meaning, can't you tell?" Ghost Mother had a somewhat mocking tone in her words.

"The Five Viscera Concealing Immortal Technique naturally counters the Five Viscera Concealing Ghost Skill."

Ghost Mother lowered her voice and told Mo Lin, "So, Master, if you ever meet that immortal technique cultivator again, avoid them if you can."

At this moment, Mo Lin didn't know how to respond.

Encountering someone who counters him—it's not the worst thing.

The worst thing is that the person who counters him wants him dead.

This is like being unlucky to the utmost degree.

"It's really odd. We were meeting for the first time; why does she want to kill me?" Mo Lin asked Ghost Mother, puzzled.

"Master, you shouldn't blame yourself; blame the previous owner of the Five Viscera Concealing Ghost Skill."

Ghost Mother murmured, "Blame my teacher? Zhong Kui?"

"Why?"
